YahŠ it sucks. I knew when I moved to an apartment that staying on HF was
going to be a challenge, but I was not prepared for the breaker issue. I
found that with my kx3 and a wonderwand wonder loop on my kitchen table,
that with 10 watts I can do some jt65 and wspr on 20m without popping the
I recall reading something in an ARRL publication or newsletter that at
least one manufacturer of AFCI breakers has addressed and corrected the
problem of RF susceptibility. That company is Eaton.
It is a bummer that consumers must suffer from products that do not have
sufficient RF
Does anyone have K3/0 they want to part with? I'm stuck in apartment, I've
tried everything from wires to magnetic loops. My problem is not getting
out, its AFCI breakers. Any rf out and they pop (including the apartments
around me.)
So if anyone has one they want to part with, let me know

Greetings,
We had some questions whether the new SideKar for the KX3 will fit on the
KX3 with the GEMS Side KX panels installed.
The answer is YES. The Side KX panels do not have to be removed.
I posted a few pics in the Yahoo user group photo albums with the SideKar
mounted along with the
I admit to not having the quietest of locations, but when I'm listening on
6-meter CW or SSB with the KX3, my ears cannot tell if the PX3 is on or
off.

Hi,
Sorry, I don't have a K3/0, but your problem certainly caught my interest. I
had never heard of AFCI breakers before, but a quick Google search got me
quickly reeducated and my eyes glazed over. Wow, these RF prone devices have
been mandatory since 1999! Another federal mandate to protect
I hope to not live in an apartment that long :)

Today I put the old Bird wattmeter in line and found that the average power out
of the K3 does *indeed* drop down and become somewhat erratic in fsk441 mode.
As noted previously the PEP output stays the same although my watt meter shows
some erratic behavior.
So my wattmeter is telling the
Would there be any support for a P3 option to display the VFO cursors in
the waterfall area? The WF is mainly what I watch, I can see signals
there that I'd never find in the spectrum display [and sometimes can't
hear either :-)]. Admittedly mainly in contests, I will find a trace in
the WF

I'm running an older borrowed K3 to get various I/O issues worked out while
awaiting arrival of my K3S. I am interfacing the K3 into an older tube amp
with large open frame relays for antenna IN and OUT. The maximum TX DELAY
limit of 20 ms on the borrowed K3 is not enough to avoid hot
I've been wanting to pick one of these up for a while, but didn't have the
means.
Have seen several of these listed for sale lately, but had to wait for a bonus
check.
Just curious if anyone has one they're wanting to sell before I order straight
from Elecraft.

While transmitting, my K3 developed a high level noise. During SSB with the
mic level set at 25, there's 30 watts output power. It sounds like digital
noise. It stops when the mic level is set to zero. There no microphone
connected and I just down loaded the latest firmware but that didn't
I'd suggest calling support on Mon AM.

Expecting a transceiver to somehow neutralize all amp obsolescence is
putting the burden where it doesn't belong. And it really can't come
close to doing the entire job.
Existing mod kits from Harbach, W7RY, etc, can convert many older amps
internally (all the way back to SB200 SB220) to
Usually this kind of thing is external to the K3, very often
mechanical. Often happens when something external is rearranged.
Remove *everything* connected to the K3 except the power and a dummy
load. Make sure the power voltage is normal. See what you get then. If
you still have noise, put an AC
Sounds like a great idea. That would be a great aid for teaching on the GOTA

Hola,
I was scheduled to operate my K3 as a remote for the WPX contest.
Problems with VPN at remote site delayed that setup. As contest time
approached, I decided to deploy my Buddipole out the apartment window
and was gonna play around with 100w and dipole config.on 15m.
However, I could not
Tom,
Since you receive white noise, before you dive into
the K3, consider that there is an item that is common
to all three antenna inputs. - The BNC connector
and coax to the BudiPole.
Try another independent antenna into the antenna
input you have active. Just a few feet of wire as an
