Re: [Elecraft] K3 Wiki

Yes, and Twiki (if not Wiki) provide security controls for who can view/edit etc, so the owner of a topic can nominate who can edit - which is great for 'official' articles etc. Peer pressure is a wonderful thing and used for a limited site like this, would most likely work quite well enough.

You're right, though since the K3 is modular assembly I doubt if you'll see the kind of questions and answers the true kits generated. As someone with 3 or 4 weeks still to wait for delivery, I was really looking forward to reading the experiences of those who received the initial K3s. That hasn't

The K3 ACC connector appears to provide Band Data and PTT out signals suitable for driving/Controlling the Yaesu Quadra (VL-1000) amplifier. Is it possible to program one of the DIG signal lines (other than DIG0 which is used for FSK input) to work with the Quadra's F-SET output? F-SET is

Ken, I believe those units are already dBm - nothing else makes sense, and there is a missing minus sign on the last one. +81.5 dBm would be a very large signal - 141.3 kilowatts into 50 ohms - minus 81.50 dBm does make sense. If you want a handy tool for dB calculations, you may want to
