The following is a narrative taken from Sunday Morning's televised 'Meet The Press'. The author is employed by none other than the Washington Post!! From Sunday's 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, Televised 'Meet the Press' Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag. General Bill Ginn' USAF (ret.) asked Obama to explain WHY he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played. The General also stated to Obama that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171... During rendition of the national anthem, when the flag is displayed, all present (except those in uniform) are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Or, at the very least, 'Stand and Face It'. Senator Obama replied: 'As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides'. 'There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression.' 'The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all that sort of thing.' ARE YOU READY FOR THIS??? Obama said: 'The National Anthem should be 'swapped' for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing'. If that were our anthem, then, I might salute it. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as 'redesign' our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we, as a Nation of waring people, conduct ourselves as the nations of Islam where peace prevails - - - perhaps a state or period of mutual accord could exist between our governments .' When I become President, I will seek a pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation have placed upon the nations of Islam an unfair injustice which is WHY my Wife disrespects the Flag and she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past'. 'Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put my hatred aside. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's First black Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America' WHAAAT the Hell is that!!! Yes, you read it right. This could possibly be our next President. I, for one, am speechless!!!

How can I verify that the XG1 is operating correctly? I have measured the voltage at C3/R3 and it is 1.22 volts (and the battery is 2.99 volts).

[Elecraft] K3 sweepstakes this weekend
Hi Don, Thank you for the SSCW contact this past weekend. I believe you were the one who told me I had a chirp. (If not, I am sorry to have burdened you with this). After the report, I immediately switched from my K3 to a K2 and finished the contest. I was using N3FJP software to key the K3 as well as a paddle for keying the K3 keyer. Can you tell me how bad the chirp was? I have had two other reports like this during contests - even the QRP ARCI at 5 watts. It seems it comes on after I have used the K3 for a substantial amount of time. I contacted Elecraft support and they suggested some things to check out, but it is very difficult to do when the radio works fine most of the time. I set it up here with a loop from the logging program and let it run into a dummy load for over an hour with no change. I may have to send it back to them for their analysis. Anyway, I finished the contest with 706 Qs in 77 sections (no ND, NL, NT) for a score of 100K+. Sure is a fun contest. I really enjoy the K3, but the K2 is still a very good radio for CW contests also. I made 357 Qs with the K3 and 349 with the K2. Thanks and best regards.

Re: [Elecraft] Bigger K3 S-meter vs what I REALLY want.
Jerry Flanders said: snip The K3 with PowerSDR panadaptor is the best pan system of all I have ever used, starting with the Heath panadaptor in the mid-'70's. and including all 4 radios of the 756 series. Jerry W4UK snip I agree fully and can add two more rigs to what Jerry already mentions above: Kenwood TS-950SDX + SM-230 Panadapter. Icom IC-7800 built-in bandscope. Not only is the PowerSDR panadapter display the best I have ever seen, the point and click feature for SP in a contest is simply unbeatable. If you already own and use a later model logging computer then the addition of the LP-PAN IF interface and PowerSDR software to the K3 is, in my opinion, the single biggest enhancement available for the K3 (in fixed station use) at this time.

[Elecraft] K3 with SDR-IQ
Has anyone had an opportunity to compare LP-PAN with the SDR-IQ using SpectraVue? I am interested in using the K3 in a compact, portable environment with my laptop PC where I would like to avoid the use of an external sound card if possible, and the SDR-IQ seems to meet this requirement. Moreover, with the N8LP I.F. buffer mod conducted on the K3, is there any reason to pursue any further I.F. level or impedance optimization when using the SDR-IQ? Tnx!

RE: [Elecraft] Request
Are you asking about RX audio, TX audio or both? SSB, AM, FM, or (for RX) CW? For CW, I find the K3 to be the 3rd best audio I've ever had. The Drake 2B and K1 both had smoother sweeter sounding CW tones but their AGC left a lot to be desired. The K2 was 3rd in line with good sounding CW and good AGC. I place the K3 just a bit behind the K2 in terms of raw smooth CW tone but the rig takes top position when you factor in the rest of the things that matter in a CW receiver. SSB - I haven't a clue. I haven't even hooked a mic up to the rig. - Keith N1AS - - K3 711 - -Original Message- I'm considering he purchase of a K3 to replace my 756 Pro III.

