Re: [Elecraft] Internal Speaker Problem

First question: Did you plug in the speaker lead to the connector on the KIO3 board in the rear of the box before you replaced the screws? I use external speakers and I forgot this step sometime last spring. Didn't realize it until Field Day when we do use the internal speaker. Don't

Re: [Elecraft] K1 (still) a classic!

Ah, ok, thanks. I'll not worry about it then. I did locate a flat blade jewelers screwdriver in my parts box that fits and rotates them, so I think I'll be OK. Support said to be sure to obey the orientation with the flat side, which I'll certainly do. Sure hope this doesn't deep six the kit

Re: [Elecraft] K1 (still) a classic!

Ok thanks for the info, Don. I've actually been having success with a slightly different method for the ones on the tops of the cans. What I do now is form the lead and put it in place through the grounding hole (a spare anti-stat foam pad under the RF board for them to stick into helps). Then,

Re: [Elecraft] Rerouting the KRX3 AUX Input from the Rear BNC to the KAT3

Paul, You don't have to do anything to share the mainRX with the subRX - the K3 will split the receive (through the 3dB splitter) to the main antenna for both receivers. That is good for SPLIT operation, but will not produce diversity receive. For diversity, you do need two antennas which

Re: [Elecraft] Internal Speaker Problem

Mark, The proper answer is "maybe". Check the audio amplifier for the speaker by plugging your headphones (or external speakers) into the speaker jack in the back of the K3. If you have audio there, the speaker amplifier is working and there is not a problem with the DSP board or Front Panel

Re: [Elecraft] K1 (still) a classic!

LS, Yes, the demise of available ceramic trimmers (original) and later the demise of the wide range blue trimmers (1 to 40pF) used in both the K1 4 band board and the K2 bandpass filters (and wattmeters) has cause quite a stir for Elecraft. The best trimmers now available have been supplied

Good Evening, This is mark griffin, KB3Z. I forgot to write the message in text. Here we go again!!! I installed my KDVR a few months ago. And for some reason the internal speaker does not work. It has been suggested that I don't have the DSP board seated correctly or perhaps the front panel is

Re: [Elecraft] K1 (still) a classic!

LS, There is a "secret" to soldering the grounding wires to the base of the crystals. First, use a screwdriver to form the wires up against the crystal bodies. Then run your soldering temperature up to 800 degF. Hold the flat of the iron against the crystal body on one side of the ground

Re: [Elecraft] K1 (still) a classic!

Interesting... the bandpass filter trimmers in my latest K2 have changed, IMO, for the slightly worse in terms of quality. My first K2 (#6882 ) has nice well made looking trimmer caps in it, but 4 of the ones in the new kit are these barrel shaped ones that are kind of blah in terms of quality,

That does exist, as a kit: Google "pi-top". The trouble with pi-top is that the screen and keyboard, and general fit and finish aren't that great. If there's Android software that can meet your needs, you'll get more power, better screen, better construction, and a better keyboard by picking up
