Re: [Elecraft] K3/K3S Options & Upgrades
Robie Not sure that Larry K6ro still has one but a while back he had a krx3 available on eBay. As with all the upgrades to the k3 and/or K3s, none are inexpensive and ultimately you need to weight the value add to an existing system versus acquiring a new and more contemporary radio.

Paul, Thanks for the feedback. I'm concerned about the availability as well and that's why I posted the question.

Re: [Elecraft] K3/K3S Options & Upgrades
Robie I gave up waiting for the sub receiver info to be updated as I suspect based on absolutely no information that the krx3a will be MIA due to parts availability. I ended up transplanting one from a k3 into a K3s and getting the Ksyn3a from K6ro. YMMV….

[Elecraft] K3/K3S Options & Upgrades
I see the Elecraft webpage is urging us to place orders for the last run of K3/K3S options & upgrades. As of today the webpage states they are still waiting on info from suppliers for the KRX3A sub receiver. When might we expect to be able to order the KRX3A?

[Elecraft] KAT500 remote control questions.
I'm using the KAT500 remote software to control the tuner remotely. The only issue I have is it will not stay in "Manual" mode and switches to "Auto" when the software starts up on the remote. It looks like it switches to Auto at other times also, not sure about that yet. Is there any way to cause the KAT500 Remote software, in host mode, to start in "Manual" mode? I have the software start when the computer boots, along with RCForb server and RemAud. The radio is a Kenwood TS-590sg, but that should not matter. I have tried it with a K3, no difference.

Re: [Elecraft] Front end RF overload
John, KK9A is absolutely correct: without external bandpass filters, the replacement of PIN diodes in the T/R switches, even with more robust replacement devices, may not prevent the burnout from re-occurring. The K3/K3s lowpass filter for 15/17 meters would offer virtually no attenuation of a high level 20 meter signal before it hits the T/R switch diodes. If external bandpass filters were in use, you will want to measure the low side attenuation of your 15 meter bandpass filter - it may not be sufficient to prevent a high power 20 meter signal from impinging on those T/R switch diodes.

Re: [Elecraft] Front end RF overload
You should also fix the cause of the high level of RF. Did you use band pass filters? John KK9A Connie Marshall k5cm wrote: While operating SO2R the 'HIGH RF" warning flashed on the K3 display. Before I could react and stop the transmission on the other radio the front end got zapped. The radio is down about 50 db on RX. I checked Ant 2 and RX antenna and the same problem so probably not the surge protectors on each of these inputs. Any ideas on what part goes out when this happens. The TX radio was on 20 meters and the RX radio was on 15 meters.
