I have been using the Elecraft KRC2 for remote switching for several years. It drives a MicroHAM 10 port switch. The switch is well made in a heavy casting and can be used in the shack or on your tower. I have never had the slightest problem with it. I built the KRC2 as a kit (easy) and the

[Elecraft] No SubRX on 30M

I don't believe I ever tried to run split on 30M before so I don't know if it was always this way or not. When I called the 7O on 30M I was suprised that I could not hear the pile up on the subRX. I can hear background noise in my right ear but when I see a signal on the P3 and tune the subRX to

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Tuning Noise

Fred, Don't look at the P3 when you are fast tuning the K3. The K3 seems to require a lot more dial winding than any other rig I have ever had. Not that I'm switching back to anything. I sure do miss triple bandstacking registers. -Robby VY2SS -- View this message in context:

Re: [Elecraft] Spot button QSYs K3

I spent some more time with this and find that if I tune to the low side (tone lower than my pitch setting) and push spot it tunes the way it should but if I turn the dial to hear a higher note than my 680 hz pitch setting the VFO takes off down the band. It will sail right past S9 signals without

Re: [Elecraft] Proper K3 filter/options selection?

Paul, I would suggest getting an 8 pole 500 hz filter instead of the 400 hz one. You can order it from INRAD for the same price. It gives you a little more spread between the two filters. -Robby VY2SS -- View this message in context:

I have also found that my SP productivity has improved dramatically using the P3 both on CW and RTTY. It's a big advantage when tuning up or down the band to be able to see what is happening ahead of you. On RTTY I will usually line up the marker on the next signal and jump to it with the
