Richard, Take a careful look at the Low Pass Filter board for the KXB3080 option. Count the turns. Each time the wire passes through the toroid core is one turn. Make certain you have the correct number of turns. That LPF is the downfall of many builders. In addition, count the turns on

The modular nature of the K3 is a wonderful thing, in that it allows the hardware to be upgradeable. However, it does open up questions of compatibility. When major specifications change, such as with the introduction of the K3S, the potential for confusion increases. After advertising my KRX3 with

Olli, I think something like that would add confusion to the user interface. In other words, you have a unique situation that is only applicable if split is on a different band, but the display will not reflect the status of the normal RX and TX parameters when in split. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/1

Hi elecraft team, hi list, I'm thinking again on improvements for SO2V operation using a K3 with sub RX. In my opinion operating will be much smoother if TX on 2nd VFO is possible. I do know it is technical not possible to transmit on the frequency of the sub RX if it is on a different band.
