Graham,
Congratulations. Looks like a nice design. Are you using a TUH-1
mixer? Looks like the one that is used in DEMI transverters. Also
does not look difficult to put on 10.472 MHz using an external 10-MHz
reference osc. This would be ideal running the K3 in TEST mode.
I don't see
I use an old 15 inch 1024 x 768 LCD about six inches further than an
arms length
from my eyes which does a great job.

Same here - a 15 inch 1024 x 768 LCD, but also with the stand removed so
the screen sits directly on top of the K3. That places the K3 and

I would think you will find the VOX on/off and gain controls useful. There
are some of us that rely on them in remote operation.
I use an IP Power switch to control the AC. This gives you the ability to
power up/down the entire station from the remote location. To power up the
K3 I have a
Thanks for the positive comments ED!
As you may have seen, previously I specialize in microwave transverters.
This was a Fun project to break it up a bit!
I have really enjoyed getting back to the basics and at the moment is my
favorite project :)
There is always improvements to be made and
Sorry, I forgot to mention that the mixer is an ADE-1

Joe I had a 20' first then switched to a 24 like it a lot better. The
prices for a refurb with new warranty was just over $130. Make sure you get
one that supports your SVGA card a high Res one.

These days, it might be less expensive to find a small flat-panel TV
set that has VGA input. However, on of the big consumer electronic
sites sent me an email today hawking a 20 LED monitor for $99. That
seems like a modest price.

And I doubt it would be legal to use an amateur transceiver for
aircraft communications, even if the KX3 just happened to cover the
air band.
Some ham transceivers will permit listening to the air band, but none
permit transmitting on those frequencies. And for good reason.

Just a line to thank all of those of you that gave me guidance re the filter
set-up for my K3-100.
Amazing amount of replies, nice to feel a part of something worthwhile!!

Hello Igor,
If you want to measure (with useful accuracy) the level of the IMD products
generated by your KX3 and HLA 300 Plus, all that you would need in addition
to your TS590 is a Two Tone (AF) Generator, an AF Spectrum Analyser and your
computer. If you Google Tcube you will find a

There is a 2 Tone generator built into the KX3. See the menu listing
for details.

Don,
If the output of the 2 Tone generator which is built into the KX3 is
injected into the audio chain before any speech processing circuitry, yes
the internal 2 Tone generator could be used.

Hi,
A KX3 user and lurker who is also an FAA AP mechanic with inspection
authorization.
To use any radio transmitter in the aviation bands it must meet standards from

requirements are a lot different from amateur

remote control program is that all controls would be required at some
point. This includes the Configuration menus. Of the different

Hello Friends.
My question is related to the 2 meter side of my K3-100 model 0591. Problem is
'spatter' and I can not alter the bandwidth to help compensate. I am getting
reports of 'splatter' right across the 2 meter band and even had a complaint
from our local marine emergency channel?

Hi Guys!
You probably saw the previous E mail I sent out showing a bunch of VHF UHF
Antennas I was taking up to M2 to sell at the open house and BBQ. As it turned
out that didn't work out for a whole variety of reasons so I am going to try it
again at the TRW Swap Meet.
As I reported before
I'm trying to resolve a conflict: is the KRX3 sub receiver a must have, or
a must have with good reasons option?
I understand it's uses. In my case, I am mostly considering it as an added
resource for working dx split pileups. I have the P3, and have found it
very useful in many ways, and
Bill,
You've already pretty much answered your own question. Hearing that faint
599 is a BIG help in finding the place you need to be in a pile-up.
Especially on 20, 17, 15, 12 and 10 meters where a lot of the time you are in
the skip zone where you don't see the pip from the station the DX

So first thing I will say in this post is I got some feedback that my posts
were coming across, as I might not have been having fun with this build. I
am going to leave the overall impressions for my final summary posts but one
thing I wanted to point out
Bill,
You are not missing anything. The KRX3 will allow you to listen to the
DX in one ear and the pileup in the other ear. If you would find that
confusing to your brain, then the KRX3 will be useless for you. but if
your brain can sort out the left ear, right ear situation, then it is a
I think I've figured out why my subrx seems to be much less sensitive than
the main. I was playing around with the bandwidth control today while
having the VFOs linked.
I have the same filter setup in main and sub, a 2.8K and a 250hz, both 8
pole. I have both main and sub set to cut to the 250 at
Just used the K3 utility to disable the 250 8p on the sub and the audio now
is balanced regardless of sub bandwidth. Of course the noise level changes
but no imbalance with strong or weak sigs between the two.
Now to figure out if it's the socket or the filter at fault.

Are other folks having trouble getting the Elecraft Utilities to connect to the
Elecraft server to check for firmware updates? I get the following error

Make sure the filter gain compensation is set properly for the 250 Hz filter. The easiest
way to do it is from the filter configuration screen of the K3 utility.
