OK, that explains why what I've been doing has been working! I set the
sidetone pitch I want and leave it alone. Everything else seems to work
out fine. I do have my RXEQ set to reduce higher and lower frequencies
but the RXEQ is pretty broad and probably isn't contributing much

Is the center frequency of the K3 Audio Peaking Filter adjustable? I
didn't think so but honestly don't really know.
The coast marine station I worked at in 56/57 supplied 1 Khz [well 1 Kc

Grant,
I might also add that the wattmeter needs some forward power to compute
the SWR from the reverse power.
So if there is no forward power, the SWR will be reported as 1:1.

Do not send anything until you have the RSA number and shipping

Grant,
Yes, the K3 uses the same power and SWR sensing for less than 12 watts
and greater than 12 watts.
It sounds like you have a non-functioning KPA3.
You might want to check with an external wattmeter to be certain.

Thanks Grant and several others offline. I'm now up-and-running courtesy of

Since you are looking at the FTP site, just download all of the files from
there to a local folder. Then browse to that local folder with Utility instead
of having Utility do the download.

Hopefully the last issue here.
Notice the power output drops off just after first moment of transmitting. Both
SSB and CW.
ATU is bypassed (occurs also when ATU is in as well)
Some kind of TX AGC issue perhaps?

When you've got a weak signal peaked in a narrow filter or APF, that's
the time you'd like to optimize the pitch. Adjusting the VFO/RIT for a
different pitch is not really an option at that point.
You're right though, PITCH as implemented is mainly meant to pick your

Yes, the K3 cw pitch is easy to set tailor for hearing response and
speaker/headphone response; at least easier than the K2. For my K2 I had

so that I could change them on the fly while operating; I recall it took
