I tried the new K-Pod commands with the latest beta firmwares, both K3 and
K-Pod. I guessed that controlling K-Pod LEDs meant controlling rocker-switch
function as well, but it did not. So I would like to make a feature request;

Note first that in a "Twin" configuration, COM2 is used to "tie" the two
ends together and carries the CAT data. In order to access CAT, you need
to get to COM2 without touching it.
Many thanks to Mike Flowers, K6MKF, NCDXC ("It's about DX!"), who calmed
me down to do the step by step troubleshooting for this issue. And
thanks to several others who offered even the smallest suggestion.

I'll repeat back what I think I understand about your current setup:
You have a serial-USB adapter plugged into the female DE-9 labeled
"COM1" on the front of the RRC-1258, the other [USB-A] end is plugged
into a USB slot on your computer, and device mangler tells you it is "COM3".
If that's
Got the RemoteRig setup working great except for one small wrinkle -
logging. I have a serial to USB cable connected from COM1 on the 1258 and
settings at both control and remote set to Mode 7 - CAT to COM2. The
computer recognizes the connection as COM3, but when I try to direct a

Thanks to all who have sent suggestions on how I might resolve my "KAT

Here's what I think I know so far:
1. The KAT seems fine.
2. The P3 Output Monitor thinks it sees 0.6W on the antenna line after
the KAT.
3. This implies to me that the K3S thinks it is tuning with 25W, b

Good point. Look
Most of this very interesting post is not-relevant to my ham radio

Ron,
You have to use the P3 Utility to access the P3 - you cannot use the K3
Utility and the P3 Utility at the same time, they both have to use the
same COM Port.
For the NO SUB response, I suspect that you have not yet turned the KRX3
menu entry to Installed.

I assume that Don means a 30Hz wide peak below.
While I have found APF to be good for digging out weak CW
signals near the noise level, I have found a 50-100Hz bandwidth
works better when there are nearby strong signals. (I have the
250Hz crystal filter.) The K3 won't let me narrow the DSP fil
Hi Ron,
You do need the P3 utility to update the P3 and the K3 Utility should not be
running as they use the same serial port.
If you are seeing No Sub you probably don't have the Config menu KRX3 set to
ATU or BNC. Which of those you chose depends on how you have the sub receiver
installed.
First time poster. I just finished putting together my K3S, subreceiver,
100 watt amplifier and panadapter. Having a medical background this was
quite a unique experience. I have a couple of questions and could not find
the answer in the archives so hope this is not a frequently asked question.

All,
While the suggestions of simulating contest conditions for testing may
have merit, I believe the existing tests demonstrate that the low phase
noise of the K3(S) allows you to 'saddle up' closer to an offending
station in a contest or DX Pileup. The 2kHz test results does indicate
that
There is another frontier. That is noise/RFI reduction.
The Pandora's box of RFI has been opened and can't be shut at this point.
We need to address the issue of noise reduction and noise blanketing in
some quantitative way to compare various RX's. Right now the
"comparisons" are all innuendo
Before I bought my K3, I discussed the radio with someone in the
booth at Radiofest, a small hamfest held near Monterey, CA.
After I had learned a very little bit about the radio, I had my
wife (KI6SLX), a retired QA engineer for Apple, discuss UI
issues. When she said it seemed OK, I wrote a c

EXCELLENT excellent excellent post...Great summary. The listen ability and
ease of ergonomic operability are the reason I love radios with knobs. This
is what the maestro is trying to do for for the Flex 6XXX radios. There is
just not a better box for both on the market other than the K3, K3s, KX3,
Al,
As a CW op, I consider the 2 KHz away figures interesting not really
relevant.
I want to know how well a receiver is able to separate a weak signal
from strong signals 50-100 Hz away. It would be interesting to speculate
how such a measurement would be done. Let the RX use whatever analo
Nice explanation Al. It's nice to know that the K3 ranks high on the
charts, but I agree that 'usability' and 'listenability' are underrated.
Before I purchased my K3, I went to AES in Wickliffe and listened to
several receivers. I liked the sound of the Kenwoods, but I liked the
