[Elecraft] K3 RTTY Data FSK D Mode

I was transmitting RTTY last night using the K3 Utility and was getting reports that my audio level was too high. Another amateur was relaying the info to me as he was also trying to copy me! Is there a way to adjust the audio level when using the K3 Utility and FSK D Mode on the K3? What

There is no transmit audio level to adjust in direct FSK mode. The tone pair makes no difference, it is only a matter of your personal preference of the tones you prefer to hear while monitoring your transmission, or listening to the other station's signals. I suspect the problem is that you

I would like to try replacing the T2 toroid with one wound on this core. It apparently improves coupling and gives a bit higher output on higher frequency bands than with the provided toroid. Do I really need 2 more watts on 10 meters? No, but I do like to tinker. Thanks Chip AE5KA

Hi Karlfried There is another approach. Use the internal K3 digital voice recorder. You can set macros on the N1MM F keys to play the DVR messages. That way the recorded messages will sound exactly the same as the live voice as the same microphone/settings were used for the recording. Other

[Elecraft] Antenna Launcher

Hi Don -- If you want to build an antenna launcher like the antenna bazooka or spud gun, check the Joplin ARC website at: http://www.joplin-arc.org/pages/antennalauncher.html They sell a kit for $35 or $40 to build one using heavy PVC tubing pieces. Looks to be pretty neat and not too costly.

I do this and it works absolutely great. Put the N1MM macros in the SSB F-key slots. They look like {CAT1ASC K31;SWTxx;} which tells N1MM to send SWTxx to K3 radio 1. xx is the front panel switch number for the Mx keys: M1: 21 M2: 31 M3: 35 M4: 39 All this does is emulate you tapping the M

Thanks for clarifying this. I just got the amp today! Off to start building! Then again, just when I thought I needed an amp to bust those pileups, 10m was hopping with Japan stations all over the place on 10 meters. No amp needed! I'll save it for the ZL's. -- View this message in context:

Ok, I have more answers. If the sub is sharing an antenna, you do not have to worry about antenna isolation, only if you are using a separate antenna for the sub. Furthermore, the RF on the receive antenna should not be higher than 2 Watts of power. Now this opens a question; Why didn't the K3

Jim is correct. I also use only Amphenol PL-259 type connectors, and buy them in 100 or 200 lots. I use the astro-plate version, which take solder easily, and is a bit less expensive than the full silver plate version. (The center pin is still silver plated). I think the part number

Mike, Your band decoder is apparently loading down the K3 band data lines to the point where they cannot be unambiguously decoded by the KPA500. Yes, less than 3 volts on the band data lines is in the noise region for digital logic. You may have to add isolation diodes and pullup resistors
