Some CAT commands cannot be safely sent to the K3 while it's in BSET

I found that the K3, as built, was a bit better on 6 meters than either my Pro
III or TS-2000x. (A/B/C switching) I've since sold both of those radios. I
bought a 6 meter preamp from High Sierra Microwave. It has about the same specs
as the ARR P50VDG mentioned on here and the Elecraft offering.
Found the answer in the archives.
Thanks.

On a similar note, how do I directly enter a VFO B frequency?(No KRX3)

This is a major release. Some recent changes have had only limited

Andrew,
If you cannot get at least 10 watts out of the base K2 over all the 160
meter band you have a problem in either the 160/80 meter bandpass filter
or the 160m low pass filter. I encourage you to look there first.
You will likely have to compromise the bandpass filter settings between

Franki,
Were you able to fix your SSB audio problem?
One area you might want to check is what you have the SSB filter offset
set for. If you have the 2.8 kHz filter, this offset should be zero. If
it is the 2.7 kHz filter, this offset is usually in the -0.80 to -.90 ,
with most set for -.85.

Don't even breathe that idea.

Hi Bill. I don't have the KAT100, but those values look typical for
antenna tuners that are internal to a rig. Because of size constraints,
they tend to be a bit lossier than external tuners, although all tuners

Yes of course it is possible. The K3 may object to there being two 50MHz
bands but you can always call it something else to get around that. The K3
has no idea what the transverter frequency is besides what you tell it.
The performance will probably be worse, for exactly the same reasons the K3

Is it possible to use the K3 with the Elecraft XV50 transverter? If
so, how does the performance of the K3's receiver on 6m compare with
a K3 using the new PR6 pre-amplifier?
