Try reversing your DMM probes and see if that makes any difference.
My immediate reaction is to say that you may have soldering connections
that are not good. Inspect the soldering with a critical eye. Any
joints where the solder did not flow completely out onto the solder pad
are sus
Here's another approach to using APF on weak signals in an uncrowded band.
- Turn on NR set to 5m3. You can play with this but 5m3 seems to work
best here.
- Set the DSP bandwidth to 1 KHz. This is a good way to search for
weak signals you can't hear otherwise. The combination of NR and DSP
I use 440 Hz and the APF almost full time, particularly for weak signal
work.

Good evening all, just making my way through the K2 build and had was wondering
about some resistance check results. On R115 and U1 pins 4,9,10,28 I am getting
readings in the range of 3.9 mega ohms to 5.4 mega ohms. The results sheet
advise of results in and around 20k. In the past I have found
I work mostly CW weak signal and have not heard ringing with the K3 ..
Now I will say if you have your tones "CW Pitch" set at 800 Hz + or - it
may sound like ringing to you , you might try lowering the CW Pitch say
around 600 Hz or even lower

I should have mentioned that APF is set the way it's set. I don't
believe any parameters exist to change APF's operation. Someone may
correct me on this.
APF is best used with a narrow bandwidth setting. I think I saw the
figure 30 Hz (for -6dB points) used in conjunction with APF, so a 50

Best used when copy any other way is impossible due to a weak signal.
Ringing is somewhat better than noise, isn't it?
I've found APF useful in a number of QRP events, when handling weak
signals is the order of the day. Yes - copy may be dificult but at
least you have something to work with. APF

As a 98% cw operator, I've explored the various K3 weak signal features.
I tend to shy away from the APF because its ringing seems to my ears to
be counter productive. Any advice/experience on how to set up and use
this feature for best results? Thanks.

Congrats to the VK9NT team. I thought I would try this and I used the KX3
at 0.1W into a G5RV antenna over a distance of 1700 miles on 28.495.00 and
although I could not get a genuine 59 signal on phone I was able to make a
good contact and the vk9nt operator confirmed the contact and stated no

That is fantastic! Congrats!!

I just received my Pignology remote tuning knob for my K3 this week. I
am very happy with it and looking forward to
using it for contest. Nick from Pignology has been great to work with.
