Good Evening,    Conditions were good enough to log a few of you.  On twenty meters the QSB was deep, the QRN was medium to high, and there was some faint QRM making life interesting.  Forty meters had less noise but there were some storms acting up.  Less QSB too.   On 14050.5 kHz at

I've used (successfully) a USB relay to momentarily toggle AUX line 8 (? check) to remotely power the K3 on but now I've switched to the N6TV S-Box-USB and Y-Box system, which works in much the same way (and can remotely power on the Elecraft amps, cleans up cabling etc.). Both methods

To the best of my knowledge, there are no firmware upgrades that require hardware changes. The firmware is written to figure out which version to load - an example is the old and the new DSP board - but that was long ago. The converse is NOT true - some hardware changes require firmware

Joe, I cannot recall any instance where the firmware upgrade broke the K3 - same for the KX3/KX2. There have been a few who suspected a problem with a firmware upgrade, but it turned out to be some other problem. I would recommend that you simply upgrade to the latest and be done with it.

Almost sounds like you have a connection somewhere on 6 meters that is not 100% and as soon as the RF hits it makes itself solid. Could be anywhere in the circuit. That's the first thing I would check out. On Sat, Jun 13, 2020 at 2:17 PM Richard Zalewski wrote: > ATU is doing its job on all
