[Elecraft] SDRPlay connection to K3S

2018-07-17 Thread Steve Muenich
Hello gang, Is there a proper port on the K3S to connect a SDRPlay that would allow for sharing the main antenna while receiving, then be disconnected and isolated when the K3S go into transmit? Thanks Steve, NA5C K3S 10121 Sent from my mobile device

up well above 2 W. It can be reset to 2 W by moving the power knob off the 2 watt setting and back again. This isn't very practical in real operation, so once again, the conclusion is that to operate above 29 MHz the bandpass filter would need to be retuned. 73, Steve VE3SMA

[Elecraft] K3s - KPA500

2018-01-18 Thread Steve Hall
Regarding reduced power into a KPA-500: With your amp in OPER, (but not transmitting) set your power output on your K3 to a reduced power such as 20 Watts. When the amp is then set to STBY it will revert to full output of 100 Watts (or whatever you have set it to in that position.)
