The Linux source for the KX2 utility could probably be compiled on a
Raspberry Pi. I realize that the source code has not been (and probably
won't be) released but presumably someone at Elecraft would have a RPi
and be able to create an ARM binary that could be made available.

There is a procedure in the manual under "Calibration
Procedures". "Reference Oscillator". Using WWV can get you close
enough for most uses.

It is *not* the firmware - it is the *hardware* that does not support

By the way, if the sound card's sample rate is 192 kHz, the panadapter

Do you have anything connected to the 15 pin accessory jack on the K3?
I had the same symptom once last year, and tracked it down to a wiring
fault in a homebrew accessory cable.
If you do have something connected to that jack, try unplugging it
temporarily to see if the power down issue goes away.
I'd like this functionality as well.
Phones either plugged in or not, RX audio only out of the speaker, RX
audio and TX monitor in the phones.
Maybe a toggle in the settings for the monitor, speaker, phones or both.
Monitor level remains as set.
