Hello Elecrafters,
What is the ballpark cost for the KX3?
Will users be able to download their own code to the KX3?

I don't think anybody knows what the cost of the KX3 will be.
AFAIK there are maybe two prototypes and production won't begin till the
end of the year.
As for loading you're home brew firmware on the KX3 why would Elecraft
want to open that particular can of worms? It's a support nightmare.

Perhaps like the K3 there will be some release of code?

Our target is still $799 for the basic 160-6 meter/10 watt/all-mode

were based on cost of parts in May, and everything is going up

Hi Guy and all,
You could kind of do this with the DIGOUT1 signal from the ACC connector. It
can be programmed OFF (floating, open-drain output, you need a pull up if you
want a high) or ON (pulled down to ground).
The Elecraft Owner's manual describes it on page 55 and here is what the KE7X

I was looking at the ACC features and have a question about
DIGOUT1. Does this feature have any use without the KAT3? I wonder
if there is map for its output states by band (or how one does this -
it would be handy for me to use this for 6m-eme to enable INHIBIT
when on 6m). I currently use

Hmm, I was somehow under the impression that was needed for something, but
reading it all again from scratch, that is the digout0 which apparently only
works in relation to some transverter function. Thanks all for the info.

Sorry to interject, but a fullwave fed at the 25% point has a clover leaf
pattern. It only has the two halfwaves in phase colinear behavior when fed
very near the center. Even fed at 45% it has a significant cloverleaf lobe
and a NULL in the center Easy to verify with any modeling program. 73,

HI Ed,
You should be able to go into CONFIG: DIGOUT1 and then step through the
bands to map out DIGOUT1 ON or OFF. It doesn't require the KAT3.

Gotcha.
Is what goes on with DIGOUT0 firmwired in the firmware, or is that
available somehow with some sneaky procedure? TWO signals I could work, one
of them via software command to K3, would be simply splendiferous and get
rid of ugly relay logic board. But I know I'm reaching here...

Thanks for your questions - you are giving me ideas about how to

As far as I know the only use of DIGOUT 0 is to indicate low power
operation for a given transverter band:
With KIO3 set to TRN or HF-TRN, the DIGOUT0 line (ACC, pin 6) will
output 0 V when low power mode is selected for the current
transverter band (CONFIG:XVn PWR). At all other

This was a thread a while back, (the twist in the tones is induced by
passband ripple in the filters, worse with 5 poles) and there was a
possibility of a software update to flatten the tones. I know it doesn't
really affect anything, but watching the LEDs on the W2 flutter just
doesn't seem
John,
I am not Wayne, but I would like to inject a few thoughts.
First, the KX3 is an SDR radio - yes, it is direct conversion, unlike
the K3 which first mixes to an 8 MHz IF and then processes the DSP at 15
kHz before going to baseband. Otherwise, most of the functionality of
the K3 will be
Are you sure you are seeing unequal steady-state power on mark
and space?
What I see on both of my K3's are significant (+/- 7%) power
transients at the transition between mark and space. These
transients show up vividly on an LED wattmeter, and I see the
screen current on a high-gain

Turn on VOX and adjust the VOX gain until it transmits reliably.
There are circuits for the one transistor keying circuit that can be
effective if you prefer to use PTT instead of VOX.

The things that I would want to see initially in such a program would be:

AF RF gain adjustments
shift width adjustments

antenna switching ATU control
Memory access and maybe even

Adding on to the discussion...
For an iPad app I hope there are no knobs! iPad is all about touch gestures.
Touch finger sweeps for tuning should work great. I can see one use of a knob
if it has one of those little finger depressions on it and you can then use
touch to spin the knob
Yep, thanks Phil...I should clarify, at least for David's sake, that when I
said some equivalent of knob turning I did not mean that literally...I meant
some appropriate means of sweeping along a band like we would do if we were
turning a knob. An appropriate gesture in the iOS gesture
