[Elecraft] K3/0 (Original) odd behaviour
Hi All, I have a K3/0 that I've had for quite a while. I remote with the K3/0 mini, but would love to have the K3/0 for SO2R. I can't seem to get the K3/0 communicating, though it worked fine in the past. Here's the weird symptoms: If I use the K3 Utility, I can communicate fine with it. It finds the K3/0 right away, and even updated the firmware. However, if I connect it to an RC, it does nothing at power up. If I connect a Terminal program to it, I see it issue a BREAK (Hex 00) at power up and nothing else. I presume it should send a PS1; to turn on the remote K3 Power? Any help or hints appreciated. 73, Gerry W1VE __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 odd behaviour
Thank you Grant. That document is very useful. Yes, I was probably inadvertently rummaging about in that area of settings. I hope I haven't inadvertently degraded sideband rejection, and as far as I can tell all seems fine. That document didn't come with the filter kit, which might have helped, although the procedure looks quite involved. Maybe Electraft have reasons for not encouraging fiddling with settings that are already correctly set up in the factory. 73, Ian, G4JQT From: Grant Youngman Sent: 08 September 2020 18:20 To: Ian Liston-Smith Cc: Elecraft Refl Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KX3 odd behaviour There is an auto-mode for opposite sideband nulling to calibrate the KXFL3.

[Elecraft] KX3 odd behaviour
While calibrating the KXFL3 filter I somehow got the KX3 into some weird mode where without touching it, the main display showed digits that that changed by themselves. Unfortunately I have no idea what combination of buttons caused this and I think I switched it off to just stop it. As far as I can tell the KX3 is behaving perfectly normally, but I'm curious to know what Tech Mode I might have got it in to and what to check to see what might have changed that shouldn't have changed. Thanks. 73, Ian, G4JQT __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] Digest questions / new K4 list or group
Steve, Most email clients include the ability to set filters. My Thunderbird filters everything with [Elecraft] in the subject line into my Elecraft sub-box under my Inbox. I can then reply to (or delete) any post I choose to. My account is set to send individual emails. In other words, I have my own "digest" of individual emails. I do the same for groups-io lists that I subscribe to. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/8/2020 7:54 AM, Steven G. Steltzer wrote: Am I missing something in the settings? I get the digest emails. However they are usually very long because a lot of the posts contain the entire previous digest. Takes forever to scroll through to get to the ones I wan to read. I assume this is because senders hit "reply to all" and do not bother to cut the copy of everything out?

Re: [Elecraft] Digest questions / new K4 list or group
Well, what's worse than an email with pages of replies, is an email that simply says: "Thanks, that fixed my problem" with no hint of WHAT the problem was or, HOW it got fixed". I'm not sure how I have my email/forum input etc. set-up, but I like it just the way it is. All input shows up as a separate email. If it's a subject I don't care about I delete it. I would not want a separate K4 forum, since I have varying interests is ALL Elecraft products. I vote for leaving things exactly the way they are on this, to me anyway, very useful forum (if that's even the correct word for it). 73, Charlie k3iCH -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Jim Clymer Sent: Tuesday, September 08, 2020 8:10 AM To: Steven G.
