Thanks to all who commented on the Macro Programming book. I thought I'd post a little road map on where the various volumes can be found. There are two places the Elecraft books can be found. Elecraft stocks the spiral bound, hard copies of the K3S, KX-Line, the KPA500 and KA500 book, the

Re: [Elecraft] KPOD toggle macros?

Re: [Elecraft] Problem Setting CW Offset to Zero

Hi John, I don't know where you are seeing 50 KHz. The change in VFO when changing from CW to SSB should be what you have set in you CW tone. Try these two exercises. Exercise Examine what happens when switching between CW and SSB with CW WGHT VFO set to NOR and when set to OFS. *

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Receiver mush

http://www.ke7x.com/home/miscellaneous-k3-information/agc-4-51 The transfer characteristic is pretty linear from an input signal of nearly -120 dBm to about -45 dBm with AGC off. Signals above that are being clipped by some other non-linear process, probably the hardware AGC.I don't
