Re: [Elecraft] Upgrading K3

2017-06-23 Thread Matthew George
I assume you mean sub receiver?  If so, yes you will need two of the new 
synthesizers.  It's all in the FAQ from 2015 located here on the elecraft 
website: http://www.elecraft.com/manual/KSYN3A%20FAQ-ver-C-2.pdf

Well worth the upgrade by the way!

Re: [Elecraft] Remote Operating Time Sync

2017-06-15 Thread Matthew George
Tune in to wwv and synchronize your clock.  The jt modes will be fine even if 
you are a second or two off.  Or get a gps and synch to the gps clock via nema. 
 Use google and search on all your options.  You could setup nptd on your mac 
and use a pps signal from a gps too.  Max Ng7m

Re: [Elecraft] FS: Billet Bronze Chrome K3/K3S A/B VFO Knobs / Pictures

2017-03-31 Thread Matthew George
No interest at $90 for these chrome plated brass billet knobs?  How about $75 
shipped to your door in the US? send an email off the list if interested.

Re: [Elecraft] does the K-Pod work with a K3 setup with a RemoteRig?

2017-02-13 Thread Matthew George
It is with the latest beta firmware... 5.56, I have tested it with an rrc box 
at the control end and it worked great for tuning, I didn't test the macro 
buttons however.

Look at the release notes on the 5.56 firmware. Mg
