Re: [Elecraft] Spot - No Spot

Hi Randy: Wayne is aware of reports of this glitch and is attempting to reproduce it on his K3 so he can properly address the problem. In my personal experience, if you 'peck' at the [SPOT] button, you'll usually get only the BEEP, but if you're a bit more 'assertive', (but not so assertive that

Re: [Elecraft] K3 AFX

Arie: During the CQWW CW we used my K3 at PI4D and tried out the AFX. Very nice feature when the frequency is as crowded as in the CQWW. Pity the sidetone (monitor) is normal mono. ONLY if you are using a single speaker. With dual speakers, AFX works nicely! I suggest that if AFX is

Re: [Elecraft] External speakers?

Tim: Personally, I like the UNamplified Motorola Mobile Speakers. I bought a pair of them a month or so ago for about $9 each, not including shipping, off EBay. They're 8-Ohm (wish they were 4 Ohms though) but give a very nice sounding audio and the black color goes nicely with the K3. 73,
