I have a question on using my K4D at my home QTH in SD from AZ as a
snowbird? If I buy a second K4D can I access/control/use my K4D from AZ
at my home QTH over the internet. I want to do Digital, CW and SSB.
I also read about "VK4". What is the status of this software?
Thanks,

I was told by Madelyn on 10-22-2021 4-6 months. The problem is getting
parts.
I paid for mine! .

I keep trying to find a picture for months of the inside of the K4 but I

I have a KPA-1500 #171 and when I set the fans at 1 the air is being
pulled from the back by only the middle fan on the back. The air is

little over 5" x 8". I feel a good deal of air coming out the top

of the many good things.

I got a call today checking my address and that my KPA-1500 would be shipped.
Later today I get an e-mail confirming that my order will be shipped UPS.
Following is the original order information. I paid for it up front so I get
free shipping. I will post when it arrives and the S/N # Five
My Invoice is dated 8/29/2017 for the full amount. I am sure we are all
curious what the invoice date is of those being shipped with admittedly
the warning that is not an absolute but it would give us that ordered
some clues.
Thanks!

The lack of a good manual and no diagram for the K3/0 is way..below
the normal Elecraft standards. It is especially bad if in addition to

There just is no documentation as to what is going on!

We had good success this week end in the ARRL RTTY RU with the 500 hz

For those now or in the future wanting to setup the PK-232 with the K3

After reading the various posts on the K3 ACC DB15 it seems to be much

Yes, or at least mine does, and I want it that way. It's not really
what I'd consider VOX, though - it's activated
Lyle,
Thanks for the info! It sounds absolutely correct as the DVR that I am
inputting on line in from my computer sounds a lot better in the
monitor. I did find out when using line in that the mic is still HOT
which makes sense. This leads to the question??? With the KDVR3 when
sending
I must be missing something. From the way I read the manual you just
turn Line in on and set the level and then you go back to Mic + line in
and the level for line in is retained and different than the mic level.
Did I not understand the manual?

First a little back ground as Wayne probably has not read the line-In +
Mic discussion.
When one uses the computer for a DVR for contesting an easy way to do it
is to take advantage of the Line Input but given one also wants to use
the mic for operating then the MIC is hot during the playing

Having done the KRX3 just recently and looking at the DVR3 manual it

will also want to do the DVR3 before you re-mount the Front Panel.

For future reference for people searching as to why there KRX3 is not
hearing any signals be sure the filters are installed in the slots they
are supposed to be. You will have noise and the sub controls will work
