[Elecraft] PX3 question

Stan, If you position the PX3 to the left of the KX3, the two units can be positioned within 0.5 of each other when using all right-angle plugs, which makes the combined chassis width 13.5. We make a #33-100 KX3 PX3 DC Power Splitter which helps facilitate neat cable management for users

KN1CBR asked: in what way is a Begali (or equivalent) superior to a much cheaper Bencher (or equivalent)? Your subject line belies the true intent of your question, and I agree with you fit and finish are part of the equation. We all choose where to spend our optional money, and balance

[Elecraft] A Comparative Performance Assessment of Aftermarket KX3 Heatsinks

Hi All, I read the report with interest, and thank those involved for reporting what they observed. I will share some observations on my website, I believe it is not a good use of list bandwidth to have two manufacturers discussing each others wares on an Elecraft list. Cheers 73, Howie

[Elecraft] JT/heatsinks

Hi all, Since the subject of both JT modes and heatsinks cropped up recently in the same Elecraft digest, I will share that my JT customers are very happy with the increased frequency stability after installing the PAE-Kx31 heatsink. Several say they can now use JT65 in contests at 10-12

[Elecraft] PA Mode functionality

Hi all, I talked with Wayne at Dayton regarding changing the KX3 PA Mode function to automatically enable when the KXPA100 was attached, and disable when it was not. Maybe just add another menu selection AUTO ? Can anyone think of a downside to doing this? Howie - WA4PSC

[Elecraft] Website down

Hi all, I am in the process of switching ISPs, and thanks to the genuises at the old ISP, the Pro Audio Engineering website will be unavailable for a day or so. You can still get the Kx31 Heatsink Kit through eBay during this period. Thanks for your patience. Howie - WA4PSC

[Elecraft] KX3 Go Box

Hi Ken, list, I've done some pretty serious thermal studies of the KX3 (http://proaudioeng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/PAE-Kx31-chart1.jpg). I looked that the Go Box concept a while ago and agree; The problem with the idea is that the KX3 uses the case back for all it's PA heatsinking.

[Elecraft] P3SVGA windowing

Hi, I really appreciate the higher resolution and detail available using the P3SVGA, but I have no room for a separate monitor in my setup. I have been using the monitor's input switching to see the P3SVGA's display but it is clumsy and slow, and I want to be able to see my logging software

[Elecraft] PC Utility issues

verified that this setup works correctly with the P3 Utility to UL the new P3 firmware and with the K3 Utility, and then made no other changes afterward. I tried a full power-down and PC reboot, trying the KPA powered on first, etc., no joy. Any ideas? Thanks! Howard Hoyt - WA4PSC

[Elecraft] P3

My P3 works well, however sometimes (like right now) it will make little clicking noises as if a relay is turning on and off, and concurrently the display will jump up and down. Is it perhaps gain reduction caused by extremely strong signals in the IF passband? The scale does not change. Is

I too have spurs displayed on my P3. The spurious signals interfering with the usability of the P3 are at ~ -1, -2, -3 and -4 KHz below the tuned center frequency on 160M-10M at S1, S3, S2, and S1 respectively, although more are present lower in frequency at 1KHz spacing at progressively

I have been twisting the KX3's PBT I/II knob madly in an attempt to change BW or CF rapidly, but in reality when I turn it more slowly the function actually changes more rapidly. Two possible explanations are either the encoder pulse rate exceeding the I/O refresh rate, or the speed with

Mike, KW1ND said: Seems to me Elecraft already has a great linear DC supply: It's built into the KPA500. Repackage it as a stand-alone, done. It is too late to add a 13.8VDC aux supply to the KPA-500, and besides, I don't know if it has an internal supply with appreciable current capability

From: Ron D'Eau Clairer...@cobi.biz said: I'm not sure what you mean about the regulator not being quiet. The LM723 is a simple linear I.C.; no switching noise and no acoustical noise. Hi Ron, I was referring to the broadband thermal and shot noise present at the Vout pass transistor drive

Depending on cost, I'd bite, and it would be a nice addition to the K-line. I have picked through several switchers, none of which were dead RF quiet. I ended up defaulting to my Xantrex HPD 30-10 lab supply, which is a hybrid switching front-end/linear tracking output regulator. It is dead
