[Elecraft] K3 vs K3S

Yes, the new KSYN3A synthesizer board is also good for SSB.  Perhaps, it should be the most valuable upgrade to K3.  If you don't have the funds for K3S, just do this upgrade, then over say 99% of the time you can't distinguish between a K3 Vs K3S 73 Johnny VR2XMC 寄件人︰ Gary

Andy, I don't have a YouTube video but when I put the new synth boards in my three K3 (not K3S) rigs I found that I was able to handle close by signals better. I'm mostly a CW contest guy so I can't say what SSB is like but a CW contest seems to be less crowded now. I know that is purely

Yep, the NB icon is supposed to flash if the setting is overly aggressive. I've seen mine do this on very rare occasions on my K3 when I had it set to the very highest settings (both regular and DSP), though I've only seen it once or twice. So it's probably working. In fact, on just the right

Re: [Elecraft] Computer interface problem with KX3/KXPA100

If you're getting the big yellow bang by the device in "device mangler", that points more to a failure in the driver for the USB device in the machine, or a problem with the device itself inside the box. The plug could be marginal after heavy use, or the driver may be corrupt, or the USB hub could

Well, we do update the manuals regularly through errata and updates when they are reprinted to cover new features. Bill makes a good point. We'll make it abundantly clear that the P3SVGA requires an external SVGA monitor to use all of its features. Tnx and 73, Ron AC7AC -Original

Per the manual at page 25 (K3, p 27 for K3S), "The NB icon will flash slowly if the I.F. blanker setting is too high for the present signal conditions. If this happens, use a lower setting." There's more to be read on the subject at that page in the manual. Found the page by searching the

I am not sure what you are eluding to Bill, but suffice to say I don;'t think you understand the issue. Once I have transmitted, the NB flashes and will stay flashing forever. (while I am sitting there receiving) Also, the NB seems to do little to nothing. I am not a K3 engineer, but I am now

Hmmm, those NB letters are not supposed to flash. They should either be on or off. Sounds like a bad connection someplace. To eliminate RF causing any sort of problem, please try transmitting into a dummy load. 73 from David GM4JJJ > On 15 May 2016, at 23:14, Mike Smith VE9AA

Yes, it's a K3 early serial #.I just got it yesterday. (sorry about that - I forgot it was an Elecraft wide list and not just a K3 list - my bad) I updated the firmware from 4.83 to the newest a couple hours ago, hoping it would help. Good on eliminating the mention on newer firmware.
