[Elecraft] KX3 / K3 Antenna Sharing

I've got a KX3 and a K3 - I want to share an antenna between the two radios. I do this now by manually detaching the coax from one and connecting it to the other. Are there any quality coax switches on the market that have adequate isolation between ports that I could use for this purpose?

A doublet. Center fed with either 600 ohm or 450 ohm ladder line, a 4:1 balun close to your shack and as short a length of coax from the balun to your K3 as possible. Using a tuner (either the K3 internal or an external), you will be able to work 80 through 10 meters, and possibly six meters.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 w/ KX3 & K3 & w/ KAT500

Hoop - Something must not be cabled properly. I have the same setup - K3, KX3 on a coax switch going to the KPA500 and KAT500. I can operate either K3 or KX3 with or without the amp/tuner. If my K3 is powered off and I want to use the KPA500 with the KX3, there is no issue - I can press the

Yes, you will find in the archives that this is a "normal" occurrence with the KPA500 - it IS heat/cooling related and is nothing to worry about. Jim Bennett / W6JHB Folsom, CA > On Oct 20, 2015, at 6:55 PM, Michael Cozzi wrote: > > >I am experiencing the same issue.

Byron, I also migrated from the Windows environment - nine years ago. Never did computer logging until I got my iMac. I tried MacloggerDX and really like it. Mind you, I don't do rotor control nor do I have anything to do with clusters. I operate HF CW and occasionally SSB. I do like the way

I’m another happy ASUS user. I’ve got the VN247, 23” model; VGA and two HDMI ports. One HDMI goes to my iMac and the other runs over to a Raspberry Pi micro processor. I like having dual monitors on the Mac, as it allows me the real estate to have WSJT-X, JT Bridge, and MacLoggerDX all up and

Re: [Elecraft] K3 to Pro III, my thoughts to Jeff, wb0m

Inferring that those of who have stated that we prefer the K3 over the 756 ProIII to be dunces is uncalled for and not very professional. Interestingly, the person who posted this is one of the VERY FEW who have preferred the Icom. I for one, do NOT regret it for a second. > > … maybe they

Jerry, I’m also a righty and built part of my desk / operating setup. Mine is a little different, as I have a 27” iMac - sitting off to the left. But here’s what my setup is like: - A 54” wide, 24” deep double pedestal desk with a solid core 80” wide x 32” deep door sitting on top. This gives

Re: [Elecraft] IC-756 ProIII & K3S

Jeff - I sold a Pro III (and my little old K2) back in 2010 in order to help pay for my K3. I am not one bit sorry I did that! I started out with a K3/100 kit, internal ATU and two additional filters: the 400 Hz 8 pole and the 1.8 KHz 8 pole filter. I loved it in this rather “bare”

Re: [Elecraft] Serious weak-signal VHF operators?

Yep - that W6PQL 80 watt, all mode, 2 meter amp works great! I built one last year from scratch - even fabricated the case/chassis myself. First time I’d ever done any sheet metal work and surprisingly came out pretty darn well. The amp works just fine, driven by my K3. Jim / W6JHB > On

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 (or, K3) 2-meter solid-state amplifier

I built that W6PQL 80 watt amp last year. Built the aluminum chassis, too. I did not have a sheet metal brake, but a few minutes on Google turned up quite a few home-brew brake plans. I built one of them and used it to form the chassis for my amp, and later on a couple other small boxes for
