[Elecraft] How to stop hearing amplifier relays at start of transmission?

2010-10-18 Thread D. R. Evans

[Elecraft] Settings for CM500 on K3?

2010-09-13 Thread D. R. Evans
I don't use SSB much, but I just bought the much-recommended Yamaha CM500 for those occasions when I venture up to that end of the bands. Trouble is, after following the instructions on p. 28 of the K3 operating manual, along with K7YC's suggestions in e-mail <20100908054102.5a05a58...@gw1.nlenet.
