I don't know where the idea started that the decode algorithm in the K3(s) would be a good as a stand alone dedicated program like MMTTY. It won't ever be simply from a processor and memory point of view. I'm sure the Elecraft principals have made no such claim so why do people still expect

[Elecraft] P3 Beta Firmware Issue with DX Labs

Hi, I have updated to the latest P3 Beta firmware MCU 1.59 and have the SVGA option installed. It's working great, except with the previous firmware, with SVGA Data off, DX Labs Winwarbler would display both decoded CW and RTTY from the K3 and with SVGA Data on it would disable Winwarbler. Now

Re: [Elecraft] KAT2

Aaron, The KAT2 needs only 2 watts to TUNE - in fact the firmware limits the power to 2 watts during a TUNE. What was the SWR reported when you tried to tune the end-fed antenna? My guess is that the SWR was high. The most common cause of LO P message is that the K2 PA cannot deliver 2 watts

[Elecraft] K3s VFO A and VFO B Retain Power Levels

I know that we can retain the operating mode in VFO A and VFO B and the radio returns to the last operating mode in each VFO. Great. Is there a way also to retain the power levels for VFOs? It would be convenient when moving from SSB in VFO A at QRO levels to go to VFO B for instance at 40 watts
