Hi Mike, >From K3 Owner's Manual in the section describing menu entries, p.55: CW WGHT 1.15 Adjusts element/space timing ratio (weight) for the internal keyer. Additional functions of this menu entry, via numeric keypad (Advanced): Tap 1 to select SSB -CW (default) or SSB +CW (allows CW in SSB

Re: [Elecraft] Configure to send CW in SSB mode?

Use the CW WGHT menu item, tap the 1 digit. See the description of CW WGHT around page 59 of the K3S owners manual. 73 de Dick, K6KR > On Mar 8, 2024, at 12:55, Mike Dodd wrote: > > I just received a used K3 as a backup rig (had a K3s before the K4). > > The manual says, and I know 5his

Re: [Elecraft] K3/100 TX problem on 20m

Hi Paul, I'd say that our respective KPA3A TX Gain calibration values are similar enough. Having not had the bipolar PA model KPA3, I don't have a point of reference for whether your TX gain parameter values are reasonable or not. I would contact Elecraft Support and copy Keith, WE6R with a

[Elecraft] Configure to send CW in SSB mode?

I just received a used K3 as a backup rig (had a K3s before the K4). The manual says, and I know 5his to be true, "You can transmit in CW when SSB mode is selected by just hitting the key or paddle." But when I hit my key in LSB mode, no CW is transmitted. Is there a CONFIG or MENU item I

thanks Steve Could you please point me to the assembly manual page to find it? Mine is factory assembled, but I need to fix it here in my country, I need to try Thanks very much! 73, Jorge CX6VM/CW5W El vie, 8 mar 2024 a las 13:32, Steve Cooke () escribió: > Jorge . my K3 displayed the

Re: [Elecraft] K3/100 TX problem on 20m

Hi Mike, Thanks for the gain information. I am going to look at the the gain numbers and see if there is any correlation with the wildly different input impedances to the output lowpass filters. For reference, I found the input Z to the filters to be as follows: 160: 63.8 +J1.6 80: 35.7 +J5.1

Re: [Elecraft] K3 no transmitting

Jorge . my K3 displayed the same fault sometime ago .Turned out to be D1 on the LPA a very fine hairline crack in the solder joint ...without Keith Trinity W6ER's advice in a previous reply to somebody else , I would never have found it .             It was only visible under a bright

Re: [Elecraft] K2 Manual building method

There is no engineering reason for soldering as you go a la Heathkit vs. installing groups of components and then soldering them. I have had both problems mentioned by Skip in my years of building kits: overlooked solder joints and components in the wrong holes. In my experience, looking for a

Make sure your K3 didn't get put in "Test" mode, shown by a flashing "TX" toward the right side of the display. 73, Ken, KJ9B -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Jorge Diez - CX6VM Sent: Friday, March 8, 2024 8:59 AM To: Howard K6IA Elecraft Support ;

[Elecraft] K3 no transmitting

hello My newer K3 is not TX anymore, on any mode, CW, SSB, FT8 The reception is OK, I can listen without problem, all buttons works OK, I cal also decode in FT8 But when I want to transmit, no RF output, on any mode I do TUNE and the display show two lines ( _ _ ) and 0 W We used it in ARRLDX

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Fault 6 and loss of power control

Hello Pete, This happens to my K3S regularly. After it spent WAY too much time back at the mother ship three years ago without them being able to reproduce the fault (RSA #10260, in case Keith is reading this), I was finally able to narrow down the cause. I can reproduce the fault by going

[Elecraft] K3/100 TX problem on 20m

Hi. I had this problem in the recent past. It turned out to be an issue with my multiband yagi. It only occurred on 20m. Hope this helps. Jim EI4HH.

[Elecraft] [K1] was Happy 15th Birthday to my K2!

Petr, I agree, the K1 is also a great lttle rig!  I built mine after very invasive shoulder surgery many years ago.  Since I was in quite a bit of pain, on Vicodin around the clock--and forbidden from lifting heavy weights--I thought it would be a fun experiment to see if I could  build a
