| # K3/KX2/KX3 Control Panel

Menu–>Transceiver–>K3/KX2/KX3 Control

To use these advanced features, you have to select an Elecraft K3-Ctrl or KX3-Ctrl. There are minor differences between the K3 and the KX3 windows.

The frequency readout for VFO A/B is clickable. A click on a digit will adjust the VFO. Click in the upper part to increase, or click the lower part to decrease the frequency.

#### Quick Memories

Quick memories table can be found in the top-right. Pressing the + button saves a set of data consisting of the currently used frequency, mode, filter, RIT, XIT and split settings. Double click a row to send the data back to the transceiver. The data is not editable.

#### Shortcuts

You can use keyboard shortcuts when this window is in focus.

- 1 - 8 –> upper row of the macro buttons
- Cmd-1 - Cmd-8 –> lower row of the macro buttons
- F1 - F6 –> play memory 1-6 (KX3) or memory 1-4 & switch bank ½ (K3)
- Escape –> abort transmission
- Enter –> direct frequency input

#### Direct Frequency Input

Press Enter to tune VFO A, VFO B, or to set the split:

- VFO A: positive number in kHz > 100
  - 14195: VFO A tunes to 14195 kHz
- VFO B: negative number in kHz < -100
  - -21007.7: VFO B tunes to 21007.7 kHz
- Split: in kHz -100 to +100
  - 2: VFO B is set to VFO A plus 2 kHz

#### Macros

Use Edit to enter a macro button title or to edit the macros. Four additional macros can be automatically started after a mode change.

## Mini Controls

The control windows offer many possibilities, but require a lot of space on the screen. In the Transceiver menu you will find the Mini Control option. This opens a small window that allows all controls, only one more mouse click is required. This allows you to leave the control window on another screen, reduce it or minimize it.

## Panadapter

Menu–>Transceiver–>P3/PX3 Control

A separate control window controls the panadapter. You can change settings, download a screenshot, and the marker can be set using the mouse. Buttons are provided to duplicate the functions of the front panel FN keys. Keyboard keys 1-8 act as shortcuts for the FN keys.
