Yes, please! Irritating when I've been on speaker and then put on
headphones and blast myself with my own sidetone.
A fixed L-R balance adjustment somewhere in a menu would be great too, for
guys like me who have one weak ear. Can't find a headset that I like that
also has individual volume
H...that would be a huge improvement for all I reckon.
I have always had to be careful when switching from speaker to headphones.
Didn't always turn out too good though.

Mine is not a PR6 but equivalent in NF and gain specs. I
re-installed it after replacing the GasFet (mgf-1402) which somehow
bit the dust awhile ago. It is installed on the K3 RX IN/OUT same as
one does the PR6.
I measured increase of my K3 6m MDS from -136 to -145 dBm using my
XG3 and
Hi Greg,
Unfortunately, no. Elecraft no longer offers it through their business. I was
in the same boat a couple of weeks ago, as I wanted a second one; since I now
am set up to run remotely. This way, both set of paddles would have the same
feel to them I wouldn't have to lug the one set
I have a problem with a weak ear. To circumvent this, I use a Behringer
mixer panel, allowing me to control the gain for each ear. The panel
also allows additional audio control to tinker with. The output can go
to a jack for phones, or to my Behringer speakers - the latter for room
filling
Hi Bill,
I have a weak ear and use a Behringer AMP800 between my K3 and my CM500
headphones. Works great. Around $70 on Amazon.

You can still get the same key, but with a Bencher logo, directly from
Bencher.

Hi Steve,
Adding more memory to the SVGA is simply not feasible. Have you tried
using the scroll-lock key to freeze the display?

Jack,
I just sent my K3 (474) off to Elecraft service after wrestling with that same
problem. My TX output was suddenly all over the place. The K3 power out bar
graph showed 25% lower power than I had dialed up, but good, calibrated
external watt meters were showing 40-50% higher power than
That is correct, but the cost is $325, as compared to HRO's price of $220;
including free shipping.

Yikes ! It is very a nice paddle (I have the Elecraft model) but I am not
sure I would pay $325 for it, $220 sounds ok.
I guess Bencher raised their prices recently .. I am almost afraid to check to
see what they are selling the Mercury paddle for.

The Mercury is going for $525!!!

Another possibility is to get a brass plate from here:

One could get one with the Elecraft logo and your call engraved on it. He must
have permission to use the logo and may
even be able to duplicate the original Elecraft Hexkey one.
Only Ken can
If you are not in a hurry and don't mind a used Bencher BY-1, look around at
hamfests, I got a BY-1 for $60.0 (10 or 12 years ago.maybe more now).It
wasn't (isn't) perfect cosmetically but functions as well as a new one.

Hello List,
I am pleased to announce that the Elecraft KPA 500 #1584 is alive and running
fine.
This morning i collected the package from the customs office. After I arrived
at home I checked all the parts.
Nothing was missing so I started the assembly. After about 5 hours the KPA500
emitted
Thanks for the links and your great web site Don.
I got it all dialed in last night and it's working FB.
Made another CW contact to the East Coast so transmit is working great.
The receive seems as good as my K3 if not better.

I paid around $500 for an N2DAN Long Island Mercury paddle back in the
late 90s at Pacificon, before Bencher acquired the rights.
So, that's not bad, considering inflation.
Wouldn't part with mine. Until I bought a Begali Sculpture, I'd never
had a paddle with such a nice touch.

Hi folks.
I'm wondering about the efficiency of the KPA500.
Mine, which I assembled a few days ago seems to exchibit 76-78% efficiency
on CW. Admittedly I havent tested it on SSB.
The HV stands at 57.6V under load with current at 14A. Hence 806W input.
Measured output using my LP-100A at 630W.
I have one I'd consider selling - the Long Island Mercury. Would consider
offers if anyone is interested. Thanks.

Since it was suggested that this hiss is band noise, I tried it with no coax
connected to the K3. Same result.
This may indeed have something to do with a flat response as suggested. I've
often wondered if other manufacturers roll this high end off. I think it's
somewhere around 3500hz. At
I have found the solution to my problem. First, when the initialize button
is pressed an error message appeared on the bottom of the main window, not
on the configuration window that pops up. It took me a while to see that. I
am using the hamlib option to control the KX3. It seems the com port
Mike.
Look at the post to the Elecraft reflector by W4TV Joe Subich two days
ago. If you want to emulate the audio response of other transceivers,
use the RX EQ as he describes and you can have either a 3dB of 6 dB
rolloff in audio response.
The K3 audio response is quite flat out to 4.2
I used a BY1 mobile for 5 years. It sat on the seat next to me, though
occasionally a fast stop in traffic sent it into the firewall. No idea
why I didn't think to tether it. Try that with a Hexkey! It's still in
daily use in the shack and must be at least 30 years old now. Terrific
key.
