I don't see a KANT3a listed - I was hoping to get something like that with my K3 - I wanted the ANT1 ANT2 function but had no need for the tuner . Was told there was not enough market for such an animal . Too late now, ended up buying a KAT3 to get the function , figured a K3 with tuner more

While we are on this subject - is there a way to have CW+SSB on the split frequency as in using the subrx for split freq and want to get a carrier with key ? I have tried b SET and A>B ALL etc etc . You CAN get it by an A/B and turning off split but would be handy to simply have it on both

Re: [Elecraft] K3 NB

2016-05-17 Thread HankP
Another approach -like K2AV. I suspect the reason there are so many differing opinions on the effectiveness for the K3NB is that the noise pulses from an arcing piece of powerline hardware can be so different . In fact the better powerline RFI folks now use a receiver that takes a
