[Elecraft] K3 - using KRX3 with P3

[Edward R. Cole]

I changed the subject line to fit my comments, better:

I have not seen the N2QY mods (not seen a link), so do not know what 
it does, but it seems one merely needs the IF brought out for the 
KRX3 (aux receiver) and that is easy, if you know how to use a soldering iron.

I did this to connect my K3 to a LP-Pan:

scroll down to the topic:
"Connecting K3 Sub-Receiver IF to LP-Pan".

You need a BNC jack, about 12-inches of RG-174 and a .001 uF disc 
ceramic cap (25v).  Adding a couple ferrite beads is suggested for 
shielding. 30-min to an hour to accomplish.

Its that easy.

Hi, Bill.

Yeah, I understand all that, but it just seems that having a second
receiver in the K3 but not being able to monitor it with the P3 sounds
like more of an oversight than simply the avoidance of a niche market.
After all, the N2QT modification is almost negligible in terms of cost,
and the software mod to CW Skimmer is so simple that even I was able to
figure it out before I ever saw the N2QT mod ... and I'm almost
illiterate software-wise.  I'd bet that most people with a KRX3 and a P3
wish they were capable of working together.
