Re: [Elecraft] New build K3S no speaker audio, low mic gain

Which speaker doesn't work, the internal speaker or an external one plugged into the SPKRS jack on the back? If internal, did you remember to connect the 2-pin cable to the header before putting the top cover on? If external, did you use a stereo plug or a mono plug? If mono, did you set

On the speaker topic, please check your Owner's Manual Errata - 2nd item. Agreed with Don on the mic input. Also, please be sure to read the section in the Owner's Manual about how to set proper mic audio

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft K2/10 Build and a lesson learned.

Many moons ago when there was a K2 but no KPA100 I wanted to drive an amp with my K2 and I needed a few more watts. I made some modification (I don't remember the details) that allowed it to produce more than 20 watts, which made a big difference in output from my amp. I operated for a while

Re: [Elecraft] New build K3S no speaker audio, low mic gain

Chuck, Contrary to what Heil recommends, set the mic gain range to high for those low output Heil microphones. For the speaker audio, I suggest you contact K3support and they may be able to guide you though some tests. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/25/2017 9:56 PM, Chuck Chandler wrote: Well, the

Cameron, Don't feel bad, it happens to the best of us. I am glad you found the problem. Be careful to make certain pin 1 of the ICs and Rpaks is soldered. The solder pad for pin 1 is a different shape than all the rest, and is often missed by builders. Congratulations on your

[Elecraft] Recording Line Out on the K3

I have Line Out of the K3 connected to Line In on one of my soundcards. The only way I've been able to record both sides of the QSO is to set the K3 Line Out to PHONES and turn up the MONitor to make it relatively equal in volume to the received audio. This works, but it's annoying to have the

[Elecraft] New build K3S no speaker audio, low mic gain

Well, the K3S is running, with KPA100 installed. I have done all the calibrations suggested. Two items for now: No speaker audio, though headphone jacks front and rear work fine. I tried the CONFIG:Spkr+PH to minus thing, no change. Also, trying my Heil Quiet Phone had very low gain - there

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft K2/10 Build and a lesson learned.

Yes, you did good.  One thing I learned when a friend had a project go south and could not find the reason. He brought it to me and it was an enameled wire that he had not striped the enamel off.  The connection looked good but it did not burn through the enamel.  Again DETAIL and double

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft K2/10 Build and a lesson learned.

Glad it turned out well in the end, Cameron. All "solder jockeys" know how a joint sometimes magically "desolders" itself. You were lucky after all. Often the unsoldered joint is making contact with the thru-plated hole and everything works - until a little oxide builds up and the resistance

[Elecraft] Elecraft K2/10 Build and a lesson learned.

Hi All, I Just finished my Elecraft K2/10 build. I have lots of options to add but the basic K2/10 is now working and I'll let it settle in for a week or so to make sure its all ok before adding any options. I started this build at the end of January, taking care to sort and identify all

Thank you Bill, You made my day. When K3s is driving my JUMA PA1000 without 100W PA, the drive is better than excellent up to 8W. I need 2W for 600W clean output (-40dB) in SSB. For CW 4W is enough for a 1000W output (measured with LP100 power meter). Juma use this active element, and here

From the K3S manual, p. 18: *Set the CONFIG:RS232 menu parameter to USB. Exit the menu.* • With the USB cable plugged in and the K3S turned on, determine which COM or sound device ports have been assigned to the K3S. This can be done from within applications. On Windows PCs, an alternative is to

I concur Ed. On SSB when running stations I will only mess with the HI CUT. Wil crank it down to 2.1. The intelligibility is still good. Sometimes I forget and just leave it at that setting for the entire contest. It makes it so you can squeeze in between two other strong stations so that all

Hi Colin, Very good point, and idea. But I thought W was the UK dealer for Elecraft and their website doesn't seem to suggest they carry the K2 range. Update: A quick look at their downloadable full catalogue dated October 2016 does list them so I'll send them a mail. Thanks. 73, Martin

Once you have ordered directly from Elecraft, you will usually receive an invoice with the shipping costs added. After you pay, you should receive an order confirmation and eventually you will receive a "Package shipped to you" email, containing a tracking number. Depending on the over all cost
