I received an email from a trusted friend that mentioned a new menu
adjustment that prevents the AGC from acting on sudden bursts. Any info
on that? I must have been in my cave that day.

hi all,
we made 2 tone measurements of my KX3 and compared it with my FT-817.
There was one unexpected result with the KX3, and I would like to ask the group
if this is
already known or looks like a problem with my KX3.
The IM3 peak is lower than the IM5 peak and it is asymmetric.
The
You may be referring to the AGC PLS (AGC pulse) setting, which prevents
a short pulse from activating AGC. It is on by default.
It is intended to prevent the situation, common on some receivers, that
a single strong pulse deafens the receiver for a long period. I don't
think this would be
See the AGC PULS entry under the CONFIG Menu - Tech Mode section of your
K3 Owner's Manual. I think your friend meant that he newly discovered
the feature, it has been in the radio for a very long time.

The problem I have found with AA cell holders of the 10 cell variety is
that there was unacceptable voltage drop under load. I tried this with the
KX1 and was not satisfied. I think it will take a pretty high quality cell
holder to get around that problem, which resides around the contacts and
This is also very useful as part of the combination of settings that will
nullify key clicks to a surprising degree. Sharpest possible skirts will
convert the typical form of a key click to a very sharp pulse. The normal
AGC PLS setting will freeze AGC for a very short period, but sufficient

The Think Tank Strobe Stuff is a perfect case for the KX3. However when
you put it in a backpack with other items, there is a risk your KX3 will
accidentally be switched on by external pressure on the respective switches.
I'm trying to prevent this by carefully packing my backpack.
Recently,
Using 8 internal eneloop cells, I measured battery voltage versus current (as
shown on the KX3 display) during RX and different TX pwr levels, created an
Excel scatter chart and fitted a linear trend line. The result: 1.15 Ohms,
R^2 = 0.95.
A single eneloop cell has around 0.035 Ohms of internal

Hello, List.
The pass band tuning knob on my KX3 has stopped responding to rotation for
no apparent reason, and performing a hard reset hasn't fixed the problem.
There isn't any evidence of physical damage, and the unit hasn't suffered
any trauma of which I am aware. Does anyone have a
When I was at Dayton last spring, I bought a plastic cover that fitted
snuggely on the KXE (snapped into place). Along with the cover came two
sides both right and left side. The label on the plastic cover was Side
KX. These people had a booth opposite the Elecraft booth and they also
assisted
Hi Werner,
we made 2 tone measurements of my KX3... one unexpected result with the
KX3...The IM3 peak is lower than the IM5 peak and it is asymmetric.
This is not unusual with MOSFET power amplifiers. We've seen such effects with
10- to 100-watt amplifiers made by various manufacturers.

As outside observer, it seems the K3 is more of a process than a
product. I doubt it will ever be a finished product, with a static list
of features and capabilities.
Instead, one buys into an ongoing, organic, developing process. It has
never been finished and likely never will. You
This would be a good slogan for Elecraft to use as a selling point.
In all fairness, though, this applies to pretty much any SDR-based radio.

I currently have firmware version 4.67 loaded on my K3. I just downloaded and
installed the latest firmware utility for Mac OS, 1.14. When I click on check
for new files, I am told the latest file is 4.67 when in fact on the website
it is indicated that version 4.86 is available along with
Interesting observations. As one example of wish list items that is
particularly close for me is my requests for the keying algorithms be
expanded to include Ultimatic keying. I have been asking for that
since the early days of the K2, but so far has not been forthcoming. I
guess there are
I had no trouble loading the latest firmware with the Mac utility. What error

I am also a single lever paddle user. There must be others who also prefer a
single lever paddle over dual lever paddles.
It would be nice if a single lever paddle version of the KXPD3 was
available. I don't own a KX3, at least yet :), but this might be enough to
push me off the fence.
Sorry
And I am in the same boat...the 'not enough squeaky wheels' boat!
Even though promised by Wayne, fixing or improvement of high speed full QSK
without losing other needed functions, in my opinion, just never will
happen. It's called 'close but no cigar'!!

Good Evening,
Summer has arrived. Two weeks of sun with only a few puffy clouds
brought the fire danger signs out. Not so long ago the days were foggy
and cool. With the winds these warm days bring the forest dries out
quickly.
Propagation has been up and down this week. The sun

Those are exactly the kind that have the most loss. Those springs for
each cell are apparently made from resistance wire.
There are some low loss ones available. More $$$. Mouser used to have
them. IIRC, they have a different type of spring.

Less loss than spring connected packs.
