Pete, The July 2010 review by Norm Fusaro did say that simultaneous transmit and receive were possible using the two FTdx-9000 receivers (and bandpass filters), but only on different bands. I believe, but couldn't find, a clarification in a later issue.

I had always assumed that this wasn't possible does to interaction during transmit, since the K3 doesn't do it. Am I wrong, either about the FTDX-9000 or in general? -- 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the Reverse Beacon Network at http://reversebeacon.net, blog at reversebeacon.blogspot.com.

Now I'm having some problems on 20m and maybe also 15m. Here is what it is doing: 40m and 30m: receives well and transmits 7 watts as calculated with voltage measurements on the DL1 dummy load. 20m : no reception and no signal heard from the XG2 signal generator; no voltage measurable on the DL1 dummy load indicating no power out 15m: no reception (I don't have a signal generator to test on 15m); no voltage measurable on output, but I can receive a signal from the K1 on my general coverage receiver. What I've done so far: 1. checked that the filter board crystals are oscillating by putting my general coverage receiver antenna near the crystals and tuned to the crystal frequency RF probe measurements: 2. VFO U7 pin 4/5: 40m: 0.064v; 30m: 0.034v; 20m: 0.034v; 15m: 0.132v 3. Pre-mix bandpass filter FIL-P1 pin 6: 40m: 0.081v; 30m: 0.046v; 20m: 0.000v; 15m: 0.024v 4. Transmit PRE (out set at 3.0W; but drops to 0.1W in tune mode on 20m and 15m) 40m: 0.080v; 30m: 0.057v; 20m: 0.001v; 15m: 0.29v The only test equipment I have is multimeter, an RF probe, an XG2 signal generator, and a general coverage receiver.

If you only need the CAT, you would connect to the DB9 RS-232 connector on the K3 - no DB15HD involved.

If I run the K3 at 100 watts, the swr shows very low (below 1.3:1) and is consistent. If I put the KPA500 in line, it faults with "high swr" as low as 75 watts displayed on the KPA's display. Also,the swr changes as I transmit, randomly spiking up to full scale and shutting the amp down. It does this with even more frequency at higher power. I have eliminated as many other variables as possible and have come to the conclusion that on 80 meters (only....apparently) enough rf makes its way into the KPA500 to cause this behavior (even at very low power). The antenna is a shunt fed tower, fed with buried hard line about 100 feet from the shack. I feed the same tower (same feedline) on 160 without issue. My instincts tell me the ingress point is the AUX cable (the one thing I haven't tested), but I am otherwise at wit's end. Anyone have any suggestions?
