If you just punch the XMIT button it just puts the K3 into xmit with no RF out
but if you hold the XMIT/TUNE button for 2 seconds or so I will put out RF so
you can tune an amp or whatever. I find this an extremely useful function and
use both often. 73 Mike K4PI

Yes, you can do this if your amp is close by – and you remember to do it when
necessary. I use a couple of different amps and autotuners: The KPA500/KAT500
and an ALS-600/MFJ-998. I leave all au

Andrew,
The manual does not say anything about activating KEYOUT for a TUNE. It
does say that the K3 will transmit RF. I presume the intent is to allow
you to tune a manual antenna tuner.

Hi Andrew,
Are you able to key your amplifier when operating normally? There's really
no difference with the Tune button. It should key the amplifier the same
way. Remember that tune is achieved by holding the XMIT button.

I have noticed that when I hit tune the K3 goes to TX, however, it does not

I am trying to use the TUNE button to help provide a constant carrier, as I
always do, with my external Dentron tuner. Everything works great--except
it is exhibiting strange behavior on 15m. When I hit TUNE it won't hold the
TX 15W (what I have set as the output power). In fact, it shows 0W and

Steve,
You are correct that the FINAL tuning of an amplifier with adjustable L
and C controls should be done at full power, but I see no need for those
"pulsers" - do a preliminary adjustment with a low TUNE power, and then
do a quick "touch-up" at the full power level - that only takes a coupl

I recently acquired a tube amplifier and find tuning with a fast string of
dits works best. Of course I can use the built in keyer but I like the idea
of the tune button putting out dits instead of steady carrier. Is this
something anyone else would use? I use the tune button constantly for

Good thing Tom only does it from 8P, so he's protected from the FCC's wrath.
What do you expect from a phone op :.)

An antenna analyzer, such as the MFJ-259B, can do that well with no QRM.

If it were up to me, I'd want Elecraft to lock the frequency when in

When the TUNE button is engaged, are there settings that determine how
the radio responds? On my radios, depressing the TUNE button will
display the SWR. I would rather it displayed the frequency. I thought
that K5ZD's K3 did exactly that when I used it at WRTC. Although
somewhat impolite, I o
