Hi Wayne I'll second that. Dave G4AON kindly sent me an old version of the firmware so that AM would work again. For the K3 to be viable as an AM TX it needs to behave the same way as a boat anchor rig. My KW Vanguard uses two 6L6s to modulate a 6146B. The modulation is excellent. My 706MK11 does a very good job on AM also.
Whilst looking at this, could you look again at the FM transmit, which sounds woefully thin compared to my rice boxes set on FM narrow. The audio has no body and tends to sound snatchy on peaks. No complaints whatsoever about RX in either mode. Be nice to get the Synchronous AM after playing with Dave's Perseus over the internet. 73 John Petters Amateur Raduio Station G3YPZ www.traditional-jazz.com Randy Downs wrote: Speaking of AM, how is everyone setting the K3 up for AM now? I used to have good luck with it many Firmware updates ago. The last time I tried it, several upgrades ago, I was not pleased with it on tx.
