Gentelmen,
Read the details and not the message subject only. It is not a matter of a
faulty detector and a HF caused false AFCI trip. There is no way 100W RF to
trip a detector that is OK at 500W. Tom guessed it right, it should be the
KPA3-100. As the issue is on 80M only (maybe on 160M
There are multiple aspects to this question. As another K4 field tester,
here's my take, trying to objectively outline the choices for all users.
1. Any of the following soundcard alternatives can be used with the K4:
a. PC soundcard, either integrated or added, e.g., via USB or
plug-in
The Advantage has a soundcard in it. I have one too, but I used it in my
old Icom 746 pro.

But *I* find it curious that there are no pics of whats under the hood.
I guess there's a reason for that but I'd sure like to see more photos

Has anyone actually received his K4? The Elecraft sales lady said they
are slowly shipping first wave units. I find it curious there is no
excited chatter about it.
The suspense is killing me !!! :-)

I meant to say that 4K is the maximum resolution supported. Standard lower

The K4 has an internal sound card but its use is optional. I've used it on
AFSK but not yet on other digital modes. Level setting is via soft
controls, not dedicated physical knobs. This requires tapping the
touch-screen several times, then turning the main tuning knob to adjust
each level. You

Hi Dennis,
The sound card is built into the K4 (stereo line out for RX, line in for TX).
Adjustment is simple. There is no advantage whatsoever to using an external
sound card.
The K4 also has analog line in/out for backwards compatibility, and supports
digital audio streaming over Ethernet

Do not use a Y cable. I could go into the whole technical description, but
don’t.
I’m assuming here a normal non-USB K3. What you should do is connect the P3
normally to the K3 through the XCVR port on the P3, and then connect the
Microham device to the PC port on the P3.

I had the same problem with a new house in 2011. The Eaton breakers of that era

Is the Windom in your attic or outside? My guess is that your antenna is
parallel to the house wiring, and is inducing a current on the ground or
