Much of the K3 functionality as a radio is analog on the main RF board [well, except for the DSP of course].  I believe that many [most?] of the signals on the Coveted Golden Connector Pins are digital chatter between the brains and the other parts of the radio that tell them what to do but

I usually run @ 50w into small amp and I see 13.7V on rcv and 11.5 while xmit. If I run the power up to 100w, I see 13.7 and 10.8; do I have a problem? I am using an unmetered Astron RS-35 into our standard 220v house supply. You definitely have a problem, Tom, but it has nothing to do with

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Display voltage?

Tom, You do have a problem. I recommend that you first check the voltage during transmit at 100 watts at the power supply terminals. If there is more than a few tenths of a volt drop there, you will have a power supply problem - the power supply terminals have connections on the inside as

Thanks for the many responses, both private and via the forum. I substituted a metered Astron PS and went directly from the PS to the K3 with Elecraft supplied power cord.. Now the measurements are: 100w 13.9v to 12.9v; 50w 13.9v to 13.3v. this I can live with... My previous setup was the

[Elecraft] K3 display and IF with SDR14

Hi All, My K3 serial number 1401 dumped the display. I can get it to display for a few seconds sometimes but other times it is dead at start off. I've removed front panel and looked for obvious things and even tried cool it to see if it is a heat problem but no luck. I'm thinking it will turn

Re: [Elecraft] K3 display and IF with SDR14

there is a shift and as a mater of fact that occurs at the same time as there is a drop out when using the shift control as you roll through one filter than another. Can anyone shed some light on this? Yes, the correct BFO injection shifts depending on the width and center frequency of the

[Elecraft] K3: display question with high SWR

I was just chatting with another K3 owner about the merits (or not) of the K3 tuner. I commented that I have resonant antennas on all bands except for 75m where my ant is cut for the bottom end of 80m. I noted that if I set the K3 to 5 watts power and the display and then transmit (cw), I still

Regarding the discussion of the display on the K3, not that anybody asked, but I'm solidly in the I want a larger radio and display camp. Perhaps you could design an interface for the K3 that would let someone hook it up to a 22 inch LCD monitor. Why stop at a 22 monitor? What about

[Elecraft] K3 display for contesters

Dick, you are on target about the TenTec reflector. The same thing is going on at the FT-2000 reflector now. It seems every item warrants a flame from someone who does not agree. The Elecraft reflector is very tame compared to the FT-2000. Eric and Wayne are to be credited for not only

WC1M: The Orion does a good enough job with DSP that it isn't easy to distinguish between 600Hz, 400Hz, or 200Hz. Dick the K3 has a visual passband indicator that gives you an indication of the passband in octaves (e.g.. ~250 Hz, 500 Hz and 1000 Hz for CW). I doubt I'll miss reading BW to