Re: [Elecraft] Request
I assume your are talking about TX audio because you are asking about what microphone we recommend. You can use pretty much every microphone you can find and get good audio reports. You can adjust the K3 so it will accept a very wide range of microphones. Some of us get good reports with a cheap gaming headset, others use more expensive headsets like the Heil Pro Set Plus.

RE: [Elecraft] Request
Uh, actually, I don't think that is the best. Feeding the rigs through a stereo amp to stereo speakers will certainly give you more frequency response and may smooth the midrange some, but it will also give you much more high freq noise and low freq rumble. It may make signals harder to copy (although they'll sound nice when they're strong). Of course, who am I to talk. I use hi-fi headphones all the time. Even with hi-fi speakers / headphones, the quality character of the receive audio varies widely amongst ham rigs. Some sound harsh - spiky - jumpy - and just plain loud no matter what the volume setting. Some sound sweet smooth. Using great speakers or headphones will let you hear the differences but they won't make the harsh sound go away. - Keith N1AS - - K3 711 - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Phil LaMarche Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2008 12:14 PM To: 'Lee Buller'; 'Elecraft Reflector' Subject: RE: [Elecraft] Request For receiving, I feed all radio's into a 100 watt amplifier and then to two good book case speakers mounted on the wall and pointed at me.

[Elecraft] K3 wish list
When in REPEAT mode sending a CW message use the last 2 letter positions (REPExx) to down count to start of next transmission. To have the ability to use a PF switch to toggle power from 5 Watts to some higher power, probably 80 Watts. Have the K3 control switching between 1:1 and 4:1 on the BL-3. Where is the BL-3?

[Elecraft] Re: K3 sweepstakes this weekend
Hi Dick, Well - I didn't want to complain, but I will provide feedback to a station that may know about the unique sound (homebrew gear), or may not know that something unusual is going on with the station. I gave you the 589C and later keyed chirp because it's the only word I know of to describe an unusual condition on transmitted cw. With analog radios there are fewer sounds that are made from an out of spec transmitter, your signal was certainly not chirp as in the traditional sense. (bwop bip bwop bip). I also had one report of bad keying myself over the weekend, but my secondary receiver revealed nothing unusual and the next few contacts my sig ok? was answered positive so I kept operating. I've replied to the list in case anyone else might be interested. Great job on the qso counts - I enjoyed 200 contacts on 20m - S P - but never send in my log. Thanks, Don wb8yqj Hi Don, Well, seems I sent my message for you to the reflector. Here it is again. Thank you for the SSCW contact this past weekend. I believe you were the one who told me I had a chirp. (If not, I am sorry to have burdened you with this). After the report, I immediately switched from my K3 to a K2 and finished the contest. I was using N3FJP software to key the K3 as well as a paddle for keying the K3 keyer. Can you tell me how bad the chirp was? I have had two other reports like this during contests - even the QRP ARCI at 5 watts. It seems it comes on after I have used the K3 for a substantial amount of time. I contacted Elecraft support and they suggested some things to check out, but it is very difficult to do when the radio works fine most of the time. I set it up here with a loop from the logging program and let it run into a dummy load for over an hour with no change. I may have to send it back to them for their analysis. Anyway, I finished the contest with 706 Qs in 77 sections (no ND, NL, NT) for a score of 100K+. Sure is a fun contest. I really enjoy the K3, but the K2 is still a very good radio for CW contests also. I made 357 Qs with the K3 and 349 with the K2. Thanks and best regards.

[Elecraft] Sound perception
IMHO, Sound perception is probably one of the most variable things of all. For instance, MY hearing is 10 dB down up to about 1500 Hz and by 1700 Hz it is 50 dB down for the remainder of the spectrum. I asked the audiologist what was considered totally deaf - she said 70 dB was deaf. (and I thought I could hear just fine, almost, except for my wife (higher frequency and softer voice)and I didn't need to hear her anyway, LOL) Does anyone think the way I adjust my audio would be the same as the way they like it. I doubt it. Trying to answer a question of what is the best for audio for any one person OR situation is virtually impossible. I do use the original Heil headset with the HC4 element and the original Goldline with the HC5 and full-range elements. 73, Jim___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] Desk Mic with DTMF Tone Pad
I am currently using an Adonis (Japanese brand) desk microphone with my K2 and two ICOM VHF/UHF radios by means of a ready-made three-position switch and cable harness. I have had good reports on both the K2 SSB and the ICOM FM radios. I need to have a tone pad for certain functions, but (a) Adonis apparently does not make a desk mic with one and (b) the importer claims that Adonis no longer ships anything to the US. As a result, I am looking for a decent-sounding desk mic with tone pad that has an 8-pin Foster connector with the pin-out for the switchbox (furnished on request - because of limited eyesight I have problems with detailed soldering) or a suitable adapter to it.

