Joe, Your best learning tool will be the KX-Line book by Fred Cady. You can order it from Elecraft - look under PRODUCTS -- BOOKS. If you go through all the instructions and exercises in that book, you can be answering questions instead of asking them. The Firmware and Utilities to download

Hi Joe: Welcome from a fellow Canadian. I’m VE7ZD. You’ll find excellent support and a helpful community on this mailing list. I too have a KX3/PX3 and KXPA100 so I’m working on a similar platform. I was inactive for almost 20 years but became active again just a year ago. What are you

I have just a few criteria, and I’m at the age that it isn’t terribly likely I’d replace my K3 (or K3S) anyway unless the “new” thing were absolutely positively spectacular. Whatever the K4 is, as prime criteria, I don’t want to have to depend on someone else's OS, someone else’s glitchy

Its also important to note that the P3 explicitly provides an IF output to down-converter boxes like LP-PAN and the softrock board. This in turn sirectly supports directly supports any PC-Based s/w like skimmer etc. 73, Eric __

P3 and LP-PAN / PowerSDR-IF each have strengths and weaknesses. You'll need to do some research to see which suits your situation better. I will just briefly mention three clear differences... The most obvious difference is that P3 doesn't require a PC, and is basically plug-and-play. LP-PAN

Re: [Elecraft] NEW TO THE LIST

Another significant difference is that LP-PAN can be used with other third party software like CW Skimmer, or any future application (band activity analysis, propagation studies, etc) that may require an SDR-type front end. There currently is no such capability with the P3, and none has been

For completeness' sake, I should mention that there are significant planned hardware and firmware extensions to the P3. I can't go into the details right now, but suffice to say that it will continue to evolve. The P3 can be considered part of the K3 system -- no computer required. 73,

Hi Bob, The LP-Pan uses a PC for its display. Many operators prefer a stand- alone Panadapter like our new P3, which sits beside the K3 and doesn't require a PC for operation. The P3 is very tightly integrated with the K3 -- basically plug-and- play. It displays the K3's VFO A and B
