Any or all of the above - several people have suggested good ideas.
The strongest possibilities are a loose TMP connector or a multi-way
connector that needs re-seating. Since the faulty connection is right
on the edge between working and not working, even a very gentle tug on

Thanks for the info! Got both manuals, and must have missed that... :)

I am still a little confused on the diagram in KE7X's KX3 book about hooking up
the KX3, K3, KPA500, and KAT500. My question regard the hookup diagram, figure
9.17, on page 147 on the KE7X KX3 book.
Confusion is about keyline hookup. The diagram shows that both the K3 and
Phil,
You need to put the Keyline Interrupter on the K3 ACC connector, then
use the RCA cable from the K3 KEYOUT jack to the KPA500.
If you ordered the KPAK3AUX cable set, you have (or had) the Key Line
Interrupter. See
Don,
Thanks. Clears everything up. I did find the key line interrupter. I had it
in my Elecraft parts bin not knowing what to do with it when I got it. Now I
know.

I’m an organist. Years ago I played an instrument with a substantial
separation from the pipes to the console in a very reverberant space — so much
so that you had to just “play the notes” and hope for the best. If you tried
to listen to the delayed sounds of the pipes and play at the same
Some follow-up questions:
OK, I have the KX3 and K3 configured with the KPA500 and KAT500. Everything
seems to work with one little exception.
The exception:
--- initial conditions, K3 is on and switched to use the KPA500 and KAT500.
KX3 is off.
--- using K3 and so on works fine
Phil,
Let me get this straight - the KPA500 is communicating with the K3, then
you switch to the KX3 and the KPA500 does not talk with the KX3.
If that is what is happening, I would expect that to be the case. The
communications with the K3 is not synchronized with the attempted
Hi to the group
I was in the W1AW/0 event from North Dakota and the NDQP event for about 12
operating hours over the last 4 days. My modes were RTTY at 80 watts and PSK31
at 30 watts. I quickly learned when I was getting ready that these modes caused
the equipment to heat up too much. I found
So, is this normal behavior? I wasn't expecting any kind of comms between the
K3 and the KPA500 that affects the STBY/OPER switching. It does seem that a
power on/off cycle for the KPA500 is required to enable that switch.
Is this designed to work this way or is this a flaw in the design or
Phil,
I think you may be expecting too much.
Consider a parallel - a computer communicating with a printer. If you
suddenly switch the printer cable to another computer, would you expect
the printer to continue printing without any intervention?
The printer in this comparison is the KPA500
I remember a while back I was asking the same question about using my K2
and KX3 with my KPA500/KAT500 combo, and Eric responded that the KPAK3AUX
Optional KPA500 to K3 AUX Cable Set cable should be left disconnected when
using another rig besides the K3.
I was debating on using a DB-15 data
Don,
OK, I may be expecting too much. Actually, I am not sure if I was expecting as
much as I was a little bit surprised by the behavior. I didn't think that the
KPA500 and KX3 communicated with each other other than RF and Key line but
maybe that was enough of a difference from the K3. The

I got my KX3 and KPA100 this past February and have a lot of fun so far with

satisfactory RMS Express performance using both Pactor 3 and Winmor.

Adrien,
I am confused by your statement that you see AUDIO A on the LCD.
There is no AUDIO A mode and no characters on the LCD indicate that
information. Yes, there is a DATA A Data sub-mode that should be
selected for soundcard data modes (except for RTTY where AFSK A
provides added
Hi Keith,
I recently noticed something odd with my KX3. I thought that the RX EQ
feature was inhibited in DATA-A mode, but it seems that it cannot be
adjusted but is still applied. If I set the RX EQ in USB mode, I can
still see the adjusted response in DATA-A mode, but I cannot adjust it

Are the mic gain settings per-mode? Might check the levels in the two modes.

Don,
My error I apologize, AUDIO A should be read as DATA A in my
original post. My concern was the transmission mode used by the KX3
once FLDIG triggered a data transmission as it does not seem to stay
in DATA A mode anymore, I will dig inside the Hamlib ... :-) Thank
you your answers.
73,
Keith,
DATA A mode is exactly like SSB except that it automatically turns off
compression and the TX EQ.
So I would suspect that your problems have more to do with your software
application and the commands it sends to the K3 than anything else. If
your application is switching the KX3 to
I just downloaded and installed WSPR and WSJT-X to run on my KX3. Both
work fine except that CAT control fails with WSPR. Both programs TX and
RX just fine using VOX for PTT. No change in the hardware setup -- I
quit WSJT-X and started WSPR. Tried it several times.
Both programs also work
You might want to try using RigCAT instead of HamLib - choose K3 if KX3
is not available.
The only function necessary is PTT keying and the proper display of
frequency on the waterfall.

I've decided that there's too little 222 MHz activity in this area, so
I'd like to sell my XV222 transverter kit and crystal oven.
Everything is as it arrived on my doorstep. Everything is still packaged.
Together, the two items would cost $450. I'll sell it for $400, shipped
and insured.
Consider disconnecting the RS-232 connection and leaving the
audio connection. Then use VOX to key the transmitter. If that
leaves the mode unchanged, then something from HamLib is
changing the settings on the KX3.

There appears to be some misconceptions in this discussion. First, the
information flow from the K3 to the KPA only occurs on the band lines and the
key line. Auxbus communications is one-way, from the KPA to the K3. The KPA
does not listen on the Auxbus.
There is also something else going on
Jack,
Thanks for the detailed explanation. So, if the K3 pulls the keyline to ground
and the STBY/OPER switch is inoperative as a result, then why would power cycle
on KPA500 change things. I mean, I assume that the keyline is still pulled to
ground by the K3. But, I admit that I am not an
