Hi Klaus,
Did you check all cells separately to see if all of them are well charged?
It looks as if during startup the supply voltage drops to a level that
locks up the KX3. You could try to measure the battery voltage when
turning the KX3 on.

Hi
sometimes, not often, I had a problem to turn on my KX3.
Pushing - as usual - BAND & ATU/TUNE - the 3 LEDs flash on (TX, f and B) -
but if I release the BAND & ATU/TUNE buttons, the TRX remains so. No start.
I can now push any button, no reaction...

Just a report that I used the pre beta low bandwidth fsk software on both k3s
during the
WPX RTTY contest. Made over 1900 low power contacts, with no apparent problems
(As expected). As close as some stations felt comfortable operating next to
me, it looks
like it helps.
With the ever increasi
I have been tracking the recent comments on RX attentuation when the KPA500
goes from Standby to Operate as I am experiencing the same issue when on
80M. I can see the signal level difference displayed on my P3, and can hear
it as well. However, by contrast, I'm not really detecting it when on 40M.
Dave,
Since SW Broadcast signals are subject to fading, I would suggest you
add the KBPF3 to both the main and the subRX to give you the capability
of diversity reception. If you only want to purchase one, I suggest
that putting it in the main RX would make operation more straightforward

Hi All,
This month I am celebrating my fifth anniversary with my K3. It has performed
flawlessly over this time …without a hiccup. My K3 was purchased without the
KBPF3 option in 2008.
Like many of you, I started my radio adventures in 1962 at the age of 12 as an
avid SWL. I recently have bec
Last night I cleaned all mating metal surfaces in the P3 but, alas, this made
no difference. The noise was still at S6.
When I had the I/O printed circuit board out of the case, I noticed that the
earth planes for the power supply section and RS232 section are separated by a
zig zag gap. They ar

Hello!
This will probably be my final email update, since I leave next Monday, February 18.
I am really encouraged by the number of stations who have been expanding their 6m

Just a hunch, but if you have a KCR2, make sure it is powered if it is

Dave W8FGU, who's known by many Elecrafters for his
Plexiglas housings for the Elecraft Mini-Modules is looking
at making a Plexiglas protective front cover for the KX3.
It's a "natural" for Dave's fabrication skills.
Stay tuned for more information...

Doug,
When using the K3 Utility or any "terminal" program the K3 must be in
FSK-D. If you use AFSK you must use a sound card program.

The K3's internal encoder works in data modes FSK-D and PSK-D only. See K3
Utility Help, Terminal page, Data mode buttons:
Receive-only Text Decode is available in AFSK-A, but the KY command used for
transmit requires CW, FSK-D or PSK-D. If no characters are sent, or sending

Andy,
It all depends on the software application are you using for RTTY? You
are using MMTTY which displays the frequency the K2 is tuned to (without
the audio offset considered).
With the RTTY filters, just like the SSB filters, the K2 dial indicates
the suppressed carrier frequency, and yo
I am sorry to have bothered you good people. One uses FSK D not AFSK A
when using the internal facilities of the K3 to generate RTTY.

About a year ago when I was using my K3, K144XV and P3 combination I went
through most of the suggestions you have received . The noise floor was
reduced to almost satisfactory levels, but not quite.
