[Elecraft] CW issue

I have a 6 meter beacon, 50.63 MHz, about three miles from my house. I can hear what sounds like key clicks up to 60.250 MHz. Could this be front end overload? I have a K3s with a three element beam abut 20 feet. Ray W8LYJ Sent from my iPad

Re: [Elecraft] CW issue

Turn on the 15 db attenuator in the receiver or put a 20 dB attenuator in the line from your antenna to receiver. If the key clicks continue, it is a good bet they are being transmitted. If they go away, it is front end or mixer overload. On 1/29/2016 8:21 AM, Gmail wrote: I have a 6

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] Fwd: Yaesu 817ND vs Elecraft KX3 Differences for Portable Use

I sold my '817 the week after I returned from Dayton and saw the KX3 for the first time. 2nd step was to get a KX3 on order. Main complaint with the Yaesu was its Rx. I never dared to hook it to a big antenna. 2nd complaint was the horrendous ½A current drain in receive. Even if it WERE to become

[Elecraft] ERR BP3 and ERR IF2

Hello Elecrafters, I have just done the KBPF3 modification in the sub receiver KRX3. However, upon turn on the K3, I got the error messages ERR BP3 and ERR IF2. I tried to access the CONFIG menu. I can get KIO3 and KPA3 but not KNB3.  In other words, KIO3 is after by KPA3 in the CONFIG menu and

Re: [Elecraft] CW issue

Ray, It could be that the beacon is actually generating those keyclicks. Try turning off the preamp in the K3S and or turn your beam so the side is toward the beacon. Are the keyclicks eliminated? If so, it may be too strong a signal into the K3S, but if they continue, they are likely being

Re: [Elecraft] CW issue

Probably an Icom, they are bad for key clicks. Check his website or QRZ page and see if it says what he is using for the beacon. Ken WA8JXM On 1/29/16 11:33 AM, Gmail wrote: Thanks Don, Using yours and others suggestions I determined it was the transmitter. Ray W8LYJ

Re: [Elecraft] K3S - Is there a way to send CW via USB computer and hear the sidetones?

In experimenting with HRD / DM780 this morning, I find the KY command does work as well. I"m sending from the keyboard and the computer is connected by the USB cable to the radio. The side tone from the radio does appear correct. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 1/28/2016 8:58 PM, Bob McGraw K4TAX

Re: [Elecraft] K3S - Is there a way to send CW via USB computer and hear the sidetones?

I'll have to play with it. I have the K3S connected to the computer via USB. As far as I know I'm not able to connect to the DB9 to use RTS keying. I could be mistaken. I'm already in CW mode, Test, QSK ON, Monitor turned up. When using my Key connected directly to the Radio Key jack (to enable

Re: [Elecraft] ESSB and the 6 kHz Filter

Using the K3 Utility, in checking the Filter Config list, while I do have the 6.0 kHz filter installed, I must select the 2.7 kHz or 2.8 kHz for CW and SSB transmit. Then from the CONFIG menu ESSB I can select up to 4.0 kHz bandwidth. Receive BW on AM will go to 5.0 kHz and on SSB 4.0 kHz.

[Elecraft] ESSB and the 6 kHz Filter

Am I correct that you do not achieve 4.0 kHz ESSB (widest TX with the K3S) without selecting the 6.0 kHz crystal filter for SSB TX? Just want your affirmation. :—) David A. KK6DA, LA David Ahrendts davidahren...@me.com __

I used HRD/DM780 in "KY mode" on a CW traffic net tonight. Worked great...uh, as well as HRD/DM780 works that is. Monitor level on the radio was set to 20 while using the external speakers. Side tone set to 800 Hz. 73 Bob, K4TAX K3S s/n 10163 On 1/29/2016 11:45 AM, Bob McGraw K4TAX
