The input to the P3 is an IF signal, 8.215 MHz in the case of the K3.
The input to the PX3 is an I/Q baseband signal so that it can work with
the KX3.
Within the limitations imposed by that,
Perhaps the confusion is based on the fact that the USB connector, which
is part of the SVGA option in the P3, is standard in the PX3.

It is not a good idea to connect pin 8 of the K3’s AUX IO connector to pin 8 of

Let me add a couple of other PX3 observations from the Dayton Hamvention:

Brian,
Does that happen with SSB, or any mode?
If SSB only, I suggest that you 'train' you KAT500 on the antenna, and
then put it into MAN mode.
The new firmware should have made the occurrences of false SWR detection
less frequent, but the varying pattern of SSB creates situations where

The PX3 uses exactly the same LCD as the P3. Same size. No wonder it
looked/acted like your P3 :)
The P3SVGA is a planned option, but yes, it would be built-in. No prediction on
when that will be available.

Clay,
The screen size on the PX3 is the same as the P3 - it uses the same part
(I got that info from the designer).
It does "look" smaller at first glance, but I believe that is because of
the smaller enclosure frame around it.

The PX3's controls perform virtually the same functions as the P3's. I've been

George,
The normal K2/10 does not have a KEYOUT jack - and that is the only problem.
There are 2 solutions - 1) If you have the K60XV option installed, all
you need is a jack (and a hole to mount it) and a bit of wire. K60XV J2
pin 2 will produce a KEYOUT signal.
2) If you do not have the K60XV

The terminal tab provides a nice CW keyboard, except that I'm not able to

anyone know of a way to do that? It would surely make normal QSOs less of a

Yes, the MIC29302 is indeed an attractive regulator when using a 4S LiPo to
