[Elecraft] [K3] K3, Sub receiver, band indipendence and X-Verter

Hi all I've just updated firmware on my K3, band indipendence works great on HF. Using X-Verter ( connected trought its BNC ) on main receiver I can't route Main antenna to Sub receiver for HF listening, these same happens switching receivers, I listen HF on main but can't use X-Verter on Sub

[Elecraft] UK Elecraft net report for Sunday 29th March

Despite the SSB contest this weekend, there were several stations on the net. Conditions were helped by the change to British Summer Time, although with a little continental QRM at times. Subjects this week included: One station had a PLL problem with his K3 under high temperature operation,

[Elecraft] new K3 owner sn 497, need help with choosing microkeyer cable

Hello all Elecrafters, microHam sells two different cables for the K3 to use with the microKeyer/microKeyerII one that uses a front microphone jack and the other that uses the rear microphone jack. Aside from the obvious, one doesn't clutter the front panel with a cable all the time, is

[Elecraft] K3 wish: Instant AGC setup recall

I posted the following last May and received no serious reponses. Maybe now, considering all the recent postings about AGC settings, it might be an idea whose time has come: Different band and QRM conditions can require different combinations of AGC parameters (HLD, SLP, THR, and decay rate).

[Elecraft] K2: AGC Problem

With my new K2 i have a strange AGC behavior. I cannot detect a difference between AGC on and off. The voltage at pin 5 U2 is exactly 3.8v after changing the 8V regulator to a better one. All my earlier k2's had a large increase in AF when switching off AGC. I possibly made a short between pin

Re: [Elecraft] Transmitting low power through the PA

I have recently become interested in the WSPR beacon mode (http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT), which involves transmitting a continuous signal for periods of 2 minutes. At a level of 5W the underside of the K3 gets uncomfortably hot. Since this is the sort of thing you want to leave

[Elecraft] [K3] K3 3.04 Power Output After Tune

During the WPX SSB contest I have noticed the same low output that others have noticed after ATU TUNE. I just wanted to add one comment. After low output is remedied with TUNE, the firmware seems to remember that fact. That is, when I return to that vicinity after SP QSOs elsewhere (ATU

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] K3 3.04 Power Output After Tune

Llye, FWIW, I am experiencing the same issue running QRP with the KAT3, when it is in use, in 3.03 It does not seem to happen when the KAT3 is bypassed. Engaging the main TUNE button (not the KAT tune), seems to put it back to normal. Now if I can figure out why my two sounds like zero *sigh*

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Please try K3 main/sub receiver band independence and other new features

It's neat to watch the ATU blink a couple times as it sets itself across the band. Nice feature indeed! Thanks, Julius Hi all, The major features introduced in K3 beta revision 3.03 (DSP 2.10) have now had quite a bit of on-air time. Thanks to feedback from early adopters, we've just

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] K3 3.04 Power Output After Tune

There are two menu entrys that effect power in addition to the front panel PWR control. There may be interaction between these in certain combinations of settings or BAND and MODE. Wayne has limited internet access this weekend and has asked me to request information from those who are

Re: [Elecraft] K2: AGC Problem

Michael, Is this new K2 as sensitive (ability to receive weak signals) as the prior ones? If not, you have have a fault somewhere in the receiver section. Do strong signals activate the S-meter bargraph? Try adjusting the S-meter (CAL S-LO and CAL S-HI) as indicated in the manual, then if

[Elecraft] K3 firmware Problem

I am having the same problem as others have stated. I started with the installation of MCU 02.82 my KXV3 stopped working to listen to AM radio, yes the RX Antenna was used and the KXV3 was set to NORM. The power on Data fell a little but the power on SSB was near zero strange messages while

Re: [Elecraft] K3 RTTY MODE

For those interested in playing with microcontrollers, there is a very easy way to use an Atmel AVR to convert the AFSK from your favorite RTTY software to true FSK - and provide PTT as well. A few weeks ago, Kok Chen, W7AY, and I had a discussion about Atmel AVR microcontrollers. I told him

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report for March 29th 30th, 2009

Good Evening, Forty meters was loud tonight. Not yet summer but the noise level is rising. However, contacts were pretty good through the QSB and QRN. Noise was increasing by the end so I may not have been able to drag out the last few. I just do not know if there was someone there or if
