Morning Folks,
I have always had some type of amateur radio in my car. First licensed in
junior high and now at 62, I have gone through a lot of radios and variations
in my shack. For several reasons, I have decided to "simplify" my station, and
have a Elecraft only approach to my on the air

Just wanted to say how pleased I am with K2 #7006. It works very well,
and I have made several QRP contacts on different bands even with my
currently terrible antenna setup. It currently has the SSB Audio
Filter options. Kudos to Elecraft, and all of the helpful members of
this list.

Receiving on 40m and 80m with just a ~20 ft piece of wire into the

For what it is worth, mine (1740) does the same thing on 6 meters. For
example, I can't set the power to 10 watts on 6. The same does not happen on
80 meters.
I also notice that the receive gain is lower in the dead band between 8 and 13
watts.

Even though this is a very busy time with the early shipping of the P3s and one
of the Elecraft service techs on vacation, I still had a major problem
diagnosed and a new board sent to me overnight. my K3 was back in operation in
less than 24 hours.
Great job guys.

Ed,
Google: K7QO code course
If you faithfully follow it for about 15 minutes a day, your code speed will be
at least 18 wpm in about a month. Then you will really start to have fun with
your KX1.
Remember that your KX1 has only 3 or 4 watts output so use good QRP practices.

You can download a pretty good spl meter for the iphone through the App Store.

Apparently the reflector does not pass emails with large attachments. I think
it is pretty graphic and I would like others to see it if I can figure out how.

One of the beauties of the K3 is that it does these mode all by itself. All
you need is K3 utility for Mac and use the terminal.

Depends on what you want to sound like. HC4 is very narrow. In my opinion, it
is lousy under any circumstances. HC5 is less so but still very narrow. The
new HC6 gives very good almost HI FI results with the K3. I have tried them
all with the K3 and that is my opinion. If you use the wide

Interesting effect. While working 20 meter cw qrp contest, I noticed
that when I turn on NR (any setting), VFO A locks up. The lock
symbol does not come on. 1740, 3.41.
Anyone else notice this?

Sorry guys. This is apparently normal. Only locks while NR setting

Paul,
Others have suggested unlinking the VFOs and this is necessary but not
really sufficient. It all depends on the dx operators. Those at K4M
seem to listen on the same frequency long enough for you to find them
and tailgate the previous station. On the other hand, the Glorioso
Yes. Isn't it wonderful. They also read this reflector and respond,
sometimes within minutes, to important issues. Wouldn't it be nice if
some of our elected representatives did this?

It depends on how you do it. If I go to the next band up with the
band up button, split goes off. When I go back down using the band
down button, the split is still there. If I go to the next band up
using the memory button, split is gone as before but

We appreciate what you are doing and I will repeat again that the new

Lyle hasn't got it yet!!
Firmware 3.30 -- using NR (3-4) on SSB (14.178), first the volume
control did not work then after a little while the K3 goes to full
volume and only turning it off gets rid of the problem.
THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM!!! Hearing loss could result. Please got
on this
For the K3 (sn 1740, firmware 3.25), the manual says that there is a
separate set of transmit EQ settings for ESSB indicated by TX EQ
changing to TX*EQ. This does not happen. It appears that there is no
separate TX EQ setting for ESSB. Am I doing something wrong?
