[Elecraft] RE/KX3 Future Accessories KX2
Wayne, I have one small request for the KX2. I’d like to see a replacement VFO tuning knob that is easier to tune. I find that the current knob slips/slides off my finger. A finger “dimple” or maybe something as simple as a rubberized knob or cover would do the trick. Love the KX2 and the KX3, but that one small improvement would be great. Keep up the great work!

Re: [Elecraft] Use of external speakers/amp
I have had my K3 for some time now. I have always used it with an external speaker and at one time tried it with Stereo speakers (West Mountain Radio Communications Speaker System, Powered). While the West Mountain speaker system worked ok, I found the lower frequencies were lacking an I hated all the additional wires. Over time, I tried several speakers that were generally designed for HI-Fi use. Some were too tinny and sounded best if the tweeter was disabled. In general I found that I could always get pleasing audio from them by adjusting the receive EQ. I have never found the K3 to have low audio in terms of amplitude. The K3 audio amp seems to have plenty of headroom to drive any of the speakers that I have used. The K2 does have issues with audio output, but not the K3. I have compared the K3 receive audio to the audio from several rigs in the shack with the same speakers (PRO III, TS-2000, FT-2000, Omni VII, Drake 2B, Heathkit SB-102) and IMHO, the K3 is eve ry bit the equal of any of those rigs as far as receive audio goes. It could be my ears and the range of my hearing, but there is NO fatigue with the receive audio in the K3. Just my $.02 wort of opinion!

[Elecraft] KRX3 Installation ; ERR VCO 00227
After installing the latest firmware, I installed the KRX3 that I just received yesterday. All went smoothly until I went to Calibrate KsYN3 (p 43 in KRX3 Manual). I keep getting ERR 00227 VCO. I also received the ERR 00228 VCO one time. Any ideas where I might look to solve this issue? Thanks!

[Elecraft] K3: Rose Kopp Carrying Case - Outstanding!
I ordered a carrying case for my K3 from Rose/Ken Kopp and I couldn't be more pleased. I ordered the version with the 2 extra pockets and it is a work of art. It was delivered quickly and the workmanship is outstanding. With the 2 extra pockets I have space for various odds and ends when I go portable. I recommend this case to protect your K3 when going portable. Rose and Ken are a joy to deal with and they make a great product.

[Elecraft] ANYONE HAVE SECRET TO ALIGNING?CONNECTING K# FRONT PANEL TO MAAIN RF BOARD
I am building my K-3 and have come to the point(p 36 in instructions) where I am attempting to mount the Front Panel. I can't seem to get it on.

[Elecraft] Received K-3 Yesterday Missing Parts
Ordered my K-3 on November 26, resceived it yesterday. Started building it. It is typical Elecraft brilliance with excellent instructions. Seems VERY easy to build. Unfortunately, kit came without Left and Right Side Panels. Included extra set of bottom panels. I wonder if someone else is missing the bottom panels and got my side panels. Oh well, a quick email to Elecraft should get the panels here soon. Can't wait to get this little beauty on the air soon.

[Elecraft] HELP! Problem With K2 I am building!
I am currently building my first K-2 (SN 4645) and have run into a problem. I am going through the Alignment and Test, Part II( p 60 in current manual) and specifically, I am doing the VCO Test. All I get is a reading of kHz when using CAL FCTR and the counter on TP1. Also, when performing the next test VCO Alignment, when adjusting L30, I get NO change in voltage...it never moves from 8.3 V. I rewound T-5, thinking that may be the problem, but that did not helpno change. Any help would be appreciated. Everything has gone smoothly until now. This is GREAT fun!
