Steve,
The only software application specifically for the KX3 is KX3 Utility
which takes very little of the computer resources.
Perhaps a better question is -- "What processing capability is required
for the software applications that I want to run?"
That will determine how powerful a

Good Evening,
Conditions were better on both bands. QSB was everywhere but I was
able to reach farther across the country. Alberta Clipper was the storm
type. Dry snow, lots of drifting, followed by deep cold. Good thing
dry snow insulates so well. My mother was born in North Dakota
lots of info on U tube both alignment and operation

The KX3 is rated for 5 W in full carrier modes like FM and data.
The easiest way to get above 5 W is to

Steve - I normally use an iMac (27”) here in the shack with WSJT-X and in the

Use the Elecraft USB <--> RS232 with the 3.5mm plug to connect

programs to automatically read the frequency
Chiming in here... did you try UDP & TCP? I have run into devices that
claim 'only TCP' but required both protocols forwarded to work. Another
idea: use Wireshark on a locally connected PC LAN card interface to
sniff out the protocols and ports that are actually being used by the
KPA. That

I have not been able to make it work either.
At the remote transmitter site, I can connect to the KPA1500 via USB or the

use Windows Remote Desktop connection to the PC at the remote site. That works,
but I
I have updated the firmware to 2.0 and tried to connect using static IP

However, I have always had a problem connecting to the KPA1500 remotely. I can

Another "gotcha" is forgetting to reset the RS232 baud rate.
This bites me after every FD because N1MM is different from my Palstar

Yes, the P3 automatically bypasses its internal preamp whenever the
input signal level overloads the ADC. It uses a fairly complicated
algorithm to try to minimize the inconvenience. The first time the ADC
overloads, the preamp is switched out for a fairly short period of time
and then it is
I'm trying to find a good new or used Macbook or Mac mini to begin using
with my KX3. I had used a PC with ASUS Xonar U7 and/or Signalink USB.
What will I need to keep, drop or use in a different way to get a Mac
unit working with my KX3? I'm especially interested in digital signals.

I have need to have a simple remote control of my KPA 500 for a few weeks.
I would like to be able to remotely power up the amp. It will already be in
the mode to power up in operate mode.
I can only use an Iphone web interface to remotely power on the amp, no
computers on either end. Any
Many of the previously listed items have been sold. Two K2 systems and a
non-Elecraft QRP rig are still available:
K2/100 (s/n 7687) with KAT100 ATU in the matching low-profile enclosure. The
K2 has the KNB2, KSB2, KAF2, and the 100-watt amp. The amp includes serial
communications
I have had the coax connector between the ladder line and the coax arc
over with high power on 75. Might check that.

Sure sounds like an antenna problem. Check the system on a dummy load.

The first thing I would do is see if the problem is seen with a dummy load in
circuit instead of the antenna system. No need to wait for the rain to stop.

Jack, I had a similar thing happen and it turned out to be a tree branch had
grown into the antenna path and when on high power the antenna was arcing to
the tree branch. Might not be a tree branch but look for any signs of possible
arching in the antenna, feed line or connectors.

Hello,
since I worked on 80 and 160 m the last couple of weeks I noticed that the
P3 panadapter starts clicking relays whenever a very strong local signal
(-10 dBm to 0 dBm) or a number of strong signals within the bandpass are
present. I could not find a relation yet when it happens because it
