Kenwood MC-50 is easy obtain new or used. It's a convenient dynamic mic with adequate audio. Any Heil mic is a good choice.

[Elecraft] P3 CW/data text decode?
I just upgraded from a KX3/PX3 to a K3s/P3. On my PX3, I could hold a key (LABELS?) to get a two-line display of characters the KX3 decoded in CW and data modes. I can't find this feature on my P3. Is it there? The only place the owner's manual mentions text decode is in the SVGA section. I do not have the SVGA option. How do I make the P3 display decoded text?

Or, make up a short adapter cable from the K3 to the microphone plug. That way, neither the microphone nor the K3 is modified.

Ron - I don't use a desk mic, I prefer a headset, but pretty much any mic will sound great because the K3 offers a lot of versatility in the TX equalizer and other settings. I've seen posts about guys using $4.99 computer mics.

I love my W2 software for my remote base, but I am looking for a client that takes up much less screen space, at least for the basic meter movement. More importantly, I tend to use it in client/server mode, so the part I would like is the Client side that is IP connected to the host side. Has anyone written something different?

Re: [Elecraft] K-Pod Question
Hi Jim: This is the announcement made by Wayne with a link to an image of the K-Pod Hi all, We've had many requests for a small control panel (or pod) as an extension to the K3 and K3S transceivers. We finally got around to it! Our new K-Pod is a very compact unit, featuring a precision tuning knob, VFO A/B/offset rocker switch, and 8 programmable tactile-feedback switches. Switch feedback is provided by activation messages on the radio's LCD, as well as the pod's own 4 indicator LEDs and audio tone generator. This multi-modal information can help maximize operating efficiency and reduce fatigue during extended operating periods. Typically the K-Pod would be placed next to a computer keyboard, allowing the operator to quickly QSY, clear RIT, enter diversity mode, change menu settings, etc., without that long stretch to reach the radio's front panel. But the K-Pod's flexible interface goes beyond substitution of the radio's knobs and switches. In effect, you can design your own customized controls for the radio. Each of the 8 programmable switches has tap and hold functions. When a switch function is used, it activates one of up to 16 user-defined command sequences that are actually stored in the radio itself, as macros. A single macro can accomplish many tasks at once, such as setting up custom splits, configuring the receiver or subreceiver for specific situations, sending transmit messages at differing code speeds, etc. Macros can be easily created or edited using K3 Utility, which runs on PC, Mac, or Linux platforms. The K-Pod has the following features: * high-quality weighted, soft-touch tuning knob--same as used on the K3S * same 400-count, ball-bearing optical encoder used in the K3 and K3S * adjustable knob friction * 3-position rocker switch to assign the knob to VFO A, VFO B, or RIT/XIT * 8 programmable function switches, each with tap/hold functions * simple switch programming using K3 Utility (many examples in K-Pod manual) * four user-definable LEDs (three of them show knob assignment by default) * audio tone generator for switch feedback (can be easily turned off) * USB port for firmware loading and future equipment/computer control applications * simple connection to K3 or K3S--uses the 6-pin RJ-style jack beneath the front panel * flexible power source: rear 12-V jack on the radio, DC barrel jack, USB port, or even through the 6-pin data cable, with minor radio modification (the latter method results in a single cable to the K-Pod for data and power) * 3 utility outputs for miscellaneous equipment control applications (outputs provide a low resistance to ground when turned on, usable with relays, etc.) The K-Pod's all-steel enclosure weighs a full pound for excellent stability, yet measures only about 3.5 x 3 x 1 inches. A highly stable folding tilt stand is included to angle the panel for optimal access. There's also a 2-hole RAM mount pattern on the bottom for easy attachment to any surface.

Re: [Elecraft] AFSK-A with K3s
Yes, my problem was not when sending RTTY with a paddle, it was when using MMTTY and I was trying to send FSK. All I could hear was one tone, not the two tones of mark space. I thought it was nice not to hear the two tones when listening. I did not realize I could not properly key the K3s without an additional hardware. Now I have the K3s set to use AFSK A so that I don't need to have additional hardware/connections and no longer use the paddles to send, only MMTTY. When I use MMTTY I have to have the PTT-KEY set to OFF-OFF. When I switch to N1MM I have to have it set to DTR-RTS. I have problems of locked down transmission if I don't and switch to CW from the RTTY setting. As a result, I can't have both MMTTY and N1MM running at the same time. I'm guessing this may have to do with a RTS setting in the software but haven't had time to work it out. 73, Gary KA1J > This is not AGSK A mode.

Re: [Elecraft] , K3 Gold Plated Plug Replacment
The remaining tin-plated connectors are not a problem because both the pins and sockets are the same metal. The problem with the replaced connectors is that the sockets were tin-plated and the pins were gold-plated (maybe the other way around). Over time the dissimilarity of these two metals develop some coating that gradually can cause intermittent electrical connection. The fix is to replace these locations with gold-plated connections. Ed W0YK ___ Dave KD1NA wrote: I have an old K3 ( Serial # 934 ) and was starting to be plagued by interconnection problems inside of my K3 caused by the tin plated plugs. After contacting Elecraft I received 2 connector kits. One for the 100 watt power amp connections ( KPA3 ) and one for the front panel ( J30 and 35 ). Since I installed these gold plated pluge my interconnection problems seem to have gone away. I am still concerned about the remaining tin plated plugs in my K3 but Elecraft indicated that there has been no known issues with these remaining tin plated connectors.

Re: [Elecraft] , K3 Gold Plated Plug Replacment
I have K3 #202 and over the years I replaced all of the pin connectors that were recommended by Elecraft. I have had no issues after installing the replacements connectors. 73, Ken K3IU ~~ On 4/20/2016 8:27 AM, David Robertson wrote: Everyone, I have an old K3 ( Serial # 934 ) and was starting to be plagued by interconnection problems inside of my K3 caused by the tin plated plugs.
