The price for the K2 is $900.00 firm plus $25 shipping. I also have available a Signalink USB digital interface with all required cables for digital mode operations.

Recently I sold my K3 and P3 to partially fund my new K4. I have set of barely used covers that are in excellent (dare I say new?) condition. The way I ended up arranging my equipment there was very little need to cover the various pieces. The covers were made by Pat Osborne, KI4RFT. They are made very high quality felt-backed black vinyl. Each cover is embroidered in gold with "ELECRAFT" and the equipment model. The four covers are for the: * K3 * P3 * KAT500 * KPA500 I want to sell them as a set, rather than messing around with multiple shipments. $50.00 will get you the complete set including shipping.

[Elecraft] KX3 Scanning - Dunce Cap is On
Thanks to those responding to my message, particularly Harry Mayer and Don Wilhelm. I simply misread (misunderstood) the Digital Modes section and thought I needed to set the mode to PSK D even when I was using a soundcard input/output and software, rather than using the KX3's display for received text and a paddle for transmit. When I corrected this, all worked fine. I needed to back off on my "speed reading" (meaning low comprehension) techniques! 73 de K6SBA David __ 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
[Elecraft] KX3 Unwanted Scanning
I decided to get my new (to me) KX3 going on psk31. I ordered the proper
cables from Elecraft. Plugged the cables into the KX3 ("red" cable go to the
Phones jack; "green" cable goes to the Mic jack). Put the radio in data
mode ("PSK D" selected). The radio begins to scan, and will not stop until
I unplug the green cable going to the Mic jack). I tried this set up with
two different external soundcards and well as the one internal to the Sony
laptop; no joy. I also tried different digital software programs to see if
that was the problem; still no joy.
I checked the archives and did find a mention to this problem in 2015 but no
definitive answer. I am sure I am overlooking the obviously. I will be
happy to put on my dunce cap, once someone can point me in the right
direction.

[Elecraft] In Praise of the K2
I have a 12-13 year old K2/100 that doesn't get use much any more except at occasional vacation rentals. I keep thinking it's time to sell it. In June, I sent it to Don Wilhelm to "tweak and peak" it. It came back from Don with a new alignment and a clean bill of health. Right now I have my K3 in pieces to do various upgrades, i.e., more filters and several "K3s upgrades." So the K2 is back in line plugged into my KPA-500 and KAT500 tuner. What a great little radio the K2 is! Sounds great, adequate filtering, and drives the KPA500 to full power with about 20-watts from the K2. I know there have been tons of technical improvements found in radios such as the K3 series and the KX3 (not to mention some other brands), but it is amazing how competent the K2 is. There is no way it can be considered obsolete. I think it going to stay in my shack for a lot longer! 73 de K6SBA David in Santa Barbara, CA __ 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

[Elecraft] K2 Question: Is the DSP Board a Worthwhile upgrade?
A friend has a fairly recent K2 with the KAF2 audio filter option. He asked me to remove the KAF2, build the KDSP2 board and install it in his K2. This got me to thinking: I also have a K2 wiht the KAF2 installed. My friend works mainly SSB; I work main CW and digital modes. Is the DSP board a significant improvement over the bare K2 or even with the KAF2 installed (which seems to be tailored for CW reception)? In general, radios that I have owned with AF DSP have been pretty much a disappointment. So is the KDSP2 a worthwhile and cost-effective upgrade? 73 de K6SBA David in Santa Barbara, CA __ 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

[Elecraft] K3 Power Output Issue after Firmware Update
I just updated the K3 firmware to 5.10 since I am about to order the new synth board. When I restarted the radio after the upload, the following problem occurred: When I press the TUNE button, the radio shows about 8 watts of power. If I turn the power control up, the display defaults back to 8 watts. In the config menu I have the tune power set to 20 watts. I reloaded the firmware to make sure there wasn't a glitch in the loading. The same problem still occurs. The only other troubleshooting I did was to change the TX ALC (in the config menu) to "OFF" When I tune up with the TX ALC off, I can get full power out from the radio, so I assume that I do not have a component failure problem. Has anyone experienced this or know of any settings which I may have inadvertently changed? 73 de K6SBA David in Santa Barbara, CA __ 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
[Elecraft] Remoting A KAT500
This topic may have been covered before, but I can't find it specifically in the archives. I am thinking of remoting my KAT500 ATU and using it at the base of a non-resonant vertical.

