Re: [Elecraft] [K3] I can't unlock the split VFO

[Robert G Strickland]

Thanks to all. The Elecraft community is the best.

NR4C had the secret answer. VFO LINK in the Config menu was "ON." 
Toggling it OFF unlinked the A/B VFO. As Bill points out, previous FW 
revisions could lock/unlock the two VFOs by holding the SUB button. 
That's been removed in the current FW. I remember locking them in the 
past, but no can do directly anymore. A macro is the only way to 
automate the linkage. Again, thanks to all who responded.

no joy. Directions appreciated. Thanks.

Re: [Elecraft] K144XV & KRX3A, install which first in K3s?

Carl,

Time to quiz Elecraft support on that.  I have very little experience 
with the internal transverters.

Re: [Elecraft] Price Increase Alert for mid October

[Georgek5kg via Elecraft]

Moving Elecraft to a lower-cost location is probably not feasible due to the 
disruption and cost of relocating the business and families.  Additionally, the 
challenge and cost of finding another location can alone be significant.  
However, it is a business decision, so the costs vs benefits could be weighed.

[Elecraft] KSYN3A Problem

[Ed Muns]

Earlier in the year I installed two KSYN3A boards in a K3 using FW 5.01.
The installation went fine and the radio has been used extensively all
year.  Yesterday, I updated the FW from 5.01 to 5.35 along with the later
DSP and FP versions.  I then restored a K3 Configuration I had saved prior
to the KSYN3A installation.  Now the radio won't receive or transmit and I
suspect this is due to it thinking the old KSYN3 boards are installed.  CONFIG
shows VCO MD and DDS FRQ values rather than dashes.  Also, DISP shows PLL1
and PLL2 rather than SYN1 and SYN2.

How do I fix this?

Re: [Elecraft] Price Increase Alert for mid October

[ae4pb]

Kent,

  No I haven't because there aren't many places with a higher standard of
living. In fact I don't know of any other area that enjoys high employment
rates in high paying positions, lower cost of living/taxes, lower crime. Why
would I want to move somewhere with higher taxes, crime, and unemployment?

 

If I could find the same or better standard of living elsewhere that also
afforded high employment and low crime I'd definitely consider it. 

 

CA is an excellent state to visit and I've worked for several companies
based there (including the US Navy). San Diego, LA. And the Long Beach are
all nice areas but expensive to live with higher crime rates. I don't know
much about Mo. as it's never mentioned in discussions about technology or
high paying jobs. In fact the only time I recall hearing about Mo. was
during the riots in Ferguson.

 

1.   Standard of living is not 1:1 with cost of living.

2.   Anything that increases the cost of doing business has the net effect
of increasing the cost of goods and services. 

3.   I see no reason why you assume and imply that my standard of living is
low. You obviously know nothing about me or the area in which I live. 

4.   If the job market were to dramatically change in a negative direction I
would re-locate. It's a matter of record that families from all over the
country ARE moving to my State/area due to higher standards of living with
lower costs of living.

 

 

Kent, at the end of the day the goal of a business is to make money. When
the cost of business rises then the company makes decisions to cut costs or
raise prices. In this case Elecraft has decided to raise prices. I want to
support them because they are US based and I appreciate the value they bring
up to a point. 

 

For me personally I paid the premium for the radio because I believe in the
company. 

Is it wrong for me to want the company to survive and ask if they considered
moving the company to lower their costs of doing business because they may
be struggling ? 2nd major jump in prices in less than a year?

 

If you were attempting to insult me then I apologize for taking your
question seriously. 

If your attempt was to insult then my answer to you is: "Bless your heart".