Doug, thanks for the Q this weekend! I operated at Ray W2RE's QTH and we used my call. This was my first SS ever and we used Ray's new #1965 K3 and a MP for the other radio. What a great time! The K3 performed flawlessly and it's absolutely amazing how there is almost no fatigue running that rig. The receiver is just so quiet and so smooth. Our goal was 1000 Q's and a clean sweep and we met both. We needed NWT and AK for the last 2 and they both called us in the last few hours of the test ;) There was one issue with the K3 that I noticed. If I had the width squeezed to 250hz and forgot, I wondered why I didn't hear stations calling. Open it back up to 500 and the world reappeared!

'There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression.' 'The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all that sort of thing.' ARE YOU READY FOR THIS??? Obama said: 'The National Anthem should be 'swapped' for something less parochial and less bellicose.

One is a function of frequency response and the other is a function of distortion products. Many of us are suffering from varying degrees of hearing loss. I suffer from tinnitus (ringing of the ears) which can mask some of the high- frequency content from the voice, usually women's voices. (My wife occasionally accuses me of selective hearing. :-) Anyway, I do benefit from using headphones and providing a bit of a boost to the higher frequencies, e.g. starting at around 1KHz with boost increasing to around +6dB at 3KHz. You can make this sort of improvement with a graphical or parametric equalizer. (I prefer parametric myself but they are hard to come by.) Distortion products typically impart either a warm, fat sound; i.e. low order, mostly 2nd harmonic; or a hard, edgy sound; i.e. high order. Either can obscure readability to some extent. One of the reasons the old tube rigs were so pleasant to listen to is because they had almost no high-order distortion. It was almost all 2nd and a touch of 3rd. I could listen to my Hammerlund HQ-180X all day and all night very happily with no ear fatigue. If you suffer from that hard, edgy, fatiguing sound, try stealing the signal before it gets to the built-in audio amp and feed it to a good hi-fi amp to see what you hear. Get the signal right from the detector if you can. It can make a *huge* difference. (My experience is that most manufacturers of ham gear really skimp on the quality of the audio chain.)

The K3 is an improvement, so I'm going to have a dandy time driving my retired scientist of a sister out of her mind by having to either tell me to put on the headphones while she watches TV, or take off the headphones so she can talk to me!

Re: [Elecraft] K3 with SDR-IQ
Paul, I use a Perseus SDR (see QST for December 08 for the review, also on the members site). Perseus has a USB2 interface rather than the narrow band sound card approach. I don't use the IF out of the K3 with Perseus, but connect them in parallel using an outboard ferrite splitter on the RF IN/OUT of the K3's KXV3 interface module. Frequency linking them via Ham Radio Deluxe so that either the K3 tunes the Perseus or vice versa. The combination works very well, indeed the noise reduction in the Perseus is superior to that in the K3. The receiver performance is similar for both as the Perseus has a 3rd order IMD of 97 dB at 2 KHz spacing. The only downside to Perseus is the current lack of support from 3rd party programs which seem to favour the 192 KHz bandwidth simpler SDR receivers (Perseus has 1600 KHz bandwidth). There is a comparison of Perseus vs. SDR-IQ at: http://www.ssb.de/amateur/pdf/radcom_mar08.pdf 73 Dave, G4AON K3/100 #80 Has anyone had an opportunity to compare LP-PAN with the SDR-IQ using SpectraVue? I am interested in using the K3 in a compact, portable environment with my laptop PC where I would like to avoid the use of an external sound card if possible, and the SDR-IQ seems to meet this requirement. Moreover, with the N8LP I.F. buffer mod conducted on the K3, is there any reason to pursue any further I.F. level or impedance optimization when using the SDR-IQ? Tnx!

