[Elecraft] K3 Shipping Costs to Australia

For all you guys in the US, I have listed below the alternative shipping costs for my K3 order which I'll place soon. I live in South Australia. US Postal Priority Mail International = $131 US Postal Priority Mail International = $164 UPS Worldwide Expedited = $372 UPS Worldwide Express = $410

[Elecraft] K3: Choosing which filters to buy

1. I plan to configure my K3 with the following filters - Stock 2.7KHz KBF3 General Coverage RX Filter Module AM 6KHz FM 12KHz CW 400Hz 8 pole (uncertain about this filter) Not having much CW experience and my current radio only using a 2.7KHz wide filter for CW (Rx only), I'm not sure which

K3 only has the 2.7 kHz and the 400 Hz filters so far. 73 de Joseph Durnal NE3R On Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 9:05 AM, Shane White [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 1. I plan to configure my K3 with the following filters - Stock 2.7KHz KBF3 General Coverage RX Filter Module AM 6KHz FM 12KHz CW 400Hz

Re: [Elecraft] K3 IF Design

Thanks Bill. It's amazing to learn where Icom and Yaesu place their priorities. I suppose they have chosen a different compromise between style and substance than Elecraft. Icom and Yaesu's brochures and radios are adorable though. Shane. -- View this message in context:

[Elecraft] K3 IF Design

When considering the differences between the K3 and IC-7800/7700/756PRO3 or FTDX-9000/2000, apart from the K3's lack of band-scope, numerous large knobs and colour screens, the other thing that stands out is the selection of the 1st IF frequency. Most other radios use a VHF 1st IF (typically

I think that's an unreasonable statement Joe. Please have another read of my initial post. I didn't make any such assumption, I merely questioned the relative cost and performance of some radios. No 73's for you. Shane. Joe Stofko-2 wrote: Hi Dave, Right you are! Actually,

[Elecraft] The K3 in comprison to the Big Guns

That's it, I'm going to ask the silly question. How can the K3's receiver outperform that of the Icom IC-7800 and Yaesu FTDX9000? These two radios cost in excess of $11,000 and weigh in at over 25Kg (55lbs)! The K3 costs about $2000 and weighs about 4Kg (8.5lbs). Yes the K3 is deficient of a

[Elecraft] AGC Design of the K3

I noticed a remedy for the following problem on the K3 enhancement list - Some users prefer tuning the band with a wide filter bandwidth selected (for example, using a 2.7 or 2.8 kHz SSB filter in CW mode rather than a 500 Hz or narrower filter). Strong off-frequency signals (above about S9+5)

Re: [Elecraft] AGC Design of the K3

Wayne, I don't understand the concept of variable passband filters. Surely the K3 will just choose a filter based on the current operating frequency, and that filter will be used over a range of frequencies. How are these new filters you describe different? wayne burdick wrote: 3. Later
