The frequency is 3630 KHz plus or minus the QRM. The new start time is 0900 hours local (0800 UTC) in an effort to try and beat the deteriorating summer band conditions. 73 Dave, G4AON K3/100, Acom 1000, dipole __ Elecraft mailing list H

[Elecraft] K3 ERR TXG

My K3 has now recovered from en ERR TXG problem. When trying to transmit, output was close to zero, and I got the error message. It started happening just after a firmware upgrade, but it turned out to be a hardware problem on the RF board. The stage after the pre-amplifier, (Q8/Q9) to be preci

I just added the 2.1 KHz 8 pole BPF to my K-3. I already have the 2.7 KHz 5 pole, and the 400 Hz 8 pole for cw. I can get it to operate manually as expected. When I adjust the DSP bandwidth, I observe the following: As the DSP readout goes narrower, the filters switch to match the DSP ban

[Elecraft] Sending sequential serial numbers with the K3

Isn't there a way to send sequential serial numbers with the K3, or is that my imagination? I could have sworn I came across that feature while exploring the K3... 73, Tom-N2YTF -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Sending-sequential-serial-numbers-with-the-K3-tp2998760p299876

Hi Ron, To receive (or transmit) ESSB and AM, you need the 6 kHz filter. If you have only the SSB filter, you can still set the DSP bandwidth (2nd I.F.) as high as 4.0 kHz, but the crystal filter will limit the first I.F. bandwidth to under 3 kHz. 73, Wayne N6KR On May 30, 2009, at 4:01 AM,

I send sequential numbers on CW and RTTY using N1MM and the K3. I do not know of a way to do this without a computer. I have not heard of a simple way to do this on voice. It would help if we knew what mode you were asking about. Dave Wilburn NM4M Tom-N2YTF wrote: > Isn't there a way to send

This is a feature of my Idiom Press CMOS keyer; it's part of the published WinKey command set, but to my knowledge serial numbers are not supported by the K3 internal keyer. For most users transmitting the serial number (and other repetitive parts of the exchange) is accomplished with an external

Hi gang, The weekly Elecraft SSB net will meet tomorrow (Sunday, 5/31/09) at 1800Z. We will start at 14.316 MHz, and QSY if needed. The net control is in western Oregon, but we will need a good east coast or midwest station to relay a few west coast signals that may be too close to net control.
