stands a real chance of damaging the KPA500. I have a broken KPA500 in the

My KAT500 sits on top of the KPA500. The manual says it's OK but I would
like to add clearance to improve air flow. Does anyone have an elegant
solution to raise the KAT500 above the KPA500?

Thanks all!
There's a ref cal on the K3s. I ran through the procedure for that using 15
MHz and rechecked on 10 MHz. Seems this was quite a bit off. Now, not only
is it lining up on WWV but also any CW signal I select lines up very
closely between the marker on the P3 and a 600 Hz marker on

I noticed my P3 doesn't seem to be zeroed with the K3s. When I tune in a CW
signal with a 600 Hz pitch the P3 is off by 71 Hz. Not much but, I
expected - zero.
In AM - WWV at 5 MHz the P3 seems spot on.

A scenario from yesterday's contest.
I have the P3 set up to view about 3 or more KHz of spectrum. I use a K-pod
to run my way up from low to high. I like the FINE setting to get that
signal right where I want it but would like a course transition up to that
signal. I could push a button to turn
Consider one of the settings for your computer mouse is shifting
resolution. This allows you to move the mouse real fast to get from one end
of three monitors to the other. And then, when you slow down, the mouse
goes into micro-resolution mode and you can be very precise in your
movements. This

Is there an off-the-shelf kit of cables/interrupters I can get that would

I've made a few PSK-31 contacts on the K3s and I've not gotten any bad
reports. However, I'm still a little concerned about what I see for ALC.
The video below (no audio) shows the ALC meter responding first to a "TUNE"

Hi Conrad:
I'm looking forward to your tests. I have things set up per Don's and Bob's

Again, I have not way to test quantitatively but the couple of comments

My first PSK-31 contact seemed to go very well. I simply adjusted the MIC

Then I went off and did other things and I'm concerned I changed something.

The only configuration item that I changed was to set KAT500Y in

I expected to be able to hit the ATU TUNE button on the K3s and initiate a

I have had great luck with the simplest of end-fed antennas and the KX3.

Hi:
I plan to drop my use of Flex radios this year. Until yesterday, I had the
new FTdx-101 and a K3S in mind but I'm not in a big rush and was hoping the
rumors of a K4 would turn out to be true. Have to admit, I'm surprised by
how fast it was announced.
So I'm wondering what other people might
You could buy the factory unit, take it apart and put it back together. You
get it faster, you can confirm it works before you take it apart so you
eliminate some of the anxiety when you rebuild it as a kit knowing it
worked before you tore it to pieces.
Or maybe not.
