Yes, it is very good once you get the hang of it.  I move the peak just 
a tad off of the center of the passband.  It really seems to make a 
difference ... might be a result of my very compromised hearing, don't 
know..


 It

is not something you will need to use all the time.


There have been several posts over the time that APF appeared from 
people who use it essentially all the time.  I use it a lot on weak 
signals at the noise, but not nearly "all the time."  Any CW signal 
that's above my noise just stands out on the K3.  APF also seems to help 
with multiple very weak signals in the passband.  My guess is that when 
they're all at the noise, it's hard [at least for me] to actually 
associate a tone frequency to each, and they sort of just merge 
together.  APF will usually yank the one I want out of the muddle.

Re: [Elecraft] 2nd RX Vs. P3

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

A very difficult choice indeed.  The P3 display can be studied to 
understand how a DX operator is working the pile.  You can tell if he is 
working up or down the split or where in split in the case of large 
splits of late or if he is shotgunning it.


I use both constantly.  The 2nd receiver can be set up with just a 
couple of filters and you are good to go.  The 2nd receiver is great to 
listen on a 2nd band if you have a 2nd antenna to use.

Hi All,

There has been a fair amount of discussion here about which accessory 
for the K3 trumps the other --a P3 or a 2nd RX.  I don't have an 
answer, but I do have an opinion.


I have the full K-Line here, but due to neighborhood restrictions, my 
antennas are modest.  I use an R8 and a vertical dipole (Sigma 40XK) 
set up for 40 meters.  That gives me decent coverage from 40 meters 
up, but nothing really fancy--and not a sure fire pile up buster!  I'm 
certainly no threat to the "honor roll!"  Hi.  I think I have been a 
bit cavalier about relying too much on the P3 to spot DX listening 
frequencies with just the P3.  I love the P3, but I can't say I have 
been particularly accurate by using it. I do turn on the 2nd RX fairly 
often, but more often than not,  I get lazy about doing just that.


The recent K1N Dxpedition was sort of a wake-up call for me about 
using the 2nd RX more.  I'd use the P3, and think  I had ID'd the 
listening freq., but it just wasn't producing any results.  Their 
split was very wide, and besides that, stations were calling and 
calling, even though they weren't the station K1N had acknowledged.  
That' nothing new, but it was particularly bad on this operation.  I 
was getting a lot of "false" readings just using the P3.  For days I 
had "zero" success.  Eventually I went to the 2nd RX, and the results 
improved dramatically.  I got 5 band slots in fairly short order by 
doing so.  There just doesn't seem to be a really good substitute for 
knowing exactly which freq. the DX station is listening on at the 
time.  It doesn't guarantee success, but it sure gives you a leg up!


I think, in my case at least, the 2nd RX may be the more advantageous 
for this kind of thing.  Stations with more power, and bigger 
antennas, have a definite advantage.  They can be picked out of the 
pile much more readily than I can.  Some of the big guns have signals 
so strong they are like magnets!  I think anyone in my shoes, who is 
trying to nab a good DX contact here or there, is apt to find the 2nd 
RX to be a great accessory, and more productive than the P3 for that 
particular purpose.  Chances are I'm not using the P3 to it's best 
advantage, but I am trying to get better at it. I'm sure there are 
"tricks" I'm not aware of.


Since the K1N DXpedition, there have been 4 or 5 other situations 
where the 2nd RX got me a contact in fairly short order--a couple of 
them just this weekend.  Anyway, I'm getting more and more convinced 
that the 2nd RX was a good move on my part.  The P3 was too, but it is 
more useful to me for other reasons.  If I had it to do all over, and 
could only get one accessory, or only one at a time, I would start 
with the 2nd RX.


By the way, on the KX3, the "dual watch" feature is priceless, and 
very effectively emulates a 2nd RX!  K1N probably stretched the limits 
of that feature (15 khz), but generally that is more than adequate.  
The KX3 is just a super slick radio, and with the PX3 you have a 
dynamite combo!

Re: [Elecraft] K3 APF/Dual PBT

The APF will take signals in the noise and make them very readable. It 
is not something you will need to use all the time.

The APF takes a little practice.  Except when I'm NCS of our traffic 
net, I run about 250 Hz DSP BW.  I have found that the APF gets very 
hard to tune with anything less than that and 300 Hz is even better. 
APF performance also seems to be somewhat connected to AGC settings.


Once I mastered it, mine works great, I use it all the time to pull 
very weak SOTA guys running a few watts to a compromise antenna out of 
the noise.

What version of the software are you running?

You also need to peak the filter with the shift knob.

Never noticed until you mentioned it Harry. I'm left handed. My K3 sits
right in front of me, and the P3, KPA500 are to the left. All just below eye
level. Menu button on KPA500 about 18" to my left. Not a problem here.

[Elecraft] WTB Nicely cared for K3

[thomas branton via Elecraft]

Good evening everyone,

I am just getting back into ham radio and I would like to find a well cared for 
K3 that needs a new home.  The best candidate should be fairly well equipped 
with options and have the general coverage receiver module.  If you have such 
in your shack please send the particulars to me.  Thanks in advance.  
Everyone's help and advice is very much appreciated.

