Re: [Elecraft] P3 vs LP-Pan / NaP3

I've never used a P3, other than seeing a demo of a prototype unit.  I once used an LP-Pan, but no longer have one.  It was a bit too much stuff for me. I expect that the owners of P3s will tell you there is no comparison because the P3 stands alone without a computer.  That is true.  But who

Re: [Elecraft] P3 vs LP-Pan / NaP3

P3, as far as I know, does not let you open a receiver at anyplace in the bandpass. Actually 2, so with internal receivers and 2 software I can monitor 4 freq if I want using LP. Then there is the display issue. If you want bigger display on P3 you have to dedicate a monitor to it alone. With LP

Re: [Elecraft] P3 vs LP-Pan / NaP3

I too had the LP-Pan before the K3. Computers can be finicky and I found using the LP-Pan to be at times difficult to keep running. I also did not find it easy to adjust the scale ranges to make the graphics displays optimized for what I wanted to do. By contrast, the P3 was easy to set up

Re: [Elecraft] P3 vs LP-Pan / NaP3

I tried LP-Pan and NaP3 before buying my P3. Panadapter displays are sort of like the urban legend that all snowflakes are different ... after a year in the northern interior of AK, I can assure you ... "seen one, you've seen 'em all." However, like all Elecraft gear, the  integration between

While all of the info is correct, I also like to mention that an inline station monitor is also a great device.  I use a old Kenwood SM-220 as a permenant part of the station.  That lets me see the RF amplitude and the linearity of the signal.  The trapozoid is used mostly to keep tabs on any

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 TX Sample

Dave, Since that "coupler" has only one output, it is not a full forward and reverse coupler, so it could be nothing more than a toroid output with the wire carrying the full output going through the center of the core - in other words, it can just be an "RF Sampler", and in that case it

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 TX Sample

David, It is just a coupler - nothing else makes sense for that use, so your -60dB assumption is correct. Yes, it is relative to the output, so dBm is not the proper designation. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/23/2018 10:09 AM, David Box wrote: I am trying to get ready for delivery of the KPA1500 and

Re: [Elecraft] K3 internal connectors

My K3 is also from 2010, April as I recall. I recently did the component mods you mentioned except for the KREF3 and KPOD resistors. Also I added the general coverage BPF board with 472 kHz in mind. I added the new synthesizer as soon as it came out. It all went very well and only took a few

Re: [Elecraft] K3 internal connectors

Chuck, Sorry, I misunderstood - I did not consider that you were adding the new synth cards and the other upgrades. Other than the upgrades to bring the K3 as close to the K3S as possible, the parts for the other basic K3 mod kits is quite small. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/23/2018 10:18 AM,

No. The synthesizers (2 of them) and the USB Sound and Comm port update total around $960 to add. I might have rounded up too casually for shipping and the other mod kits which are around 10 dollars each, some free. So maybe $1000. Chuck Hawley c-haw...@illinois.edu Amateur Radio, KE9UW aka

I am trying to get ready for delivery of the KPA1500 and have become confused about the information available for the TX Sample port. The only information I can find states that this is a low-level signal of -60dBm but dBm is a measure of absolute power which would put this signal at 1

My K3 was purchased in 2010 which seems to avoid most of the early required mods. The optional mods that came after 2010 are: the 12vdc current update at the rear panel, the additional speaker audio output protection, the additional bandwidth capacitor from 100KHz to 500KHz (which requires
