Re: [Elecraft] K3 mod for K-Pod level of difficulty

Apologize if this question has already been asked/answered. I have K3s #106xx, so I need the mod. Is there any downside to making the mod (other than risk). I mean, is there any chance of it affecting TX/RX quality, et al? Assuming not; just checking... 73, __ Clay Autery,

Re: [Elecraft] K3 mod for K-Pod level of difficulty

Any K3S later than serial number 10787 (kit) or 10801 (factory assembled) can power the K-Pod without further modification. The change was made on all subsequent units. So I'd hazard the guess that yours is "ready to roll" without any further issues. Yes, the K-Pod Owner's manual advises owners

Mike, it's the tyranny of the majority ... left-handed scissors cost twice as much. I equate paddling a canoe [without getting wet] and flying a helicopter [without getting wet] to be in the same class, never mastered either. 73, Fred K6DGW Sparks NV Washoe County DM09dn On 6/29/2016 6:01

[Elecraft] CW Setup

Well, as a ham who once tried a paddle back in the early 'sixties, then went back to the bug, I can claim the electronic keyer in my K3 gets very little action! I send on a bug with my left hand, but at age 16, who knew there were left handed bugs? I learned on a right-handed bug, and have

Any one who can show pictures and advise me on the K3S mod would be a big help. I have had a stroke since building the K2 100, and every thing else Elecraft has ever made. And it took my dominant right side to boot. So I am debating whether to send it to Elecraft for the mod or if I am able

Especially when the station worked is "Mr. Low Band" himself! This morning on 20 meter CW I was running my KX3 (driving the KPA500 at about 190 watts to a doublet) when I ran across John, ON4UN calling CQ. He was running his K3 and an amp at about a KW into a five element yagi. Nice strong

Re: [Elecraft] Remove metal hanger from MH3 microphone?

Sri, my quick comment is misleading. It comes off as I described but on the MH3 the bushing is really a nut pressed into a plastic opening on the inside of the case back. If you apply any pressure to the screw while removing it, you can push the nut out of position and so you'd have to open the

Re: [Elecraft] Remove metal hanger from MH3 microphone?

Just remove the one screw holding it. The screw goes into threaded bushing on the back cover that stays in place. 73, Ron AC7AC -Original Message- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Peter Pauly Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2016 12:48 PM To: Elecraft

Can the piece of metal on the MH3 be removed by taking the microphone apart? I doubt that I'll ever use it and the chances of it scratching my radio faceplate are very high. __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

Dave, Still waiting on ARRL for my K1/W1AW card from your 2m eme operation during the Centennial Year. Regarding use of a long wire for 6m, I completely agree. Yes, you may be able to load such an antenna but it will hardly operate efficiently (multiple lobes in unknown directions). A

Please check out my link to the video and picture of my P3 showing: 1) Repetitive broadband crash from below 580 kHz to over 54MHz... 2) Machine-like... between 1/2 to 1 second between crashes. 3) Amplitude varies across the bands, but S7 on the P3 and S9+10 to S9+20 on the K3s is about average.
