Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft's attention to detail

Well said. I own a K3s and also a K3. The K3 was to go to a friend who wanted me to set it up for him. He didn't like the low serial so I gave him the K3 I built instead and I kept the K3, it is my back-up rig and if I unplug the K3s, I plug everything into the K3 exactly the same way, same

[Elecraft] P3 watt reading

Is there an established way to have the P3 not read in PEP? I would like to use the P3's watt meter to tune my amp but the PEP mode is not good for that. Thanks, 73, Gary KA1J __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

[Elecraft] K3s Transmit question

Last night while using the K3s and WSJT-X on meteor Scatter in the MSK144 mode I was making numerous contacts. I stopped for awhile and returned, this time noticing I was not putting out any output from the amp. The rig went into the transmit state, and the relay engaged on the amp. There
