Hello guys,
Thanks all who have provided very fine inputs on the matter.
To conclude my panadaptor experience, for now It's HDSDR with a straight IF
connection from the K3 to the RSP-1.
The only remaining issue is better calibrating the RSP-1 thus equating the
audio when one follows the
I figured it out...
I am using a separate receive only antenna: just connect it to RX IN,
then connect the SDR to RX OUT; no tee needed.
The tee version is for routing the K3 ANT1 and ANT2 (tx/rx antennas) to
the SDR.

Your subject line indicates that you are using SDRPlay as a panadapter,
and in that case, you would want to connect it to the K3 IF OUT and tune
it to the K3 1st IF of 8.215 MHz. The display will show you what is in
the K3 IF.
If instead you are using it as a sub-receiver, you would

On a TS-590S TX inhibit is menu 60. The EX command is used to change menu
settings over CAT. For a TS-590S -
EX0600; reads the inhibit status
EX06001; sets TX inhibit

For a TS-590SG the menu

Hi Norm,
I power up all my E-gear periodically, including the K1, to remind myself of
how much fun it was to design (and to build S/N 001, which always qualifies
as a home-brew project).
Hope you’re enjoying yours.

Actually, Don, that is not the case. Depending on your software, you can
use the SDRplay as a panadapter using either IF or RF (RX Ant In/Out). I
use my SDRplay both ways. The software has to be told which connection you
are using in order to label frequencies correctly in the display, but they
Reading through all the posts on this list, it just occurred to me - am I the

I still run a 4 band K1. It is my rig of choice for Field Day. My K2/100 is
still my primary rig at home. Coupled with an AL-80BQ, its mojo still breaks

Andy;
Are you saying that you have to send the radio a serial command to engage and
disengage the inhibit property? I don’t see how that is really useful for SO2R
where you need pretty much instant switching, but then I doubt that is its use
on the Kenwood.
That leads to the question of how
Wow, and I have heard that the Elecraft menu items were "cryptic"
One does not get any more cryptic that those Kenwood menu entries.
At least the Elecraft menu items are spelled out in abbreviated English
and not a string of numbers. For instance the TX INH menu is not menu
#60, but is
Hi,
WSJT-X does not touch TX Inhibit.
The only command that WSJT-X sends is a TX; command to enter transmit mode
or it asserts DTR or RTS. The same is true for Yaesu and Icom transceivers.
Now if the radio does this itself behind the scenes, that is another story.
But 100% for sure WSJT-X
052 and 078 are also regularly on the air!

Norm,
I can attest to the fact that you are not the only one still using the
K1, it is still a very fine transceiver.
The K2 is longer lived than the K1, it was the start of Elecraft in
1998, and is still in production 20 years later.

Setting TX Inhibit from the Kenwood TS-590 menu simply requires selecting the
menu number, where the selection is declared in plain English, and then
selecting "on" or "off".

Please keep in mind that the RX IN/Out solution is after the K3/K3S Low
pass Filters. So for instance if you want to monitor 15 meters while
listening to 40 meters, the signals will be greatly attenuated.
There will be no attenuation if you are listening to a band below the

Without an eternal control line (inhibit), the Kenwood TX Inhibit
is more like the Elecraft Test Mode (allows operation but no RF
output). I'm looking for that external control.

TS-590 TX Inhibit can be activated by CAT as I described or by a manual menu

Don,
Thanks for that.
Just in case anyone else asks, I thought you could only select .1 or .2 seconds
delay under ADVANCED settings in WSJT-X. It turns out, you can enter any delay
you want. So, problem solved.

Contact the WSJT-X developers to see if any command they issue would
disable K3 TX Inhibit. Since the exchange on FT8 is so rapid, my guess
is that they may very well disable TX Inhibit as a "safety" measure.
There is nothing about DATA A mode operation of the K3/K3S that would

Please advise:
What's the minimal time elapsing between a "PTT press" and "RF present at

Is it the same when going from "PTT release" to "RF stopped" ?

Isaac,
Review the text for the TX DLY in the menu listing for the PTT Press to
RF output part of your question.
For the PTT Release to RF stopped, look at the PTT RLS menu parameter.

I asked this question previously and was told that the WSJT-X would not effect

In trying to confirm this just now, TX INHIBIT is clearly disabled when I call

Any thoughts?
