[Elecraft] K3 - KRX3 audio cuts out.

I’ve been experiencing an issue with my K3, and I’m wondering how to troubleshoot it. Here’s the symptom. Often, when I’m trying to work a weak DX station, I’ll switch the sub receiver off and on, so I can better hear the DX station, then to try and hunt for the station he’s working.

Hello. For a while now I've had the feeling that my sub-receiver has been a bit 'quiet', when compared to the main Rx, requiring its AF gain to be cranked up to compensate. However, I'd not really worried too much about this as its ability to hear weak signals was not impaired. Yesterday,

[Elecraft] K3 - KRX3: AF Gain

I have the main receiver's AF Gain set to HI, but I can't find a way to enable that function on the KRX3. Am I missing something, or is this a feature request? With the main receiver on HI, the difference between the two receivers is too great to be able to hear very well on the KRX3, at

Hello Mitch! I have the main receiver's AF Gain set to HI, but I can't find a way to enable that function on the KRX3. Am I missing something, or is this a feature request? Setting the AF GAIn HI or LO in the CONFIG menu sends the appropriate commands to both main and sub receivers if the

[Elecraft] K3 KRX3 notch

I searched the archives and didn't see this one. Is the notch filter on the to-do list for the second receiver? I assume it'll follow when the separate NR and NB are implemented. Thanks. Forrest WA3FAE -- View this message in context:

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - KRX3

Well, taking apart a perfectly working radio is bound to be barrier to doing this. Had my concerns too. Put it in today. Seems to work AOK. One step in the manual that saved my butt was check for connectors that may have pulled out during the subrx assembly install. Indeed one did.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - KRX3

I originally planned to wait and see how other installations played out especially after reading that the front panel had to be removed and messed with in order to do the KRX3 installation. That's the last thing I wanted to do. Removal and re-installation of the front panel assembly is quite

Bill I am very keen to try low band diversity reception, but I am not blessed with acreage for Beverages. Is it practical to use, say a couple of tuned loops oriented in different directions (or planes) with modest separation, iewavelength? David G3UNA From: Bill W4ZV [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi, Dave, Wow -- I know exactly what you are talking about! I received my KRX3 and there it sat in a box for two weeks. I was more than a little scared to install it after reading about some of the horror stories on the reflector. Two weekends ago I took the plunge. I set aside an entire
