Re: [Elecraft] Heil Goldline

Hi Larry, Yes, I have the Goldline with the HC5 element. I generally leave the switch in the wide position. I found that using the default transmit equalization settings on the K3 resulted in too much bass with my voice. I used the K3 transmit equalization settings to reduce the bass until I

I have the Heil Pro Elite HC6 (not the Pro iC) and it works great with the K3. I've adjusted the TX equalizer to make it sound almost like the Heil Goldline and set another TX equalizer setting to make it sound like an HC5. The Pro Elite uses the same adapter as the the other Heil boomsets that

Roy, Tapping DISP will alternate between VFO B freq and other info. The 'other info' is determined by rotating VFO B knob. Robert N9EF On Aug 11, 2010, at 10:17 AM, Roy Morris wrote: I must be missing something, or I must not have something turned on. If I TAP DISP I can use VFO B to

Thanks all for your comments. It's nice to get so much feedback so fast! While I'm not very concerned about this, I do like to use my S meter to give the Strength report and believe that an S7 signal should read S7 even if the RF gain is turned down a bit (just for info, I set the S meter to

Actually the S meter is used so the Strength of the signal report is *not* subjective, that's reserved for Readability. I firmly believe that the Strength report must *not* be subjective, why else ever put a meter to measure signal Strength? In the case of signal Strength we *must*

[Elecraft] K3 S Meter behavior

2010-07-14 Thread Robert Mitilieri - N9EF
While I've seen many post regarding S meter calibration I have a question to which I haven't found an answer in the archives. Let's say I'm listening to a signal that's peaking at S7. I usually decrease the RF gain so that, with no signal, the S meter reads about S5. This reduces the
