[Elecraft] K3 won't transmit split (SSB) if monitoring sub

2016-01-19 Thread Ron Spencer
Set split on K3. Monitor sub and no rf out. Stop monitoring sub (still split) and fine output. Same result on cw. And yes, I've hit a to B twice so ALL shows. Thought I'd post here first for ideas. Thanks Ron N4XD __ Elecraft mailing

[Elecraft] WTB KIO3B

2015-12-31 Thread Ron Spencer
If someone is upgrading to the new KIO3BUPKT board I'm interested in buying your old board. Seems my KIO3B board has lost the band data capability. Please contact me directly (ron.e.spen...@gmail.com) as I don't want to clutter up the reflector with replies. Thanks Ron N4XD

[Elecraft] sub goes dead

2015-03-13 Thread Ron Spencer
A dumb question but are you sure you have a filter in that slot and have it configured right? I don't have my K3 here so can't go through the config but I know you need to config both sub and main for the filters. I had a similar issue and I hadn't config'd the filters in the sub correctly. Would

[Elecraft] K3 fails low power cal

2009-12-06 Thread Ron Spencer
I've sent this to Elecraft tech but thought I'd post it here too. My K3, using latest firmware, fails the low power cal on 160. On all bands the power out doesn't vary with the power knob until the K3 kicks over to the 100W amp then acts correctly. I've tried, several times, the power cal using

[Elecraft] K3 NR adjustment

I'll also send this directly to Elecraft. What I'd like to have is the ability to adjust through the various NR settings without having to hold in the NR button then scroll through the settings. Would it be possible to have a menu selectable choice so that if RIT/ XIT is not being used (either

In the most recent digest version of the reflector I counted 10 of the 48 posts as having nothing to do with Elecraft. Can we please, please keep this reflector focused on Elecraft? An example is the doublet string that went on forever and had nothing to do with Elecraft. I understand some

[Elecraft] K3: Antenna Ports

2008-12-29 Thread Ron Spencer
During the recent Stew Perry 160 contest I found that at some points the transmit vertical was better then the beverages for receiving the west coast. It seems that when I assign the second receiver to main it uses whatever antenna I have selected for the main receiver and not the main transmit

Guys great addition, thank you. Anyone else notice a large increase in audio output with this latest version of firmware? I find it to be the case and welcome it. The heil headset I use takes more drive then the other headphones. Elecraft, thanks! Ron N4XD

[Elecraft] K3 and 6 meters

2008-10-23 Thread Ron Spencer
I can say without hesitation that the K3 is sub par on 6 meters compared to other rigs below its class. I compared directly with an IC746. When we enjoyed a rare opening on 6 to JA earlier this year I was able to work a JA with the K3. Barely. And I say barely because the audio was cranked all the

[Elecraft] K3 and RTTY

2008-07-25 Thread Ron Spencer
I've tried using the dual PB capability of the K3 on RTTY but can never seem to get a RTTY signal through it to be able to decode (I am using MMTTY). No problem without using the DPB filters. So if someone has the time might you walk me through the settings you use for the K3 and RTTY? Roofing

Anyone using this combination? What settings for the K3 and microkeyer did you use? I get the K3 keyed but only a steady, or no tone when transmitting. Feel free to reply direct ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or via the reflector. Thanks Ron N4XD ___ Elecraft

[Elecraft] K3 on 6

Anyone else notice (and I know this will be difficult with hardly any openings) that the sensitivity of the K3 on 6 is down? Compared to the 746 I have it seems down quite a bit (even with the K3 preamp on). Will be interested to hear what others have to say. Can report off list ([EMAIL
