Well said, Dave. I agree completely and this kind of response is why I
took the K3 plunge. So far I am pleased with both the radio and the
interaction we owners of the Elecraft products recieve from the owners
and staff at Elecraft. Good show, gents.

No way!
Now that I know how to avoid the pops, I will work around them until SS CW
is done and THEN backrev to 4.14. APF is addictive. Even with the
ringiness, it works wonders on the ESP QRP signals on 15m.
Don't need good SSB audio until the 20th. I'm sure Lyle will have it fixed
by then
Since very weak signals (which is what APF is all about) are well below
the level that AGC action starts, when trying to dig out such a weak
station, it may be wise to turn off AGC altogether (provided you have
set the AF limiter beforehand).
It might be wise to ask Wayne and Lyle to
Dear Gang:
I've made some more tests, this time using Lithium-Ion Nanophosphate (A123)
packs from Buddipole. All were done on 20 meters. All voltages are no-load.
I
do not own a precision wattmeter, but a Diamond SX-20C, OHR WM-2, and an
Elecraft W2 using the QRP sensor were all in
Where is the new improved K3 beta firmware (4.18)? I've scoured the
Elecraft ftp site and don't see it anywhere.

Gary,
It has been withdrawn from the website due to bugs.
Stay with 4.14 for the moment.

Delete whatever firmware is in the K3 utility folder then click the button
to check for updates. The utility should then automatically download a copy
of 4.14 from the Elecraft FTP server.

Ignore my last folks. I just caught up on today's posts and see that 4.18
has been recalled. This was unforeseen on my part, sorry.

Wow.
Thanks for all your testing.
I have both the 4S2P and the 3S1P battery packs and love them. They charge
very quick and are suppose to be much more safe to use than regular LiPo
batteries. I once found a video somewhere where someone drove a nail through
a pack and kept on using it without
Today I was finally able to get a real antenna set up to use with my
K2. Signals were coming in nicely on all bands so I decided to try and
make some QSOs. I have an external amplifier which I used with my old
rig, and it's keyed via an external carrier detect switch that sits in-
