This is great. The TS-2000, which is widely used by WSJT enthusiasts on VHF, doesn't have this capability, as it has no special "DATA" mode or any other way of memorizing all these configurational differences. You have to manually change all this stuff ( six or so settings) every time you go from WSJT to SSB to WSJT again. I'm really looking forward to getting my K3 for so MANY reasons!

I have now changed my message to include the "IM" prosign, and it cuts off instantly--doesn't even seem like 1 second--more like a few milliseconds. Previously I had been manually hitting the "XMIT" button to override the delay. Too bad it doesn't work on CW, as I also have a "CQ" message. Although I'm not typically a "CQer", but I've found that when the band is quiet (particularly 30 meters) calling CQ can liven things up now and then! Thanks for the tip Wayne.

I just tried to recreate your report and the radio performs as expected...no problem with RX after a transmit with ALT1 set to 0.15 on the LO side. 73 Greg AB7R -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Stewart Baker Sent: Sunday, March 09, 2008 11:32 AM To: Elecraft Reflector Subject: [Elecraft] K3 - RX Problem after latest firmware update I am not sure if there is an obscure problem after the latest MCU and DSP update. Maybe others could check and see if it happens to them ? Any band on SSB if I have the DSP set to ALT1 with the Low Cut set at 0.15 Hz , then after going onto transmit the receiver appears to be dead. If I set the DSP to NORM by pressing the knob the receiver suddenly bursts into life... This happens whether there is any transmit audio or RF out. 73 Stewart G3RXQ ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

RE: [Elecraft] K3 Multi-Band antenna thoughts
Mike, I recently put up a 240ft doublet fed with 600 ohm open wire feeder. The feedline is "about" 200 ft long. It terminates in the Elecraft BL2 balun set for 4:1 and it tunes all bands 160-6M on the K3. 73 Greg AB7R -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mike Scott Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2008 7:55 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] K3 Multi-Band antenna thoughts I am considering building a multi-band doublet fed with ladder line to the window and then 10-12 feet of coax to the K3 from the window interface. I would let the K3 ATU tune the beast. I have been playing with a coax calculator and with low loss coax and 10:1 SWR the losses in the short run of coax up to 30MHz are manageable to ½ dB. The ladder line can handle the mismatch with small losses. I was thinking of putting a sleeve balun at the window interface from the coax to ladder line. I could of course put two different length doublets in parallel at the feed point if that would tame problem bands. I dont need this antenna to go to 50 MHz as I will have a separate antenna for 6M. I dont have antenna modeling software. I know I will have pattern issues if I try to push a long antenna too high in frequency. I am not thinking right now of pushing this antenna to 160M. So now the questions: 1. Is there a magic doublet antenna length that will end up with less than 10:1 SWR on the most bands? I know Cebik likes 88 feet or 44 feet depending on lowest operating band but I dont know that he has solved my exact problem for 10:1 SWR or less on all bands. 2. Is there a magic feed line length to make this all work? 3. Have any of you tried something similar to this with the K3 ATU? I have read the reports of just tuning up any old antenna that you have and you get it to work at some unknown efficiency. I have done this too. I know it is time for me to bite the bullet and purchase some real antennal modeling tools.

RE: [Elecraft] OT: the value of "accurate measures" for ham radio
Performing the TX Gain calibration is setting the gain constants for the MCU by each band. Once for the LPA at 5W and once for the KPA3 at 50W.

If I calibrate the wattmeter to 5 Watts on 20m it is quite a long way out on several other bands - ranging from about 3W to about 7W. I am comparing it with an HP8484A so that might be an issue as it is a microwave head, but I think it goes down to below 10MHz. I also completely failed to calibrate the transverter output. This outputs 3mW but the power meter can not see it at all. More worryingly, it always outputs 3mW regardless of the power setting. If I set the ALC off, then I can adjust it via the gain setting . It appears there is something amiss with power measurement. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/wattmeter-calibration-tp16079415p16081501.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

My suggestion was to put that wasted button to use in radios that don't have the KRX3, by making *both* SUB and REV do exactly the same. The difference between the two buttons is their location. REV is good for two-handed tuning, but as Paul identified, a convenient one-handed 'hold to reverse' function is vital for radios that don't have a second receiver. The SUB button would add that convenience. When the KRX3 is installed, the SUB button has to go back to its labeled function - and that's fine too, because the 'hold to reverse' function is hardly needed at all (the FT-1000 doesn't even have it).

