Norton will allow you to override and installs it just fine.

Hi all,

My Norton Internet Security removed the KX3 firmware update utility from my
Windows 7 PC after I tried to download it, based on crowdsourcing criteria
(only a few hundred users and over a year old).

Any suggestions on how to get around this?

Thanks!

Ray,

If you provide the K2 with an IF output, the P3 will work just fine as a 
panadapter.  You need a buffer amplifier for the IF output.
LP-Pan will also work, but you need software running on the computer -
NaP3 or Win4K3 should work nicely.

Hi Mike,

You can use the KY command to do that.

Use the K3 Utility to program separate macros with:

KY VE3WDM;

KY 599 CA;

KY TU;

Write them to the K3.

Then use the KPod buttons to send.

You can't send an increasing number for a report although if you have a P3
with SVGA you could.

Re: [Elecraft] KPOD- POWER Macro

In a TAP position I have   TUNE5WPC005;SWH16;  goes into 5W tune,
Tap again it goes to operate. 

In the corresponding HOLD I have  TUNE15W   PCO15;SWH16;   Goes to  5W
tune(I have the CONFIG TUNE PWR set to 5W), sets the drive level to 15W.
 TAP it again it goes to operate. That  gives me 475W out on 160mtrs. That

  Does anyone have a macro that PRESS tunes at one power, and HOLD tunes at

Locate RS-232 in the CONFIG menu and set it to "USB" instead of a number.

 A straight key ... any quality straight key.  Don't move to paddles or 
 a bug until you learn proper timing/spacing.
 

I have to agree.  Straight key first, without question.  VIbroplex, J-38,  yada 
yada, just about anything that is a decent key.  Many to choose from.  Learn 
the code and most importantly GOOD timing.  Get your speed up.  Then worry 
about a bug or single/dual lever paddles and the different keyer modes, and 
don’t be in a hurry to move to something glitzy.

Re: [Elecraft] Getting Started With CW

[Leroy Marion]

I have from the Schurr Profi to home made keys.
 One of the best I have is the Norcal paddles  Kit key,.
It’s a magnetic(versus springs ) type key. I did put silver contacts on it.
It was picked up by Vibroplex and made as the Code Warrior, I think.
I don’t think Elecraft sells the magnetic paddles by Bencher 
anymore.
  Another favorite that is in use right now is the N3ZN key, also 
magnetic tension.
   Now that my hand has become partially paralyzed, I am using

Keying, and I like it a lot. Probably the wave of the future and the saving

Here is a different problem for K2 gurus:

 

   Using a Kenwood MC-60, when keyed it toggles the K2 into transmit, 

and won't come out of transmit until you cycle power switch.

  Hand mic or Heil  with foot switch works fine.

Batteries in or out of MC-60 makes no difference. It worked for 

Years normally.

I am on the same path, just ordered a KX3 and likewise will add the paddle

my 'list' the whole time.  About 6 weeks ago, I picked up at Nye-Viking
straight key.  It took a while to feel comfortable with it but through the
same time period, my copy speed got better. I recommend the Nye-Viking for
a straight key.  Having read the Begali reviews for 2 years (similar to
Elecraft for product function and quality, engineering  customer service
reviews), I sprung for the Begali Simplex.  Received it this past Thursday.
It was a little more $, but after having hooked it up and used it - it's a

 I have ordered probably wont be in my hands until sometime around
 Christmas based on the other emails I see of order date to ship date, I

 interim.

 I am thinking about possibly getting two different keys - a straight

 Iambic keyer paddle as my cw skills improve.  While I probably wont do
 CW all of the time, it doesnt hurt to be more fluent in that mode than I
 currently am.

 Would appreciate any suggestions in this area that anyone here has.

[Elecraft] KX3

[Leroy Marion]

Wow!  A while back when we were throwing out ideas for an 
Elecraft wish list, I expressed a desire for a KX1 that covered
15 and 10 meters.  I sure got that and more!

  I’m tempted to ask for a 100 MPG hover craft and
see what happens!

