Dave and All, An index has already happened. Take a look at the manual currently on the Elecraft website Rev D2, January 1, 2009. That version of the manual *does* have an Index, and has been shipping with K3s since early January. Download the .pdf version of the manual and you can use the sear

[Elecraft] Heil Proset Ic and MicroKeyer

2009-03-08 Thread Robert Naumann
I do not operate SSB very much, but I wanted to get my Microham MicroKeyer working with N1MM for "voice keying". I have the Heil Proset Ic from Elecraft and it works well plugged into the 1/8" mic jack of the MicroKeyer and the MicroKeyer mic output is plugged into the rear panel mic jack of the K3

2009-03-08 Thread Mike-WE0H

Jim, Steve, and All, Well, Steve is being a little hard on Jim, but the point is that most questions are answerable in the manual---somewhere! The problem is that the "contents" page at the front isn't all that helpful with regard to many specific questions. A lot of things you want to find o

Good Morning Folks: Since we have had a somewhat spirited discussion of the virtues of various external Keyers for use with the Elecraft rigs, I thought I might offer a succinct command card which I developed for laminating, cutting out, and then sticking directly to the top of the case for the Id

[Elecraft] K3 - Transverter/HF

2009-03-08 Thread Stewart Baker
I don't know if I am trying to do the impossible, wanting to listen on 2m and 80m simultaneously. I have a homebrew 2m transverter connected via the KXV3 with a 28MHz I/F setting. If I set up 2m on Main RX , then I cannot get anything out of the Sub RX when set to 80m. If I set up 80m on Main
