[Elecraft] [K3]WTB:K3/100 unloaded

[Petr, OK1RP/M0SIS]

Hi folks, 

I am looking for used, unloaded K3/100 in perfect, working conditions (no 
surprises please). Just basic older but fully working, nice K3/100 is ok. 
Price is the key in that case. 
Many thanks for offers.

73 - Petr, OK1RP

[Elecraft] K3 receiver IMD

[Benny Aumala]

FUNKAMATEUR 4-2018 has interesting article by OE3HKL for

broadbad impulse measurements of RX IMD.

Arrangements are interesting and elaborate, but result is simple:

K3 compared to other commercial equipments is absolute winner.

Compared to RX/OE3HKL, FT-1000 Field, IC-751A, IC-7300.

Re: [Elecraft] Any KPA1500 received that were ordered after, 1st day

[Bob via Elecraft]

More likely our sun will be a red giant star before the KPA1500 arrives.  Don't 
know if it will even have sunspots left.

[Elecraft] K3 audio line in/out cables

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

Tony:

Only need one USB cable  between the radio and computer.  Audio TO/FROM 
and CAT commands are handled over one cable.  Works great!   If you plug 
anything into the rear Line, it will disconnect the audio via the USB 
cable.

I have upgraded both of my K3's to make them as close to a K3S as best I
can. Presently cleaning up the rats nest of cables. I am using USB.

I no longer use the Line IN and OUT jacks.  Presently only using FSK. I plan
on adding FT8 shortly. With the on board CODECs is there any reason I still
need the LINE cables? Want to check to makes sure I am not missing
something.

Ed,
I had 70F2 Ghz stuff & later 79F2 2Ghz
I worked for a natural gas pipeline company back in the day. Took care of 7 
of 27 hops along a 600 mile route from Red Desert in WY to Hesston, Kansas 
where it joined our mainline. Also installed 6 VHF repeater w/autopatches a 
very big deal in 1979...

Re: [Elecraft] Kpa1500 PSU orientation?

[Torrey Mitchell]

After discussing it with Elecraft, I keep my KPA-1500 PS front panel down.
I place a small book between the front panel and the floor of my shack.
This prevents any pressure on the three green lights protruding a little
from the panel.  This configuration allows full ventilation access and
facilitates routing the cables to the amplifier (they face upwards to the
amp).  Also allows easy access to the PS ON/OF switch.

I keep the KPA1500 PSU on its side feet when in operation under my desk. 

These feet are pretty thin. Should I put additional spacer boards beneath
them to create more depth for airflow?

Re: [Elecraft] Macbook Pro, K3, FT 8 audio quits

[Neil Zampella]

Just a heads up ... on WSJT-X, there is an updated v1.9.0-RC3 on K1JT's 
website that WILL be needed for the 'Fox & Hounds' live test this coming 
Saturday, April 7th.   It has many fixes for the DXpedition mode.

There have been several reports of "strange things happening" with WSJT-X from

Windows users do not seem to have similar problems.

Maybe the MAC is like my new car, its computer thinks it is smarter than I am.

Re: [Elecraft] Any KPA1500 received that were ordered after 1st day?

[Thomas Schaefer]

Thanks for the update. That is exactly what I needed.

As the point of my message seems to have been lost on many responding, allow me 
to clarify. I realize no amount of discussing where the amp is will get it here 
any faster. That was not the point. I simply suggested it was a question I had 
every time a new “Amp received” message was posted.  It was to satisfy my 
curiosity which several hams are doing.

I also had a reason to ask in that I help maintain a contest station and a 
remote station. The amp factors into our plans so I was trying to get a sense 
of projects coming up towards the Fall and Winter contest season. If we are 
already ploughing through the orders from the second week, that tells me 
something different for station planning than where we are now about how many 
minutes into the first day. Amp #52 was ordered 15 minutes after. Amp #56 was 
ordered 43 minutes after the ordering started. And yes, I know that is not 
necessarily linear as ordered came in from multiple channels.

Lastly, I would rather wait for a great product and will wait as long as that 
takes because I trust Elecraft. The $6000 up front is not an issue as what else 
would it be doing except drawing ridiculous interest rates in a bank? Of 
course, if someone put the amp on a credit card and has been financing the 
purchase at 18%, then I could understand the consternation—but let’s hope no 
one that put a pre-purchase on a $6000 amp has to finance it long-term on a 
credit card :) 

Regards,

Tom NY4I

[Elecraft] Elecraft k3S and K3/0 Mini with remote rig

[Ron Gould]

I have a pair of remote rigs which I use to remotely control a Elecraft K3S via 
Elecraft K3/0 mini which I purchased from Elecraft.  Everything has been 
working fine until I had to reset my router, a Apple Time Capsule.  Now the  
remote rig just beeps at me and does not turn K3S on.  Documentation is 
difficult to find on exactly how to configure a Time Capsule to work with the 
remote rigs.  

I contacted Elecraft technical support but they referred me to manuals on 
remote rig and their K3 mini manual but I find little in the way of Mac support 
with a Apple router.  Elecraft says this is beyond their networking knowledge.  
I believe I have set the port forwarding up correctly but since documentation 
is limited, I am not sure I have done so correctly or have missed something.  
Hopefully someone out there has theirs up and running with Apple hardware and 
can advise or Elecraft can help better than they have. 73’s
