There is a procedure in the manual under "Calibration Procedures". "Reference Oscillator". Using WWV can get you close enough for most uses. 73 Bill AE6JV On 4/9/17 at 10:05 PM, elecraft@mailman.qth.net (Steve Wilson via Elecraft) wrote: A few of us in Fremont, CA have a weekly 10 meter

[Elecraft] Review of the KXPD3 ker

[Elecraft] K3 slightly off frequency

A few of us in Fremont, CA have a weekly 10 meter net. I have a friend with a K3 who always sounds off frequency. When I use my K3, I've been told that I am off frequency. There are a couple of KX3 users who don't seem to have a problem. When I use my Kenwood TS-590 I seem to be on frequency.

Re: [Elecraft] ICOM Remote Antenna Tuner

Yes, that is correct. Just feed it some RF and if the SWR is above 1.5:1, if memory serves, it starts to find a solution that yields a low SWR. 73, Barry K3NDM -- Original Message -- From: "Harry Yingst via Elecraft" To: "John Pierce"

John, I have used both MFJ 993 and 998 successfully. I have 12v for them and send one coax to them. I don't rely on anything but sending 10 watts via K3, etc., to the tuner and await the OK SWR to reflect on my W2 wattmeter. I currently only have the 998 in service. I prefer the 993 as it

I think some of the misunderstandings on this thread are because the front and rear panel Phones jacks behave differently. Here's the deal: 1) the original poster is using the front panel PHONES jack, and has SPKR+Phones set to NO. This makes the radio behave like most rigs we're used to - i.e.,

Re: [Elecraft] K2 panadapter bandwidth?

I don't believe this is a limitation of the K2. The panadapter bandwidth is limited by the bandwidth of the sound card. By the way, if the sound card's sample rate is 192 kHz, the panadapter bandwidth is actually somewhat less than that, limited by the anti-aliasing filter in the sound card,

Do you have anything connected to the 15 pin accessory jack on the K3? I had the same symptom once last year, and tracked it down to a wiring fault in a homebrew accessory cable. If you do have something connected to that jack, try unplugging it temporarily to see if the power down issue goes
