[Elecraft] Pin 1 and Grounding Post on the K3s

2021-06-23 Thread Peder Kittelson
I have been following the Pin 1 grounding discussions with interest. I have one of the last Elecraft K3s Transceivers built at the factory and love using it. I wonder if the grounding post on the back of the K3s attaches directly to the case or runs to the motherboard ground? I currently have

2021-06-23 Thread Wayne Burdick
Windows Sound Control Panel (also known as mmsys.cpl) apparently does not accurately show input level from the K4's USB LINE OUT sound card interface. Meter deflection will be very low even when there's plenty of signal coming from the radio. However, correct levels *are* shown by programs

Your comments about the EQ are interesting to me. I continue to use a W2IHY audio stack into my K3, because while the 8 band EQ works well in the K3, the other features the EQPlus brings to the table are hard to beat. As I wait for delivery of my K4, one of my ponderings is if I will finally be

I am completing the build of K2 Serial No. 6397. L5 calls for a 33 uH solenoidal inductor (ORG-ORG-BLK). The only inductors I have remaining unused and that appear not to be required are an 11 uH and a 1.5 mH inductor. I have reviewed my completed work and I don't see that I installed the 33
