[Elecraft] K3S Enable Preamp 2 Without Preamp 1

I have never used my K3S higher than 10m. I imagine that 6m (or 2m like the original poster is using) is a different animal than HF and the higher gain preamp would be useful. John KK9A Jim Brown K9YC wrote: > I have operated from several countries using my K3S and I am never so > fortunate

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Enable Preamp 2 Without Preamp 1

I have recently been using the 6m ARR GaAsFET Preamp ahead of my K3S. I also find that it has lower noise and perhaps more gain. The proof is that I have been able to work moonrise/moonset EME with it (no elevation on my antenna). John WA1EAZ > On Apr 6, 2018, at 11:16 PM, Jim Brown

Re: [Elecraft] Fred's vs Elecraft manuals

Hi Mike, Fred's K3 manual is much more detailed than the Elecraft manual. I rarely use my Elecraft manual. My favorite is the pdf edition which is computer searchable You won't regret your investment! 73 Frank W3LPL - Original Message - From: "Mike Markowski"

Re: [Elecraft] Fred's vs Elecraft manuals

Fred's manuals are more detailed and give more background on how or why you might use a particular control instead of just what it does.  I own his manuals for both the K3 and the KX2 and they were well worth it. Dave On 4/7/2018 11:04 AM, Mike Markowski wrote: Fred and all, Can you

Re: [Elecraft] Fred's vs Elecraft manuals

Fair question.  From my perspective... Elecraft manuals are well written and follow the pattern of all manufacturer's User Manuals.  They are like the "dash one" in the set of Air Force Tech Orders for some piece of equipment ... "How to fly the airplane."  They describe how to configure

Many thanks to everyone who responded! I have a clearer understanding now. It reminds me of my own EE student days. I found learning electronics challenging because our texts started with math and the useful properties of this or that circuit kind of fell out as a side effect or

[Elecraft] K3 Preamp 2

I often see posts from US stations questioning the need for any preamp below 20m and just now challenging the need for preamp 2 on 10m. That may be all well and good in the land of the huge antennas and the thousands of big signals from the US and Europe but let me tell you that down here,

I learn subjects more readily if they keep from diving into the mathematics on page one.  I don't find the math difficult it just distracts me from the broad brush strokes of concepts.  Once I get the idea firmly in my head the mathematics helps me dig deeper. But starting with the math just

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Preamp 2

Hi, Barry, It's not the signals that determine whether you need a preamp, it's the noise level. A receiver should have enough gain to put its internal noise floor below the external, atmospheric noise floor, so that it doesn't become the limiting factor in hearing weak signals close to the
