Hello Elecrafters,
Recently, I notice that the LCD display of my KPA500 does not show up (amber
light on) when power up. The display will come back in about 1-2 minutes.
During the blank display period, the function of the KPA500 is normal.
Any advice from the group before I approach
Hello, I am new to the K3 and Elecraft. Bought a used one. Liking it so
far.
On my K3 display, right hand lower corner there is a + sign displayed in CW
mode. Why?
I cannot find this in the manual. On SSB OK -- ESSB, but this is OFF.
I'm sure that I have missed this setting in the manual,
Nothing to worry about Rick, it simply means that CW QRQ is on. It's a menu
item and you can easily turn it off by holding the MENU key down long enough
to get into the CONFIG menu. Once there, turn the VFO B knob until you find CW
QRQ and if it says ON turn the main VFO knob until it says
It indicates CQ QRQ. See the K3 firmware release notes for MCU version 4.03,
when QRQ was initially described.

Hi Community!
I have a K3 with FW 4.51. Anyone knowing where I can see the difference
between 4.51 and the latest production release 4.60?

A user-level summary is in the K3 firmware release notes. If you copy the
new firmware using the K3 Utility's copy files button, the new release
notes file is also copied, and can be viewed from a selection on the K3
Utility Help menu. Copying the file from Elecraft means bringing the

Ronny,
Look at the Firmware Release notes to see if there is anything of
interest to you and your operating techniques that would be useful for you.
You may just want to upgrade anyway just to stay current, it will not
break anything. Normally an upgrade goes smoothly unless something

I have a problem. When I turn my K3 on I get a bright orange completely

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

Cliff,
All Prosets are not the same. If it is a Proset-K2 or a Proset-iC (with
an electret element), turn bias on and try again.
If it is a Proset-HC4 or HC5 (dynamic element, bias should be off), the
output level is quite low, so you may have to set the mic gain quite high.

Usually the big center spike is due to a so-called ground loop between

The two ways to cure this are:

2) use audio isolation transformers. There have

Gil,
I don't understand what problems you are having. I've been running NaP3 almost
as long as I've owned my KX3. The only problem I've run into is ASIO with VAC.
Seems that VAC will not accept 24 bits. Other than that, I've been pleased.
I've even shown the operation to a few other hams.

I suspect that the spike at zero has to do with the fact that the radio is
direct sampling and the IF is zero. Elecraft has built in an at least a partial
fix, the 8 KHz. receiver offest. That has helped at my place. The second that
added a little bit is a galvanic isolator I picked up at
