All:
I just had the synthesizer on my K3 stop working. It is the old style
synthesizer with a backplate (not necessary). Does anyone who upgraded
to the new K3S synthesizers have a a old style with or without
backplate that they would sell me? I know for sure it is the synthesizer.
I am using firmware 05.57 and I am tryng to use the command MP to write macro
to switch Microphone from LINEIN and FPH.
But I get response MP?
This macro I know was working before.it is very important because I work
JT65 and I would like to switch the way of the audio input (LINEIN and FPH)
Hi Tom,
sounds like a problem with either your antenna (or coax or connectors)
or maybe RF in the shack? A friend of mine had a similar problem (only
on 160 m) and it turned out the KAT500 picked up RF through one of the
cables connected that drove the KAT500 internal frequency counter nuts.

The K3's internal keyer does have a weight control which varies the
dot:space ratio. This is not the same as the Logikey's K parameter,
because the K lengthens the
elements by a constant amount

Part of the issue is in determining how to calculate the rise fall time of
the keyed envelope. This becomes more critical as CW rise/fall times
lengthen. Myself, I would calculate the keyed element length by referencing
the mid-point of the slope. K compensation

Have you noticed that the sidetone in the K3 sounds slightly heavier than
what is actually transmitted? In fact it's a little annoyingly heavy.
It does. I think this has to do with the slope of the transmitted RF that Paul
referred to.

Tks to all kind enough to reply. Either way seems to work fine.

Hi everyone -
need some advice please - at the K3 kit build stage of calibrating the
reference oscillator ( pg 50 of manual ) - once I get to config: REF CAL -
the readout on the display is like 42. 487.043 - - and the reading from the
frequency counter is 59.95
I need to adjust the
Many have replied off of the reflector to address this - many thanks and I will
recheck everything, including having the freq counter checked.
Also will call support desk tomorrow when I am with the rig as suggested by
Wayne. Another amazing testimony of the personal care given by the

I've seen PLL errors when there is an SMD resistor near the pem nut that has
been crushed by improper tightening, or lack of lock washer placed behind the
board. Look at your PCB, and see if you can find any cracked parts going up to
the TMP connetor output leading to the Sub rec. Synth
K3 #2252 Factory built, now adding KRX3. Do not want an exotic setup, just want
to listen on one frequency and transmit on another - same band, same antenna.
Completed installation with no problem, Used good static mat and wrist strap.
Uploaded latest firmware. Unsed Config Menu to initialize
