Re: [Elecraft] K3: USB port
I can understand why a lot of old timers want to stay with serial port for the K3. Many people just don't like change. The simple fact is the world has moved on Something like 15 years ago. USB is the standard and a product like the K3 which In many ways is cutting edge should move on also. When was the last time you saw a new computer with serial port or a floppy drive? It can't be that hard to change to USB. There are plenty of $10 items that support it So it must be cheep. I figure it is a lack of will on Elecraft's part. As to the negative comments...Can't and won't never did anything.

I think putting the USB port in the K3 would open a Pandora's box re: drivers. If you're asking to just move the serial to USB adapter into the rig, there is NO gain. If you're asking to do away with serial port comms entirely and go to USB only, you're creating a huge hassle for the software authors, as well as opening a Pandora's box re: drivers for it. 73, Mike NF4L __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

[Elecraft] I Love This List
Well guys I have to say I Love This List. This list has taken what was a cloudy rainy Yucky day and gave me much enjoyment. We all know that the K3 isn't perfect but I Think we can all agree that it is a joy to Use. At least I love mine. It is the best I have ever owned in 35+ years as a ham. As far as Elecraft customer support is concerned, Anyone that has had to use it knows it has no Equal in the ham radio world. OK where's the koolaid?

[Elecraft] filters
I am getting ready to order a K3. I am having trouble Deciding which filters to order. I want to listen to the SW bands so am ordering the General coverage module. I Want either the 6 or the 13kc filters but not both. I Know if I order the 6 it will not work for FM but if I Order the 13 will be happy with it on am? Is there much advantage to getting the 2.8 8 pole Verses the 2.7 5 pole? Same with the 400hz 8 pole Vs the 500hz 5 pole.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 vs. Icom IC-7600
I still for the life of me can't understand why the K3 didn't Come with a USB port instead of the outdated com port. That is One reason I have not bought one yet. Maybe in a future mod They will address this.

You can run digital modes from the pc with only one USB cable which handles serial commands plus audio in/out. The sound card connection is no longer needed. Several users are running MixW in this fashion. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
