Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft newbie considering K3 vs KX3
I think that paddle might be affordable as well. Once I get the radio up and going with an antenna here, then that would be the next step. The stuff I was talking about was a paddle from Elecraft, and a couple of the other filters as recommended on their site. I could indeed afford the antenna tuner and the 100w amp in the initial purchase, although not much more than that right now. But I think the list I provided would be a good start, although I would try to add a 2m module and a P3 in 2013. Thanks for the post.

If it is narrow roofing filters for CW, then I think you can definitely leave these off until later, and just rely on the K3 DSP filtering for now. I think the only thing you really need to add to a basic K3 in order to do CW is a paddle. I suggest the Bencher BY-1 is a good entry-level paddle that is inexpensive but works FB. By adding the 100W amp now, it will be easier to make contacts and build your CW skills. If you are thinking of getting a K3, then grab a copy of Fred Cady's ebook on the K3 from Lulu (it is cheap, especially if you use one of the readily available discount vouchers). 73, Matt VK2ACL __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft newbie considering K3 vs KX3
I own both K3 and KX3. K3 is mature radio. Works very well. But the design is a few years old. KX3 is new radio with new design. Not mature. For instance, it has capability for extra receiver + digital work out of I/Q lines, but the software is not quite available or reliable yet. NB and NR are work in progress. Speech processor is not yet as good as in K3. The contest programs cannot easily send CW without extra hardware (with exceptions). etc, etc. But with ALS-600 modified for low drive, one can add 600W to KX3 for $1k (used price). IMHO, KX3 will look much more refined in a year.

