I am interested in buying used K3. Anyone would like to sell?
Please email me your offer with price and list of modules to

Hi Elecrafters,
I recently installed the K144XV and was only getting 6 Watts out, I
had oerformed the 1 mW calibration.
To measure the power out of the KXV3A I attached an Elecraft 20 W
dummy load and TDS220 scope.
The power out measured 480 uW (440 mV p-p). To measure the power out I
used the

Perhaps the extra weight to which the shaft encoders that are subject to

No, no - you send him your K3 s/n and that is what is engraved on the knob.
At that price (which is not unreasonable for short-run machining and
finishing, by the way) you would want theft protection.

This was one of the major selling points that made my decision to buy the K3
The K3 is rapidly becoming the IF radio of choice for microwavers
because of its small-size/light-weight and superior weak-signal CW performance.
My K3 has now been received in BC by VE7BDQ on 502.4 KHz using the
WSPR
I agree with Claude.
The Beating a horse to death and then Beating it for dying, certainly
has rendered the Elecraft list pretty useless.
It's just too many messages to weed through looking for something
meaningful.
Even filtering becomes useless.
It's a shame because some guys post real useful

Amen to those thoughts... This reflector has too many messages totally
unrelated to Elecraft products. I don't care if your old radio had certain
features or the constant whining and griping.

I'd say the usual cautions apply. Load it if it has new features or fixes
that you need or want to play with, otherwise it's probably not necessary.
I'm mostly interested in a particular bug but I might also try to play with
some of the newer features at some point. I'm just a regular customer

The K3 already provides BCD band data that will drive a band decoder

one antenna per band.
If not, will it provide output for

It is the radio that provides the band information. The K3 itself provides four
bits of BCD data on the AUX IO connector which can be used for switching an

data from the K3 and provides drive outputs for all

From what I see in the manual, if a switch is in the direction of the
resistors, then the resistors selected by that switch are causing their
attenuation. Thus if all switches are away from the resistors, there is no
attenuation.
If the switches are above the resistors, and the BNC connectors
