I will take the S3 as a typo for K3… My suggestions…
1. Familiarize yourself with elecraft.com <http://elecraft.com/> web site, focus on reference manuals and software pages. 2. If your stack of manuals are out of date, consider downloading new copies. 3. Download the K3 utility application and the P3 utility application. 4. You will need a serial USB to Serial 9-pin for connecting computer to K3. You should not need two different serial connections, one will do for K3 and P3. 5. Study manuals to make sure you know how to cable everything up together. 6. Run K3 application and check status of firmware and update if needed, ditto for P3. After that, read the manual and learn all about the K3 and P3 and ask questions here on this forum if anything comes up. 73, phil, K7PEH > On Oct 22, 2024, at 1:11 PM, Richard Clemens <[email protected]> wrote: > > I recently acquired an Elecraft S3 radio #8179, panadaptor plus external > speaker from a SK. > > I need to come up to speed with the operation of the radio, features and what > modules are installed.
