The weather has returned to normal: rain, more rain, and then rain
again. I may have seen the sun for an hour this week but that would be
exaggerating. The fog is fairly dense too; often slowing or blocking

Getting this message in the VFO-B area. Can't find reference to
the battery in the K3 Owner's Manual or KE7X's book.
Can somebody shed some light on this for me?

The weekly Elecraft SSB net meets tomorrow (Sunday, 3/9/14) at 1800z on 14.3035

Take a look at the transceiver front-end protector in the “Articles” section of
my website at www.ad5x.com. Very easy to build, and it is even fully QSK
capable.

I recently completed the assembly and calibration on a XV222 transverter. I
am using it with a K2.
When I finally put the top cover in place I noticed that the output power
was jumping around. Initially I thought that one of the connecting cables
were not properly seated or maybe the output ca
Hi,
For those of you that downloaded the latest release since yesterday, Murphy's
Law struck again...the buttons for the ATU - KPA section were not working in
the "Mini" screen.
There is a new version 1.501 with the correction.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

The problem I had with the WKremote solution is that it sends a letter
at a time. It has to wait for you to key a complete letter before it
sends it over the network to the remote site. This results in strange
spacing - it takes longer to key in a '6' than it does to send a 'N',
so, e.g., my callsi

I'm amazed that works at all, for two reasons. One is, what do you do
with the RX line to the K3? It can't just connect in parallel to the TX
lines from both the P3
Hi David
If you mean how to set-up the Winkey Server/Client there is a very well written

It is indeed very easy and simple to set up if you follow that document. It did

Hi all,
Trying to maximize the use of my one P3 by switching between 2 K-3s. I use 2
separate switch boxes-one for the RS232 serial cable and one for the if cable.
I use a Y connector onthe RS232 out from K-3. One side goes to the switch box,
the other goes to computer for N1MM control.

Hi,
I wish to ask for a firmware change that would keep the KPA500 un-keyed
until the tune button is released on the K3 after the KAT500 has
completed a tuning cycle. I have the tuning power set to 15 W on the
K3, which ends up as 300 W out if I have forgotten to put the KPA500 to
standby bef
What an astonishing idea! I have hesitated to make a remote station because
of the latency problem, but this will encourage me to look further. Do you

Hi,
I have two K3s running equally on one band in SSB. If transceiver A
transmits, transceiver B should be muted to protect the RX of transceiver B.
When in SSB and a microphone connected and just pressing the PTT, you
