Re: [Elecraft] K3 firmware Problem

I too have power issues after the latest firmware upgrade. For me the power out in SSB starts low and after talking for a minute or so rises. On 40M its not too bad but 20M output is low and stays low. The RX is also affected by the ATU unit tuning. Very strange behavior. I saw the note that

[Elecraft] K3 Power levels

Spent a few hours in WPX SSB, but gave up as power levels from my K3 were all over the place. My linear did not appreciate the wild input power swings. Back to the bad old days. Using the latest beta. Hope this problem gets fixed soon. 73 Stewart G3RXQ

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Power levels

I am also using the latest beta (3.04) and don't find the power level on SSB swings much, it was also OK in that regard with the previous beta (3.03). The firmware between v2.38, which as fine, to the last two suffered badly from short duration spikes on SSB, these spikes could be readily produced

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Power levels

Hi Dave, No it's not the spike problem. I think that it is close to the tune then creep up in power issue. It only seems to be a problem when the KPA3 is selected. The power output on either a whistle or using the 2 tone oscillator is low on SSB, and hitting the key puts the power back up.

[Elecraft] K3 power control

Power control issues were unexpected, because we had 70+ K3 owners running this exact power control firmware for a few weeks. That's why we did a beta release of 3.04. But I have now confirmed some of the observations from the weekend, using specific settings some of you sent me. So I guess

[Elecraft] K3 Serial Port

I'm missing or forgetting something rather basic I think. I have my computer connected to my K3 with a serial cable. I normally use the connection for DX4WIN but sometimes want to use Digipan for PSK. Of course if I try to use Digipan while DX4WIN is running, I get a message about the port

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Serial Port

You will need to get another COM port.  If you have a desktop computer, that is easy because  you can buy a card to go into an expansion slot.  Then you would have COM1 - COM2 - COM3 etc.  Now you can also go with a USB to Serial adapter (Elecraft sells one) and then you can add addition COM

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Serial Port

Umm, adding a second serial port won't help if both apps need to talk to the K3! Try running LP-Bridge, and connecting the two apps to (different) virtual serial ports that it uses. I don't use DX4WIN nor Digipan, but other combinations of apps seem to work quite well.

Another solution is provided by Eterlogic's Virtual Serial Port Emulator, a free download from Eterlogic's web site. You can create a serial port splitter, for using diifferent software programs that talk with the K3. I use it to run DXBase 2007 and DXLab's Commander program simultaneously.

Re: [Elecraft] How to record Audio on K3

There's a free program called Audacity that will do this. See http://audacity.sourceforge.net Audacity provides useful editing capability. You can write your result file as an .mp3 file, which is a fairly compact format (and loses some amount of quality, depending on the options you choose).
