Thank to everyone who responded to my cry for help after I damaged my computer PS. I replaced the MOVs and the fuse and it works! I do not recommend running 120v equipment on 240v in general! On 9/9/2014 12:38 PM, george fritkin via Elecraft wrote: There is nothing mechanical about a ZNR. The

George: Not to put too fine a point on it but ZNRs are large and slow moving so they do have mechanical aspects but more to the point they do NOT have capacitance, save lead capacitance (a few pf), Not true: MOVs have a self-capacitance on the order of 1000pF, which is sometimes an advantage.

[Elecraft] KX3 - Key Clicks with CW in SSB

2014-09-10 Thread Jim Stahl via Elecraft
With V2.19, it's good to finally get the CW delay issue when using CW in SSB resolved. However, I have noticeable key clicks when using CW in SSB with an external keyer. I hear them both in the KX3 monitor, and listening on a separate receiver. No problem when using the internal keyer,

[Elecraft] [KX3] VFO B Slow Tuning

2014-09-10 Thread Joel Black
I cannot remember where I read it and I've since deleted the email, but someone asked if VFO B on the KX3 could be tuned faster. First, I have not found a way to tune it faster other than by making sure VFO tunes in 10 Hz steps. Second, using Fred Cady's KX3 book and the K3/KX3 programming

Joel, Set VFO CRS in the menu to whatever step size you want for each mode - it is a per mode setting. I have mine set to 0.5 for SSB and 0.1 for CW. Make sure RIT and XIT are turned off and the OFS LED is on. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/10/2014 6:43 PM, Joel Black wrote: I cannot remember where I
