[Elecraft] Scam?

Re: [Elecraft] About to give up

Phil, Is this something new with El Capitan? I’ve always been making settings changes in the MIDI application. Anyway, I gave it a try and set USB Audio CODEC as the output device. Fired up WSJT-X and answered a CQ. It keyed the K3 for about five seconds and then the audio started coming out

Re: [Elecraft] Strong Rd feedback in mh3

Ed, Yes, that can be common with long wire antennas - that can happen with any transceiver, it is not unique to the K3 or KX3. Change the length of your long wire by 1/8 wavelength at the frequency you are having trouble with. The situation is that you have a high RF voltage on that

[Elecraft] Strong Rd feedback in mh3

I was operating portable today, with a long wire in a tree and counterpoise on the ground, and no matter what I did, every time I pushed the mic button, I got super strong RF feedback in audio monitoring, apparently picked up by the MH3 cable - things got slightly better if I tried to bunch/coil

Dick, By any chance have you in the past few weeks upgraded your mac to El Capitan? I had a working system (K3, FLDIGI, WSJT-X) and silly me, upgraded to El Capitan and a subsequent follow-on update. It has completely broken my digital mode operating. The audio is now routed to the internal

I can't speak to the Mac part but it was a bit of a learning curve (and I VERY computer literate - heck I code!) to get my K3S working smoothly with several different software applications but now everything - audio in/out, PTT and CAT commands are all handled through one USB cable. It's

I STRONGLY suggest that you do NOT rely on the PTT from the SignaLink at all, ever, no way, uh uh, fuggedaboudit, nyet. You have to use the full audio drive of the SLUSB to trip it's VOX, which is still not reliable. If you cannot use a CAT (computer) for PTT, then the rig VOX is your only

Isn't it "fun"? You purchase a new, highly touted rig that will do it all (I'm NOT sayin' Elecraft touts that...well, maybe they do that a little) and then you find lots of problems interfacing it with other ancillary equipment (ASSUMING it even NEEDS to interface with some external

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] Using a Sound Card for Mic (Multiple) Input(s)

Joel, Ham and consumer "condenser" microphones should not be subjected to 48 volt phantom power. That is for professional microphones which need that power. The ham and consumer "condenser" microphones are normally referred to as "electret" microphones rather than as condenser microphones.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 macro command for QRPp power levels

PC has different formats, depending on the K2 setting (K22 mode). If you want fewer than 10 watts, the x final digit (PCnnnx;) should be 0. This disables the KPA3, and nnn is interpreted as 0.1 watt units, up to 12.0 watts. PC0500; should result in 050 x 0.1 or 5 watts. If the final digit (the

Dick, Do you have sound coming out of the SignaLink? Connect it to an audio amplifier and listen - if you hear tones, things should work. If the SignaLink produces tones, does it activate the PTT output - test with your ohmmeter, it should measure a very high resistance (even infinity) with

Re: [Elecraft] KX3: transverter schematic?

the 2m transverter is different than the K3 - yeah, since the K3 does not operate on 2m. I suppose you meant the K144XV transverter installed internal to the K3. Answer is the KX2-2M is very different architecture. It converts 144-148 to 50-54 MHz unlike other Elecraft transverters that
