Good Evening,
On twenty meters the band favored those calling in my direction.
QSB was not too deep and the band was fairly quiet so copy was OK. On
forty meters the QSB was deeper and the storm noise was louder. But I

I have had a K3/0 for about 5 years now. In that time, I don't recall ever
doing a Firmware update on it. Does it require one?
What is the current firmware for the K3/0?

That did the trick.

Hi Michael,
The SVGA option isn't "necessary" but it adds greatly to the utility
of the P3.
Its a common misunderstanding that the SVGA option is simply
a video adapter. In fact its also an FFT processor with four times
better resolution of the basic P3. Its best to use a full HD

I have operated a friend’s station with the SVGA. He felt it was essential
because of his eyesight. My eyes are not great, but I don’t have room for
another monitor in my shack and find the P3 display to be fully adequate.

My old KX3 (S/N 763) is a great performer but I'm concerned about the

What is the firmware level of your K3/K3S?
If it is 5.33 or later, there is a SAFE/UNSAFE mode for PTT-Key. An
excerpt from the 5.33 Firmware Release Notes is below:

PTT and KEY at the K3S via the USB port's RTS/DTR
I am listing the following for, and with the authority of Carl Beck, W5BEK:

+ KFL3A-2.8K - 2.8 kHz 8 pole
In cases like this, please check the firmware release notes for the

infrequently. I added the bolding...

Align the IF filters. I have no idea what may have made them change,
unless you tried to do a Master Reset which would change the filter
