FLTX{md} FL1 (all
modes)
Used to specify which crystal filter to use during TX. {md} = CW/SB/AM/FM.
Choose filters with bandwidths as follows: SSB, 2.7 or 2.8 kHz (also applies to
data); CW, 2.7 or 2.8 kHz; AM, 6 kHz; FM, 12 kHz or higher.The FM filter, if
present, must be installed in FL1.
Note: If you’re using a 2.7-kHz 5-pole filter for SSB transmit, you can optionally
fine-tune its FLx FRQ parameter to equalize LSB / USB transmit characteristics.
Monitor your signal on a separate receiver, using headphones.
FM DEV 5.0 (Advanced) FM deviation in kHz.
FM MODE ON If set to OFF, FM will be removed from the mode selections.
FP TEMP N/A Used to calibratethe front panel temperature sensor. It must be calibrated if you
wish to use the REF xxC menu entry to calibrate the optional 1 PPM TCXO. You
must convert °Fto °C in order to enterthe value. Deg. C =(deg. F–32) * 0.555.
FSK POL 1 0 = Inverted FSK transmit data polarity, 1 = Normal data polarity.
FW REVS N/A Rotate VFO A to see firmware revisions: MCU (uC), main DSP (d1), aux DSP
(d2, if KRX3 ispresent), flash parameters (FL), and KDVR3 controller (dr).
KAT3 Not Inst KAT3 ATU mode; normally set to BYP or AUTO (you can alternate between
these settings using the ATU switch). Modes L1-L8, C1-C8, and Ct are used to
test KAT3 relays. Mode LCSET allows manual adjustment of L/C/net settings.
When inthis mode, tapping ATU TUNE shows the L & C value; C is changed
with VFO A, L is changed with VFO B, and ANT toggles between Ca and Ct.
KBPF3
SUB
Not Inst If KBPF3 option is installed: set to NOR, exit menu, and turn power off/on.
KDVR3 Not Inst If KDVR3 option is installed: set to NOR, exit menu, andturn power off/on.
KIO3 NOR Determines function of BAND0-3 outputs on ACC connector. See pg. 19.
KNB3
SUB
NOR (Troubleshooting) The K3 can’t be used without a KNB3; Not Inst setting is
for troubleshooting only.
KPA3 Not Inst Set to PA NOR if KPA3 100-W amp installed. Set to PAIO NOR if KPA3 is
not installed, but the KPAIO3transition PC board is. Other settings include PA
BYP (disables KPA3 if installed),PA fan test settings (PA FN1-FN4 or PAIO
FN1-FN4), and PAIO BYP (if transition board is installed, but not the KPA3
module, this setting can be used to test the high power bypass relay).
KRC2 - - Controls the KRC2 band decoder’s accessory output settings. Shows ACC OFF
or ACC1-3 if a KRC2 is detected; - - if not.
To ensure compatibility with both old andnew KRC2 firmware, two different 6
meter band decodes are provided. Tap 1 to select BAND6=B6 (addr=10) or
BAND6=B10 (addr=9). Refer to the KRC2 manual for further details.
KRX3 Not Inst If KRX3 option (sub receiver) is installed, set the parameter to match your
selected sub receiver AUX RF source: ANT=ATU (the KAT3’s non-transmit
antenna) or ANT=BNC (the AUX RF BNC jack on the rear panel). Turn power
off,then back on.
KXV3 Not Inst If KXV3 option is installed: set to NOR, exit menu, andturn power off/on. This
option provides RX ANT IN/OUT jacks, low-level transverter I/O (XVTR
IN/OUT), and a buffered I.F. output.
If KXV3 is set to TEST, the K3 will use low power (0.10 to 1.50 mW) on all
bands, including HF and transverter bands. RF input/output isvia the XVTR
IN/OUT jacks in this case. Used for troubleshooting. Note:To accesstheTEST
setting, KXV3 must first be set to NOR, then K3 power turned off/on.
LCD TST OFF Changing the parameter turns on all LCD segments.
