[Elecraft] [K3] Tone on 21.017

Hi Gang, For some unknown reason, I have a tone around 21.017 on the K3. Don't know when it happened but just was on 15m (yea, the band finally opened to EU) and heard the tone. I thought that it was a "birdie" but it is "reverse" of signals on the band. This morning I had the tone again and we

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Filter problem Part II

SIG RMV does not move "real" signals. It shifts the internal signal sources such that the net is zero. All you will hear is a slight change in filter center pitch. That said, it should, as you noted be used after checking cable orientation. 73, Wayne N6KR http://www.elecraft.com On O

Many of these bits come from Latin on which all the "Romance" languages based. In Latin "DE" means "coming from" or "an origin". The use of the "Charlie" letter flag for signaling between ships has meant "yes" probably long before Morse came into use on the high seas. I suspect that's why "C" in M

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Tone on 21.017

I can't say for sure about 21017, but several of the K3 birdies tune in "reverse". And the subreceiver seems to be much better shielded than the main receiver. The birdies in the subsreceiver are much weaker and many of those heard in the main receiver are not detectable in the subreceiver.

Re: [Elecraft] Fwd: Topband: Fw: 3d2kj

I'm not guru enough to call myself an authority but my first reaction to the symptoms is that the PA crash damaged one or both diodes at the output of the K3 that detect forward and reverse power. The rig intermittently throttles itself back when it 'thinks' the output is too high or swr too h

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Filter problem Part II

The problem seems to be inherent to the K3 itself and not the cabling as I moved them around and the tone does not move at all. Upon that, just wondering if "loose hardware" (i.e., screws, standoffs, etc) could be causing the problem. Right now, it is not a show stopper, just a little annoyance

[Elecraft] K3 monitor control

Hi Elecrafters: I am a relatively new K3 user and operate 90% CW and the rest SSB and PSK. I note that the monitor level for CW and SSB can be adjusted independently, which is fine. On CW I always use headphones. But when I operate SSB, I sometimes use headphones and sometimes a loudspeaker.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Filter problem Part II

Aha, looking at it more closely, I now see that it it only happens when PB CTRL is set to SHIFT=.01, in either CW or DATA mode. Oops! I just re-read the firmware release notes for MCU version 3.25, which say that CONFIG:PB CTRL is not compatible with CONFIG:SIG RMV. No doubt that's the problem
