[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

Good Evening,    I woke up to rain hitting the roof.  Then I looked out the window and found dense fog.  It was fog rain condensing from the trees.  The sun came out and it got hot (85F).  Then I heard reports from MI, IA, CA, and TX.  Texas beat California by a few degrees.  However, the

I wanted to add one relay in today’s 20M net: K6WDE, Dave, Utah, KX3, #4599 (thanks NS7P, Phil, for the relay) Also I had a few queries on the net days and times. All the nets meet on Sunday. The 20M net meets at 1800Z on 14.3035 MHz (Eric WB9JNZ Net Control). The 40M net meets at 1900Z on

[Elecraft] searching for K3 Manual with hyperlinked pages in the Table of Contents

Frankly I'm surprised, but the K3 manual available online doesn't have hyperlinks for the page numbers in the TOC. Is there a version available somewhere with hyperlinked page numbers? Usually this is caused by not saving the PDF with the correct options. If there isn't one, then I encourage

Re: [Elecraft] switchbox KX3 to signalink/mike+headphones

It might work to split it into two problems. MFJ makes some boxes to switch microphones and rigs, 2:1, 1:2, and 2:2. Maybe more. https://mfjenterprises.com/products/mfj-1260 There are also simple 2- and 4-channel mixers that would do it. I use a

Re: [Elecraft] switchbox KX3 to signalink/mike+headphones

I made something similar: I wanted to breakout the mic PTT line from my IC9700 to control a sequencer (which was already wired to control preamps, TR relays and amplifier PTT's). I found 8-pin connectors on Amazon that would mate to the IC9700 mic jack, used RG-174 for shielded cable for the

Re: [Elecraft] Stacking K3-line: variation on recent thread

The K3/K3S does not have the extra support that is but into the KAT500. I would not want to stack the KPA500’s weight on top of it. In my case, I built nice wood racks for each of my K3(s)/KPA500/KAT500s. The units sit, from bottom to top in the order: K3, P3, KPA500, KAT500, and K3S, P3,

Re: [Elecraft] switchbox KX3 to signalink/mike+headphones

I tried the toggle switch to switch mic/headset between two rigs. Too much hum pickup on the mic. Gave up,and went to two headsets. YMMV Ken WA8JXM On Sat, Jul 23, 2022 at 9:35 PM Brian Hunt wrote: > Pretty simple home brew project, I would think. Four stereo jacks, a DPDT > switch, a small

Re: [Elecraft] switchbox KX3 to signalink/mike+headphones

I built a switchbox for this a few years ago.  I found 6pdt toggle switch on Mouser (Mouser part number 229-ET610N13-Z).  I used 3 poles for the mic connection including PTT.  I didn't include a capacitor as someone else suggested.  I had been using the signalink cable, which doesn't include a

Re: [Elecraft] switchbox KX3 to signalink/mike+headphones

I built something like that using two 2 pole 4 position wafer switches to switch between 4 radios.  One switch is for the input, and the the other for the audio output.  I also put a 2 pole 2 throw toggle switch in the audio output to switch between phones and a small audio amplifier driving a
