Re: [Elecraft] New Elecraft Product: K-Pod Control Panel for K3S and K3 Transceivers

Does this mean I can connect the USB cable to my PC only when I want to upgrade the firmware using the K-Pod Utility? Or must the USB be always connected? You'd only need to connect the USB cable if you were using the K-Pod Utility app to update your pod's firmware or change its switch behavior. On the other hand, with future firmware (not committing to anything, yet!) the K-Pod should be able to emulate a mouse, keyboard, or some combination of these via its USB port. So you could use it as a general-purpose input device to control software applications.

So before I invest, let me just ask some questions: 1. Has someone compared the power indicatores for the levels of 100 - 1000 mW with a precise wattmeter? As far as I understood each led signifies 100 mW. 2. If I would use the computer readout: How precise is the output? Just 100 mW or ist it e.g. 147 mW? 3. I am working max. 10 Watt with the Kx3, but normally use only between 100 mW and 5 W max. Could I adjust with the calibration of active sensor down to let's say 1 Watt instead of 2 Watt? 4. Is it possible to modify the transformer T1 and T2 of the sensor so that the range would be (20W - 2 W and 200 mW. Or is there a sensor like this available on request from Elecraft.

Re: [Elecraft] need advice on rig
Hi Susan, I love my K3 and it may be worth you trying a little longer to get used too. And if I were going to step down in quality to me the next best rig is the Elecraft K2...not as complicated but a great CW rig.

I have never been able to get it to give the same background noise for cw as it gives for ssb. I think I want to get rid of it. Can anyone advise me of a rig, same price range, for me to purchase? Susan If you don't change direction you WILL arrive exactly where you're headed!!

Why bother? The K3 already provides all of the capability of the W2IHY 8 band EQ/noise gate, adds downward expansion in the noise gate and there is no issue with external hum loops, RF pick-up, etc. I'm still waiting for my K3 to get back from the factory, but I plan on running the full stack of W2IHY gear with a Heil GM-5 Mic. I've used wide range (broadcast style) mics and the Heil HC-5 element with the K3's internal EQ and find that configuring the K3 for a 6 dB per octave roll off below 400 Hz (50 Hz: -16dB, 100 Hz: -12dB, 200 Hz: -6 dB), a -6dB notch at 800 Hz and 6 dB per octave rise above 1000 Hz (1600 Hz: +6dB, 2400 Hz: +10dB, 3200 Hz: +12dB) yields extremely good audio reports with the broadcast mic and a lot of presence without the restricted sound on the HC-5. Coupled with CMP at 25, this provides plenty of punch without sounding over processed and all highs like the HC-4. 73, ...

I'm still waiting for my K3 to get back from the factory, but I plan on running the full stack of W2IHY gear with a Heil GM-5 Mic. I imagine I will probably end up with the comp and EQ on the rig turned off, but I'd like to hear what others do.

Great 73's Philippe A65BI K3#3616 k2qi@gmail.com 20-08-2010 18:54 Who uses the Elecraft hand mic? I do and mic gain has to be set low; i.e. around 8 or 9 to prevent clipping and flat topping as viewed on a monitor scope. This is with mic sensitivity set to low in the menu. I was once told that the hand mics are a tad hot, but mine seems to be excessively so. Regardless, my comp is set to 15 or 20 and I get excellent audio reports.

These radios has been delivered around mid-2008 and their serial numbers are in the 012xx range. After using mostly these rigs for SSB contesting in FY5KE or in other places, we are still facing a lack of dynamics, punch, penetration, power, whatever you call it. In other words, when comparing this rig to our radios we previously used (TS-850), with the same microphone (Heil HC-4 element) and the same output RF power, the K3 is clearly way behind in term of average power we can read on the Bird wattmeter wired on its RF output. Even if observing the wattmeter needle is not a very scientific measurement (we admit it), various comparative reports on the air do confirm our feeling. We spent time on various available settings (mic gain, compressor level, etc), with no luck, excepted
