Hi, all concerned: Operating computer-assisted digital modes has become easier and simpler, for me at least, with the K3's accessibility features. I started with WSPR, added WSJT-HF, and am looking at other modes, after reading a post here somewhere by K9YC (thanks, Jim, heh heh).

[Elecraft] I just *know* there's an explanation for this K3 behavior

Hi, all concerned: I swl with the K3, and have been trying to make it scan the widest possible spans outside the ham bands. In the process, I have accumulated a list of frequencies (found by tuning first A, then B, from 490 KHz to 30 MHz) where the K3 behave in interesting ways. The A list of

Re: [Elecraft] K3 memory

Hi, all concerned: I'm glad to report that the problem seems to be cured. I saved the params with the K3 utility. I performed an EE INIT, which by itself eliminated the syndrome. Then I reloaded the saved params. Syndrome returned. To be thorough, I downloaded and re-installed RV4.39 f/w.

[Elecraft] K3 memory

Hi, all concerned: I've been using v4.39 firmware for a while. In a prior fw version, at least a year ago, using the K3 MemEd, I programmed in, eg, vfo A=7000.00 and vfo B=7030.00, so I can use the MV button as a bandswitch, and scan from A to B. Worked fine afterwards. Didn't have a P3

Re: [Elecraft] K3 memory

Ive sent requested stuff to DickD who will look into it. It seems to remember the *last* entry, no matter what band is hand-entered or switched to. Brgds, Dave, N3HE -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-memory-tp6672414p6672875.html Sent from the Elecraft

[Elecraft] How to block pop-up sites in Windows IE

I'm recovering from disk failure (well, thanks, backup, you know), and thought others might be interested in the Subject matter. Left-click Tools on the menu bar. Left-click Internet Options on the drop-down menu. Left-click the Privacy tab. Left-click the Sites button. Either copy and paste

[Elecraft] Looking for a special situation in Jacksonville, FL area

Hi, all concerned: In the next six months or so, I will be moving to an in-law suite in the Jacksonville FL area, exact location unknown. In the last 5-6 years, I've put a decent ELECRAFT-ALPHA station together in Cincinnati. The antenna system can be seen on qrz.com, googleearth, and

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Right Side Panel Scratched

Take the panel to your choice of auto paint shops. Maaco comes to mind. Brgds, Dave, N3HE -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/P3-Right-Side-Panel-Scratched-tp6564114p6567576.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Elecraft] K3: remote control

Hi, all concerned: In the next 6 months, I'll be going from having a competitive station to . . . heavysigh . . . an in-law suite which will likely have HOAs and restrictive covenants, somewhere in or near Jacksonville FL. I am interested in remotely controlling a K3 over the 'net, as simply as

Re: [Elecraft] Price Comparisons

When Mr Collins himself was in control, iirc, the rumor in th '50s was that the 'A4 cost about four large to manufacture, while, as a favor to fellow hams, he let them steal it for ~$750. The beancounters eventually reined him in. Brgds, Dave, N3HE -- View this message in context:

Re: [Elecraft] We need to develop the Ideal Antenna!

Dunno if this is ideal, however, I have 2 Hustler 6BTV's and they can be fed together as a dipole. I plan to put them in a pvc pipe, for wx resistance and some mechanical stability, and use them as a 6-band slopper, leaning toward my tower and fed with 7/8 line to handle vswr excursions.

Re: [Elecraft] Relay noises??

To redirect what seems to be a tone of disbelief, or nonrecognition, of the relay chatter syndrome, perhaps Gary Surrency could write up here re his diagnosis of my K3 several months ago. I'll ask the local who's using the K3 which has the relay chatter, if he's willing to post his findings.

Re: [Elecraft] Relay noises??

Got the same problem in one of my K3s. According to facsupport, in early units there is a custom PLD chip which sometimes develops timing issues at random intervals, and that $99+2wayship will likely take care of the problem. A local fellow has been using the K3 in the mean time, and putting up

Shudda written that I haven't seen the flashes mentioned above; only heard the relay chatter while tuning with the A knob. Brgds, Dave, N3HE -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Relay-noises-tp6298266p6299179.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at

Turns out that doing the following fixes the problem: Click on start, on the search box type msconfig, click on the startup tab and uncheck all ATI listings, apply, close, and restart. Thanx much to all who replied offlist. Brgds, Dave, N3HE -- View this message in context:
