Re: [Elecraft] K3 Remote Power On/Off

Doesn't the K3 automatically save settings every so often via a timer? So it would only revert to an earlier state if the power fails 'shortly' after making a change. Vic 4X6GP > On 1 Jun 2016, at 3:41 AM, Jim Brown wrote: > >> On Tue,5/31/2016 4:22 AM,

The K3 (K3S) can also be turned off safely (and store the current settings) by using the PS0 command - see the Programmer's Reference. That command cannot be used to turn it on (there is no power to the K3), so the POWER_ON pin in the ACC connector can be pulled low by an external device. If

Joe, The KX3, KX2, and K3/K3S should have virtually the same keying bandwidth. They all use the same raised-cosine keying envelope shape, and this is by far the dominant factor unless the transmit final amplifier is being overdriven. We looked at this in independent reviews and our in-house
