When you interrupt the amplifier key line, the amplifier doesn't visibly switch from operate to standby. The amp doesn't provide gain unless the amplifier is in Operate AND the key line is pulled low. 73 de Dick, K6KR -Original Message- From: Elecraft

Hi Cary, Be careful. Until you get this figured out you can damage your antenna by pumping high power into it during tuning. I suggest that you switch to a dummy load while you are experimenting. You said you have the phono cable running from the relay to the PTT In connector on the K3. *This is

Oh well, all good things eventually end. Kit building in the conventional sense is probably a declining interest anyway. Having built both thru-hole and SMT radios (ATS-3B), probably enjoy building about as much as operating. Am thankful to have built a K1-4 (40/30/20/15) several years ago,

I am aware of the rubber band trick, but I find no difficulty at all in plugging the KAT1 even with loose standoffs. First place the standoffs so they are close to the holes in the board. Next (and most important) put the long screws through the KAT1 board - hold them down with your fingers or

Richard, To my mind, keying is for CW, and a microphone is for voice modes. So what do you want? A microphone to produce CW with the KX3 (paddles are easier to implement), or a microphone with PTT? If you want a microphone, look into the MH3, it is designed for the purpose. Certainly other