[Elecraft] KAT500 TUNER WOES
I have a fairly early KAT500 tuner (#275). I am using it to tune several antennas. Recently it has stopped finding acceptable matches to a ladderline-fed 110 ft. dipole. This problem is only on 40-meters. The SWR anywhere in that band is around 8:1. The tuner works great on all other bands (well, not so much on 160, but that's the antenna's problem). I also have a 43-ft vertical and the tuner matches fine on that antenna. I replaced all intervening coax jumpers and even the 1:1 current balun at the transition of the ladderline to the coax in the shack. None of the above help. Interestingly, when I bypass the KAT500 and enable the internal tuner in the K3, everything works fine, including matching 40-meters. I have also done a reset using the KAT500 utility program; still no help. Before, I tear into things or stop bothering the good people at Elecraft, I wonder if any in the group has any suggestions. 73 de K6SBA David in Santa Barbara, CA __ 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
[Elecraft] Triggering KPA500 from 2 Radios
I have been using my K3/KPA500 setup for quite sometime. I am using the standard cable between the K3 ACC port and the KPA500 AUX for communications between the radio and the amp. This has worked perfectly from the beginning. At some time in the past, I wanted to use my Yaesu MKV Field to excite the amp. I connected both radios tho the KPA500 through a 2-position coax switch. I also connect a cable from the MKV to the KPA PA. KEY jack. When I switched the amp from standby to operate, there was a huge attenuation of the MKV's received signal. When I unplugged the K3-KPA AUX cable the problem went away. The received signal level was fine and the amp produced +/-500 watts with about 40 watts of drive from the MKV. An earlier message on the reflector indicated that this signal attenuation with the AUX cable connected was likely due to voltage signals on the AUX lines. I remove the MKV from the system and forgot about. Well, I've rearranged my operating desk and would like to use the MKV a little; I sure do like operating "the old monster"! Next to the K3 it is the best radio I have had on the desk. So, back to the amp issue. Has anyone connected two radios--one being a K3 using the AUX cable--to the KPA500, without having to plug/unplug cables to get everything to play nicely? 73 de K6SBA David in Santa Barbara, CA __ 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
[Elecraft] Using the KPA500 with the K3 & Yaesu MKV Field
I have been using the KPA500 with my K3 with the AUX cable. Everything has worked fine since Day One. Yesterday, I hooked up a newly acquired MP MKV Field to the KPA with a cable from the PA Key jack on the KPA500 to the "TX GND" jack on the MKV. I switch between the rigs using a coax switch into the amp. Using either RF sensing or manual bandswitching, I have no problems generating 500 watts with about 45 watts drive from the MKV. The problem is when the MKV is in receive mode. As long as the amp is in the Standby position, everything is fine. As soon as the amp is switched to the Operate position, there is major attenuation of the receive signal; I mean like from S9 to S1. I solved the problem by temporarily unplugging the AUX cable from the KPA500; receive is now normal in either the Standby or Operate mode. This works but it is inconvenient. I cannot seem to find a menu setting or some other means to allow by rigs to be connected to the amp while leaving the K3-to-KPA500 AUX cable connected. Any suggestions? 73 de K6SBA David in Santa Barbara, CA __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] K3 Transformer Hum
I was also noticing transformer hum. I checked the mounting hardware and found that the transformer was secure. I plug my amp into a 20-amp nominal 120-v circuit. When the transformer continued to hum, I checked the voltage at the wall receptacle. The voltage would, intermittantly dip to less than 105-v and lower. It was under this low voltage excursions that the transformer hum occurred. It my case, it turned out the culprit was a faulty circuit breaker at the service panel. Replacing the breaker solved the problem. I would recommend checking the input voltage when you hear the hum. 73 de K6SBA David in Santa Barbara, CA __ 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

