[Elecraft] K3 UTILITY QUESTION

2024-01-11 Thread greg best
I had previously used my K3 utility program with my K3 that had the standard analog I/O board module.  I recently upgraded to the KIO3B and now my k3 utility no longer functions.  All the functions on the KIO3B work fine.  What is necessary to get the K3 utility running again? I do not need it

[Elecraft] STATIONMASTER, K3, P3, AND PC INTERCONNECTION

2023-12-17 Thread greg best
I am confused about the connection and communication between my PC and my MicroHam stationmaster (SM), K3, P3 and hope that someone can help clear this up. I just modified my K3 to upgrade it to the KIO3B digital I/O board.  Before upgrading to the KIO3B,  I had used a custom RS232 cable to

[Elecraft] K3 INTERFACE WITH LDG Z100A

2022-09-02 Thread greg best
I have tried to find a cable that goes from my K3 to the LDG Z100A tuner but all I see is just a cable with a Molex like connector going to the tuner and nothing on the other end of the K3 except bare wires (i.e. no connector). Does the tuner have to get connected to the K3 ACC jack?  Or does

2022-08-20 Thread greg best
This may have been answered before but I did not see anything that addressed the question below. Is there a cable available (and where) to interface a K3 and a LDG Z100 plus so that it works essentially automatically like the Icom 7300 does with the LDG tuner?  If not totally automatic,

I had a homemade cable with a 3.5 mm plug on one end which goes to the CAT connection on my stationmaster and a male DB 9 for the RS232 connection for my K3. (I do not have a USB port on my K3).  The cable was not reliable, it broke, is now too short, and I was going to replace it with the

I operated the 160 contest this weekend and I had several unexplainable consistent events. My K3 randomly engages the RIT and adjusts a plus offset of about 25-75 Hz. This was noticed about 15 times or so during the contest and nothing was consistent about it. The plus offset did not appear to

Currently, the K3 VFO A switches to the new band when selecting a new band but VFO B remains on the previous band. I can see where that might be a good thing for certain contests but how do I set the default VFO B switch so that it follows A or so that it also switches to the new band? 73¹s
