The main changes are:
* Can now use Fldigi as a datamodes engine, controlled through KComm

* Can use MRP40 Morse decoder;
* Built-in support to use Griffin PowerMate USB knob;

I would first look at the bandpass filter - on 20 meters, capacitors C28
and C29 and trimmers C21 and C23. The symptoms sound like a bad solder
connection.
For the 17 meter problem, check trimmer capacitors C32 and C34. If that
does not produce results, then check the VFO frequency

SignaLink for the K3 comes with an 8 pin mic connector for front panel
connection between the radio and the SignaLink. However, there is no receive
audio at the front panel mic connector, right? Thus, no waterfall.

sequence with the ATU with using the latest firmware?

You are correct, there is no receive audio at the microphone connector,

You can use audio from the rear panel - use a stereo cable (even if the

Make sure you have the wider xtal filters ebabled for CW mode too. Otherwise

To take advantage of the Signalink's onboard sound card connect the K3
line out to the Signalink AUX port. The Signalink will send the audio

We had a very short SSB net today (1800Z) on 14.316 MHz. The signal levels
were way down and attendance was too. Perhaps it was propagation, coupled
with the VHS contest (I know I have been enjoying working new grids on 6
meters with the K3) and general summertime lulls. We had 10 participants
I constructed the kat1 for my k1. I noticed that they did not include a 100 pf

if this was a packing mistake or a substitution of different value. Any ideas?
Thanks.

I'm normally on CW, and the only SSB activity here is in contests, when I use
headphones and the attached boom mic. I thought I would try 6M in the VHF
contest today, and plugged in a hand mic. The blast of feedback reminded me to
turn off the monitor. But there isn't a button for that - as

That capacitor must be 100 pf. I am not certain about the extra .001
uF, an extra does get packaged once in a while.
Look for the 100 pF (the current ones have short leads) sticking to
something in the kit (if there is any tape, look there first). If it
does not readily show itself, send

An AM station can easily produce buckshot to 40-50 kcs's out. The
reason you don't hear it very often in the US, is that on the standard
AM band, the AM stations are very bandwidth limited. The NRSC curve is
rather tight, and every AM station has to certify it is within that mask
every 14
Thanks for the tip. I disconnected the LP-Pan and didn't notice any
difference in the buckshot level. I really can't judge what the S meter is
telling me due to QRN etc. but when ATT is engaged, the QRN drops down
somewhat but the buckshot actually comes through more clearly.

Guess it was a non issue... R91 was already 22ohms on my board so the
answer to this question is YES you can have that resistor at 22 ohms
sans sub receiver.

I would be checking your system (including the antenna and

A quick look shows as expected behavior. It seems to switch
modes exactly like the FT-1000D/FT-1000MP now and CW in SSB
works just like the FT-2000. Those who are used to the mode
switching behavior of the Yaesu rigs should be right at home
with this change.