Re: [Elecraft] Re: K3 and DXBase
Bill, If you are using a USB to serial adapter, try setting the speed as high as you can - it is counterintuitive, but many adapters have problems at low speeds but work fine at higher speeds. Again make sure everything is set for the same speed. If you possibly can, try using a real serial port, at least as a trial. 73, Don W3FPR Bill Parry wrote: Thanks to all that responded. +The manual said specifically not check DTR and RTS, so I did not.

From Sunday's 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, Televised 'Meet the Press' Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag. General Bill Ginn' USAF (ret.) asked Obama to explain WHY he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played. The General also stated to Obama that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171... During rendition of the national anthem, when the flag is displayed, all present (except those in uniform) are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Or, at the very least, 'Stand and Face It'. Senator Obama replied: 'As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides'. 'There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression.' 'The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all that sort of thing.' ARE YOU READY FOR THIS??? Obama said: 'The National Anthem should be 'swapped' for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing'. If that were our anthem, then, I might salute it. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as 'redesign' our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we, as a Nation of waring people, conduct ourselves as the nations of Islam where peace prevails - - - perhaps a state or period of mutual accord could exist between our governments .' When I become President, I will seek a pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation have placed upon the nations of Islam an unfair injustice which is WHY my Wife disrespects the Flag and she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past'. 'Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put my hatred aside. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's First black Family.

[Elecraft] SS CW from N0SS
Well, I didn't do was well as I'd hoped, but it's not the fault of the radio (K3). The operator's getting a bit long in the tooth and was feeling the effects of our local radio club's Halloween Special Event operation from Frankenstein (MO) as W0O. Even though I didn't stay the night (Friday night), I didn't get much sleep before the SS and I crapped out an hour before the end of the contest. I was hoping to break the 100k point barrier this year, but just didn't have the stamina to get there. I missed three sections: ND, MD, and NWT... to my chagrin. Was really hoping for a Clean Sweep... one of the ARRL SS Brooms would have certainly looked nice on the wall of my shack (IF you could find it). Congratulations to KR2Q and several others who beat me quite handily in class Q. Station: N0SS Class: Single Op QRP QTH: MO Operating Time (hrs): 21 Summary: Band QSOs 160: 80: 161 40: 227 20: 146 15: 12 10: Total: 546 Sections = 77 Total Score = 84,084 Man... I hears a BUNCH of K3s in this year's SS... a number of folks took the time to say, Great Signal... RIG??? When I replied K3, I very frequently got the same response in reply... I had no severe problems with my K3... the only one problem I did have was self-inflicted in that I failed to set a CONFIG parameter to allow the K3 to NOT disable RIT every time I change bands... there IS a CONFIG parm to allow RIT to remain enables across band changes and I'd managed to forget that fact. Well... I did have one other problem... the K3's filtering... The filtering was so darn good that I tended to forget that I can't slide my QRP signal up against a big QRO station (calling CQ) and then expect anyone else to hear me when _I_ start to CQ as well... I seldom heard the other guy, regardless of how strong he was, but his big signal overshadowed mine on the far end almost every time I tried CQing. Sometimes having great filtering might not be the best thing to have... heheh! 95% of my contacts were from operating SP as opposed to CQing... I just started at the bottom of a band and worked (almost) every station I called as I tuned up the band. Then, I'd either go back down for another pass, or I'd just to another band and repeat the process. I'd guess that 80% of my calls were answered on the first call, even when I wasn't the only station calling. I must thank (LOUDLY) all those who worked me and especially those who took the time and effort to work me when I wasn't the strongest signal on the band, and I'm certain there were many of those times.

