I'm not quite understanding why VMWare would be useless in this instance.
If you are using a serial USB device, you get to choose whether to present that
device to the host OS (the mac) or to the guest OS (the instance of windows in

Thanks for the great response to my listing. The radio has tentatively been
sold. If that changes, I will contact those who showed interest in order of
the time and date their e-mails were received.

This unit is equipped with a KAT2 tuner and a KNB2 noise blanker. It is
configured for the KSB2 option, but the KSB2 is not present.
It is perfect operating condition, and is aligned quite well. The front plate
is clean, with a few small scratches on the left side.

Hi Mike,
Think of the leg of the Y cable that goes to the K3 as the Elecraft leg.
Take the cable that now goes to the K3 and move it to the P3. Then take the
short serial cable supplied with the P3 and connect it between the P3 and
the K3.

Pelican's foam inserts have pick&pluck precut foam which allows you to shape
the middle section of foam to the device you're storing in it. Using your
fingers you can easily remove the precut squares of foam until the entire
cutout closely matches the shape of your radio including the knobs.

I purchased with my K2 in November 2011. I am currently completing the

Fred,
Look carefully, that new manual does not match your KSB2. Yours has an
SSM2165 Speech Compressor and the new one uses an SSM2166 - the added
resistors support that new IC.
As far as the extra 10k resistor, one is supplied with every KSB2 for
use as a bias resistor if needed. It is list

Hi folks,
For years, I have worked portable with an inverted-vee as a multiband antenna
and a ladder line feeder. With the KX1 internal tuner, the T1 or a LDG Z-817,
once tuned in a band, I did not have to re-tune as long as I stayed in that
band.
However, with the KXAT3 and with the same ante
Thanks, Mike.
Just to make sure my age fuzzed brain got it:
The "Y" stays where it is, plugged into the K3. The cable from the
computer moves from that to the P3, then the shorty goes from the P3 to
the "Y".

Mike,
That will work ONLY if the SteppIR can listen in on 38400 bps traffic.
If it needs any other speed, then you must put the "Y" on the P3.
Check the data speeds that the SteppIR will handle.

Hi Mike,
That is not correct. Please reread my response. Keep in mind that the P3 has
two RS232 ports on it. One port from the computer and one port to the K3.
If you wait until you get the P3 and its manual in your hands you'll see
that it is really quite simple. Everything you need is contained

It should work either way, but it would be better to put the SteppIR "Y"

Pierre,
When you "bypass" the tuner, it is taken out of the circuit (well
almost) - sort of like no tuner at all.
You would only want to set the tuner to bypass if you have resonant
antennas or you are working into a dummy load.

Hi John,
I noticed the same thing on my radio. I assigned the "AFX MD" menu item to my
PF1 key so I can easily change between delay, pitch, and turn it off (and PF2
key is for dual watch).
Hopefully it will be fixed in an upcoming release, but I consider it a minor
bug only.
