Of course the other side of the story is that a good many of the
distant stations being worked by the QRP station have large Yagis up high.
Those Yagis are doing the job for both parties.

Not always, some people like working QRP 2 way, especially where both ends
are using simple antennas, so to say it is a good many of the contacts
being between QRO with large antennas to QRP with small, would not be
telling the whole story...

Actually, the crystal filters have two purposes:
1) Eliminate the 15 KHz image that would otherwise be a problem
2) As Don said; however, it's the 2nd mixer that needs more protection than the

This is going to be fun little radio despite being a 15-year-old

I noticed one thing that I wanted to ask the assembled experts here:
When peaking the TX BPF capacitors, there was a perceptible and

Ethan,
The reason you are to first tune the BPF during receive is to get them
close to the correct settings.
You should find the peak during transmit close to the peak observed
during receive.
Certainly some of the BPF inductors and capacitors could be tuned to an
improper mixer product if
One thing I would like to add is the fact that Stan and I both worked 3DA0US

Don,
Great---thanks for the explanation! This is exactly the procedure I
followed, but I did inadvertently move beyond the peak on the high
bands---those caps are a bit touchy. I resolved it by doing just as
you suggested and the peak was easily achieved. Just noting the
curiosity, that's all.
If I recall correctly (traveling to Orlando), I use the Y cable provided by
Elecraft to connect the KAT500 and the KPA500 which are stacked. One
connector of the Y remains unconnected. I can provide more detail on
Sunday if needed.

Hi Chuck,
Shorter cables are available. I use a 1 ft one. I don't recall
where I got it but possibly L-Com as I buy from them quite often.
You don't need the Y but potential uses within the Elecraft
line are with the KRC, XV's and the PR's. Band data from

I got tired of waiting for Elecraft to come up with a good external speaker for
the K3. So I bought a TenTec model 307B, 4 ohm speaker. It sounds fantastic.
The enclosure is black just like the K3’s. Oh but it features the Ten Tec logo
on the front that looks like an abomination to Elecraft
Yes on the breakout box. I don't have a need right now but I would grab one
anyway for that just in case scenariogrin

I myself would not want Elecraft to spend one second developing a product
that is already available elsewhere. To really make use of the K3's
abilities you want stereo speakers and ones with Bose on the front do the
job very nicely!

I'd like this, too. I know it's only 3 dB, but there are contests that
define the low power class as 150 watts or less. Some amplifiers
require more than 100W drive for full output. And of course the US
regulations allow 200W on 10 MHz.

The K3 speaker issue comes up from time to time. Why not just buy the stock
K3 speaker and make a nice box for it. Play with the baffle a bit and it
would probably sound pretty good. I think the issue with the built in
speaker is its vertical orientation and poor enclosure.

Hi to the group
I think I have an easy solution to the problem indicated here. The first
problem may be the hinges of the paddles. I took a fine wire out of an audio
cable and put one end under the screw on each paddle. I looped and soldered
this wire to the ground terminal of the connector to

I don't know who made these for RS, but they were very popular in their
day among audio pros as a reasonably good small speaker.

If I recall correctly, there two versions of the Minimus 7's. One was a
wood case and the other a nice, heavy, metal case. I always felt the
metal cased variety was a better speaker.
I used them for casual monitoring in a radio station production room.
