Re: [Elecraft] WSJT-X and K3S Tx

Bret, Reduce the soundcard level setting in your computer so you have a greater range of control with the MIC Gain setting. Adjust so you get 4 bars solid with the 5th bar flashing. 7 bars is too much - you are driving into the ALC region. The No ALC point for the K3 and K3S is at the 5th bar.

If you have the KAT3 in the K3, make sure you haven't accidentally changed the output to the SO239 which DOESN'T have the KPA500 attached. Changed by tapping the ANT button. That setting is remembered by band. So if you accidentally tap it, it's moved to the other SO239 on the back of K3, and

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] Quick question about portable vertical antenna

Are you going to use them as raised radials or just lay them on the ground? If you are using them as ground radials, just lay 4-6 25FT (or there abouts) radials on the ground. Ground radials just are not resonant. Or should I say that their apparent resonance changes with what they are laying on.
