Good Evening,
Spring has finally touched my front yard. Trillium and daffodils
blooming at the same time is odd though, normally they are weeks apart.
I found a number of elk tracks but no defined trails. They seem to be
wandering around finding the easy paths. Lots of very large
Ft-991 (pre-A samples at least) has trouble tuning some multitrap verticals
for all the expected bands, this may explain why

If you're trying to figure out if you should purchase a KAT3A, you cannot buy
one from Elecraft.

So you’re questioning whether you should buy one?
Might have made that clear in your query.
Yes. No K3(S) should exist without the appropriate KAT3(a).

My 6M yagi shows a 5.3:1 SWR as indicated on my K3S on 28.3MHz with the
ATU in Bypass mode. When the KAT3A ATU in the radio resolves a match,
the indicated SWR indicated is 1.1:1 on the radio.
Using the same antenna but using my KAT500 ATU the best SWR resolved is
1.6:1 as indicated on the
If I had one, I would certainly give it a try! I am trying to decide if I
should buy one.

Why not try it.
The KAT3(a) can tune many a strange antenna.
It seems so easy to hook up the antenna and tap the button to see if it works
instead of typing a query here and getting many responses. A lot of which will
suggest “Try it and see. “
Good luck.

I seem to remember a spike a bit right of center. I recall this appears when no
signal or light signals are present. Stronger signals will diminish this
artifact.

I’m not sure why disconnecting the radio and reconnecting again should require
a firmware reload.
Did you try reloading the latest CONFIG file?

Good evening to you as well Christophe,
C71 is properly 82pF, thanks for checking.
That likely means you have a relay problem with either K13, K14 or K15.
You may have a similar problem on bands other than 40m.
You should also check the VFO frequencies on each of the other bands.
Set the K2 to
good evening Don,
visually C71 blue capacitor "82J" so correct for registration, I think?
for C71 in conjunction with K13 pin 7 and K14 pin 4 on the diagram
I will give you the continuities on the relays tomorrow after having
started the K2 on 40M then having turned it off
thanks again for
Christophe,
I made a mistake on the value of C71. With no K60XV installed, the
proper value is 82pF (marked either '82' or 820').

Christophe,
OK, the first thing you need to do is check the value (and soldering) of
C71 - it should be 120pF (marked 121).
If that is correct, you need to check continuity through relays K13, K14
and K15. The schematic shows the relays in their not-set position. K13
and K15 must be
The K3S works just fine on FT modes. I had my line level set for 11 but
today I had to crank my line level way up to get the same output level.
I've made no changes that I'm aware of. My Line out goes to the micro Keyer
II
Any suggestions as to why and how to fix?
I'm using a micro Keyer
Are you sure this might not be an issue with electrical noise sourced from your
PC? I haven't had any such issues with my PX3 using the Elecraft cable.

Hello - I recently purchased a PX3 to support my QRP contesting efforts and am
really glad I did. It really helps streamline S during contests.
However, when I plug a brand new Elecraft-provided USB cable for connecting the
PX3/KX3 into my two-year old HP Pavilion PC, a 3-4db artifact appears
Has anyone successfully used WSJT-X loaded in Raspberry Pi with the KX2? I’d
love to learn how to do it. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi all,
I had disconnected my K3s to move some things behind the radio. When I plugged
everything back in and powered back on, I got the ERR DSX. RTFM, I see that I
needed to reload the firmware. I reloaded the firmware and the K3s Utility
failed with Downloaded DSP1 revision "02.88". Radio
Mike,
That will not work with the K2. You will have to move to the K3 with a
SubRX to do that effectively.

Christophe,
You have not yet answered 2 important questions which relate to your 40
meter operation.
1) Do you have the K60XV option installed (or do you have the Rework
Eliminators installed)?
2) What is your setting of the secondary menu D19 parameter?
The answers to those 2 questions
