[Elecraft] Remote a KAT500

KAT500 but unsure of control circuits other than 12vdc power which would be provided over the 9913F coax feed line. The radio is a KX3 driving a modified ALS-600 with 500 - 600 watts to the feed line. Michael Blake - K9JRI

Re: [Elecraft] Remote a KAT500

Thanks Knut. The cable is actually Belden 9913F which is filled much the same as LMR-400 but has a stranded center conductor. I will search for your articles with earnest, It appears from the photos that you only have the PC port connected which should be easy to accomplish. Michael Blake

On my recently acquired K3s (MCU 05.62, FPF 01.26, DSP1 02.88, DSP2 N?A, DVR N/A), Serial number 11501, I have notice a USB audio anomaly that I do not understand nor can I find described in the manual. If you monitor the USB audio output port on the attached computer you will hear, or see on

Re: [Elecraft] K3s Bug or Feature?

nd tap 2, you’ll see t=xxx. This is the level of the output. Setting to zero should solve your problem. Ken K6MR” Thanks Ken! > On Feb 25, 2018, at 11:53 AM, Michael Blake wrote: > > On my recently acquired K3s (MCU 05.62, FPF 01.26, DSP1 02.88, DSP2 N?A, DVR > N/A), Ser

[Elecraft] KIO3B Digital I/O assembly

I am not sure how many of you have noticed the warnings in the K3s and P3 manual to NOT plug a USB B connector into the 8P8C modular jack lableled “RS232/P3” on the rear of the K3s. This is a VERY important warning but only if you read it prior to inserting the USB cable (twice) into the RS232/

Re: [Elecraft] KIO3B Digital I/O assembly

repaired once we got the part in. If the radio is on, sometimes it blows the KIO3B main board, an expensive mistake! One can look into the socket, all the pins should be all the way down and all should be even. Keith WE6R Michael Blake k9...@mac.com <mailto:k9...@icloud.com> >

Re: [Elecraft] K3: CM500 vs. SB40

I do own and use Yamaha CM500 headsets on both my KX3 and my K3s.  The CM500 is a wonderful headset!  When I don't need a mic I also use Bose QC25 noise cancelling headsets. I am also a hearing aid user and both the Bose and Yamaha headsets are large enough to include my BTE hearing aids withi

Re: [Elecraft] Win4K3 suite

Bill, I have used Win4K3 from almost the first version of the product. I use it with my KX3, K3s and KPA500 and sometimes link my Expert Electronics ColibriNANO SDR receiver for use as a panadapter in addition to my P3. I find it very useful when looking at or changing configuration settings on

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 with KX3

Yes Bill, I believe that is correct but I want it to band follow so that the solution will be set to the last correct solution for the current frequency when only receiving. It follows the K3/KPA500 and the the question is “how do I implement this with the KX3? Michael Blake > On

[Elecraft] KX3 - Win4K3

I just spent a few hours configuring and then using Tom's Win4K3 software with my KX3. It is a wonderful tool if you use your KX3 as a home station rig as I do. Thanks Tom for such a quality piece of software for the K3/KX3. Very 73 - Mike - K9JRI _

[Elecraft] RTTY Contest with the KX3 and Win4K3

What a great combination for search and pounce RTTY. Double click the mark Tone (upper tone peak) and go! The KX3's built in RTTY engine worked 100% with no other RTTY programs required. MMTTY and fldigi were available but not necessary. Very 73 - Mike - K9JRI ___

Re: [Elecraft] RTTY Contest with the KX3 and Win4K3

red in the chosen passband and decoding starts immediately. If fldigi is on line and correctly tuned for the correct offset you get the same result. Very nice job Tom, makes a perfect little rig even better :) Very 73 - Mike - K9JRI On Jul 02, 2016, at 07:35 PM, Michael Blake wrote:

On my KX3 tapping the keyer/mic knob toggles the display between power and alc and it stays there. If in the power/SWR display mode changing the mic gain temporarily shows alc but then reverts back to power. Tap the button and it will stay put. Michael Blake - k9jri > On Aug 12, 2016, at

Joe, don’t forget that the “Win4K3” software offers a large screen pan adapter for the KX3 including point and click and other great KX3 stuff. When at home and in need of a pan adapter I use this software. Works quite well. Michael Blake k9...@mac.com <mailto:k9...@icloud.com>
