[Elecraft] K3 Filter question

I have recently been examining how my K3 filters operate and was curious if I could somehow expand the range I can use my lowest filter which is 250 kHz. It generally cuts out at 300 kHz and then my 1.8 kHz filter takes over. I would like to use the 250 kHz filter up to 400 kHz as I have read

[Elecraft] [K3] RTTY digital setup issue

Recently I switched to a new MicroHam microkeyer 2 from the USB 3 product and have had some issues with DM780 transmitting solid RTTY signals with accuracy from my K3. It appears that when in Data A mode on the K3 my RTTY transmission is putting erroneous characters in place of the ones I

Re: [Elecraft] {K3} New Upload of MCU stuck

No problem. I tried uploading the firmware update through the virtual port created by uRouter program from MicroHam. This is a major no no. I followed the instructions as per Fred's manual that I needed to follow the bootstrap procedure for failed upload and found out that I needed a direct

Re: [Elecraft] Antenna Rotator

I use a G450A with my steppir three element and it works great. I purchased the aftermarket MDS RC1 controller and Condrut's PST rotator program and it gives me computer control either direct or remote. Condrut's program is excellent and you can integrate it with DX Cluster in HRD for bearing

[Elecraft] [KX3] Mobile install change of plans

I have recently decided against installing my KX3 in my mobile as I cannot seem to provide it a stable enough environment for it to operate. My Silverado seems to have issues. I have decided to instead install my K3 1391 as my mobile and over the past couple days it has been operating

Re: [Elecraft] Change to KX3 RF board at #2500

Thanks for sharing this information as I would like to send up my KX3 serial 847 to Elecraft for this modification. I must be living under a rock because this is the first I heard of this mod. Keith AK6ZZ Sent from my iPhone please excuse typos On Nov 13, 2012, at 8:41 AM, Dave Lankshear

Re: [Elecraft] Small HF amp suggestions

I would be careful with the RM Italy amps. I have not been able to get mine to operate properly with the KX3 in my mobile. Lots of spurious RF issues and we are super well grounded with ferrites/torroids everywhere. For now I am putting in an older Icom mobile until the 100W amp from elecraft

Re: [Elecraft] Need Headphone recommendations for K3

I use some $30 skull candy ear buds with my KX3 for receiving only and they work great. Very sensitive. I would use them with the K3 but I like having the microphone built in so I am using a Yamaha MDE-100 and they work great. Very light on my head and as one person mentioned about another

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Problem

I operate my K3 with compression of 14 and mic gain at 34-38 depending on conditions and environment (contesting, DXing or ragchewing). With the Yamaha MDE-100 microphone I get good audio reports. Guess each microphone has slightly different settings for optimum Audio quality. Keith AG6AZ

Re: [Elecraft] K3-PR10

I second the notion of a combined unit. My noise floor is low on 6m and 10m in most directions (except when i aim my antennas (steppir three element and stack of sevens for 6m) south towards Tijuana - i live four miles from the border) nevertheless I would buy a combined unit in a nanosecond.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 headset recommendation

I am using a Yamaha HPE100 microphone on my K3 with great results. I like how it sounds and always seems to provide ample punch. I want to get another one for the KX3. Keith AG6AZ Sent from my iPhone please excuse typos On Oct 21, 2012, at 6:07 AM, Rick Stealey rstea...@hotmail.com wrote:
