Re: [Elecraft] K3 - Noise on main RX while tuning second RX - update

Following K3KO's suggestion, I checked the mods on the website, and sure enough, there was one in September 2009 that addressed noise heard on some K3s when tuning. From the description, it did not seem to address noise on the main RX when tuning the sub-RX. Mine does not make noise on the

Guys - thanks for the replies! By now you've probably read my post that I got it all working. As to having the SLUSB, after reading the K3 and KE7X manuals, it just seems that using the external sound card like the SLUSB makes it a little easier. Haven't looked at the iMic, but with the SLUSB,

Jim, Just make sure when adjusting the power your ALC reading on the K3 must show 4 bars of ALC with the 5th bar just flashing. This is counter intuitive based on other rigs but a necessity for the K3. If you are using the line in gain or the TX control on the SLUSB to regulate power you may be

Looks like I misspoke when I said I could leave the K3's PWR set at 90 and adjust the RF output via the SLUSB. Doesn't quite work that way! RF power out stays up in the stratosphere (PSK31 speaking, anyway) so I really do have to set the K3 to about 25-30 watts out on the K3 and adjust the ALC

Hi Jim, No, the KPA500 can not be daisy chained with the K3/P3 serial connection via these RS-232 ports. The KPA500 serial ports are totally independent functions and are -not- daisy chain In/Out ports. One connects directly to your PC for firmware downloads and control via KPA500 utility.

Jim, Due to the way the K3 controls power, you must ignore the many instances in Data software instructions and other sites on the web which tell you to set the power for maximum and use the audio level to control the power. That just will not work for the K3 (or the K2 for that matter). You

The other issue with the SLUSB audio level setting is that if you use a program like DM780 to watch PSK (several conversations at once) then click on one to use, the actual tones used will change. The audio drive at 1KHz will be different than if you select 1.8KHz so the ALC response may (likely
