I am about to install the KXV60 in my K2 (10W) and need to make the
connector decision. My preference would be the BNC connectors, but would
like to know if there are any considerations beyond personal preference.
Thank you,

Gary,
If I recall correctly, the BNC connectors are on the top lid, the RCAs on
the lower panel. If you use the BNCs, you will have to disconnect them
(unsolder) to completely remove the top cover for service. I think that is
the only real difference.
GL,
Bruce N1RX
I fitted a 4-way connector to the KXV60 to I could unplug the BNC
connectors when I removed the top cover of the K2. I felt that BNC were
more appropriate for RF connections to the XV144, particularly as the
XV144 has BNC also.

I used RCA connectors.
Over the years I've used RCA connectors without issue up through 30 MHz,
which are the frequencies involved in transverter service with the K2.
Sure, there might be a little 'impedance bump' - particularly up on the
higher frequencies - but it's inconsequential in this
What am I doing wrong? I use FSK D and it seems like the default baud rate
is 75 bps when I check the setting in MD DATA. How can I set the K3 up so
45 bps is the default?

Go for the RCAs so you can still remove the top easily. At 28MHz (practically
DC - it is 10m wavelength for goodness-sake) you don't need to worry about
the mismatch for this application.
That is what I did - it looks neat and stops you from confusing them with
the KAT2 BNCs.

Hi
I know Elecrafters love figures, dates and shipping performances..
My P3 kit, ordered October 12, has left Aptos October 13 and has been
delivered this morning by the French Post (30 km west of Paris).
Congrats to Elecraft for this shipping performance !
Thanks also to Susan, Stephanie and
Do you change bands or modes using quick memories or M1-M4?
Maybe you accidentally saved 75 baud in memory, and that's why
it keeps coming back.

That sounds like arcing somewhere Mike (BTW, it's QRN - N - noise instead of
QRM -M for interference from other stations).
It could be a power line insulator. Sometimes a fluorescent bulb dying
sounds like that as the starter keeps re-engaging. I've heard that sort of
thing from some street

I had a nasty noise of s9 plus for a week or so. Finally tracked it down to

noticed it had always been warmer than most of them although it seemed to
work okay. Apparently, it must've gone bad and started generating a

Quite a coincidence.
In 1978 I had horrible RFI that blanketed HF and 2 meters and also
affected TVs and even people's stereo systems. Naturally, my neighbor
asked if it could be my ham radio. At one point I looked out and saw
another guy walking up and down the street with a portable radio,

Hmm this is interesting. I set (saved) all my quick memories long ago
(before the introduction of the 75 baud choice). I just checked all the RTTY
memories and they are now set for 75 baud. I didn't change anything to make
this happen (except upgrade firmware).
K3 #3223 FW 4.12.
Is 75 baud
New K3s all have 45 baud as the default for all memories. K3s that
were built before the associated firmware change may come up at 75
baud, requiring a one-time, per-memory or per-band change back to 45
(using the TEXT DEC switch). If copy is poor, the baud rate is
probably wrong.
Sorry
