Re: [Elecraft] KX3 and 630m

KX3 receive sensitivity is intentionally reduced below the 160 meter band to avoid intermod from the PIN diodes. For the LW bands, you need a transverter. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Nov 3, 2017, at 6:21 PM, Joseph Reed

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 and 630m

Not likely John, I live at 68th and Bluemound and even WTMJ is sketchy on my KX3. The only way would be with a downconverter. Joe N9JR > On Nov 3, 2017, at 11:35 AM, John Seboldt K0JD wrote: > > My initial listening around 472 kHz with the KX3 shows only broadcast

[Elecraft] KX3 and 630m

The KX3 (and the KX2) can transmit on 630m with the aid of an inexpensive transverter kit that converts a half-watt 80m input to a 22-watt 630m output. Receiving is another story. https://ae5x.blogspot.com/2017/10/first-transmissions-on-630-meters-at.html John AE5X

[Elecraft] old K2 and K3 and P3 case

Hello list and every body els. I had a fire in my house it started in my shack, i told earlier, all my equipment is gone, i managed to get the prints of the K2 K3 and P3 pretty clean. I need 3 new cases i know i can order them and contact are running and very very promising, but the best

[Elecraft] KX3 and 630m

My initial listening around 472 kHz with the KX3 shows only broadcast station images from higher up. I do have the tuner option, which I know the manual says enhances reception in the broadcast band. I'm trying various baluns and will build a tuner that goes down that low if necessary. Also,

Re: [Elecraft] K2 and KX3 with A/B switch

Hello Don, thanks for your attention. I measured the power output meny times with two different meters, one with PEP function and one without. In both cases i can see the differences between the K2 and the other radios. On the same meter where i read 60-70 watts with the K2, i can read 90-100

Re: [Elecraft] K2 keying mod

Mike, Thank you for your compliments. No, I cannot draw the schematic from memory, but I am quite familiar with the schematics and manuals for the K2, K1, KX1 and XV series transverters.  I keep printed copies of the schematics handy at my office computer and the workbench that I have to

Re: [Elecraft] K2 keying mod

Hey Don, Is it true that you can draw the entire K2 schematic from memory? I learn something every time I read one of your posts. Thanks a zillion for all the help you give out on here. We all owe you a beer or three. -- 73, Mike Cizek WØVTT -Original Message- From:

Re: [Elecraft] K2 keying mod

Mike, Order the SMT1B - PIN diode on carrier board p/n E120014 from Elecraft and mount it as shown on page 60 of the latest K2 manual. Note that you also will need to have MCU firmware at 2.04. If yours is lower than that, also order FWK2MCIO. The current firmware is 2.04r, and if you are

[Elecraft] K2 keying mod

I'd like to update my K2 (SN 336) with the keying mod to reduce CW bandwidth. The doc from Elecraft specifies a PIN diode that is obsolete and no longer available (5082-3081). I'm not sure what specifications are important to spec a replacement part. Any suggestions for a suitable replacement, or

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 with P3 Transmit Monitor

Whether the TXMON add-on to the P3 "should be [useable] with the KPA1500" is certainly an opinion you may choose to adopt. Whether Elecraft wants to implement your desire for lifetime forward compatibility of all existing products with all future products is a decision for the company, not us.
