You're right David, I'd like to listen on VFO B and transmit on VFO A. I

you really need the antenna tuned for the transmit frequency.

hi all,
has anybody connected a Ptc-2 to the K3 and how this was done?
I think I could use Line in / Line out and PTT in.
Line is stereo, should I use the tip? or connect tip and ring?

My favourite subject! There is currently an issue between the SCS Pactor

How can i save the filter selection fl2 for ssb?
I have firmware 2.02.

After changing the mode Fl2 is not selectable.

Yes, that certainly sounds like strange behavior. Your tuner and
antenna do work on 30 meters because your 4 band board works OK with
them, so they are not the likely cause of your failure.
I can guess that the 'light display/relay chatter' symptom is a result

Me too, but I realized that the K3 draws somewhat more current than the

Two questions for the group because I cannot find the answers in the manual (I

calibrations or memory presets?

Michael,
I don't believe your results are a lot out of line, but neither can I
say that they are normal.
The diodes used in the wattmeter can have a frequency dependency - that
will be true for both the KAT2 and the OHR WM-2. If the frequency
dependency of the KAT2 is opposite that if the OHR

Kent, you do not specifically need to save any parameters although the
update tool has that facility and it's always worth saving them as it
may avoid you re-calibrating the K3 at some stage. It is important to
tick the always load DSP data tables otherwise the DSP might get
itself in a mess.
Regarding CONFIG AGC SLP, page 50 of the manual:
Higher values result in 'flatter' AGC (making signals at all
amplitudes closer in AF output level).
I use the highest value, 15.
