Re: [Elecraft] K3 Beta 5r10 and LINK

While reading this email thread, I just realized that many people don't know how to operate their K3s! Eliminating the LINK function should not cripple the diversity function, let alone eliminate it. I'm yet to read an example that would convince me about the usefulness of the function. In my

Re: [Elecraft] Further K3 development

My backup radio is a TS-590S, and I wish Kenwood had taken a similar approach as Elecraft to upgrade it into the new TS-590SG. It's really admirable that Elecraft decided not to take advantage of the advancements in technology to generate additional revenue. These guys are really hams and

Re: [Elecraft] K3 DSP processor speed

Wow, so much for a non-kool aid question...You comments give up my friend! I have a K3, KX3 and TS-590. It's well documented that the nr in the K3 is poor and leave a lot to be desired. Also, in an effort to fix it by making it more adjustable, Elecraft overcomplicated its implementation. I love

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] Noise blanker comments

Hi Wayne, Thanks for the nice info on the KX3 NB operation. How does the much lower opposite sideband rejection limits the effectiveness of the KX3 in a competitive environment? I have always imagined that everything is good as long as a strong signal doesn't get closer than 1 khz. Am I

Re: [Elecraft] K3IOB

I agree w/ Peter on this. I also find the price for upgrade outrageous. But, Mr. Schmidt's comment was out of line. 73, Robert-KP4Y/W4 Sent from my iPhone Sent from my iPhone Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 19, 2015, at 8:38 AM, Wes (N7WS) wrote: > > Eric is the moderator

Re: [Elecraft] [PX3] Keyboard, Mouse, Thumb Drive and Knob Support

Joe, I commend you for your ingenuity and experimentation efforts. As a PX3 user, I'm very interested in some of these ideas. The only thing that I hate about the PX3 is the need to tap the "SELECT" button to QSY to the marker frequency. Many times I end up moving the PX3 all over the table

[Elecraft] KRC2 and KX3

Hello, I'm trying to interface a KX3/KXPA with a kRC2 band decorder. Basically, I built a cable to connect the AuxBus pin on the KRC2 XCVR port t the GPIO input on the KX3-KXPA adapter cable, which is driven by KX3 ACC2 port. This doesn't seem to be working and I'm not sure the right setting

Re: [Elecraft] Sherwood's receiver performance table updated

I agree that comparisons between an heterodyne radio and direct-sampling radio is not like comparing apples vs apples. Each of these philosophies/architectures has has advantages and disadvantages at this time, but I'm pretty sure that all future amateur radio transceivers (any radio for that

Guys, Most of us all loyal Elecraft customers that love the company and their products. This type of post provides valuable feedback to Elecraft that will enable them to understand the type of feature that we would like to see in future products. Many of these features are only possible (at

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] end-fed halfwave antennas

Agree...I'm a big fan of EFHW. I have made comparisons between an HFHW with a short radial and 1/4 WL with a few radials and the EFHW beats the 1/4 WL 100% hands down. This is a great example of empirical results speaking louder than theoretical predictions. 73, Robert-KP4Y/W4 Sent from my

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft's source code

Kev, I can't agree more with you, excellent response. I'm also amazed with some of the responses under this thread. I wonder what their reaction would have been if back in the day Yaesu or Kenwood had sold them an hermetically sealed radio to keep them from experimenting with their radio as

Clay, Do have a horse in this race? I believe Mr. Brown can defend himself. I agree with other gentleman that Jim can be very offensive in his responses sometimes. That has been well documented in this forum and others. It's against the spirit of ham radio and you are sanctioning that type of
