Re: [Elecraft] KX3 power supply

Don Thanks for the reply. I have thought long about it, and decided I would rather not risk damaging my KX3 for the sake of a cheap PSU. I live too far away from the factory to risk damaging the KX3 - it cost me $ 450.00 just to ship my new KX3 to me in June. I will leave the cheap eBay PSU

I have one spare as well. But I have to say I'm having great fun with my KIO3B. I even bought a $349 HP laptop and installed Ubuntu to run WSJT-X and fldigi. It's pretty fun. On Mon, 18 Jan 2016, James F. Boehner MD via Elecraft wrote: Can anyone let us know what the KIO3's are selling for?

Re: [Elecraft] K3 KIO3

Dr. Jim, I really don't know the answer to your question, but I suspect a fair value would be between 1/2 and 2/3 of the original price for the KIO3 option. I do not recall what that price was, but perhaps someone with an older price sheet will chime in. BTW, that estimate is my general

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 power supply

John, I would suggest that you put a diode in series with that supply - rated at 5 amps. That will reduce the voltage by the amount of the diode drop. Running the KX3 (or any other device) above the specified maximum voltage is done at your own peril - it may work, but it taxes the

The PAE power supply works fine, but it still puts out enough hash that I can't use my loop antenna near it. It is better than others? Probably, but still not usable for me when near the receiving antenna. Chip AE5KA On Mon, Jan 18, 2016 at 5:38 PM, Matt Murphy wrote: > I

Well, first, I don’ recognize the CBLP3T cable. Maybe you meant CBLP3Y? If so, I think yu would still need a DE-9 “Y” cable to connect at the P3 at which ever port you used before (TXCVR or PC). Be sure to set CONFIG:RS-232 to USB and not 38400 as before. And now your audio input/output is

Re: [Elecraft] USB Soundcard

There are some pretty convincing measurements that show that the SignaLink USB is not as good as it should be. For this application, the SignaLink is useless, because for I/Q output from the KX3, he’ll need stereo in. The SignaLink is mono. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj

John, I do have a horse in this race (the Kx33), but I will tell you that in testing many supplies I have seen that many of them have poor regulation. Some show as much as 25% peak over-voltage which you would need a scope to see when a load is removed, which is the situation when the KX3

Thanks for the info Bob, and it’s reassuring to see that the KX3 has protection for over voltage. One caveat with this PSU - I just tried to insert the DC plug from this PSU to the KX3, and I see it is too large for the KX3. Not a big deal, I will just cut it off and fit the correct size DC
