[Elecraft] KX3 - sounds like filter blow-by - what am I hearing?

I have been using a KX3 during FD, connected to some large (tower/yagi) antennas. Am operating CW exclusively. Although I've had the KX3 for a while, I've only used it casually until today's FD. All day I've been noticing (on 20 and 40M, with fairly strong signals - some ove S9 - across both

[Elecraft] KXPA100 use with K3-10?

2011-06-16 Thread David Feldman
This may already have been asked and/or answered (so please forgive the redundant request), but my question is this - is the KXPA100 is expected to be usable (externally) with a K3-10? I have a K3-10 and would rather use a future KXPA100 with it for the occasions where higher power is needed

Wow - much clearer/faster answers than I expected! I would not need an internal tuner to the K3, so I'm good-to-go and anxiously awaiting order opportunity for KX3 and KXPA100! Dave On Thu Jun 16th, 2011 5:13 PM MDT Wayne Burdick wrote: Yes. Wayne On Jun 16, 2011, at 4:02 PM, David Feldman

Seeking advice while trying to get KXV3A/K144XV added to existing K3-10. May be operator error. Detail below. Rig's history: K3 SN 18xx, no options (single 2.7 kHz 5-pole filter), built from kit when first received (Fall 2008), used successfully for a little while, then stored until today

Partially fixed - I had set XV1 ADR to TRN1 instead of INT TRN1. Once I changed that, I found many problems corrected - I was able to set the two offset frequencies, I hear the relay switching between band segments, and I am now able to receive on 2M. However, I repeated the calibration using

If a K144XV is purchased for a basic (10W) K3, then later a KPA3 is added, does the K144XV module need to be replaced or can it be re-used? An entry (copied below) from www.elecraft.com/elecraft_prod_list.htm#k3 says there are two ways to order K144XV, but an e-mail to elecraft asking how I'd

As you'd expect, for professional use, the Pace and the Metcal are the most costly - and the best at what they do. I'm curious what makes one unit better than another other than the obvious differences between a temperature-controlled iron and a $10 radio shack unit. Are you thinking of

Hello Jim, The two solutions I've looked at so far are unappealing (going all the way to the 100W level, or the hfpack-based project which includes a DC/DC converter to run it's transistors at 28V, which has it's own efficiency impact.) I have been looking for a more modest power increase,
