Re: [Elecraft] Changing CW pitch?

Hi, If you have a hearing test scheduled anytime soon, ask for a copy of the frequency vs. hearing threshold graph. Find a place you hear well, and set the sidetone for that frequency. This made a BIG difference for the better, in the speed, and ease by which I copy CW. 73s and thanks,

Hi, The P3 doest not duplicate any function FLDigi does, save a few modes for Digital use.  I prefer a full sized computer screen for digital, so using the P3 for digital never happens here...   The real advantage of the P3/SVGA is the band-scope, or Panadaptor.  It shows you most if not all of a

[Elecraft] Macro Spread Sheet Update

Hello, For those of you who put together a Genovation external keypad I have updated the Macro spread sheet located at: http://nk7z.net/adding-an-external-keypad-to-the-k3/ About 3/4 of the way down the article you will find a link to the new spreadsheet.   Macro 35 sets the K3 power to 25

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Panadaptor

Hi John, Set your Span to 10 KHz., then go looking at the pileups for either of the DX operations that are out there now... Offset the center to the side, and look at the people calling the DX station... Watch the traces as the DX station answers callers, you will see the people he is answering

[Elecraft] New Macro in Macro Spreadsheet...

Hello, I have removed the "Split +1" macro, and replaced it with a Split-5 macro.  This now gives both Split +, and Split - macros... the new Macro is as follows: BW0001;SWT13;SWT13;FT1;DNB7;RT0;XT0;#SPN60;#RCF-002500;BW0280; BW sets bandwidth to as narrow as possible... SWT is the same a

Re: [Elecraft] K3S audio board for K3 upgrade?

Berry, Actually it is quite complicated to define what is wrong with the "sound" of something...  What makes audio "fatiguing", exactly?  I can't say, and no amount of listening to it, or playing with the EQ has fixed it in my case...   I used to work in a recording studio, as a mix engineer,

Re: [Elecraft] Contest Settings

Be very careful with the AGC off...  The K3 has enough dynamic range to blow your ears up pretty well..  I have a neighbor that runs a KW, and if he comes up on my frequency, while I am listening for weak DX, it hurts... -- 73's, and thanks, Dave (NK7Z) For software/hardware reviews see:

Hi, I use a Genovation keypad connected to the P3, and hence the K3, for all contesting...  It allows built in macros to be fired with a single keypress into the K3...  See:  http://nk7z.net/adding-an-external-keypad-to-the-k3/ for more info on the keypad. I switch between very wide for

[Elecraft] New Command in P3, Offset...

For those interested, I have a spread sheet of about 30 macros, a few of which use the new command. The spread sheet is under the section titled, "A few tips".  Lines 59 and 60 of the spread sheet contain a macro which will split the K-3, plus 5, set the span to 6 KHz., and then shift the DX

Paul, Thank you and everyone involved for the additional features!  I did not know about the counter increment...  Time to build more macros... The Center offset has been so useful!  I hit a button, and the DX moves to the left edge, and I see the pileup on the right...   I have had a bit of a
