[Elecraft] K3 6m noise figure

I am trying to calculate my link budget for 50 MHz and was wondering if anyone has measured the K3 noise figure on this band using the K3 alone and not with the PR6. Calculations suggest about 8dB but a measurement would be most welcome. 73 Peter G3SMT

[Elecraft] K3/0 to K3 Remote stopped working

Hi all. I could use some advice. I have spent the last several months building the complete K-Line for my MD summer QTH. I am now preparing to operate via RemoteRig from a K3/0 located remotely. I was hoping for a test run in Sweepstakes this weekend. Everything was working fine, and

Re: [Elecraft] K3 6m noise figure

I'd be interested in the result as well. I can tell you, though in an extremely qualitative and anecdotal manner, that the PR6 makes it possible for me to copy signals that I cannot copy without it -- even in my noisy location. On 11/15/2013 3:50 AM, Peter Torry wrote: I am trying to

[Elecraft] K3 6m noise figure

This was discussed few couple months ago and it prompted me to make measurements on 6m 10m, for both K3 and KX3: Note the measurements were made at 2.8 KHz bandwidth whereas Elecraft specs are for 500-Hz bandwidth (correction factor is 7.5 dB lower for 500-Hz): I use an ARR preamp but specs

Re: [Elecraft] Ham Radio and the Cloud

Seems to me hobbyist computing is just following what ham radio went through with appliance operators. Bit by bit, electronic technology and packaging technology made the average ham rig come with a label non-serviceable parts inside. Maybe what the hobbyist PC world needs to discover is QRP.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 6m noise figure

Hi Peter I measured mine at 13dB about 5 years ago, using a signal generator, so not particularly accurate. I use a homebrew preamp on 6m. 73 Graham On 19:59, Peter Torry wrote: I am trying to calculate my link budget for 50 MHz and was wondering if anyone has measured the K3 noise figure

[Elecraft] RTTY with K3/0

I'm new to RTTY and could use some help. I must use the K3 FSK D capability because I am remote with the K3/0. With MTTY software, I can copy guys fine in NORMAL (not REV) mode. But the other guy sees me as either on the wrong sideband (I'm set for LSB) or reversed. If I hit the REV button on MTTY

[Elecraft] KX3 High RCV Noise - need advice

I began this adventure by upgrading my KX3s Firmware to 1.61 and 1.23. After that I attached my station antenna (which is normally connected to an Icom 7700) to make sure the KX3 worked. From the KX3 I noticed a high amount of noise whilst receiving. A flip of the coax switch connects the same

Re: [Elecraft] RTTY with K3/0

Bob, In FSK mode MMTTY's REV button doesn't change the transmit polarity. Transmit polarity in FSK is controlled by the radio, and the only thing MMTTY's REV button can do in FSK is reverse the receive polarity, which as you noted is the opposite to what you want. To change the transmit

Re: [Elecraft] RTTY with K3/0

Thanks Rich. I tried changing the POL parameter to zero earlier tonite and it seems to work (1 is the default). Afterward, I worked XR0ZR without any problem or complaints (altho the DXpedition is probably not going to comment much!). I'm going to try to work some more guys this weekend to see

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 High RCV Noise - need advice

Rich, Your observation that changing the AGC Threshold is the key to your question. The KX3 has adequate RX gain to hear the antenna noise. The AGC Threshold controls just how much of that noise is perceived by the KX3 as a valid signal and is worthy of being heard as a valid signal. Some

Re: [Elecraft] DTMF codes on the K3

Not yet, Stan, but I understood Wayne to say that this feature could be added in a future K3 firmware upgrade. Like you, I require DTMF tones to access repeaters. Currently I am getting by using a small portable MF tone generator held up close to the microphone, but that arrangement is far from
