Re: [Elecraft] KIO3B

Existing P3 users who wish to use the USB interface on the KIO3B will also need to order the CBLP3Y 'Y' adapter cable. This new cable plugs into the RJ45 connector on the KIO3B and also into *both* DE9 connectors on the P3. Two related questions: 1. Are there any backward-compatibility

Correct on the RPi2. I did just that with FLDigi on Raspian. Works great and gives me a low power, low cost Digital transcoder for more than just PSK31, RTTY, and CW. The only issue I wrote about in this chain previously is the need for a screen and a keyboard. I did that with a Bluetooth

Hi Gang: I do not have a SideKar, but I do have a Ham Central Terminal, which has a lot of the same features as the SideKar. I also have a NUE-PSK modem. The big feature the HCT (and SideKar) bring to the plate is the logging capability, along with ADIF exporting. The connection to your rig

AFAIK based on reading the SideKar site it's just reporting what the Kline radio is giving it already decoded. $250 is a bit much when you think about what the box does. Seems to me you could build up a RaspberryPi solution to do the same thing with a few tweaks for under $100 AND have

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 ATU Modes

Ron, It will not automatically tune without user action. Tap the ATU TUNE to initiate a tune. Once you have "trained" the antenna on each band segment, it will automatically recall those last used tuning solutions when you return to that band segment. The latter is the "automatic" action.

Re: [Elecraft] Mic gain goes to zero using N1MM

In my case, the Mic gain is normally set to 8-9 (CM500 headset). The anomaly decreases the Mic Gain to zero. I manually reset it to 8-9 which restores SSB power output to normal. I haven’t tried any other actions to restore the Mic gain. All indications I have this is a Mic Gain problem.
