As most know with Gmail, I get zero spam. It is so good, I moved all my

I actually spoke to Fred over at Dayton. He was right next to the Elecraft

The KXPA100 can be driven from most any QRP rig, so the answer is
definitely 'Yes'.
Right now there is not a cable to fully integrate the K3 and the
KXPA100, but my guess is that there may be in the future.
In the meantime, the KXPA100 can be used in its RF sensing mode with

When do you need the heatsink? Is this primarily for DATA modes?
I use my KX3 at 10 watts when in the shack and I use it portable at 5 watts or
10 watts when I carry along my external Li battery packs.

If you have 64-bit linux mint, you need the 32-bit version of the libraries

Joe,
Since the call is both sent and logged without the /, I would believe

do with the KX3.
Check the N1MM documentation (or ask on the N1MM forum) to see if the

When you switch bands on the K3, is Band Data available to the user ?
Is that data written down anywhere, that I can get to ?
Reason I ask, is I want to investigate building an interface between the K3
and the SPE 1.3K-FA Amp to facilitate automatic bandswitching on the Amp.
73, Dick, W1KSZ
I have an SPE 1K-FA and my K3 switches bands with no mods, just a cord. The
band data is available on the 15 pin D Shell connector on the back. My
TS-480SAT has some issues but does most of the functions. I don't know, but
suspect that the 1.3K works like the 1K.

From the specs in back of manual (p. 52):
8 V min, 15 V max. 1 to 2 A typical in transmit;
150 mA minimum receive, typical

I'd use a 2-3 A, 13.8 VDC supply. Your Astron
