Re: [Elecraft] D-104 preamp ...

I said it once, and I'll say it again. My 1956 crystal-element D-104 works great with my K3. I plugged it in and did an on-the-air check with K9YC. Jim reported outstanding audio. Before modifying your D-104 or building a preamp, try the bare-bones D-104. K9YC: If you don’t have a problem,

[Elecraft] K3 Audio Balance

I think the answer is no, but I'll ask anyway. For those of us who are asymmetrically hearing impaired, is there an audio balance control menu option for a single-receiver K3? Ski Exuberantly, Hank, W6SX Mammoth Lakes, California Elevation 8083 feet in John Muir's Range of Light

Re: [Elecraft] QSK CW: TX DLY vs CW WGHT with internal keyer

I think what we are really talking about is Keying Compensation, not Code Weight. I use a K1EL WinKeyer with Keying Compensation set to 06 ms with my K3. See pages 15 and 16 here for good discussion of Keying Compensation, http://k1el.tripod.com/files/WKUSB_QuickStart.pdf . My twenty-plus-year

Re: [Elecraft] [K3} fatiguing auido, high noise environment

Try playing with RX-EQ. In my case, I set PITCH to 800 Hz and RX-EQ 800 Hz to +16 db. All other RX-EQ bands are set to -16 dB. For me this makes listening much less fatiguing. Be aware that if you narrow the DSP to something like 100 Hz, then this scheme won't work for reasons someone

Thank you to all who responded, both on and off list, to my request. First thing I'll try is my two commercial tuners with roller inductors. As suggested, they just might work. If not, I have found link-coupled designs in Bill Orr's 1967 Radio Handbook and the 1949 ARRL Radio Amateur's
