Re: [Elecraft] 630m on K3/S

A properly equipped K3 or K3S is a good receiver on 630m and as Don pointed out will produce 0.5 mW from the Xverter interface. I've made the mods and checked the output on my 10 year old K3 and it's good to go. There are several amplifier designs on the web that will give 50-100 watts output

[Elecraft] Dish/Direct TV RFI?

For multiple reasons we dumped satellite TV.  Cable service was gone 10 years ago. While the DSS receiver and its associated power supply didn't give me any issues, I found the plastic box in which the receiver was contained offered little to no shielding from my HF transmitters. 

[Elecraft] DirecTV RFI

I was an early adopter of DirecTV due to my hatred of the local cable company.  I had to install my first dish. Over the years I've had a number of receivers that were immune to ham band signals (1500w), but had ONE that was terrible.  One watt of RF on 40m would render it useless as it turned

I do not recommend disabling updates unless your ham station computer is not connected to the internet. Most ham computers ARE connected to the internet, and updates are necessary to keep up with security issues. If you are developing software, then an internet isolated computer is necessary.

You can also use device manager to remove the USB device you want to remove. Reboot and see if that fixes your issue, if not, It may require more research. If you are using RTTY software, that could also be the culprit. In the latter, remove and reinstall after doing the previous. 73, Bill

Re: [Elecraft] 630m on K3/S

Eric, Are you kidding? Yes, the K2 can receive 630 meters with a suitable transverter, but it would have to have an input/output frequency at 14 MHz or above. The K3 with the new synthesizers and the upgrades to the KBPF3 can tune down to that band, as can the K3S with the KBPF3 option.
