Re: [Elecraft] Odd KX3 Behavior

[David Anderson]

This is changeable, but not intuitive to find.

>From the manual:
The KX3 can automatically offset the VFO frequency when you switch from SSB to 
CW mode, so other stations will hear the correct CW pitch. See MENU:CW WGHT for 
details.



Under the CW WGHT info on Page 37:

You are looking for the VFO offset setting :

Tap5to select automatic VFO offset on SSB/CW mode change (VFO OFS) or 
no offset (VFO NOR, default). Automatic offset is often used on 6 meters, where 
mixed-mode QSOs are necessary during fading. Note: Pitch matching will be more 
accurate if USB is paired with CW REV, and LSB with CW normal. 

Hope that helps!

Re: [Elecraft] K3S and P3 TX Monitoring

The SVGA has always had a different display from the P3. For one 
thing, there is the decoded CW/digital at the bottom. Being able 
to TX monitor on the SVGA may be a future firmware upgrade for 
the SVGA.

One point to emphasize about the P3 transmit 
monitor is that it is not dependent on the K3s - 
it works just fine with a K3.


The 2 kW sensor works well at lower power 
levels.  The modulation envelope display 
auto-scales and gives a good clean display down 
to a few watts with the 2 kW sensor.  You can 
set the "analog meter" full-scale to 20W, 120W, 
200W, 700W, 1200W or 2000W (and 1/10 those 
values for the 200W sensors).

That is not correct grammar.  "K3's" is a contraction meaning
"K3 is" or is the possessive as in "the K3's tuning knob".

If anything, one probably needs to use or spell out "multiple

Re: [Elecraft] K3S vs K3 - upgradability

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

On 2015-05-14 3:41 PM, Ross Primrose wrote:


I got the impression that new KBPF3As will have the necessary parts of
the mod, but as I recall when the mods were described a few weeks back
that there were changes that would also need to be made to the RF board
& KRX3.  Hopefully in the next few days there will be some clarification
on exactly what a K3 (no S) owner with no KBPF3s and the old synth(s)
needs to actually buy/mod to get on the bands below 500kHz...


To get on 630 meters no changes are likely to be needed.  The existing
KBPF3 is good down to 250 KHz or so and the internal noise is below the
"sky noise" there.  To get reasonable receive performance at 137 KHz,
both the filter and bypass mods (RF board/KRX3) will probably be needed.

I'm hoping that the bypass mods are a substantial portion of the "lower
RF and digital noise" in the new K3S RF board.  It would be a shame if
one needed to replace the K3 with a K3S because of a significant change
there.

[Elecraft] K3s question

[Outlook.com via Elecraft]

For reasons unknown to me, I am unable to view the K3s DATASHEET or FAQ.  
Looking at the review of the K3s photo I see a USB connector and an Ethernet 
connector labeled as rs232/P3.  Am I correct?  For those that can read the 
datasheet and/or FAQ, what does the USB do and what does the Ethernet connector 
do?  I am not a computer wizard so be gentle.

[Elecraft] KAT3A

[Jerry Holcomb]

I am the proud owner of K3/10  #8972, recently upgraded with the KPA3.

 

Two questions:

 

Has the KPA3 been upgraded to new PA finals? It would appear so with a
Mitsubishi device rather than the Toshiba.

 

Is the KAT3A compatible with the K3 as that is my next upgrade?

[Elecraft] The New K3S to the Old K3

[William Levy]

The amount of difference between both will only be noticed by those who
have the gear to measure it or an engineering degree.

The Collins KWM2A was modified continuously over it's 25 year or more build
life.
In those days there was always a final resistor that went in to the box
after all the tests were made and then after the resistor box was removed
the last resistor went in so the radio could meet it's measured specs.
Audio boxes were made the same way. So each was different because all those
5% resistors were all a bit different so each radio was always just a bit
different.

What I am trying to say is that there ain't much difference here beween the
3 and 3S.

However getting a transmit monitor and wattmeter on the PT3 is a vast
improvement for very little money.

I ordered a pair of new synthesizer board just so I could A/B two radios
and see if I could tell the difference. I will let you all know after a
test drive or two!


I started with crystals and DX60B so their is just no comparison to
incremental changes by Elecraft.

It is the radio of choice by the cognoscenti. Of this I have no doubt.

All best guys. N2WL Bill
