[Elecraft] New behavior using JT65

I have been using my KX3 for JT65 successfully for about a year, but now get this new behavior... When I go to transmit, all is well; when the transmission should end, the tones stop as expected, but the KX3 stays in transmit (until I hit the XMIT button). Clearly something is amiss. I

[Elecraft] Many thanks

Dear folks at Elecraft and on the list; I have been enjoying Elecraft products for many years, starting with a K1, then a K2, then a KX2... followed by my current K3, KX3, and KX2. I use the K3 as my mainradio in the shack. It is fairly loaded with the second receiver and nice filters and

[Elecraft] Getting higher gain from input of line in or rear panel mic on K3

I am trying to get set up for JT9 in Data A mode; I am not getting enough drive from the sound card to adequately drive the K3. I am wondering (but cannot figure out from the manual) how to achieve this using either Line In or the rear mic jack when in Data A, and get more gain, but not use

[Elecraft] PX3 question

I am running a KX3-PX3 set; on the PX3 set for the spectrum in top, waterfall on bottom, I note the following oddity: The right side of the spectrum display has a green tint to it. What's up with that? Is it normal; anyone else see it? Thanks & 73 de Dave, W5SV

[Elecraft] Charging IMEDION2400 mAh batteries?

I have these MEDION2400 mAh batteries that I am using in my KX3; I have 2 set of them so I can be charging one set while operating with the other. My question is, using my Powerex programmable charger, what settings should I use for current and time? Thanks in advance & 72 de Dave, W5SV

ntil it latches. Check the connections at your power supply, they must be tight - if you can move them at all, they are not tight. Also check the fuse and fuseholder. The fuse must make tight contact with the fuseholder contacts. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/30/2016 9:24 AM, 'David F. Reed' w5

etup adding the PX3. First, I am *not* experiencing this with my setup. Second, what are you doing (i.e. software controls, macros, etc.) right *before* this happens? What version of F/W are you running on each? 73, Joel - W4JBB On Sep 30, 2016, at 06:42, David F. Reed <w5sv.d...@gmail.com

[Elecraft] KX3/KXPA100 issue

I am running a KX3 into a KXPA100. It all plays very nicely except for one issue; on a seemingly random basis, it seems to lose communications between them in a big way. The KX3 has (without my doing anything) reset the PA Mode to Off, and the PWR to 5.0. When this happens, let's say I have