Re: [Elecraft] Price Increase Alert for mid October

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Actually, wage, facility and development costs are pretty comparable at our 
location to other states for our business.  Our HQ and manufacturing facility 
(we build all our radios here in CA) is located in a lower cost agricultural 
area of the state . (Watsonville and the Salinas Valley - Steinbeck country..), 
so our cost of living for manufacturing employees here for is substantially 
lower than other more populated areas of the state.  And we are not capital 
intensive, which insulates us from some of the tax costs in CA associated with 
larger industries. Outside of the major population hubs, the cost of operating 
a business here drops significantly. CA also has an aggressive R / 
manufacturing tax credit, which for our size of company, reduces our taxes 
-significantly-.  (Bigger industries probably max this credit out and end up 
paying higher taxes.)

Our primary cost increases have come from our component suppliers, many of whom 
are out of state. The wage and facility cost increases here have tracked those 
in our type of industry outside the state.

Our engineering team is located both here at HQ and up and down the west coast 
from Washington state to Arizona, which keeps those costs in control too.

We also benefit from an amazing number of engineers, suppliers, consultants and 
sub-contractors close by here who are related to the high tech industry, which 
allows us to quickly and economically develop and manufacture products.  That 
proximity is priceless and unique.  It is one of the reasons we have been 
successful for the past 16 years.

Nice to hear Eric,
My goal is to finish my K-Line without going off the books. I have the

Actually, wage, facility and development costs are pretty comparable at our
location to other states for our business.  Our HQ and manufacturing
facility (we build all our radios here in CA) is located in a lower cost
agricultural area of the state . (Watsonville and the Salinas Valley -
Steinbeck country..), so our cost of living for manufacturing employees here
for is substantially lower than other more populated areas of the state.
And we are not capital intensive, which insulates us from some of the tax
costs in CA associated with larger industries. Outside of the major
population hubs, the cost of operating a business here drops significantly.
CA also has an aggressive R / manufacturing tax credit, which for our size
of company, reduces our taxes -significantly-.  (Bigger industries probably
max this credit out and end up paying higher taxes.)

Our primary cost increases have come from our component suppliers, many of
whom are out of state. The wage and facility cost increases here have
tracked those in our type of industry outside the state.

Our engineering team is located both here at HQ and up and down the west
coast from Washington state to Arizona, which keeps those costs in control
too.

We also benefit from an amazing number of engineers, suppliers, consultants
and sub-contractors close by here who are related to the high tech industry,
which allows us to quickly and economically develop and manufacture
products.  That proximity is priceless and unique.  It is one of the reasons
we have been successful for the past 16 years.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Price Increase Alert for mid October

[Jerry Moore]

I respectfully disagree. Inflation is caused by devaluation of our currency
and anything that increases the costs of doing business without adding value
to the good or service being offered. Free enterprise on the other hand
tends to lower costs due to increased competition in the marketplace. Taxes,
regulatory compliance, and other costs PREVENT companies from entering the
marketplace or at least slow them down. Remember that business are not
charities. They exist to make a profit. If the profits are too low to be
worth-while then why enter the market?
The strength Elecraft brings is customer loyalty.

Not only that, but inflation, at roughly an average rate of 2 percent per year
is the target that the Fed is trying to achieve for producing a strong economy.

Re: [Elecraft] This Sunday's SSB Net Cancelled

[lmarion]

If there is interest, I could do a retro net from Montana.

By that I mean, back to what started it all.

A  QRP SSB 10 watts on my K2  SN 40.

On my 160 mtr loop  I will hear most of you and the 20 mtr beam is there to 
help you hear me.


Since the K2 has the capability to listen on the loop and xmit on the beam,

probably work most and with relays the rest.

What say ye?

[Elecraft] K3S - APF/RTTY question

[ae4pb]

I was trying to work K3P on 80m RTTY last night (new mode for me) and was
struggling to understand the owner's manual. I don't fully understand how to
get the dual APF to display correctly and setup. At one point the K3S
appeared be decoding correctly sometimes as I would sometimes see his call
and 599. I rarely saw the correct station he was calling and didn't
consistently copy.  I was never able to get HRD to copy any of it. I was in
Data mode and the CWT did show split tuning but I struggled to get the right
most set of bars to stay filled even after playing with the width/filter..

 

I'm sure this is just a learning process and I've tried several websites on
setting up for RTTY with no success. Anyone have a good guide on the K3/S
with/without HRD on RTTY?


Thanks in advance.

Agree with Jim.  As many downsides as there are to living in California, 
that area isn't one of them.
Looking forward to another visit to the factory next month, on the way 
to Pacificon.


However, also living in the Golden State, I get the dubious privilege of 
paying almost $200 in sales tax for my new K3S, even though I ordered it 
at the Huntsville Hamfest.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 waterfall curser operation

[Paul Saffren]

Hi Allan,

The short answer is that the hardware doesn't support it.  The long 
answer is that the video chip we are using on the SVGA accessory board 
limits us to how many "video layers" we can combine to produce the video 
image.  Overlaying the cursors on to the waterfall would require an 
additional layer which we do not have.

I was trying to work K3P on 80m RTTY last night
(new mode for me) and was struggling to understand
the owner's manual. I don't fully understand how
to get the dual APF to display correctly and
setup. At one point the K3S appeared be decoding
correctly sometimes as I would sometimes see his
call and 599. I rarely saw the correct station he
was calling and didn't consistently copy.  I was
never able to get HRD to copy any of it. I was in
Data mode and the CWT did show split tuning but I
struggled to get the right most set of bars to
stay filled even after playing with the
width/filter..

 

I'm sure this is just a learning process and I've
tried several websites on setting up for RTTY with
no success. Anyone have a good guide on the K3/S
with/without HRD on RTTY?


Thanks in advance.

Re: [Elecraft] Price Increase Alert for mid October

[David Gilbert]

I think you're grossly underestimating the disruptive cost of a move 
like that.  The loss of product flow (or at the very least the cost of 
the redundancy involved to avoid it, the massive time spent 
orchestrating such a move, the undefined cost of the probable loss of 
key personnel who probably would not join the move, the cost of 
retraining new manufacturing personnel, the potential cost of defective 
product caused by the move (it happens ... trust me) ... not to mention 
the transportation cost of the move itself.  All to react to cost 
increases from suppliers that have nothing to do with the location of 
the firm itself.


Defend it all you want, but it's a poorly considered proposal.

[Elecraft] [K3S] WinWarbler and RTTY (FSK)

[Bill Conkling]

I have been trying to get DXLabs (WinWarbler) to transmit FSK with no luck so 
far.  I believe I have the settings right but so far no diddles.  I hear a tone 
in the speaker and the TX LED lights up and the screen show that I am 
transmitting, but no power out.  I am sure it is something simple but I can’t 
seem to find it.  Oh, the screen also shows RTTY TX (Soundcard-FSK), and that 
seems wrong.

[Elecraft] Elecraft Pricing

[Dauer, Edward]

Businesses have the right to price their products as they think best and
customers have the right not to buy them.  If either side makes a mistake,
they lose - pretty much a self-correcting system when it¹s left alone
(i.e. barring unnecessary government interference.)  More to the immediate
point, I have absolutely no problem with price increases given the
extraordinary after-sale service Elecraft provides.  Help is available
long after the sale - this reflector being just one such source the
company sponsors.  Much of that after-sale service is free to the user,
though hardly cost-free to the provider.

I wish you can find a solution for this situation and things calm down.

I do understand prices could have to be revised and go up.

[Elecraft] experience with CW and settings

[KC6CNN]

I am looking for someone with more experience than me with using the K3 on
CW. 
I have my K3 set to about 75 percent RF gain, and the width set to around
300. 
ATT is off and Pre is off I do not have the dual filter on, and no afx on. I
can spot and decode signals if they are strong. If they are weak then I can
only decode with my ears. The THR setting when you hold down the CWT button
is set on 3. If I set to auto is just sits there and runs jumble letters
across the vfo b screen. 

