Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Digest, Vol 208, Issue 2

I replaced my encoders in 2014 and then last Saturday I replaced the encoders in a friend's K3 SN 2707 I think. In 2014 I used a solder sucker to desolder.  I now have a Hakko FR-300 desoldering tool and used that last Saturday.  The five small pins are easy.  It's the two large tabs that are

[Elecraft] KPA1500 Required Update????

Where was the email about the important/required KPA1500 update posted? The first I heard about it was Rich's KUDOS reflector post.  I've gone back through my reflector digests and emails and haven't found any announcement about the update. BTW, I just updated to version 2 with no problems.

[Elecraft] Missing Step for K-POD Front Panel Mod

I received my K-POD this afternoon and proceeded to do the front panel mod. The instructions say to simply remove the 3 top and 2 bottom front panel screws and pry off the front panel. In the past I recalled needing to remove the left side panel but couldn't really remember why. When I was

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 power supply

I found my PAE-Kx33 also put out hash I could hear when operating near my mag loop. I put two mix 33 split ferrite cores with 5 turns each on the DC cable near the power supply. That knocked the hash down so it's negligible. 73, Alan N5NA On 1/19/2016 6:10 AM,

[Elecraft] K3 - No RX/TX

I had a similar problem a month or two ago. I had upgraded my synthesizer back in February. It turns out I had not fully seated all of the TMP connectors on the new KSYN3A. It worked great for months, even running mobile for several QSO parties, before I had the problem. So, check those

[Elecraft] Scratched off screen printing on a week old KX3?

Sounds like a bad paint job. If it were mine I'd contact Elecraft and request a new front panel. None of the lettering should scratch off so easily. 73, Alan N5NA On 2/17/2015 1:33 PM, elecraft-requ...@mailman.qth.net wrote: -- Message: 3 Date: Tue, 17 Feb

Re: [Elecraft] K3 front panel encoders

[Elecraft] KX3 fails to power on.

I've had this happen a number of times after I've unplugged the serial cable. Hasn't happened in a while though. The only way to fix it is what you did, remove one of the batteries. 73, Alan On 7/15/2014 8:35 AM, elecraft-requ...@mailman.qth.net wrote: Message: 24 Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2014

Rod, I saw your later post that you'd solved your problem. I've had a similar problem but it's occurred when I've removed the serial cable from the rig. Same symptoms as you report. I've solved it by opening the KX3 and removing one battery for a few seconds then reinstalling. After I do

Re: [Elecraft] K3 encoder backlash?

I have SN 3329 and think I have the same thing. I'd call it more play than backlash. I think there was a short period where Elecraft used some different encoders than they'd been using and ours have these encoders. I built a K3 about 5 months earlier for our club. Those encoders have light

This is a problem not only for HRD but any software in which the AGC status is polled continuously. I frequently use CQ/X by NO5W and had the same problem. Chuck turned off the AGC polling in CQ/X and the problem no longer occurs. Of course, now the AGC status can't be shown in his remote

For me shipping was about $18 which I thought was a bit too much to ship. So, I went on eBay today looking for a case/container for my K3. I found a padded case for a projector that I think will work for my needs. But, in my search I found the same aluminum case without the foam for $32.99
