Re: [Elecraft] Is it my KX3/antenna or is it lousy band condx?

Mike, I had to smile when I read your message. Our situations are so similar. About a month ago, I came back to radio after a 15 year break. As then, I live in an apartment in downtown Manhattan, four blocks north of the World Trade Center. (The antenna from 1 World Trade looms clearly above.)

[Elecraft] Time Syncronization

2017-09-13 Thread Krug261--- via Elecraft
After 15 years away from radio, I'm back, and want to enter the digital modes. (How things have changed!) There is much opinion that a computer's onboard time system (Win 10 for me) is inadequate for digital, e.g., the WSJT-X user manual. So... 1. Is this a correct assumption in all/most cases?

[Elecraft] PS Comparison: Powerwerz SS-30DV vs. MFJ-4230MVP

Greetings all, I am in the market for a compact power supply. The fact that Elecraft suggests/sells a third-party unit (SS-30DV) provides an automatic sense of comfort. However, always trying to complicate life I was also looking at the  MFJ-4230MVP. Same dimensions, weight, power connections. I

[Elecraft] KX3 - Missing ATU DATA Menu Item

2020-05-23 Thread krug261--- via Elecraft
The KX3 has two antenna memory sets: Set 1 (presumably for Home) and Set 2 (for somewhere else). These are selected by menu item ATU DATA. That feature was added in MCU 2.76 / DSP 1.50, 4-27-2017. I took my KX3 (#9842; up-to-date through MCU 2.90 / DSP 1.52, 12-10-2017) remote and changed to

I don't know how long this has been going on (wow, sounds like a song lyric), but each time WSJT keys up my KX3, the transmit frequency shifts down 500hz. For example, the standard 30m FT8 freq of 10.136 000 shifts down to 10.135 500. The freq shift shows on the KX3 vfo B and the WSJT screen.
