Re: [Elecraft] K3S - blank screen - won't start won't shut off

Our club's K3 has had a similar  problem for several months.  It only occurs when you physically turn the K3 power off from the from the front panel.  The display stays lit, but remains blank.  Pressing the power button has no effect until I turn off the 13.8V supply, and turning it back on.

: The easiest way to do this is simply to save the preferred/standard configuration using K3 utility.  And after other fingers have been at the radio, restore that saved configuration.  There’s no reason to have to look through individual menu settings. Grant NQ5T > On Nov 2, 2020, at 9:57 AM, Ed

[Elecraft] K3 Config and Main Menu Dump?

2020-11-02 Thread Ed via Elecraft
Is there a way to read back the K3 Config and Main Menu settings into a spreadsheet or CSV file?  I have two club K3 stations that occasionally experience some changes to the menus.  It would be nice to be able to quickly verify what the changes were, and if necessary restore the menus. Thanks

Our club K3 is connected to a KAT500, which is connected to 3 antennas (ANT1: Zero-Five vertical, ANT2: DXCC fan dipole, ANT3: 135ft doublet.  Yesterday I was using the K3 on 6 meters with ANT 1 and ANT2, which were not designed for 6 meters.  The KAT500 was able to tune for a low SWR, and the

[Elecraft] Weighted Knobs in K3?

Before I install 73inc weighted knobs on my K3S, is anybody of the opinion that these knobs cause long-term damage to the PTO shaft? These knobs are quite heavy, compared to the factory ones. Seems Elecraft used lightweight knobs for a reason. Input appreciated. 73, Ed NI6S

I have had my K3 for a few years and have always kept it up to date. It seems cheaper than taking a loss in selling it and springing for a K3S. I am about to send it in again for the new synth boards and DSP board swap, etc. In the end, I will have 90% of a K3S. Is this the way to go?
