Re: [Elecraft] K3s Line Out (stereo)

Last Field Day, my K3 was used at the CW station. Two sets of headphones. One for the operator and one for the logger. One was plugged into the rear panel Phones jack and the other was plugged into the front panel jack. No problem, no splitter. Ok, if there were folks nearby who wanted to

Re: [Elecraft] Non-Resonant Antennas and Chokes

Why don't you cut the dipole in the center, add an insulator and feed it with coax?  Put a CM choke at the feedpoint if you insist and lose the ladderline and tuner. Prune the wire length for resonance. Wes  N7WS On 1/15/2019 7:15 PM, John Pierce wrote: I haven't read all the comments on

Do you have a sub-receiver? Without it, I don’t think you have any signal to hear. Why use Line Out for speakers. There is a perfectly good jack marked Speakers right next to the Phones jack. Be sure and use a Stereo plug but it is for wait for it. Speakers! Sent from my iPhone

I haven't read all the comments on this thread and thus may requesting redundant info. My antenna, for 40 mtr's, is a 67' wire up about 25'. I have 30' of 450 ohm ladder line connected to the end of the antenna and bringing the antenna into my basement. So I guess you could say that I have a

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Sub-receiver RIT

You have to integrate SO2V operation with the logging software. If you just switch VFO's, you have to switch back to run mode when you go back to the run frequency. Any small delay improves the chances you'll miss a contact or lose the frequency, so it has to be very fast. With the software I

Re: [Elecraft] Query for new DSP features

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Sub-receiver RIT

Gernot, If you have the subRX, why not tune to listen for those off-frequency stations with the VFO B knob. Your transmit frequency is unchanged on VFO A, so no need for RIT unless you are only listening to the mainRX. An easy VFO A>B pushbutton will put VFO on the same frequency as VFO A

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Sub-receiver RIT

John, the issue with SO2V is that you want to stay on your run frequency, but be able to slightly tune up and down to hear callers which are not exactly on your TX freq. RIT comes in handy here, as you just press RIT or CLR after the QSO is finished. I don't have a K-POD, but if it would let
