I operate from a 50 by 115 foot lot using a tribander and two open wire
fed dipoles. I use a K3 with the auto antenna tuner, but no
panadapter. Primary interest is contesting (usually qrp and S) and DX
chasing. I never operate 2R in contests. There can be fairly high rf
noise levels in the
K3/K3S Last Chance for adding modules and upgrades ordering.
Is the KXV3B the complete IF and VHF interface?, i.e., is it what is
needed to use the P3 for a K3 that never had any IF/VHF interface at all?

Is there any way to control the loudness of the K3 switch feedback
tones, not just turn them on or off?

I worked K1N on RTTY using my K3 using the sub rx to find holes. No
P3, although a may get one. The method I use is to run a second MMTTY
window fed by the sub rx output on the audio right channel, an easy set
up in MMTTY. While it only gives a 3 or 4 khz spectrum, it is helpful,
so I was
I have heard that the configuration of AFSK TX - FIL ON/FIL OFF affects
afsk transmitted by feeding computer sound card generated afsk audio
tones. The entry in the manual seems to indicate the filter is only
active on afsk generated by the K3 internal afsk capability.Which is
correct?
If I open Digipan while my K3 is on, and then activate configuration
on the K3, the config menu selection and change action freeze. The only
thing I need to change is the line out level, but I can't do it while
digipan is running. Any hints?

Amateur radio operators share interest and do not share interest in the
various aspects of this wonderful avocation. Tolerance is something we
all should share. But, being a rtty contest participant, I must note my
observation that during rtty contests, at least on 20, 15 and 10 meters

Hi Dennis
The is a another consideration for digital modes if you are planning to
work RTTY as well as other digital modes. In setting up my K2 a long
time ago, I found much better results with narrow filtering could be
achieved by using an audio frequency pair (mark and space tones) lower
