I have a KX3, the KX3-PCKT Cable set and a computer that does not have separate mic & headphone jacks, but a single combination jack for both mic & phones. Any hints as to how to connect the mic & phone cables from the KX3 to the computer? Thanks Dave KB8XG dhdeitr...@mac.com

Re: [Elecraft] K3 loss of rx signal

Frank, I have had intermittent problems with BNC and N connectors. It was a really subtle thing. The connectors were for 75 Ohm connection vice 50 Ohms. That meant the center pin was thinner which caused intermittent connections. After that, I've always checked to see that I didn't make

Re: [Elecraft] K3 loss of rx signal

I would echo Frank's comments. I learned long ago that you never measure antenna gain with any BNC connectors in the signal path. Each joint would introduce intermittent loss depending on how much the cable moved. They are not very stable at VHF frequencies. They sure are convenient though

Re: [Elecraft] K3 loss of rx signal

Hi Ron, If you've ever used BNC connectors in a lab environment -- especially above about 30 MHz -- you soon become aware of their shortcomings especially if they don't fit snugly. I've never noticed BNC problems at HF frequencies except for worn (or cheaply made) connectors that fit very

Re: [Elecraft] K3 loss of rx signal

Good point Frank. Amphenol specs leakage for their BNC connectors at 3GHz where they claim 55 dB. By comparison they claim 90 dB at 3 GHz for their type N connectors. I've never felt the need for the additional shielding in the shack. Of course these are Amphenol specs. Any other brand may

Cameron, There is nothing in that circuit that would have zapped L34. I would just replace the inductor. If you do not have good de-soldering equipment, L34 may be difficult to remove. I suggest destroying the present inductor if you have to, and take it out one pin at a time (get the

K2 #1239 is green at night when the internal light is on, more gray than green in daylight. But it definitely is not amber. I suspect that is a function of the LED's that are lighting the screen, which appears to be lit from the side, not the back. 73, Guy K2AV On Tue, Apr 4, 2017 at 2:34 PM,

[Elecraft] Can Anyone recommended a great QRP

A resonant vertical is a good portable antenna if you have a decent ground system. It is certainly much better than the popular 43 foot vertical. However it will not typically perform the way yours did on the beach where the pseudo-brewster angle radiation is filled out. John KK9A From: VE3BWP