Any help with good setting I can try would be appreciated. 
Thanks

Re: [Elecraft] experience with CW and settings

[Bill Conkling]

My experience with CW decode is:

Try setting the THR to 2.  Now, with the CWT enabled press the SPOT button and 
the little signal marker should align with the index mark.  And, the marker 
should flash in step with the audio CW signal.  If it stays on too much, set 
THR up to 3, or vice versa,  If you can’t find a THR setting that is right, set 
it to a setting that keeps the little marker ON too long, and adjust RF gain 
CCW until the marker keeps step with the CW audio.  Yu should get good decode 
at this setting.  Decode will only work if the receiver is tuned spot on to the 
signal and the marker is flashing every dit nd dah.

Thank all of you both on list and off list that sent me info. 
I am going to try these different settings and see which ones work for me. 
I am a believer that the decoding in the head is the best, but after a long
time of not using it, I am having to relearn code all over again. It is
starting to make sense. hihi who said you cant teach a old dog new tricks. 
Thanks again for all the help.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S - APF/RTTY question

[ae4pb]

If I understand the question I'm in data AFSK A 45wpm, connected to HRD
DM780, I can hear the RTTY on both the radio and computer, I think I have
the radio tuned correctly because the Text is about 70-80% correct, I'm
seeing callsign and report most of the time. Computer shows no data, I've
done 45 FSK, 45 AFSK , both reverse, I'm not sure what I'm transmitting when
I try that as I can't hear it. I found the APF button, it was hidden right
in front of me :)

I did notice at first that I did NOT have RTTY audio at the computer.
There's a bug in the audio device settings where changing the sample rate
"fixes" it. Now I have RTTY audio but still no text..

On my earlier concern about possibly damaging something when connecting USB
and RS232: I opened up and removed all of the I/O boards, they all passed
the visual and sniff test, main board top and bottom pass visual and pass
sniff test. I have noticed that my Mag Loop controller is acting funny so
maybe I'll get lucky and that is it.

Jer,

Which DATA sub-mode were you in?  For RTTY, you would normally be in AFSK A
and then you could activate the dual tone filter.  I believe most use MMTTY
for RTTY, but HRD/DM780, Fldigi and other waterfall oriented software can
work as well.
In AFSK A (or FSK D) the K3 is in LSB (normal for RTTY) unless you activate
REV, and the K3 dial frequency is the mark frequency.  Make certain that the
mark frequency and rate in the K3 menu agree with your software application
settings.

Other soundcard data modes normally use DATA A where USB is the normal
sideband.

[Elecraft] [OT] Keyboards

[Bill Frantz]

In a thread "Touch-screen displays" on 9/3/15 at 11:28 PM, 
fra...@pwpconsult.com I wrote:


What I have noticed over the years is that the UI hardware has 
gotten worse. Keyboards are the most obvious example. I am a 
good touch typist. When I started to learn CW (for the third 
time), I decided to use a keyboard rather than trying to write 
with a pencil, since I can type considerably faster than I can 
write. I quickly discovered that the keyboard on my Mac laptop 
wasn't good enough for fast typing. I bought a HP keyboard 
which isn't as good as the old IBM Selectric keyboards, but is 
better than the Mac keyboard. All the touch screen keyboards I 
have used have been much worse than either of these two keyboards.


One of the other readers of this list sent me a pointer to 
Unicomp , which sells keyboards with 
real tactile feedback. I fired off an order for a Buckling 
Spring USB keyboard with a Macintosh layout. Slow USPS delivery 
took about a week, but the resulting keyboard is very nice. I 
get fewer errors copying W1AW code practice at 13 and 15 WPM (my 
current speed limit). The general feel is very nice. If you want 
a nicer feeling keyboard then the OEM one, they cost $80 to $110 
or so depending on features.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S - APF/RTTY question

[Wes (N7WS)]

I find HRD overly complicated so I don't use it, and cannot speak to how to set 
it up.


I use a variant of MMTTY that is designed to interface with DXBase, my logging 
program.  MMTTY would be setup the same.


