GM0LEP,
Thanks for that I have run out of time as I am due to go away to work for 6
weeks or so.
I will check that the PTT line is working and may try another radio as a
driver also.
Will keep all posted later on here.
thanks

Strange issue and haven't found much by searching.
I use a MacBook Pro with my K3 and KX3. It had worked fine for rig
control and with the K3/P3/KPA utilities. I added an iMic audio
interface (bought it for the iPad and was experimenting) and setup
CocoaModem for use with the KX3 to do
I should have added that when the shack MBP is connected to the K3 and I
attempt rig control using RUMLog, it communicates with the K3 and
receives info such as freq even though it's in TX. So there's
communication there, I just can't stop the TX.

Check your menu CONFIG: PTT-KEY entry. Set it to OFF-OFF and see if the
problem stops.
Something in your computer setup is probably activating either RTS or
DTR or both.

Thanks to all for the suggestions…
I ended up using a plastic drafting isosceles triangle and attaching it via
electrical tape to keep the antenna upright. Here is a picture….

We’ll see how satisfied I am with that.

Bingo! That was it. It was set to rts-dtr from some previous digital
mode play which oddly hadn't interfered with K3 control the last time I
used the radio.
Thanks for the quick help.

Your of indication is a valid measurement - therefore it is a reading
It is a higher resistance than the range your meter is set to - switch

Once your range is above 100k, if it still indicates of, you know that

Absolutely no sign of it here. My firmware is 4.67 which is almost the

Hi everyone, I am considering selling my K3/100, SN 4313, all current updates,
factory built, aligned and tweaked in April 2013 (when I had 2 meters
added)-has the following: K144XV, KXV3A, KFL3B-FM board, KAT3F Tuner, KBPF3 K3
general coverage module, K3 6hz 8 pole filter, KFL3A 2.8 hz
And I’ll add my input. Been using the latest firmware and it has worked
perfectly. Been too busy operating to say much. No false tunes, and the
KAT500 tracking of the K3 is outstanding.

I'm still getting 600mV and LowP during the tune, so it looks like I'll be

I already have an Elecraft cable between my K3's ACC plug and my KAT500.
I'm looking for recommendations how I can hook up my PR6-10 to that
cable. It's not like some cables that have ends that will unscrew. I am
reluctant to replace it as it has been rfi proof and has the tubular

Sam,
You need a Y cable. Make certain it has all 15 wires connected
'straight through'. A VGA Y cable will have several pins connected
together and will not work - it may even create 'strange happenings'.
If you ordered the KPAK3AUX Cable Set, you have the Y cable that was
part of that
Jeremy,
Remove the tuner and you will not be bothered with the LowP messages.
In fact when testing the base K2, you should remove the tuner and
operate the basic K2 into a dummy load.
Where are you measuring 600mV? That is one problem with replying using

I posted this query over on the NaP3 Yahoo group, but haven't gotten a lot of

No reason not to put the P3 on top of the K3 and that is what I presently
do in my SO2R station. This keeps everything compact, in easy reach, with
minimal hand and eye movement which I appreciate for contesting. I have a
long shelf supported by 2x4s on edge. The keys and SO2R Box fit nicely

On the ohmmeter range, for the most accurate reading, use the scale that
is just above the resistance value you are expecting. In other words,
if you are expecting greater than 10k ohms, use the 20k scale.
or if you are expecting less than 1k, use the 2k range.

Tom,
The fact that pins 6, 7, and 8 are designated as 'ground' indicates to
me that this is a VGA cable and those pins will be connected together.
You need a cable that is wired with all 15 pins independent of each
