Re: [Elecraft] Digital on the K3S

George, I have to say all the ARRL QST "video reviews" are terrible. So dumbed down, Bob telling you where the antenna socket is, and that kind of thing. Of no earthly use. I really don't know why they bother, I have never learned a thing from any of them. 73 from David GM4JJJ > On 30 Nov 20

Re: [Elecraft] K3: KFL3C-200 filter

Hi Barry, Tnx for the info. Yes, I do like my 200HZ filters. I have one in each rig. When running split when bands are crowded I can have the VFO A width down to 200HZ. Usually I have VFO B wider. I was trying to find out if the new 200 HZ filters had any advantages over the older 200 HZ filt

Re: [Elecraft] SWR issue with K3

hello talking about SWR issue, I had a issue that took my attention many moths ago but since I can solve it, now just I have the concern to know why this happens Some times i notice high SWR on the K3 (2.4:1) and normal on my LP100 (1.3:1). So i turn on the ATU, adjust SWR on the K3 with ATU TUN

Re: [Elecraft] K3: KFL3C-200 filter

I find the 200Hz filter most useful to knock down adjacent QRM, ie. during crowded contest conditions, not so much dealing with QRN. Try opening up the bandwidth to 500-700Hz when QRN is bad. The brain generally does a better job discerning a weak signal when there is more noise bandwidth, but

Re: [Elecraft] K3: KFL3C-200 filter

AGREE! There's also some serious science behind Eric's observation -- the skirts of filters made with real components cause phase distortion, often described as "ringing." Noise excites that ringing at the frequency of the filter slopes, and confuse the brain when trying to decode CW. The sa

Re: [Elecraft] K3: KFL3C-200 filter

Eric, I agree and open up the bandwidth when there isn't strong adjacent signals, especially with the upper bands. But on Topband I do seem to hear better in the QRN with the filter narrowed down to 200HZ. I do wonder why the difference we both see on Topband with you using a wider setting and I am

Tony I have large beverage arrays in each direction as well as a passive BSEF 8-circle: http://no3m.net/antennas/receive-antennas/ I am planning to add a couple new 8-circles, one in the front and one in the back of the property, 2200 ft center-to-center, that should provide excellent stere

Re: [Elecraft] K3: KFL3C-200 filter

We may also be referring to different types of QRN. I have almost zero local noise, the transmit antenna is usually about S1 midday and on quiet nights, S2-3 at night. Locally generated QRN is generally more even and narrow filtering may be beneficial in that case. Propagated QRN, which is w

[Elecraft] PX3 Firmware Update Question

Hi... I just got my new (used) PX3 and I'm going through the firmware update process. I downloaded the latest Elecraft PX3 Utility (1.15.8.1). It shows I have firmware revision 01.45 installed and that 01.39 is available. What did I miss? 73 & Thanks, Kev K4VD

Re: [Elecraft] PX3 Firmware Update Question

Looking at the FTP site, 1.45 is beta software. 1.39 is the latest production release. If it is working OK, staying with 1.45 should be OK. The file archive was made on July 13th, so it probably is not badly broken. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog)

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 To SB1000 Amplifier

(had to change email subscription to post to reflector. lets see if this one works...) The AL80A uses a 12V 100mA relay coil that is pulled to ground to activate. There is no back-EMF diode in the circuit. The KX3 keying output is simply the open drain of a 2N7002 low-power MOSFET, also with no b

Gotcha! Thanks. So if I want to play with beta software (which I often enjoy doing) I need to check the FTP site. Otherwise, if I stick with production software I should go with the utility. Things seem to be working real nicely so I'll stay where I am at the moment. It's a great little box. Than

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Band data 1 connection to the Yaesu VL1000 query

Tom, It sounds to me like the cable does not include the keying signal to the amp. Try putting a cable from the K3S KEYOUT jack to the amp KEYIN (or whatever it is named) - RCA mono cable - and see if it works. Caution: I know nothing about that amp or the cable - it just "seems to me---".

Re: [Elecraft] K3: KFL3C-200 filter

I think we are talking about different types of QRN. This evening the noise level is way down. My Pennants seem to be quite directive. Of course the W1FV array still does not work. The BOG is hearing quite well but no directivity at 220'. Will try shortening it. I was chatting with AA1K a little wh

The authority on connecting the K3 to the Quadra (Band Data 1) was N0SS. See: http://www.mmccs.com/mmarc/n0ss/k3-to-quadra_pre-wired_din.pdf Check the Array Solutions cable for a connection between pin 10 of the K3 DE15HD plug (key out LP) and pin 2 of the Quadra DIN-8/262 (TX GND). As an a
