The dummy load needs to be connected to the XVTR OUT jack, not the main antenna connector. The tuner path has nothing to do with it. See K3 manual around page 53 or so. Ken K6MR On 05-Feb-18 20:59:03, "John Woodard" wrote: On Sun, Feb 4, 2018 at 17:45 John

Re: [Elecraft] KXSER CABLE INFO

Hi Noel, No, you don't have to tie those together unless the software you are using needs them for some sort of flow control handshaking, but that too, would be unusual because back in the days of modem RTS (Request to Send) and CTS (clear to send) were used by the modem to let the terminal

[Elecraft] Off topic: speaker boxes

I shop at Amazon on a very regular basis. That said, I would never have expected to find a huge assortment of speaker boxes listed. You can populate them with the speaker(s) of your choice. To me this is interesting, as I am getting ready to redesign my radio desk and am thinking of a couple

Re: [Elecraft] K1 and K2 RIP?

Hi, as Eric said the K2 is still in production. It is the best multiband KIT on the market with better K-parameters than several much more expensive commercials on the market, hi. BTW - did you realized how the price of used K1 rise-up on the market :) 73 - Petr, OK1RP -
