Re: [Elecraft] FIRST TIME HOOKUP OF N1MM+ TO K3 VIS MICROHAM USB INTERFACE III

Yes, I believe the baud rate is the problem.

Should be 38400.

Re: [Elecraft] Firing up K3 attached to PC via USB

[Henrik Stenstrom]

All, 

The alternative is to switch on computer first, then your K3.

Of course you need to remember to do that, though ...

Hi Stephen,

I have used Eyoyo brand similar to this one as a computer monitor

It is fine for the purpose.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 phantom carrier

[Henrik Stenstrom]

Roger, Interesting!

I have seen this on my relatively new P3 on initial turn on. The "phantom
carrier" (great description),  sweeps from left to right just after turn
on, and usually disappears off the right hand side of the screen.

In very hot weather last weekend, the phantom executed its usual move but
remained in view with the display width set at +/-100.

 - yes it follows the VFO
 - looks like a (very overdriven) carrier, but produces no tone.

Interested in understanding this.

Thanks,

Henrik - VK2HHS
