I have a K3 SN 6001, I see reference to a filter offset that's related to
each of the filters
I purchased with the radio..where do I find that filter offset
info..
Any help appreciated

Hold the CONFIG button down to enter the menu. Then use the VFO B knob
to locate the FLx FRQ. So for filter 1 it will show FL1 FRQ and you can
use the VFO A knob to change the value of the offset if desired. Tap
the XFIL key select filters 2 - 5.
Page 46 of the manual gets into more
Five pole filters (KFL3A-500 and KFL3A-2.7K) should have a label physically
attached to the filter that shows its offset.
If it's a factory-built radio, filter offsets may be printed on a label
stuck to the underside of the top cover.
Eight pole filters should use an offset of zero.

I tried the 50 W calibration on my Windows VM and it worked fine.
I’m not sure why the Mac Utility failed (I’m running the latest Mac Utility

I used a Raspberry Pi and made a NTP server to hook to my GPSDO

I just purchased a PX3 for my KX3 and KPA100 for my cottage in Canada. I
connected it as per instructions and it works well. I have one issue, when I
change bands on the KX3 the display on the PX3 flickers when the band is tuned.
The only way to stop the flickering is to cycle the PX3 off
I recently began building a just-purchased KPA100 kit for my K2 #5191. All was
well until I reached the voltage checkpoints on page 26.
U5 pin 1 is 0.8 volts (not 0 to 0.1)
U5 pin 7 is 0.9 V (not 0 to 0.1)
U6 pin 6 is 17 volts (not 0 to 0.5)
I am much more concerned about U6, but perhaps

I have a KX3 (serial #7551). I just bought a KXPA100 (serial #1566).
The amp works fine when configured in basic cable setup. My NYE MB-V-A

It does not work with the KXPACBL setup.

I think the main point is that for the last several versions of Windows you
haven't needed to, and probably shouldn't, use a 3rd party program to sync

Are you saying that with the KPA100 connected to the base K2, you have
17 volts on U6 pin 6, but with it still connected to the base K2, you
have a lower voltage at RF board D9? Check the voltage at both ends of
RF board R66 - If the highest voltage there does not match the reading
So you are saying that NTP should still synchronize my computer clock
accurately?

Having an accurate clock if you are using, or plan to use, the WSJT digital
modes with Windows, is highly recommended.
The average user shouldn’t be making changes to the registry, and there is no
reason why you shouldn’t use a third party utility program to have an accurate
clock; even if you

it's not; I can not update unless I use a 3rd party program. Here is

I mentioned POOL.NTP.ORG earlier.
I don't care what name you use for the server, sooner or later it will
change, or go away.
The pool has a whole bunch of time servers, run by different
organizations. The people who run them can add them to the pool, or
remove them from the pool when
