Re: [Elecraft] K3 - static discharge

If the KPOD is causing this due to static discharge, reverse ends on the direction of the cable connecting it to the K3S or K3. The wire to pin one of our supplied cable is supposed to be cut, but it is possible there is one end with a wire still making the connection. (If you are supplying

[Elecraft] [FS] Pelican Storm Case for K3 and P3

I have Pelecan iM2700 case that I picked up and re-purposed as a travel case for a K3 + P3 with closed cell foam. I went portable and this case is excess to my needs. Could be used as-is or re-worked into anything. Interior dimensions 22" x 17" x 8". It is tan in color. I expect the best way to

[Elecraft] Macro sequencing

We have seen some great macro ideas where a single function key is used to toggle between two different K3 states, e.g. in and out of split, toggling between two AGC THR settings, etc. Unfortunately, this idea cannot be used (directly) with a KPod button. Each of the the 16 KPod buttons are

Re: [Elecraft] K-POD and SO2V

Most certainly! K*Pod has a three-position rocker switch that assigns the knob to VFO A, VFO B, or RIT/XIT. If the second rx is enabled and the K*Pod rocker is in the VFO B position, the pod knob tunes the second rx, even if you're not presently listening to it. That's exactly how I operated SS

Re: [Elecraft] K3 FC issue with filters

Hi, Now we are cooking. I am glad you found the real problem. There is virtually 0 probability that reloading the same firmware will fix anything. There is no such thing as a "busted firmware load" except the kind that leaves the "CPU load" or similar message indicating that the bootloader

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - static discharge

Hmmm ... not uncommon for our relative humidity to be in single digits, and it's very often less than 20%. I never get shocked by static discharge. However, when we lived in Auburn CA with numbers in the 30 to 50% range, it happened all the time. There must be more to it than water vapor.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Transmit EQ Settings

A K3/P3 can be used to measure the KX3 SSB TX bandpass. The process is to speak random words for several seconds while monitoring with a P3 in "Peak" mode. After about 30 seconds the display will stabilize. The K3 filter width is 2.1 KHz 350 - 2450 Here are some measurements:

Re: [Elecraft] K3 FC issue with filters

I called the Elecraft to get some help with this. After removing the K3 out of line, removed computer control, amps, tuner etc. The problem was gone. I was running radio control with my logging software. I found a tab where that software was sending the odd FC offsets. Just like

This is a huge problem in Minnesota due to the extreme cold causing humidity on the windows and turning to ice. It is difficult to hit a happy medium between avoiding static and wet windows. As for protecting my equipment, I have mentioned keeping a grounded wrist strap around an Altoids can

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Transmit EQ Settings

As you may know, the 664 and 666 were EV's first "variable-D" mics -- the 666 was the pro version, the 664 for "PA." The 666 was known as the Buchannon Hammer because Lou Burroughs, co-founder of EV with Al Kahn, demonstrated their ruggedness by using one to drive a nail. (EV was in Buchannon,

[Elecraft] K-POD and SO2V

Can the K-POD be used to tune the 2nd receiver in SO2V mode, say in a contest? I own an older K3 with the 2nd receiver, but have only used it a couple times and it remains packed away awaiting the next outing, thus the perhaps silly question. Thanks in advance for the answer. Mike

Yes, but they typically DO use a three wire (case at ground) power cord. I make it a point to touch the metal side of the computer before anything else. A couple other recommendations would be to buy a cheap digital humidity indicator and put one or more humidifiers* around the house. I'm not

[Elecraft] K3 - static discharge

To prevent static discharge problems with my computers, I have a bare ground wire attached to the side of my desk. I touch it when I first sit down. In the winter, it does draw a spark. Most computers are not well designed or protected. That said, I had no idea the K3 was susceptible to ESD -
