Yes. I've got eight new ni-mh batteries installed (2400 ma-hours each) and the
battery charger option was able to charge them successfully.

I spent a bunch of time and effort setting up my K3 for PSK and RTTY -
with only mediocre success - followed by setting up the same K3 with my
Signalink USB - also with questionable results. I followed many threads
here - reading some really good information and a few insults. I did not

Interesting indeed.
First impressing when getting the K3 was: "Where is this flawless QSK
people are raving about".
More use detected this flawlessnes frequently.
I always use QSK (not QRQ version) on the K3. At some times it is
absolutely wonderful, at others there are all kinds of thumps
Once things are set up in the menu - - There should be no need to change
menu settings when changing from SSB to data modes, just change the mode

Set the mode to SSB for voice operation and change to DATA A to use
soundcard audio for PSK or AFSK A for RTTY.
That is true

Most of LP500 information is for personal interest, with little help for
DXing or contesting. Also extra cables needed, e.g., for trapezoid display.
P3 does one thing well. Extras would cost hardware and software.

I run a full K-Line - K3, P3, KPA500 and KAT500, and I have a bit of an

button on the K3 to apply 20w of drive, and then

With the Elecraft mic, an SSBA setting of 1 is normally sufficient
although 2 can be used on bands where the RF gain is lower (10/12 meters).
I would recommend setting the SSBC menu parameter to 3-1 for general
use. If that is too much compression for ragchew groups, use 2-1.

I must be simple - as the P3 satisfies my needs and operates as
advertised. Operating as advertised is important - many rigs cannot
really do that (watch the wording in the advertising as a gotcha).
Of course a few enhancements - such as a turkey roasting timer, remote
lawn mower control, and
FlexRadio & TenTec also provide free updates.In today's market it's not
uncommon to provide free updates to a product you sell.
That being said I also would like to see the sensor board etc made available

Hi All,
I've been gathering information on the scanning feature of the KX3 (not an
owner..yet - VERY tempting).
I have the basics - VFO scan, channel hopping, live scan, muted scan, the
rules for channel hopping.

If the signal appears to be an unmodulated carrier, i.e. with little amplitude
variation over a period of about 1 second, then it is skipped. Noise can

Well interesting discussion. I live in the city and have considerable noise on
