Tom,
Triple check C11 and C12 to be certain they are both 1200pF and that you
did not use the 120pF capacitor for one of them.
Build yourself an RF Probe. The schematic for one is shown in the K1
Manual Appendix on Troubleshooting. You can also purchase a kit from
Elecraft.

Tom,
You cite my name in your post, but I have absolutely no idea of what you refer.
I built my K1 serial 175 in November 2000 and I experienced NO problems start
to finish.
Quote the posting to which you refer, including its date.

I wonder sometimes if DXCC has become an oxymoron of magnitude similar
to NTS? When originally conceived, actually contacting 100 "countries"
was a huge endeavor. Even making transoceanic contacts between the
largest of stations was very difficult. Today's world is so very very
different.
Agreed Rick and well said. I occasionally operate W7RN [a west coast
superstation] remotely. Any DX contacts made will not be claimed for
DXCC. The station is close [50 km or so], and it would certainly be
within the letter of the rules, but it doesn't feel right. Fortunately,
this is all

DXCC rules say that you can count a QSO made from any STATION location
(that is, where RF is transmitted and received,) anywhere in the lower
48 states.
It would seem
Totally agree. See my QRZ bio.

I avoid even a hint of impropriety by only counting contacts I make on a KX2,
miles from civilization, without a computer in sight, with cellphone off, and

Hi Rick and all,
Clearly, operating your own home station from a remote location is not a
problem at all, morally or legally. Operating a remote "superstation", even
if domestic, from your home location (or other place) in order to add DXCC
credits to your home call clearly is. So you are saying
Well said Rick.

Checking communications capability with K3 Utility is always a good
first step when you have problems with communications with the K3/K3S

If the Utility can communicate, then you should know to look to your

If it’s a K3S, be sure CONFIG:RS242 is set to USB if you are using the supplied

Knut,
If I recall, the DXCC credit is for the location of the transmitting
station, so if you are operating remotely, it would be the location of
the station you are remoting into, not your control location.

Hi Elecrafters,
His site asks the question "is this legal?" Presumably, as far as FCC is

If I understand correctly what Rich is saying, it could be exemplified like
this: "If you want e.g. a 2.1 kHz bandwidth to receive a digital signal, and
use a 2.1 kHz roofing filter in addition to a DSP setting of 2.1 kHz, you
may find that it won't decode as well as using a 2.8 kHz roofing filter
None of this stops people from spotting them. I think they are a bit
annoyed at some comments made previously.Not to worry let us cheer them

This means one will need large antennas, multiple receivers, legal limit
power and all the computer technology one can muster.

Hi all,
The 3Y0I expedition is now finally under way. I started my search for

I presume that you have set the CONFIG:RS232 parameter to USB ?

Don,
Using the K3 Utility is good advice.
Yesterday for some reason when I had updated WIN10, the one port changed
numbers. And of all the ports I use for both K3's and all the programs and

I often find the second receiver switching to ANT 2, which on my K3 is a dummy
