I'm contemplating adding a P3 to my K3s and the P3TXMON option seems a
worthwhile addition. I am trying to figure out which directional
coupler to select but can't find much if any information between the

the decision. At the

Wow! I apologize for the problem.

My KPA500 displays the temperature in degrees Centigrade. Just
remember, small numbers cooler, larger numbers hotter. Normal room temp
is about 23 to 25 degrees C. The fan switches on at 50, steps up at 55,
steps up at 60 and steps up at 65.as I recall. The book says

Technically, “Celsius” rather then centigrade!
We are more or less used to Deg C in Canada after about 40 years of using it.
Deg F are still sometimes used though. Older folks understand both while kids
have no idea what a yard or a pound is!

Carl,
It is a six pole filter.
It sounds like you got the 200 Hz filter in lieu of a 400 Hz filter.
I think a call to Elecraft Sales is in order.

I know a number of KPA1500s have been returned to you with one of the
output transistors dead. Is there common source for the problem that
the rest of us can try and avoid?

The "previous" web site used to implicitly say which filters were 5 pole and

I think Elecraft altered their filter array recently ( maybe 1-2 years) and
maybe the order page hasn’t caught up. I believe they discontinued some and
added some 6-pole filters. I think that is what you have.

Steve,
The 200 watt coupler will give more resolution at lower powers.
In other words, the 2000 watt coupler covers the scale from 0 to 2000
watts, and 100 watts is only 1/20th of the way up the scale. With the
200 watt coupler, 100 watts is the halfway point.

I too have the 2000 watt version and I get very usable results even at QRP

I'm avoiding it now! My KPA1500 died for the second time since it
arrived last September. I contacted service last Thursday and, per
request, sent them my configuration information. Nothing has been heard
since.

Thanks for your response. This filter, unlike the others, is exposed and there
are six crystal cans. Does this mean it’s a five-pole? I was sure I ordered
an eight-pole filter? When I do a search on the KFL3C-400 everything I see
indicates it’s an eight-pole filter. Are there two
I have noticed that also. Luckily I remember which filters are 8 pole but
the website really should specify.

I’m assembling a KRX3 second receiver for my K3. One of the filters I’m
installing is a KFL3C-400. When I ordered it, the order form said it was an

understanding that 8-pole filters have no offsets to worry about. Why,

Did you select: MENU:MIC SEL = Line IN and set the Mic Gain

The K3/K3S Mic Gain control is overloaded (used for both mic
gain and Line In)

Dx engineering power supply for the kx3.
Everything works
Is your filter in a metal can. Eight pole filters used to be in a can. Five
pole filters were exposed parts. If the later, count the crystal cans. Should
be 5, 6, or 8.

Your basic set up is correct, DATA mode - AFSK. Do use line in/out.

It would seem that N1MM+ and MMTTY are fighting for the RTTY operation.
Normal RTTY operation is on lower sideband, and that is the default of

sidebands for you.
