[Elecraft] KX3 For Sale

2020-06-07 Thread David Kuechenmeister
I've decided to part with my Kx3, in favor of the Kx1 for portable operations. Before I put this up on QRZ, I thought I'd offer it for sale here. It works very well. It's just that I usually find myself on 30 or 40 meter CW and it's far to capable a rig to just use 10% of the features.

I didn't study this site too deeply, but KP4MD has the most appropriate characteristics on her page, here, http://www.qsl.net/kp4md/zipcord.htm. You might also look at Owen Duffy's pages. His transmission line calculator is great. I think the last entry for zip 105 is zip cord, but you should

I think 42 might be a valid answer, depending on the question. Forty-one is certainly a good answer! There are a couple pages that try to address the question of what long wire lengths are the easiest to tune, i.e. present a low SWR to the matching unit. The first is at

So does Davis... http://www.davisrf.com/buryflex.php. I've bought a lot of wire from them. Plus, I like calling them to place the order, rather than filling out an automatic form. vy 73,Dave N4KD On Tuesday, February 23, 2016 5:13 PM, John E Bastin wrote: On Feb

Best possible could run into some money. You can get Pasternack to build a 36 in. jumper from RG223 ( double shielded and very small bend radius) for about $35. You can buy the parts for about $22 and DIY.

I ran my K3 with the K3IOB upgrade card installed. I also have a P3 and set it to a 10 KHz span. Before, when I used the line out as an input to Fldigi, it seemed like there was a little more tolerance in how I tuned in on the space signal. Now, I notice that the K3 decodes text when I get

Thanks for all the discussion on the APF. I've got a technique now and I think I can refine it into something useful. vy 73,Dave N4KD On Saturday, February 6, 2016 8:02 AM, Chuck Guenther wrote: I've been using APF in my K3 since it was in Beta testing.  I love

I tried this the other day with no success. That is, the weak signal that was barely detectable, became so buried in ringing that I couldn't detect it at all. I think I followed the procedure outlined in Wayne's email below... Noise was around S5 on 40m and the K3 was configured with APF active.

[Elecraft] Digital Input Pin?

2016-01-27 Thread David Kuechenmeister
I was looking for a way to automatically reduce power when operating on batteries. It seems like another transceiver I once owned had a pin that, when grounded would reduce output power to conserve batteries. I don't see any handy way to do this with the K3, other than crank down the power...
