Re: [Elecraft] What Two Bands would you pick for a K1?

I built my K1 when it was still possible to get the 4-band module which for me, covers 40, 30, 20 & 15. As I would like to have 80m also to work my Norwegian hams, I built a 2-band board with 80 & 20. 20m is a band that's normally always open some part of the day and a band you can use for dx,

Me too. In find that the "NEW QSK" is the same as the "OLD QSK" with a slight delay. It's better to turn down the RF gain if you get too much "popping" sound in your audio. 73 de Hal/LA4XX On 16-03-02 17:47, Ray W2RS via Elecraft wrote: > > The KX3 "NEW QSK" mode

Hi Glen. I've had this probleme several times and what I have to do (or at least do) is to disconnect the radio from the PC. After that it normally works. Maybe you have to switch the radio off/on. When everything works again, you can connect to the PC. 73 de Hal/la4xx On 16-01-21 08:51, Glen

Hi. I've also had this problem a couple of times. If you have the KX3 connected to a computer - disconnect. I think that solved the problem for me. You can connect to the computer again when the KXPA100 is up and running. 73 de Haø/la4xx On 15-03-12 22:59, David F. Reed w5sv.d...@gmail.com

I have noticed something similar, but that has nothing to do with the KXPA100. Whe I switch on NR, the audio is muted. Pushing the PBT button to get NORM bandwith gets the audio back, but if I try to change the bandwith it is muted again. Strange. Without NR on there is no such strange
