You will need the KXV3 or -3A to bring out the IF to the P3. The KXV3A is necesary only if you are running the K144XV internal 2m transverter. There is also a mod listed that increases the IF output to a level that's best for the P3. You can find the mod under K3 Mods and App Notes on the www.el

Ross the only way I can simulate that behavior on my P3 is by disconnecting the P3 to K3 cable. Doing so causes the bootloader screen to come up immediately when trying to do a ref lvl adjustment. You may have a loose cable or pin not making connection? Larry K1UO Ross-33 wrote: > > Jim
