| There are a variety of reports on doing this ranging from it being impossible to
| no changes are required. In my experience it runs perfectly and is a joy to
| use. There is only one difference between using Apple Silicon and any other
| Mac.

| My setup is:

| The only unusual requirement is that the instructions for changing the memory
| size given in the software instructions will not work for M1 Macs. Instead you
| use the following commands in the terminal:

| sudo sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmmax=104857600
| sudo sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmall=25600

| The command

| sysctl -a | grep sysv.shm

| will verify that the change is made. At the moment the above must be done on
| each reboot.

| That's it, otherwise it works just as it does on an Intel Mac. I have my serial
| port set for 38,400 baud, 8,2,none and am running full CAT control with rig
| split enabled.

| It appears as of today, January 7, that the Fldigi folks are still working on a
| version that will work on Apple Silicon. In my testing the latest standard Mac
| version would not load.

| Good Evening,

| ?? I saw a large ball of burning gas in the sky today.? Then I realized
| it was the sun.? How soon we forget.? This sight was buffered by the
| stiff wind and chilly temperatures.? Smells like snow.? Good day for a
| hike.? I took a path quite less taken, steep in fact.? I found elk sign
| while checking the perimeter.

| ? The sun has been blank.? Six days now without a spot.? I thought we
| had passed that portion of the cycle.? Solar flux has dropped to 75
| sfu.? But the former sunspot area is due to reappear soon.? The auroral
| has increased since I last noticed.? Our ionosphere is getting excited;
| must be the CW contest activity.

| Please join us tomorrow on:

| 14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday? (2 PM PST Sunday)
| ?7047 kHz at 0030z Monday? (4:30 PM PST Sunday)

| Hello all,

| I would like to have PTT out signal from my K3 that is ONLY activated when the
| internal K144XV transverter is transmitting. I thought I might use the KRC2
| with the K7MDL mod where the 8R signal is used to generate a band specific PTT
| output. The problem: where do I find an 8R or equivalent (I guess 5R will do)
| signal on the exterior of the K3? Can a pin on the ACC connector be used for
| this purpose?

| BTW, I tried building a small interface that activates the amp PTT when a 5V
| shows on the transverter output. Problem: 5V is on transverter output when K3
| transmit on any band.

| Other ideas?

| Thanks,

| Good Evening,

| Both bands were surprisingly strong.? Low noise with little QSB was very
| pleasant.? I had to reduce my gain as each net went on. Cool weather
| everywhere which fits the season.? Most reported stay at home tasks
| which also fits.? I expect to leave the house later this week for the
| first time this year.? I have worked from home off and on since the
| '70s, it has gotten much easier.

| The lack of sunspots did not seem to matter.? Signals were very clear.?
| I can't find an image of the back side of the sun.? An active area
| slipped over the limb about two weeks ago.? It is due to return any time
| now.? Hopefully it did not dissipate along the way.

| ? On 14050.5 kHz at 2200z:

| I suspect that K2 SN is below 3000. If so, add the Alternate AF Gain
| Wiring mod. While you are doing that, I recommend that you replace the
| AF Gain control.

| The easiest way to change the control is to cut the pins close to the
| body, then alternately heat the two mounting tabs while rocking the pot
| to remove the control. Remove the pins one at a time, clean up with
| solder wick and if solder remains in the holes, push it out with a
| wooden toothpick.

| Martin,

| I have not done it, but the major problem I see is the question of "how
| to get the signal inside the enclosure". There is precious little room
| on the rear panel. You could go through the right side panel depending
| on how you locate the oscillator with respect to the transverter.

| Could the P3 be in DispTest mode?

| Select Menu, the rotate the knob to ;this setting. Needs to be Off for normal

| You could first check if you get stable connection using the
| PX3-utility. If that does not work, it could be an unstable power supply
| issue (0,5A ~12V required).

| Otherwise I suppose there is a loose connection inside of the P3. You
| could check the cable from the main board to the display. The manual has
| a section about replacing the display with useful pictures (fig 25&26).

| Firmly wiggling the cables (for the 3rd time) resolved the problem.
| Something is probably loose inside. Thanks to those who responded for the
