Last year I founf thet my biggest noise problem on 80m was my Samsung 21'
monitor.
Tried to solve with lot of ferrite on his external power supply and on all
cables to monitor, but I tried this kind of filtering without resolving.
Desperate, bought a new beautiful 24' NEC monitor with power supply
I own a K3S and would like to add a KAT500, is there any trouble with this
configuration if i don't have, for the time being aKPA500

There is now trouble at all with that configuration. If you add the KPA500
later, there will be no trouble then either.

Shielded CAT cable uses special connectors to ground the shield (drain)
wire. They have a metal housing around the connector that the 9th ground
wire is connected to. This requires that the jack that the cable
connector plugs into be the appropriate type of jack that accepts the
shield ground.
Hello,
Does the PX3 panadapter work for the KX2?
Does anyone with a KX2 have a different panadapter-esque solution?
I have a 7” android tablet that I was hoping to use as a waterfall
display/mobile computer for portable ops. But I could just as easily
substitute a small laptop or raspberry pi if
Adam,
The PX3 uses the RX I/Q output from the KX3.
The KX2 has no RX I/Q output, so it cannot drive the PX3.
Win4K3 does work with the KX2 and it has the capability to provide a
panadapter display. Just how that is done for the KX2 I am not certain,
but you may want to check out the Win4K3 we
Hi,
Here is a video on how to set this up with the KX2.

It will be pretty much the same for the KX2 except that you need the
appropriate cable to turn on the switch when you go into transmit. Also note
that there is a newer MFJ switch called the MFJ1708SDR which no
If you get the RigPi make sure you order from MFJ so you can get a correct
cable for the K3s and a different one for KX3.
Its being sold as a “complete kit, all you need is your rig”, by some. Not
true.
Also be aware its pretty much plug and play on my Apple tablet. Windows takes

Curious, does this also turn the radio on and off on either of those?

That's because the K3(S) does not have a power ON command, you have to
tickle one of the ACC lines (pin 8 from memory, but check). When it's
powered down, very little is actually running internally.
I use a USB relay for this purpose (attached to the station computer)
for remote ops.
I've a
Rick, that is my impression as well, you need a USB relay of sorts.
Will wait a little longer for this to stick before I buy the MFJ1234.

Lou, I sometimes have this exact "multi-use of one knob" problem with the
K-Pod. I normally have it set to VFO A, but while running in contests I
might set it to RIT. Then it becomes muscle memory to use it to adjust RIT,
and if set to VFO A, I inadvertently QSY. So I've learned to keep the K-Po
Tom, Don,
Thanks! Win4K3Suite seems like a great option. From the video, if I
understood correctly, the MFJ switch splits the sending/receiving paths
such that the SDR play is used as the receiver, rather than the KX2. Is
there any impact to receiver performance? Can the KX2 noise rejection,

The KAT500 utility provides the means to set a VSWR threshold for Key Interrupt
either by individual band, or the same value for all bands.Selecting ALL,
entering 1.50 in the Amplifier Key Interrupt box, selecting Apply, results in
1.50 being set for all bands as expected. After the operatio
Adam,
As I understand it, the KX2 is the receiver for your normal operating.
The SDR play is the receiver for the panadapter only.
As far as transmit and receive are concerned, the KX2 should operate as
normal (although you can use the rig control portion of Win4K3 if you
want to control th

OK, so I'm not the most serious contester in the stable. But I did get a chance
to put my K4 through its paces in WPX for the first time, and had a blast.
Even though the "hard" controls of the K4 are very similar to those on the K3

Hi,
Don is perfectly correct. Since there is a splitter there is a 3dB or so loss
in the signal.
It's worth trying out. The latest releases also come with the EiBi shortwave
databases and will show the station info on the spectrum. It's amazing how many
shortwave stations are still out there a
Lucky guy you are. But really, interaction with the owner/designer is
something special. One of many things that go to making Elecraft,Elecraft.
And putting yourself behind the wheel gives us all confidence in the
product we buy. Thanks for your impressions.

Assuming the utility uses the ST command to set each band in turn then I
suspect the utility fails to set all bands because the test for the first band
being set correctly fails due to rounding errors. Once the test fails I suspect
no attempt is made to set the other bands.
