In the interest of making the K3 better, is EQ by mode possible? By this I mean having a TX/RX EQ memory per mode. This would allow us all to set up our prefferences for each mode and then enjoy switching mode at random without thought (or a computer). The above mod seems to fall well short of this goal. Apologies if this has already been battered to death, but EQ is such a brilliant feature I think it warrants that last bit of effort to make it useable. If it's not technically possible, I'm still smiling :-).

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Upcoming K3 features
Yes - but this will come later as it is a lot more work to implement into the current K3 code structure. 73, Eric GM0ELP wrote: > > Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft wrote: > >> 1.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Upcoming K3 features
Eric what everyone at Elecraft has done has been incredible to say the least. I would love to see these added features or upgrades to the K3. 1. I would like to see a squelch that works on SSB Voice and not be so sensitive in other modes. In other words sometimes I really have to "play" with it to get it just right (in other modes). On SSB it does not work well at all, IMHO. 2. Many of the people I know would like the "AM Sync" as soon as possible. 3. One of the best "Short Wave" radios for this day and time! 4. Kenwood makes/made a remote head that you could purchase as an accessory for the Kenwood TS-2000. This way you could put the K3 wherever and have a small remote head on you dash. The Kenwood connected via a CAT-5 (RJ-45 ?) phone jack. This would be so nice to have. A medium/large radio with a small remote head as an option. 5. For us who have purchased the K3 assembled it would be great if there was a manual that would show you how to take it "back" apart with pictures, labels, and all for servicing.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Upcoming K3 features
The official K3 Assembly Manual is available as a pdf download from Elecraft's web site. Why wouldn't that work? 73, Dave AB7E Richard Jones wrote: > > 5.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Upcoming K3 features
Hey Dave, I guess the "Assembly Manual" would be a place to look/start. Is what I am talking about is a "Manual" that does not have all the "other stuff" in it. For example if you need to get to a certain "Board" it would be nice if there was a "Manual" that showed you how to do it. Please do not take this in the wrong way! I am sure the "Assembly Manual" has more information than I could probably comprehend, just to get to a certain part of the radio. For many of us, we purchased the "Assembled" K3 because for whatever reason we did not or could not "Assemble" the radio. This is why I am making this request. Again, please do not take this in a negative way, that was not my intention in posting.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Upcoming K3 features
Rick, So far when I've had to get into the K3 for options & mods, the instructions that came with the option or mod explained very carefully and clearly how to get into the specific area of the K3.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Upcoming K3 features
I understand. I just thought that maybe you didn't notice the assembly manual was there. For the most part, though, following the assembly manual backwards probably is the safest bet. It gives step-by-step instructions, complete with cautionary advice you'd be wise to follow anyway. It's pretty much organized by sections and it wouldn't take much scanning through it to figure out which were relevant to whatever you wanted to do. 73, Dave AB7E Richard Jones wrote: > Hey Dave, > > I guess the "Assembly Manual" would be a place to look/start.
