Hallo Wayne et al, WOW! Congrats on what looks like a very nice radio! Before I start doing stupid things like filling out order forms and the like: 1) Do any of the options conflict with each other, i.e. if A is installed, then B can not be? 2) If the KRX3 is installed one would need two

Wayne, Looking at the available information am I right in thinking that by adding a sub-receiver I can use a common antenna for 15 and 10m and get separate audio via the rear stereo connector? This would be wonderful for digital modes as I could monitor two bands simultaneously. Obviously the

Few questions related to the new panadapter kit I'm working on: 1. What is the IF frequency at the K3's IF output port? 8.215 MHz 2. Is the K3's IF output port wideband (ahead of the roofing filter) or narrowband? Wideband. 3. Is the IF frequency sense inverted on some bands, as is the

I see that the back panel of the K3 has a 15 pin ACC jack. It looks like a video connector for a computer monitor? Is this what it is to be used for? Or is it more like the acc jacks on the back of my Yaesu which contain digital data, band data, FSK functions, 12v power, PTT, etc.? I'm drooling
