Re: [Elecraft] P3 question: setting current frequency at center of display

Hi Bill & Gus, Toggling between Fixed Tune and Tracking modes also centers the cursor. Toggling twice brings you back to the mode you were first in. I set up the F4 button to accomplish this toggle. So a quick double press of F4 gets me centered. There was a side benefit. I normally leave my P3

[Elecraft] [P3] Can I?

Span is set at 10. When chasing DX split, is it possible to position the VFO A cursor at the left edge of the display and have the right 5 kHz expanded over the (almost) full screen? In trying to achieve this, I got it so that when in tracking mode the A VFO moves the magenta cursor as well as

Re: [Elecraft] Grounding the Elecraft

Frank, There is a ground screw on each box of the K-Line, use it to hold a ring terminal. The K2/100 also has a grounding screw. With the KX3, you can put a ring terminal under one of the thumbscrews. Which piece of Elecraft gear do you have that is lacking such a screw? The proper answer

I am a firm believer in a good ground for ANY transceiver, but need advice: Where would be the best location (internal OR external ) to install a small bolt for attaching a ground rather than having to us a “clip” attached to a ground. Thanks, Frank Sharit, W6DHN Sent from Mail for Windows

Re: [Elecraft] K3S DSP Filter Plots

In fact I've always calibrated my K3 S-meter to be 5 dB per division both above and below S9. This seems to me to be a consistent way to do it that's easy to read and easy to mentally convert to dBm. And the K3 amazingly consistently sticks to this 5 dB calibration from S1 to 50 dB over. Al

Re: [Elecraft] K3S DSP Filter Plots

Both the P3 and the K3 use S9 = -93 dBm on 2 meters. The P3 can read out in either S units or dBm. And they both treat 6 meters the same as HF: S9 = -73 dBm. Alan N1AL On 11/18/2015 05:18 PM, Greg Troxel wrote: Alan writes: From Wikipedia:

Re: [Elecraft] K3S DSP Filter Plots

With my Down East Microwave transverters, I am able to adjust the IF output of each such that the S meter on the K3S corresponds to 50 uV being equal to S-9 on the VHF or UHF bands. The transverters typically have 10 to 15 dB of gain as measured from input to output in receive. It is nice

Re: [Elecraft] [P3] Can I?

Hi Mike, This really works best in Fixed Tune mode. Just hold the CENTER button and turn the SELECT knob until the VFO-A green cursor is at the far left. It will stay put as long as you don't move VFO-A on the K3. The VFO-B (magenta) cursor (and the split red cursor) will move as you tune the

Re: [Elecraft] K3S DSP Filter Plots

The original S meter development for HF radios was done by Art Collins. At that time the number used was 100 uV for S-9 to coincide with the RST system. Later the value was revised to 50 uV for S-9. Values above S - 9 are stated usually in dB although I've seen some in microvolts. If one

Re: [Elecraft] [P3] Can I?

Of course in fixed-tune mode the screen always displays the same fixed frequency range -- as you tune the K3 VFO, the cursor moves across the screen while the displayed frequency range remains the same. In tracking mode, you can offset VFO A to the left side of the display using the CENTER

Re: [Elecraft] Grounding the Elecraft

There is a threaded bolt or stud on the back of the transceiver. Us it and connect it to the power supply ground. Then the ground on the power supply is the "station ground" point for all other equipment as well. On the K3S it is time #38 marked GROUND. If the piece of equipment does not

Re: [Elecraft] K3S DSP Filter Plots

[Elecraft] K3 Test Mode -> Rear Panel PTT

I noticed that if I put the radio into Test mode, PTT on the front panel does 'mock key the radio' and illuminate the TX light. However, if I ground the TX line into the rear panel in Test mode, it's ignored. I didn't see this in the manual, nor did googling for "elecraft K3 test mode rear PTT"

Re: [Elecraft] [P3] Can I?

Mike, As far as I'm concerned that is a "killer feature" of RUMLogNG. On the P3 control panel clicking the left portion of the VFO A window puts the cursor where you want it. I have come to really miss that control screen if I happen to be using another Logging/Control program. Rick K6LE On

Re: [Elecraft] K3S DSP Filter Plots

I believe there's more than one correct answer. In earlier times, the "Collins Standard" was 6 dB/S-unit and 50 uv = S9. My 75S3 came in at 53 uv for S9, and pretty much held to the 6 dB/S-unit below that. Not so much above S9 With my service monitor feeding my K3, it is exactly 50 uv = S9
