It *would* be very neat if Remoterig could support K3 on the server side and
have it controlled by a KX3 on the client side as the remote frontpanel
Owning both K3 and KX3 would become even more interesting.

FWIW, I have always found it useful to scratch the surface of the
crystals and tin them prior to mounting them on the board. It clears
any tarnishing of the cans between time of manufacture and assembly and
makes soldering easier.

Jim,
That will work, and I have heard of some who did it that way.
I find it is easy (even in the close quarters with the R-Paks) to solder
the wires to the crystal cans after the crystals are mounted.
My technique is to solder in the ground wires (don't trim the leads on
the bottom of the boar
Building a K2. (Having great fun doing so!) Working on the RF board. At
the point of installing crystals X1-X11. These have one or two ground leads
each. Any reason not to solder the ground leads on the cases first and then
install the crystals? This would involve routing three or four leads
ABOUT TIME :)
The cat is out of the bag! Whoot!

Just a comment regarding the latest k3 beta firmware;

some previous firmware versions.
I did all the usual advised fixes of tx calibration etc, however the tx
power level was hit and miss, and

Hi Sergio,
Thanks for reporting these interesting results.
A few K3 users in extremely high-signal environments might benefit
from a few extra dB of dynamic range, at the cost of a mixer add-on
module like you described.
However, I'd be concerned about the possibility of additional mixer
s
TNX all for advice. !
I tried via RS232/USB FTDI but that caused problems with WSJT. As I want
to use also CAT I decided to go via 15pol ACC and PC's com 1.
Now I made that simple npn transistor solution and that works fine now.

Most "horrible wide signals" observed on the P3 are produced by
electronic sources like switching power supplies (including battery
chargers) and the clocks associated with various digital devices. Some
may be in your own home, others in the homes of neighbors. They

Tim, there's no magic solution to this situation,
You can connect your PC's com port to the K3's com port and use either RTS or
DTR to key the radio. Have a look at the PTT-KEY configuration menu item in
your owner's manual. Section 3.3.2 in "The Elecraft K3: Design, Configuration,
and Operation" describes how to do this in greater detail. An e
If you are directly connecting a serial port signal pin to the K3 ACC
PTT, that will cause trouble, and may damage the K3. The voltages out
of a serial port can be up to 25 volts, both positive and negative. You
need some sort of conversion (a single transistor keying circuit) to
drive the K3
Last night is the first time that I've heard it so wide. If I hear it
again, I'll save a screenshot with the P3 Utility.

Hi Erwin,
You can't connect the COM port directly to the ACC port - you need a
transistor in the middle to convert the high/low voltages to a "pull
to ground". Interfaces like the ones described at:

would work.

Hello all,
I have a small problem with PTT via com port and ACC plug.
I made a 2 pin cable 9pol from PC to ACC 15pol to K3.
I soldered pin 4 for PTT and pin 5 for ground.
I tested it for correct wire and short - all O.K.
Now as soon I connect the TRX-ACC and the com port (serial 9 pin) to my

Rich,
I don't know if it was purposely omitted from the manual, but there is
no mention of chaining for the DVR - there is explicit mention of
chaining for the CW memories.
I believe there is still a problem even if chaining of DVR messages is
not possible - it should not continue in TX mode f
