Here is how I tune with the KAT500:
1. Make sure the K3 tune power is set at 25W.
2. Select the frequency you are going to operate at.
3. Set the KAT500 output port by tapping the ANT button.
4. If you are using a KPA500 put it in standby.
5. Hold the XMIT button on the K3 to activate the K3 tune
I'm using the KAT500 here with a multi-band NVIS loop for MARS on
port one and several other antennas on port 2 which has switched
antennae on it. Some of the antennae on port 2 are in the same range
as the MARS antenna, but the KAT500 very smoothly handles the tuning
correctly on both ports.

You have to search for EE INIT with the space.

Good advice, Peter.
Nothing less than LMR600 should be used for feed lines at 2m and
70cm. Naturally if you're really interested in VHF/UHF work, some
sort of hard-line is better.
Another thing I recommend:
Never, ever use a regular multi port switch box for VHF/UHF. Make
one your self usin

The K3 can be opened up, but I believe you must have a USA ham

I use an M2 18XXX 18 element. It's very long. I think it's 32 feet

For omni directional horizontal polarization I use a pair of M2

If I were new to the use of solid state VHF/UHF amps I would make

I use TE Systems amps with the K3 and XV432 in the shack, but as

The first thing I noticed was what seemed to be faster response time
for the noise and signal peaks, which is an improvement.

It makes working CW Pile-ups a breeze. I can't say how it does on
SSB pile-ups, because I've never been in one.

I sent CODAR a message and a screen capture from the P3 yesterday.
The president of the company said the signature of the RF signal was
not from their radar. He was very helpful, saying that if I could
send him a recording of it he might be able to help find out what it
is.

In your original post you say that you turned on the KPA100 in the
K3. You should have the KPA100 turned off when using the KAT500. The
KAT100 is not needed when using the KAT500.
Make sure that when you are tuning with the KAT500 the TUNE POWER is
set to 25W. Below 20W will not give an accurat
I have experienced this, but my lock-ups occur when tapping the

It's never stopped doing that, so now as a work-around, I tap the

My K3 has started displaying 10.9v on the LCD. I know what to do
about that.
But when the BAT LOW warning is displayed at the bottom of the
display, does that tell me that the input voltage to the rig is low,
or does it indicate that the internal battery is low?

Check the addresses of your local AM radio broadcasters. You may

Here's a way to find where and who the broadcaster is.
If you have an AM radio in the house compare the signal on the KX3

communications on MARS.
