[Elecraft] K3 Amplifier Drive Inconsistency

I need help solving an amplifier drive inconsistency problem when I operate using digital modes on 50 MHz. I noticed during a recent contest that the K3 will sometimes key the amplifier but provide zero drive. I'm using K3 SN 669 on 50 MHz FT8, FT4 and MSK 144 and driving a KPA1500 to about 750

[Elecraft] Using the KRC2 with the K144XV inside the K3s

I’m using a KRC2 with a K3s to control transverters and a homebrewed band switch system. At present I have limited my drive needs to the 28 Mhz 0dB and all has been well. I’m considering adding transverters that utilize 144 Mhz drive and 0.1 to 1.0 watt drive level supplied by the K144XV

[Elecraft] K3 Digital Voice Recorder Offset

Greetings, I have an older K3 with the digital voice recorder. When I play a digitally recorded message the monitored audio makes it sound like I’m listening to a sideband station that’s tuned a couple hundred cycles high. Others who hear my transmitted signal do not hear this offset. Does

Re: [Elecraft] XV Transverter RF Voltages

I'm not an expert but I have built and aligned a half dozen XVs. Rather than measure the RF voltage, I would recommend going back through the Alignment and Test section of the XV Build/Operation Manual. The DC voltages shown there are much easier to measure accurately. I'm sure you'll be able to

[Elecraft] K144XV Frequency Error

Hi Folks, I need help. I have an early K3 equipped with the K3EXREF Frequency Lock Option, K144XV Two Meter Module and K144XV Reference Oscillator Phase Lock Option. Some time after installing the KSYN3A synthesizers I noticed that the 144 Mhz band has a 5.6 KHz frequency error. Signals

[Elecraft] Future R radio dreamin'

I've been watching this K radio wish list thread and I liked where it went. I too would like to see a new Elecraft KV3 as a technical update to the venerable Yaesu FT-736r. Some features of interest are: - Dual simultaneous receive; switchable among the VHF bands; 50 and 144 as a minimum.

[Elecraft] K3/P3 communication

About 30 days ago I noticed that the K3 randomly keyed up and briefly transmitted full power CW every few seconds while listening. This happened with no action from me. I unplugged the paddle, mic, and headphones. None of these had any effect on this behavior. Tuning the K3 made this uncommanded

[Elecraft] XV Transverter Local Oscillator -- GPSDO?

Hi Guys and Gals, Does anyone know of a mod to the Elecraft XV transverters that provides for 10 Mhz GPS disciplined oscillator control of the transverter local oscillator? I think that would be a popular feature for Elecraft to consider on future versions of XV transverters. It would be
