Re: [Elecraft] k3 Mic gain self resetting to 1
Why take out the 2nd radio? The problem is in the configuration of the software on the computer. Victor 4X6GP On Sat, Jun 17, 2023, 06:26 Russ Edelen wrote: > Thanks Victor, you called it.

Re: [Elecraft] k3 Mic gain self resetting to 1
Thanks Victor, you called it. Started the K3 and it started with the correct mic controls. Booted the computer and started DXLab modules and the mic gain reverted to 1. Now I know where to look. Will start by removing the second radio, which installed when I sent the K3 back to Elecraft, and go over the configuration again. Thanks for the suggestion. 73 Russ KG7VQ __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] When/where was recent officialupdate (from WA6HHQ?) on K3 option last time buy ship status?
Dave, Below are WA6HHQ's posts regarding the K3 options shipping schedule. I hope that this gives you the clarity that you're looking for! On the two year anniversary of my order I emailed the sales department. I was told that my order is still pending and to look for updates on the list and newsletter.

Re: [Elecraft] When/where was recent officialupdate (from WA6HHQ?) on K3 option last time buy ship status?
Eric posted to this forum in early March 2023. I believe his estimates of availability for various modules are reflected in the current Shipping Status information on the Elecraft web page. Suffice to say that only a few module types have shipped at this juncture. Some of his estimates were in retrospect optimistic (no criticism implied or intended). 73, Mike, K8CN (awaiting KPA3A 100 watt module myself) __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Re: [Elecraft] k3 Mic gain self resetting to 1
Try this: shut down the computer, and turn the gain (etc.) to their correct settings. Then turn the K3 off and on again. Do the settings reset? If so, the problem is in the K3. If not, it has something to do with the computer and the program. 73, Victor, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel Formerly K2VCO CWops no. 5 http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ On 16/06/2023 20:54, Russ Edelen wrote: Some further info.

Re: [Elecraft] k3 Mic gain self resetting to 1
I forgot to add -- It's also possible (probable?) that your computer program is doing it. Plug in a key or mic and try transmitting without the computer connected. 73, Victor, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel Formerly K2VCO CWops no. 5 http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ On 16/06/2023 16:46, Russ Edelen wrote: After returning from Elecraft for repair and updating my K3 (1087) will reset it's Mic gain to 1 and Compression to zero.

This is a barefoot setup with computer logging/control feeding a 178 foot extended zepp with 450 ohm twin lead. Is this a symptom of RFI to the radio? Anyone have any suggestions?

Re: [Elecraft] k3 Mic gain self resetting to 1
You can determine if it's caused by RFI very easily. Try transmitting into a dummy load. 73, Victor, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel Formerly K2VCO CWops no. 5 http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ On 16/06/2023 16:46, Russ Edelen wrote: After returning from Elecraft for repair and updating my K3 (1087) will reset it's Mic gain to 1 and Compression to zero.
