I’m hoping to hear from any Canadian HAMs who have successfully sent their
radio (KX3 in my case) to Elecraft USA for repair and got it back with the
least amount of brokerage hassles.
Which carrier did you use? How did it go?
I ask because I once had to send a Yaesu in for a warranty repair
craft utilities.

It turns out the Mac version of the Elecraft k3 utility has a defect. It does
not write Macros 10-16 to the K3. The windows (eww!) k3 util writes the macros
fine so K-Pod working now as documented.
Now if I could just get diversity receive to work as documented..
Thanks to Doug at Elecraft
No Problem, thanks for putting the time into this. I contacted the MacLoggerDx
tech support and they helped me out pretty quick. Just have to remember to
completely quit the program after making changes to radio prefs. These are the
working parms…

From the options you describe, I think this might be the case.
I have a Heil PL-2T boom with a Heil SM-1 Shock mount with a Heil HM-12 mic.
You’ll also need a cable (use Kenwood config) and some form of PTT if you don’t
use VOX
I will soon have a K3S and I’ve been in the market for a boom mic set for the
shack. This will be my first boom mic. I’ve checked out the Hiel site and could
not find any complete packages. Everything is sold in too many subassemblies.
I’ve tried emailing them but no reply. Our local ham store
I’ve recently discovered that when I try to enable TX compression by tapping
the CMP button I just get “N/A” in the VFO B display. The CMP icon does not
show. I am able to toggle the S meter to CMP/ALC by tapping the MIC/KEY button
no problem.
I do see a + icon show on USB/LSB as i cycle
Hi Stan,
I ordered mine with the roofing filter and no regrets. When its on its like the
radio is a horse with blinders on. Any nearby flailing distractions are removed
from view so the horses brain doesn’t have to process it.
Its not that often I need it but when some other strong signal is
Are there plans to ad FT8 capabilities into the PX3?
Anyone found a way to log FT8 contacts on the Mac version of WSJT-X?
Thanks,

My TS590s and FT817 are sold and I now have my KX3/PX3/KPA100 more or less in
place. Realized I'm missing the convenience of a desk mic so planning to wire
up an adapter for my MC-60. Others have done this? Any issues?

Was using MacLoggerDX for logging phone contacts and now looking for an easy
way to log my digital contacts directly from Fldigi and WSJT to
Has anyone come across any more detail on the KXAT3 (KX3 ATU)? The paragraph
about it in the KX3 manual doesn't explain what the match numbers mean while
tuning?
When it shows things like "10.2-1" in the VFO2 display does this mean the
lowest possible match to the transmitter was 10:1?
No

Hi Wayne,
If we're connecting the random wire and counterpoise directly to the kx2 or Kx3
bnc via the binding post adapter is a 9:1 an improvement or is the tuner able
to drive it directly just the same?

Hi Murphy, your post comes at a good time for me. Thanks for this info. I'm
preparing to take my new KX3 to the Dominican Republic next month for a QRP
deployment on the beach at a resort. I'm planning to do WSPR, JT65, PSK31 and
PHONE. I've not kept up my CW so I'm hoping to try some fldigi
There seems to be a lot of Mac users on this forum. No answers on WSPR forums
so hopefully someone here has overcome this:
Is there anyone here running WSPR on a Mac?
My qrp digital station is a KX3, a Signalink USB, a MacBook (and a CrankIR).
Been able to do all the modes I want (using fldigi
Further to my earlier post I've decided to move forward and go with the
KX3/KXPA100 combo to replace my ft817 AND my Kenwood TS590. The ft817 has
already found its new home and my TS590 will soon be next. Again, it will be
nice to just have one radio for base and QRP on trips.
I priced out
Hello All,
Not an Elecraft owner yet but making plans to be one soon. I’m just starting
the research.
A close friend is all Elecraft and I'm impressed. Even meeting the company
owners and designers at Dayton has me sold on them.
My QRP rig today is an FT817 which I love (I have been known
