Re: [Elecraft] RTTY
It is very easy to get it to work with K3, given all the built in isolation transformers in the rig. Physically, all you need are audio patch cords between the computer and the K3. No need for FSK or PTT (no serial port needed) Simply put, just: * connect the speaker/headphone output on the computer to line in on K3 back panel * mic in on the computer to line out on the K3 back panel * turn vox on the K3 * set meter to ALC on K3 * set DATA MD to AFSK A on the K3 * turn on VOX, may need a gain setting on it too * in the menu, go to MIC SEL and pick LINE IN * do a test transmit in the TEST mode and set the mic/line out gain on the K3 and volume on the K3 so as to not overshoot the ALC, 4 to 7 bars For extra selectivity, use a narrow filter (250Hz is fine if you have it) and activate dual pb It should just work and it does. Plus, as an added bonus turn on TEXT DEC and you can copy on the K3 screen. For many years I used a Yaesu 1KMP with FSK and hardwire PTT using a serial port and back panel connections. I like the utter simplicity of the K3 setup. May be I will use it more now. BTW for BPSK or any other digital mode just change the DATA MD to DATA A. Enjoy.

I know that I can use the K3 with the keyer, which by the way does work, but I was thinking maybe I would like to try my computer. I have a Gateway laptop and was wondering what the group would recommend to use the laptop with the K3 for the RTTY contest. Many thanks in advance and 73 and Happy New Year.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and MixW
Check the pitch setting for RTTY. Mine had default of 915 (or some similar frequency) for the mark. Adjust it using the same method as CW pitch.

I can key the tx no problem but monitoring on my k2 shows about 4 vertical lines and it sounds like a carrier only and there is none of the usual twin vertical lines only of a clean PSK31 signal. The K3 decodes on the lcd readout but I cannot seem to get it to tx any intelligence thru a pc BTW I have connected the K3 to an Audigy2 soundcard per: K3 out===SC Mic In K3 inSC Line Out Any and all help appreciated and acknowledged. vry 73 and HNY Peter ZL1PWD K3#139 ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] 100 K3's shipped
Now that is interesting. Vic G7PYR reports that his order placed on May 4 is being filled. I ordered with 50% deposit on May 2 and I've not even heard from them yet... Raj, N2RD [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Guys ( Gals), My K3 will ship Monday, it was ordered 4th of May and it looks like (not confirmed) that it will be just under the 100 serial number. It would have shipped this week but my credit card company viewed the request from Elecraft as a possible fraudulent transaction and put a hold on the payment! When I cleared up the situation 4 hours later I had missed the shipping for that day and hence will receive it around Wednesday next week (28th of November). I'm looking forward to the build and operating the 'beast'...

Re: [Elecraft] K3: SN56 qrv, but.....
Did you note the K2 #? The first two digits of that were... Vanity number? Perhaps, that explains it all.

We understand if you really need to contact us, but the less time we're on the phone or on email, the more time we can focus on producing K3s. :-) Did you mean May 10th? Wasn't the K3 announced on April 27 at Visalia? I ordered on May 2, so I am curious. :) Raj, N2RD -- Raj Dewan, N2RD [EMAIL PROTECTED] FN13fc ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
