Yes, this KXBC3 feature is neither implemented nor announced. It is a

The PSK31 and RTTY text decoded by the K3 appears without any structure ON

It looks like the K3 text decode function simply replaces CR/LF characters
by SPACE (maybe ok for VFO B text display).

This is a function of how the K3 decodes CR/LF and passes it to the

As this may probably be not the only point on Wayne's list, my P3SVGA

I can reproduce the error messages stated by simply configuring K2 PORT=OFF.
So if your K2 serial Port is set to ON, make sure the K2 to Computer Cable

I do support the demand that Elecraft should reconsider the K3/P3 control

A hugely useful feature!
To make perfect (e.g. for SOTA use) would it be possible to interpret empty
message memories as non FAST-PLAY?
This would allow to use e.g. BAND+/- for quick band changes and FREQ ENT for

Make sure your DC power plug connected is a 5.5/2.1mm type.
A 5.5/2.5mm type can work also but it must not.

Hi Don and Leif@LA3ZH,
Thanks for clarification!
The question arised since I had not considered this matter before 01.01.2017
(no allocation in HB9) and
Based on the fact that the K2 has 5 BPF and LPF only to cover 9 bands I
wonder
1) if/to what extent the RX performance on the existing bands is influenced
by the addition of the 60m band (K60XV)?
2) what RX performance can be expected on 60m (compared to the K2 standard
bands)?
73, Heinz
Holger,
Your question was indeed crystal clear, so I am sorry that you had to make
this experience.
Don't worry and have fun!
BTW, I suspect that the tuning algorithm used by Wayne for all the AT of
Elecraft does start his try with the minimum inductance (unknown from
competitive reasons, hi)?

I am currently busy assigning the K3 commands/macros to the KPOD switches and
(unfortunately) can not find any command to control the A/B key (2nd RX not
installed).
May I have overlooked something or is there an indirect way to do that?
Sorry if this question has been asked and answered before.

The text "Switch Tap/Hold" in Table 1 just did not trigger me, hi.

What kind of T-R keying circuit is necessary in the K2 (with K60XV installed
for 60m band usage, no XVTRs connected) to operate the KXPA100 amplifier?
a) Will the XVTR Keyline on K60XV J2-2 / Q3 (2N7000) do it correctly?
b) Is a keying circuit like these necessary?
