P3 Question

Tom McCulloch
Can the P3 be used with the K2?  If not is there something comparable
out there?

Thanks

K2  #1103
K3 - Nope

Re: P3 Question

Kevin Stover
If I'm not mistaken the P3 either does or soon will support the K2's 4.915Mhz IF.

The "problem" is getting that signal out of the radio.

K8ZOA at Clifton Labratories makes a buffer amp for doing just that. It's the Z10000B. I have installed one in my K2/100 and use an LP-Pan and computer to get a pan adapter display.

If the P3 supports the K2 Intermediate Frequency it should work...without LP-Pan and computer.

Tjhe current P3 goes down to an IF of 455 kHz, no need for ny P3
upgrades or modifications as long as the traneiver has an IF output.

Re: P3 Question

Vic Rosenthal
Keep in mind that a lot of functions of the P3 will only work with the K3 -- like QSYing
with the knob on the P3.

Also -- you will only be able to use the P3 in tracking mode, not fixed-tune mode, unless
the radio is a K3.

And... will it be able to display actual signal frequencies or will it display the IF
frequency? I think it will show the IF frequency.

I think that all of these features depend on RS232 communication functions that are not
implemented in the K2.
