[Elecraft] KX3 I/Q SDR questions

Due to Wayne's prompt reply to my questions, I went to the website mentioned and downloaded HDSDR software and learned that OmniRig software DOES offer control between the radio and HDSDR. I found no guide or instructions, but I stumbled through it and got HDSDR with OmniRig to work. It will ch

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft T1 Miniature ATU / BL2

I have frequently used the T1 with a balanced antenna (open wire feed line, etc.) simply by connecting one side to the feed line to the "hot" center pin and the other to the shield or ground terminal on the T1. Yes, a slight amount of "unbalance" may be introduced, but usually much less than the

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft T1 Miniature ATU / BL2

Hi Randall, You can connect a random wire antenna directly to the T1 (then toss it into a tree, etc.) without a feedline. But you'll need to add a ground counterpoise wire, too; use at least one wire cut to 1/4 wavelength on the lowest band in use. If you want to run a balanced feedline to

I, too may be having this problem. I upgraded to K3 Beta 4.42 prior to putting my KPA500 in service. I had been using LP Bridge for years with great enthusiasm. Since installing the K3 firmware upgrade, LP Bridge fails and closes each time I attempt to use it to send RTTY with HRD whe

Re: [Elecraft] KPA 500: Does yours need time to warm up?

Tom, I believe the source of that situation is in the K3. Run the TX gain calibration to see if that helps. There will always be some remnant of that behavior because of the way the K3 controls power output, but the time for it to come up to full power should be relatively short - a few second

[Elecraft] KPA 500: Does yours need time to warm up?

I noticed that my KPA500 does not always give the full power that it is set for. For example, if I turn it on,put it in operate and then transmit my call sign (in a pile up), the first few transmits are lower in power (around 50-100 watts) and it takes 7 or 8 of these before the power gets to 500W
