[Elecraft] K3 on 6m

I use my K3 daily on 6 m but you need one of the preamps or a good GAsFEt preamp with it…for DX activities. Its fine without for local stuff… especially in urban areas.. 73 Dana VE3DS __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

Re: [Elecraft] K3 on 6M

If anyone needs the external 6m preamp for an original K3, I have one I would part with for a reasonable price. Tim, AE6LX On Mon, May 24, 2021 at 7:33 AM Linda M wrote: > > __ > Elecraft mailing list > Home:

Good evening folks! I have a K3 with every upgrade available. What are your opinions of such a K3 on 6M? Rx sensitivity is what I’m referring to Thanks and 73 Ron W5SUM Sent from my iPhone __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

[Elecraft] [K3][P3] 6m Preamp and P3 on AUX Pwr

I've seen the postings about providing power from the K3 Aux 12v socket - is there enough to drive the 6m Pre-amp and the P3? 73 de M0XDF, K3 #174, P3 #108 -- Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur,

Re: [Elecraft] [K3][P3] 6m Preamp and P3 on AUX Pwr

Yes. The 12 V aux current should be kept below 500 mA, and the P3+PR6 should be well below this. Wayne N6KR On Aug 21, 2010, at 1:56 AM, David Ferrington, M0XDF wrote: I've seen the postings about providing power from the K3 Aux 12v socket - is there enough to drive the 6m Pre-amp and

Re: [Elecraft] [K3][P3] 6m Preamp and P3 on AUX Pwr

I would think we users are getting to a point where a good, automotive relay designed for continuous duty usage would be a good idea here. Simply use the 12v auxilliary power to feed the coil of the relay and let the contacts of the relay feed power from our 12v supplies. I don't remember the

For that application even Radio Shack has 2. Numbers 275-226 275-218. My local NAPA store also had them in blister packs but I have not checked in awhile. They were a little more in cost than Radio Shack. A relay in this usage is a mechanical current amplifier. 73, Bob K2TK On 8/21/2010

Re: [Elecraft] [K3][P3] 6m Preamp and P3 on AUX Pwr

I went to radio shack and got the relay I needed. I then built a box that will pass 10A to several RCA connectors (I wanted to be able to plug the units plugged into the box into the K3 when portable with a sub set of my goodies). Anyway I then also got a few of the cheapy cores that Radio Shack

I've answered my own question ... No, the three units add up to about 1.2A ... Far too much current for the 12VDC OUT jack to support. 73! Ken - K0PP Would it be safe to add the W2 to this mix? K0PP Yes. The 12 V aux current should be kept below 500 mA, and the P3+PR6 should be

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] K3 6M operation

I will add my voice to the unanimous use a preamp crowd. I also run the PR6 on 6M, and agree it's an excellent preamp. It also integrates seamlessly with the K3, which isn't the case with a third party preamp. More often than not I also run the internal preamp as well. The internal preamp by

[Elecraft] K3 and 6m

I don't know what the problem with others who think that the K3 is hard of hearing on 6m. I have not had any problems working DX with a 5ele yagi up only 24 feet this past summer. Some of the signals were weak but I had no problem picking them out of the noise. I was using the K3 internal pre-amp.

[Elecraft] K3 PR6 6m pre-amp question...

Hi Group, My PR6 pre-amp arrived here today and I've got it connected. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I simply can't get it to work. 12v is taken from the AUX supply. (The 12v is good) The White CTRL lead is connected to pin 11 on ACC On the 6m band I've set CONFIG: DIGOUT1 to ON I've

[Elecraft] K3 and 6m

Being a 6m operator I have a few specific questions: 1. Are the 6m TX and RX circuits diiferent from the HF ones? 2. What is the noise figure on 6? 3. On a K3 with the ATU, does the ATU tunes on 6 or is it bypassed? 4. Is the antenna out different on 6 and HF, the same or configurable? 5. Does the
