Mike:
Check your power connections to the K3, especially the

dont make good connection. Or they just get loose. This will
cause a momentary drop below 11 volts, and the K3 will shut

Depends on the UPS...
in the case of APC, the Back-Ups models are Standby

power is being drawn by the batteries.
However, in the case of APC Smart-UPS, Back-UPS Pro and

But first, before plugging the K3 DC supply into any UPS,
make sure the UPS has true Sine Wave output and is not

I agree with you, Karl.
I have been trying to figure out why someone would want a
700Hz filter myself.
When I want to tune CW casually, I use my 8 pole 1.8 SSB
filters in the main and sub and tighten the DSP to around
700-800Hz. Good dual use filter for me, very versatile!
Although I have
Hi Stan:
Do you already have the Alpha Delta?
I had a DX-DD for years, then purchased a DX-LB. Both
worked well, and were EXTREMELY robust. These things are
built to survive a nuclear attack. Consequenty, they are
heavy. The wires kink and no ammount of stretching seems to
make them unkink.
I *REALLY* like Guy's Blue Sky proposal, Wayne and Eric.
I would seriously consider getting rid of my trusty and very
economical to operate ALS600 with AD5X QSK Mod and MFJ998
tuner system for something like this for my next station
upgrade in a few years.
The complete station integration is the

A local friend just received his K3 Kit and took some photos
of the assembly. I noticed the stiffeners right away and
contacted Gary at Elecraft Support regarding aquiring two
for my rig. I seem to have some annoying birdies and
figured this shielding would help in at least reducing them.

There is no substitute, in my opinion, for actually HEARING
the pileup.
However, a P3 is on my Christmas List :)

By trips the amp do you mean that the TR relay on the amp
does not engage when you tune with the TUNE button (Press
and hold)?
How are you feeding your amp/radio PTT? Do you use a
footswitch? Do you have a Microkeyer? Are you running the
footswitch to the microkeyer or to the radio?
I would LOVE to have a Kenwood-AT300-Like press of the ANT
TUNE button on the K3 panel to start an automatic tune
cycle on my K3/ALS600/MFJ998 combo. That would be perfect!
My TUNE POWER is set to 10w. This makes between 40 to 60w
on the ALS600. Using the TUNE press and hold method, the

Add my vote for the Yamaha CM500.
I have retired my BM5-4, BM10-4 and my Koss SB40 modified
with a DX4 capsule and moved my ProSet DX4 to the portable
kit.
I use the CM500 exclusively now with great results, plus, my
glasses small piano wire frame legs dont cause creases in my
temples anymore.
Phil:
Yes and no. I once wanted to build a AT300 simulator and
use DIGOUT but there is a more elegant and simple way to fix
this. And you also protect yourself in case you forget to
tune if you set the tuner on AUTO and let it take care of
business.
I also have a K3 with an ALS600 and a MFJ998
