Thanks all for the replies. With renewed inspiration, I have dug several options out of my junk-box, including some 6" & some 24" heliax jumpers. They are N-type, but I can adapt.
I also found a 8" LMR-400 jumper with BNCs on it, and a few other jumpers. (I have waaaay to much crap around here) 73, Bert BTW, the K3 is a 1500+ serial no. , but has been fully updated at the factory a few months back. Only thing I am missing is the KIO3B and the 4-layer main-board (and have no intent to upgrade those). -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Fred Jensen Sent: Friday, January 15, 2016 8:35 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] 75 ohm cable on Buffered I.F. Output? No. What will matter is the quality of the connectors. The 1st IF output from the K3 is low level, the P3 is basically a fairly sensitive HF receiver, and bad connectors can create all sorts of problems. You didn't give a S/N range for your K3, but there is a simple mod [destroy one surface mount resistor and replace it with a non-SMC resistor] that will raise the IF output. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the Cal QSO Party 1-2 Oct 2016 - www.cqp.org On 1/15/2016 5:15 PM, Bert Rollen wrote: > I am setting up a LP-PAN with my K3. > Will I cause much problem by using a 75 ohm jumper on the IF ?