RE: [Elecraft] K3 RTTY Com port issue
Hi Jamie, You can use the RS232 for rig control, and PTT/CW if you set it up correctly. But you cannot use it for FSK. To key FSk you must build a simple interface from a COM port to the ACCY connector. Se the AA5AU RTTY website for the interface. Its a simple transistor and resistor...thats it. For AFSK, All you need is the RS232 port for rig control and PTT. 73 Greg AB7R -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of James C.

I've been getting everything hooked up and exploring all the possible solutions to typical problems. Here's one that I haven't seen answered here - To run RTTY with MMTTY requires use of the one Com port on the radio unless you choose to use VOX control. This works quite well until something like an APRS burst kicks in and sends the transceiver into transmit ! If you run a logging program - mine is LoGic 8 - it uses the Com port to control the radio or just put in the frequency information when you make a contact. Running BOTH programs takes 2 com ports. Now, if I use a program like MixW, this CAN use one Com port is you stay with AFSK. I have not yet run a cable for FSK to a separate Com port. Is there any slick way to avoid the Com port conflict ? I DO plan on upgrading my interface situation with a microHAM device, so this is probably an academic question. I would just like to hear what others have figured out ! :) 73, Jamie WB4YDL ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

I didn't suggest it was different. I was suggesting that it was easier to tune because, as Bob said in his reply, you can fine-tune by clicking on the waterfall display which adjusts the mark-space tones, instead of having to take your hands off the keyboard or mouse and twiddle the receiver knob. Greg makes a fair point about FSK potentially being cleaner, but I would be interested to know if that is really the case. Certainly if the audio was overdriving the transmitter you could radiate a dirty signal, but if the system is properly set up would there be a noticeable difference? With FSK there might be the possibility of clicks or artefacts occurring during the change between mark and space. A software-produced AFSK could ensure that the transitions occur when the wave passes through zero, which would result in a cleaner signal, surely? Whether that's true or not, I would have thought the usability benefits of the AFSK method, especially in a contest situation, would outweigh any theoretical advantages of FSK, which are probably undetectable on the air, even if they are measurable. -- Julian, G4ILO G4ILO's Shack: www.g4ilo.com K2 s/n: 392 K3 s/n: ??? ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 SSB
If Elecraft does not list a 1.8 kHz option in their selection of roofing filters there's a possibility that INRAD will. But please remember you are talking apples and oranges when comparing the filtering between the 1000D and a K3. That 2.1 kHz option IS a roofing filter and then you can narrow the final bandwidth using the DSP HI/LO- cut controls as narrow as you need to. - 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 On Thu Jun 21 15:30 , Jeff Stai sent: > > >Richard Hill wrote: >> >> So, what are the expectations for this rig as a voice contest radio? > >hi Rich - I did talk to Eric in April about getting a 1.8KHz filter for voice contesting.

Re: [Elecraft] K3/10 and 100
Tom, All the PSK QSOs so far have been at 3-4 watts. A nice feature for PSK is having the focus displayed when you adjust the SHIFT control. So if on your software you have a signal at 1000 Hz, you adjust the shift control to 1.0 and narrow down the filter and you get nothing but that signal (50- Hz filter setting). If the band is VERY crowded and there's someone right next to the signal you're copying, you can adjust the shift a little more and/or use the manual notch. - 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 On Tue Jul 3 9:54 , 'Tom McCulloch' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sent: >Greg, > Good to hear.

