Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500
Well, I was never advocating for an Elecraft legal limit amp, so I don't have a dog in this fight, but at $6K, it takes the amp out of the hobby category. I know things are expensive today, but this price point will be very self limiting. Good luck and I hope you sell a lot of them..

[Elecraft] General Coverage Module
I have the General Coverage Module in my K3, serial number 6969. Recently, whenever I listen to the broadcast band, the signals will drop out, or significantly down and an occasion audio will distort. I do not notice this in any other mode, or on the ham bands. Any thoughts?

[Elecraft] P3 Waterfall
I recently purchased a new P3/SVGA unit, and am using it with my K3 (serial # 6999). I have a few questions. First, when I engage the Marker function and use it in the waterfall window, it comes up on the P3 screen, but not on the external monitor (although it does work on the upper panadapter portion of the monitor screen). How do I get it to work on both waterfall screens? Second, I run the K3 in conjunction with my Flex5000A. I notice that the Flex waterfall appears to have considerably more detail and a more robust color scheme than the P3. The Flex also has more detail (I see signals on the Flex that barely come up on the P3). I switch between the same antenna, so that should not be a factor. Is there a sensitivity adjustment on the P3 that I need to play with? If not, I must admit that the P3 waterfall does not appear to perform nearly as well as the Flex. Finally, once you assign a function to an FN series button, is there a way to delete the assignment, short of assigning another function over it? Thanks for your input. K0GFY R.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Digest, Vol 74, Issue 2
Let me piggyback with another somewhat related question. I have an Ameco PT-3 preamp sitting in the shack. It covers all ahm bands through six meters. I plan on using it for SW listening (I do not have the general coverage module installed on the radio), and for 6 meter operation. It has an internal transmit/receive circuit. Will this set up work for both applications? I know when I tune around the SW bands I do hear signals, so I am hopeful that the preamp will help. Any guidance? WB9NJB R.

As i have a 5 el yagi at 40 ft, best i can do, it's fed with 1/2 inch hardline and is about 75 ft long. I had a Radio shack unit i found that had 10 db gain from 50 mc upwards. I did hear an increase in noise anyway FWIW but it's not what i wanted and besides it's 110Vac operated. Mainly for fringe TV reception i suspect. Anyway i'm trying to determine just how to install this thing. I have the dual fans on the back so mounting it there is not an option. Another route is definitely needed so this isn't a big problem. What i am having trouble figuring out is the cabling. I saw one picture of how a ham had done his but there was no mention of where or which port on the radio would be used. I suspect it has to be the AUX port correct? I only have one 6 meter antenna. How can i use the preamp without some sort of external ant switch? The older one gets the easier we seem to get confused. Trying to make sense of the pictures in the manual is a ride to mental instability for me. Just doesn't seem to be all the parts there to make sense. Suggestion? Otherwise, this radio is super. Getting to know how to make it work now and it's sure a lot of fun to play with.
