[Elecraft] Possible for KPOD to control P3?
Hello all. I just became the proud owner of a KPOD to add to my Elecraft stable. Lots of times, especially when S in contests, I tune my K3S with my P3. Is it possible to configure the KPOD to emulate the "select" control on the P3, and then program one of the Function buttons to emulate "tapping" the "select" button, thereby tuning the radio? Thanks in advance! 73, Ken, KJ9B __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
[Elecraft] Width adjustment of Manual Notch Filter on K3S
Hello. Is it possible to manually adjust anything other than the position of the notch filter on the K3S. I recently was working FT8, when a ham relatively close to me was desensing my receiver when working FT8 on the same band. I was able to notch him out by manually setting the filter, but it seems like a pretty wide notch, especially for FT8, and was wondering if it was possible to adjust the width of the notch. I didn't see anything in the manual regarding adjustment of the width. Thanks and 73, Ken, KJ9B __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] Computer control of message playback on K3S?
Thanks very much for pointing me to the right place, Mike. I also received an off-list reply from Dennis, saying the same thing. I recalled seeing those, but didn't know what I was looking at, I guess. Now I don't have to lean forward to push the button. I'm calling it "ergonomic conservation". That sounds better than "being lazy":-).

Re: [Elecraft] JT-65
Hi Steve, if you're still using DXLabs, you can use MultiPSK, which utilizes the "Commander" module of DXLab Suite. That's what I do, and it works perfectly. No additional hardware needed with the K3S, just the USB interface from the radio to the PC. Only thing to watch out for is to make sure Commander is set to "DATA-U" mode so the audio generated by your PC will be ported to the DATA input on the radio. That has gotten me a few times. Give me a call some time if you need more info. 73, Ken, KJ9B -Original Message- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Steven Stuckey Sent: Saturday, October 15, 2016 9:34 AM To: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] JT-65 I looked in the owners manual and did a search for JT-65 and nothing was found.

[Elecraft] Connecting K3S to PC
New guy here. I'm the same guy that had the problem with the KSYN3A board not checking out in my new build. After an email from Gary, AB7MY, at Elecraft, I removed and reinstalled the board, and it magically worked OK! Anyway, I got to the part in the checkout of the build where I am supposed to connect the radio to my PC to calibrate the Transmitter Gain. After installing theK3 Utility program, I plugged the USB cable in between my PC and the radio. The driver loaded OK, and made the radio COM 6. When I start the K3 utility, it finds COM 6, and starts attempting to communicate with the radio (whether it's turned on or not). The program is cycling through baud rates, but cannot find the radio. What do I need to do? I have rebooted the PC a couple of times and unplugged and replugged the USB cable. Thanks!

Re: [Elecraft] Problem with K3S build
Thanks for the replies, guys. Dick, I double-checked, and the KSYN3A board is installed into the correct slot, and the only external jumper is correctly installed, according to the instructions. Matt, with the unit powered on, the green LED on the is on constant on the board, and the board is fully seated into its receptacle on the RF board. Greg, according to the assembly manual, I am supposed to exit from the configuration menu to get to the synthesizer status. I stepped through the options available in the configuration menu, and did not see anything regarding the status of the synthesizer. I have to work tomorrow, but I'll send an email to Elecraft and see what they have to say.

One additional check might be to check and make sure you have the TCXO installed correctly (I believe it will fit in the holder either way).

Last week I received my K3S/100 (S/N 10270) kit, including KDVR3 recorder, KRX3A second receiver, and .5ppm TCXO. After getting the kit assembled per the assembly manual, I got to the checkout phase prior to installing the 100W amp, and second receiver. The unit powered on as it should, however I got no "ERR PLL" message on the display as it stated I probably would. When I got to the Synthesizer Check, I was able to get into "TECH MD" mode, and turned it "ON". However, I was not able to get to "SYN1" to display in the VFO B area. The bottom part of the display would start with what I assume was supposed to be the time (however it was in the area of 37:20:20??), then as I rotated the VFO B knob, it would step through what I assume was the date, then "0.00", "13.6V", "1.05A", "FP 28C", "PLL1 2.9" (ranging up to "PLL1 3.2"), "PLL2*0.0", "AFV 0", and finally "0.0 dBV". This is all I can get. Of course, with this being a holiday, contacting Elecraft wouldn't work, so I thought I would throw this out here to see if anyone had any ideas as to what might be wrong with my unit.
