As Don, W3FPR has just suggested, a comprehensive owners manual for the K2
would be nice to have. As a model, the newly released “The Elecraft K3”
Design, Configuration, and Operation by Fred Cady, KE7X is a great example to
follow. Fred did a great job and should be and bought by all K3
I thought there was a K2 manual listed there also! 73 Geo/W2BPI

I worked them on cw, 17 meters, using a 3 el steppir at 36 feet.
I have the sub recvr, so I was able to track his method of operations and had
no
problem working him.
However, on RTTY, that's been another story.
Actually, have no way (or haven't figured out a way) to copy RTTY on the sub.

Lee, for chasing DX, the beauty of the KPA500 is instant-on, no-tune, auto
bandswitch. ST0R and VK9HR have appeared on
NoAlOx is available at Home Depot and probably many others, excellent
suggestion, highly recommended. 73, Jim

2 Bands RTTY, 3 bands CW including a 6m QSO with my 3el steppir.
May even shoot for another amp.
I will really know after the weekend how it really holds up during IOTA contest.
At the Mo it's so so so quiet you don't know it on.
Working during a contest is another matter and I wouldn't
Got him on 6 bands (40-12) from NW Texas, all cw using KPA500 #172.
Haven't heard them yet on any other bands.

If you're using MMTTY for RTTY, it's easy to copy RTTY on the subreceiver.
Install a separate copy /instance in a folder separate from the initial
installation. Run a stereo cable from LINE OUT to the sound card and set
the main receiver's MMTTY to use the left channel and the subreceiver's
MMTTY
Howdy Gang:
Looking over the picture (drooling over my keyboard at the same time--grin) and
saw that the lowest roofing filter selectivity position was 500hz.
Will the DSP filtering in the KX3 go below that level, i.e., to 50hz ala the
K3???
73,
Bob,
One kluge is to set L-MIX-R to Ab Ab and LIN OUT = Phones
You'll get both the main and sub audio on one channel.
It does require riding the main/sub AF gain control at times.
I use this with my DXP38 TNC.
One can usually ID the station being worked by copying the 5nn they send
by ear
The KX3 will have the same WIDTH range as the K3 (down to 50 Hz). It
will also have an APF filter function (audio peaking filter) for CW,
with a dedicated switch to turn APF on/off. APF is especially useful
for a low-power radio that may find its way into QRP contests, where
many CW
very nicely..

Hello,
Can WWV at 10 MHz be copied on the K3 without the KBPF3 General Coverage Module?
Thanks

Yes. You can also copy it at 5, 15, and 20 MHz without the KBPF3.

Yes, if the WWV signal at 10 MHz is decent. The receiver sensitivity is
reduced outside of the ham bands without the KBPF3 module but it still tunes
and receives those frequencies.

I use top run 600w with my 2m-8877 running on a HV PS that ran on
120vac. As I recall voltage drop was about 5vac, but my house is
wired with 12ga wiring. When I switched to a bigger PS that could
provide enough to run 1.5kW on the 8877 I ran 240vac to the shack
using about 35 foot of 8-4
Anyone have a KXV3 they would like to sell? Don't need the A version.

FWIW, I try and use 10 MHz as a last resort for zero-beat. The house is
filled with 10 MHz clocks from various electronic appliances, all of them
being nowhere near WWV accuracy so it can make zero beat adjustments
difficult, depending on the incoming signal strength. However, when I make
a

Rich,
Suggest you look into silicone hose repair tape for the coax connection.
Electrical tape tends to unwrap and/or leave a messy residue. This stuff can
be found in the garden hose section. It's a bit more expensive, but does a
great job. I've wrapped my Steppir Boots with it, great UV
The 10-MHz ham-band filter is definitely wide enough to provide
adequate MDS at 10 MHz. The same goes for the 14 MHz filter at 15 MHz,
and the 5.3 MHz filter at 5.0 MHz.

Wayne

I recently sold all my heavy metal - Valiant II, 51J-4 and CE 200V. I
operate AM quite a bit. SO, today I gave the K3-KPA500 its first test on AM.
Operated several hours and received glowing reports on the signal quality
and modulation from some old timers. Said it sounded like plate modulation?

Last night and tonight working cw on 40 meter for about half hour the KPA500
kicked out of operate.No respose changing to standby or operate. I had

Anyone using this combination?
