I've been getting several e-mails - "How do you want my log?"
Short answer?
I don't! Please . no adif, cabrillo, csv files.
What I do want is your log summary. It' s real easy to send and I'll include
the following exmaple (mine):

Richard and all,
A genuine query, not a diplomatic contrary view.
In the UK and many Eu countries the licence does not specify any mode or any
frequency assignments within the basic amateur band. It is lawful to use any
mode anywhere provided only that it is wholly contained within the licensed

I would suggest you start by removing the top and front bottom covers as
well as the left side panel.
Then remove the subRX assembly.
You can install the new synthesizer boards at that point - do not put
the subRX back in until you finish the other upgrades.
Then you have a choice - deal with
Doing more than one install at a time is quite possible and can
be a significant saving of time and effort. But to a certain
extent, you will be synthesizing your own instructions.
All of these installs break down into three phases: Disassembly,
install, and reassembly. The way I like to
Well assuming you have all the mods, you should have the assembly manuals as
well. I'll assume you are replacing the Synth board, the Full coverage mod,
the KIO3B, the KPA3A and the KAT3A.
Not having books in front of me, remembering the assembly, I would remove Top
and Both Bottom panels.
Gary,
Here is a good read on 6 meter and VHF propagation in general.

Jim, K9YC, has given you some very good info already. I have been active on 6
meters for probably the last 20 years, and have not seen any drastic
differences in propagation on

informative (as usual) answer. I guess the answer is I should put up
an antenna for 160 as it does have unique characteristics as does

With that, I'll

Ken,
The numerical assignment of the transverter - the "n" in "XVn" - will
produce a corresponding output on the K3 Band Data lines. Note that the
setting of the menu CONFIG:KIO3 can change the behavior of the band data
lines.
The XVn ADR has to do with the data sent on the AUXBUS and is
Hi Don
What I mean by #1 and #8 is that from what I gather by reading the
Manual, the K3S supports 8 different external transverters and the
internal one. The externals can be assigned Band 1 through 9 while
the internal can be defined as Band 0 through 9. As I read it, the
ADR settings have
I have only had a 6M capable rig for a few years, so I have not been through
a sunspot low on 6M.
Started out working 6M with my 20M dipole and was so encouraged that I put
up a 3-el Yagi on my deck at about 15 feet with "arm strong" rotator.
I primarily operate during the E Skip season,
Ken,
If there is no TRN addressing in the DEMI transverter, then it will not
respond to the addressing being sent over the K3 AUXBUS.
You may have to do some decoding of the BAND SELECT lines in the K3 ACC
connector.
Actually, I think your problem is in the CAT control program - it
Hi Gary,
I've worked 6M off and on since 1957 (the off and on part corresponds
mostly with times I wasn't on the air at all). The only time that the
sunspot cycle had much to do with 6M activity was during that monster
sunspot cycle around '57-'58, when from WV we worked ZS in the morning,

Yes, you will either have to keep the XV144 powered or disconnect the
AUX cable when you remove the 12V power from the XV144.

I got back into the hobby 2 1/2 months ago. I have been on 6 meters almost

I am not sure what you mean by "#1" and "#8" - I can guess, but I don't
have enough information to know what you mean.
Look at the XVn menu items in the K3S manual listing of the menu
functions. There are two that will affect the selection of the proper
transverter - 1) XVn ON, and 2)

No. ESSB is not active in DATA A - transmit bandwidth is limited
to approximately 300 - 2500 Hz by the DSP.
However, if you use WSJT-X in "Split" mode, WSJT-X will automatically

If you are using AFSK for RTTY and controlling PTT via a method such as rig
control or VOX, Don's advice about only one COM port applies. The only COM
port you need is for rig control, and the KIO3B simply allows you to
replace whatever you used previously with a direct USB connection to the
