You must be a lot smarter than I am, I learned more about using my K3S from the Cady book than I did from months of ownership and manual reading. John WB5THT K3S, P3, SP3, KPA1500

It's a shame he won't be writing a guide for the K4 :-( John WB5THT

I highly recommend Fred Cady's K3 book,it will be the best money you ever spent to learn about a K3. Unfortunately Fred is a SK. John, WB5THT

I have the K3EXREF kit but I haven't installed it yet, maybe this would provide some guidance? What level is your 10Mhz signal?

Yes, there was thread drift in the thread I started. One of the issues with groups.io is its format - it's not like a traditional forum where moderation is easier and threads are displayed under one h

LCM multimeter? I think you mean an LCR meter? I have a couple of those. John WB5THT

Roger on the copper strap, that's why I used it at the tower (8' of two inch wide strap in the hole before concrete pour) and from my entrance panel to my central point of bond/ground in the shack. Jo

I faithfully followed the grounding and bonding recommendations in the ARRL book. My entrance panel is by KF7P, every conductor (even the SteppIR 16 conductor control cable) that enters the shack is s

Thanks to suggestions here and in emails I looked at my K3S options and to my surprise I had VOX and AntiVOX on - VOX was set to 23 and anti was set to 3. I think I was playing with VOX a long time ag

Thanks for the head's up Keith! It's great to know you guys are still doing repairs away from the office. My PC's Ethernet goes to a managed switch at the radio desk (which is fine.) My Internet main

It's very possible the USB failure on my K3 IO board was due to lightning, we do get some lightning here occasionally. All of the radio and PC equipment run off a large APC pure sine wave UPS - I was

I'll be there! I joined FB to hook up with my former AT&T colleagues at the ATT Network Design and Operations Center. It was a bunch of fun seeing familiar faces.

Wow, my thread took a 90 degree turn LOL. My K3S station (P3, KPA1500, SDA2000 Optimizer, Green Heron, LP500 station monitor, etc) are powered up 7x24. My K3 has had two confirmed problems in its life

No, it's not uSoft. I just looked at the website for Classic Shell and the original developer quit the project 12/2017. It's now called Open Shell and it's on GitHub. Classic Shell works fine though,

You can make Win10 more user friendly by installing Classic Shell (free) which replaces the standard menu, which I intensely hate. Classic Shell brings the familiar W7 menu back.

Think I have narrowed the problem down to W10 doing something with the sound card. I looked at the device properties and then all seems normal now. At this point I'm ruling out RFI or at least that's

I'll check those settings, thanks for the tip Bob. John WB5THT K3S, P3, SP3, KPA1500

The weird thing is my K3S, PC and WSJT-X were all happy (aside from some operational issues with the app) and playing together nicely since about mid-December. The fly in the ointment could be a Win10

Thank you Bob for the ideas. I just put the K3s into Tune and sure enough I was seeing the usual 20 watts (what I usually use with the amplifier) out on my station monitor so there's not an RF problem

I was guessing they are probably not accepting stuff for repair but I wanted to find out for sure. Thanks for the suggestions about WSJT-X being the root cause of the no transmit problem, I have indee
