[Elecraft] K3 + preamp for CQ VHF Contest
Mine is not a PR6 but equivalent in NF and gain specs. I re-installed it after replacing the GasFet (mgf-1402) which somehow bit the dust awhile ago. It is installed on the K3 RX IN/OUT same as one does the PR6. I measured increase of my K3 6m MDS from -136 to -145 dBm using my XG3 and 30-dB attenuator. Worked very nice for the VHF contest this weekend. I now have one of my 3-element 6m yagis end-mounted on one leg of my tower at 22-feet and fixed in the direction of the US west coast (120-deg.) from Alaska. I worked six stations in five grids in the Pac NW on Saturday night in a two-hour opening.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft's HexKey
Hi Greg, Unfortunately, no. Elecraft no longer offers it through their business. I was in the same boat a couple of weeks ago, as I wanted a second one; since I now am set up to run remotely. This way, both set of paddles would have the same feel to them I wouldn't have to lug the one set across the country!

[Elecraft] K3 - audio balance and hiss
I have a problem with a weak ear. To circumvent this, I use a Behringer mixer panel, allowing me to control the gain for each ear. The panel also allows additional audio control to tinker with. The output can go to a jack for phones, or to my Behringer speakers - the latter for room filling armchair copy. Having the flexibility of the RX Equalizer and AGC settings, the K3 can be the perfect receiver for nearly everyone. It is all in the settings. All the user has to do is invest some time in experimenting. Just for grins: On 75 meters at 9 AM today, my background noise level is below S1, no ATTenuator or PREamp in use. There is a very minimal hiss when tuned to an unused frequency. Signals really leap out at you. It doesn't get better than this.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Erratic SSB Power Output
Jack, I just sent my K3 (474) off to Elecraft service after wrestling with that same problem. My TX output was suddenly all over the place. The K3 power out bar graph showed 25% lower power than I had dialed up, but good, calibrated external watt meters were showing 40-50% higher power than what I had set on the K3. After reading your post I wonder if a new version of Firm Ware might have caused something to go wack-o. Terry W0FM -Original Message- From: JACK WHITE [mailto:g...@btinternet.com] Sent: Sunday, July 21, 2013 2:12 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] K3 Erratic SSB Power Output Hello K3 Reflector. I have an issue with my new K3/100 #7482. On SSB the peak power output isn't stable. The SSB power output fluctuates about +/- 15% of where it is set, but occasionally spikes to much more. The issue is on all bands but seems worse on 12/10m. I have tested the rig connected straight to a 1kW Bird 50ohm load and have tried 2 different linear power supplies. The problem is present using the two tone test feature, microphone or direct PC audio fed into the rig. The real problem is: I set up my Acom 1000 at the legal limit here (400w) and the power output is all over the place, sometimes 150w, then maybe 500w, then 300w, then all of a sudden the power can spike to 1kW+. I operate mostly CW. Things seem more stable on CW, but compared to my previous Jap rigs (FT1000MP, FT990, TS850) etc, the power output is very difficult to properly regulate. On my previous rigs, I'd set them up to drive the Acom to a certain power level and they'd run for hours rock solid without a peep. I've had an e-mail exchange with a friendly Elecraft Guy which resulted in me redoing the TX Gain calibration, he said the numbers looked good, but the problem persists. I am curious to see if anybody else has this issue and knows of a fix? As it is, the rig isn't much use to me.

Now it is connected to my K3 with the KPAK3AUX (the 15 pole and the Y-cable) cable and the K3 shows messages from the KPA500 if I press OPER/STBY.

[Elecraft] KPA500 efficiency
Hi folks. I'm wondering about the efficiency of the KPA500. Mine, which I assembled a few days ago seems to exchibit 76-78% efficiency on CW. Admittedly I havent tested it on SSB. The HV stands at 57.6V under load with current at 14A. Hence 806W input. Measured output using my LP-100A at 630W. Drive for this 29W on 12m. What class is the amplifier operating in on CW? Does the class depend on mode? I'm using the KPAK3AUX cable. The operating temperature seems to remain close to 50C. 73, Yngvi TF3Y http://www.tf3y.net __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Re: [Elecraft] K3- audio balance and hiss
Mike. Look at the post to the Elecraft reflector by W4TV Joe Subich two days ago. If you want to emulate the audio response of other transceivers, use the RX EQ as he describes and you can have either a 3dB of 6 dB rolloff in audio response. The K3 audio response is quite flat out to 4.2 kHz. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/22/2013 10:50 PM, mikerodgerske5...@yahoo.com wrote: Since it was suggested that this hiss is band noise, I tried it with no coax connected to the K3.
