I too would like an overview of your setup as well...

Finished building my brand new K3 earlier today and am now at the "Test
and Calibration" point in the manual.
Radio powers up OK.
When I go into CONFIG the display reads

Turning VFO B doesn't change the display (and turning VFO A doesn't
change the frequency).

I wonder what's the experience with the MV89A, does it need a lot of
adjustment of the control voltage, or does it have this kind of accuracy out
of the box?

These are good units. I have a GV-10 controller for lead acid that is
dead quiet. They have models for different battery types and voltages.

I have used two different units of the Battery Tender 6A charger model.
One failed (after many years) leading to overvoltage. The other
generates huge amounts of RFI especially on 20m. They certainly seem

These new beta releases are recommended for all PX3 users. If you have a
KXPA100 as well and have experienced a display "freeze" condition in the PX3,
the new firmware will correct it. (I'd like to thank our field testers for
vetting the new releases so quickly.)

A rubidium frequency source contains a few milligrams of natural
rubidium, some of which is weakly radioactive.
But there is about 5 times more radioactivity in a banana and about 1000
times more natural radioactivity in the human body itself (in both
cases, mostly due to natural potassium-40).
I have an old Brown Brothers base that has both the paddle and straight key on
it. On the underside I put some plain old 1N40XX diodes and can use either on
the K2 with no changes and a single cord and plug.
HINT, HINT I sure wish this was an option on the K3 too. I often wondered
why

I don't know about, "an improvement in both engineering and quality", as I never
faulted A&A for either.
That said, I know that my suggestion isn't what you're after for the moment but
if you or others ever need higher current "smart chargers", look at Iota
Engineering's products. I've replac
I did something similar. I soldered a
two-Schottky-diodes-in-one-package-with-common-cathode device, salvaged
from a switching PSU, on a 6.3 mm jack, glued it to the base plate of my
sqeeze-paddle and I just have to plug in my straight key and can
instantly use both.

Funny thing is that my Elecraft rig training threw
me for a loop with my Ten-Tec Rebel and some
"aftermarket" firmware loaded which includes a
keyer and other features. That keyer does an

paddle and Mono means a straight key. So when I

For my K2, I made a short adapter cable, 3.5mm female to 3.5mm stereo male, and
I soldered a couple of diodes inside the one of the 3.5mm connectors to bring
both tip and sleeve of the male connector to ground when the tip of the female
connector is grounded by a straight key. This goes into one
