主題︰ [Elecraft] what microphones work best with K3?
We plan to buy a K3.
There isn't a best. Because of the K3's ability to tailor both xmit and recv
audio,the K3 can be successfully paired with almost any mic/cans. Many K3
owners,
myself included use a Yamaha CM500.

Certainly - you turn on bias in the menu and there is no need for the

I use the heil proset with the hc4 element and it works great. Because of all
the recommendations for the CM500 I just purchased one off amazon for $35. I
wanted to see what I was missing.

how is arranged the CW keying by a computer?

Hi,
I'm trying to setup my K3 for RTTY, I have MMTTY not sure if is the
best option with SignaLink USB,
no serial only USB and a laptop with Windows 7 or a Mac OS X.
I think I had been able to receive and to PTT but no output.
Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciate, thanks.

Juan,
Did you connect the SL USB output to the K3 Line In?
Is the K3 MIC SEL set for LINE IN?
Check your SignalLink for the sound output level, most are set to
microphone level, but the K3 line in needs line level which is a much
higher level signal. Find the jumper for the SL and change it.
I would think that whatever external keying device you are using would have
to connect via the KEY jack. This would be a contact closure (or the
equivalent) to ground, with the KEY jack in straight key mode, via the KX3
menu.73,

There are no plans (that I know of) for a Bluetooth interface for the KX3.
Some prospective users have asked about such, but Elecraft has no plans to
offer one. You could add a 3rd party Bluetooth interface for mic/speaker if
you wish. That would be up to you, however.
As for keyboard, there

Your posts about the horizontal delta loop prompted me to ask this question. I
know someone who has a 2WL horizontal loop erected about 45 feet high on the

Hi Bud,
I suspect that VFO-B is in a different mode. (You can view VFO-B information
mode by pressing BSET). To quickly solve this problem I just pressed the A-B
(#3) button twice. The first push sends transfers VFO-A frequency to VFO-B
and the second push transfers other information such as mode

Most PSK31 waterfall software allows you to set the transmit frequency
different from the receive frequency on the waterfall display.
Yes, the K3 does not allow split in Data A submode - use your software
application.

I've always been a fan of the horizontal loop. The Delta config works well.
Constructive and destructive effects on the radiation of the antenna occur
depending on the frequency, size of the loop and height above ground.

Are there any plans for the KX3 to have a 440 MHz board at some time in the
future? Maybe in place of (or in addition to) the 2M board? I'm thinking
of a rig for the car and I'd really like to have an all-in-one rig if
possible.
