I would recommend that you build the circuit shown on Tom Hammond N0SS (SK) website at http://www.mmccs.com/mmarc/n0ss/index_k2.html. Since Tom is SK, no boards are available, but the circuit is easy enough to build on perfboard. Just follow Tom's board layout which is clearly identified full scale on his website and connect the wires. If you have the capabilities for etching your own board, the process is easy since Tom provided full scale images of his board. I have built several of the perfboard verions of that circuit and they work fine. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/20/2016 9:25 AM, lstavenhagen wrote: > Hi all, > May be a bit silly of a question, but how well does the KXPA 100 work with > the K3 or K3S 10W model?

You probably want a professional unit, but "suitable" will depend a lot on what she can comfortable wear. Some givens. A professional microphone will have balanced wiring, and most will be electret condenser mics that require phantom power. They will also require a preamplifier, and many such preamps provide phantom power. Most pro headworn mics do NOT come with headphones. Professional "headworn" microphones are used by performers, preachers, exercise instructors, and are generally quite lightweight. They are often used with wireless mic transmitters, and there are unbalanced versions for this use. Depending on what she can wear and/or tolerate, she can choose from separate headphones and a headworn mic, or those with a boom mic attached. Sennheiser makes a very nice boom headset, but it's fairly heavy (rather like Yamaha CM500). I've not worn one of them, but Sennheiser is a great company and I suspect they are quite comfortable. They're not cheap. There's another interesting option. Tascam, a major mfr of semi-pro audio gear, now makes some rather nice USB audio interfaces that have inputs for both balanced and unbalanced mics and headphone outputs. They would work well with a low cost set like the CM500, and also with the Sennheiser, because it provides phantom power for pro mics. They do NOT provide bias for unbalanced mics (like the CM500). Yet another option. Virtually any unbalanced mic can be used with a pro wireless mic system, and these systems DO provide bias for electret mics. The headphones, or in-ear phones, could be wired, or could be used with a wireless receiving system. Several companies make them, including Shure and Comtek. Those used by performers are called "in-ear monitors" and those used by broadcasters are called IFB systems (that's what you see newcasters wearing). I'm copying this to a pro audio colleague who may be able to help you. Ray Rayburn is an audio systems design consultant who has designed sound systems for many churches, and for both houses of Congress. He also sells inexpensive mics and wireless mic systems, mostly to churches. Ray is also a ham. Michael Petersen, an applications engineer at Shure, would also be a good resource. You can reach him through their main number. 73, Jim K9YC __ 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 __ 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

Since you say it won't work with either the K3 Utility or MLDX I wonder if it has worked with anything else. What type of adaptor are you using (Prolific, FTDI, etc.)? Have you installed the appropriate driver? What version of OSX are you using on your mini?

[Elecraft] [K3] Stuck in Transmit
My K3/10 is stuck in transmit. I recently changed power strip/surge protector for the power supply to a strip that uses one of the pieces of equipment as a control to turn all the others on and off. I have my Mac Mini as the control piece of equipment with the monitor and printer power controlled by the computer. The Astron RS-35M, which supplies power to the K3, is in a non-switched plug on the power strip. I have read the K3 Owners Manual and can not find any solution for the problem. I have checked that K3 is not in VOX, and that the PTT is not stuck. Additionally, if I go into the MENU or CONFIG modes, the VFO B knob does not change the display, so I cannot check the configuration. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 73 de Dave KJ6CBS __ 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

[Elecraft] Data Modes Software for Mac
Thinking about trying data modes (RTTY and PSK31) with my new K3. Does anyone have any recommendations for software for Mac OS X for data modes? Using a Mac Mini with my K3 Utility program. 73s de Dave KJ6CBS __ 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

Thanks for the info Jim. Although not blind, I am somewhat sight impaired. Only thing with the software on the Elecraft site is that it is for PC, and I use a Mac Mini. Anybody know a way to get the same thing on my Mac? 73s de Dave Guernsey KJ6CBS __ 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
