Hi Wayne,
my first doubt is that many OMs that I've asked this question have answered
that the KX3 is less selective with big signals near the operating frequency
respect to the K3.
Is a fact or between this two great radio the difference is only on the
case?

Hello list members
I just finished putting together a KPA 500 which seems to be having problems.
When I turn on and try to run the voltage test, the “HV” button does not
respond …. the led’s bar graph indicate 100 W and I can’t turn it off from the
front panel switch, I have to use the one

I've had that happen several times at two different locations. And
once, the package ended up in the bushes. Most of the time the sender
took care of it, but I had one item they wouldn't but replaced it at
half cost (Though not a lot of money ($15), I wasn't happy about it).
So,
I also just finished my new KPA500 build. Not 15 minutes ago.
I didn't realize that the Fuse block is empty. Good thing i decided to actually
double-check it before applying mains power.
I figured they'd put the fuses in based on the power cable i ordered (US
version, 115 V).
Also, that whole
Hi to the group.
I remember turning off ANT 2 on the KX3-KPA100 combination last winter. Now I
am out camping and want to turn it back on but can't remember where I got the
information to turn it on and off.
Thanks in advance for help.

Is there a way to control a remote K3 station with KX3 just like you can do
with K3 or K3/0 as a control unit? Has anyone tried?

Help:
I'd start by checking ALL wire connections. Be sure you have fuse block
connected properly for your input voltage and proper fuses are installed.
Call Elecraft first thing tomorrow for assistance.
Good luck!
Mine showed no high voltage at first. Found a shorted by-pass cap (tiny SMD
type)
Hi
I am having issues in getting RumLog Version 5.3.7 logging program working
with my KX3. How do I set up RumLog to work? What do I need to set in
preferences?
I am able to get KX3 Utility to work fine so there is no issue there I do
not think.

Where do you get stuck?
Did you select K2/K3 in the TRX 1 section of RUMlog preferences? Does
your USB adaptor show in that page?
If so, did you go to the Transceiver drop down and select Relinit TRX1 ?
Then what happens? BTW, you aren't trying to connect to

Due to circumstances I must sell my K3 serial 2229. It's pretty much a
loaded K3 and has been my pride and joy.
Includes the following:
K3/10 basic K3
KPA3-F factory installed 100w PA
KAT3-F factory installed internal antenna tuner
KRX3-F factory installed sub receiver
KXV3A I/O interface
Was good to meet the Elecraft people at Sea-Pac... It was interesting
how the crowd was at Elecraft's display, and not at the other major
radio maker literately right next door to them.
In fact, I watched one of the other radio makers sales people, staring
at the Elecraft table in amazement at

Do *NOT* plug the KUSB directly into the K2 AUX I/O connector. You must
use the intervening 'special cable' that is detailed in the KIO2
instructions. That cable can be short or long, but it must be installed
to protect the K2 from damage.

Thanks Don. I wasn't quite sure if the KUSB supplied was just a stock USB-RS232
converter, or whether it may have been customised by Elecraft to leave the
extra pins open circuit, so when I tested the interface I did use the special
intervening cable.
Next step will be to set up the K2 with

I wore my hat at every one of my son-in-law's singles and doubles matches
in the NC Men's Am Tennis tournament for 5 straight days/nights this week.
I was really proud when people asked me what my hat meant. If you have
one of these, you have a special hat no matter how you got it.

Slava,
You should train your tuner. Do it on each band segment for each
antenna that you will use.
Once that is accomplished, put the KAT500 into Manual and it will not
try to re-tune based on the RF.
The problem is particularly susceptible to false re-tuning for SSB. Due
to the changing
In my case, it's what's under the hat that needs new firmware.

Pardon my ignorance, but can I get some clarification on a few things?
1) Is phase noise the measurement of the instability of an DDS? If so, does
this mean a cheap part is being used? Does a GPSDO or a OCXO reduce phase
noise?
2) How does this impact TX only, and why does it create such

Yes. To oversimplify a bit, if the frequency/phase of the oscillator is
varying back and forth at a 20 kHz
