Re: [Elecraft] K3 Shipping Box

Hi James, It might be simpler if you are not comfortable packing & shipping gear to let the UPS or FedEx store pack and ship the radio. If they pack it “in house” and there is any damage in shipping they will cover it 100% for whatever you claim its value to be. I normally pack myself but a

[Elecraft] Elecraft KAT500 when powered up generates noise in RX

I searched online but couldn’t find an answer to this. Perhaps someone in the group has a suggestion. When powering up the KAT500 tuner (used with KPA500) the static level on my Icom 7300 raises to as much as 7 S units of a pulsing ignition-like sounding noise. At first I thought it was a

Re: [Elecraft] OT - Neumann vs. Heil Michrophone

Exactly Jim. The internal EQ of most of the current radios will make most mics sound pretty good. No need for the stacks of outboard some guys use. 73, Brian K3USC > On Jul 6, 2016, at 5:34 PM, Jim Brown <j...@audiosystemsgroup.com> wrote: > > On Wed,7/6/2016 6:32 AM, Bri

Re: [Elecraft] A helpful review...

Correct but the little box scores well in Rob Sherwood’s tests (considering its price) and the eHam opinions (reviews) are great. It’s no K3 but looks like a lot of fun to play with. Glad to see one of the big 3 come out with something new at a great price. 73, Brian K3USC > On May 1, 2016,

Re: [Elecraft] K3 EZ

Time for me to throw in a pitch for the Win4K3 Suite. Best 50 buck investment you can make. I started with K3 EZ (free is good) but soon moved to Win4K3 and never looked back. The suite is constantly evolving. No annual update fee. Works with both K3 & KX3. You can put it on unlimited number of

Re: [Elecraft] Stereo Speaker for K3

I’m surprised no-one has mentioned the small Bose powered speakers that have been so popular on the Flex group. As an audiophile I always poo-pooed Bose products in general. Saw them at Sam’s club for under a hundred bucks a couple years ago and figured I’d try ‘em then do a return if I wasn’t

Re: [Elecraft] didn't make myself very clear :(

A great $ 50 investment is a download of Win4K3 which makes all this K3 tweaking a breeze. Tom offers a sample download to try before buying. Works with the KX3 and on multiple computers too. No annual fee either. Buy it once ! 73, Brian K3USC (since 1962) > On Nov 19, 2015, at 9:03 PM, Bob

Re: [Elecraft] K3: Any gain with a new synth?

That’s kind of what I’ve been thinking too, Bill. With my often high noise level suburban location combined with modest wire and vertical antennas I think it would be overkill and not worth the investment. As it is I often joke that the K3 for me like driving a McLaren to the grocery store-way

[Elecraft] Problem connecting KX3 to Win4K3
