[Elecraft] Hex Key S/N E 0234

Hi, I am having trouble locating spare finger pieces for this key. I have tried Bencher suppliers in the UK, and none keep spares. I have also e-mailed Bencher and to date not had a reply, perhaps they are on holiday. Morse Express is the only place I have actually seen finger pieces for

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] AF/RF Knob situation - joined the club Me Too!

Hi All, Just checked some of the knobs and it would seem some of the threads in the knobs are not parallel and get tighter as the grub screw is screwed further in. It would seem that a tapered tap has been used on some of the holes and due to small shaft hole has not been through enough to

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Overload from WYFR

Hi All, I was just wondering about the 40 m and started to listen to the AM broadcasts. I also found the nasty noises, but when I checked on the LP-Pan, I found the signal was ok. Of course, when I turned off the noise blanker it went away. Yet another senior moment. 73 Tim gm4lmh

Re: [Elecraft] K3: Relay noise?

Hi, I just had a listen to my K3 when keying. I cannot hear the tick at all in my left ear, but can hear it in my right ear providing I turn my ear towards the top of the K3. If I put my mechanical wrist watch (Tudor Submariner) to my ear it is louder than the tick from the K3. 73 Tim

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Audio Thump

Hi, In the interest of protecting the audio amplifier I have just added the two 470 ohm resistors as per the modification. I now get thump on my powered speakers when I power up the K3, or plug in the headphones. I do not recollect this happening before. 73 Tim gm4lmh

Re: [Elecraft] Amplfied speakers

Hi, For the benefit of those K3 owners in the UK, Tesco have a 1/2 price offer on Logitech X-140 speakers at £19.97. My K3 has never sounded so good on AM. They need quite a bit of drive, they are connected to the rear head phone socket with AF GAIN on HI. The finish also matches the K3 ok

Re: [Elecraft] Prospective K3 Owner

Hi All, I had to go find an old Stanley cross head screw driver, as the posidriver was not a good fit. Having looked at the old Stanley driver #810 I can see that the cross sides are quite tapered as compared with the posidriver and this probably the reason for the better fit. If anyone is

Re: [Elecraft] Re: K3 S/N 412 annoying resonance

Hi All, I did an experiment with my K3 this afternoon, and found the top cover resonating at about 400 Hz, but I had to turn the AF gain to full to get it really going. With the gain at half I could not really notice it. The front edge of the top cover was vibrating against the front panel

Re: [Elecraft] SDR processing delays, Flex 5000

Hi All, I bought a used flex sdr 1000 whilst waiting for a K3, and would agree with Steve. It does however make a good modem for digi modes! That was a mission in itself getting the virtual connections etc to function. I found it almost impossible to send Morse, although Power SDR v 12 seems

Re: [Elecraft] K3: Panoramic adaptor

Hi all, Is there some reason why the I and Q signals from the K3 could not be used by a program like Winrad to demodulate (apart from the fact they are not easily get accessed)? Or is the second if at too high a frequency for a pc soundcard to deal with. Regards Tim gm4lmh

[Elecraft] K2/K3 Noise Blanker

Hi All, I am being plagued by what sounds like an arc welder on 40 m. I have no NB or dsp in my K2, so it is rather a pain in the neck. Being an intermittent random broadband noise, how would the noise blankers in the K2 and K3 cope. The noise peaks at S4 to 5 with the pre amp off, mode CW
