Re: [Elecraft] Using Dual Switched Radios with KAT500 Tuner

Jack, Switching using a CX-210 manual switch. By cutting power, you mean cutting back to low power for tuning right? I assume with the KAT500 running in manual mode, which is the way I use it now with the K3, I will not have the problem of auto-tune going into action while I am

Re: [Elecraft] Using Dual Switched Radios with KAT500 Tuner

Phil; How would you switch between the radios? Manual switch? Be sure you also connect that you provide some method for cutting power on the transmitter when the KAT is tuning. This is built into the K3/KPA setup, but you also need to do it for the IC706. You really don’t want to hot-switch the

I would like to consider using my KAT500 tuner in a configuration switched between two radios. One of them is my K3 and the other is my Icom 706. My normal configuration is a full K-Line: K3/P3 —> KPA500 —> KAT500 —> Antennas This K-Line configuration is by the book full Elecraft

Re: [Elecraft] (KX2) - Randomly Powers Up "Weird"

Thanks, Bill.  The KX2 doesn't actually have a "sub" receiver; if you mean dual watch then no, it's rarely engaged unless I'm working split DX. It's not a VFO A/B issue either.  I guess I should update my firmwareI only work CW and my needs are simple so I've refrained from updating so

Re: [Elecraft] SWR issue with K3

Mike, What is the proximity of the magnetic loop antenna to the K3? I suspect RF feedback from the K3 being within the strong field of the magnetic loop. Try moving the loop further from the K3 or rotate it so the maximum RF is not directed at the K3. Yes, those RF problems can be present

The new filter has 6 poles and steeper sides than the older filter thet have only 5 poles. On my K3s I have also the 500hz 5 poles. I excluded the 8 poles filter becouse on a previous experience on my old FT1000MP  with the great 400hz ‎paired filter by Inrad found them a little tiring on long

Re: [Elecraft] SWR issue with K3

My guess is common-mode current on the feed line from RF picked up from the loop since the SWR is stable into a dummy load. In an rf-rich environment the rig itself becomes part of the antenna, so everything cannot be exactly the same switching between the KX3 and K3. Assuming you don't have a

Re: [Elecraft] (KX2) - Randomly Powers Up "Weird"

Stan, I would try MCU 02.68 and DSP of 01.48 and see if that helps. If you have the unit on SUB receiver you may be looking at two different settings for each VFO and the spread between VFO A and B can be confusing. I use SSB and leave the SUB on. When there are two close signals I have to

[Elecraft] SWR issue with K3

While on 20m I tuned the MFJ 1788 to the lowest SWR which was 1.2:1. I did this using the tune button on the K3. I noticed the SWR on the K3 was bouncing around from 1.2, 1.3, 1.7, 1.4 and so on and never settling on just one reading. This only happens on 20m and no other band that I tuned on.

Re: [Elecraft] [P3] Ability to copy very weak signals

There are several factors that make this technique insufficient to "measure" your ears. The K3 splits the incoming signal path and sends part of the signal to the P3 and part to the K3 receive circuitry. The split occurs just after the first mixer so the P3 is sampling a wideband signal
