George,
What K3 jack are you connecting the amp to? You should be connecting to

could understand that you might have difficulties like you describe.

I have for sale a K2 (s/n 3935) plus a KPA-100 / KAT-100 (separate EC2

built by long time experienced kit builder and home-brew specialist. No

better than all published K2 / KPA100 specifications. No dents, dings,

I've implemented a moving average algorithm that adds a tremendous amount of
realism to the meter. HUGE difference. Also converted to the SM; command to
avoid truncation with CWT enabled.

I was using the internal wattmeter in the K3. I don't have an external
wattmeter. I hooked the radio up to an oscilloscope today and the power maxes
out between the 60 and 70 watt setting. The scope is an old Tektronix 422 and
the absolute measurements probably aren't that accurate, but the
Not to discourage innovation, but I ran the program and as expected it did
only the meter on the radio already does.
I have spent too many years working with computers to think anything is neat
just because it is done on the computer.
Personally I will not use it, as I don't want to have to start

Yes. I lack the graphics skills to make the one in KComm look as nice, but
as both programs can be run together there is no need for me to anyway. If
you want a nice looking S meter use this one.
If you use the Virtual Seri
Agreed
A calibrated S meter could be useful tool in many other ways.
- Measuring field strength and patterns of antennas.
- Reporting on things like BPL and other radiated and conducted
measurements that seem to be a daily threat on HF. Just knowing they close
to S9 plus plus minus 20 db
Nice work, David!

called for in the manual.

Measuring the voltage at Junction of C77 & R11 I get 74.1 volts which is not

Rod (G3YHM) posted a message proposing a change to 3720 KHz to reduce
continental QRM. Can I have the views of others as it makes no
difference to me what the frequency is.
The original frequency of 3630 KHz was chosen so that we might have been
able to run wider bandwidth modes such as AM and
Runs good thanks.

We managed without too much continental QRM this week.
Topics were:
Memory (band switching) use with the latest firmware.
LP-100 power meters (several stations on the net are now using them)
IF shift when reducing bandwidth on SSB. Suggestion that the centre
frequency should be 1.35 KHz not 1.5
Dave
Thanks for running the Net every Sunday.
I would like to propose a change of frequency for the net.
Down here on the south coast I am clobbered badly by continental QRM.
Can we try around 3.720Mhz, Normally it is much clearer of the continental
traffic.
