Perhaps it was 3-phase hum? The really big amps run on 400V 3-phase circuits

Four bars solid and the 5th bar flickering is the correct way to do it.

The best way to determine the core performance is to do what the
manufacturer does.
Use an analyzer to look a Ui and U''i over frequency to get an idea of the
material type.
The 2nd best way is to wind a few turns to see what the Rs is over the
frequency of interest.

yep, this might be the case ... but I did not check during the contest

To those who are having KXV3B Problems and getting the ERR XV3 message,
as Joe W4TV said, you must first have beta firmware version 5.26
installed. Then go to the KXV3 item in the menu, make sure it's set to
NOR and tap 9 on the keypad. This will switch it from KXV3 to KXV3B.
To enable the
Yes, thanks for the information.
I don’t see that in the KXV3B installation instructions, or at their web site
which mentions the changes to the firmware revisions here:

You need to set PREAMP2 to on by holding down MENU/CONFIG. Then press the PRE
button and it will rotate from OFF to PRE 1, then to PRE 2.
This needs to be done 3 times, if you desire, for 6, 10 and 12 meters.

Go to Config, KXV3, tap 9
Exit the menu.

Dick,
Update your firmware to 5.26 (beta). It is necessary to recognize
the new options.

Yes, it must be done separately for each band. That is what is meant by

Don,
thanks for the hints. The K2 is almost original with some simple mods
that had been published during the early days.
I pulled out my XG3 and tried to reproduce the problem. But I could not
hear a clean 2nd or 3rd signal, but a lot of hard noise nearby.
I guess the XG3 is just not clean
I'm running 5.26 here. I don't have the KXV3B in this K3.
In CONFIG:KXV3, tapping the '9' key toggles between KXV3 and KXV3B. I
haven't consulted the current manual, so don't know if this hidden
function is suposed to work. It will get you out of the woods though.

First of all, thanks to all for responding!
The good news, fwiw, is that I was able to toggle to the B configuration by
following Bob's suggestion of going to the KXV3 menu and then pressing 9.
It switched to the new configuration and no more err.

Yes there is, but it doesn't work because the K3 (not K3S) firmware is
not recognizing the KXV3B module or at least not recognizing some parts
of it. Some of the hardware apparently works for some people and not
for others. I'm thinking this may depend on the age of the K3? Mine is
#5027
Ah, yes
After setting KXV3B mode, don't forget to exit the CONFIG menu and
power-cycle the K3. It should be fine after that step.
