[Elecraft] K3S + P3 + SPE Amp
Gentlemen, My first post to the list , although an avid reader. Has anyone here done the connection of a K3S plus a P3 Panadaptor with the P3SVGA and Monitor functions , to a SPE 2K Amp? Is there special cabling? What Config Menu settings are used? The cable supplied with the Amp is a DB15M (amp end) to a DE9M (K3S end). I am using this in conjunction with the Elecraft Cable E980297 which is an RJ45 to DE9 Female. Config menu is set to RS232 at 9600 Baud , this works fine and the amp follows the K3S. However I lose the Frequency readout on the P3 by having to disconnect the CBLY3Y Y cable at the RJ45 connector on the back of the K3S. If I connect the DE9m of the supplied Amp cable to the DE9 of the "Y" cable , when plugged into the K3S , amp will not Band change from K3S. Is there another method of cabling so as One does not lose control of the P3?

[Elecraft] KX3
HI All I have a KX3, #262. I have an issue and I wonder if others have found the same, It's in relation to the ENCODER. There is a distinct noise as you turn the tuning knob and it is seems to be frequency sensitive. On the Bands from 1.8 to 10MHz there is No noise. On the Bands from 14 to 21MHz there is Light rasping noise. On the Bands 24MHz and 28MHz the noise Doubles to Medium. On the 50MHZ the rasping noise is double that on 28MHz and is Very annoying. The encoder I have in my KX3 is the one which is not soldered to the PC Board. Anyone else have these symptoms?

You'll have to unlock to do this. Dial up the VFO NR menu entry, then hold the KHZ key down until the lock icon disappears. Use VFO to change the setting from OFF to ON. Exit the menu. matt W6NIA On Tue, 23 Oct 2012 12:06:04 +1000, you wrote: HI All I have a KX3, #262. I have an issue and I wonder if others have found the same, It's in relation to the ENCODER.