RE: [Elecraft] K3 Question
Goody, A TS-850 is one of the rigs I have not owned, so cannot make a definitive comparison. Butget it with the stock filter. If you feel you need more help with the stronger signals, then get the narrower roofing filter. Or if they're available by then, one of the variable BW roofing filters. 73 Greg AB7R -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Goody K3NG Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2007 9:38 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] K3 Question Greetings. I've read through the FAQ and have one question which may sound basic and silly, and I hesitate to ask.

RE: [Elecraft] K3 Question
Keep in mind however that to really realize the K3's potential when operating CW you really should have either the 500, 400, 250 or 200 Hz filters installed, depending on your operating preferences. With this installed, you will be way ahead of the 850's performance, as well as just about every other rig (if not all).final number not "quite" ready yet. :) 73 Greg AB7R -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Goody K3NG Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2007 9:38 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] K3 Question Greetings.

Re: [Elecraft] Re: K3 - Which filters to get?
The filters are working great! After receiving my beta rig I did alot of listening during the first contest I could find. Hearing weak CW sigs with nearby sigs at +30 and +40 2 kHz away was no problem...even with closer spacing there was no problem. I presently have 400 Hz, 1.0 kHz, 2.8 kHz and a 6 kHz. I will also have a 200 Hz filter installed which will be great for CW and digital modes. What I really like is being able to only turn on the filters for a particular mode that I want to use. Its easy to setupso I activate the 1 kHz and 400 Hz filters for CW and DATA modes and the 2.8 and 6 kHz for SSB. When adjusting the WIDTH control, the active roofing filters will will automaticlly be selected as soon as you cross its threshsold. So if I am on CW and listening with a wide BW...say 800 Hz, the 1kHz will be in line. Rotating the knob down to 400 Hz or below will switch to the 400 Hz filter. No need to do anything else. But..if you want, you CAN manually select another filter and the DSP BW will normalize to match that BW. Another neat filtering option is the I/II toggle. I keep a filter profile set up as wide in the I bank and narrow in the II bank. So instead of having to make manual adjustments, I can just use that HOLD feature to toggle between the two setting. For casual operating.you "can" suffice with the supplied 2.7 kHz filter and use the DSP for the final BW. But you are not going to get the most out of the K3's capabilities by doing so. Look...you're getting a top of the line receiever here. And if you are getting one, I suspect at SOME time you will dabble in at least a contest or two or some DXingeven with casual operating you are at times going to come up against some strong nearby signals. You WILL want the tools available to deal with them effectively. If you work CWI really recommend at least the 400 or 500 Hz filter options. If you are doing allot of contesting...get one even narrower...and it will suit your digital mode needs as well. - 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 On Thu Jul 19 7:57 , "Franki ON5ZO" sent: >> If I was into DX or contests on CW, I would likely get >> a narrow CW filter, but I am not so I did not. >> I suspect the K3 will work better than any other radio >> with just the 2.7kc filter. > >I was just about to post a question regarding filters yesterday.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 and K3... oh which one to pick
The K3 RX specs are better than the K2 and most other radios in just about every category. The optional filters are roofing filters to control what is passed to the IF and AF DSP.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft K3 shipping end August ??
Just one of many changes is that there are now 10 programable keys. Two have their on label on the front panel (hold functions of the RIT and XIT buttons) and then you can also program the M1-4 buttons as a PFx in both TAP and HOLD, that gives you 8 more PFx functions for a total of 10. When you want to use any of the M1-4 buttons for messages, you record your message in the normal way and it reverts back to that function. Another great update is when operating FSK from the CW key when not connected to a computer. Now you can use your CW messages you programmed into the M1-4 buttons and the K3 will convert them to FSK. - 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 On Wed Aug 29 10:40 , Thom LaCosta sent: >On Wed, 29 Aug 2007, JT Croteau wrote: > >> On 8/29/07, Thom LaCosta [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >>> And some folks who laid out just as much money are NOT that upset >>> about the delay and the lack of announcements >> >> Good things come to those who wait, patiently! > >I am reminded of the the phrase"It's just a hobby, just a hobby" > >It might be interesting reading to learn what features were improved and/or >added between the first announced and the actual ship date.but then there >would be people who harruph over the fact that they will neve use those >features. > >Buck Up Aptosthe K3 is a real of example of you can please some of the >people some of the time, but never all of the people all of the time. > >73 k3hrn >Thom,EIEIO >Email, Internet, Electronic Information Officer > >www.baltimorehon.com/Home of the Baltimore Lexicon >www.tlchost.net/hosting/ Web Hosting as low as 3.49/month >___ >Elecraft mailing list >Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net >You must be a subscriber to post to the list. >Subscriber Info (Addr.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Desk Mic
Not sure if there will be a desk mic. But one of the great things is you should be able to adapt just about any mic to the K3. There is switchable bias available on both the front panel as well as the rear panel and plenty of mic gain available if you need it. There's also the mic TX EQ so you can tailor the sound. I use a PR40 into the rear mic connector and get great audio reports. - 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 On Thu Aug 30 12:57 , "Edward Dickinson III" sent: >Will the DM2 again be offered or perhaps another desk mic?

