Hi Glenn, I did something else for that purpose; I created a small pigs tail with a two pin female connector and a 6.3 mm female stereo connector at the other end for my straight key and plug the paddle in the key connector at the left side. In the setup I set the side connector to normal

Re: [Elecraft] Battery voltage on KX3 seems high...

Mark, this one did work out but the main problem is that less and less people seem to understand that this reflector does not allow HTML, so breaks up any added text mark-up. Use plain unformatted text at all times when answering the reflector and do not even try to send an attachment. All

Re: [Elecraft] P3 waterfall legend?

Hi Gary, The signal you are referring to is a STANAG 4285 military transmission from Turkey. The curly things you see in the spectrum is in fact selective fading in the sent spectrum, which is roughly 10 kHz wide. quote 10.1102 MHz-USB-Izmir, Turkey Turkish Navy - STANAG 4285 unquote from:

Re: [Elecraft] PSK-D Feature request

The problem is the terminology, John. In this case FSK and PSK should have been read as ASCII and Morse code. The translation from ASCII to Varicode to PSK and vice versa as well as ASCII etc first to 5 bit Baudot and then to FSK is done by software in the radio itself, as opposed to software

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 IQ using NaP3

Tried it Bob: Spike still there. No difference with the previous version. I already had it at -110 dBm so not really an issue but using the I/Q cable supplied remains disastrous, you need the galvanic separation. I could create the overload warning in 2.6 but the software kept running. NaP3

Dave, I have a tuner in my K2 (built in 2005 KAT-2) and one in my KX3. they never failed and in most if not all cases I was able to tune various pieces of wire tossed in trees to dipoles, resonant or not. These tuners are very unlike the YaeComWood-tuners you mentioned and do tune vast ranges

And isn't the activation of the VFO isolation amplifier (RX ISOOn) a solution? At least that prevents the VFO signal to exit via the antenna and enter the mains wiring. I have yet to experience this breakthrough. 73, Peter Don Wilhelm schreef: Yes, that is true. You have to choose

Hi Ray and John, KSB2 manual page 22: Note: The BFO settings for LSB and USB are swapped on 15, 12 and 10 meters due to the K2's frequency mixing scheme. If you use 17 m or below for making BFO changes, the following rules apply: LSB: moving the LSB BFO lower in frequency will raise the voice