I use AFSK A and low tones, 915 Hz, and set up MMTTY accordingly. Make sure 
whatever decoder you use is set to TX and RX using whatever tones you set the K3 to.


Turn off the dual filter, it's mostly useless and set your RX bandwidth to 400 
Hz.  Some folks want to use narrower BW, but there is little, if anything, to be 
gained by this.


Worry about decoding the DX station.  You don't care what the other guys are 
sending. and trying to tune them to decode them is unnecessary.  Here is where a 
P3 or other bandscope shines over a second RX, all IMHO of course.


Wes  N7WS  242 DXCC countries on RTTY all worked with a K3.

On 9/24/2015 9:35 AM, ae...@carolinaheli.com wrote:

I was trying to work K3P on 80m RTTY last night (new mode for me) and was

appeared be decoding correctly sometimes as I would sometimes see his call
and 599. I rarely saw the correct station he was calling and didn't
consistently copy.  I was never able to get HRD to copy any of it. I was in
Data mode and the CWT did show split tuning but I struggled to get the right
most set of bars to stay filled even after playing with the width/filter..

  


I'm sure this is just a learning process and I've tried several websites on
setting up for RTTY with no success. Anyone have a good guide on the K3/S
with/without HRD on RTTY?


Thanks in advance.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3S] WinWarbler and RTTY (FSK)

[KK1W]

Bill,

How are you doing PTT? Using FSK I believe you will have to assert PTT via
the 15 pin ACC connector? I'm using an adapter made and sold by W1AN. It
connects to the K3S ACC port and a standard COM cable to the PC.

I have RTTY FSK working successfully with Winwarbler and a K3S. If you don't
get yours working contact me directly via email and I'll send you screen
shots of my Winwarbler settings.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 New kio board

[Bill Conkling]

I suspect they will offer it when they have a quantity available over and above 
those needed for K3S sales.  As to the price increase, most of the increases so 
far have been on the big items, mostly the radios.  Little stuff doesn’t change 
a whole lot.

[Elecraft] Another Elecraft price increase...

[Tom Fitzgerald via Elecraft]

"We have hit the point where we will be increasing prices slightly on a number 
of our products by about the middle of October."

Hm...again eh? Seems like everything is going up except wages for the American 
worker. Seems they stopped going up about inauguration 1980 & that gap just 
started getting bigger & bigger. I hope I live long enough to see Americans 
"just say no" about this absurd situation. I guess I haven't got there yet 
since we just bought a new 2016 Honda for the wife a few weeks ago but I'm 
getting there. I think I got there with ham radio awhile ago. Someone remarked 
about college tuition, new cars & the grocery store and instructed us to quit 
whining. Hilarious advice really. Yes America, just take it and keep on taking 
it. We plan to make more cuts & lower your wages even more, certainly not raise 
them and the CEO's...They only make 300 times or more what the worker bee 
does...they need a raise and a tax cut! So buck up! Quit whining! Buy it or 
don't! We don't care! 

I say don't.

I respectfully disagree. Inflation is caused by devaluation of our currency
and anything that increases the costs of doing business without adding value
to the good or service being offered. Free enterprise on the other hand
tends to lower costs due to increased competition in the marketplace. Taxes,
regulatory compliance, and other costs PREVENT companies from entering the
marketplace or at least slow them down. Remember that business are not
charities. They exist to make a profit. If the profits are too low to be
worth-while then why enter the market?
The strength Elecraft brings is customer loyalty.

[Elecraft] K3 Hum on mic between 2 rigs

[Dan Atchison via Elecraft]

I built a nice boom microphone switch to swap my Heil PR781 between my 
K3S and my K3.  The switchbox uses XLR connectors so I can use the Heil 
K3 "proper" cables to each rig.  I bought a regular XLR extension cable 
for the mic to swithbox.


Well, I used a DPDT switch to switch both pins 1 and 2.  Hum. Then I 
used a 3PDT switch for switching all pins, 1, 2, 3.  Hum.


