I had exactly the same symptons as the OP just a couple of weeks ago and it

display settings from external voltage to internal voltage. I think that the

external supply is normal.

Don,
This value is shown when the 13.8V PS is connected. It had shown the PS
value before, have I missed something?

I received about the same number of similar comments off-list as you've
seen on-list. (Thanks!) So at least twenty of us would eagerly buy such
an upgrade to the KX3 (see my previous post, below).

There are so many variables here that it kind of defies analysis. First of all,
the KX3 uses a BNC connector. Almost always, as you have done, connecting to a

Problem goes away when I reduce to 20W, the maximum for my dummy load.
I just put ferrites on mouse wires, keyboard wires, and sound wires and
nothing changed. I guess I could add more, but ... .
Maybe my best solution is to go to wireless mouse and keyboard. I

Agreed. If you have a bad enough match, and it isn't choked, you can
certainly get enough RF in the shack to cause havoc.
I have some bands I can't use my trackpad *inside my laptop* during
full-power ft8 transmit, because I haven't set up proper antennas for that
band.

All seems to be working fine on 160m-10m except for 17m, so KX3 VFO is
at 18.100 for the rest of this discussion.
Without WSJT-X running, ATU finds a 1.1 match and TUNE button on KX3
works as expected.
With WSJT-X running, using the WSJT-X TUNE button causes the

Go to Don’s web page, W3FPR.com, and you’ll see a list of links on the left
side of the page. Last I looked, the data paper was at the bottom of the list.
Don, IMO, is an Elecraft treasure!

David,
It is a mystery why the computer reports that message only on 17 meters.
There should be no band dependency for the USB connection.

I am finally getting around to setting my KX3 Up for FT-8 and have watched
several YouTube videos on setting up the KX3 and read Don Wilhelm’s excellent