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Internal Digital Modes
Just to reinforce this, I now only use software for RTTY if I absolutely have to (mainly for contesting). I find it so much easier to use my paddles and the K3's decoder. You can even do this for "casual" contesting using the CW Messages M1-4. An added benefit from this is by getting use to sending RTTY and PSK with your paddles it makes you better at sending CW. Since you can see what you are sending, you can tell if you left just a little too much space between letters, so it helps with your timing. When working 3B7C last week (I need him again cuz they don't have me in their log!!!) I had the CW decoder on. He was an S1-2 and be adjusting the Threshold setting (there's an auto- threshold option now too) and using a narrow BW filter in the DSP I was able to get about 80-90% print on the decoder (there was some QSB to deal with).

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Audio, SSB and CW.
Fred, The K3 has a menu option to toggle additional AF gain. Options are LO/HI. Based on our testing the HI should be more than enough audio. I'm a bit hard of hearing as well and also have bad tenitis all the time thanks to jets taking off and landing right above me all the time while on active duty. :) I keep the K3 in the LO setting most of the time. If I get in a situation where I need more, I just set it to HI. There are two EQs in the MAIN menu. One for RX and one for TX, both are 8-band EQs and are standard K3 features. - 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 On Tue Sep 18 13:43 , Fred Jensen sent: >Don Rasmussen wrote: >> One of the first things that will happen upon the >> release of the K3, is someone will connect a D104 to >> it. ;-) > >FWIW: While visiting some antique stores with friends in Lincoln City >OR last week, I came upon a very pristine D104 for $85.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 2.7 k Filter vs. 2.8 k
The following cut is from the K3 FAQ - Elecraft on Roofing Filters. "In order to achieve a K3 blocking dynamic range (desense) in the 140 dB+ range, you -must- use a narrow crystal filter (400 Hz for closer interfering signal spacing) in front of the DSP. We use hardware AGC after the narrow crystal filter and ahead of the DSP to protect the DSP when signals inside the crystal filter exceed a 100 dB dynamic range. If you only use the 2.7 kHz stock filter for CW or data operation you will be significantly desensed once signals within that filter's bandwidth exceed about S9+25. This is before phase noise from the transmitting station becomes a factor. Not uncommon on 40M at night, during a contest or at a multi-op station -- Or every day in major cities. Changing to a 400-500 Hz filter reduces blocking from signals 1-5 kHz away. I've personally confirmed this on the air with my K3 and the other commercial rigs we have here. when I've operated with the K3, or another DSP rig, on CW without using a narrow 400-500 Hz filter ahead of the DSP filtering, I frequently experienced desense (BDR) from nearby signals. Putting in the narrower crystal filter immediately cleaned it up. Using narrow crystal filters ahead of the DSP also reduces AGC pumping from static crashes on 80/160M etc. This was from Eric's portion of the article. - 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 On Tue Sep 18 17:42 , [EMAIL PROTECTED] sent: >In a message dated 9/18/2007 4:36:17 P.M.

