[Elecraft] First ever receive on 2200 meters with K3

Last night WH2XRR was on 2200 meters WSPR, I copied him all night with my K3 modified for LF receive. This was my first ever receive on the LF 2200 meter Ham band. K3 did a great job. I am using the K3, Signalink, and double size G5RV, with both sides tied together into the K3 receive

Re: [Elecraft] K2 Drifts in Transmit

Ron, Does the displayed frequency change? Is there some drag on the VFO tuning knob? If the knob is "free-wheeling", it can drift from its position easily. It may be that a solder connection in the PLL Reference Oscillator, or the BFO or the VFO has developed some oxidation over the years.

I am looking for a stereo headphone splitter - with a caveat… I need a 3.5 mm (F) to Y 3.5 mm (M) with each connector on the “Y” male. Each male plug needs TRS. I have ordered something from Amazon.com advertised as just that and it turned out that it was a Y adapter for

Hello, Wondering if anyone has the same issue with their K2. K2 is a QRP radio SN 01392. This happened to me two times today. Occasionally when I come down into the shack and turn on the K2 I will tune around for a few minutes looking for anyone calling CQ. When I hear a station I will send

I agree. I just completed making a couple of "pig tails" that exit from the MIC connector on the mike cable, radio end, and they end up with a light touch momentary switch that serves as my PTT switch, hand held. Also use the same cable for my "stomp to talk" switch on the floor. I've also

Thanks for all the suggestions. The reason for wanting them is so I only have to use one set of headphones and CW key between my K3 and KX3. I guess I’m just lazy - I could just disconnect and re-connect depending on what rig I want to use. :) Thanks again. 73, Joel - W4JBB > On Nov 7, 2015,

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] Headphone Splitter - Not The Kind You May Be Thinking

Ah, not a good idea at all. In using a "hard wire" type of Y cable, for your application, you will end up connecting the audio output of the K3 to the audio output of the KX3 through the Y cable.I doubt that one radio will like driving the output stage of another radio and could damage

Sounds as though digital noise is getting into the analog ground. Make sure all connections between the radio and power supply are clean and tight. Also, check the ground between the radio ground terminal and the power supply ground terminal. Has anything been added to the station in terms

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 tuning noise on 12M

This is the internal encoder signal being picked up by the very sensitive receiver. Look up the VFO NR menu option. It should be on page 42 of your KX3 manual. You can turn that ON per-band to reduce the noise. Also see the “Tuning Noise Suppression Modification” app note on this page:

Yes, and yes - but N1MM+ and DXLab Suite use different methods to do this. In DXLab Suite, in the WinWarbler Config window under the CW tab select "Xcvr Ctrl App" as the Keying method. Commander must be running. WinWarbler will direct Commander to use radio control commands to send CW. There

I just figure it's the digital equivalent of dirty capacitor plates in the old, analog days. It's annoying but apparently just the encoding pulses scattering pings into the circuits which find their way to my earbuds. Unlike dirty capacitor plates, I can't see where to blow out the dust.

Hi Once you see the THR screen, issuing an UP or DN or UPB on DNB should do the trick except that it wasn't in the firmware the last I checked. However Wayne did add some firmware commands recently. I'm not sure if these were added. They were to my knowledge, 4 out of 5 missing commands in the
