Re: [Elecraft] K3 Power Output

Trev, Sounds like a typical K3, both of mine will react very similar especially if I change bands. I will typically hit the tune button and adjust my power if necessary. Now perhaps if I went through the transmitter calibration it would go away! I still need to do all the mods on my first K3

Re: [Elecraft] I need some grounding-strap guidance, if'n you please

David, As a correction, all conduits are to have a green grounding conductor included per NEC. This was changed many years back in thee NEC because it was found that conduit may not always have a good ground all the way back to panel due to loose screws corrosion etc. 73 de Bill N4ZI K3's

Guys, Just got done assembling my second K3 and this one has a 13 Khz filter where #1 had 6 Khz - I like to do shortwave listening - thought the wider filter would give better fidelity, but DSP only goes 5Khz wide is there a mode for this? I assumed with the 13khz roofer it would be opened up
