[Elecraft] K3 Extreme
I keep a pair of OMNI VI+ and a pair of K3's, can't think of anything else in the world that I would use for frontline HF. I take the audio out of the VI+ before the DSP gets it per N1EU's suggestion and have Inrad 2.8 and 400's fitted in there. Puts tha vast majority of DSP rigs to shame. ;-) Sounds like The Sirens that's why I can never leave the shack. http://www.zerobeat.net/mediawiki/index.php/K3_EXTREME W0GI wrote: A TT Omni panel???

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Extreme sig mod

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Extreme sig mod
I believe that the boot up detection is only to determine whether the jumper is installed, not whether it has been activated by a strong signal. I really don't see a need to report that the jumper is installed on the display since one would surely remember if the jumper has been installed. It does work, by the way. I put my K2 on a nearby antenna and keyed it with power at about 1 watt while the K3 was listening on a nearby frequency with the preamp ON. With a couple of dits, the preamp turned OFF and with a continuous carrier, it turned the attenuator ON. No measurements made. 73, Ken K3IU ~~` Brett Howard wrote: Where I think it should be reported is in the kxxx area of the menu.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Extreme sig mod
Dmm doesn't provide assurance that you have the right points. I personally wanted assurance and so I used my k1 a dummy load and my dmm to test.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Extreme sig mod
I don't understand the fear of menu items. Honestly care not either way but I know a few people who simply wanted to be certain that the software saw the mod. Perhaps say it sees it on the first power up. But that would require that you update the firmware before putting the mod in place and would probably require more code than a menu item. I'm just trying to come up with options ideas and solutions to a problem that many would like confirmation. However there are always those who would rather do nothing than think of new ideas.
