I discovered both AF knobs on my K3 #2555 had split just a couple of days ago. I received not one set but 2 sets in the mail yesterday. Thanks Elecraft! I suppose the new ones look sturdier. I wouldn't want to replace them with anything else. 73, John N1JM -- View this message in context: http

This is a YMMV, but personally I don't know why one would want to put all their eggs in one basket or all their radios in one box. I fact I would rather have a separate 6 meter radio, which I do. Of course i could buy another K3:-D -- View this message in context:

I don't think I have ever had or used a radio where the NR was terrific. Consequently I hardly ever use NR. Even after all the agc adjustments, etc. with the K3, my TS480 is about the same. YMMV of course. John N1JM -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K3-Noise-Reduction

I guess I would have to listen to another K3, but the audio is no better than my TS480 with internal speaker. If I may throw my two pennies into the discussion - I use medium quality amplified speakers on my K3, and with the speaker amplifier turned up and the K3 connected to a dummy load, I

I assume you have no regular serial port. Have you tried the adapter with your K3 and a control/logging program like HRD? Some usb to serial adapters are quirky. John N1JM After 10 months I decided to upgrade my firmware from the original 2.16 since I just got the KXV3 and KRX3

Thanks. I missed that on the errata sheet. Although it's not to clear how to set them up. You must enter a frequency in each 0-9 before it becomes active. 73, John N1JM Yeah, band buttons would be nice if the panel were larger. But there is a good work-around that doesn't require
