receive decode without TX decode, it works for me using paddles, not
tried it with a straight key or external keyer.

Some use DDD which is quite musical and I would prefer to SOS, were I around

I have had 2 failed encoders and am waiting for the second replacement. In my

Hi Jerry:
The encoders have a printed circuit board that has 10 leads attached
to the top of each and soldered into place. The top of the leads, in
some cases, are TOO LONG and may interfere with the DSP board above

A funny thing just happened. I went to turn on the K3 for the first time

Sorry, but I jumped the gun a a bit with my last post. I have now turned
the alarm off and normal behaviour has returned! I find it odd however that
the K3 should behave in that way, in that with an alarm set it is necessary
to remove external power in order to get the radio to turn back on
I think it would be a good idea if Elecraft would start checking
every encoder before shipping. It is VERY difficult to
disassemble/reassemble that front panel.
How about it, elecraft - can you start checking them there?
Also - do we need to be concerned that other components of the K3 are

Wire it to a seperate key, plug it in to the KX1 and see if you get the same

If so, then the problem probably *is* the jack is not going in far enough and
you'll need to back it out of the KXPD1 a bit...

The widest filter goes in FL1, the narrowest in FL5. It's OK to have

The same way as in voice and CW modes? They are linked to
