My K3F/100 S/N 298 has suffered a power output failure. Switched off
last night everything normal and full power out as has always been the
case. Switched on this morning and essentially nothing. The power meter
flicks up and down like crazy. It's literally all over the shop. ALC

It happens with two different OSs and two different programs.
The best place to look first is the common elements.

Why do you presume it is a fault of the P3 and not something funky happening
with whatever software you’re running on your PC?

I have the same problem with wsjt-x running from a Mac. When I
change bands, the center frequency changes. Very annoying since
it moves part of the display outside of the 17M and 12M bands.

Sorry guys but N1MM+ works fine here. I went to several bands and modes

I believe I heard of this "problem" before. It needs to be addressed
with the N1MM+ folks for a possible fix.

I guess maybe I need to fire up N1MM+ to see what happens here. Dxbase seems
to work fine and so does DX4WIN.

Thanks to all who answered so quickly. I misunderstood what was what. I was
under the impression that the utility was mainly for updating the firmware. I
was wrong. Thanks for setting me straight.

It may be a timing issue. It only happens when the software [N1MM+ in
my case] sends a frequency command. It rarely happens for me when I
make the first frequency change. Returning to the first band, it
usually happens. And you're right, it is annoying.

Hi,
I have been trying ot find the software for the W2 computer control. I found
the app to update the firmware but cannot find the control software. Does
anyone know where I can find it?

I just went thru my 2 K3S's and K3 all attached to different P3's with my
cable attached to the P3's comm ports and for some reason do not have the
same issue. My span limits on all three have stayed the same from 6 to 160
meters. I'm using three different PC's with two of them using Windows 10

I haven't noticed that large a shift, but sometimes 0.5 kHz or so.

Noel,
The answer is on page 5 of the KX3 manual. The Keyline Out signal is on
the ring. The tip is the GPIO input. Of course, the shell is common
(ground).
So connect to the ring and shell.

Hello,
One of my friend is making a cable to key the KPA500 with his KX3.
According to the book, the KPA500 Pa Key must be connected to the ACC2
2.5mm plug as followSHELL and RING not TIP...
I read that in the erratas section
It is right like that??or shell and tip???
Thanks

The display of the K3 is "hard coded". When it was designed, there was no
KPA1500 hence it can only read KPA500.

Ed,
I am not certain of the answer, but the K3 to KPA500 or the KPA1500 is
the same. So either the K3 firmware cannot distinguish between the two
or that the K3 firmware has not been updated to detect the KPA500 from
the KPA1500.
