Re: [Elecraft] Headset
My K3 is used strictly CW and I have the “Audio-Technica ATH-M30x Professional Studio Monitor Headphones”. Very comfortable, Amazon has them for $55.34. -Original Message- From: Ken Miller K6CTW Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2016 6:31 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Headset All - Just my 2 cents worth as an almost 100% CW guy. I have been using the Radiosport Headsets from Arlan Communications for a while. I have their model RS20S with the gel earpads and cloth covers for my K2 (serial #455) as it is my QRP contesting rig and these phones are SUPERB! Has great isolation so I don't hear anything but what is coming thru the phones (which would be good for field day). The gel pads and cloth covers make them very comfortable for long sessions while contesting. Additionally, they are stereo so they would work perfectly with a K3/K3s where you could put one receiver's output in each ear for chasing DX when running split. I also have their model RS20CR, which is monaural and 600 ohms. This is for use with my vintage gear (Drake C-Line, R-4A and 2-B and Collins 75A-1). Also a outstanding performer, particularly when listening to the SW broadcast. I have not used their headset with microphone combination but if it works as well as these listen-only units it should be just terrific! Just my thoughts and hope this helps!

Re: [Elecraft] K3: Linux and HRD not on speaking terms
I'm having the same problem. One big drawback for me is that I am very new to Linux. I tried N4PY's Pegasus Plus. When attempting to set up the com port, it said every port was "already in use"???

I have been playing with various distros and have pretty much settled on Linux Mint 13 Maya. It does everything I routinely need except: It will not run HRD under Wine. I get the program to load, however I cannot get Wine to recognize the USB port serial converter. Linux says it is there - Wine knows nothing of it. Hence, HRD has no means to communicate with the K3. Has anyone found a way to run HRD (old version only used for rig control) under Wine on Linux? I have not gone to the dark side of virtual anything and would prefer not to. It may be that I will set up the K3 on its own dedicated Winners computer and the desk computer for everything else on Linux. Easier, but where's the challenge?

I have lost SSB again--however CW is still working fine. I can hear my microphone in the monitor.

[Elecraft] K3 SSB problem
My K3 wont transmit on SSB. It would when first purchased (recently, assembled, used from friend). I’ve been using it on CW but wanted to check into a SSB net. I’m very new at using the K3 so hoping for op err. Been through the manual and settings and can’t figure it out.
