like the software option is the way to go for now I will look around for
something that will run on my Mac, I think that I should be able to use

Hi guys
Yesterday someone contacted me and pointed out that all the KX3 stands
around were designed to sit the KX3 quite high up to allow the Elecraft
paddle to be fitted. He suggested that not everyone uses the Elecraft
paddle, and of course not everyone uses CW (surely not??!!). For those folk
Now that I have an SVGA for my P3, I'm playing with TEXT DECODE, since it
can display several rows of decoded text.
I'd appreciate help with a macro to quickly turn TEXT DECODE on and off.
I understand that SWH40 will press and hold the CWT/0 button to get into
TEXT DECODE and that SWT40 will
Dave,
I have 200 Hz and 400 Hz filters in my K3. My K3 copies RTTY fine through the
200 Hz filter. That being said, I normally use the 400 Hz filter unless the
band is crammed with signals during a contest. The 200 Hz filter also reduces
a the apparent signal to noise ratio between my ears
The Nifty Stand is perfect for use with or without paddles. I'm a non-CW
op and would not want one any shorter than it is for sure The back of the
KX3 on the nifty stand is not quite 1 1/2 off my table the front almost 2
and the angle is excellent for viewing.

I never thought I'd do this, but I'm selling my Elecraft K1 4-band QRP

I haven't found a command to manipulate text decode. This is why the K3 Utility
terminal page requires you to set up the digital mode or CW.

My first thought on seeing that was If that filter is such a great idea,
wouldn't it be built into the RTTY demodulator to begin with?

Yuma,
My initial design for a KX3 carrying case doesn't provide
suitably-sized space to carry the new KXPA100 amplifier.
I now have a new design that -does- allow a KXPA100 to
be carried in the case, along with a KX3. It's a bit larger
at 11H x 10W x 5.5 D. If you add the side pockets,
they are 8.5D
This may seem like a dumb question. So be it. Exactly how do I hook a larger

Hi George.
I use a KX3 with a KPA500 as my everyday rig.
With the KX3 set for maximum output (12W) into resonant antennas (SWRs
1.5:1) in the CW portions of the band I see from 160W on 20M up to
about 220W on 10M. I don't use SSB often enough to recall, but they in
a similar range.
Thus the
Chris,
You don't have to go to STBY and send a dit for a band change to avoid hot
switching. When the need to bandswitch is detected, the KPA500
automatically goes to BYPASS, performs the band change, and then switches
itself back in line all within a small fraction of a second.

Hi everyone. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
I know I've seen this posted but can't pull it up..
How does one know if your K3 is capable of powering the P3? Is there a
specific serial number or a specific rev level or something?
Thanks.
Larry, KN8N
All K3s are capable of powering the P3 ... however, if you order
the P3SVGA it will come with a modification kit to increase the
current available from the K3 Switched +12V to power the P3SVGA.
See K3MDKIT here:

The K3 will power the P3. Older K3s will need a mod to increase
power output from 1/2 amp to 1 amp if the P3 has a SVGA board.
The mod is included with the SVGA. See http://www.elecraft.com/order_form_parts.htm#K3%20Parts.
It works very well.

Rather than lithium ion I'd use AGM batteries. I had four of them in my motor
home for about 8 years when I was on the road fulltime. They cost about twice
as much as a flooded lead acid but are safe enough to ship by air etc. they
last a long time, and are perfect for a green solution. I

Hi Alan,
I used a Pelican 1610. I think I paid about $170 about 4 or 5 years ago.
It holds the K3 and P3 side by side with a good amount of padding all
