Hello Elecrafters
After a 10 days trip i turned on my K3 and it was blocked. No buttons
working, no rx, nothing. Only the displays were working, on the lcd the msg:
VOX=OFF and a continuous beep.
So after a few turn on/off i decided go to EEINT (reset the radio).
Well after that i opened the K3
Anyone knows if the Serial to Serial cable from FT-2000 would work w/ the k3?
Tnx again

Good morning. I have a K3 with a P3 and all the fixins. I have had the radio
since before Christmas. Love it. Great product and great company. I recently
installed the DX engineering bidirectional Beverage systems. I have been
using them in conjunction with the K3 and a Hustler 6BTV and a couple
I think I have seen this some where but can't seem to locate it now, and
I can't seem to make the archive search distinguish between AM and
am so I need some help.
I'm looking for the K3 TX setup procedure for AM and would appreciate
any recommendations regarding menu or control settings for
The measurement is quite accurate, and the ADC reference is OK. Sorry I didn't
point that out originally. I did get some data from Gary, which shows that his
K3 current meter is much more accurate than mine.
The meter accuracy itself isn't really important, but the error may be limiting
It should work fine. I replace my TS570 with a K3 and used the same
serial cable.

I'm not so sure... My FT-1000 MP Cat connection has a male DB9 connection,
and the K3 has a female connection. If the MP's convention is standard for
Yaesu rigs, then the FT2000 cord will not work. Serial cord connections on
PC's are male. The K3 requires a cord with male on one end and female

Others opinions may vary, but here is my experience - a K2 works well without
DSP.
Yes you already likely heard a base K2 is all analog. But note that is has
this
feature - the xtal filter bandwidth is programmable. I literally have mine set

Thanks to those who responded to my post regarding power-off loss of
stored hold function on FN7 with v1.05 P3 firmware. A parametric
reset solved the problem. For the record, the event occurred when
powering off from the P3 alone or by using the K3.

Or alternatively, the DXE preamp manual outlines a number of simple mods to
reduce gain.

Greetings;
I'm looking to purchase a clean K2/100. The following options are preferred,
but not necessary:
KNB2 (noise blanker)
KAF2 (audio filter/clock)
KSB2 (SSB option)
FDIMP (finger dimple)
Only interested in a rig that is fully functional, meaning full power out on
all bands, no alignment

OK, yes, My TS-570 has a gender changer mounted on it's rear RS232
port. My main response was to the fact that the wiring is the same,
and I didn't consider gender. However, the cable I used for the 570
is the same cable I use for the K3, minus the gender changer.

Some months back Wayne posted details of how the external reference locking
would work for the K3, and I recollect that field test was imminent. Since
then it has been very quiet. Having just finished GPS locking my 23cm
transverter it would be nice to get the K3 tied into the system too.
Hi John,
The design of the K3EXREF module is finished, and it works very well.
We're getting ready to send some out for field test.
We'll announce the price and shipping information soon.

I can share my recent experience in the ARRL CW DX contest.
I have a K2/100 with no additional filtering (i.e., no KAF2 or KDSP2). I
had
the variable bandwidth crystal filter set to 1000 Hz, 500 Hz, 300 Hz, and
150 Hz.
I ran most of the contest set to 150 Hz.
There were a few times when I felt

It's also a good idea to re-tighten to screws periodically but not to over
tighten them.

FYI,
I have a K3 without the KUSB option installed. I have a cheap USB to Serial
adapter that I need for my PC that doesn't have a serial port.
I got curious about using PSK-31 with a waterfall display, so I used the
adapter between the PC and the K3. Using HRD Beta version 5, I had Tx/Rx
Bruce,
Yes that is a good reminder - also note that it should be re-done if you
change the thermal pads.
For anyone who has had a KPA100 built for them, it might be a bit
intimidating at first to get to the screws. For anyone in that
position, send me an email, and I will send you the
Ken,
While that is a good idea, I have never found it to be necessary. I
check on all the K2/100s that I repair.
Once the pads have settled in, they do not compress any further.

Route the ribbon cable (and the speaker cable) toward the front. It
should exit the shield running straight out. If it does not fit that
way, swap ends.
Swap ends! What a concept! Of course, that made a huge difference
in routing the cable directly and _easily_ straight toward the

Good information on your blog. For additional information on setting
the K2 filters and the dial calibration, I refer you to the K2 Dial
Calibration article on my website. Yes, once set the K2 filters will
stay put. There is no need for continual filter changes unless the K2
