Does work the contact form?
Obviously that’s why they recommend only using about 2 watts output (10 watt unit) on the Ukrainian transverter. Guess that is supposed to keep the IMD down to a manageable level.

You can buy the Ukrainian 2 meter transverter for 80 dollars on eBay. It should just tie right in to transverter inputs on K3. Just my thoughts De Bill WW5M

K3 shutting off SN 2963

K3 Transmit on 160 meters
Is the VOX turned on, Are you sure your in data mode and not in RTTY. Radio likes to swap modes when you change bands or power back up!

K4 vs Flex
I still love my 2 K3 radios and have no intention on selling them anytime soon. I have all the upgrades, so I’m pretty well set. I looked at the K4 , but I also looked at the Flex. I purchased a 6600

Factory service still available?
Most lightning damage I’ve seen comes from the antennas. A good ground and lightening arrestor system is important, but I still leave my antennas disconnected. I also use APC ups and plug strips with
