[Elecraft] K3 Sub RX Not Working

2024-04-28 Thread Bernie and Cheryl
Dave: I've had a K3s without the subreceiver for years.  When I pushed the "Sub" button, "No Sub" appeared in the display just like you described. A few months ago, I bought the subreceiver and installed it. When I first turned the K3s on, the same "No sub" message appeared.  I then updated

[Elecraft] KRX3A Subreceiver for K3s

2023-10-08 Thread Bernie and Cheryl
Dear Folks: I suspect that Elecraft no longer sells the KRX3A subreceiver. Can anyone please confirm that for me, and assuming they do not, does anyone have one for sale? Thanks and 73, de Bernie, KF0QS __ Elecraft mailing list

Re: [Elecraft] Recommendation for Microphone for K3s?

2022-11-02 Thread Bernie and Cheryl
Dear Folks: I appreciate all of the recommendations.  One of the reasons why I was considering the Heil mikes is that I already have a pair of nice headphones on the K3s that are comfortable to wear for hours, though they don't have a boom mike.  I've got a Heil boom mike (Pro-7) set for my

[Elecraft] Recommendation for Microphone for K3s?

2022-11-01 Thread Bernie and Cheryl
Dear Folks: Although I'm primarily a CW op, and dabble in FT8 (sadly, sometimes there's no one on anywhere else except for FT8), I'm thinking about expanding my SSB presence on the bands.  I have a K3s and would be interested if anyone has a specific recommendation for a good microphone? 

[Elecraft] K3s, KPA500, FT8 and 6 meters

2022-03-30 Thread Bernie and Cheryl
Dear Folks: I'm not really a big FT8 operator, but if you want to work 6 meters, that's where the action is.  Recently, a local ham sent me an email indicating that I was broadcasting, in addition to my primary FT8 signal, a secondary wider bandwidth signal about 1 khz above my primary

As always, RTFM. The primary of the power transformer has three taps, intended to accommodate the wide range of AC power that each of us has, and the manual describes how to change those taps. It sounds like you need to change yours. As does Bill, K9HZ/J68HZ/six other DX calls (who I worked

[Elecraft] Question Regarding KPA-500 on 117 VAC

2022-03-06 Thread Bernie and Cheryl
Dear Folks: I have been using my KPA-500 (driven by the K3s and transmitting through the KAT-500) for about five years now.  I have long noticed that, when first using it, or if it has sat idling for a while, the amp's supply voltage will be low on transmit and won't go higher until the amp

[Elecraft] K3s Notch Filter

2020-12-15 Thread Bernie and Cheryl
Dear Folks: I have a question about use of the Notch filter on my K3s.  I am primarily a CW operator.  I understand that, in CW mode, the notch filter's operation is manual, and you tune (adjust?) the filter using the VFO B knob (admittedly, I've not tried it in USB or LSB mode, where I

Dave Van Wallaghen is who I was referred to by Elecraft for a thorny problem with my K2. A number of knowledgeable people had looked at the problem and given up. Not only did Dave spend a long time with me on email exchanges, trying to help me fix the problem on my own, but once he got the

I got my K3s (#10323) back in October, 2015, and got my KPA 500 (#2664) a few months later (I have the full K line including the KAT 500). When I built them, I promptly updated the firmware, and haven't done it since.  I checked and my K3s has Firmware Version 5.35 and the KPA 500 has Version

Tom: Since you've not been on HF before, I recommend that you make sure your K3s is as robust as you can make it in terms of RF capability, and leave off the frills until you've been on the air for a while and know what you like. At the beginning, you want contacts to come easy. I do a
