After rushing to be there when Best Buy opened this am, I bought a new
serial to USB cable.
New cable worked fine, even tho an el cheapo by Elecraft standards. ($19.95
by Insignia)
With 5.26 installed and xmit gain recalibrated, all is well!

Hi Fred,
I have one on order based on my understanding that it does. If I'm

The TX Monitor is a time domain display - not a frequency domain
display. If you want to see the frequency domain display of your
own signal, temporarily disconnect the RS-232 cable between the
two (or connect another SDR to a directional coupler in the antenna
line).

The new P3TXMON does not include transmit spectrum monitoring.
Although I’ve never tried it, if you unplug the P3 from the K3, you can/might
observe your transmit spectrum. But this isn’t a feature. Alan sent an email
about this some time ago .. don’t have it, but you can probably find it

I just purchased a PX3 and want to mount it above my KX3 I was thinking of
using one of those holders for mounting your phone/GPS in your car ( the
gooseneck variety) has any one tried this? is the thickness of the PX3 a
problem? Thank you.

It appears that the gain of the Pre-2 has not been factored into the
S-meter ABS setting unlike that of the Pre-1. I can understand this
being the case with the outboard amps, PR-6 and family. However, given
that this function ins now internal maybe it could be taken into account.

Solar flux has increased providing more ions to support
communications. Hopefully the summer storms will cooperate and provide
semi-quiet conditions. The Pacific Northwest toggle switch has been

A very similar experience here as well.
One thing I dislike, is the flashing PRE when preamp 2 is on. It is annoying
to see the constant flashing, to me that generally means there is something
wrong. But it looks like that part of the K3’s display doesn’t have the
ability to display
I was running my K3 remotely and accidentally turned off power before doing a

Anyone else out there using rigctld as a means of interfacing fldigi to
the K3? I'd appreciate to see how you configure Retries, Retry

I'm trying to solve some erratic behaviour that I was not seeing
with rpc.rigd.

Pierfrancesco Caci,
Other than when it was posted on the reflector yesterday, I'd like to
know where this information originally came from. It was not in the
installation instructions and so far, I can't find it anywhere on the
Elecraft website and of course it is not in the K3 manuals to include

Hi Mike,
Check the CONFIG:LIN OUT value. It should be about 10 or so. When you are in
that menu tap the 1 key to make sure it isn’t =Phones.
Good luck.

I have the same problem and find it very distracting. I also have found that

Mike,
We'll take preamp 2's gain into account for SMTR ABS in an upcoming firmware
release. We also need to account for the 5/10/15 dB attenuation steps available
in the K3S.
By the way, the MDS on 12/10/6 meters with preamp 2 engaged is a blistering 145
dBm, typical! Have fun--

Hi Jim,
We intended to post the revised KXV3B installation instructions before shipping
it, but they beat us to it. Sorry about that.
The KXV3B is very well covered in all respects in the K3S owner's manual,
including enable and preamp 2 setup. The K3S manual will be posted soon.
