Re: [Elecraft] Microphone Setup Confusion

The mic bias is +3.3 V on the tip. On the KX3, there is also a logic level DC voltage on the ring. This is not as clean as the mic bias and can cause some noise on mics that short those. You can split out those signals with a TRS plug or a stereo-to-mono splitter. See this blog post (from me)

[Elecraft] Microphone Setup Confusion

Is what Elecraft calls mike “bias” in the K3 and K3s Owners handbooks Equivalent to the “48 volt ghost voltage” required for condenser mikes et al In the broadcast and music industry ? It is mentioned that “mike bias” needs to to be turned on for condenser type mikes But off for dynamic types

[Elecraft] KPA500 Fan Question

"The issue: The fan comes on in a very short time - less than 20 seconds - and the temp display runs up to 50+ degrees. If I start calling CQ or get into a QSO, it doesn’t take long for the temp to show over 60 degrees and the fan is running at max." Max fan speed of a KPA500 is setting 6.

[Elecraft] K3/0

Howdy all, I have a spare K3 that I am considering using it in remote from my second QTH, with much better location to the west.! I guess I need the K3/0 mini remote to make it go so, the question is if anybody out there have one of those systems that due to a change in his configuration
