Hi, folks, I just installed the KXV144 in my K3 and all went smoothly --
it even works, after a fashion. I have this one teensy problem...
...it's not transmitting on the frequency (simplex) it says it's on.
I know about setting ALT for -/+ or simplex, I've got the ADR set to

Hi folks, thanks to those who offered advice on the failure of my KPA3
to actually amplify anything. A new wrinkle has turned up as of this
afternoon when I resumed testing on it: the KPA3 works every now and
then very *briefly* and after it does I get the ERR 12V message on my
display which
In the past few days, I've noticed the KPA3 in my K3 serial number #584
acting flaky. Well, today it apparently failed -- or maybe I'm
missing something (?). No matter what I do, the rig is limited to 12 W
(or so it says); I've switched the KPA3 on and off numerous times in
software, I've
Thanks for the suggestion, Ed, but I don't see any hint of carbon on
either the plug or the receptacle pins that connect the KPA to the rest
of the radio. Do you know -- or does anybody know? -- what sort of
quick check of voltages I could measure to check whether the KPA is
functional?
And, yup, me too:
KX1 #0020
K1 #1005
K2 #1299
K3 #0584

K? 2908 = digit sum of 1
No special serial numbers for me, though... :)

I've just discovered a 2T-GEN two tone generator kit which I bought not
long before I decided to buy a K3. As you may know, the K3 has a 2-tone
generator built in, so the one I have is now surplus but would be ideal
for a K2 owner.
So it's for sale. It's unbuilt, in original packing/pink
Don, the problem is that I have no connection to the K3 from my computer
anymore despite the fact that I *did* have one until a few weeks ago.
Neither the Prolific USB-serial nor real com ports -- and three
different computers! -- make any difference. I think it's a problem
with the K3
I agree with the OP as far as the K3 goes and have no experience of the

spectrum scope can do. Does anyone know what is it about it that you
*can't* do with the K3 as presently outfitted? I know about LP-Pan and
all, so my
That seems reasonable, Simon, but if you're already *on* 6, can't you
just tell by the sounds? I don't mean to be difficult, I really am curious!

Hi,
Make sure that the KSYN3 and XREF3 boards are not shorting to the front
panel shield. The clearance is very close, and sometimes the leads on
the undersides of the boards can be a bit too long. You might consider
putting a small washer under the screw that holds them

Hi, gang, I need your help. I just received a new MH2 mike from
Elecraft and intend it for eventual use on my third round K3 order. In
the meantime, I modified my K2 to use it -- the sheet included with the
mike provided instructions for doing so and I added the resistor across
pins 1 and 6
Hi, folks, I ordered a K3 last week or so for December delivery and am
*really* looking forward to it! But one option I just really really
need is the noise blanker. I went to website this evening and searched
for a place where I could place an order for one, but no luck. What's up?
Tnx!

Does anyone know how to disable the auto keyer in the K2? I want to use the Idiom Press CMOS 4 keyer and feed the K2 via the key jack in the rear.

Go into the menu, select InP (for Input) and then select HAnd for
handkey. That
