Re: [Elecraft] Bat Err in KX3

Ted, The battery voltage was too low to start charging without possible damage. Yes, NiMH batteries will self-discharge to the point of not being able to recover them. Keep them charged, or you can loose them. The KX3 internal charger requires a certain minimum voltage before it can start

[Elecraft] Bat Err in KX3

My KX3 has been sitting idle for many months. Turned it on today and tried to charge the battery, which I am guessing is depleted to zero, but I keep getting "Bat Err." Yes, there is a rechargeable battery installed - it has worked just fine for years. And yes, I did RTFM, about accessing

Re: [Elecraft] Who's On First?

I guess I'm not being clear. I don't think the Mac moves the DTR/RTS lines when it boots. I haven't ever seen the K3 go into transmit mode when I reboot. Of course that might be because I have PTT_KEY set to OFF-OFF and use VOX for sound card modes except wsjt-x and RUMlogNG contest mode.

I'm using my KX2 connect to HP Win7pro, with external usb sound card, and a Chameleon F-Loop antenna. I connect the KX2 cable to the laptop with a good com port test. Connected the two audio cables to external sound card and radio. I still unable to get pass the hamlib error in the software.

Re: [Elecraft] Weird KIO3UPKT problem

as soon as the KIO3UPKT is plugged in I get the hum. The KIO3UPKT seems to function just fine in all other ways except for inducing this noise. Any ideas??? *BOND* the chassis of the K3/K3S, your computer, your power supply, and your HiFi system together with a 1/2" braid, #12 or larger wire.

Re: [Elecraft] K3Audio

Legal depends on the country of operation, not all restrict to CW only in the band segments. If the mike audio is switched with PTT (not always 'hot') so no mixing, it would work (and is preferred for SSTV mode instead of button of mode switching between frames). So depending on his

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Audio

Sure. But you really need more information about the questioner's intended usage before bashing the idea of MIC+LIN. My K3 is always set up for Mic+Lin. Sometimes I use the output from a 528e with another mic. Sometimes I use my CM500 connected to mic in. Either the 528e is OFF when the

Re: [Elecraft] K3Audio

I certainly agree with Joe on this point.   I hear many voice / background noise signals in the "CW" portions of the bands. Furthermore, fact is, it isn't legal to transmit such.  suppose if one wishes to run Slow Scan TV with audio in the SSB portion of the band it might be justified.

Re: [Elecraft] Re K3 Audio

I suspect that what you most likely need is for Line In to be used during digital mode operation (with the microphone muted), and the microphone to be used during voice mode operation. The audio input settings for voice modes and digital modes are stored independently, so this is easy. With the

Hi Ian First, make sure that CONFIG: TECH MD is set to On. You won't ever need to change that again. Got to CONFIG: DDS FRQ. If the display shows 3.58something, then you have the older KSYN3. If the display shows - - - - then it's a KSYN3A (which doesn't have a DDS). 73 from Ian GM3SEK
