KRC2 - - Controls the KRC2 band decoder’s accessory output settings. Shows ACC OFF
or ACC 1-3 if a KRC2 is detected; - - if not.
To ensure compatibility with both old and new KRC2 firmware, two different 6
meter band decodes are provided. Tap
1 to select BAN D6=B6 (addr=10) or
BAN D6=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 or KXV3A option is installed: set to NOR , exit menu, and turn 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. The updated KXV3A supports the
internal 2-m module (K144XV).
If KXV3 is set to
TES T , the K3 will use low power (0.10 to 1.50 mW) on all
bands, including HF and transverter bands. RF input/output is via the XVTR
IN/OUT jacks in this case. Used for troubleshooting. Note: To access the TEST
setting, KXV3 must first be set to
NOR , then K3 power turned off/on.
LCD TST OFF Rotating VFO A to turn on all LCD segments for test purposes.
LIN OUT NOR 010 Sets the LINE OUT level. LINE OUT connections go to PC soundcard inputs.
Settings above 10 may result in overdrive of the soundcard or saturation of the
KIO3’s isolation transformers; monitor signals using the PC to avoid this.
Note: Normally, LIN OUT sets a fixed-level receive-only output for main/sub
(L/R), compatible with digital modes. Tapping
1 switches LIN OUT to
=PHONES, where the line outputs match headphone audio, audio level is
controlled by AF/SUB gain controls, and both RX and TX audio are available.
MACRO x Function Used to assign macros (sequences of remote-control commands) to any of the
K3’s programmable function switches. For example, a single macro can do the
equivalent of “SPLIT, up 2 kHz, turn on diversity mode”; setup transmit EQ for a
specific operator; configure the K3 for a contest, etc.
Macros must first be created using K3 Utility and sent to the K3. Next, locate the
MACRO x menu entry, tap
1 - 8 to select a macro number (x), then hold the
desired programmable switch (e.g. P F 1 ) to assign that macro to it. For details, see
K3 Utility help or the K3 Programmer’s Reference.
MEM 0-9 NOR If the parameter is set to BAN D SEL , frequency memories 0-9 (“quick
memories”) will act like band switches. Once this mode has been selected, exit
the menu, then use
V M to assign individual bands to keypad switches 0-9. For
example, use B A N D to get to 160 m, tap V M , then tap # 1 . From then on,
tapping M V , then # 1 , will take you to your last-used frequency on 160 m, just
as if you had used the B A N D switch.
This menu entry also controls the behavior of memory recall ( M V ) when
selecting memories 00-99 using VFO A:
Normally, when you tap M V , rotating VFO A through memories 00-99
switches the receiver to the indicated frequency as soon as the VFO stops moving.
You can change this behavior by tapping
1 in the MEM 0-9 menu entry. This
alternates between M>V NOR (“live” memory recall) and M>V DLY
(“delayed”). In the latter case, the receiver will not switch to new frequencies
until you tap
M V to return to normal operation.
