2021-11-08 Thread Brian Deuby
I'm interested in getting my feet wet in WSJT digital modes, but don't know how to configure my K3, DXLabs Suite and Win4K3 to do this. I've checked the K3 manual, Fred Cady's more detailed K3 book and poked around the DXLabs and Win4K3 sites, but don't see how to get started. Can anyone

James, It is not  likely to be a problem, but check any that are on the bottom.  If they are too high to clear the bottom cover, just bend  them over a bit.  Replace the ones with the cracked bodies. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/8/2021 11:25 AM, JAMES GUNNOE wrote: Good morning everyone. I have

Many instructions for options, such as filters, include directions on how to temporarily remove the second RX. To permanently revive it, you would need the instructions for the second RX installation and reverse it. You would need to find all the odds and ends including the back plate to

Don't straighten them! Back about a hundred years ago when I built my K2 #725, I caused an invisible open circuit failure in one of those capacitors as a result of straightening the leads. It wasn't easy to find. Don't do what I did. 73, Victor, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel CWops #5 Formerly K2VCO

Good morning everyone. I have finished the basic CW version and all my checks and alignments are good. The question I do have is, the capacitors (101) tan in color, have the legs bend in a zigzag pattern. When I tried to straighten them I ended up cracking the ceramic insulation on them. So I
