Re: [Elecraft] Switching or sharing the ACC/AUX line between KPA500 and KPA1500

Although you may use a different combination of ACC signals than me, FWIW I routinely parallel multiple sets of accessories off my ACC connector. When I'm operating remotely, I have two band decoders, a RemoteRig box, and a KPA500 connected. No switch, no problem. If you're using circuits I'm not

Roger, That statement does not make a lot of sense - explanation below: With the K3 (and K3S, KX3 and KX2), there are no specific CW and SSB filters - as there is with the K2. The DSP filter bandwidth is set with the WIDTH/SHIFT (or HI CUT.LO CUT) knobs and any roofing filters will switch in

Roger, I assume you are using AFSK A data sub-mode. Check the data submode to be certain. Do you have anything other than the soundcard audio lines, the RS-232 computer connection, the DC power cable, the wattmeter and antenna (or better yet a dummy load) connected to the K3? If so remove

[Elecraft] Switching or sharing the ACC/AUX line between KPA500 and KPA1500

In preparation for the arrival of my KPA1500 I was wondering if a simple two-port VGA switch would be the best approach for switching the ACC/AUX line to allow the selection of the KPA500 or the KPA1500. Or is a simple Y cable ok? Pin 10 PTT would be open ahead of the switch or Y cable to allow

I'm trying to get my system set up for RTTY. I think I have the cabling OK. Using MTTY I can decode signals fine but when I try to transmit, I get no power out. The MTTY program keys the VOX and I have 5 bars of ALC but nil on the wattmeter! Help! 73, Roger N1RJ

Re: [Elecraft] California Fires

I don't live in California but I have driven all through the area. Elecraft is located near the coast north of Monterrey and south of Santa Cruz. This is as I recall very roughly 50-100 miles south of San Francisco and a couple hundred miles north of Los Angeles. Most of the fires are either

Elecraft is on the Monterey coast (generally speaking) near what (in the business of firefighting) is known as the asbestos forest (it burns so rarely but when it does... wow!). They're as safe as they can be for any business.  The staff homes on the other hand... Rick nhc On 10/10/2017

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Digest, Vol 162, Issue 8

All, Dave is correct, but the point where the negative lead is connected should be near the battery, not in the cabin where there may be unexpected resistances because of adjoining body panels. If you are diligent about bonding the various panels together, then you can connect the radio

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Digest, Vol 162, Issue 8

Hi. I haven’t seen "Kent's instructions", but running the radio -ve power lead direct to the battery when the radio also has a "Ground" at the antenna, could result in the destruction of the radio and/or antenna cable, if the battery ground strap to the vehicle frame goes bad.    That is not so
