Josh — Thanks for looking further into it. I looked pretty carefully before the RCS-4 went into the trash - no electrolytics in the relay box that I could see. Maybe a manufacturing defect rather than a design defect? But it’s in a landfill somewhere now so I can’t confirm that. In my

Mike, A normal "12V" battery in a vehicle is almost never at 12V. About 14.4 when the engine is running, and about 13.8 after when not under charge. A battery measuring "12V" is suspect. Read the specified input voltage AT THE POWER INPUT connector ... I'll wager it's lower than what's called

Re: [Elecraft] K3S receive antenna

Leroy, The answer is "yes", but how to do it depends on your K3S physical configuration. If you only have the main receiver (no subRX), you can transmit on ANT1 or ANT2, and connect a receive only antenna to the ANT IN BNC connector in the rear (set of 5 BNC jacks). Select RX ANT. If you

The main receiver can listen on the transmit antenna selected by the ATU or the separate receiver antenna input. The sub-receiver can listen on the same antenna as the main receiver or the other antenna on the ATU or the separate AUX antenna input (requires a connection change in the K3S).

The RX EQ doesn't seem to do much for me on CW because I am already limiting the response by the DSP bandwidth. Normally I use 300-450 Hz for tuning around, and then narrow the bandwidth as needed for weak signals or QRM. My passband is centered at 520, so I don't hear the very low and high
