The problem is that the forward and reflected powers cannot be read
simultaneously. So if the forward power is read when the power is low,
and the reflected power is read when the power is higher, an erroneous

made BUSY by the 1st application, and cannot be used by any other until
that application releases the port.
In other words, it is a problem with the computer enforcing the one
application at a time using the COM port.

to do that. Pick your mounting
location carefully before drilling to be sure it will not interfere with
anything in the KX3.

That is exactly right. The KAT500 manual explains it.

I believe I heard of this "problem" before. It needs to be addressed

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.

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.

The new website has a few wrinkles that are in the process of being

You don't have to put the pullup resistor right at the ACC connector, it
can be (and should be) near the contacts which control the open/short

It was comforting on a cold winter's morning to hear that sheet metal

Vicenç Llario, EA3ADV. That link was written for
receiving RWM at 9996.00 kHz which transmits only a carrier, but can
also be applied to the carrier of WWV. Note that it is more complex
than using the WWV tones.

Why try to connect the wire or braid directly to the ground lug?
Soldering a lug onto the end of a wire or braid makes it "oh so easy" to
attach.
