Good Evening,
The snow has finally stopped falling. Hopefully that will be the
last I see of it 'til December. The daffodils are pushing through the
crusty snow; they are ready. After talking to a neighbor I found out
why there has been so much logging in our area. Saw log prices have
There seems to be an ongoing concern about audio levels for digital
modes. This is not confined to the SignaLink, but applies to any and
all soundcards used for digital modes.
There are at least two audio level controls - the Line In gain, and the
soundcard output level (set in the computer
I bought my KPA500+KAT500 combo (great used condition, but power calibration
was way off) for $2100 shipped on 3/14/2017. I have seen several sell on QRZ
since then. If you keep watching there, you will find some. I just used
their "search" function to see some recent deals. One KPA500 went for
But now I need three receivers. Two for diversity and one to scan the pileup.

This wasn’t a High Sierra issue, but rather the actual preferences file on your
disk that became corrupt. This can happen for several reasons, most likely a
program crash while the preferences file was being written. Our testing shows
no issues so far with the programs and High Sierra, but as
Hi Jack,
I did get it working with David, W4SMT's suggestions. It is interesting
that you got the “initializing” pane with a dialog behind it indicating
that a setting is incorrect. Mine just showed the "initializing" pane,
but there was no other way to get rid of it. I wonder if it is an
Hi Ray,
Thanks for your suggestions! I have been lucky for 9 years with my 2009
iMac, but this year was the year to upgrade. It does look like the KAT500
Utility could use a bit of updating, and it is very weird that it got stuck
looking for a USB-serial driver and couldn't be restarted or
Hi David,
Thank you so much for your suggestion, which worked. I think it kept
looking for a USB-Serial interface that it wasn't finding. Strange that it
got stuck looking, but that DL2RUM's KAT500ui worked fine. Anyway, very
grateful for your recommendation!

Hello to the group.
I am having an issue trying to get my K3 Utility program (Version 1.16.7.25) to
connect to my K3s locally.
I am using a remote rig system and am attempting to program the K-Pod macros at
the control site. The Remote rig system creates three COM ports. I have COM 6 as

Ignore my message as I've found the problem. Had the PTT line from AmpKeyer
to K3 plugged into the wrong jack! I had moved the radio to a friends
recently and I apparently didn't put things back the way I had them.

It would seem reasonable to guess many new owners of KPA1500 are
upgrading from a KPA500. I'll make a wild guess at least 50%, so if
Elecraft sells 5,000 KPA1500 during the beginning of sales then might
there be 2500 used KPA500 that might be available on the used
market? I suppose some will

For some unknown reason when I switch the KPA500 to Operate the receiver in
the K3 acts like I've activated attenuation. I've obviously made some
change in a menu somewhere but I can't sort it out.
SWR continues to read fine and power output is also fine.
Any suggestions on what might be wrong?
Chris, the second receiver sure makes a difference when using diversity. I use
antennas well separated, one vertical and one loop. Amazing how the band condx
can change. Nice to have the reception be instantaneous with my stereo
speakers.

I'm a proud new owner of a KAT500 and KPA500 and trying to get them set up.
I am following the 5 page Set Up and Configuration guide from Elecraft, and
after getting the cables connected, I tried running the KAT500 Utility.
Unfortunately, the program seems to hang, as I see a window that says
I just got my K3 back from Watsonville where I had the Sub RX, KIO3B and
other mods installed.
First ever QSO with my new KRX3A: TN5R on 20m CW. Beat the pileup while
listening to both sides.
TOTALLY AWESOME!
Didn't realize how powerful a tool it is having that 2nd RX. I'm a true
believer now
They aren't difficult to build. I made a couple with an inexpensive 8"
shear/brake and a drill press. You can see some of the details in this
google album.

If you don't have the equipment, they shouldn't be very expensive to
have made as Alan

Why not have a case made. I'm having one made for a 2M linear, so that it
matches the K-Line. I can send you a name and phone number of a facility in
Hove, if it helps.

Does anyone have an EC2 enclosure surplus to requirements that they would be
willing to sell? The EC2 is now discontinued and I’m looking for one to mount
a KPA100 into.
Being a UK ham then a European source is preferable from a shipping perspective
but offers from further away appreciated.
Tim,
I made an adaptor to use my KX3 KXPA portable when I removed it from my
truck.
I used a headset with foot pedal PTT (or more descriptively - "stomp to
talk").
Obviously I did not remove the cabling that was in the truck going to a tool
box in the bed.
My home made cables are about 5'