Re: [Elecraft] mic pin config for the k3 microphone(what Mic r the FT's using)
Hi Ed! If you go to the Elecraft website and find the K3 FAQ page there's a mic pinout diagram there. I have the MH2 for when I want to take the rig portable. But from my fixed location I use a PR40 connected to the back. Or for contesting I use a set of Heil Quiet phones. Just about any mic should be able to work well. So if you already have a mic, wire it up in accordance with the diagram on the FAQ. The K3 designers had great forethought to put switchable bias on both the front panel and rear panel mic connections. There should also be plenty of mic gain for most situations. When you start using the radio, you should set the COMP to zero, adjust your your mic gain for correct ALC action, then introduce some compression if desired. I only use about 2 bars of indicated compression on the scale and I get fine audio reports. - 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 On Wed Sep 26 8:10 , "Ed Rodriguez" sent: >Sorry for the dumb question, but what configuration is the mic pin for the K3 >, ie; Kenwood 8 pin? what microphones are the field testers using? what do you all recommend to use, Elecraft is selling the Hand Mic, how does that preform? > >thanks >___ >Elecraft mailing list >Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net >You must be a subscriber to post to the list. >Subscriber Info (Addr.

RE: [Elecraft] CQ WW CW & a K3
Hank, I did not see anywhere in your post that you put the K3 into SPLIT. When the DX said QSX down 1 you could have simply gone into split mode and tuned VFO-B with the B knob to 1.829. Then use your REV button to find the current station working the DX and tune to that freq using VFO-A while still holding REV. Remember, VFO-A will be your RX freq and VFO-B your TX freq. 73 Greg AB7R -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of hank k8dd Sent: Sunday, November 25, 2007 7:39 PM To: Elecraft Subject: [Elecraft] CQ WW CW & a K3 I just got home from CQ WW CW . a bunch of us got together at a major station and we each picked a band and used our own calls. 10 M - no operator showed up and I don't think the band did either. 15 M - a brand new Omni VII 20 M - me and my K2/100 w/DSP 40 M - AC8W and my other K2/100 80 M - K8AQM and his K2/100 160 M - N8EA and a borrowed K3/100 with no serial number! The K1/100 had the 2.7, 1.8 and 500 filters as I remember. I got to sit in front of the K3 for a little over an hour and came away with two observations . Well - three. 1. Best damn receiver I've sat in front of! 2. The small VFO knob had absolutely no drag. I don't know if they are all like that, or if the guy who built it didn't do something. I don't know his call or if I heard it I don't remember it. 3. This is the long, hard to explain thing. Let's say I am listening to 1830.000 to a DX station. VFO A The DX station says QSX 1829 so I set VFO B to 1829.00 The RIT is on and is + 1 KHZ - so A reads 1830.100 Now I want to listen to the pile on the TX frequency, so I press REV. Now my TX freq reads 1829.100 and my RX freq on the bottom reads 1830.00 I find where the last station worked is and release the REV button. The TX freq is going to be 100 Hz low! Seems to me that the RIT should stay with the frequency and not the location of that frequency. As I saw it this afternoon that could cause me to not be on the TX frequency where I want to be transmitting.

I don't see microHAM doing two versions of the K3 cable but it is up to the guys in Slovakia. According to the documentation in the K3 FAQ, there are some issues in not supporting the front panel mic connector. First is the inability to pass electret bias (Kenwood standard is bias on pin 6 and an RC network in the microphone as shown in the FAQ). The second is the lack of the up/down/function keys via the rear panel (when they are supported). Anyone who wants a "clean" front panel and does not need the added mic functions can always get a female cable mount Foster (CE8 at www.buxcomm.com) and make a short Foster to 1/8" and RCA pigtail to connect mic and PTT to the rear panel connectors or remove the Foster from the microHAM cable, clip the extra wires, put heat shrink on the two pairs (1 & 7 for mic, 2 & 8 for PTT) and install their own 1/8" and RCA connectors. This means that the standard "Kenwood wired" MH2 and Proset K2 (assuming they use the Heil iC cartridge) will not work with the rear panel connections since the microphone or AD-1 adapter should include the RC network. 73, ...