[Elecraft] K3 Beta firmware rev. 2.63: Switch-press tones
K3 beta-test firmware revision 2.63 (with DSP rev 1.95) is now available. Please send any problem reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For instructions on how to load beta firmware, please see: http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_software.htm Highlights: * Audio tones on switch press (if CONFIG:SW TONE is set to ON) * 1 kHz AM COARSE VFO TUNING RANGE ADDED * Many new remote-control commands for use by PC software applications Full details appear below. 73, Wayne N6KR * * * MCU 2.63 / DSP 1.95, 11-04-2008 * SWITCH TONES NOW AVAILABLE: If CONFIG:SW TONE is set to ON, tapping or holding switches produces audio tones corresponding to the switch state. This supplements the normal tactile feedback of the switches. * NORM SWITCH ALLOWED DURING TX: The “NORM” switch function (receive passband normalization, e.g. 400 Hz in CW mode) can now be accessed during transmit. It takes effect after the K3 returns to receive mode. This is especially useful for CW contest operation. * COMPRESSION RANGE: Some operators asked for a higher “CMP” (speech compression) setting to add “punch” under certain conditions. It can now be set from 0-40. We still recommend lower settings (0-20) for normal operation. * AM COARSE VFO TUNING RATES: Now 1, 5, 9, and 10 kHz. * AM TRANSMIT: CONFIG:TXG VCE no longer affects AM transmit. * SPLIT COMBINATIONS AVAILABLE: Cross-mode SPLIT operation is possible with any combination of CW and SSB for VFO A and B. Same-mode SPLIT is possible in all modes except PSK-D. * CROSS-MODE SPLIT INDICATION: If you turn on SPLIT with VFO A and B in different legal modes (e.g. CW and SSB), the K3 will remind you of VFO B’s mode by flashing it (as well as the VFO B TX arrow). This reminder can be cancelled by tapping any switch, key, or PTT. The reason for the “reminder” is that operators usually enter cross-mode split by accident. If so, cancel the reminder flash, then use BSET to change VFO B’s mode, or tap AB to copy mode A to mode B. For software developers: * “FW$” ADDED (direct sub/VFO B filter bandwidth). * “SM$” ADDED (direct sub-receiver S-meter read). * DV (DIVERSITY) COMMAND: DV0 (off), DV1 (on). Also turns sub off/on. To turn on the sub but not diversity, use an “SWT” command (verify SUB status with “DS”). * COMMANDS AVAILBLE DURING BSET: IF, FA, FB, MD”, “MD$, and DT (GET only). “FW” and “FW$” work in BSET except during diversity (TBD). --- http://www.elecraft.com ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

For instance, MY hearing is 10 dB down up to about 1500 Hz and by 1700 Hz it is 50 dB down for the remainder of the spectrum. I asked the audiologist what was considered totally deaf - she said 70 dB was deaf. (and I thought I could hear just fine, almost, except for my wife (higher frequency and softer voice)and I didn't need to hear her anyway, LOL) Does anyone think the way I adjust my audio would be the same as the way they like it. I doubt it. Trying to answer a question of what is the best for audio for any one person OR situation is virtually impossible. I do use the original Heil headset with the HC4 element and the original Goldline with the HC5 and full-range elements. Well, there are two parts to this. One is a function of frequency response and the other is a function of distortion products. Many of us are suffering from varying degrees of hearing loss. I suffer from tinnitus (ringing of the ears) which can mask some of the high- frequency content from the voice, usually women's voices. (My wife occasionally accuses me of selective hearing. :-) Anyway, I do benefit from using headphones and providing a bit of a boost to the higher frequencies, e.g. starting at around 1KHz with boost increasing to around +6dB at 3KHz. You can make this sort of improvement with a graphical or parametric equalizer. (I prefer parametric myself but they are hard to come by.) Distortion products typically impart either a warm, fat sound; i.e. low order, mostly 2nd harmonic; or a hard, edgy sound; i.e. high order. Either can obscure readability to some extent. One of the reasons the old tube rigs were so pleasant to listen to is because they had almost no high-order distortion. It was almost all 2nd and a touch of 3rd. I could listen to my Hammerlund HQ-180X all day and all night very happily with no ear fatigue. If you suffer from that hard, edgy, fatiguing sound, try stealing the signal before it gets to the built-in audio amp and feed it to a good hi-fi amp to see what you hear. Get the signal right from the detector if you can. It can make a *huge* difference. (My experience is that most manufacturers of ham gear really skimp on the quality of the audio chain.)

