I can’t explain the ‘z’. But a workaround might be to edit the message using K3

I purchased two aux cables so I could put the amp on a separate side table
with my Acom 2000A. It was interesting that I never got a direct answer on
theexact length of a single cable, hi, but the two cables together were a
perfect decision.

During the All Asia CW contest I tried programming M2 to send my report,
i.e. de kg7v 59980. Everything worked EXCEPT the play back was z kg7v 59980.
I cleared the memory each time before programming. What am I doing wrong?

Check to see that Data A mode is not showing REV. If so, just press and
hold the ALT button unit the REV is no longer displayed above the DATA
label on the display.
As to SPLIT, that is to assure your transmitted tones are between ~1500
Hz and ~1999 Hz thus any distortion products
Something I've noticed lately using the same antenna, the K3 reads 2 s units
higher than the KX3 and the PX3 reads 10 db higher than the P3. Normal?

Last week, I took the KX2 on a little bicycle tour, and did two of the
CWT sessions:
http://cwt1605k9ma.blogspot.com/2018/06/grant-county-cwt.html
It's quite a contrast to the K3/KPA1500 and fairly big antennas at home,
but the KX2 is a real pleasure to use.

I'll be leading an amateur radio workshop at Northern Kentucky Makerspace on
Monday (the 18th), and I hope to assist the middle and high-school students in
making HF contacts on my K3. The phone bands seem very quiet these days, so I
thought I would stack the deck a bit by asking for help here.
Good Evening,
While twenty meters had QSB and weak signals forty meters had QSB,
less weak signals, and QRN from a storm. Woo Hoo :) I do miss those
days when twenty meters would reach all the way across the US but I'm
patient. One day those conditions will return.

Hi Don, I checked and my K3S is set in DATA A mode. I'm running SPLIT as
well. The WSJT-X cites "advantages" but I'm not too clear on what those are!

Based on your settings and description all seem correct. The K3S power
meter should be solid as well. Thus I see the issue is with the P4TXMON.

I think we’re talking about two different pairs of screws:
- The thumb screws in the KXPD2 are identical in length (with blunt tip). I’m
sure that’s not Mike’s issue.
- The other screws are the 2-56 pan-heads that hold the paddle together. These
come in from the back side. It’s possible

The only way I know of to do it reliably is to replace the inductor.
I suspect you stripped the threads on the inside of the inductor core
and not the slug. So just bite the bullet and replace the inductor.

Bret,
Are you using DATA A? If you are using SSB, then you may have some TX
EQ cranked in and the power varying with the audio tone.
DATA A automatically sets compression to zero and equalization flat. Be
certain to open up the bandwidth to maximum. DATA A defaults to a
narrow bandwidth.
Yep - got that set with PC at ~30%, WSJT-X slider at ~60% and MIC (Line Gain)

steady, it's just the P3TXMON that seems to vary.

Have you set the Lin In Gain according to the K3 manual. If not, the K3 will
vary the output power.
Don Wilhelm has very good information on this topic.

Mike,
It sounds like your KXPD2 may have a 3D printed housing that was prepared
incorrectly (sanded too much on the back side). This could leave the screw
heads slightly exposed. You can contact support to obtain a replacement.
As a temporary workaround, place a bit of adhesive label material
Hi Bob,
The K3s, KX3, and KX2 use a similar ALC power control design.

With K3S/KPA500 PWR knob set to 100W (out on KPA500) I'll see SWR 1.00 on the

Martin,
The K2 resets the power control mechanism after a band change or a
change in the POWER control. To prevent overshoot, it starts out low
and ramps up quickly to the requested power.
It must sense the actual power output and adjust the drive accordingly,
and that takes one or two dit
