If you break a plug tip off inside a connector on one of our radios, and can't
get it out, send it in and we'll replace the connector. No charge for anything
but shipping.

Hi Jim,
There are no semantics in our firmware revisions. For example, 3.00 would just
be an incremental improvement over 2.99.

Is there anyway to set antenna selection to bypass when selected?
i have a dipole on ant one where I use the kat500
on ant two I have a random wire on outdoor tuner, I would like kat500 to always
bypass when ant two is selected.

First try today of my KX2 with the KXPA100 amplifier. Everything seemed to
work fine. One issue for today; the lights on the amp indicated a 1:1 SWR
while the Radio gave a reading of 19:1. My assumption is the KX2 does not
“read back” the SWR from the amp. Is this correct? Is the SWR on
In case I’m misinterpreted, here: I’m just the messenger. This is a highly
unusual FCC action that I figured would be of general interest.
Someone pointed out privately that it could be construed as political — that
was definitely not my intent. Misuse of the airwaves affects us all.
Bob,
In the newer firmware, it's a menu setting. I don't remember what it is,
(Radio not accessible right now), but the firmware notes via the utility
should tell you.

Hi
I recently acquired a new shack laptop, Win 10 Home,
connected elecraft USB-RS232 cable to update firmware with the latest

But unsuccessful, got the message -
So I ended up doing it no problems with an older Win 7 laptop.
Does anyone have any experience with this or a solution?
This is probably a message from a Windows USB driver install. I don’t recall
adding that text to the K3 Utility.
Early KUSB cables used a chipset from a company named Prolofic. Their brand
fell on hard times, there were reportedly some counterfeits. Device driver

Yeah. It's out there in the public eye already, whether legit or not. To
many people, any civilian with a HT is a ham. They don't necessarily make

Sure. Just select bypass for the antenna on the front panel. When you QSY to
that band, the setting will take affect and the ATU will be in bypass mode.
I do this with my tribander, which does not need the ATU, just the switch.

I have had my factory built k3s with the internal 2M xvtr for about 5
years. the output power is only 4W. This works OK to drive my external amp,
but I would really need about 8-10W for full drive. What do others
experience regarding output power with the internal xvtr?
The FCC just posted this:

I guess this isn't surprising, considering current events. But in case their
motivation wasn't clear, see this interpretation:
If you are an ARRL member, you also received an emailed statement from them
today, reiterating their position on the appropriate uses of amateur radio.
It isn't surprising that those involved in the January 6 insurrection and

Hi Bruce,
The latest edition of the "Introduction to the Elecraft K4" manual includes
preliminary specifications. Unfortunately the version that's at the manual link
right now is an older one. That will be corrected by tomorrow, and you can
download it.
I could send you the document directly,
I've been thinking about some kind of automatic lightning
protection for radios, specifically ones like the K3 and K4. The
idea is that when you turn the radio off, all the things that
are subject to damage are protected by disconnecting them from
the external world and shorting their inputs
Good Evening,
Both bands were better than I had anticipated. Low noise with mild
QSB helped me copy better. Rick commented after the first net that
propagation was good for him to all of us. The time change for the
second net helped. Signals got stronger for the first portion then
Hi Bill,
Just a general remark:
I think we need to divide protection into different topologies/ barriers/
zones. This is according to threat phenomena ( e.g. xxx kilo Amps to milli
Amps and smaller ).
Threat levels need to be reduced step by step and systematically.

No one seams to have mentioned that there is a small difference in diameter
between a 3.5mm plug and a 1/8” plug (which is 3.175mm).
However, I believe the socket on the K3 is a 3.5mm one, so that should not have
caused this.
I’m sure someone like Don can confirm this.

Hi,Several years ago Elecraft explained the firmware numbers. Lets use 2.86.

the latest fwnotes for an Elecraft product might explain the
