Re: [Elecraft] shack project

Charlie, Did you mean the K3 or the KX3? I assume the KX3 since you did not list the K3 previously. In the cable between the KX3 and the KXPA100, there is a box with an RCA jack for Keyout to another amplifier. Just connect that to your amp's Keyin (or PTT) jack, and the 811 amp will key.

Re: [Elecraft] shack project

Did not know I could connect the KXPA 100 to the K3. Still learning the Elecraft line. I think the KXPA 100 is first on my list. Then maybe swap the 756 for the 7300. That way I get a new radio with a panadaptor. I can then start saving for a K3s down the road. Thanks to all for the info

Re: [Elecraft] shack project

OK - let me clarify:  The 7300 is a fine little rig. For the price, I doubt if it can beaten. That said, I have been very pleased with my K3 for over six years and if it was to quit tomorrow - I would pick up the phone and order its replacement (K3S) with overnight shipping. Cannot be without

Perhaps send the broken 756 to Icom America for repair. But I agree with K4TO that Elecraft customer service and support is second to none. Their email response time is quick and I feel confident that parts for my K3S's will be available for a long time. John KK9A From: Charles Carlon Very

Re: [Elecraft] shack project

No doubt there are good radios available. But just remember. If it breaks, someone has to fix it. Elecraft is the ONLY manufacturer I know of that will send me an email from support with hints and helpful suggestions BEFORE I contact them. I Went first to TenTec many years ago and then to

Re: [Elecraft] Shack project

Charlie, Since the KPA100 is an add-on for the K2, I assume that you mean the KXPA 100. Why can't you drive your 811 with a KXPA100? 73, John AC0ZG On 3/2/2018 7:41 PM, Charles Carlon wrote: Time to update and organize the Shack. I currently have Icom 756 Pro III Icom 7100 KX3 with