[Elecraft] KX3 KXBC3 and NiZN batteries
KX3 2135 is alive and well, and hungry for energy. I'm feeding it with AA Alkaline batteries now, but am looking for a more permanent set of internal batteries. I have a KXBC3 installed. I'm considering low discharge1.2v 2500 mAH NiMH AAs because they may be recharged by the KXBC3. Regular 2700 mAH NiMH AAs can lose as much as 20% of their charge in the first 24 hours. That drops their available power to about 2150 on the second day. Low discharge seems a better path. Also considering NiZn batteries. Newer stabilized NiZN seem like a useful alternative. Discharge curves seem similar to NiCd or NiMH, but they offer 1.65 nominal voltage. I'm thinking the KXBC3 will not be a suitable charger. I'm thinking that the 13v of the NiZN AA batteries will allow 10W output from the KX3, where the 9.6v of the NiMH only allows 5W output. I also have 11.1 LiPo batteries I can use as external sources, but will likely consider a 4S1P 14.8v 25C LiPo as a potential external battery. Anyone go through this exercise already? I'm interested in comments.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft newbie considering K3 vs KX3
I have thought about this for several days and considering what you want in a radio at this point and being you will have but a single one starting out. I think the choice is fairly clear cut and it would be in favor of the K3 because you need a stable platform for use at home and in a Motor Home both easy for a K3 and it has 100w now when needed. The interfaces give you more choices now than the KX3 and I think that your need for a total QRP portable rig comes second at this time. It may very well be needed later down the road for testing of some of your devices and software but for development the K3 would be a plus in my opinion. 73, Fred/N0AZZ -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Ignacy Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2012 9:07 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft newbie considering K3 vs KX3 I own both K3 and KX3.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft newbie considering K3 vs KX3
Tom, I own both radios. I bought my K3/10 two years ago and have had a good time running 12w SSB with it. Surprising many when I tell them I am only running 12w. I can check into the Elecraft net fairly well with that. IN the last year I have built a 300w PA kit and can run 270w out on 20m with 12w drive from either of my radios and that makes my signal get thru every time. I should mention I run a 3-element triband yagi which does not hurt. You will like the K3 for digital modes and should opt for it, in my opinion. I got the transverter interface and second Rx along with three filters for FM, SSB, and CW. I added the TCXO-3 and later the EXREF for super accurate frequency. Those are important for some of the narrowband digital modes like WSPR and JT65. I am getting some experience with my KX3 mainly on 2m using a modified 144-28 transverter (I added a PLL synth LO so I could operate over the full 144-148 band by switching LO freq. and installed a 13w RF module which drives nicely with 3w from the KX3). Eventually Elecraft will offer a 2m transverter module and 100w PA for the KX3 which turns it into a decent mobile radio. The K3 will work fine for mobile in a RV, though. After having both radios I would not part with my K3. The KX3 would make a fine starter radio had it been available when I bought the K3, but the K3 shines for running 600m thru mw from home. Previous radios were a FT-847 and FT-817, respectively, and the Elecraft radios run circles around the old radios. 73, Ed - KL7UW __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] KX3 KXBC3 and NiZN batteries
Is there a better NiZn implementation out now? I was very disappointed with their charge retention and ultimate life when I tried them about two years ago, and I gave up on them. In any event, the KX3 charger is unlikely to charge them properly like you suggest. Definitely go for Sanyo Eneloop cells for the internal battery pack, they will last much longer than typical Nimh cells. I used to have a load of Energizer Nimh 2500 mAh cells that all developed high internal resistance and very high self-discharge rates over time despite having had only tens of cycles on them and careful charging. The Eneloops have been very stable. Normally when portable I use a 4S LiFePO4 pack with my KX1 and now KX3. These will deliver close to 14V when fully charged, and still give 12V when near the end. When they were available, I was able to make 4S packs by buying DeWalt battery packs on clearance that contained 18650 (1100 mAh) LiFePO4 cells. Over the past three years these packs have been great, but I think the DeWalt supply has dried up. You may be able to find genuine A123 cells from other vendors, but any other brand and anything from China will be hit or miss. I'm batting about 50% on attempts to get good LiFePO4 battery packs from China. At least half have come to me with one or more weak cells which bring down the whole pack capacity. Hobbyking sells "Zippy" brand LiFePO4 packs which have been hit or miss. They also claim to sell genuine A123 26650 (2300 mAh) cells with solder tabs for $13 each plus shipping- I have an order in for some of those and am hopeful they are what they say! This will let me make Buddipole equivalent packs for about 60% of what they charge. Safest bet to avoid a lot of aggravation is to use the Eneloops internally in your KX3, and buy the Buddipole 4S1P pack made with A123 brand cells for use as an external battery when you want more than 5 watts portable. It is expensive, but properly cared for should last a long time and give very good service. On Wed, Oct 17, 2012 at 9:28 AM, Rich wrote: > KX3 2135 is alive and well, and hungry for energy.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft newbie considering K3 vs KX3
Hi Tom, I'm still running a barefoot K2 (cw only) with an amp I can add on when needed. After reading your last post (below) I agree with you that is sounds like good logic to outfit yourself with a radio that you can immediately have fun with. So the SSB mode and additional CW mode sounds like it would support that well. On the question of whether to have more than QRP wattage, I can only relate that I love to see the K2 working a station barefoot. However, there are those times when I've connected with a station that I'm really excited about, and that station is struggling to get reliable copy. Its wonderful at times like that to be able to flip a switch and bring up my signal. I had just that situation the other night and the station thanked me for turning on the amp. It might set your wallet back a little on the temporary. But when you have it, you may be glad you opted for the 100-watts up front. :) Duane - N1BBR Message: 13 Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2012 19:27:13 -0500 From: tom betka Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft newbie considering K3 vs KX3 To: Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Thanks Phil... I agree that the K3 does indeed seem like the way to go at this point, and the extra $$ is probably money well-spent. But that leaves me with another dilemma...how to outfit the K3? Here's the basic order I came up with today. After talking David at Elecraft, I added the 100w power amplifier which kicks price up $450. But my question...is that really needed at first. I guess David's point (which seemed very valid when we talked) was that I should spend the extra money on the 100w amp, instead of some stuff for CW that I was going to opt for instead. I have never really practiced much CW to be honest, and would like to learn it. However David advised that it would be more important to get phone up & running, and working well--and THEN add on CW in the future. After considering his advice more today I think it's very sound indeed--and therefore was probably looking at this build list: Elecraft K3 item# item descriptionunit price-K3/100 K3 100W Xcvr. (Modular Kit) $1999.95(10w = 1549.95)KUSB Univ. Ser Bus Adapt. $39.95KXSER K144XV Serial Cable free MH3 MH3 Hand Mic$59.95 KAT3Internal Tuner $299.95=== TOTAL $2399.80 (10w = $1949.80) Although it's a bit more than I was planning to spend initially, the 100-watt amp is an affordable add-on in the initial build. So it would be do-able. For comparison, if I were to go with a KX3 and leave off the CW components, the gear would come in at just under $1350--but of course that doesn't include a 100-watt amplifier, as they are not yet available for that radio. So it really isn't an "apples-to-apples" comparison at all...unless you simply consider the 10-watt K3 build. In that case it would be about $600 more for the K3, and I think it's been well-established that this extra money would be well-spent given that this would be my only HF rig. Anyway, I'll hopefully be looking at Duane's K3 tomorrow if all goes well. Then I can make the final decision after that, and get moving. Thanks again to everyone for the advice. It's very reassuring to draw on the wealth of experience that's so obvious in the users here.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft newbie considering K3 vs KX3
Hi Duane, Yes, I agree about the 100-watt amplifier option. A guy wouldn't have to use it if it wasn't needed, but if it is needed it will sure be nice to have it. So it indeed seems to be a prudent investment at this point, even if it adds more to the initial cost than I initially planned. I guess it also saves the trouble of adding it in later...

