Hi Tom
If you bought the connecting cable from Elecraft, it already contains both
the ALC and CW keying lines.

To help you while away the hours until the KX3 is ready, you might find
the following two links useful.

Well, I don't have as much as you do connected to the K3: two

Does anyone know if the new KX-3 will use the same style and size DC
connector (2.1mm) as the K1 or will it use the Anderson pole connector like
the K3?
From the Elecraft photos of the KX-3, the style appears to be the same as
the K1. I imagine that the 100 watt QRO amp option would use the

When you key the amp using the cable from key out (K3) to key in
(KPA-500), do you see the little asterisk next to the frequency on the KPA
display? That's the symbol that shows the I/O module key-in line is
getting pulled to ground by that cable. If you're not getting that symbol,

Bob,
The KX3s that I saw at Dayton had the 2.1mm coaxial power jack.
I would expect the amplifier to use APP connectors, but that is only a
guess on my part, I have no information about that.

At the risk of reawakening this thread too much, I see an ARRL announcement
that Heath has decided to enter the Ham radio market due to a strong
response from potential customers:

It would not be hard for an enterprising person to install a small
single-board microprocessor module inside the K3. This board would
communicate commands via the existing serial interface and provide a

As Elecraft have shown the way with many innovative designs and have leapt to
the fore in manufacturing many fine amateur radio products, it is not to be
unexpected that eventually another company will try to cash in on the perceived

I too have used my XG3 a lot, besides the 6M beacon experiment in June
and July. Recently I used it to tune up the receive section of my W1GHZ
222MHz transverter at 222.1 MHz and the receive section of my SWL Retro

Not to overdue the praises, but if I am not sure my equipment is received
correctly, I just fire it up to test. What a sweet piece of equipment for

Will Heathkit be able to produce kits to compare with Elecraft's quality and
performance?...not likely,
This is kind of silly. Heath
If they could compete with MFJ that would be wonderful. Just look at the market
that MFJ has for simple equipment!

Hi,
I just received my factory built KPA-500 amplifier. The fuses were not included
with the amp so I went to Radio Shack and picked up two 3 AG 6 amp fuses for
240 v operation.
With the fuses installed the fuse block door will not close. Is this normal?
With the fuses out of the fuse block
Hello,
I have lost 80m receive on my K2 S/N:7012 intermittently again. For many days
it was working fine, I even added the 160m module during this period and it was
fine, yesterday morning when I turned on the rig, I had no 160,80,17 10m.
Cycling through the bands did not bring them back.
You should have received a fuse package for both 220 and 110v fuses.
The door should close.

Hi Jim
My recollection is that the fuses need to be very firmly seated otherwise
there is a problem as you indicate. I had a sismilar issue until I realised.

Hi Jim:
The fuse block is fully seated the way. See the bottom illustration on page
5 of your owner's manual. The contacts offer significant resistance as you
push the block in the last few millimeters and it's important you fully seat
it.

I have also noticed that if you lower the rf gain that that meter does
not deflect all to S9 like my other K3 that does not exhibit this issue.

Does it do it with both headphone jacks, or just the front, or just the
rear?
