[Elecraft] Hot K3 [comments and suggestions]

Interesting... I can make K3 #2308 more like K3 #272 if I set the S-MTR Offset and range to their limits AND, turn the AF GAIN to LO on K3 #2308. If that's all there is to it, I'm fine. But it is shocking to see that much variance between seemingly identical units at first. I'd like to see

loaded old versions of the firmware but no improvement was noted. I have emailed my request to k3supp...@elecraft.com, but want to post this to the list - anyone seen their K3 with these symptoms? Thanks, Don Rasmussen Carlsbad, Ca

[Elecraft] K3 Hardware Upgrades

I did upgrades today for early K3 #272. I considered these necessary: 12v sense PA REMIO UPGD RS232 isolation and AFOPMDKT speaker short circuit protection. I also ordered a new top cover to match the beautiful textured top cover Elecraft is sending with new K3s. The sides and bottom seem the

[Elecraft] K3 Hardware Upgrades - correction

I stand corrected on the price of the cabinet parts, the reason the side panels were more expensive was I ordered two of them. ;-) Top Panel $37.40 - expensive yet IMO worth it based on the change of finish. Side Panel $31.40 - not any change that I can see and even if there was, a trifle

[Elecraft] Elecraft QSO Party

I will be concentrating mainly on 20M phone and CW for the QSO party. The event starts at 01:00 Sunday morning local time in Thailand. How nice Stephen!! The way I envision it, you put up a shortened dipole at 8 to 10 feet. Two days before you even power up the radio, apprehensive hams from

[Elecraft] K3 FM issues

Julian, The transmit equalizer may be to blame for the thin audio reports. Although the FM audio does max at 2.8 khz, which is sufficient, the equalizer is mode sensitive so the preferred setting for SSB is not good for FM. The receive audio may also sound thin on FM unless the higher Eq

[Elecraft] New K3 Firmware: Pileup-inspired AGC changes

Anyone care to take a guess as to how long an anomoly like this would live in any other mass produced HF transceiver? My guess - the life of the radio. Maybe the Flex guys would get to it. With Elecraft, the issue was identified on the weekend, and here it is Wednesday of the same week, the

[Elecraft] Just finished building my K3

1. Don't drink while putting this kit together. without realizing, I ended up getting pretty drunk during the course of assembly just sipping on beer. Mistakes can and will happen when you're tired AND drunk. Agreed - That's the down side. On the plus side, if you attach the ground clip from
