. I guess I would have been really
disappointed before the improvements were made. The solution is a
work-around, not a solution. No where in the manual does it say that for
proper operation, the tuner must be left in MAN mode.
Very disappointing.

of a retune,
have the KPA500 go into keying bypass mode, and be left with 30 watts out
or less due to it trying to tune on every dit and dah.
Can this please be fixed so the KAT500 can be left in AUTO mode and only
initiate a retune when the SWR is truly above the retune threshold?
Respectfully,
Chad
My result? Probably #2 World, #1 USA, and a new USA SOHP record. Put
me down as another greatly satisfied K3 user.

I highly enjoyed the K3 as well. Looks like K3's are in #1 World SOHP (P49X),
#1 USA SOHP (W1UE), and #1 USA SOLP (WE9V). (All claimed.)

Lyle,
With the current (276/198) I am not able to adjust the sound card input for

the ticking/crackling seems
to make the TX signal wider, but that's only by earI don't have a scope.

to crank up the sound card output to max, and turn the LINE IN gain up to a
whopping 40 (60 is max). Even then, the same problem existed. Very low ALC
and not 100W power, and turning it up just a hair more to get 3-4 bars ALC
resulted in the ticking/distortion.

Okay, all good suggestions. Thanks Jim and Joe.
I didn't stop at just removing the RS-232 cable. I removed EVERY cable to
the K3 other than the single cable for audio in. (I kept the grounding
braid and antenna, but still tested using the TX TEST mode, no RF.)
Tried the FP mic connector.
All cables were removed, other than the LINE IN into the radio, including
the line out. Headphones were worn to listen to the monitor audio. (Okay,
so I didn't mention the headphones, but they are electrically isolated from
everything else.)

this to a fixed level so that we can record both
sides of the QSO without worrying about the FP volume control, and so
that it also works with digital modes (RTTY, JT6M, etc) correctly?

Has anyone gotten this to work with PTT-CW = RTS-DTR? Whenever I have
this set on the K3, no matter what setting I use on VSPE, the K3 keys
up. Sure would be nice if we could get CW and PTT keying to work
across several applications too.

The radio is in a state where it's waiting for you to load software.
Either try the same version, or back up a version or two and put that
in. Make sure that your serial cable is plugged in properly before
beginning.

Are you selecting the correct input for transmit audio (MENU: MIC
SEL)? Front panel (8-pin) vs. rear panel (3.5mm MIC jack) vs. LINE
IN?

According to the manual, page 68:
Rule #2: You can install any filter in any slot, and can leave any
slot empty in anticipation of installing a crystal filter there later.
However, you should install the widest filter closest to FL1, the next
widest to its left, etc. Here are two examples that

One of them said that the isolation is very poor between ANT1 and
ANT2, therefore you need the KXV3. It would be nice to have
Elecraft's clarification on this, because the FAQ seems pretty clear
and contrary to what other owners have said.
