Bill, W2BLC,
What is the VSWR of your antenna at 3.965? Is the KAT500 stable with 100
watts? That would be a big clue to what is going on. Any tuner's
power-handling capability decreases as VSWR rises.

Does anyone know whether Tom, N6BT is still making antennas? Has anyone been
able to contact him recently?
I e-mailed Tom five days ago to order one of his Bravo 7K verticals for my

It may have been mentioned before, because I come late to this thread. But,

There is actually a pre-beta release 1.11 that fixes these issues. Send an

Also, you should run K# firmware 4.39.

Can anyone out there remind me of what I need to set to get my new K3 to

The problems I was having with my K3, no output in data modes and no KEY OUT,

Yesterday, I did the following mods for my K3 #384, running FW 3.99:

I was scrupulous about ESD precautions, using a wrist strap and anti-static mat.

Hello out there,
Yesterday a friend asked me to give him a contact on 30-meter RTTY. I had

I'm running version 3.27/2.25 on K3 #384. I live in a high noise suburb of
NYC. When I tap the NR button, the noise just about disappears, and the
signal remains, SSB or CW. Magic!
The difference is more noticeable on SSB, of course, because I usually have
the pass band set to 500 Hz for CW.
I'm having a problem of low power output on SSB on 40 meters. Call for 100
watts, get 50 or less peak on LP-100 watt meter.
Reinstalled FW 3.04, calibrated K3 watt meter, calibrated TX GAIN using the
K3 utility and an OHR 100 watt dummy load. Problem remains.
