[David Bunte]

Frank -

I can't see any reason that would not work just fine.

[Elecraft] Adding Filters to K3

[Frank]

I have an Elecraft K3 with a subreceiver with 3 of the 5 slots filled 
with filters.  For SSB both the main and sub receivers have a 2.8 khz. 
filter.  I have one 1.8 khz. filter I would like to add to the main 
receiver.  Can I add this filter to the main receiver and leave the 
corresponding sub receiver slot vacant?  I understand only the main 
receiver would benefit from the 1.8 khz filter and I am fine with that.  
The sub receiver would still use the 2.8 khz. filter I assume.  Any 
thoughts would be appreciated.


Thanks,

Frank

[Elecraft] K3s For Sale

[John Pierce]

Due to lack of use I am selling my Elecraft Equipment.  Is a great rig and
worthy of consideration

Lightly used in  a non-smoking environment

.K3S 160-6M 100 W Transceiver

.KFL3A 400Hz High Perf. CW/Data Filter

.Standard 2.7kHz SSB Filter

.   KBPF3a  General Coverage (100khz & up)

. NeopreneSoft Grip on the Main VFO knob

. USB cable   Access to the internet software updates

.  K3Book by  Fred Cady

. MH2Hand Microphone

. Software  Latest software installed for K3s

.Owners Manual

 

I have over $4,200 invested.  My Asking price $2,700

Shipped in a K3S box

AD2F ja-pie...@verizon.net

 

The unit was not a factory build.  I was in Computer engineering for 40
years and retired as the Quality Assurance Director for a company that was
building and supplying flight worthy equipment to the Air Craft industry.
That equipment is currently in use on Aircraft to give flyers internet
access.  The only thing that I did not know when I purchased the K3,  is
that Elecraft preforms  Burn In on the Factory Builds.  At Honeywell we also
performed Burn In to weed out weak components that could fail in early life.
Using the K3s for over two  years without any component failures is a good
substitute for what the Factory Burn In accomplishes. You can confirm that
with a  call to Elecraft.   I have built many rigs over the years and found
that the K3s was not complicated to assemble.

Re: [Elecraft] KAT100 - Reluctant to come on, K2 often displays "not inst"

[Don Wilhelm]

Bill,

Are you looking at the K2 MCU firmware or the KAT100 firmware?
The KAT100 firmware currently is 1.05, and the 1.04 should work OK.

If you looked at the K2 firmware (hold any button while powering on and 
it will be briefly displayed), then the level to support the KAT100 must 
be 2.03d or above.


73,
Don W3FPR

Sadly, I have no old PIC chips for the KAT100 in my inventory. It came out of 
the box with the 1.04 firmware (which isn’t the latest, but I don’t have the 
K60XV, either.)

I do have a second DB9 cable I can try, if I can find it.
