Hi -
We switched to K3's for our contest station FY5KE, in replacements of
our 20-year old Kenwood TS-850. We are now getting ready our equipment
for the coming contest season. So far so good, we are quite happy with
the K3 which is really a great radio. There is only one detail I would
like
What about using a macro that would issue an A/B and a split off. Use
another macro that would issue an A/B and a split on.

Dave and all,
10 opened later in the day last Saturday here in Tennessee. EU was very strong
at times. Considering I was running QRP in IARU, I was tickled that most of my
DX QSOs were made one call no repeats.
The antenna was better than some, but not a monster stack, just a 4 element

How many of us that work QRP or even QRO for that matter, have had a station
jump right on top of us because, they couldn't hear our signal? It has
happened to me as I'm sure to many others. I was just thinking about this and
I think I have come up with a solution. We all know that the antenn

Hi Brian,
Is there a mono option? That is where the sub and main rx audio
appears in both ears?
Not at present, but it's on the list.
If no antenna tuner, must one install the BNC connector?
No. Use of the sub receiver's aux RF input is optional. We'll clarify
this in the assembly manua

It really drops off there and I can only pick up a couple of really
strong
stations below that. I did install the KBF3. Does that attenuate the BC
band?
I did make sure the ATU was in bypass.

Hi Ken (and Bill),
Quantizing the VFO in COARSE mode is on the list for a future firmware
revision. This will eliminate the offset you described.

I have noticed what you describe below with all versions of firmware.
I have verified that it occurs both on transmit and receive.

i guess using the bnc on sub rx is the easy/best way for me to

Hi All,
Scott (WU2X) and I did a short video last night showing the basics of
his version of PowerSDR and the K3 as a high resolution 192khz
panadapter.
This will be the beginning of a series that we will put together as
the project matures.

I bought an ARR preamp several years ago when I was living in
Chicago. I patched it into the external antenna "insert" loop and it
works well.

Thanks Jim
I've heard good things about their products.
Glad yours is working well.
I'm going to try patching in my Ameco PT-2
preamp, just as an experiment. I'll probably go
ahead and build my little J310 preamp though.

I'd like to figure out how to get on RTTY by noon tomorrow. I'm working
with N1MM and MMTTY at the moment, with HRD and my trusty paddle as 2nd
and 3rd back-ups.

It looks like the K3 gives the option of having RTS or DTR actuate the
PTT. MMTTY seems to use both, with no c

Hi Bob-
No, I had not tried that. It was at zero. I cranked it up to 25 and
still no luck. Did some searches in the nabble archives and saw that it
might need to be higher yet. So I went to 50 and now it keys the VOX.
I have line in mic gain at about 20. Thanks for the suggestion.

Something to keep in mind, there is gigantic difference in the BCB
performance on my K3 depending on what antenna I have it connected to and
the results are counterintuitive. On a BCB station I am listening to at 790

MMTTY is pretty primative in this regard. It demands a serial port
dedicated ONLY to control of the radio, and a second port for PTT.

Hello Nick
I used to run MMTTY and now run a dedicated external modem and also HRD.
However, I did re-install MMTTY to test it for you. The settings are:
Normal serial cable to K3 (as used for firmware updates, etc.), no
settings for PTT in the K3 menu (PTT-KEY OFF-OFF). I am using DTR/RTS

I have a serial handheld programming cable that has a DB9 socket on
the end and no PC with a serial connector.
I'm wondering if the KUSB will work, they mate ok.

How do you tune the ATU optimally for BCB, since you can't transmit?

There are a couple of tips with regard to using the K3 on data modes:
1. The K3 understands Kenwood "TX/RX" commands via the normal RS232
serial lead, so in many cases you don't need a dedicated PTT lead for
data (works in HRD/DM780 and MMTTY, not sure about others).
2. If you use Data A