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] N3FJP rig control settings?
Hi Jim, I have been using ACLog for about 2 years now. I find it simple, easy to use, and without a lot of complex features that are of no value...to me. I am a DX'er and an extremely casual contester (for the DX value). ACLog reports K3's band and exact frequency; which is all I really want it to do for logging purposes. I don't use it to control a rotator (since my wire antennas and vertical don't need rotators!) and I don't use it to report DX spots; I use the standalone DX cluster program DX Summit for that. I also find the program easy to use for my LoTW uploads. I have tried several other logging programs such as logger32, Ham Radio Deluxe (which I use for general rig control and digimodes), DX Keeper, etc. I find them all too bloated with features I have no use for, and which require a learning curve that I don't have the time for. One good thing about ACLog (which is true of many logging programs) is that it will export your log in ADIF format. If you chose to switch to another logger, it is relatively painless to export from ACLog and import into your new logger of choice. These are my experiences for what it's worth. 73 de K6SBA David in Santa Barbara __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] K3 Woes -- Problem Solved!!
I recently sent a message to the group regarding the fact that my K3 would shut off at power levels over +/-50 watts. I tried two different power supplies, made up new power cables and even reset the radio. The problem remained. Several group members offered suggestions, some of which I had already tried, and some of which I hadn't. I was ready to sent the radio back to Elecraft for service, since I am going on vacation in about a week (poor me; I am being "forced" to go to Hawaii for two weeks) and don't really have time to dig into the radio. On a whim, I borrowed a power supply from a friend (a Powerwerx SS-30DV); problem solved! With a little troubleshootting, it was quite apparent that there was output voltage regulation problems with both of my two supplies. One was about 5 years old; the other about two. I never would have assumed that both supplies would have "gone south" at the same time; so much for assumptions! I like this outcome rather than have to send the radio in for servicing. Alls well that ends well... 73 de K6SBA David in Santa Barbara __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] K3 Woes
Thanks to Adrian VK4TUX, I checked the display voltage. I was able to coax the power level up to about 50-watts, at which time the display indicated +/-9.2-volts; I'm sure this is low enough to shut off the K3. With the same power supply and cabling and antennas, I am able to run my FT-857D at 100-w, so I don't think it is the external supply setup that is causing the problem. I guess it is time for a e-mail to Watsonville. 73 de K6SBA David in Santa Barbara __ 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] K3 Woes: Radio Shuts Off at Power Levels >20 Watts
My beloved K3 is giving me fits. It was recently returned from Elecraft service for some 8v regulator capacitor replacements. This was done in April. I have been operating the K3 on just a few occasions since then. Last night when attempting to tune up, the radio would shut down if the power output was set higher than about 20 watts. At lower power levels the radio would tune. SWR on two different antennas was <1.2:1. The display also showed significant dimming even at low power tune up attempts. I have done a factory reset per the manual and reset the parameters in the Config menu. I have done the reset twice. I have switched out external power supplies (from a Samlex 1223 to a Powerwerx SS-30DV). I have fabricated a new power supply cable from the supply to the radio; still no joy. Before contacting Elecraft service, I would appreciate any suggestions of something (obvious) I may have overlooked.

[Elecraft] Orange Screen of Death
Today, while very casually operating WPX looking for new DXCC countries, my K3 went deaf and dumb. I had just switched bands and push the "Tune" button to adjust my antenna tuner. The radio started emitting a series of high pitched beeps (obviously the transmit output for tuning). I could not get it out of the Tune mode. I had to push the power button to turn the radio off. When I turned the radio back on, the LED's on the knobs next to the VFO cycled on for a second, then went off; the display was totally blank except for the orange background color. No controls functioned and there was absolutely no audio output. I could not turn the radio off except by turning off the external power supply. I tried to restart the radio several times with no success. I let the K3 cool down for an hour to see if it was heat related; no luck. Has anyone else experienced this or have any ideas what might be happening?

