Re: [Elecraft] Flex 3000 or KX3

Hi Steve, Not a sage Elmer, but it would seem to me that the KX3 would bee your better choice and this is why since you mentioned travel... The Flex3000 is 90 more watts, but you will also need an outboard computer of some sort to go with it, there is no other way to really control it from my

[Elecraft] Scanning / Channel Hopping

A few questions about scanning... I would like to be able to scan and channel hop frequencies segments that span several bands. It seems this is not allowed by the K3 using just the buttons, but is it possible to do this via programming a macro using /MC/? If so what is the optimal way to do it?

when trying this out. In regards to the ESSB, I personally don't think using any amount of compression sounds like a good idea, kind of defeats the purpose of ESSB, no? - You're gonna have to answer to the Coca-Cola company. http://www.iarc.org/~4z5to -- View this message in context: http

Re: [Elecraft] Hybrid Power Supply--is this a bad idea?

Hi, The Gamma is my primary PS on my K3 (don't own a K2). Never had a problem with it since I've been using it almost a year now. That being said, you have to understand its limitations: SSB, it's great and gets out 100w; AM, reduce power down to 70w-80w; Digital modes some high speed CW can

Seriously though, I think most of us ordered the KUSB out of convenience of not having to search out a USB to RS232 cable - it is not something everybody carries, rather than having to call and drive around looking for one. I know if I went to order a $10.00 cable, it would have cost me another

I use the FM filter also for AM among other things. For easier configuration use, use the the K3 Utility application to set your filters. Works great and you will see exactly what your set-up is. Also, you can backup your K3 configuration here too. 73 Dan-17 wrote: I have K3 s/n 3020 with

[Elecraft] [K3] K3 ATU tunning discrepancy

Hi, The other day I was tuning up on 20M (14.220Mhz thereabouts) and noticed my SWR on the K3 was at 5.3. When I put up the antenna, it was tuned to a less than 2.0 SWR. Accounting for wear and tear over time I thought it might have slipped a little, so I re-tuned the antenna back to 2.0 SWR.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] K3 ATU tunning discrepancy

Grr... I completely disassembled the antenna, cleaned and re-aligned/re-tuned it on all bands. I'm getting 1.5 on 20M now and 1.2 to 2.8 on the rest. The K3 ATU will match down to 5.2 on 20M now. Unless I figure out why this is, I'll have to go back to my manual tuner and SWR analyzer, not a

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] K3 ATU tunning discrepancy

set the radio to ANT 2 instead of ANT 1. I did not discover this until I decided to re-read the section on the ATU operation and go step-by-step and see if I missed something. I also received a few emails detailing similar goofs, so I am not alone on this one. 73, Douglas 4Z5TO -- View