My only question now is how do I 
pre-order one of these.

[Elecraft] Yet another product idea

[Leroy Marion]

  I  enjoy QRP Give me a KX1 that does 20,  15, and WOW, 10 
mtrs!  The 80mtr end

is of no use, push it up to some real low power QRP bands. Then a handheld 2 
watts would

be incredible!  And maybe options for 17 and 12 mtrs.

[Elecraft] XV50 transverter CW use

[Leroy Marion]

  I just finished a XV50 transverter. Using it with a K2

with the KI02 control. 

  It seems to work OK when keyed for SSB. When I use 

CW, its relays click and chatter like mad. Do I have 

some thing set wrong?

Re: [Elecraft] K2 lifespan

[Leroy Marion]

  My K2 is still my favorite and most used radio. Just before this email
I was building the K60XV option so I can add the XV50 tranverter I just
ordered.
   It's a QRP machine. I'm mostly CW, but its fun to get on SSB and astonish
the QRO ops with 10 watts. Most don't know until you tell them.
   I  also have the K1 and the KX1, they are as high quality and fun.
The workhorse is my K2.

Its been a fun run that’s not over for me.

Subject: [Elecraft] K2 lifespan

Hi,

Hope this list is for questions like this, apologies if not. Never
used an Elecraft, thinking about getting a K2, and was wondering what
people thought about it, especially at this time, 11 years later.
Looks like it came out in 2000? I like the reviews and I don't think
I'm advanced enough for a K3 so, just wanted to hear what others
though about the life on this rig. Will it be replaced anytime soon?

Re: [Elecraft] MH2 Microphone audio quality

[Leroy Marion]

Thanks for help Don.  I just bought mic  new from Elecraft.
You hit on something that might be a problem. I remember
some resistor changes to the KSB2 or audio in circuits.
I will look at the mods section, I changed something way back,
But don't remember if it was Elecraft mod or not.

Did you purchase this K2 used, and/or do you know what is inside it?  
What I am asking is if any mods have been made to the KSB2 option, or 
maybe a mic preamp has been installed.  There have been several 
non-Elecraft mods to the KSB2, and some will work with the MH2 
microphone while others could cause distortion.

Re: [Elecraft] MH2 Microphone audio quality

[Leroy Marion]

I just purchased a MH2 to use with K2.  I'm getting reports of 5/9 but with 
some distortion or rattle audio with mic gain on 1.
If I try other mics, I get clean audio reports but way down in signal 
strength. The resistor is installed and jumpers there.
A Kenwood dynamic mike wired for K2 gets the best audio quality report, but 
with mic gain on 3, I barely put out any power.
Did I get a bad one or I am I doing something wrong?  What is the ideal 
impedance? I guess you need to use power required
mics only?
  Thanks, Roy AB7CE

Is the KPA 500 going to be K2 compatible ?

...I have a k3/10 and wonder if anybody field testing a  Kpa-500 knows how
much power out the amp will get with 10 watts of  drive

10 watts drive gives about 170 watts out - give or take 5 watts or so.

Re: [Elecraft] Taken the plunge!

[Leroy Marion]

You will not be disappointed. Just last night I worked 160 meter Delaware 
and Kentucky, QRP 10 watt SSB to 10 watt SSB, and many other QRO stations. 
I can work any state on 160 with 5 watt CW.  Astonishes the Big guns. Its 
all about antennas anyway.

Subject: [Elecraft] Taken the plunge!


Well I have officially taken the plunge and ordered a K2 today.  After much
consideration about how to configure my K2 I decided that I will make a QRP
version.  With an SSB, DSP, internal tuner options.  I'm not sure what else
I might need.  I was thinking about going the 100 watt option but I decided
that when I want more power that will be when I order a K3.  I have already
made the SSB mod but still need to add the torrids which I have not ordered
yet.

So this will be a long process due to work and family requirements but I'm
excited to be getting started soon. I know I will have many questions and I
would like to thank all of you who will spend their time answering them in
advance.
