Great, thanks for the clarification,

Hi Merv,
I don't believe this changes the existing P3TXMON operation with
non-Elecraft radios.
Only if Alan detects that its a K3 when the P3 with P3TXMON is powered
up will he actually query the radio to see if its in TX. Otherwise it
will act as it does now and use detection of forward power to go into
TX mode.

Alan, understand that some one will not always be happy with the way
things are,
any way to make that a menu selection?
I would like to use the P3/TXmon with other radios, this change
would not allow that?
Seems that defeats the ability of the P3 with a TXmon to work with
other radios..
Or did I miss something?

OK, what I did was change it so that, when a K3 is connected, the P3
TX monitor will only go into transmit mode when commanded to do so
by the K3, even if RF power is present on the coax. That should
eliminate the false tripping.
It will be in the next beta release, which should be Real Soon Now.

Guy:
I agree and hold out hope Elecraft will do something.. If the
sensitivity is
set low for QRP operators, seems they would not need the 2KW sensor.
Maybe have an option in the setup.. Like I stated earlier, it is very
annoying and quite sure I'm not the only one with this concern..

It would appear that the display needs an option to gate the
display with
the equivent of local TX asserted so it only responds to its own
transmitted
signal. An option because others might want to know that their TX
signal
was coming back at them on another coax.
Or perhaps set an adjustable gating power level defaulted to one watt.

The transmit sensor in the P3 TX monitor trips at only a few
tenths of
a watt (a few watts with the 2 kW coupler). It was made sensitive so
it would work with QRP.

The radio with the TX Mon is on 6 meters only. The HF antennas are
about
200 feet away and about 150 feet high. That equates to around 90
feet
Above the six meter antenna.. Thought that would be adequate.
This never happens on the Power Master meter or on the LP-100.. Only
the TX Mon.

Almost certainly "inter station coupling" particularly if the two
antennas were close together and/or the (two radio) antenna switch
lacks sufficient isolation.

Sorry, I did not answer your question..
Yes, the VSWR is showing high and all reflected..

As N1AL indicated, the TX MON goes to maximum gain at low signal
levels.
You're probably seeing inter station coupling - hopefully at low
levels.
Is the SWR very high - all "reflected"?

I have two K3's and two P3's but only one has the TX Mon option..
When I transmit with the K3 that does NOT have the TX Mon
installed, the P3 that does have it reacts showing VSWR and one
sweep of the transmit
envelope..
This seems very strange.. The only thing in common between the two
is the MicroHam router program.. Suggestions..??
