[Elecraft] Another Elecraft Tale

A couple of weeks ago I went on a kayaking trip to the northeast corner of Vancouver Island.  With my luggage already overweight,  I debated whether to bring my KX1 or KX3.  I knew I would have only one night camping on a remote island in which to operate, and the KX1 made more sense.  I brought

Re: [Elecraft] K2 audio images strong signals 40 meters

Paul, Thanks for those details. I cannot attribute those offsets to anything related to the BFO, but on 40 meters near 7185 kHz, the PLL and VCO frequencies are quite close together, and interaction between the two can cause some "strange happenings". I believe you may be hearing some subse

Re: [Elecraft] K2 audio images strong signals 40 meters

Paul, Just another thought on you issue. Do you have the internal frequency counter probe inside your K2? If so, remove it. It should not be plugged in with the KPA100 installed in any case because there is a possibility of spurious responses. I have never heard of it causing a problem on re

Have had a Traffie Hex-Beam up since 2002 (Halloween day) on a Wilson 40 foot tubular tower = works well with the K2 and with the KX3 it even works on 6-meters I will have to try it as a "receiving antenna" on the lower bands THANKS for the discussion, Jan K1ND __

Go to Elecraft site and download the A-to-B update instructions. As I recall this issue is discussed early in that collection. I tested my K2 (#380) earlier this year and it was OK in that regard. Look in this document http://www.elecraft.com/manual/k2a2binstr.pdf Phil W7OX On 8/6/14, 12:

Re: [Elecraft] K3: Strong Signals in passband

David, Try reducing the Line Out level on the K3 to see if that makes a difference. At one time there was a recommendation that the Line Out level should not exceed 10 to minimize distortion. You may have to increase the LINE IN setting on your computer to compensate. 73, Don W3FPR On 8/6/2

[Elecraft] PSK31 text lower or upper case?

Is the KX3's PSK D support for sent/received PSK31 text upper or lower case? I ask because the VFO B display on the KX3 shows only upper case letters being received. Also, when I send lowercase through Hamlog and the Piglet from Pignology, the KX3 shows only upper case letters. PSK31 best practi

Hello, I have a few friends who live close by. When they operate, digital, and while the K3 is in DIGITAL A mode, I see what looks like random white noise across the audio passband of the K3 audio waterfall, (not on the P3 at all), when viewing with any digital program. I have been attempting to

[Elecraft] K2 audio images strong signals 40 meters

Hi folks K2 here has what appears to be an odd issue with strongs sigs around 7175Khz Tuning approx 5 Khz higher the same signal can be heard several s-points down. Best guess seems to be centred around the 7175 - 7180 range. I have a distant memory reading about this many years ago at build,
