Gary, From a small email exchange I had with Wayne a year ago, the K4 will have all the RemoteRig capability (but more/better/faster) built into the K4 and can use their own software or another K4 as the control side. No outside control boxes needed. I sold all my RemoteRig stuff at that

I had something like that happen with my KPA1500.  The way to fix it is to unplug the amp, and plug it in. This happened to me when we had a SHORT power outage (both my K3s and KPA1500 were on).  The Amps fans went on high and the control head power switch didn't turn it off, even the switch

Yes. When you use diversity you are actually not using the VFO B synthesizer for the second rx. They are both fed from synth A. VFO B remains available for transmitting. I do this all the time. 73, Victor, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel Formerly K2VCO CWops no. 5 http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ . On

[Elecraft] KX-3 Powered speaker suggestions?

I prefer to operate without headphones, but find the audio output from my KX-3 to be too weak to be usable, and the rigs' audio amp is not up to driving an external speaker very well.   I tried both an amplified Motorola speaker and a small MFJ unit, but when using SSB (10-15 Watts) at home

I bought a small, rechargeable Bluetooth speaker with an Aux input jack. I can use it for more than just my KX3 that way. It's relatively small, a little on the weighty side, and the battery lasts a long time. Charges with microUSB fairly quickly. I have not noticed any effect on the speaker from

Re: [Elecraft] KX-3 Powered speaker suggestions?

I didn't notice that much latency, but I did just order a 5.0 model (which has much lower latency than early BT versions) mostly because it might be useful for other things, has a 20-hour battery life, and can operate while charging. If it is high enough to bug you, the Aux cable works fine and

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Diversity RX question

Jim, With BOTH 'Split' and 'Diversity' engaged, you will only be able to listen to VFO-A, although VBO-B WILL be your transmit frequency. In other words, you will be listening to the DX on VFO-A with full benefits of Diversity. However, you can press and hold the "REV" button on the K3 which will
