Hi Don,
Thanks for that.
I was not referring specifically to the Elecraft XV series of transverters, as
I have plans to rebuild my home built transverter for 144 MHz. So this was a
general comment for those who want to use external transverters with their KX3,
as I imagine quite a few may
I'll second Davids request. I have some transverters that will take a fair
amount of RF in, like the Spectrum Communications types, but others expect
quite low levels of RF input and, like the other David, I would be bound to
forget to turn the internal ASTU off one day...

As part of my remote setup, I purchased a Brainboxes ES-257 2 Port RS232
ethernet to serial adapter to control a couple of serial port accessories. I
can control the ES-257 and the attached equipment using their Boost.LAN
Manager software over my LAN but cannot get the device configured to accept
What Don said. However most any logging program will do what you want.

Hi Ron and the group
I hope you got your equipment to work on RTTY yesterday but if you didn't I
have been there and done that several times. I didn't see anyone else respond
so I will share some of my experiences.

David,
I have a further thought about the difficulties of using the KX3 with an
external transverter, if we reduce the maximum power output for the XVTR by
using the XV PWR H setting to say a very low value (say the lowest which is 0.1
Watt), then is there a danger that the relative
David,
I don't know about the power control characteristics of the KX3 yet, but
with the K2 without the K60XV option), more steady power control is
achieved in the 2 to 10 watt range as compared to lower power levels.
It all has to do with resolution - the power is set in 0.1 watt
I have been configuring HRD with my KX3 and wondering if anyone else has
done so?
I can get HRD to copy and send PSK31 and RTTY with the KX3 in Data A (rev)
mode. Although I can copy CW, HRD will not key the KX3 for CW
I have tried multiple setting in the KX3 and HRD.
Has anyone been able to
Hi everyone from cold, snowy Michigan.
Yesterday, my K3 suddenly decided to have erratic receive audio. If I have the
audio at the 9 o'clock position and start to turn it counter-clockwise to
lessen the audio, the audio goes to half volume. I then brought up HRD and I
can watch it on the
I'm going to assume that when you say HRD you actually mean DM-780 which
is the program within HRD that is used to send and receive datamodes.
I didn't think that DM-780 would key CW, or at least it did not do this when
I used it. However, it may do so now, but how are you asking DM-780 to
The KX3 can be keyed using the KY command, but I do not think
HRD/DM780 implements that command - few applications do.
The easiest solution is to use the K1EL Winkeyer.
HRD/DM780 can also send CW using a serial port, but that is a different
port than is used for rig control, and you need
AH, it's coming back to me!
Many years ago Simon added the code so that you could use the Kenwood CAT
code to key the radio.
I've also seen the serial port thing done, but that needs either a second
COM port or a special cable to be made up so that the keying to the CW jack
is in the same
What would a contest be if everything always worked like it did the last

I use a minimalist RTTY setup:

Basically, it worked fine, made over 700 Q's. At the urging of

[Sorry for the cross-post; this is a matter involving both the K3 and
Writelog.]
During this weekend's RTTY Roundup, operating SO2V, I had a strange problem
*sometimes* when changing TX focus via Writelog. I would be listening to
both main and sub-receivers with TX focus on Main. If I toggled TX
Here is one thing that will cause a similar problem: If you program a
memory while DATA MD is X, then every time you recall that memory you will
be put back into X, regardless of the DATA MD setting prior to the memory
recall. You might have set the memory years ago when using FSK D and now

In N1MM - Config - Configure Ports, Mode Control, Audi, Other -
Mode Control ... make sure you have set the RTTY mode to *AFSK*
and not *RTTY* if you are using AFSK.
For more information read the very fine N1MM Logger on-line
documentation.

Hello Elecrafters,
Is this filter also useful in SSB in terms of giving more listening comfort? I
like the selectivity of my K3 but still feel the audio of K3 in SSB is fairly
harsh. Hence, I would wonder whether the elecraft AF1 filter will give any
comfort to my ears. I do not know
Hi folks,
Newbie Dave with a KX3 and a brand new pair of Yamaha CM-500 headphones. I need
a PTT switch. I’d like to build one. Is it as easy as wiring a momentary PTT,
using the ACC2 port, the ACC2 I/O ON menu settings and a 1/8” mini jack?
Read both the Elecraft manual and the Fred Cady book,
Dave,
The ACC2 will provide KEYOUT (for keying an amplifier, etc). You need
KEYIN (or PTT).
The PTT input is available on the mic jack.
I made a special adapter for the CM500 using a 3 circuit 3.5mm jack.
The tip and shell connect to the CM500 mic, and the ring and shell
connect to a
Yes, what you describes sounds like what happened to me when I switched
to 80 meters. I did have to click the 'reverse' button on Fldigi to
receive properly. Then when I tried to work stations, I got a lot of
'AGN.' I noticed the bargraph displays on the W2 watt meter kept
flashing. I
One potential problem with the MFJ 4-way switch: It shorts the
unselected positions to ground. If you are using it to switch
between radios, transmitting on an unselected radio results in
transmitting into a short circuit.
I use it, but I try to be _very_ careful.

Remembering the thread about how much current a K3/100 used when
powered off, I decided to run a test as I installed the KPA3 in
K3 #6299. The table below lists power use before (K3/10) and
after (K3/100) 100w amp was installed. A monospaced font will
help legibility.
