Hi Andy and all, Good for you, congratulations on nailing them on 160m. It looks like even on 20m they are at their best between midnight and 4am EDT. I have resigned myself to some sleepless nights in order to nail them. For me it's an ATNO. The propagation forecast site linked to on their web

Hi Dany, 1.1Mixing Transceiver and Panadapter Commands A single macro sequence of Programmer’s Commands can control both the transceiver and its panadapter. That is, K3S/K3 and P3 commands, or KX3 and PX3 commands, can be in the same macro. Mixing both K3S/K3 and P3 or KX3 and PX3 commands

For one data point, when I got up for other reasons this morning at 2:20 a.m., I turned on the radio, as I need KH1 on 160. They were very solid copy on 1822.5, and easy to work, using my K3 and KPA500, with only an inverted vee for TX and RX. I was surprised that they were solid copy, as

[Elecraft] [K3} Factory upgrade to K3(s)

2018-06-28 Thread Dauer, Edward
If I remember correctly, the new synths also fix some operating limitations of the K3 in high-speed QSK, which was my principal reason for making the switch. Receive recovery time seems shorter. And I believe they extend receiver usability in VLF from 500 down to 100 Khz or so, for 220M.

A perfect solution is at hand. I had two left over rear rubber feet from a KPA500 replacement bottom cover kit and I found that they will mount using existing screw locations on the bottom of the KAT500. Using these feet makes the KAT500 match perfectly with the height of the SP3 that it is

It cannot. The ACC cable caries a very terse form of the K3's VFO frequency on AUXBUS and the four band lines. Macros come via the RS-232 serial port. What you might try is a cable from the KAT500 "tune" connector to the K3's straight key line, then use the KAT500 ATU TUNE button to key the
