Reason for 3: Band selection on the K3 is via a BAND+/BAND- switch or
via the numeric pad memory channel recall if programmed. The KPA500
provides band buttons, and if it is located in front of you, simplified
band changing ... just push the button. If a non-Elecraft radio has

Hi Andy,
I've owned a KPA500 since soon after it's introduction, and am currently
using a KP1500 borrowed from a neighbor who is in Germany for WRTC.
I've never used the ACC cable between K3 and either amp -- the operation
of frequency-sensing circuitry requires no more than a tap on the mic
Marv,
I can recommend the West Mountain COMspkr. This is a pair of speakers
for the stereo effects and dual receive and they are RF proof since they
are shielded.
Not very good for listening to music IMHO (I tried them as computer
speakers), but quite good for communications.

As an avid caver (ham radio got me into caving 50 years ago ... another story)
here are a couple of links to what hams have done underground. The big
drawbacks are cost and hauling the gear. Currently a group is investigating
using the family radios for digipeating.
I use a separate audio amp with unpowered speakers. The amp runs off 12 V and
costs around $ 10. It is a 15 W per channel amp, so it will get loud enough.
I wrote up the details in a blog post:

Suddenly my K3, upon touching the key will power off. When I power on, I can
make a contact or two and then off again. This started with three hours to go
in FD (operating 1D at home). Checking the archives it seemed it was a thermal
problem so I partially disassembled the radio, cleaned out
Afternoon:
I hav3e a hearing deficit and the audio out of the speaker on the KX3 leaves
a bit to be desired when turned up to where I can hear the received signal.
I am looking for a powered speaker for predominately CW reception.
Thanks for letting me poll your experiences.

The problem with relying on RF detection is that the station is configured
after TX starts rather than before TX starts. Perhaps for some owners this is
not an issue. For me it is a significant issue. If the band change requires a
change of antenna then my LP-100A may alarm on SWR before
I use a set of Bose Companion 2 Series III. Not the cheapest but certainly
not the most expensive. Don't forget to consider accurate phase
reproduction - these Bose powered speakers seem to do a very good job of
maintaining the phase relationships of the Elecraft output such that the

Our less-than-formal ham club - The Lupton Downs Amateur Radio Club - was
pleased to obtain our club callsign, W6NAG.
Sounds pretty good on CW too.

My KX3 had a slight accident, which resulted in a scratch on the back of
the heatsink, about 1/8" x 1/3" long. I'm guessing the heatsink costs a
few bucks and I understand the thermal adhesive is tough to remove, so
I'm wondering if anyone knows of a textured paint that will closely

In PA the Amateur Radio plate is $25. Prior to our current administration
taking office, a "regular" vanity plate (of which I have one also) cost the
same $25 but now it costs $80. So being a ham has some benefits. :)

Hi All,
My call (W7AQK) is designated as a vanity call even though it is the original
call assigned to me back in 1955. Under past FCC rules, I had to give it up
when I moved to a different call area. That actually happened twice! The
first time I reacquired this call it cost me nothing!
In Virginia it’s not a vanity plate and only costs one dollar more than regular
plates.
