Hi All,
I have a KFL3A-2.7K Filter for sale. All my main and sub receiver filter

Contact me off-list and make me an offer if you're interested.
Thanks and good
The weekly Elecraft SSB net usually meets on Sundays at 1800Z on 14.3035 MHz

Well, I guess it is new to me. I did not know it was used so long ago.
Why not 8 tonesbecause I have trouble decoding 2 in my head.
I hope everyone enjoyed the diversion. I figured that this group, being a

1 A via out put on the main k3 or a way to integrate the k3 lcd out into the p3

2 Voice button feed back like the smaller kx3 has.
3 an rather net jack for direct internet remote control.

I've modified the K3 software to allow use of the FM filter for ESSB
transmit. (The current beta release, 4.58, already allows AM transmit
with the FM filter.)
The AM filter (6 kHz BW) is still a much better choice for AM and ESSB
receive, because it provides better close-in dynamic range. B

Yep...the culprit is the logging program but not just N1MMLogger32

The FR0 command is what rese
I've confirmed the K3 operates as advertised when you change bands using the
Band up/down button. Changing bands from N1MM resets the split.
I've posted a query on the N1MM reflector and asked for a software
modification which I rather suspect could impact any radio unless the code
only resets
That sort of integration is not implemented yet, but AUXBUS
communication will allow for it, so expect to see something along the
lines of what you describe in future firmware releases (both KAT500
and K3).

This is funny because I just posted the same thing. However, all I do is

Just wondering if the K3 and KAT500 are capable of fully automatic TUNE

What I mean is, is there any way you can just push the TUNE button on the

have the KAT500 tune the antenna, and then have the K3 AUTO
