Bill,
I wonder if the Elecraft K3 has the I/O signals to easily implement a
remote head. This is a feature which has been requested in the past and I
think that Elecraft even had a prototype at one time but it died a death -
could be wrong on this last point.I too have hoped for this

Hello gang,
I have a number of blips (birdies) surrounding my VFO A display line on the P3
that faithfully follow it as I tune up and down. They are more visible on 40

Is this normal behavior…to be expected?

While operating last night on 20m on my K3 serial 1391, I had an issue with my

simultaneously dropped out completely in mid sentence. I could see this both on

In cases like that, the first things to check are the external cables -
in your particular case, the PTT.
If you are using the mic jack PTT, try the one on the back panel - if
that cures the problem check your cables again.
The other possibility is that something happened in your

Thanks for the quick recommendation. I will give that a try this morning.

Keith, OK on that. I have had a similar experience;
Clamp ferrites on the mic line are beneficial, about 6 or so(wrap the core
as much as possible, allowing to shut).
# A series rf choke and 0.1uF bypass(to gnd) at the amp end keyline is
beneficial also.
Clamp ferrites also on the keyline help
I am implementing these suggestions. I have a balun design 1:1 current choke
that I plan to put at the entrance of the shack. I loaned it out but just asked
for it back. I will ferrite up the key line to the Quadra amp. I have added
some ferrites to the microphone.
Thanks for the suggestions!
It has become increasingly common to do jack sensing and provide
MIC/LINEIN on the same input. Check your laptop specs to see if it's
offered.
