Greetings all,
I just finished my upgrades to my K3 (DVR, some new filters, several of

The filter has been sold. Thanks!

W7OTV will have at least two and possibly more K3s on the air. WS7L and
several others will be working CW, while I (AD7OG) will be running
digital (at least PSK31 and RTTY) on mine.
At present the SSB stations plan to use lesser rigs :-)

Instead of RS232 or USB to the computer how about an Ethernet port?

Greetings all,
I'm getting pretty close to the time I'm expecting to see a Katiegram,
and I'm thinking about adding either the TCXO or the 6KHz filter to my
order.
I do a lot of PSK-31 and I'm wondering if most folks find the stock
oscillator sufficiently stable for digital or if the TCXO is
My turn at last...
Order placed 19-APR-08
Katiegram received 20-AUG-08

For what it's worth, the delivery person did not collect a
signature...just left the box behind a planter, rang the bell and ran.

Excellent documentation, I never had any question if I was doing the

I just applied the latest beta firmware as I have done many times
before, and it looks like this time my power calibration went out the
window. I'm putting out about 70w on PSK31 when I dialed in 45.

After reading about the TXG VCE parameter I reloaded MCU 2.73/DSP 1.98
and attempted to adjust the gain back to a reasonable level. By setting
TXG VCE to -3.0 dB I came close to my requested power output on the K3's
meter, when set to 40w I get between 4-5 bars on the graph. This is

I'm wondering if this is related to the increase in drive on DATA-A mode

Hi all, so I just got back in town last night, and I wanted to get my
new KIO3B installed in s/n 1544 so I could give it a run during 7QP.
Assembly went smoothly enough and the "Y" cable to the P3 seems to be
doing its thing just fine.
But my Windows 10 computer isn't talking to the K3 or the

There are monitors on the market that have PbP (Picture beside Picture)

display which can display two, three or four inputs on-screen at once.
Since it's a 4K display when four inputs are shown each one still gets

I'm pretty sure I've seen something about this before. I just got my

When my KAT500 started acting strange I opened it up. There are two
thick, green insulated wires that cross each other on the PCB, and the
top one had sagged down and got close enough to the bottom one that it
had arced through the insulation. I'm guessing I had a less than
optimal match! An

I'd suggest 1440x900, and 1680x1050 as they are common for
less-expensive widescreen displays.

My beloved K3 #1544 has developed a disturbing malady, the front panel
buttons seem to be dying off. Each time I try to use the rig another
one or two have bitten the dust. Switch test mode confirms they are no
longer being read by the radio.
Anyone seen this before? Waiting now on a price f
For the benefit of the list, at the suggestion of several folks here I
removed the FP and cleaned the contacts with Deoxit. Re-assembled and
all keys/buttons now work perfectly.
It appears to me that it might have been a good investment to use
gold-plated header pins and sockets for the front
;m up and running.
My only comment would be that installing the KXV3a would be a little
easier if PEM nuts were used with the back panel screws, that one down
in the corner is tough to reach with a lockwasher and nut...
Now I have something new to play with over the holiday.

Mike,
The Prolific cable always worked for me on Windows XP but when I
upgraded to Win 7 I could not find a driver that would not blue-screen
the system. The new FTDI cable works great with all software I've
tried, including N1MM.
