[Elecraft] PR6 Preamp - control connection
My wonderful XYL gave me the PR6 for Christmas - trying to figure out how to connect the control wire as I have the cable to the KAT500 / KPA500 already in the ACC socket - the instructions say if the ACC is in use to just connect the control wire to pin 11. Anyone have an easy way to do this? I have the Elecraft cables which are all molded so no access to the back of the connectors. I can't seem to find a VGA breakout box.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 question
I just added the KPA500 and the KAT500 last month - first amp I've ever had but so cannot compare but love it! Issue for me was ability to run on 120 volts. Great fun to assemble both and as mentioned nice compact grouping / size for my space constraints.

The K-Line amounts to a fully automated (no tuning or knob twisting) 500 Watt HF station. Last time I saw that was a Halicrafters Tornado. I changed my entire radio desk to create more storage and shelves from the space formerly used by a large tube amp and the large tuner I used with it. The K3 and P3 take about the same space the previous HF rig took and the KPA500 and KAT500 take just slightly more space than the K3 by itself. In other words, the K-Line is extremely space efficient.

[Elecraft] K3 transmit toggle for AFSK-A
I usually use my K3 / P3VGA for RTTY but was playing around this weekend trying to get use the K3 utility and Fldigi on my Mac to work - receives fine on both but neither will trigger the transmit command - both programs act like they are sending the text but the rig does not go into transmit. Have tried using both the transmit button and ^T with the K3 utility and Hamlib on Fldigi (with PTT set to hamlib command) which otherwise seems to be exchanging commands OK. CW works fine on the K3 utility but not on Fldigi. Tried VOX on and off - went through the Elecraft and Fred Cady's book and am still stumped - otherwise the Mac and the K3 seem to be talking well to each other. I am sure it is operator error and clearly need some help!

[Elecraft] KPA500 and KAT500, befuddlement re: cables
After 45+ years as a ham I am contemplating adding an amplifier - a KPA500 and KAT500 to complement my precious K3 and P3. I have downloaded both manuals and it must be my age catching up with me - I am flummoxed by trying to figure out the cables I need. If I understand it, I will need the cable that comes with the KPA500 and the KPAK3AUX while not necessary allows complete integration with the K3. What confuses me is what cables I need to order with the KAT500 - I see E850863 and E180980 cables. Obviously, I want to just place one order and make sure I have all I need but don't want to order anything I don't. I seem to recall a number of issues discussed on the reflector - did a search of the archives but still don't understand - especially about the Y cable. Love my K3, P3, and KX3 and all I have learned from the group here.

Re: [Elecraft] the net

Every now and then, one of them is a little ways above the noise but not by much. Maybe there could be a Western Elecraft net and an Eastern or Midwestern Elecraft net.

[Elecraft] P3SVGA advice please
Am thinking of adding the P3SVGA to my P3 - will need to get a new monitor too. In reading the eham reviews etc I am wondering about what size monitor folks might recommend. FYI I am 63 years old and eyes still pretty good other than the small print conspiracy. Desk space not really an issue. Working distance typical desk-top. Of course typically the bigger is better was my first thought but upon reflection perhaps that could be overwhelming. I appreciate the groups wisdom! Love my K3, and KX3!

[Elecraft] K3 - getting a sub receiver - filter suggestions + dvr
Greeting all. Between my birthday and Christmas my wife has OK'd the purchase of the sub-receiver for my K3 (#6623). I have read the recommendations by Wayne on the order site and originally thought I would just duplicate the filters in the main receiver (2.7, 400, 200) as I do mostly CW and Data but I do enjoy casual SSB also. I note form Frank Cady's book that the primary reason for having the filters the same is diversity reception and that do not need to be the same. Right now finances only allow 2 additional filters. So I have been giving it some thought - would it be reasonable to put say a 1,0 filter and a 2.1 filter in the sub or perhaps match the 400 and add either a 1.0 or 2.1? I realize that my operating style influences this - I am not a contester - just enjoy casual operating and some DX. The other issue would be adding the DVR - I was thinking of getting it just because it looks like it is easiest to install it at the time of the subreceiver addition though I am not sure how much I would use it and if I don't get it - I can probably add one more filter. Found Elecraft last Spring - now have K3 and KX3 and love them and this reflector.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft SSB Net results (8/5/12)
Bad news / good news. First the bad - while waiting for my KX3 I sold my other radios and bought a K3/100 and P3 which I just love - have been trying for the last 4 weeks to check in on Sunday but noise level here just too high! (sigh) and bad timing for me for the CW net - will keep trying. Good news, just received the e-mail from April and my KX3 will ship next week. Hope to catch you all eventually.

[Elecraft] New K3!, sn 6623
A couple of weeks ago I posted that to keep me busy while I wait for my KX-3 (not ordered until 3/31 so I have a while yet) - I bought a K3 kit - arrived last Friday and just finished this AM (lots of honey do's this last weekend). What a blast putting it together and what a beauty! So number 6623 is ready to go - now I just need to figure out all the settings, have been reading the manual for a couple of weeks but nothing like finally getting to twist the knobs! Thanks to all on the reflector for your knowledge and encouragement - see you on the air!
