New diodes arrived yesterday, thanks to Richard at Elecraft. After
installation and re-calibration of the SWR/wattmeter, everything looks
good, I made two quick contacts on 20m PSK31, one in Greece, the other
in Slovak Republic.
Thanks again Don, Richard, and Elecraft!

That is *INCORRECT*. The Line Out jack is stereo with Main RX on
the tip (left) and Sub RX on the ring (right). You need software

Hello Bill,
Thanks for the tips and I got my downloaded version at US$12.
The user guide was well written and highly readable (Sorry, English is my
second language). However, if someone doesn't want to buy this guide, he may

Dave, ordered the hard copy (spiral bound) with the discount code at lulu.com
and was charged $35.86 total including shipping (but, and I'll whisper at
this point, no VAT was charged). Arrived within 3 days - and is worth every
penny/cent!
YMMV,

Great start and I'll enter my K3 S/N.
What I was actually hoping to find out however, was two things:
1) How many K3s have been shipped to date?
and...
2) To have a ready reference when someone posts one for sale as to its date
of manufacture?
S/N tracking seems to be an issue with just
Andy,
Because Elecraft offers upgrade kits that can be installed, any K3 (or
K2 for that matter) can be brought up to the current level. Your effort
may not reveal true information about the level of any K3.
What that means is that the ship date and serial number is not as
important as it
Good grief for the price even including VAT it's surely a snip and

After I've installed and used the config utility, is there a way to change the

As explained offline to F5VJC, and as stated in my original post, there was

I wrongly assumed that a book was a book, and assumed that lulu was charging

No article, no discussion on any reflector will bring any change in this

No more hard sky like 1956 in my lifetime if that actually plays

The K3 has a per-band/per-antenna DIGOUT1 line on the 15pin AUX connector.
If you use the Elecraft 15-pin AUX cable, DIGOUT1 is tied to the KPA500
inhibit line. So, DIGOUT1=ON means AMP INHIBIT=ON.
For example, if you have a SteppIR (which can be resonant at 40m and up) on
ANT1, you can set
I haven't read W8JI article, but if you are looking to process

You can probably obtain a new gel-cell locally from a battery house that

I am not so sure I really want to see a very active cycle :-)
With the explosive sales of HF gear over the last few years, and a big rise in
activity etc, the bands will get swamped with signals IF we get a good cycle.
You will need every filter you can muster, to pull a readable signal out of

The actual power output will vary from KX1 to KX1 due to care in
building as well as component tolerances.
The power mod is helpful in about 50% of the KX1s with the KXB3080 option.
If you do install the power mod resistors at the start, save the 22 ohm
and 10 ohm reistors until you have
Hi Don,
All of the config files are stored in the User:Library:Application
Support:Elecraft folder on OS X. This cannot be changed. However whenever you
save the K3 configuration (from the Configuration tab) you have the option of
saving the .k3config files anywhere you want.

This may already have been asked and/or answered (so please forgive the
redundant request), but my question is this - is the KXPA100 is expected to be
usable (externally) with a K3-10? I have a K3-10 and would rather use a future
KXPA100 with it for the occasions where higher power is needed
Yes.

We are all learning how to drive the K3, making mistakes and assumptions
as we go along that path. The K3 is a highly configurable transceiver.
Just enjoy the performance with the default settings at first, you will
have a capable and good transceiver. As you determine what it can

While assembling my new K2, I've lost some of the LED backlight
spacers that are broken off of the Spacer Set PC board. Ref. Figure 5-1
on page 23 of the assembly manual.
I don't see where the LED backlight spacers are used, are they? If
so I should order a replacement.
