[Elecraft] KX3 doesn't like sand

Was operating off Southwold on the beach Saturday and wind blown sand got into my KX3 #1082... only solution was qrt and disassemble and clean when got it home. http://m1kta-qrp.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/southwold-2014.html No lasting damage it would seem but took ages to get rid of all the sand

Jim, None that I know of, but the manual is straight-forward, just follow through the assembly steps and you should not have a problem. If there is something you do not understand, just ask on this reflector and you are likely to get help quickly. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/1/2014 5:19 PM, Jim

[Elecraft] K3 FSK D low tones?

2014-02-03 Thread Brian Alsop
2KHz is getting a bit above my hearing range. I wonder if there is a way to do low tone FSK-D @1275 Hz mark. Not interested in AFSK. I suppose the center frequency of the filter would have to be reset as well as the dual tone filter. 73 de Brian/K3KO - No virus found in this message.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 FSK D low tones?

2014-02-03 Thread Jim Sheldon
Hi Brian, Sure -- All you have to do is be in FSK-D mode, press hold the SPOT (pitch) button. Use the main tuning knob to set the mark tone you want and exit out of it. Works just fine and all the standard tones are available in the menu. Jim - W0EB I just checked it to make sure it works.

Thanks to Jim, W0EB. It's already in there. Just change the pitch while in the FSK-D mode. In N1MM, if you're using a DXP38 modem, it is simple to change the mark setting to match. Works! Now the audio signals are not attenuated by many dB. 73 de Brian/K3KO On 2/3/2014 18:46, Brian

Bill, One thing you might want to check is your menu setting for VFO CRS (VFO Coarse Tuning). You could set that to 500 Hz for SSB - it is a per band setting. That may not help with your request about the SPOT button, but it may be a good substitute. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/2/2014 4:30 PM,
