We may need to make a KX3 firmware change to achieve the desired behavior.
We'll be looking into it this coming week.

Hey Rich,
Problems like these can be very frustrating. Not lecturing to you, but take a
deep breath. You will get it going. I know the tendency is to throw the baby

Am I reading this correctly? You are driving an AL80B with the KXPA100
being driven by the KX3? That's quite imaginative if that's correct. The
SWR fault is coming from the AL80B input circuit not your antenna (the KXPA
can't see the SWR on the other side of the AL80B). probably something bad

I see what you mean. Are you sure the speed of the Client WK was the "default"
value? Another point maybe that I have set for autospace, although I dont think
that is the problem. What was the keying speed of each of the WKs with the case
you present?
All I can say that here it works real
Someone has to be first to be willing to spend thousands to see if it's the
next great transceiver.

For those who have expressed interest in purchasing one, you will be

Your post was the first I'd heard of the Sienna
(I've been pretty inactive for a while), Tom, so I
checked for reviews and also went to their
website. What I found was:
* No QST nor other review with a detailed
technical assessment (it's possible I just
didn't find it)
* Seven reviews
One way to understand the difference is to take a look at

I have and use the W2. It is fed by coax as follows:
K3-KPA500-KAT500-W2-Antenna. It works great giving me a closer
approximation of what the antenna looks like before it gets tuned by the
KAT500.

It is true that the WK in remote configuration does decode the padle input and
hence cannot send a character before it is finished. But this does NOT lead to
