Re: [Elecraft] FTDI to serial adapter for K3 with Windows 7

I use Windows XP Home on the shack computer and have the same effect on boot up, I do not onw a K3 but it cycles the PTT on my Elecraft K2 & KX3, also my Icom IC7000. As a matter of interest and out of curiosity I have just booted up my Raspberry Pi 2 system and it does not activate the PTT.

Re: [Elecraft] Mew Microkeyer addition to K3

but what about the ACC connector when I'm using the KPA500 and KAT500 ??? You will want one of the Elecraft DB15HD "Y" cables to enable FSK and PTT(2). I suspect one of those tiny transformers is bad. so will have to engage Elecraft to get a spare K3IO board (maybe a K3IOA..) Check the RF

Robert, The KAT500 can select 1 of 3 antennas for any band. All you need to do is select the antenna of interest from the Front Panel - no computer required. KAT500 Utility can make the setup of the various bands and antennas easier than doing it manually. That does require a computer,

Re: [Elecraft] Speech bord for any of the Elecragt rigs?

Re: [Elecraft] [Bulk] Re: KX3 Internal soundcard

Myself, I would prefer not to lose my 2m capability. There seems to be more extra space inside the PX3 cabinet for options, if you don't mind being tied to a PX3. I don't necessarily need an internal sound card. I'm very happy with the external soundcard I use with my notebook computer.

[Elecraft] K2 and NaP3 IF offset values

I've been using my K2 with LP-Pan and NaP3 for a few months on the lower bands and just recently got on 20 and 15 meter CW with it. I found that the offsets you specify in NaP3 were considerably different on 15, 12 and 10 meters while that for 20M was just a bit off from the lower bands. 17M

Re: [Elecraft] K2 and NaP3 IF offset values

For bands below 15m, the K2 sets the VCO so that the LSB image from the first mixer falls within the crystal filter, however for 15m and 10m it uses the USB image (since VCO only goes up to 24MHz or so). When you are in CW mode, you want the baseband to be LSB. This means for 80m-17m, you need

[Elecraft] K3 feature request - Stop the KAT500 Relay Switch in Split

The KAT500 relay switch over between two in-band segments is driving me nuts. A lot of DXpeditions on 160 use 1823.0Khz for transmit listening up 1-5khz. Every time the K3 goes from A RX to B TX, and back again, it involves a cur-chunk from the KAT500 whether the tuner is in Auto or Manual.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 and NaP3 IF offset values

Floyd, Rather than centering the signal on a CW signal, center it on the carrier of an AM signal. A CW signal should display offset from the center by the amount of your sidetone pitch. The K2 uses high side VFO injection for bands below 15 meters. For 15 meters and above, it uses low

One of the items on my future projects list is a small box which would plug into the left side of the KX3 and intercept all the plugs there. My desire for such a box comes from my habit of switching to a band and looking for signals with the PX3. When I see an interesting signal, I switch to

Re: [Elecraft] K2 and NaP3 IF offset values

I suspect that the difference I saw in the offset for 20M was indeed due to a different filter selection. If I center the signal on the NaP3 indicator using my most-often-used 400 Hz filter, advancing through subsequent narrower filters I see just a bit of movement of the signal relative to the

Understood. If you use CW-R on 15m & 10m, then that will help you match up the BFO frequency on those bands, as again the BFO will be placed on the low side of the crystal filter pass band, although the  pitch you hear as you tune up the band will go high to low instead of low to high. To
