Re: [Elecraft] K3 MCU LD

Hi guys, New to this list. Been suggested by a fellow ham. I have a K3 that get stuck while trying a firmware/software update. Problem is that seems to be no communication between the PC (WIN7) and the K3 as I get a message of “K3 is not responding”. I use a Serial to USB cable and have been

[Elecraft] Boom mounted Mike for a KX3

I have a Kx3, because I can take it to the field. But most of the time I use it at the home shack. I recently got an amp to use with the KX3, but I am getting tired of using the elecraft hand mike. I have a boom mount for a microphone, but am finding out that the KX3 does not handle a dynamic

You could add on "what options did you order?", since it's not hard to envision an option being held up by a missing components, and X many complete radios delayed while awaiting that option. 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the new Reverse Beacon Network web server at .

Go to the manual and look up how to recover from that condition (Forcing a firmware download). It on page 42 of my old manual under Firmware Updates, the page may have changed in newer manuals. It is easy to do and does not have to  go to a repair facility. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/3/2022 1:37 PM,

Re: [Elecraft] K4 Delivery delay

Technically you did not ask any questions. If I were in your shoes, I too would like some more transparency into things, but I'm not sure "how many people are ahead of me in the queue" is the right question -- I'd guess they build in batches and many delays are less "there are 42 radios ahead of

I'm sorry you had so much trouble with your KWM-380. My experience is quite the opposite. I did send mine to be completely refurbished and calibrated and it is easily the quality of my KWM-2A and more. Techs who work on the KWM-380 are listed on the Collins Collectors Association website. I

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 Issue

Key clicks don't require non-linearity. They are the result of modulating with a signal that has an infinite bandwidth, because of the sharp transitions at leading and trailing edges. That results in infinite side bands. (Actually any signal that communicates information in finite time will
