Chris,
Many people like the 1.8. I have the 2.1 Inrad combo in my ol' MP.
Pretty narrow to my ears. And I can use the shift width controls to
decrease the bandwidth some more.
I ordered the 2.1 for my K3.
If I need to knock out something, I'm convinced that the DSP filtering
will make it so.
I have the 1.8 and like it - it's not hard to get SSB down to that and
still hear clearly if you adjust it properly.
I always start at 2.8KHz and then bring in the filter. On LSB, start
by adjusting the Hi cut until you've almost got to 1.8KHZ, then adjust
the Lo cut and maybe the high cut
From long experience, including a trip to ZS6 with my K2 wrapped in newspaper
in a plastic carrier bag, just days after 911.
1. keep the radio and/or parts in hand baggage. I have even hand carried a
TenTec Hercules II to Sevierville and back from UK with only one person
asking me to open
I once took what would looked on camera as a hand grenade, same shape, size and
bits of wire coming out of it - actually a motor on a prony brake - thro UK and
USA airports and not challenged. I suggested their equipment might need
attention and was threatened by an armed plain-clothes person

That's it! Now I'm the first time on a business trip since more than 6
month and what happens during the first day of my trip?? Right, my K3 is
delivered! Don't know if I should smile ;-) or cry ;-( hi hi.

Add me to the list of those wanting plenty of sidetone volume. I just
ordered my K3 so I don't know how low it is but I am hearing impaired so
it's important that there is good volume for me. I take my hearing aids off
when using headphones and I turn the volume up to compensate.

Hello all, I'm new to the list. I have a K1 and the 20 meter band has

Just replace the crystal and it should begin working again. After
replacing the crystal, you may need to adjust the CAL OPF setting to
restore correct dial calibration on 20 meters.

Hi folks. I'm finishing a new K2 for a friend. When I tried to perform the 40m
Tx alignment, I instantly get HI Cur and the power drops to zero. This
happens if the output power is set to anything above 0.3 watts. This only
happens on 40 meters. I was able to peak the output on all the other

If it only happens on 40 meters you have some problem with the 40 meter

Look at the schematic for RF Board sheet 3 toward the lower right and
you will see the components associated with the 40/60 meter LPF - check
them all for proper values, correct turns on toroids,

had them question those. I carry several for use with my

Thanks Don! I checked every component in the 40/60m LPF, all caps are the
correct value, both inductors have correct windings, hit all solder points
again. Still have the same problem.

Has anyone ever had their low battery mesage

Where does this message originate from?
I have re-soldered every joint from the power

Is there some menu setting that would make the K2
think there is a battery installed? If it tried to sample
the voltage, it would certainly be low :-)

I'm planning for field day and trying to decided if I should just
assume that the K3 I ordered on January 31 will arrive in time, June 6
to have a couple of weekends to build it (club's hamfest is June 15,
so that weekend is out!). It looks like the pace has picked up a bit,
but I don't think it
Scott,
The K2 does not really know whether the power being supplied to it is
from a battery or not - so read that indication as Power voltage is low.
One of 2 (maybe 3) situations exist with your K2.
1) the power supply voltage seen by your K2 is really too low. Measure
the voltage at the

If your K3 has MCU and DSP levels that are lower than what is currently
available at the Elecraft website, go ahead and load the latest released
firmware. If your K3 already has the levels that are on the website,
yes a new release will be forthcoming in due time.

Taking a rig thru TSA in the states is NOT an issue...I got my K3 in FL
in March and simply put it in my rollaboardthey were more interested
in my camera w/attachments...never asked to see inside the rollaboard,

Do you have the latest firmware loaded? As I recall, there were some

I use the K3 with TRX-Manager and my 4el SteppIR.
The K3 is on COM 13 (an FTDI USB-serial adapter) and the SteppIR is

The SteppIR happily follows my K3 around.
