This, sadly, is the downfall of Linux. Nothing is easy! Linux mainstream

You need to wire the plug from that keyer (or build an adapter) that

There are two 1/4" phone connectors on the K3 back panel. One "KEY" is for a
straight key (mono). The other, "PADDLE" is for iambic keyers and has dot

Hi Robie,
All of our transceivers, including the K3 and K3S, use a custom transflective
LCD with high-contrast, easy to read segments. At night you can use the
backlight. But they're also visible in even the most intense directly sunlight.
You’ll have no trouble with visibility.

Hi Bill,
Currently the P3 stores span and reference level based on band, but not

And don't overlook the HUGE KX2 and KX3 advantage of only 150 mA battery

Yes Skip, I too wish the P3 settings would remain with each band and mode.
In contests like the IARU HF Championship, ARRL 10m, etc. where both modes
are allowed, keeping appropriate bandwidth settings and the RX bandpass
