The most important feature of a bug isn't that the operator determines
the length of the dahs. It is the mechanical feedback that the operator
gets which (in the right hands) makes possible the rhythmic sending that
can be so pleasing. No keyer emulation can possibly provide that.

If Elecraft is considering making parts of their radios open
source, the keyer logic seems the best place to start. I have
seen more requests for tweaks to keyer logic than any other part
of the radio.

Hi Gang, M
I just plug my bug into the key jack on the side and configure the jack as a
hand key in the menu. I've found that the electronic bug emulations in keyers
sound terrible on the air when I try to use them. I can at least generate
reasonably decent CW with my real bugs.

Has anyone configured the keyer to "bug" or used a PicoKeyer for similar?

Hi Gang,
My 1940s vintage Hammarlund speaker from my original 1968 Novice station does a
great job for me with the K3, plus adds a bit of nostalgia to the signals ...

I guess my hearing is to the point where the speakers don't matter as much as I
use the cans mostly.

Hi folks ,
I use a couple of models from West Mountain Radio. I have used them for

The quality is excellent and the size good for home and portable. No noises at

Hi Eric,
I can't see how to set the transverter settings on the K3, so that I have

Not worried about the size of speakers, I use a pair of Behringer MS40
amplified speakers. They are two channel input (left and right each)
with an on-board amplifier. There appears to be no sensitivity to RF.
You can plug earphones directly into the speakers - and there are
controls for bass/t

Well, I have to put in my 2 cents worth. First off, putting a carrier on the

The reason is simple, if it is a new antenna you have no idea what the R and X

Hi Trevor,
If the seller has no documentation you would have to pop it open and spend
some quality time doing research. Or just assume that none have been
performed and then the price you pay should reflect you're having to

For those curious about Phonema¹s matching speaker for the K3, I contacted
the seller in the UK to ask what the shipping cost would be to the U.S.

If you just punch the XMIT button it just puts the K3 into xmit with no RF out
but if you hold the XMIT/TUNE button for 2 seconds or so I will put out RF so
you can tune an amp or whatever. I find this an extremely useful function and
use both often. 73 Mike K4PI
