I used that feature this morning and it seemed to work fine for me. I was on 30M RTTY split and VFO B was on some other mode. I didn't realize it and when I went to transmit, it didn't transmit in RTTY. I hit AB, readjusted the VFO B freq with the middle knob and all was fine. On Wed, Mar

Re: [Elecraft] 2008 Elecraft QSO Party

I asked this question a couple of weeks ago and got no response either. I would think that with over 500 new K3s out there that many would like to use them. :) Maybe it will be rescheduled later this year. At 3/8/2008 06:09 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When is the 2008 Elecraft QSO party

[Elecraft] EQP ??

Is there an EQP for this year? Last year it was the second weekend in March, which by my calendar is in two weeks. Nothing on the website indicates the dates and changes for 2008. Any news? ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to:

[Elecraft] K3: VOX pumping when notch is turned on

I'll be submitting this the support line, but wanted to know if anyone else has seen this. In SSB mode, with the headphones on (plugged in front panel), I turn on the auto-notch. I get the VOX tripping on and off but when it trips, RX audio starts coming out the speaker as well as the

Re: [Elecraft] K3/s in ARRL CW Test?

My K3 was on 40M and for 6 QSOs on 10M from K1RX. We initially had an interstation interference problem with the 80M station. It was causing pops and strange behavior with the AGC. We tried to manage it with antenna orientation and judicious frequency use, but it didn't seem to help. I

[Elecraft] K3: CW Sidetone on line out

When recording through the Line Out, I find that the CW sidetone is not present. As far as I know, this was on the list of features to be implemented. But has it been implemented? The other day, I tried recording. As I looked at the audio waveforms, I noticed that indeed the sidetone was

[Elecraft] Date, bugs, and features

I don't want to add to all the noise about deliveries and delays, but I do want to make a suggestion. First, as some of you know, I was lucky to receive my K3 early on. While I was able to enjoy it sooner than most, my K3 had more problems and features to deal with than the K3s that are

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Sidetone Volume

I would like to see the sidetone outputted on the the LINE OUT so that when I record a QSO, I can get both sides. Having it Menu selectable to avoid having problems with using LINE OUT with digital QSOs would also be a good idea. I haven't found the level to be a problem and I know many

Bob- Make sure you have the latest firmware. Up until the recent release there were problems with the Line In. One problem was that although you had Line In selected, it really wasn't selected unless you went in to the menu and selected another input and the re-selected Line In. I would