RE: [Elecraft] K3 Beta firmware rev. 2.63: Switch-press tones
* AM TRANSMIT: CONFIG:TXG VCE no longer affects AM transmit. Is there now going to be a new AM carrier adjustment? With TXG VCE lost on AM, my carrier output is well below what it should be (and was with TXG VCE = 1.0 or 1.5 depending on the which K3 I was using). With previous firmware the same value of TXG VCE that equalized the SSB PEP output with CW resulted in 22 to 28 watts of AM carrier when the power level was set for 100 watts. With TXG VCE disabled in FW 2.64, I now get only 14 to 15 Watts of carrier. 73, ... Joe, W4TV -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of wayne burdick Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2008 8:52 PM To: Elecraft Reflector Subject: [Elecraft] K3 Beta firmware rev. 2.63: Switch-press tones K3 beta-test firmware revision 2.63 (with DSP rev 1.95) is now available. Please send any problem reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For instructions on how to load beta firmware, please see: http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_software.htm Highlights: * Audio tones on switch press (if CONFIG:SW TONE is set to ON) * 1 kHz AM COARSE VFO TUNING RANGE ADDED * Many new remote-control commands for use by PC software applications Full details appear below. 73, Wayne N6KR * * * MCU 2.63 / DSP 1.95, 11-04-2008 * SWITCH TONES NOW AVAILABLE: If CONFIG:SW TONE is set to ON, tapping or holding switches produces audio tones corresponding to the switch state. This supplements the normal tactile feedback of the switches. * NORM SWITCH ALLOWED DURING TX: The “NORM” switch function (receive passband normalization, e.g. 400 Hz in CW mode) can now be accessed during transmit. It takes effect after the K3 returns to receive mode. This is especially useful for CW contest operation. * COMPRESSION RANGE: Some operators asked for a higher “CMP” (speech compression) setting to add “punch” under certain conditions. It can now be set from 0-40. We still recommend lower settings (0-20) for normal operation. * AM COARSE VFO TUNING RATES: Now 1, 5, 9, and 10 kHz. * AM TRANSMIT: CONFIG:TXG VCE no longer affects AM transmit. * SPLIT COMBINATIONS AVAILABLE: Cross-mode SPLIT operation is possible with any combination of CW and SSB for VFO A and B. Same-mode SPLIT is possible in all modes except PSK-D. * CROSS-MODE SPLIT INDICATION: If you turn on SPLIT with VFO A and B in different legal modes (e.g. CW and SSB), the K3 will remind you of VFO B’s mode by flashing it (as well as the VFO B TX arrow). This reminder can be cancelled by tapping any switch, key, or PTT. The reason for the “reminder” is that operators usually enter cross-mode split by accident. If so, cancel the reminder flash, then use BSET to change VFO B’s mode, or tap AB to copy mode A to mode B. For software developers: * “FW$” ADDED (direct sub/VFO B filter bandwidth). * “SM$” ADDED (direct sub-receiver S-meter read). * DV (DIVERSITY) COMMAND: DV0 (off), DV1 (on). Also turns sub off/on. To turn on the sub but not diversity, use an “SWT” command (verify SUB status with “DS”). * COMMANDS AVAILBLE DURING BSET: IF, FA, FB, MD”, “MD$, and DT (GET only). “FW” and “FW$” work in BSET except during diversity (TBD). --- http://www.elecraft.com ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: Re[Elecraft] quest
I found out that the hand mic from Elecraft works best on the EQ. I have tried different studio style mics and it seems like the EQ goes wider with the one from Elecraft. (MH2). The next best mic in second place was one of the gamers mics with the foot pedal. The Kenwood and the ADI radio plugs work on Elecraft if you use a headset with a foot pedal. It's amazing that I can get more lows and highs from the little hand mic and had confirmed my findings over air. The stations I've talked told me that the hand mic sounds deeper, richer and more brilliant on the EQ than the other mics that were adjusted again on the EQ again. I think the money was well spent on the hand mic and have no regrets. Phil LaMarche-2 wrote: I'm considering he purchase of a K3 to replace my 756 Pro III.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Analog S-meter
Whimsical is a good description. But yeah, why not? You might want to get the most current version. A couple of folks reported that the meter was off by 2-3 S-units. I think I've fixed that problem. I've also added some anti-aliasing to the needle drawing routine in Windows. It's not so jagged now. Now it looks almost as good on Windows as it does on the Mac... Almost. :) Tnx, Joel.

Re: Re[Elecraft] quest
When I received my MH-2, I almost put it up for sale because it is so bulky in the hand, especially with the non-removable hanger, and yes, the ptt button is a bit of a pain. Then I listened to it with the monitor and found that the sound quality is much better than the dynamic Kenwood mike I was comparing it to. The MH-2 stays! In fact in other audio applications I have always found that an electret mike is superior to a dynamic.
