I had a problem like that. I shut off all power to my house at the circuit
breakers. I ran my radio on batteries and noticed the noise went away.
By turning on the breakers one at a time the culprit was found. It was the
switching power supply for the cable TV.

Bill you are not alone as a MAC user and I am NOT going to purchase a WIN 10
box to do any work for ham radio.
I have used the utility on my MacBookAir for the KX3 utility and love it.

Downloaded the latest utility for the Mac (Latest OSX, Macbook Pro I7 w/16gigs)
and convinced the Mac that I really did want to open this file. I selected the
USB com port and my radio immediately went
A followup to my original post:
I started VMWare and ran WIN8.1 and insetalled the latest Utility. No problems
with the old K3.
Now to test the K3s…..
With Win *.1 on Mac, both radios are normal.
Something is not right in my Mac Utility setup.

Hello W7HD,
I often see a noisy wave go across my P3 (with K3); however, I've never
seen it oscillator slowly but
I'll look more closely. The source of this noise is not in my
house.but could be a neighbor's.
You noted that your noise level drops to S1 when that source is not
there?
I have a Elecraft 1800hz, Model 711-L, SSB filter and would like to trade
it for a Elecraft 2100hz SSB filter. Please advise if anyone would like
to make the trade.

We're going to try a firmware fix for this. Hopefully, a computer that's
connected but turned off won't key the rig unintentionally, even with PTT or
KEY in use from the port. I'll let you know.

Hi John,
You'll need a KBPF3A (or a modified KBPF3), which has a filter for this RF
range. You'll also need a KXV3 (any type), because you have to the low-level
transmit signal from the XVTR OUT jack, not from the main antenna jack. (The
main antenna path has a pretty steep high-pass response

Consider the FTDI driver as a program and part of the computer.
If CONFIG:PTT-KEY is *not* OFF-OFF in the K3, then you have to exert
knowledgeable control over the DTR/RTS states from the computer.
Otherwise, turn them off so you don't get surprised.
If PTT-KEY *is* OFF-OFF in the K3, then those
I use my K3 with a Mac and use it with both the Elecraft Mac utility and
Windows apps without problem. I'm using an FTDI-based USB Serial converter
with it. The first thing I would check is the type of USB Serial cable
you're using: There have been many fake Prolific cables sold over the
years
To all that replied.
A club member (my local Mac guy) suggested getting the latest FTDI driver,
which I did from Elecraft website link.
I did change CONFIG/PTT settings to OFF-OFF. All ok. Tried starting Utility
in SSB and CW mode with no errors.
Reset CONFIG/PTT to RTS-DTR, all still ok.
Correct, the driver did it. Apple provides a driver for FTDI-based USB-serial
devices. That driver unconditionally asserts DTR and ignores attempts by
applications to turn DTR off. When you install the FTDI-provided driver, it
takes precedence over the Apple driver and behaves more responsibly.
Make sure that the K3 CONFIG:PTT-KEY is set to OFF-OFF. This is to
make sure that miscellaneous, not on purpose, states of DTR and RTS in
the serial connection are not controlling the transmit and keying
state of the K3.
I'm not qualified to discuss how to turn off DTR and RTS on a Mac from

This is Keith Robinson W4KTR

The radio goes into TX when the computer is turned off. This is of course

cwskimmer settings allows up to 196khz.
I have seen it decode way more than 48k.
With the subreciever tap you did for me, I have had separate cwskimmer

station on another band.
I use win4k3 for the main control and

The KXPA100 sounds like a great way to place the heat outside of the KX3.
One of the main reasons I purchased, built and worked though my mistakes
building the HobbyPCB Hardrock 50 amp with the support of Jim WA2EUJ.
I am able to drive the amp with .5 to 1w so as to avoid any large temp
changes
Could everyone give the weight of the entire kit?
Step on scale with and without the kit. That will give sufficient accuracy
for me.
Thanks

Hi Jon,
I'm sure you'll get some responses to this question. In my case I have a
3-pound bag ready to go at all times that includes:
- the KX3 with internal ATU, KXPD3 keyer paddle, 2-meter module, and MH2 mic
- 8 NiMH batteries inside the case and 8 spares
- two 25' lengths of #26 insulated
I noticed this as well. Does anyone know why Elecraft has stopped
selling them? I was looking to put one in my sub-rx.
(Sorry I can't help you with your request, Dan)

This filter was my secret weapon when the going got tough-- especially
on 160/80/40 M during contests. Wonder if it will make a comeback.
The 250 Hz filter is really something like 350 Hz and really too wide at
times.
