[Elecraft] K3 simple remote for home use

Hi, I would like to be able to use my rig from other rooms in my house. I know how to route audio through Skype and how to use Windows Remote Desktop. I use both DXLab and N1MM logger. However, tuning the rig is usually not greatly done via the logging software and if I want to run some

[Elecraft] New K3 owner, couple of questions (APF vs. DUAL PB, NR under the water sound, KPA3 temp)

Hi, I put together my new K3 without any issues. My 8 and 10 year old daughters helped and they really enjoyed it too. Overall I am very happy with its performance. I do not seem to need PRE on the high bands as much, but I do seem to need ATT on the low bands more... I guess that is by

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - using Clear Speech Speaker

I was planning on getting a K3. Can someone explain to me why so many ops use external DSPs. Is the K3 DSP not working well enough. I would prefer to have everything in a box without many peripherals, as I got these anyway for SO2R, antenna switching etc So, again, how good or bad is the

[Elecraft] Good microphone for K2 and K3

Hi, I got a K2 now and may own a K3 in the near future. My K2 works really well with the Heil Pro Set Dynamic mike (K2 jumpered for it, internal resistor etc.). I am looking for a mike that can be used for both the K2 and K3 together, hooked up to a SO2R box. How do people feel about the Heil

[Elecraft] K2 - Win-Test LUA scripts. Anyone?

Hi, I would like to fine tune my interoperability of the K2 with Win-Test. Does anyone have already a library? Looking specifically (at least) for some simple way to move the RIT up and down by key strokes... I have seen the scripts for the K3, and I am not sure if they can be used as is.

[Elecraft] K2 and SteppIR - SDA 100 Controller frequency jumps around just if VFO A and VFO B are different

Hi, hooked up my K2 + DXLab Suite with the controller (stock Y cable). Everything is working great, except that if the VFOs are different, somehow the controller gets the signal to return all time. I am not even touching the dial, it just constantly switching between the 2 frequencies in the

[Elecraft] K2: Looking for station mike

[Elecraft] W2 and K2, SWR display fine in CW, off in SSB

Hi, My SWR is about 2:1 in CW, but when I switch to SSB on same frequency, my W2 shows wide swings up to 5:1. What could be the issue? Same antenna, same rig, same frequency. RFI? Any ideas, please let me know... Andy KU7T __

Re: [Elecraft] [K2] Displayed frequency question.

Gil and others, I can just recommend to follow Don's article. It has worked very well for me. What has worked best for me was to use the N6KR method to calibrate the reference oscillator (with WWV at 10Mhz). I carried out about 4 iterations for matching the 2 frequencies between TP1 and

[Elecraft] K2: Attempting K2 SSB modulation and ALC mods, but board too old?

Hi, I never used my K2 for SSB, but now I would like too. My 9 year old daughter wants to get on it and I am getting my first yagi, so I do not need to use CW all the time :). My K2 is S/N 2555. I have very inadequate power out and compression really distorts my audio (60 W on 40 with SSBA3,

[Elecraft] K2 SSB audio distorted. Realignment, MIC gain mod etc.

Hi I have SN 2555 and have exclusively used it for CW. Now, I am trying to use it for SSB, but I am getting reports of distortion. Even with SSBA 1 and SSBC 1:1. If I speak really quietly, with microphone about 10 inches away, the distortion is manageable but not fully gone. ALC seems to go a

[Elecraft] Winkeyer sounds soo different than K2

[Elecraft] Adjusting side tone volume