Re: [Elecraft] AGC Weird Behavior
Thanks to everyone who responded to me directly or on the reflector. There was a consensus that the AGC problem is related to using Ham Radio Deluxe. I have a relatively early K3 (#565) have used HRD since I have had the radio. However, I only just started using the HRD Logger program; this coincides with the AGC problem. So, it is possible that certain HRD modules (such as the basic interface and DM780) may not be the cause of the AGC shut off but, due to excessive polling, the problem can occur when other modules are enabled. I don't really want to abandon HRD and particularly the DM780 module, but I can't have it messing with my radio!

[Elecraft] Weird AGC Behavior
Has anyone experienced anything like this? I am using a K3 (FW version 4.39; DSP version 2.73) with a KPA500 amp connected to the K3 with the Elecraft AUX cable. I normally have the AGC set for AGC-S when operating SSB or digital modes. If the K3 is in receive mode for several minutes, the AGC turns itself off without warning (accompanied by a hugh volume increase from the speaker). While this doesn't happen every time, it has happened several times. It seems to be most likely to happen if the Noise Blanker is turned on and the KPA500 amp is on and ready for operation (as opposed to being in standby mode). When I installed my KPA500, I upgraded the K3's firmware to the above versions. I have no idea what is causing the AGC to turn itself off, or if it has anything to do with the firmware upgrade, the amp, or both, or neither. I would appreciate any help that exorcises this demon. 73 de K6SBA David in Santa Barbara CA __ 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

Unfortunately, the seller did not think it was necessary to disclose that the mic had been exposed (an understatement) to tobacco smoke, and I, thoughtlessly, did not ask. Upon receipt I scrubbed it inside and out with rubbing alcohol, which eliminated most of the smell. It is almost all gone but you can still detect a trace, if you sniff hard enough. If this does not bother you, I will sell the mic for $26 including Priority Mail shipping. Other than the trace of tobacco smell, the mic is in excellent operational and cosmetic condition. Please contact me off-reflector at ingerassocia...@verizon.net. 73 de K6SBA David in Santa Barbara, CA __ 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] Does the KPA500 have a bail to match the K3 & P3?
Perhaps one of the beta testers or Eric/Wayne would be kind enough to answer the question in the subject line. I do not see a reference to a bail in the draft Owner's Manual. 73 de K6SBA David in Santa Barbara __ 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] P3 Frequency Display: My Mind is on Vacation
I just got around to updating the firmware from 1.00 to 1.05 on my P3. Unless I am dreaming, in 1.00 I was able to see upper and lower frequencies (as well as center freq) displayed, not just the span range. With the new firmware, I can't seem to get the actual frequencies displayed. The manual and a quick archive search did not seem to present the answer. Was I dreaming that the freqs were dispalyed? If not could someone please remind me what menu item can be toggled? 73 de K6SBA David in Santa Barbara, CA K2 #2760; K3 #565; P3 #672; KPA500 On Order (YESSS!!) __ 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] Elecraft at the Santa Barbara Hamfest: Wow! Wow! Wow!
Eric and Dale were at our local hamfest in Santa Barbara on Saturday with a really fantastic display. The star of the show: The KPA-500 amp. It is amazing. When my friend and I first saw it we thought is was a minature Alpha 87. What an absolutely beautiful product! I assumed it had a switching power supply, but Eric informed me that it was a linear supply, with a total amp weight of about 25 lbs., all in the form factor of the K3. It makes a THP amp look too big! There were a couple of P3's on display as well. I have mixed feelings of the usefulness (to me) of a panadapter; I may or may not buy one. But that amp! If I could pre-order one today I would. And for those of you who don't have an Elecraft transceiver, the KPA-500 will work with whatever you have. By the way, if I understood Eric correctly, the amp have full output even on 6 meters. 73 de K6SBA David in Santa Barbara __ 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] RJ-45 "Mystery" Connector (FP ACC)
Page 13 of the K3 Owner's Manual states that the FP ACC is " (RJ-45, 6 pins) located on the bottom on the bottom of the transceiver, near the VFO B knob. It is used with accessory devices." I may have missed earlier discussions, but has there been any additional clarification on the current or future use of this connector? Is there any information on the "pin out" of the 6 pins on the RJ-45? 73 de K6SBA David in Santa Barbara CA K3 #565 (oooh baby...what a radio!!) ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
