[Elecraft] K3 Digital Voice Recorder Offset

2017-07-17 Thread Bill Schwantes
Greetings, I have an older K3 with the digital voice recorder. When I play a digitally recorded message the monitored audio makes it sound like I’m listening to a sideband station that’s tuned a couple hundred cycles high. Others who hear my transmitted signal do not hear this offset. Does

The power switch pair is not a software controlled option, but a hard-wired circuit that cannot be made configurable. 73, Lyle KK7P (designer of the board) On 7/17/17 3:45 PM, Scott Russell wrote: On Jul 17, 2017, at 3:22 PM, Scott Russell wrote: Would it be possible

To clarify, I fully understand the reason the button combo is needed. I'm only asking if a menu option could be implemented to use the bottom row as an alternative, not replacing the current setting. With people using the KX3 on the desk and not portable it feels more natural to press the lower

That's kinda the idea! It's harder to have the radio accidentally get turned on while hiking up the mountain in the backpack. After all, it's a PORTABLE HF radio. It does however get to be a pain when used on a desk even in the camper. Sent from my iPhone ...nr4c. bill > On Jul 17, 2017,

[Elecraft] [KX3] Power On/Off Feature Request

2017-07-17 Thread Scott Russell
Would it be possible to add a menu feature to change the Power On/Off button combo to buttons on the bottom row, for example PRE+DLY. I find when using the KX3 as a base radio the BAND+ATU TUNER buttons are more difficult to press at the same time as would buttons across the bottom row. Thanks!

Hi Elecraft, and also a "high five" to David - met you on "HAM radio 2017" at QRP project!! Thanks for your time and the nice discussion. Now my very special problem I try to post to the "masses" to explain how to improve transverter work at frequencies from 23cm up to 1.5cm with KX3. Hopefully

I have found certain instances when using a software program to control / communicate with the radio, when closing the software application it may not terminate correctly and thus leave some odd data in the radio or leave the radio in questionable or unknown state. This most often occurs when

I am looking for both the PX3 and the KXPA100 with the tuner installed with all the associated cables. If you are thinking about selling yours please let me know what you are asking. I also have a beautiful ALS-600S w/PS that I would be willing to trade if someone has interest in that.

In my Model S all AM/FM broadcast reception antennas are hidden in the driver-side mirror housing. I suggest you simply make a physically small antenna that can fit under some plastic part of your car. Wayne has a Prius so it is mostly plastic bodywork providing lots of opportunities.

Is the RF gain all the way up (-0)? Preamp ON? Is the CWT cursor blinking with the received CW? Make sure the filter is centered on the PITCH tone (indicated by the *. Use the SPT to tune the signal. Just a few thoughts. Hope it helps. 73, Brian, K0DTJ > On Jul 17, 2017, at 08:38, Tom

Not only FM, Ron. In my car it's for both FM, MW and LW The lines are formed in a strange way, not just horizontal parallel wires but here and there are openings. It works well on all three bands, that is until the last MW and LW transmitters are turned off here in Europe and FM will be left

I have a feeling I've bumble-fingered something on my KX2 configuration for CW decoding. CW decoding is not happening anymore with received signals. Though, oddly, it's working when I touch the paddles. As background, I had installed for test purposes Ham Radio Deluxe Software. After I used it

I, too, have had excellent support from QRPworks with my Ham Central Terminal. The SideKar is a newer product and does a bit more than the HCT, so I'm sure anyone would do well with it. I had used my HCT for Field Day to send QSO info and for logging. 73 de Ray K2ULR KX3 #211

Good morning all, I read all of the latest suggestions, and they were good ones. I got into the menu and determined that the noise blanker was off, as it should have been. The PX3 seems to be working properly now and the main thing that helped was turning on the preamp in the KX3. I use the

One other thing, have you perhaps got the PX3 Noise Blanker switched on and the PX3 NB level turned up high? That causes spikes at the centre. (I am not referring to the KX3 noise blanker) 73 from David GM4JJJ > On 16 Jul 2017, at 23:06, Dave Sublette wrote: > > I have had

Ted, Re:  "I would appreciate hearing from anyone who is willing to share their experience with it." I can't speak to the SideKar, but I can speak to the support the company provides.  I purchased a Ham Central Terminal (HCT, forerunner of the SideKar) from a list member for use with my KX3.
