Re: [Elecraft] KX3 setting up digital

BIll, I believe that in Data mode, the bias if switched on in SSB is automatically switched off. You are right about point 1, that tripped up a lot of people, including your's truly. 73 from David GM4JJJ > On 8 May 2016, at 15:46, Bill Frantz wrote: > > I had to set

Thanks Michael, let us know when you hear anything back from them. I wonder if the same thing happens with a K3? 73 from David GM4JJJ > On 2 May 2016, at 18:41, Michael Blake wrote: > > I only received two customer responses and they both confirmed what I am > seeing on my

Re: [Elecraft] TX Noise Gate on KX3 kills VOX delay setting

Yes I noticed this a while ago. I never use VOX on SSB, but I do use the noise gate which is excellent. I consider it a bug I must say. Another gotcha is if you have SSB+CW ON and VOX is OFF, the Keyer will key the amplifier Keyline out at the CW rate! 73 from David GM4JJJ > On 30 Apr 2016,

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 - How to enable RF output meter? Stuck in ALC display

David, This happens when SSB + CW is enabled. In CW WGHT menu tap 1 to toggle between SSB+CW (enabled) and SSB - CW Tapping Keyer/Mic knob toggles between Keyer speed and Mic Gain rather than Meter Scales CMP/ALC and SWR/RF. The CMP/ALC scale is still shown temporarily when CMP or Mic Gain

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 CW Msg send

Barry, You can set the KX3 up for single button message send. * FAST MESSAGE PLAY: A long-hold of MSG (~3 sec) puts the KX3 into FAST PLAY mode. In this mode, the BAND+, BAND-, and FREQ_ENT switches can be used to play/repeat messages 1, 2, and 3 immediately, without the need to first tap

Re: [Elecraft] What's best Soundcard Interface for KX3

George, check that Data is set to DATA A. (Change it using the VFO B knob). Also widen the filter passband when in DATA mode and it should work. Also make sure that you have DATA A set to USB and not LSB ( Hold ALT to change it from one to the other). There are advantages in DATA rather than

Re: [Elecraft] Stripping toroid leads

I seem to recall they could produce cyanide fumes. Best to use good ventilation and a fume extractor fan with filter if you are doing a lot of them. I like the smell of solder flux, but after reading about the health problems they can cause I invested in a fume extractor here. 73 from David

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 anomaly, birdie transmitted

Hi John, That is normal, as the KX3 is a direct conversion receiver and the LO can radiate through the antenna, however to reduce this Elecraft have put in an isolation preamp which you can enable and should reduce the level of this. Try changing RX ISO to ON in the KX3 menu. 73 from David

Re: [Elecraft] 10 MHz external reference - GPSDO

Hi Oli, I agree it looks like there is no point in paying for the TCXO-3 if you have a reliable constantly available 10 MHz external reference. Perhaps they recommend the better TCXO as a better fallback if for any reason the external ref is not available, I can't think of any other reason for

Re: [Elecraft] 10 MHz external reference - GPSDO

Oliver, I was wondering about this, I guess it is just that the short term drift is lower so it won't drift as much between frequency measurement corrections which are made for 1 second every 4 seconds according to some info recently published. I doubt it matters much though. I would be tempted

Re: [Elecraft] 10 MHz external reference - GPSDO

Dick, I found the reference to that figure I quoted, it is in the K3EXREF manual: The K3EXREF option locks the K3's reference oscillator frequency to an external 10 MHz source by automatically controlling the REF CAL function. While locked to the external source, the K3’s reference oscillator
