[Elecraft] What K3 rx/tx Modes?

What MODES, does the K3 support - in receive and in transmit? CW, USB, LSB, FM, WFM, AM, ? Will it do standard 10 meter FM rx and tx? And does it all come, with base level 10W K3? Fred, N3CSY ... ordered my kit K3 today :) __ D

Re: [Elecraft] power fluctuation on transmit

Don, Thanks much for the help. I hope the problem is now fixed. I learned a lot in the process, both about the inner workings of the K2 and, more importantly, about troubleshooting intermittent problems. The culprit (hopefully the only one) was a poorly soldered connection on RFC1 in the

There's one more thing to consider. I contest at the 5W level, and work almost everything I can hear eventually. That being the case, 100w might let me work those stations a bit sooner, but once I've done that, those 100w won't help me hear any better. Gotta hear them to work them. Money spent o

Readability reciprocity is a very interesting question. Since I'm a 6M operator, things might be a little different for me than on the HF bands, but probably not all that much. In contests, unless you are operating a really Big Gun station and are solidly in the high-power category by choice,

Re: [Elecraft] Yaesu FT-2000 v K-3?

Brian has some good points. Personally, I think the jump to 400-1000 Watts from 100 is so great that you really need to think of a separate amplifier. 100 W is clearly enough for 90% of QSOs (that I make, anyway), and it would be a shame to compromise a good 100 W transceiver package to allow

Re: [Elecraft] Yaesu FT-2000 v K-3?

One area where Yaesu excels is the tuning knob, especially the FTDX-9000 which is a joy to use. A K3 add-on for later could be an external VFO - Elecraft or 3rd-party companies could then make luxurious dials, gold-plated even. A 2 inch tuning knob is too small IMO, but I rarely tune by hand a

Re: [Elecraft] Yaesu FT-2000 v K-3?

There is a basic difference in the choice of IF frequencies. The Y2K main receiver has first IF at 69.45MHz, second at 450khz, and last at 30Khz for the DSP. The Elecraft has the first IF at 8.215Mhz and the second at 15Khz for DSP. This choice reveals a lot. There are many more choices (

Re: [Elecraft] How Critical is R116's Value?

Gary, The value of R116 is not critical, it is used as an 'insulator' and not a resistor - go for any value higher than the original value. For the body to fit inside the center of the toroid it must be physically small. Most any high value 1/8 watt resistor will do a fine job. In fact, an