Notice both Heil cables have outer shell at rig tied to mic low. Don't 
wanna cut this wire, or should I?


Now all this said, I am powering each rig from a separate power supply.  
My question is, before I go to the expense of purchasing a power supply 
large enough to power box rigs at the same time, will this eliminate my 
hum or ground loop?


Thanks in advance.

73,
Dan

Re: [Elecraft] experience with CW and settings

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

I agree with Bill's suggestions.  I do find the value of THR is somewhat 
dependent on RF Gain.   Thus more atmospheric noise / static bursts the 
higher value for THR.  In this case reducing RF Gain helps.  This 
evening the RF Gain, hr on 80M, is setting between the 1 o'clock and 2 
o'clock position or the first dot to the right of the 12 o'clock 
position.And yes do use the SPOT function to accurately tune the 
receiver to the incoming signal.  Also I use Fast ACG for CW.


As to WIDTH I use 0.50 and SHIFT at 0.70 for CW.With this and the 
above, i get very fewT T ** E E E * E  in the display.

My experience with CW decode is:

Try setting the THR to 2.  Now, with the CWT enabled press the SPOT button and 
the little signal marker should align with the index mark.  And, the marker 
should flash in step with the audio CW signal.  If it stays on too much, set 
THR up to 3, or vice versa,  If you can’t find a THR setting that is right, set 
it to a setting that keeps the little marker ON too long, and adjust RF gain 
CCW until the marker keeps step with the CW audio.  Yu should get good decode 
at this setting.  Decode will only work if the receiver is tuned spot on to the

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Price Increase Alert for mid October

[Julio César García Mahillo]

I am a lover of Elecraft products,   I even had the opportunity of seeing  how 
engineers work and  visited the HQ.They all do an excellent work!!

I wish you can find a solution for this situation and things calm down.

I do understand prices could have to be revised and go up. 

Elecraft is outstanding quality, and you have to pay for it.
That is how things are.

All the best for Elecraft team.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S - APF/RTTY question

[ae4pb]

I think I got it working. I changed the K3S Settings to 915 - 170 and
HRD/DM780 started decoding correctly. I was able to work N3P successfully
..TYTYTYTY... 
What threw me off was that the K3S was decoding correctly anytime I had the
tuning close but I wasn't getting anything (not even garbage) on the
computer. I'm about ready to wipe Windows 10 and go back to win 7. Actually
with the way I operate I could almost ONLY use the laptop for logging and do
the rest by ear or at the K3!

Re: [Elecraft] experience with CW and settings

[Fred Jensen]

I think your question is really related to the CW decode function rather 
than using the K3 on CW.


I am probably 90% CW, ~3% SSB [Sweepstakes, NAQP's, and RAC's], and the 
rest RTTY.  This is probably going to touch off a storm on the list, but 
here goes:


I run the RF gain full clockwise, always, I don't even know if the knob 
moves, never tried, never understood the "ride the RF gain argument." 
The K3's AGC is superb and far better than anything I can do. 
Admittedly, it is highly tailorable [maybe a tad too many settings], but 
once I got it where I liked it, I haven't touched it in several years 
[S/N 642 here].  True even when I had KF6T running 1.5 KW 1.7 km from 
me.  I have the "stock" 2.7 KHz [I think] and a 500 Hz roofing filters. 
 I could cuddle up to within 1 KHz of Jack and not hear him.


Preamp is on for 21 MHz and above, off below.  Attenuator is off for 7 
MHz and above, on for 5, 3.5, and 1.8 MHz.  That configuration depends 
some on your ambient noise levels, mine were moderate until we just 
moved, now they're fairly low.


I copy CW the old fashioned way, but I have tried the decoder out of 
curiosity.  Does well on moderately good signals with reasonable sending 
habits.  A SNR of about 4 S-units seems to work fine.  Gets a little 
sketchy with occasional errors [usually in key up periods] below that, 
and pretty much fails if the SNR is around 1 S-unit or less.  I can 
still copy the signal fine at those levels.  I can't remember what I 
used for THRESHOLD, but as I remember at one number nothing decoded and 
at the next one it decoded fine.


