[Elecraft] KPAK3AUX Cable Length

How long is the KPAK3AUX cable? Trying to determine if it's long enough to reach for my desk configuration. Can two cables be plugged together to make it longer to accommodate my setup. Thanks Rich - N5ZC __ Elecraft mailing list

[Elecraft] VOX Delay with CW in SSB

2013-09-14 Thread Jimk8mr
It appears that in CW in SSB mode, the VOX delay is not in use, only full break in. Keying the microphone overrides the CW in SSB, which makes sense. Have I missed something? I want to use CW in SSB with VHF transverters, whose relays don't work so well with full break in. 73 - Jim

Hi Rich, It's 36 long. If that's not long enough you can just get a 15-pin DE15HD cable to extend it. You only need one KPAK3AUX cable in your set up to isolate the K3 ACC signals that shouldn't be connected to the KPA500. Try http://www.winfordeng.com and http://www.cablewholesale.com for

[Elecraft] [K3] Filters for mixed JT65 and JT9 HF

As I understand it, the way the PR6 uses the DIGOUT1 connection (pin 11) and the way the KPA500 uses the same connection are physically incompatible with one another. The solution is apparently to break the connection on pin 11 to the KPA500 - see

Sam's advice is correct ... however, the FM filter is a suitable alternative to the AM filter if you plan to do/try FM on the top end of 10 Meters, 6 meters or install the internal 2 m transverter at some point. Either the FM or AM filters will provide a 4 KHz wide waterfall (200 - 4200 Hz)
