I concurr with Don on his analysis.
I have a 700hz and 200 hz filter and I use them quite a bit for PSK31.
If you try to use just the DSP to narrow down the bandwith it does not
work as well. I used to only have a 2.7 and 2.1 k hz filters and used
the DSP only. However after using th

it is adjustable from 13.5V

These are speced at 120 mV ripple noise. Is that high?

Don,
What is your specific problem? If it is strong signals within the

That is what the user settable base fan levels are for in the KPA500

It is not a good idea to just "remove the power" from the K3 - just like
a computer, it needs to power down gracefully and store some things for

on. To turn it off remotely, one can

Thanks, Alan.
The eHam link referenced in Win's post was for a unit not requiring a
computer at the operating position. I suppose that is for units that have
remote heads.
Perhaps Elecraft will consider a remote head for the K3 and/or other/future
rigs.

I think what you want is "port forwarding" to get through the router
firewall and specify the fixed IP address. In my Belkin router it is
