[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

Good Evening, The sun has been spotless for the last few days. A CME just missed the earth earlier this week. Plus the SFU is getting rather anaemic at 71. But the right time of day on the right band can work wonders. Late at night on the low bands has been fun; the higher bands not

Re: [Elecraft] K3 upgrade to K3S question

Gernot, When changing the synthesizers, the major concern is dropping the lockwashers behind the existing mounting screws. To avoid that, loosen the screws almost all the way but not quite out of their threads. Then tilt the board toward the rear and push the lockwashers as far onto the

I find I'm always in the same VOX setting for SSB and Data. I keep sending coughs out on SSB, or not transmitting in the data modes. It is the one remaining annoyance in switching between SSB and Data on my K3. On 3/11/17 at 3:07 PM, n...@arrl.net (Bob Wilson, N6TV) wrote: You may not need

Alan, With the K3, you do not need a bias resistor at all. Just go to the MENU MIC SEL and set it to aply bias - that is what the 'b' means. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/10/2017 5:49 PM, Alan. G4GNX wrote: Sometime back I bought a W2ENY electret conversion kit for my Astatic mic but I seem to have

There are two upgrade issues to consider: (1) The recommended modifications to bring your K3 up to the latest engineering level. Check for what you may need and how to install it. (2) The upgrades to install the new K3S upgrade boards. The big

Re: [Elecraft] (OT) - portable radial idea?

Stan : Unless the “radials” are to be elevated a few feet above the ground there is really nothing to be gained by trying to cut them for resonance on each band. If they are laid on the ground they will be detuned and the legnth will be all off anyway. The rule of thumb that I used is to

Re: [Elecraft] Heil Head Set Question for my KX3 and KX2 rigs

This is a nice stereo breakout cable that should split mic in and ptt so you can use a heil and a footswitch. I keep one of these along with a small hand actuated ptt switch. I cant really think of anything else that would be necessary.

Carter, I am not sure if this is what you have in mind, but I use this cable: Hosa YMM-26. It is a Y cable that plugs into the KX3's Mic. jack, and provides an output line for both PTT and Mic. The headset then plugs into the earphone jack on the KX3. On 3/11/2017 7:46 AM, Carter

[Elecraft] VOX/PTT select macro ?

At one point in the macro command reference there was a statement that VOX/PTT selection would be available through a direct macro command. Currently all I am able to make work is the SWT or SWH type command which is basically of no use since there is no way to know what the current mode is.

Re: [Elecraft] Electret microphone for K3

It isn't a problem, because the FET preamplifier normally operates in the saturated region where it approximates a constant-current load, in effect drawing only the current that it "needs". Typically Idss will be only a few hundred microamps. With typical resistor values and supply voltages,
