Just a comment on 20m prop from Alaska at 1800utc on Sunday. Haven't been checking a lot lately as net time propagation on 20m is not too good during the dark months. Sunrise currently is an hour after the start of the net which is 9:00am local. I only get 5.5 hours of daylight during the

Sorry, I fat fingered the first reply.  I'm using Winmor on my K3 - I don't have a KX3, however I think I encountered your problem. Winmor must switch from TX to RX quickly so you cannot use VOX as you can for other digital modes. Instead use CONFIG:PTT/KEY set to rts/off and set up Winmor

Re: [Elecraft] Controlled Envelope SSB

Yes Gary, I saw that QEX article and the new one in QEX this month that discusses the possibility of external CESSB processing for existing SSB rigs, and how different types of SSB modulators preserve the CESSB signal or not. He explains there may be benefits to using ECSSB externally even with

[Elecraft] [PX3] - symmetrical reflections about the center point

Not sure if it was the loading of the new KX3 firmware, or if I changed some settings, but now on my PX3 panadapter, I see everything symmetrically mirrored around the center. So for example, If there is a signal at Center frequency -50kHz, it appears at +50kHz too. As I move the VFO, the

Re: [Elecraft] Controlled Envelope SSB

Thanks for the link, my ARRL magazines take more time to get to me now that I am out in the boon-docks. The new QEX article is a good read, and with flex incorporating CESSB we can hope that maybe Elecraft can incorporated it into at least the KX3. Gary Mitchelson NC3Z/4 Pamlico County, NC

I use KRC2s, SixPak and FL-1/W3NQN BP filters at home. In Aruba, we have the BandMaster III, SixPak and FilterMax BP filters. Both systems work great. I like them equally well. The cabling is simpler between the BandMaster and FilterMax, which is convenient. Ed W0YK

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Seems to have Failed on TX

Ian, Simplify everything and do a test. Eliminate the antenna system by connecting to a dummy load. An in-line wattmeter between the K3 and the dummy load may prove to be informative. Make sure the jumper cables used are good. As an extra step, remove all cables from the K3 except for a

Mike, I don't know why but I kept using ECSSB when I meant CESSB obviously, sorry for any confusion! Although the Elecraft power levelling is excellent, and I have not ever had bad reports of audio quality or splatter with my KX3 with the processor on or off, it certainly would be nice to be

[Elecraft] KX3 and Winmor

I am trying to use Winmor for Winlink2000 on my KX-3 and having difficulty. I am unable to connect to stations although it transmits and receives but gives the error "Timeout in T>R latency measure" I set the interface to the 38400 bps and am using Windows 10. Anyone know a fix for this?

Re: [Elecraft] Controlled Envelope SSB

Hi David I doubt you ever will. If I remember correctly, what the CESSB does is correctly clamp the gain while ensuring you continue to get full power. The micro second you go over 100%, the radio starts to clamp RF out and in fact reduces it considerably. You would only be able to tell by

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 - calibration SWR 99.9-1 is too high for calibration

John, Try to run the TX Gain Calibration manually. See the KX3 manual page 33. That will tell you whether it fails on only some bands, but not others. The Utility program quits after the 1st error. If the manual calibration succeeds, then you might want to try the Utility process again, but

Re: [Elecraft] KCR2 versus Bandmaster III

Re: [Elecraft] No audio

John, The E27 message is expected when the filter board is not installed, but the E42 message is not. E42 indicates that there is a problem with the VFO. That is not normal, and can be the cause of 'no audio' or weak reception. Investigate the E42 error first (plug the filter board in to