RE: [Elecraft] microHAM K3 cables ...
Dave, The pinout is the same. You can take a hand mic from a TS-870, 570 whatever and plug it into the K3 and it works fine. For electret mics, the K3 is capable of supplying bias on both the front and rear mic connections. For mics that are high impedance there's also a switchable level of gain for both mic connections. I use the proset and they work just fine. I also use a PR40 and that also works fine. The proceedure is to use the MIC SEL menu to choose the desired mic and use the "1" button to toggle the gain between hi and lo and the "2" button to toggle the bias. 73 Greg AB7R -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dave Yarnes Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2007 7:51 PM To: Joe Subich, W4TV; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] microHAM K3 cables ...

Actually the website for Heil doesn't really show how the various adapters (I.E. for the Heil Traveler) are wired. It only links you to the website of G4WPW for a description of various pinouts for various rigs. What's the deal? Also, the K3 manual specifies a low impedence mike (600 ohms +/-). Nothing on the Heil website that I have found actually discusses what the impedence is for mikes like the Heil Traveler or Pro Set.

I was using audio from a sound card fed via the line in socket. When the K3 is set for data mode "AFSK A" which implies RTTY mode with AFSK (and gives improved dual passband filtering as shown by the filter display), there is no transmit output for audio into the line socket - which worked perfectly when set to "Data A". Under advanced operating features (page 31 of the current manual) there is no mention of data transmission, only reception There seems little interest in data via the RS232 lead, currently it doesn't work properly on receive because of mixing frequency and other "housekeeping" information with the received text.

RE: [Elecraft] K3 and MixW
Pete, What mode do you have the K3 in. PSK-D? If so please change it. PSK-D is not ready just yet (see the errata sheet). PSK work great right now in Data-A mode with MixW. Make sure you use the MENU option MIC SEL and choose Line In. In this setup CMP is locked at zero (you need the current FW from the website). And MIC will control the output level. 73 Greg AB7R -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Peter ZL1PWD Sent: Sunday, December 30, 2007 8:31 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] K3 and MixW Hi all and Happy New Year Can someone please show me where I am going wrong trying to get the the K3 in data mode to play nice nice with MixW? 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] K3: Dual key connection
Its even better. The K3 has a 1/4-in straight key jack AND a paddles jack. Both can be used at the same time. I keep the computer connected to the straight key jack while the paddles are still connected. 73 Greg AB7R -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of David Pratt Sent: Tuesday, January 01, 2008 1:03 AM To: Elecraft Reflector Subject: [Elecraft] K3: Dual key connection With the K2, an iambic paddle AND a straight key can be connected to the key jack at the same time by the use of a couple of diodes as described in the K2 manual. Thus it is possible to move ones hand from one key to the other without making any menu adjustment. I find this facility very useful when wishing to emphasise a word, etc, in a CW over. I am unable to find any reference to this facility in the K3 manuals. My question is: Is this possible with the K3? 73 es HNY to all -- David G4DMP Leeds, England, UK -- ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] RE: REF OSC Frequency
Anytime. Glad to help Raj. 73 Greg AB7R -Original Message- From: Rajiv Dewan, N2RD [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 31, 2007 9:42 PM To: Greg Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Elecraft List Subject: Re: REF OSC Frequency Greg, You are right about the bold faced caution on Page 47 and indeed I waited long before doing the REF CAL, which I did using Method 2 with the cover closed. However, I am still surprised by the frequency excursion measured on start up. I did wait a lot longer and calibrated it using method 2, zero beating it with WWV. This was at ref cal value of 49,379,611, which is a lot closer to the frequency noted on the sheet that came with the TCXO - 49,379,964. With the ref cal set, I have re done VCO CAL and other calibrations. For now all seems to be as it should be. I have my fingers crossed.
