Dave - I have a friend with an XV50 & XV144 that I think are excess to his needs. As far as I know they are both in excellent condition, rather than "basket cases, broken, or unloved". If you are willing to consider units like that, I can pass along your interest to him. Dave - K9FN On Mon, Nov

Re: [Elecraft] CW Contest and Elecraft K3s decoder

Under the rules, in the assisted categories, using decoders is legal. It is also legal, but perhaps unwise, to use the spotting network to "read" the call signs. Wiser is to verify a spotted call sign, which is a lot easier than to copy it cold. In the unassisted categories, all these

Re: [Elecraft] CW Contest and Elecraft K3s decoder

Kevin et al; I agree, in fact I'd suppose as the CW speed the number of competent operators decreases proportionally.    Now I'm not saying "contest at 5 WPM" but certainly there are more that can copy 15 WPM than 50 WPM.   Just sayin'..so for us slow folks and old folks...QRS.

Re: [Elecraft] CW Contest and Elecraft K3s decoder

I agree. I can do 30 wpm without getting uncomfortable but I have experienced the "slowing down gets more contacts" phenomenon. Once in field day with a bunch of CW hands who can all copy and send above 40+ wpm. The one rule they had for field day was nobody sent faster that 22-25 wpm. They

Re: [Elecraft] CW Contest and Elecraft K3s decoder

Perhaps my K3 has a problem, but I've never been able to get the CW decoder to work very well.  (Nor the digital modes.)  Fortunately, I've been copying CW the old-fashioned way for some 50 years, and the K3 otherwise works just fine. 73, Scott K9MA On 11/26/2017 19:32, Bill Frantz wrote:

Re: [Elecraft] CW Contest and Elecraft K3s decoder

In previous years, I used the K3's decoder and it worked very well. But, for this contest, I bit the bullet and said, "I'm going to decode the calls myself to improve my CW." I had a lot of fun doing so, although I had to skip several stations that were sending above 30 WPM. A small

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 CW Decode question

Thanks to all. I also confirmed this experimentally. However, even turning decode off on the rig, I still get spurious dropped characters from the utility. It's not a showstopper to me because (a) I'm not looking to bring the computer along on field expeditions, and (b) I'm hoping at some

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 CW Decode question

You must have the KX3 decoding to display text on the PX3. The PX3 doesn't decode. What you shouldn't do is try to display on the PX3 and the KX3 Utility at the same time. Note: To display CW, RTTY or PSK decoded signals on the PX3, you must activate text decoding on the KX3. Make sure

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 CW Decode question

HiYes it applies there as well. When you use software that is reading the decoded CW, it is requesting the characters from the radio. Same thing with the p3 and px3. They end up competing with each other. So if you use software to get the CW, turn off the p3 or px3 decoing. 73 Tom  Sent from

[Elecraft] KX3 CW Decode question

Hi Tom (or anyone else who knows), Does this also hold true for the decode function in the KX3 and the PX3? Should I not run those simultaneously either? Or is it only the interaction between the hardware and the utility program? On Sat, Nov 25, 2017 at 15:17 tomb18 wrote:

I have a similar problem. The gain in the sub-receiver will be low. If I rotate the RF gain control to max, the audio will come back and I can then adjust the RF gain back down. It is almost as if I am kick-starting it. k4ia, Buck K3# 101 Honor Roll 8B DXCC EasyWayHamBooks.com On
