Re: [Elecraft] LP Bridge crashes with K3

Have you tried adjusting the buffer settings in Device Mgr for your serial port? Larry N8LP Date: Sat, 3 Dec 2016 09:33:33 -0500 From: George Kidder To: 'Elecraft Reflector' Subject: [Elecraft] LP Bridge crashes with K3

[Elecraft] Appropriate Mic for K3 (new)

Greetings - I've had my K3 for 5 years, mostly a CW and digital operator. I've never done much with my microphone - just repurposing an Turner454X crystal mic. I keep wondering if I'd be having more phun with a new 'phone. Without starting a holy war, perhaps a few of you could make a

[Elecraft] [KXPA100] Gone Mental

My KXPA100 won't respond to front panel button pushing when used with FT817 in basic mode.  I can't change antennas or get it to tune when in either AUTO or MAN mode.  When in the Utility it shows no inductors or caps selected.  I've reloaded the firmware 3 times.  Numerous power cycles.  

[Elecraft] K3s most basic problem this morning

Power will not turn on! Nothing. Measured correct voltage at end of power cable. Switched to a different power supply -- same. Manual mentions very little about this? The circuit breaker under antenna 3, marked '20' on back of rig is not in popped-out condition. Rig is under warranty, so I

Re: [Elecraft] Appropriate Mic for K3 (new)

Bruce, You'll get a ton of responses and most will be, "don't spend a lot"; most mics work fine with the K3's EQ. I do agree with Nate. I use a Kenwood 60A (keep preamp off) and do quite well. There are potential issues with RF, but the fix is pretty easy. Because there has been a bad

Re: [Elecraft] Appropriate Mic for K3 (new)

Bruce, If you want to go really cheap, get a "computer" microphone, plug it into the back of the K3, turn on bias, turn the TX EQ two lowest bands down as far as they will go and the third band down 6dB. If you want some high frequency shaping, increase the highest 3 bands a bit. 73, Don

Re: [Elecraft] Appropriate Mic for K3 (new)

I have 2 mics one on an old articulated lamp arm dynamic I bought at a surplus store. It was a cheep knock of of a shure SM58 cost me $4.00 get tons of good audio remarks. just makes me wonder why others need $300 condensers. Second and a popular one on K3 is the Yamaha CM500

Re: [Elecraft] Strange KPA500 problem on 6M

As quoted If the amp works on a dummy load, then look beyond the amp at this time until you have eliminated everything else. Somewhere else you are getting a voltage breakdown that is arcing and tripping off the amp due to high swr. An MFJ analyzer will not show that. Mike va3mw > On Dec

Re: [Elecraft] Appropriate Mic for K3 (new)

For a desk mic I use a Kenwood MC-60A. It has some known issues and I did some work on it to quell some RFI though the best improvement was getting a good ground into the shack. It seems to work well. 73, Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The

[Elecraft] Running KPA500 and KAT500 Remotely Without K3

A friend of mine no longer has a K3, but still uses his KPA500 and KAT500 locally. I recently helped him setup a remote station using a TS-480 and a pair of RemoteRig RRC's. Now he wishes to remote his KPA500 and KAT500 as well, so I am trying to figure out how to do this, as I have no

Re: [Elecraft] Appropriate Mic for K3 (new)

Fun is whatever is fun for you. If a nice looking new microphone is it, go for it! Half a century ago when microphones were still hand-made the more expensive ones were significantly better than the cheap variety. Considerably more labor went into assembling each element, and more elements

Re: [Elecraft] Appropriate Mic for K3 (new)

*Piggybacking on Ron, since I couldn't find the original email. I use a Heil Goldline with H4 and H5 elements, and I have an MH3. I've used both and no one can tell the difference because of the TX EQ. I suspect Don's earlier reply is spot-on as well. You can tailor any modern

Re: [Elecraft] Appropriate Mic for K3 (new)

I hesitate to refer to the common electret microphones as "condenser" mics. While many refer to the electret element microphones as "condenser" microphones, be aware that in the pro-audio world, "condenser" microphones are different - they usually require 48 volt Phantom Voltage. They may be

Re: [Elecraft] Appropriate Mic for K3 (new)

Hi Bruce, As others have noted, almost any mic that isn't "broke" can be made to sound very good with the TXEQ in your K3. Something like 8 years ago, a member of our contest club who is, like me, an audio professional, the Yamaha CM500 boom mic headset and introduced our club to it. I've
