That would be good to have by mode & band.

I've been using a Station Master since soon after they were introduced
and I highly recommend it. It will do all kinds of switching jobs,
primarily for controlling antennas, but I think it also will control
your Quadra from a dedicated PA control port. I know it can control the
SteppIR by commu

I am wondering if the MicroHam station master or station master deluxe would
work. Any thoughts?

I thought the following observations may be of help to anyone having
difficulty achieving the KPA 100 resistance measurements on page 44 of Rev H
of the KPA 100 manual.
I initially performed the checks using a DMM with the PCB illuminated by a
40 Watt bench light a few inches away. Resistance va

Elecrafters,
a fellow ham kept telling me i am off frequency, so i performed the CAL

A 10m ssb qso with him showed that i now am within a few hz to his rx.
I then had a qso on 80m with a few SDR-guys. They told me i'm off about
100hz. I trust them. I don'
Thanks to all who contributed. Good suggestions.
I went to the website below, and it looks promising. There is a mention of

try this later.
In the meantime, I played with right clicking the QuickMix icon and click
Larry,
Is this antenna different from other bands or has it band specific
components?
It sounds like a set of dirty relay contacts or a bad joint. I've had
this on a few antenna switches. The xmit voltage is enough to punch
through but microvolts aren't.

It would make the maths even easier if one could set XVn IF to 10MHz (and
XVn RF to 0MHz), one could then use the K3 external 10MHz reference as the
Transverter Local oscillator
Last time I checked Wayne was working on the software to give the KX3 the
same xverter driving capabilities that the K3
Perhaps your problem is external to the K3. Are there any
normally-open relays between the K3 and the antenna?
I had this same issue happen to me several times in a December
contest. I suspected the problem may have been a dry circuit
issue in the AL-1500 T/R relay. Since then, there have

Good morning everyone from snowy, frigid Michigan...
I have K3 SN# 52XX and the receive seems to come and go on 30 mts - that's
where I notice it the most but it happens on other bands too.
My AGC settings are:
AGC DLY - NORM
AGC HLD - 0
AGC PLS - NORM
AGC SLP - 4

Wayne,
Great on the new NR adjustability - feature!
Please keep the NB on your list as well
As others have posted - it works great and is indesipensible for mobile
operation..
But - it also significantly degrades the opposite sideband rejection on CW
Can anyhting be done about that I wonde

Thanks Don,
Yes agreed I just advised was looking at two options.
I had already been sent an email asking was this limited to KX3 only?
The answer would be no hence the "dumb" option.
UK has 472KHz-479KHz available to full licencees with a Notice of
variation to the licence.
The option
The transverters may be "dumb", but the KX3 and the K3 both have the
"smarts" to display the output frequency - anywhere between 0 and 24999
MHz. Just use the XVn RF menu to set the low end of the transverter
output band.

Hi Dom, I suppose being an 'old boy' I've been used to transverters that are

Tim,
I see two main options...
1. Transverter is 'dumb' and is just there attached to the KX3 and no
controls (other than basic T/R) come from KX3 to Transverter and you
live with a display that is 'offset' by the IF.
or
2. Transverter works with the KX3 menus for Transverters (see the XV
