No. You have just discovered the second law of SWR, "The confusion factor goes
up exponentially with number of SWR meters in the system."
In other words the SWR reading in the K3S (via KAT3) is the result of
"matching" antenna to the output of the amplifier in the radio (LPA or KPA3).
Your sens

Ferris, is the sensor for the TX MON mounted directly on the ANT connector
on your K3S? (no coax jumper to the sensor).
The reason for the question is this. The tuner in the K3S adjusts the
impedance the K3S's finals see to 50 ohms at the input to the KAT3 inside
the K3S, but the impedance the KA

Yes, you will likely need to have bias on for whichever mic jack you
use.
It has the standard PC 1/8" jacks, so I assume I'd need some sort of
adapters. But what about for the mike? And how do I add

Regarding funcube and IF of K3.
I use a fun cube pro and NAP3 with a tap from my second receiver.
I use win4k3 an LPpan IF to IQ to a Steinberg UR22 or Xonar U7 soundcars to
display my main receiver. Win4k3 works great for station integration.
All works fine.

Ferris,
I am assuming that you are referring to the SWR displayed from the P3
Transmit Monitor which is placed in your feedline to the antenna. If
other than that, please correct me.
The SWR displayed on the Transmit monitor is the SWR on the transmission
line to the antenna - in other word
Wanted to check my understanding of one other thing:
Doing data modes, especially RTTY, PSK31, and JT65, doesn't require any special
connections between pc and radio, right? No mic to headphone wires or USB
sound cards? It's all handled by the codec over the USB connection?
What about compu

Stay tuned! We'll likely have it up on the order form the middle of this next

Hell-o Everyone -
Finished building my K3S and P3 (with TX Mon), and I'm starting to play with
the configuration/menus.
I have the KAT3 ATU installed, and it works great. But I do have a question
regarding the SWR displays.
I'm running a simple diploe, and the KAT3 tunes it down to 1.0-1 i
I just received an invoice for two of my K3s that were in the Elecraft shop
for upgrades and repairs. I had asked that they hold the radios for the
KIO3B upgrade. It was done today. They are $389.95 each.

Welcome to the hobby. Mike has it exactly right about the K3S.
With an adapter, you can use the front panel jack for the
headphones. Using it makes it easy to switch to the internal
speaker when you want to. (Just unplug the 1/4 inch adapter.)

Hi Juliean -
Welcome to the hobby. You're starting off with the best. Yes, you can use your

transmit, so with a bit of tinkering, you can get excellent sound.
My headset came with 1/8 plugs for both mic and phones. I plug th

For example, I have an excellent, high-quality, computer headset with
