Have you tried accessing the Device Manager via Control Panel to check
whether a port is being assigned when the USB cable is connected to the PC
and the K3?

strator", then follow any prompts.
Be aware that Windows 10 has a nasty habit of hiding prompts behind other
things, so it's best to make sure you have no other apps running, that could
cover any prompts.
Plug in your USB cable and you should be good to go.

in the device, Windows should recognise it and link it to the
driver.
Why go to Radio Shack for a cable. Surely it's better to give Elecraft the
business by ordering one direct from them?

Absolutely sure, Bill.
This happened once before with our club's K3 and it was definitely the
issue.
Today on my own K3, I was in QSO and I simply muffled the rear panel
microphone with my hand and the issue went away. The monitor was set at
zero.

mic plugged in?
As both microphones are electrets, the only way I can think of getting round it
temporarily is to turn the bias off on the rear panel mic, when using the front
panel mic, which is inconvenient and not a ‘clean’ solution.

to use the (converted) Astatic with my K3, I wonder if this
value seems sensible to maintain the correct bias and prevent max bias current
going over 10mA?

them in the UK, also
Mouser, so I’ve ordered a new cable from Digi-Key.
The Elecraft distributors in the UK have the KPAK3AUX kit, but they won’t sell
just the cable on its own, so you end up paying for parts you don’t need.

I realise that I would need a cable with all pins connected, then snip out the
pins that should not be connected. I would happily buy another KPAK3AUX cable
from Elecraft, but for an item which is readily available in the UK, it’s not
really economical.

Hi,
So i
Can someone tell me what the difference is between the KX3VA and the KX3VB
modules.
Has an upgrade kit been made available to convert the ‘A’ to the ‘B’ and do I
need it for my K3?

I'll now print your dimensions for my archive and get drilling. :-)
Many thanks again.

Also, by delving inside your rig, you will learn a lot about "how it ticks".

better device. I don’t really want to start campaigning to purchase an external
speaker for the K3 because it’s another ‘lump’ that needs to be carted around
to club meetings and events.
Thoughts?