Re: [Elecraft] Remote control of KPA with the addition of a KAT

[Oliver Dröse]

Howard,

you must not loose connection when putting the KAT500 in line! I use the 
same setup, i.e. K3 cabled to KAT500 cabled to KPA500 and have the cable 
between K3 and KAT500 modified to allow remote switch on of the KPA500. 
Just make sure you use a straight cable between the KAT500 and KPA500 
and the modification will still work.

Some time ago I wrote a little paper about my earlier radio history to show some

the amp for it to use in the fifth-wheel.  This
would make it more like the K3, of course.  But
I have been having so much fun running QRP that
I've decided to hold off on the amp.

Do I use a laptop computer with my KX3 - you
bet!  That way I get all the benefits of the
panadaptor, FLdigi, FLamp, etc.  And a laptop
has the added benefit of a battery (my Dell
convertible using Win 8.1 gets 6-8 hours on a
charge).  Talk about portability - this is it!
I used to have a Flex-1500, but the
unreliability of the software drove me to sell
it.  Unfortunately I sold the 100-watt linear I
had with it.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 - Light leaking around the Buttoms

[Phil Wheeler]

I've not noticed such an issue, Harry. I'll take a 
closer look since it's fired up now.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 - Light leaking around the Buttoms

[Harry Yingst via Elecraft]

why does it need to be fixed because it sits at the perfect angle to look like 
an LED shining
I have them about a foot below eye level and off to the right of center.

I had never noticed it, so had to go check mine.  Yes, it does the same thing.

> What have others done to cure this?

I've never done anything, because I have never noticed it.  Now that I see it, I
can't imagine why it would be a problem, much less something that needs to be
fixed.  Actually, I wish they all had a little light outlining them, and even a
backlit label, so they could be found in low light.

BTW, my 500 is at eye level, looking right at me.

Re: [Elecraft] Will it work with all these connections?

[Bob]

Hi Walt,

Well close..  If by band decoder you mean the Elecraft KRC2,  I do have 
it but do not have any remote rig additions.  However, I do have the XV144 and 
XV432 plus the PR6.  Lot of Y's.


If the Panadapter will be the P3 it is on serial output from the K3 not 
the AUX from  the K3.


Only issue that I know of is that the external devices have to be 
powered first or the K3 can hang up when turned on.


73,
Bob

I would believe so since the P3 is daisy chained into the Serial port  not the 
AUX port

[Elecraft] KPA500 - Light leaking around the Buttoms

[Harry Yingst via Elecraft]

My KPA500 has light from the LCD display leaking around the HV and Current 
buttons
I'm considering putting a strip of foam weather stripping between the buttons 
and the display to block it
What have others done to cure this?

Thank you

Re: [Elecraft] KX3-PX3-KXPA100 problem solved

[David F. Reed]

Thanks to suggestions from Dick Dievendorff, the problem seems to be an 
interaction between the XKPA100, and the software I was running, DXLab 
Suite, in particular Commander.  I had continuous interrogation turned 
on.  If the software was started before the station equipment, in 
confused the power-up of the KXPA100 which occasioned the other bad 
behavior.  By turning the continuous interrogation off, the order of 
power up and software does not affect things.

Folks,

up til today my combination in the subject line has worked 
flawlessly.  Today a couple of problems surfaced.
(1) the power switch on the PX3 is intermittent for ON, always works 
OFF.  In other words, it does not always power ON when asked to, but
always powers OFF when requested to.  Not a big deal, but would be 
nice to fix...


(2) the KXPA100 would not come on; in trying to track it down, I 
observe that the PA mode in the KX3 was OFF; setting it to ON, the
KXPA100 turns on, and the Sys Fault LED flashes, then it turns off the 
KX3 PA mode and itself OFF.  Big deal, and would love to fix it.


I have rechecked all the cabling and removed and reinserted it i to no 
avail.


Thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks & 73 de Dave, W5SV

[Elecraft] K3 birth announcement

[Warren Merkel]

Announcing the arrival of a new K3 to this world.  #8902 was officially
brought into this world after 3 nights of light labor in kit building. 
Many thanks to Stephanie, Johanna, and Jashmin for accurately counting
all of those tiny nuts, bolts and washers packed in what seemed like a
hundred little envelopes and bags.  Only 2 little bolts were missing,
and were easily replaced from spares in the included extra parts bag.
(thanks for including that Wayne)

All seem to be well with the newborn after a minor visit to the ICU when
one of the TMP cables didn't want to seat correctly in the J92 connector
of the KRX3.  A note to the folks that will be assembling/adding the
KRX3 in the future, that J92 is mounted at a slight angle from the pcb,
and it is prudent to support the back edge of the TMP socket while
inserting the TMP cable connection.  In my case, the connector started
to pull up from the pcb so a small resolder operation of the ground
connection was in order.  All is well and the newborn K3 has exited the
recovery room and has entered the world.  How appropriate it was that my
first contact with the new rig was with another K3 owner.

Happy Pi Day to all,

Warren, KD4Z
K3 #8902

Re: [Elecraft] On rare occasions the T1 freezes when tuning in 40 meters

[Jose Campione]

On closer examination it was found that the BNC connector for the antenna was
lose (i.e., both pins were moving inside their soldered sockets).
Re-soldering these contacts seems to have resolved the problem.
