Hello,

The XP SP3 thread has changed into a Linux discussion. I think is pretty
neat! I have been running Linux in my shack for about 10 yrs. You can see an

remind me what relevance computer operating systems has to do with Elecraft

small adaptations using my old 70 yo memory

No, I completely disagree with that opinion! To my knowledge Elecraft
designs, builds, and sells some pretty decent ham radio electronic
equipment, none of which REQUIRES a computer to operate. The moderator

Hi John,
This should get you going:
MENU Set ups for the older Heil versions of the MH3 with dynamic mic
elements:
- MENU: MIC BTN = PTT (not PTT up dn)
- MENU: MIC BIAS = OFF
Wiring:
On KX3, use a 1/8 (3.5mm) plug. Don't worry about the 2nd ring on the
picture shown in the KX3 Owner's
I think is try one of two ideas.
1 amazon has available a 3 or 4 foot cable that has a rt angle TRRS plug on
one end and a straight TRRS plug on the other. Cut one end off and connect the
cable to an XLR 4 pin plug to plug into mic.
2 use above TRRS cable and just cut off the rt angle plug
Linux had AFSK support in the kernel a decade ago. Modern versions use
a user space program, for this.

Yes, it can be good enough for contesting. I ran one CW Sprint with it and
it was adequate. I had to run low power because the amp wasn't yet
accessible remotely (It is now.) and I was single-radio. So my 218 Qs is
hard to compare to the 280-310 that I would have expected locally, high

Hi Brian,
I can't really comment to the K3/0, but I can tell you when running a K3 as
both the remote and control rigs, there is not a problem at all.

all ops from there!

Am I supposed to be able to set any arbitrary power level between 0 and

That's been my experience too, Dave. SSB is not my forte ... severely

Many of us use computers for a wide variety of purposes in the shack.
Some use them for logging, some for rig control.
Some of us operate almost exclusively keyboard-to-keyboard modes (don't

Without using a computer, I'm QRT.

Yes, the XP computers, and even Win98 and Win2k computers will still
work just fine - just make sure they are isolated from an internet
connection and you can continue to use all the applications that you are
used to. For a dedicated shack computer using dedicated ham
applications,
I see that Microsoft will continue to issue updates to MS Security Essentials,
my AV of choice, for another year. I'm pretty sure other AV companies aren't
dropping support. IMNSHO, there is no need to get our keyer cords in a twist
over MS announcing end of life for XP(the best Windows yet).
Hello Dave,
I did have the same experience with 1.8Khz filter in the past. However, upon
the guidance of my contest elmer, I played around the IF shift. By moving the
centre position of the IF passband, you will find a sweet spot where you can
hear the speech with minimal degrade but
I’ve done all that. On some voices, distortion is minimal. On others, it is
serious.
