[Elecraft] RX antenna & carrier-operated relay

Hi guys, I was thinking of a possible firmware improvement related to the carrier operated relay. I use my radio on a small lot and recently I added a short beverage antenna for low-bands receiving. My main activity is single-op contesting. Because of the interaction between the tx antennas and

[Elecraft] Any news on Controlled Envelope SSB for Elecraft rigs?

Hi guys, after some time, I was wondering if any news are available on the Controlled Envelope SSB for Elecraft rigs. Maybe is it on the wishlist? For sure it would be a great improvement for K3 (and KX3) in many environments (contesting for sure!) Thanks, Ciao Fabio IZ4AFW / IO4W / NZ1W

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Looking for feedback on K3DVR

Hi guys, I have my KDVR installed since my first K3. My activity is 99.5% contesting... my best spent bucks definitely, in particular if you're going to be low power. No delays for me. Just need to be quick when you press the buttons, as the recording starts immediately. The same applies for

[Elecraft] Cloning K3 settings

Hi guys, I'm trying to clone the K3 configuration to another (similar, but not identical) K3. Is there an automatic way to do this? I've tried the K3 Utility, but doing a Save/Restore K3 config seems to be a (potentially) dangerous way to do that, as the configuration file includes the

[Elecraft] [K3] DVR feature request for next firmware release

Hi guys, during contests I often use the K3 DVR in the auto-repeat mode. I'd like to suggest an improvement, i.e. the possibility to adjust the delay not in seconds but in tenths of a second. That would allow a more precise repeat timer... sometimes you need to set for example 2.5 seconds of

Hi guys, I'm using my K3 with a Yamaha CM-500 headset. My main activity is contesting, mainly on SSB (and some RTTY). I am used to record my audio with the K3 line out. Sometimes (when I have some spare time) I listen to the recorded audio. What I've found is that many times the recorded audio

Hi guys, for the same reason I think that rolling off at least the first TXEQ band could be a good idea also for AFSK communication, but the TXEQ is flat in data mode, and not modifiable. Could this be an useful addition to a new firmware release? Ciao 73 Fabio IZ4AFW - NZ1W - HI9/IZ4AFW
