I'm looking for a device to protect my K3S front end when using a RX antenna.
As I key my rig I can hear the COR clicking and it's making me nervous.
I have seen the AS-RXFEP review by W1ZR in QST. I have also seen devices with
reed relays on the web. What are you using or am I just foolish
Don,
Respectfully, this isn't one button per band. It is two.
Also tapping MV isn't foolproof because this button has two functions.
Tap too long and you don't get MV.

My K3 is set up with a button for each band (except for 60 meters).

used frequency, mode, etc. on the band related
Ah, thanks Jim and Don. While I have made some use of memories, I have not
done anything with M1 through M4, and I didn't realize the first 10 are
special. That's why I hang around this list, to learn more about this

Sorry to disagree David, USB is a BUS. It's specifically designed to be able

You are correct, it is a 2 button sequence, but I did not present it as
a single button operation.
If you hold the MV button instead of tapping it, you get AF Play -

I've heard some South American stations using modulated CW (tone

If other signals don't show it, then it is possible you caught one of

The market already seems to be saturated with radios that appear to meet

I sold an FT-990, an FT-1000D, plus an IC'756ProII shortly after my K-line

not equal to my K3.

Back in the olden days, a small SERIES TUNED
circuit across the receiver input tuned to your
