better reception under noisy conditions by going into "SX-101 mode," turning
the AF gain all the way up and riding the RF gain with your left hand. This

You don't need to do anything to send K3 commands with the P3 still
connected. The P3 relays the K3 commands straight on through. K3
Utility "thinks" it is connected directly to the K3.
You may be thinking of older versions of P3 firmware where you had to
turn off the P3 when downloading K3 firm
The fan speeds are designed to minimize heat-related stress to the
transistors. Personally I like not having to worry whether I have
toasted my final transistors because I may have inadvertently changed
some option for "designer" fan noise levels.

I just got around to updating the firmware from 1.00 to 1.05 on my P3.
Unless I am dreaming, in 1.00 I was able to see upper and lower frequencies

Might also want to try Line In as a source to see if it works.
This might isolate the mic itself or the mic input circuit as the
problem.

Yes, it certainly IS that simple.
I remember the old radios well. They never had the "problem". They
didn't have enough gain to have the "problem". Nor was it possible to
have the AGC recover in such a short interval that the noise sounded
as if it were the same level as the desired signal, eve
Hi
I see this too sometimes when I turn the K3 on which automatically turns on
the P3. I don't see the frequencies or filter brackets.
Changing bands or modes usually gets the P3 displaying the data.

KAT500 will handle 500w at large SWRs up through 6M. It looks likely it
will even handle 3:1 at 1500W.
It also will seamlessly integrate with the K3 and KPA500, plus work with
other rigs.
Stay tuned!

Hi Roger,
What microphone are you using? If it is a MH2, it requires Bias to be
turned on in the K3 menu.
Also, what are your mic gain and compression settings?
You can also switch the source for K3 mic audio between the front panel
and the rear panel in the K3 menu.

My K3 does not work on SSB. All other modes work just fine. I downloaded
latest firmware thinking it might help but with the mic connected to front
jack and/or a headset connected to rear jack neither one of them work. With
key on mic it does transmit but no audio comes through. Any ideas before
Upgrade the firmware in your P3 which will allow you to access either
without changing connections.

Have a K3 & KUSB with the P3. It appears that if I want to connect to
my PC and run the K3 utility I must disconnect the P3 during this
process. Curious if there are other ways to enable both.

The fans that cool the K3's 100-watt amplifier are thermostatically controlled.
All thermostats have a temperature spread so that they do not cycle on and off
constantly; for example, a thermostat might be set to turn on a cooling fan at
38 and off at 35.
I would like to suggest that consideratio
