Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Hi cur on 6 meter

Hi Max, It seems that the KPA3 is not as efficient on 6m as on the other bands. My K3 draws 21.5A at 6m/100W. A friend of mine who owns a K3 complained about this phenomenon as well (25% more current on 6 than on other bands). Maybe the design team can explain this behavior ... -- Enno, PF5X

Re: [Elecraft] My K3's hissy and noisy audio

. This gives the RX a more analogue behaviour and it increases the distance between the background noise level and desired signal. I am still using F/W 2.76, so the new options in F/W 3.0x might be able to further improve the situation. -- Enno, PF5X K3 #1263 Hello everybody, During last CQ

[K3] [Elecraft] K3: 1. Loud audio blast on power up 2. Main/SUB balance

on the microKEYER router software it appears that the SUB output is lower than the MAIN output with the balance knob in the 12 o'clock position (after equalizing both main and sub with double tapping AB). This is effect is also audible (~6dB difference). Any cure for that ?? -- Enno, PF5X
