If anyone needs the external 6m preamp for an original K3, I have one I
would part with for a reasonable price.

I just received the K3 AUX cable for the KPA1500. The manual makes
references to needing K3 MCU 5.93 or later for some of the features. But
the latest MCU available on the Elecraft website is 5.67...I even checked
the FTP for beta versions. Does anyone have any insight on where to obtain

Subject asks the question...will it work by selecting the K3S as the rig?
Has anyone who owns one try this yet?

A few years ago, I was told by the Owner of Chamelon that the CHA

manual of the kit has an SWR plot for various types of radiating
elements that can be used: the
Mine does that too. What works for me is to tweak the mic gain up and then
back to the same level and it starts working normally. Seems to me like
there is a firmware bug with the radio that hasn't been figured out and

Using FT8 with the KX3 is pretty simple. I've used it with both the
standard USB and USB DATA A mode. Hook it up just like any other digital
mode, adjust the volume on the rig and level out on the PC, look at the
meter settings in the software and make contacts.
Don't make it more complicated

Adjusting the AGC threshold and slope on my K3 to my liking made all the
difference for me. I did the same on the KX3 and KX2, as well.

Another example of why having USB-C output on the K4 would be extremely
beneficial. One USB-C cable to the external screen would supply not only
video and power, but could enable touch screen capabilities, allowing the
user to control the rig from the much larger screen if desired. I'm not
sure
Contact Elecraft directly and send a copy of your MARS license. I did MARS
for several years and never had a problem getting the mod apps for Elecraft
gear. They even used my feedback on the frequency ranges to ensure that the
radios were usable on the necessary frequencies.

If the ask of the electrician was to change the 110v outlet to 240v, his
response will be - you can't do that. If the request was to add/pull in a
new 240v circuit, he will be able to do that assuming your existing panel
supports adding the circuit.

If you're just going to use WSJT-X (or JTDX, which is what I use) for

using the split/fake-it option is necessary. Contesting is a different

I just got the K4D up and running. This morning I tuned to the local AM

Is your K2 one with a PA Key out? If so, just an RCA cable and a coax

Mine has worked flawlessly for the year or so that I've had it. I've

Assuming you're using the Elecraft mic with the up/down buttons - turn the
buttons off in the radio settings. There is a known and reported bug in
both the KX3 and KX2 that has never been fixed that causes this problem.
