Hi Chuck:
The MVDXCC web page is a bit busy... and the link to the newsletter might
be missed by some. The link directly to your article is:
http://www.mvdxcc.org/newsletter/newsletter.PDF
And the article starts on page 6 of the newsletter. GREAT ARTICLE!
THanks.

Our radio Club, Mid-MO ARC (Jefferson City MO), is inviting ALL locals
(and spouses) who are either CW ops or who are currently taking one of
our two CW classes to come over to the home QTH of one of our members to
help us celebrate SKN.
We'll have numerous old/new straight keys on display, a
resistor up against the first and bend/trim its leads to
connect to pins 1 and 10. Solder.
Done

Happy Christmas, all.
What better time than the final hours of Christmas Eve to apply the
mod, recently described by Wayne, that prevents
until it shows you the image of
the component locations on page 164 of the manual. Then look for the blue-
highlighted component (C165), just to the read of X5and to the left-read of
L34.
Similarly, immediately behind header J7.

Hi Randy:
Wayne is aware of reports of this glitch and is attempting to reproduce
it on his K3 so he can properly address the problem.
In my personal experience, if you 'peck' at the [SPOT] button, you'll
usually get only the BEEP, but if you're a bit more 'assertive', (but
not so assertive that
to hear the offset. If
it is zero beat, it'll be hiding behind the sidetone.
I (think I) can provide a short WAV file to demonstrate if you have difficulty
following the above verbal description.

What bothers me, a bit, is that my cooling fans seem to be running a LOT more
frequently, and at higher speeds, than they did several firmware versions ago.
I've mentioned this on the K3 Field Test reflector, but no one has risen to
comment upon my observations.

Control OFF... you no longer have automatic gain 'leveling' and then
are completely
dependent upon MANUALLY controlling the AF GAIN!
However, there IS a setting in the K3 CONFIG menu [AF LIM] which will allow you
to limit the amount of output when you turn the AGC off.
Hope this helps,

Ron:
I've seen one other knob broken... as a result of someone having tightened the
setscrew WAY(!!!) too much! In fact, I rounded off the corners of the little
Allen wrench trying to get the darn thing loose.
Folks (esp. those building their K3s) should be instructed to 'snug' the
setscrews
Rudolf:
Are you clicking on [APPLY] before you exit the K3 Utility program?
APPLY sends the info to the K3... without it, you have only changed
the settings in the Utility and nowhere else.

Hello,
After choosing the filters used for each mode
The K3's T-R line output (KEY OUT) can switch up to 200VDC @ 5A... so it will
easily switch the +120VDC @ 15-30mA from the SB-220.
However, it will NOT SWITCH a NEGATIVE T-R line voltage UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES!
Users with amps which offer a negative T-R line control voltage will have to
provide
Hi Julius:
I'm using #8 in my mobile installation and had to get it down to a more
suitable gauge for the APP connectors.
I made a couple butt-joint connectors from short (1) lengths of brass
'hobby tubing' obtained at the local hardware store. I took a short piece
of the #8 wire with me and
have choked had I
tried to use it on #10 solid copper and possibly on hard-drawn copper, just
Like Tim, KA0OUV, noted. I've not broken any dies... yet! G
