[Elecraft] MFJ-4416B Battery Booster RF sensing

Hi to the group. I had a good time working field day QRP Battery and made 119 5 watt CW contacts using a solar panel for charging etc. I plan to go on vacation in about a week and bought a MFJ-4416B battery booster to use with my KX3 and KPA100 in my camper. I see a SO239 jack on the booster

Re: [Elecraft] CW Setup

K6DGW's post answers most of your questions, but I'll add a couple more points. You have to use a stereo plug for any key plugged into an Elecraft rig. Even straight keys and bugs with only two wires. Also, as Fred points out, you can pretty much do whatever you want and left handers often

Re: [Elecraft] CW Setup

One side is dits, other side is dahs, and the 3rd wire is the common. If you're right-handed, you probably want the dits on the left [thumb] and the dahs on the right [fingers]. If you're left-handed, you're sort of on your own, I am, and I used to paddle right, have slowly migrated left, but

[Elecraft] CW Setup

Hi ll, Trying to set up a single lever paddle for my K3. The more I read the more confused, for some reason, it gets. Can someone assist with this hook up, do  I use a stereo plug, and how do I set up the menu ? Thanks/73's, Bill, WB9CAC

Re: [Elecraft] N1MM and KX3

When I got my KX3, I built a pair of transistor switches that fit in a DE-9 shell. Added cables for RX/TX, PTT and CW KEYING and now it works just like a K3 with CAT, PTT and CW using DTR, and RTS from n1mm all from a standard KUSB that works with the K3. Sent from my iPhone ...nr4c. bill >

Re: [Elecraft] K2 / K3 audio - and the K2 fan

Can't answer your second question about the fans, but I initially thought that my K2 "just sounded 'nicer'" than my K3. It's not a huge difference, and I'm fairly deaf anyway, so I don't have a definitive, iron-clad answer but: 1. I usually use lightweight headphones [single narrow metal

Re: [Elecraft] K2 / K3 audio - and the K2 fan

Ted, You would find the K3 RX EQ to be beneficial to your ears. The IF filtering in the K2 causes the high frequency to roll off, but the stock K3 has a flatter response. If you have an older K3, the DSP board exchange or the LPF added to the DSP board will help by rolling off the high

Re: [Elecraft] K2 / K3 audio - and the K2 fan

K2s audio IS sweet sounding, isnt it? :-)(Not meant as a dig at the K3; in my - ok, admitted somewhat limited - experience, Im not sure Ive ever heard an SDR receiver having audio that matched that of a good analogue receiver, K2, Drake R4B, etc., notwithstanding any of the tweaks allowed by

[Elecraft] K2 / K3 audio - and the K2 fan

I know this is runs the risk of reopening an old thread, so I’ll keep the question focused: During the FD this weekend I spent about half the time with the K3 line, and half with the K2. Using the same headset, same antennas, same ambient environment, but of necessity different filter

The limit is in the KX3 firmware. According to the K3 Programmer's Manual, the upper limit on the length of a text message that can be sent using the KY command is 24 characters. Your original message already comprises 24 characters after the * macros are expanded, so the added "cq " pushed it

Re: [Elecraft] Transverter setup on KX3

Ken, Just as verification to what David told you -- Pick the TRN (XV) number that you wish to use for the XV432 - that is the "n" in the XVn menu settings. XVn RF is the output band for your transverter. The KX3 should show the output frequency. XVn PWR is the power *input* to your
