Can we be done with the IC-7300 stuff? After all, this is the Elecraft
mail list and I do not think it has anyplace here. Just my opinion. I
am sure, somewhere there is a IC-7300 list that will fit your needs.

If Elecraft starts offering high quality/weighted knobs I hope they continue
to offer the standard knobs as well. Maybe make that an option.. standard
knobs included or pay an extra $500 for the heavier ones. For me, I'll stick
with standard.

No doubt that DSP IF radios with narrow upstream xtal filters should be
everyone's first choice today for a do-everything high performance hf radio.
The K3S is unbeatable. That being said, my forays into the world of direct
sampling DDC/DUC radios suggest that their receivers may have an edge in

There will always be those that try concepts in places they have never been
used. But touchscreens have been around for a long time and a lot is known
about them. The all time great defining application for them is in

Tuck,
Do you know for sure your dummy load is a good 50 ohm load at 6 meters?
It is always good to check that with an antenna analyzer.
Try repeating the TX Gain Calibration on 52 MHz manually from the menu.
If it completes both 4 and 6 watts without complaint, you are 'good to go'.

Good Evening,
I have a Heil HM-12 and what like to connect the microphone to the K3
Microphone connection in the rear of the radio. It would be a XLR 4 to a 1/8"
mini plug. I don't know if Heil even makes such a cable. From what I hear most
headsets that heil manufactures has a 1/8" mini plug
Hi GangI love using a Heil headset with the KX3 but wanted to try something
with a little more build quality.I have my old Bose X Aviation headset from my
flying days and set them up for the General Aviation plugs. They are really
comfortable well made and have active noise canceling built in.
Gentlemen, thanks for your thoughts on High Power. We’ll now close this OT

I have to look through the K3's (SN 0052) top cover vent to see if the fans
are running. At first thought there was a problem.
I -can- hear the KPA500 fan (s) but only if I listen closely.
I'm reasonably confident of my hearing, BTW.

Also check your cable to the dummy load. I had exactly the same
symptoms and it was due to a poor ground on the coax.

The KX3 is usually set up by default to run at 9600 baud. There is a menu
option in the radio (RS232) to set it at 38400 which is what I usually tell
