Re: [Elecraft] OT: The times they are a changin

Hi Don, all, I am on this list (with great admiration), mostly lurking and trying to keep quiet because I know this is an elecraft list not QRP Labs ;-) Just have to say - for the record - respectfully, this is not correct! I cannot speak for Steve Weber, but I do *NOT* produce kits only for a

Re: [Elecraft] SDRPlay as panadapter

If what you want is a good panadapter for the K3, the P3 is hard to beat, in my opinion. I started my panadapter journey on the K3 the cheapest way possible - a softrock receiver on the IF, fed to the internal sound card on my PC. I was never able to tame the large 'spike' at the IF frequency. I

Bill, while the original post was about the 60 m channels, the K3 Memory Editor works for all frequencies for all bands.  As you note, split operation makes essentially no sense on the 5 60 m channels in the US.  It does make sense elsewhere. 73, Fred ["Skip"] K6DGW Sparks NV DM09dn Washoe

Re: [Elecraft] 60 meters and the K3S

I use memories 61, 62, 63, 64 & 65 for 60 meter frequencies and mode.  You can choose memories of your choice.  By doing this then pressing V-M one can "tune" through the memories.  Finding one you wish to use,then press V-M again and the radio goes there. Those frequencies are are as follows

I used the K3 Memory Editor and set up the 5 "channels" for both CW and SSB.  Worked really slick and I could give them meaningful names that appear in VFO B.  It's on the Elecraft site, "K3/K3s, KX3, and K2 Control Software."  The memories contain both VFO A and B data, so you can set up one

Thanks Don for the info. I only bought the 40/20 board with it and I was hoping to get a 80/30 and a 17/15 board for it but I never got around to ordering them before the radio was discontinued. I put a spare K2 knob I had,  on my K1.  I like that knob better, it has a finger dimple on it.

Some time back there was some great information on setting up the K3(s) to operate on 60 meters. It involved saving the frequencies in memories and recalling them. I had my K3 set up that way but with the K3S changeover, that's gone and I can't seem to find that information on the web (perhaps

Interesting thread. Yep they are changing. I bought a K1 kit a few months back and had no problems building it.  I had grand ideas of using it in some portable ops but a recent new health issue has cancelled that idea. I listen to it occasionally but I never managed to get the alignment

No doubt, small, single-band QRP kits are a bunch of fun. (I still think Dave Benson's Small Wonder Labs DSW-II is still one of the most innovative designs - I have two.) That said, they are no match for the K1 (or K2 now) when it comes to having a "real radio." 73 -- Sent from:
