Re: [Elecraft] KX3 2M module SMA connector loosening

I agree with Mike, Because of Arrow-induced self-flagellation, I'm using a SMA to BNC cable when I do satellite work, with the adapter cable secured with a little homemade clamp at the knurled KX3 cabinet screw to keep stress and torque off the KX3 connector. 73 Scott ka9p

[Elecraft] T1 ATU parts question

I'm taking a parts inventory and noticed that I've been provided with a 78L06 instead of an 78L05.   Is this expected or should I contact Elecraft for the specified part? Thanks,Scott N1ST __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

Re: [Elecraft] Linear thoughts

As long as we're hoping how about a swappable input board to allow it to be driven to full output by a KX3 as soon as the rule changes. Ditto for the KPA500..that's when I'll buy mine. Or at least allow an experimenter to easily modify his own without voiding a warranty if the rule

Re: [Elecraft] Why no love for the 1khz CW filter?

That raises an interesting question. Looking at Rob's numbers (assuming I've read the chart footnotes correctly) he's done the close in numbers for the KX3 with and without the roofing filter. But the close in numbers for K3S numbers were only done with the cw roofing filters. Is there

Re: [Elecraft] Need advice on Small Tower

I guess since the thread is still alive, and because I use my Elecraft rigs with said tower :) I'll wade in here, because I spent a fair amount of time researching this two years ago before reinstalling my Wilson TT-45, which is very similar. Everyone is right, one way or the other. The

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] Re: Strong recommendation: MFJ 18xx-series single-band w...

HI Barry, I expect your antenna is ok, or at least not mislabeled I don't have a 20 meter version to measure, but I do have the 17 meter version. It works fine on 17 with the KX3 with a drag wire or radial. On an AA30, with no counterpoise, it repeatedly measures resonance sharply

Re: [Elecraft] APF (audio peaking filter) on the K3/K3S/KX3

In the last month of listening to really weak signals here in 9 land I've found it helpful but not radical. Just for fun I tried tuning some of the same VP8SGI signals on a Drake 2B/2BQ and found adding the 2BQ in the mix more user friendly and making a bigger difference, but hey, the 2B

Re: [Elecraft] Noise from LEDs

...and I'd add the cheap Chinese LED's are a serious issue. Our garage door opener was randomly working during and after a recent kitchen remodel. After befriending Google, used the KX3 with a snoop loop, and found that switching on either of 2 banks of new LED's generated enough RF to

Re: [Elecraft] N1MM CW issue

I did the same thing after having the same problem and have to agree the WInkey USB is (so far) flawless. But I really would like to know how Tom avoids the issue directly keying the radio, especially for portable ops. Operating under W8.1 with direct keying I had about everything that

[Elecraft] K3 keying Alpha 374A/76A

Out of an overabundance of caution I thought I'd ask first My manuals for my old Alphas suggest the amplifier keying line is 20 something volts DC +, and the K3 manual says I can key way more than that + DC. So I just wanted to confirm (or learn more): 1) I shouldn't worry about any

[Elecraft] CM 500 setings

HI, I'm setting up the CM 500 headset with a new to me K3 for the first time, and having a hard time getting the anti-vox and vox gain balanced for reliable trip without tripping every time I touch the headset or cable. Can anyone recommend a good starting point for this? Thanks, Scott

[Elecraft] My KAT500 is sick :(

Time to ask for advice... I have off the air at the home shack for 6 months because of work. I covered up everything, all disconnect from antennas and power. Now work is back to normal so on my vacation I unpacked the K3, P3, and KAT500 and began hooking all up again--the only difference

[Elecraft] [KX3] connection KX3-KXPA100-KAT500

Hi all, I have a KX3 with ATU and a KXPA100 with ATU (an overkill, I know, but I didn't buy them together and they are for operating separately in the field). I would like hook both the KXPA100 and my K3 to the KAT500 in the shack through a coaxial switch, but I can't get the new KXPA100 to

Re: [Elecraft] K3: PSK31 will not allow Split operation

You can run split if you use a program like fldigi. I worked WIAW/0 this afternoon this way. I believe any program with a waterfall can run split--that is not the same as direct readout on the screen, but it is better than nothing. 73, Scott. AA0AA PSK31 SPLIT: Folks, It seems the

[Elecraft] [K3] Setting up signalink, fldigi, and K3

Hi all, The bands were dead here today so I started working on getting the new signalink working. I usually run flrig with fldigi on my macbook pro hooked directly to the K3. I got the signalink for a new laptop. I start flrig and let it stay in the background while I work with fldigi.
