Hi Don, all,
I am on this list (with great admiration), mostly lurking and trying to
keep quiet because I know this is an elecraft list not QRP Labs ;-)

If what you want is a good panadapter for the K3, the P3 is hard to beat,
in my opinion.
I started my panadapter journey on the K3 the cheapest way possible - a
softrock receiver on the IF, fed to the internal sound card on my PC. I was
never able to tame the large 'spike' at the IF frequency. I
Bill, while the original post was about the 60 m channels, the K3 Memory
Editor works for all frequencies for all bands. As you note, split
operation makes essentially no sense on the 5 60 m channels in the US.
It does make sense elsewhere.

Comments on the R & O - Effective EST on March 5, 2012.
Amateurs are permitted to operate on five specific frequency channels,
each having an effective bandwidth of 2.8 kHz.
*Table 1:*
Channel 1: 5330.5 kHz
Channel 2: 5346.5 kHz
Channel 3: 5357.0 kHz
Channel 4: 5371.5 kHz
Channel 5: 5403
For me it's more about which antenna I'm using than which band I'm on. I've
assigned one of the PF keys to the ATU MD switch to make it easier.

Split on 60 meters takes two channels and is a waste of BW.
Remember there is no "up 1k" on 60 meters. TX is only authorized on the
channels.

Be sure to set radioRS232 to USB not a baud rate like the ref K3.

Speaking of Steve KD1JV - he just announced an upcoming ("sometime before
Christmas") new kit today. In a departure from his usual CW kits this one will
be for SSB/digital modes.

I use memories 61, 62, 63, 64 & 65 for 60 meter frequencies and mode.
You can choose memories of your choice. By doing this then pressing V-M
one can "tune" through the memories. Finding one you wish to use,then
press V-M again and the radio goes there.
Those frequencies are are as follows

Then the system has no serial ports defined.

You might try the manual section on using memories. A 60 meter frequency works
like any other.
Also note that a "*" in the right place allows that group of memories to be
selected with VFO knob.

Does your computer have one of those gosh darn single 3.5 mm jacks for audio?
For this you need the proper TRRS adapters that split the in from the out.

Thom,
I don't know how many band boards they may have in stock. If there are
any, they are available for purchase. Also band kits if you want to
change the bands on an existing 2 band board.
Contact Elecraft and ask.

Thanks Don for the info.
I only bought the 40/20 board with it and I was hoping to get a 80/30

the radio was discontinued.
I put a spare K2 knob I had, on my K1. I like that knob better, it has

Pete,
Check page 42 of the K3S manual. What you are likely seeking is
"Channel Hopping". BTW, the same thing works for other than 60 meters
if you have a need - like checking the bands for DX Beacons.

Yep they are changing.

DIGOUT0 is the only unambiguous signal with that information.
If you read the top right column of page 19 in the K3 manual (or page 21
