Re: [Elecraft] RCA Connectors i.e Phono Plugs

Never were in UK to my knowledge, we always called them phono plugs and sockets. Jones connectors were always the black cased multi pin connectors with rectangular blades, usually some at right angles to others. Think FT101 power connector. I think Cinch was a manufacturer of Jones

Hi Robin, Make sure you have the P3 and K3 connected via the 9 pin RS232 cable, and that both are at the same baud rate mentioned the manual. Also, in the P3 menu there is an entry for radio type. Select K3 if it is not already entered. 73, Eric /elecraft.com/ On 4/18/2019 7:32 AM,

Chris, Is the K2 CAL FCTR reading steady when you measure TP3 with the internal probe? If not, there is something wrong with either the internal probe or with Q9 and Q10 on the control board. Replace CB Q9 and Q10 with PN transistors and see if that corrects the reading. Once you have

I use the opportunity to follow up on this thread. The IF output of the K3 and K3S is centered on 8.215 MHz. But there is also a second IF at 12 kHz with no output. I wonder if anyone has made an output for the I- and Q- channels at 12 kHz. It looks fairly simple to find judging from the
