Wow Matt, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I've been off the air since
last Saturday trying to diagnose my problem. I had problems last
Saturday and people were saying my signal was breaking up. I originally
thought there was something wrong with my transceiver or settings. I
carefully traced
Rick Muething reported his team would fix this problem real soon now
in Feb.
Someone decided that having the USB Digital button was a bad idea,
so they removed the option, or broke it.
The solution I use is a workaround. Wait for the end of the first TX,
then change the mode to DATA A. I used
I have a couple of questions for Elecraft and for our UK friends.
My wife and I make 3-4 trips per year to Scotland to visit family in the
Borders and a vacation home in Clackmannanshire. So the new 4M module for
the KX3 is exciting *if* I'm able to operate MM/N7DH on that band. Can

For Full Licence holders the maximum PEP is 160 Watts (22 dBW) and for

I believe Wayne responded that the connectors were not designed for

Hi Dennis
My understanding is that it is your licence conditions that stand. Although if
local conditions restrict then they take precedence
I.e. UK is 144 -146 MHz US is up to 148 MHz but I cannot.
Plus you may have KW limit but in the UK it's 400w
That's why a lot have dual licenses

I have been experimenting with my KAT500 and the KX3. Although I do have a K3
and KPA500 configured with the KAT500 using the switched arrangement described
by the KE7X KX3 book, the K3 is powered off and the KPA500 is in standby mode
during these experiments.

Hi Phil,
I routinely use my KAT500 at the end of a 100' LMR400 cable run with my
IC7200 (my backyard and to go rig) using the TUNE button which has power
fixed at 10W. Actually the measured tune power is more like 8 or 9W. So it's
puzzling that your 10W from KX3 will not activate the tuner. Are

Yes. The connectors are rated for only a very small number of insertion/removal
cycles.

I've had the amp here for just over a week, and installed firmware 1.28

Yes, I believe this is mainly a problem for people with the KXAT100 ATU. If you
don't have the ATU, then from what I've seen it will be unlikely to affect you.

For clarity: every line has loss. Every single line.
What should have been better implied is that coax exhibits a significantly
higher loss per foot than window line; while both have losses. This is well
proven over decades of use.

I've pulled my P3 out of my setup to try and go searching for sources of

I did a whole house shutdown today and made sure that anything which had a

For the purposes of these two bands my house is clean.

I just realized I have an unused DXE RPA-1 which I could put in front of

A reminder: Elecraft warned that the preamp in the P3 is sensitive to
static discharges, so be very careful connecting/disconnecting the P3 to
external antennas.

Jim,
Per a previous recommendation from Elecraft, if you want to connect an
antenna directly to the input of your P3, you should put a pair of
paralleled diodes (in opposite polarity with respect to each other) across
the P3 input jack to protect the P3 from a static discharge.

I am continually astounded to see expensive electronics (particularly in the
CW arena) being offered with PS2 connections for keyboards. The standard has
been dead for about 100 years now, supplanted by USB technology. To ask for
over $300.00 for a decoder/logger/keyer is all fine and good ,but
Good that you're so firm about it. It matters not