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft newbie considering K3 vs KX3
Matt, Did you use a separate USB/serial cable? Perhaps, a third party will come with one USB/serial cable that has extra wires, possibly with some small circuits like yours, that do the radio connection, CW and PTT simultaneously Rumlog does software CW with KX3 but I don't know how well. Did you run KX3 standalone in the Oceania contest? I worked in Oceania CW last year as VK2/NO9E. Worked some 180 QSOs in 2-3 hrs using IC7000+ long wires. Got up last Sunday morning (6 AM GMT) and worked 15 stations with K3. Amp needed. 73, Ignacy On Wed, Oct 17, 2012 at 2:44 PM, Matt Maguire wrote: On 18/10/2012, at 1:06 AM, Ignacy wrote: > I own both K3 and KX3. > > K3 is mature radio. Works very well.

[Elecraft] New KX3 firmware with recent bugs fixed -- need testers
Hi all, I have a new release of KX3 field-test firmware that, hopefully, will fix some recently discovered problems. There are also a couple of new features. See the full list below. If you were affected by any of these and would like to test the new code, please email me directly. I'll send you a .zip file with the firmware, which can be installed using the instructions for beta releases (see our KX3 software web page for instructions). 73, Wayne N6KR * * * MCU 1.23 / DSP 0.99, 10-17-2012 * FM MODE SELECTION AF ARTIFACT: Eliminated. * RECEIVE AUDIO LOST ON BAND CHANGE: Fixed, probably. We were not able to duplicate this, but we may have eliminated the cause. * KXBC3 TIME-SET ERROR (etc.): Fixed. In very rare cases, KX3s were unable to communicate with the KXBC3 module. * XVTR BAND DISPLAY FIXED for cases where 100’s of MHz digits are 00 (e.g., RF band = 3400 MHz). * SIDETONE MAX VOLUME SETTING INCREASED to 40. Note: This is a very high level. We increased it to support those with hearing loss or very inefficient headphones. Most operators will use settings in the 1 to 20 range. * RIT/XIT NEVER LOCKED: VFO lock now only applies to the VFO, not RIT or XIT. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft newbie considering K3 vs KX3
The K2/100 is a nice entry level station - good ears and a price point about $900 less than a K3/100. I have both the k2/100 and a KX3. For the same reason that Duane says, it is nice to have the 100w amp. If one chooses the KX3, one can build a Juma 100w amp for about 420 euros. A fellow ham has built one and it appears to work very well.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft newbie considering K3 vs KX3
Both are fine rigs, and you would be happy with either, from an operating point of view. I feeling is it all depends upon what your goals in ham radio are - what do you want to be able to do. If you might be doing portable, hiking, DXpeditons, traveling and yes, in the car, I think the KX3 is the rig to go. The K3 is great on performance but the size would lose in the end. From a performance point of view the K3 probably has a lead over the KX3 but I gotta say, I am extremely impressed with the performance of the KX3 to date, For me, the KX3 wins - because I can do so much more with it and I believe I am not sacrificing performance wrt to the K3. I do a lot of traveling and the KX3 is the ticket. But, if I were to have just a rig for the house, never move it, I think I would still go for the KX3.

[Elecraft] KXBC3
I'm waiting on my back ordered KXBC3 for my factory built #1877. If I remember correctly, there will be no notice of shipping and there has been a request to not call for status. If the post I've been following are correct, I should have received mine by now. I want to respect their wish to not call. So I'm asking for customers who have received theirs to respond to this with the model number they have. Thanks for any help you great folks can provide.

Re: [Elecraft] KXBC3
We are still a long way from shipping back logged KXBC3s to your serial number range. Please be patient, we have a very large number to ship. 73, Eric www.elecraft.com _..._ On Oct 17, 2012, at 6:24 PM, Mike Mardis wrote: > I'm waiting on my back ordered KXBC3 for my factory built #1877. > If I remember correctly, there will be no notice of shipping and there has > been a request to not call for status. > If the post I've been following are correct, I should have received mine by > now.
