Ditto here as well, and that's comparing my K3 #2730 to a stock FT-1000.
Wow, I thought it was just me. I never gave it much of a second thought,

sensitive receiver.
I've worked long pileups from 4U1UN and the FT-1000, and
Paul, does the volume level between main and sub receivers differ if both

Hello fellow Elecrafters,
Sorry for the OT post here guys, but I just wanted to share with you that I
passed my element 4 exam today with flying colors. Hope to have my license
info updated on the ULS within a few days!

Congratulations, James.
It's always satisfying to reach a goal.
Now what
Hi Mike,
Thanks for your email. Good deal on the brownie points! I however, even as
a new Extra don't impress some of my colleagues at work. One of them is the
station master for 4UN1UN (I work at the UN), so I have a lot to live up
too!

Yup... that would make me a no-code Extra.
I am working on learning the code though!

What do I need to interface this microphone to my K3? To my understanding,
the K3 uses the same pin configuration as a Kenwood, so would all I need is
this mic, a trigger, and a Heil Kenwood cable??

Hi Phil,
Just for clarification, would that be the CC1 XLR-K cable?

That's all you need. I use
That Kenwood weighted knob from WA7U looks like an almost perfect fit. Was
the shaft OD on the Kenwood's VFO similar to the K3?

I don't think it's possible; at least not in software. Looks like something
(i.e. LCD screen backlighting or the entire LCD itself) in hardware would
have to be replaced.

Yes I'm only 30. I got my first ticket last November. I still have a lot
to learn; CW being one of them. Thankfully, there are a lot of helpful
people out there that have been more than willing to point me in the right
direction. I'm truly grateful.

I think if a nuclear weapon went off anywhere near my QTH, the K3 would
probably be the last thing I'd be worried about.

Hello group,
I upgraded to 3.03 the other night, and immediately noticed several
fast-tuning birdies in places where I'm 95% sure were not there prior to the
update. Switching antenna jacks or removing the antennas all together makes
no difference. These birdies are only noticeable on the
1 - 100 of 331 matches
