Hi all,
I use at my K3 a HEIL PRO SET ELITE IC, I had this as I use it at my
old ICOM IC-275H as well.
Now I recognised that I have a small noise on modulation like a fan that
gives me some power output when I just push PTT.
OK I have in my shack 2 additional fans for cooling the PA so I
It is not a fan, it is RF or other noise getting back into the mic
circuit. I had the same problem. Check the two mods on the Elecraft K3
Enhancements and Application Notes page. Look for Older K3 Mods

RS232 and audio
Dear Buck,
thanks for your tips but I'm not sure if I have to do any mor because my

Try reducing your compression setting. I get a noise at 25 also.

Hi Michael,
When I got my DVR I cogitated on how it all work and wrote up an
explanation that helped me understand it. I put it in the KE7X K3 book
and also put it up on

Hope this helps.

Quote Finally getting started on Serial 366. Got to page 22 - attaching the
Z-bracket to the heat sink. Using the 5/16 flat head screws all of
the screws bottom out before the bracket is tight against the heat
sink. Has anyone else seen this? I did double check the screw
length. I don't
I replaced the K3 USB-Serial adapter with a TrippLite Keyspan USA19-HS
USB-serial adapter. The MCU firmware loaded the first time. I haven't taken the
time to troubleshoot the problem, so it would be inappropriate to speculate
what the root cause was. YMMV.

Glad to hear Wayne is thinking about equipment for remote operation.
I was hoping the KX3 would serve as a remote head for the K3. That would be
perfect for travelling, with the options of either operating QRP, or going
remote.

Hi Nigel,
I bought my first Elecraft rig (K2/100) in 2006 from QRP Project in Germany,
since I found their ad in the German Ham magazine Funk Amateur. This
company has a very friendly and small staff, Peter (DL2FI) and Nikolai
(DL7NIK).
I visited their booth at the Friedrichshafen Hamfest in 2008
And I decided that going to the US direct was a better option all round!

If you are using any kind of rig control with your computer (and
therefore have a shield connection between the K3 and the computer, such
as via an RS-232 cable), make sure the chassis of your K3 is securely

gauge wire or

KPA500 that I use with my K3. I would, however, like to use the KPA500 with
the K2 w.ithout having to upgrade the K2 to 100W. Is this something that
anyone has experimented with? Tnx. Len
The KPA500 will give you 12-13dB gain. So your 15-watt K2 will give youi
200-300 watts out of the KPA500. I use my KPA500 at 190-200 watts output on 30
meters when I need a little extra oomph. I drive it with about 10 watts with
my K3.

Hi all,
I did manage it now by reducing mic and comp so its fine now.
All settings was to much with 25 - now it is 10/15 with the HEIL.
Thanks for fast answer - a good reflector !
I like it !;-)

This occurs when CMP and MIC settings are very high, while TX Gate is
set too low.
Maybe an increase in TX Gate level and reducing MIC and/or CMP will cure
the other problem with the transverter.

The holes in the heat sink were definitely not deep enough. Gary at
Elecraft Support told me to use the 3/16 flat head screws to attach
the bracket. I then used the 5/16 screws for the top cover where the
length did not matter. The only other problem was the transfomer
mounting bolt - it

Check the coax between the K3 and the P3. I think you will find the
problem solution there.
I've tried three different jumpers [the one that came with the P3, and
two others I'm very sure are good], with no change. Most of the time,

Let me build a new K2 for you. You receive a K2 with all of the options you
want, fully aligned and ready to play. I have built about 300 K2's to date.
My prices are reasonable. Please respond off of the reflector.

I am troubleshooting a K1 that has no output.
The guide says to check Q5 and U8 voltages but I do not find them listed
anywhere.
The DC voltages table lists U8 pin numbers but no voltages. I see nothing
for Q5.
If anyone knows what they are or where they are listed I would appreciate a
reply.

Mike,
I do not know where those DC voltages are listed. For as long as the K1
has been out, I don't understand why that omission had not been spotted
long ago.
However, back to your problem - the quickest path to resolution is to go
first to page 5 of the manual troubleshooting appendix and
Windows 7 Update advises me that an optional update is available for

I good friend has kindly lent me his K3. I have noticed that the cw

does on my old K2. The timing sounds decent below about 35 wpm, but once

Dale,
Keying weight would, in an ideal world, not change with speed. But the
reality is that the low-noise synthesizers in both the K2 and K3 take
some time to switch between transmit and receive. We take this into
account, but that can only be done up to a point because of various
timing
Hello Wayne!
Thanks for the quick response. QRQ mode works beautifully, and the
keying sounds great now!