The horizontal scroll did tend to cage my eyeballs after a bit. :-)

My K3 was essentially fully operational right after assembly, using all 
the default settings.  I set up my TX EQ using advice from K9YC, and I 
often get unsolicited "great audio" comments in the 3% SSB time.  I lost 
most of my hearing many years ago, and I've got the RX EQ simulating the 
response of my hearing aids [as much as it can], which helps a lot.

I am looking for someone with more experience than me with using the K3 on
CW.
I have my K3 set to about 75 percent RF gain, and the width set to around
300.
ATT is off and Pre is off I do not have the dual filter on, and no afx on. I
can spot and decode signals if they are strong. If they are weak then I can
only decode with my ears. The THR setting when you hold down the CWT button
is set on 3. If I set to auto is just sits there and runs jumble letters
across the vfo b screen.

Any help with good setting I can try would be appreciated.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 New kio board

[Matthew Cook]

Eric & Wayne,

Might be an idea to see how many K3 owners will be wanting to install
KIO3B's and pre-order a suitable qty from your supplier.  I'm sure there
will be a run on these board just like the new VCO.  I'm also sure that
many on this list would simply pre-pay the full amount or a deposit to
secure units (we are all waving our hands at you here !).

Both the new KIO3B and KXV3B board are two very worthwhile additions for
K3's owners.   There are at least 4 VK's in my club simply waiting with
cash in hand to procure both of these options in one go as soon as both are
available.

Early Xmas present please ?!?

I respectfully disagree. Inflation is caused by devaluation of our currency
and anything that increases the costs of doing business without adding value
to the good or service being offered. Free enterprise on the other hand
tends to lower costs due to increased competition in the marketplace. Taxes,
regulatory compliance, and other costs PREVENT companies from entering the
marketplace or at least slow them down. Remember that business are not
charities. They exist to make a profit. If the profits are too low to be
worth-while then why enter the market?
The strength Elecraft brings is customer loyalty.

Anyone heard of a release date for those wishing to upgrade their k3 to have the USB option?


An email to Elecraft direct went unanswered.

Re: [Elecraft] experience with CW and settings

[KC6CNN]

I found an article by Tony McClenny, N3ME that stated in part:
 
"CW Operation:
Wayne (N6KR) provides the following for anyone using the K3 to decode CW.
"If you're seeing E's and T's, try using a much narrower bandwidth, 50-150
Hz, and turn on the noise blanker to reduce the level of impulse noise. I
recommend using THR 2 or 3 for most signals, and THR 1 for very weak
signals. These fixed settings usually work better than AUTO.
When there is no CW signal above the required threshold, you'll see random
characters decoded"

I am trying some of the suggestions both on and off list. 
I guess much depends on my area noise, antenna and there is not one size
fits all settings. 
I appreciate all the help and suggestions. It gives me things to try and see
what works for me. 
Now if I can get every one to zero beat me. hihi I call cq and it seems like
the guys that have to really try to go slow for me get right on zero beat.
Then there are those that I have to hit the rit button and seems like I spin
the rit knob like crazy. So I am now being cautious and trying to zero beat
each person I answer. 
Thanks again everyone for all the help and suggestions.

Eric & Wayne,


Might be an idea to see how many K3 owners will be wanting to install KIO3B's 
and pre-order a suitable qty from your supplier.  I'm sure there will be a run 
on these board just like the new VCO.  I'm also sure that many on this list 
would simply pre-pay the full amount or a deposit to secure units (we are all 
waving our hands at you here !).


Both the new KIO3B and KXV3B board are two very worthwhile additions for K3's 
owners.   There are at least 4 VK's in my club simply waiting with cash in hand 
to procure both of these options in one go as soon as both are available.


Early Xmas present please ?!?

The KIO3B price will not be impacted by the price adjustments.
