Update: Problem was not actually solved. Pro 7 appears to be

You will find that in the firmware release notes. This one is from MCU
5.33 dated Aug 2015.
"To turn on safe mode on/off, go into CONFIG:PTT-KEY and tap '1' to
select "USB SAFE" or "UNSAFE". Exit the menu and turn the K3S off/on."
When upgrading firmware, it is always a good idea to r
Be sure KAT500 is ON before powering up the K3.

What does 48" mean? Diameter? radius? circumference?
Where did the 51 pf value come from. Most small mag loops have variable
caps to tune them.
What is the "balun" you mention?
"4 turn coil around the copper pipe?" Not sure what you mean.
Small mag loops are pretty simple, and very well c
When I powered on the station tonight, I noticed nothing unusual, except
I had no power out.
My KAT-500 makes no attempt to tune when I use the K3S tune button.
I've checked all cables, updated KAT firmware, restored configuration,
no change.
When I first received this in 2015, a power-cycle
John - when you say 4 turn coil around the copper pipe, what exactly do you
mean? What I'm wondering is, what is the orientation of the 4 turn loop
with respect to the copper tubing loop? You don't mean that you wound the 4
turns around the copper pipe do you? The two loops should be in the sam
I could use some help with a MagLoop. I constructed a 48" loop from 3.8"
copper pipe. I have a 51 pf capacitor across the open end of the loop. I
am feeding the loop with a 4 turn coil around the copper pipe opposite of
the capacitor. Before checking the loop I tested a carbon resistor on the

Thanks Paul for the information.
I hope they will be released very soon.

Just warning about the CX-600NL. I initially used them for TR relays
on 2m-eme at 100w to 600w with no problems but once I increased power
to >800w the relays began to fail. The contacts apparently not able
to carry higher RF current as they eventually heat and melt the

I have the same problem. There is a Safe Mode (somewhere?) which allows you to
do this, otherwise the K3S goes to transmit when controlled by USB and the PC
is turned off.

Hi.
Gene - thank you!!!
I do not need to change setting to "UNSAVE" mode.
When my log connected with K3S - PTT setting is returned as was set.
Excellent "Safe mode" add-on !!

Did you use the K3S' Power Button to power down? If not, settings may not be

Hi Keith,
Version 1.09 of K-Pod firmware and the new K-Pod Utility will be available

Note that you will also need the latest K3 firmware as well.
Kindly,

Hello.
Have check now and find - PTT setting is not saved.
I have set it to RTS-OFF, after turning off (by power button, not by power
supply) and turning on again - setting of PTT is OFF-OFF.

Could this be the reason. Does the K3S need to be switched off of safe mode for
the PTT-PTT settings to not change?
PTT/KEY USE WITH THE USB PORT IMPROVED: Some PC applications can control PTT
and
KEY at the K3S via the RTS/DTR signals of the USB port. However, use of these
signals may a

I have no idea what you are doing wrong, but here are a few thoughts:
After making the menu change, are you exiting from the menu? Tap the
MENU button.
Are you 'pulling the plug" when you say you turn the radio off and back
on? Just like your computer, you must use the POWER button if th
Good morning. I am having a problem getting my K3S to save in the config menu
the setting for PTT-PTT. When I set it for RTS-DTR, hit menu it works fine.
Then I turn the radio off and back on and the PTT-PTT setting is back to
OFF-OFF. What am I doing wrong? How do I get the Config menu to sav
