Since there is nothing band or frequency dependent directly associated
with the generation of SSB and the audio in a K2, my first suspect is
that you have an RF Feedback situation on 160 meters.
Does it do the same thing when connected to a dummy load? If it is
still the same, the

I run my K3 on and off with TRX Manager. This is great software and works very
well.

the PC.

Then I noticed that the frontpanel of the K3 did

According to pg 13 of the K3 manual:
MIC An Elecraft MH2, MD2, Proset-K2, or other
compatible mic can be used (see pinout below). To
select the front- or rear-panel mic, and to turn bias
on/off, use the MAIN:MIC SEL menu entry.
Bias must be turned on for electret mics (e.g. MH2,
MD2, Proset). It
Using the K3 isn't exactly in the same league as flying a space
shuttle. This is (or at least used to be) a technical hobby. If the K3
is too complicated for someone to use, he probably needs to find a
new, less complicated hobby. Perhaps basket weaving.

Thank you Gary and Bob. I now understand using the menu for the K3 to turn

Hi Ron,
For $19.75 + $5.50 SH you can add a really clever Internal Mic Adaptor
(IMA) to your K2 which will make it a snap to change your K2 to support just

This weekend I used my K-3 on RTTY for the first time. Using the K-3's

I quickly noticed that I was off frequency by differing amounts on each
band and seldom would anyone come back to me when I called them. So I called

This is just a guess, but the most likely scenario I can think of is that
the Software is getting a connection to a com port that is not the K3.
Maybe you could try disabling any other com ports through device manager
and then try to start the K3 utility. If it is connecting to another com
port,
The MMTTY TX tones and RX filters must be offset. Make sure AFC,
NET, and ATC are turned off in MMTTY. Make sure the K3 PITCH
matches the MMTTY Mark frequency.

Dick,
When using AFSK A, you must set the mark frequency in MMTTY and that in
the K3 to the same value.
I believe the K3 keeps that information on a per band basis, so make
certain you set it on all bands. The per band basis is why you saw
different offsets on various bands.

Don W3FPR
Dick,
I believe that both the cause and the solution to your problems lies in
MMTTY, not in the K3.
Did you have NET on in MMTTY? I suspect that if you turn NET on, that
will solve your problem. NET forces MMTTY to use the same frequency on
transmit as on receive. If you don't have NET on,

There is another way. Purchase a lead designed to extract video and audio from
a 5Gen iPod. It has a 4 pole 3.5mm jack at one end and 3 phono sockets on the
other. Connect the video (Yellow) phono to the line out via a blocking
capacitor and a resistor divider. Alternatively connect a small

Power supply removed for few minutes and than holding power switch in for 10

No change unfortunately

The K3 Utility will find a K3 at any of the K3's speeds, if the

I recently purchased a 35 amp Astron power supply at a hamfest (in great

If the Astron is working AS INTENDED, when the OVP SCR fires, the UA723 VReg
