[Elecraft] Redoing TxGain k3

I have two K3s, SN in the 3XXX and 4XXX range. I notice that over time I can see a leading edge spike on first character of cw. If I redo TxGain calibration it goes away. It seems like I need to redo the TxGain cal about every year. Is this what others see? Mark. N2QT

[Elecraft] KX3 Macros

Hi I am just an old Newbie on this forum. Not up to date on all of the discussions. What Macros do you have your radios set up for? CW DXing and Contests is what I do. Not into Digi or RTTY as of yet. After 3 weeks using this radio I am still amazed on the performance and what this radio can

[Elecraft] RF Gain Calibration failure

K3 SN 8341 kit, 100w final not yet installed. Finishing up the calibration sequences. Downloaded the Mac version of the K3 Utility and started it. Connected Mac Mini to K3 using supplied KUSB. A very good silver-plated 2 foot jumper is between the K3 ANT1 jack and a Heathkit Cantenna. The KUSB

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Macros

For KX3: - PF1 is set to toggle between Packet and SSB modes (including setting mode, levels, mic buttons, etc. Details here: http://www.vk2rq.ampr.org/macros.html) - PF2 is set to turn Dual Watch on and off (eg. to crack that pile-up in a hurry) For K2: - PF1 is set to ATU so I can switch

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Macros

I have been chasing the W1AW/N stations. Although I am using a K3, I set PF1 to do the following: Tap A = B twice. Enable split. Enable the sub receiver. Set VFO B to 1 kHz above VFO A. PF2 resets everything back to normal. This is very simple, but it has proven to be incredibly convenient. I

[Elecraft] K3 Encoder Knob installation?

Hi all, For reasons unknown, one of the small encoder knobs (E980088 for the high cut filter on the front panel of my K3) broke. Elecraft very kindly sent a few spares. I checked the manual for installation instructions. They are just supposed to be pushed on --- lining up the flat part of the

Thanks. I started switching and swapping, and I found 4 knobs that go all the way on, without a lot of force. 73, Brian W3BW *Brian F. Wruble, C.F.A. On Sat, Jun 21, 2014 at 1:26 PM, Bob N3MNT b...@hogbytes.com wrote: This has happened to a few other owners. Not sure why, possibly a

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

Good Evening, After a week where the high temperature was 52 degrees due to the incessant rain and fog summer has begun with a warm (almost hot) day of 62 degrees. Although the calendar says summer the weather has yet to catch up. Time to get started on the new wood pile :) The

Re: [Elecraft] Temperature Sensors

Ron, Yes, but you have to do a bit of math. There is a simplified formula that does not require one to remember whether to add or subtract 32 degrees. That method has to do with the fact that the two scales coincide at - 40 deg. So add 40 degrees to the reading (whether that be degF or degC),

Re: [Elecraft] Odd K3 behavior when P3 used

Howard at Elecraft figured this out. You must set the Transmit Timeout on the P3 to 0 (zero). You do this by pressing Ctrl-Alt-S on the USB keyboard plugged into the P3. The default for this value is 3000 It is listed as The length of time an idle signal will be transmitted in RTTY and PSK
