Re: [Elecraft] K3S Sub Receiver stopped working
I often find the second receiver switching to ANT 2, which on my K3 is a dummy load. Easy to diagnose and fix using BSET, but a bit annoying.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3S] sub receiver filter recommendation
Thanks to all respondents. To clear up one point... "Migration," as per Elecraft, means to transfer whatever components in a K3 that will work to a K3S. In my case, just filters. I end up with a new K3S and the original K3, ie two radios. I have never operated SO2V in a contest. So, my curiosity is focused on which CW filter in the sub-receiver, if any, works best in the SO2V contest environment. With the K3, I have usually run with the 500cps filter, so I'm guessing there should be no significant difference when operating SO2V. But, I want(ed) to get a feel for this mode from others who have used it in contests. The Elecraft 400cps filter seems to be slightly preferable to the 500cps filter for reasons cited. Diversity is not an option here [limited antennas]. Again thanks. ...robert On 3/11/2019 01:59, Robert G Strickland via Elecraft wrote: I am migrating my K3 [Ser# 6232] to a K3S with a sub-receiver.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Sub-Receiver: How to Hear Both Receivers?
Byron wrote: For example, listening to a DX operator who is running split. I would like to hear the DX on the Main, and both Listen and Transmit on the Sub. Don replied: I prefer to tune through the pileup with the big knob and place my transmit frequency at what I consider a good spot. The DX station does not often move, so once I tune in the DX with the VFO B knob, there is no reason to change VFO B. Byron, don't give up! Your instincts are entirely correct: use the main receiver for the DX and the sub for the pileup. Four good reasons: 1. By any meaningful definition of the term DX, the DX station is likely to be *much* weaker and more difficult to copy than stations in the pileup. In some parts of the world, the DX station will also be subject to strong and deliberate jamming that will make copy extremely difficult. 2. But you still need to copy *every detail* of what the DX station sends. Above all, you need 100% copy of the callsign that he's currently replying to - in the hope that it's yours, of course, and then to confirm that he copied it correctly. 3. You don't need good copy at all from the pileup. You only need to identify a frequency where someone is sending 599 but you don't need to know who that was, and you probably won't even call on that frequency. It doesn't need your best receiver to do that. 4. The Main and Sub receivers are not equal. The Main is by far your best receiver because all the QRM-fighting features and controls are immediately to hand. Many controls for the Sub cannot be reached without first holding BSET, and the Sub may not have the full complement of filters. So stick with the method you know, Byron. The K3 can do it, and it *will* net you more DX. 73 from Ian GM3SEK __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] K3S Sub-Receiver: How to Hear Both Receivers?
Byron, First, it is not possible to transmit on the Sub - it is receive only. I don't know what you mean by have the signals on both the main and sub-receivers - if you turn on the SUB, you will have the main in one ear and the SubRX in the other. You can hear signals in the main RX, and also in the SubRX (if you have the SUB turned on). Normally the main RX frequency is displayed in VFO A and the subRX frequency is in VFO B. Your transmit frequency will be on VFO A unless you go SPLIT and then it changes to VFO B. If you have any question about which VFO will be used for transmit, look at the arrow to the right of the display - it points to the VFO that will be used for transmit. With the K3 in SPLIT, the transmit arrow will point to VFO B, and that will be the frequency you will transmit on, so you would tune VFO A to the DX and tune VFO B to the pileup to find the spot you wish to transmit. With the SubRX on, you can accomplish the same thing without going into SPLIT, but you will transmit on VFO A - tune that vfo to the pileup, and with VFO B, tune to the DX station. It is not complicated as long as you observe the transmit arrow display. I prefer to tune through the pileup with the big knob and place my transmit frequency at what I consider a good spot. The DX station does not often move, so once I tune in the DX with the VFO B knob, there is no reason to change VFO B. 73, Don W3FPR On 8/9/2015 6:52 PM, Byron Peebles wrote: Is there a way to have the signals on both the main and sub-receivers?

You don't need to do anything special except have two speakers or a stereo headset. One output goes to left speaker and the other to the right speaker.

I think this is another un-learning experience for me, coming from a radio with two big knobs. It makes sense to reverse the way I used the VFOs in the past, so I have to learn the mechanics of quickly going split, locking the Sub, and working the VFO A DX-receive frequency. I have seen this written-up, but it didn't hit home until your note. Great tip, Don.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Sub Receiver
As Ken's response indicates, the number of uses is probably as varied as the number of K3S/KRX3 owners. Most people will use the sub RX to listen to the pile-up when working DX, others will use it in contests to search for contacts, and others will use it like Ken is doing, to hear openings on a different band than the operating band.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Sub Receiver
It's likely not a common usage, but mine's parked on 6M with a dedicated 6M antenna listening for openings. 73 Ken - K0PP On Jul 30, 2015 10:10 AM, David Ahrendts davidahren...@me.com wrote: How would you use the K3S Sub Receiver?

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Sub Receiver
Diversity on 144 MHz HPol and Vpol X-Yagis on EME with two transverters locked by a common LO and 10 MHz GPS. There's no other rig than can do this like the K3 with SubRX.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Sub Receiver
Yes. During 6M E-skip season, my K3 is usually monitoring either 50.125 or 50.276 in the main RX, with the sub-RX in the CW band, and the P3 displaying 50.080 to 50.280. With this setup, I'll quickly see any band activity. The 50.276 RX will feed WSJT-X. Once short-sequence ISCAT-B gains more traction, I'll monitor 50.248, the ISCAT-B calling frequency. On HF, I use the Sub-RX for Diversity reception, and to listen on my TX frequency when I'm running split. 73, Jim K9YC On Thu,7/30/2015 9:27 AM, Ken G Kopp wrote: It's likely not a common usage, but mine's parked on 6M with a dedicated 6M antenna listening for openings. 73 Ken - K0PP On Jul 30, 2015 10:10 AM, David Ahrendtsdavidahren...@me.com wrote: How would you use the K3S Sub Receiver? __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
