Re: [Elecraft] K3 Accessory Y Cable?

Both Cable Wholesale ($3.72) and Altex ($7.99) are substantially
less expensive than Winford ($17.30) and Array Solutions ($15.00).

I believe that Elecraft used to sell a Y cable for connecting from the
accessory socket on the K3 to both the KPA1500 and a RemoteRig radio side
box.

I no longer see this on the Elecraft site.

Anybody have a source for these?

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

[kevinr]

Good Evening,

  I had to move from the announced frequencies slightly to accommodate 
all of the contesters on both 20 and 40 meters.  Both bands had a lot of 
noise but the signals were clear.  Only a few stations were effected by 
QSB.  The sun angle is changing rapidly as summer departs and autumn 
begins.  It won't be long before the first frost.



  On 14051 kHz at 2200z:

K6XK - Roy - IA

K4TO - Dave - KY

W2HZ - Fred - AZ


  On 7045.5 kHz at z:

K6PJV - Dale - CA

K0DTJ - Brian - CA

WM5F - Dwight - ID


  My goal for the week is to keep processing wood.  It will be a while 
before I get close to the bottom of the tree.  I am getting twelve 
chunks to each round now how many will I get out of the lowest levels?


   73,

   Kevin.  KD5ONS

Re: [Elecraft] VX commands don't work

[Kidder, George]

Hi Dick,

Problem there is that I would have to "press" or "not press" depending 
on current state of VOX, and the macro generator (FLDIGI) does not have 
that sort of programming ability - at least I don't think so.

But a good thought.

Re: [Elecraft] VX commands don't work

[Kidder, George]

Thanks for the prompt reply, Don.

Humm. My copy of the Programmer's Reference, (Rev.G1, March 16, 2017) 
says on p28
"VX (VOx State; GET/SET on K3, GET only on KX2 and KX3)"

Guess I have encountered a "feature".  No problem - if it's not, it's not.

But maybe you can “press” the VOX button with SWH or SWT.
I’m away from my station so I can’t try it right now.

Re: [Elecraft] VX commands don't work

George,

The VX command is "GET" only, so you can determine the VOX status, but 
you cannot SET it.

See the K3 Programmer's Reference Manual.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 AGC off mutes audio?

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

Yea will it caught me one time as well.   I guess I'm one that runs AGC 
either F or S depending on mode.  With the good roofing filters in the 
radio, I rarely have AGC pumping issues from strong stations that are of 
any concern.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 AGC off mutes audio?; DO A BACKUP TO PRESERVE SETTINGS

[Bill Johnson]

This is why keeping a backup can be the best tool of the bunch.  You run into 
an issue, reload the backup.  Then erroneous settings made in haste or error 
can be fixed.  Now that you have fixed and radio is running as you want, do a 
backup.  Sometimes glitches get into the mix for no good reason, do a backup.  
Install it first to fix the settings.  Will save yourself lots of grief in the 
future.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 AGC off mutes audio?

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

Check the AF LIM settings.  {page 57 in the manual}    Typical value is 
NOR 030.

Hi Conrad.
Here is the some situation.
I think in the K3 S-meter not in the AGC loop, have diff channel and 
detector  same as in the FT2000.

Check the setting of CONFIG:AF LIM.

[Elecraft] K3 Accessory Y Cable?

[Brian F. Wruble]

I believe that Elecraft used to sell a Y cable for connecting from the
accessory socket on the K3 to both the KPA1500 and a RemoteRig radio side
box.

I no longer see this on the Elecraft site.

Anybody have a source for these?

Tnx.  73 de Brian/W3BW

[Elecraft] K3 bias settings

[on4iq]

I'm thing to figure out the calibration difference on my K3's,  one of them,
the modest one, has rather high values when i run the calibration  feature.
It passes the calibration but the values are double of the other K3. This is
the mw calibration

Sending them in to factory is not really an option for me, so has anyone
bias settings for the transistor in the TX chain?
Have there been any design change from 2300 to 4500 series in the TX chain?

I  checked a 6000 series model, and that is pretty close to the 4500 series.

Others than these higher values the k3 is working like a charm.

Johan

Re: [Elecraft] K3s problem

[Christian Friess]

Perhaps it is still on transmit. A leaky USB-Cable is picking up RF and 
hold the PTT.


Just an idea...

I have had my K3s since January.  I use it exclusively on CW.  Twice in the
past ten days, in the middle of a QSO,  I can hear nothing when I stop
sending.  No background noise. No signal.  The quick fix is to turn the
unit off, then right back on.

There is at least an inch of cooling all around the radio.  I haven't ever
used it on digital. In other words, I don't think it is a heat problem.

Any thoughts?

thanks,
