[Elecraft] K3 RX issue with KAT3A?

Gents, in spring I made an upgrade to my K3 (#59xx) with the internal ATU KAT3A. After this I guessed that there is a noise drop on all bands from 160 up to 10, but was not 100% sure. The strange thing: neighbor stations with similar setup always gave much better reports than me, at least 10

Re: [Elecraft] Yet another D104 mic wiring question.

There's several ways the wiring in the mike base can be done. There's two switches associated with the grip-to-talk bar on the T-UG8 base. I suggest, if not on the inside of mike base, you GOOGLE Astatic D-104 and get a schematic. You will need to use the amp in the base in as much as the

Jim, Thanks for your email. I do have the cables as shown on Figure 9.17, page 189 of the “Elecraft KX3 - Portable", with one exception: the Keyline interrupter is physically connect to the K3 Acc port, and the KPAK3AUX cable is connected to it and goes to the KAT500. The genders of

Hoop - I do not have a separate ground for my KX3, so I doubt that’s going to resolve it. I can’t easily check the cables on the back of my K3 as it is on a multi-tier desk shelf and would be ugly getting to it. The one thing that I have different in my cable scheme is that the line coming

[Elecraft] KX-1 Sidetone Needs Help.

I've noticed that, in my and other KX-1s, the sidetone sounds distorted. I am looking for methods of cleaning up the sidetone so that it will be easier for me to get on the same frequency as the other station by matching my sidetone (600Hz) to that of the incoming signal. Looking at the KX-1

Re: [Elecraft] K3 RX issue with KAT3A?

Use the K3 utility to save the config from the "Good" K3, then use the same utility to save the config from the "suspect" K3. Finally use the K3 Utility to restore the config from the "good" K3 into the "suspect" K3 and retest. If that doesn't fix the issue then I'd start double checking the

Re: [Elecraft] K3 RX issue with KAT3A?

Adding the KAT3A gives you the possibility to be listening to a coax jack with no antenna connected. To get started... Make sure that CONFIG: KAT3 is *not* set to "not inst". Be certain of that by hitting the "ANT" and "RXANT" buttons that you are on the coax connector you intend. After that

IMX, such pursuits of precision become a hobby in themselves. I'm old enough to remember that when I first built a VFO (ca 1953), if I wasn't responding to a CQ I was always careful to be sure there was at least one QSO between the frequency I was planning to use and the band edge. That way I
