I know I might be beating a dead horse, but my recent experience in big,
noisy pileups has made this problem stand out.
The t/r transitions in QSK and semi-QSK CW when there are nearby strong
signals make a horrible racket -- enough to make me turn down the volume
when sending, which negates
Not sure if it was you and I cant even remember what band 40 I think,

sounding a little reminiscent of some the AM nets on 40m I would

Quick question……..
How to you guys, using the KPA500, run 2 antennas? The picture of this unit
doesn’t show any extra antenna ports….is there an option for that?
I’m running a wire ant. for most HF bands and a separate yagi for 6M. I
don’t really want to fabricate an external relay system.
Hi Phil,
I will be using a vertical, and I have decided to get the LDG... Thanks

Thanks for the info... I will be getting an amp from Elecraft if they
ever come out with a 1K job, and buy the tuner then... THANK YOU!

I currently have about five antennas connected to the output of my KPA500. I
have a combination of KAT500 with its three antenna connectors, and one of
those goes to a DX Engineering 2 x 8 antenna switch mounted at the base of my
tower.

Normally, the output of the amplifier would go to a tuner, like the KAT500, or
whatever

I am going through some major life changes and need to sell my KX3 and KXPA100
station. Here is the list:
KX3 S/N 5729
KXAT3 Autotuner installed into KX3
KXPA100 s/n 0790
KXAT100 100 watt auto tuner installed into amp
KXBC3 Internal battery charger installed into KX3
KXFL3 Dual Passband roofing
Also agree, everyone brags so much on the K3 QSK that I thought it was
just a problem here. I have almost stopped using it because of the junk
created when keying with any signals nearby.

Yes, it could be in the tuner - set the tuner menu to CALP and see if it
still happens.
CALP bypasses all the L/C elements, so if the problem is in the tuner
L/C section, it will be bypassed. If the problem were in the tuner
wattmeter or thru path, all bands would be affected, so you
I have been using the ComPilot for about 5-years. What a godsend. Never

You can also use them on TV's, stereos, even on your PC, among many

Trying to get my new K3 set up to work FSK.
When I set DATA MD to FSK D the radio transmits OK but I get no audio
out of the LINE OUT jack to see received RTTY signals.
When I set DATA MD to DATA A I get audio out to the LINE OUT jack and
can receive fine but the radio will not transmit
It wasn't about Mr. Hertz it was about the kilo that consistently is

Lower case for kilo and hecto might have been chosen to avoid collisions with
fundamental and derived units: K is Kelvin, H is Henries. Of course, micro
collides with m (meters), but Mega was already taken.
Just a guess.
I’m hoping we never have to deal with a TT (teraTesla). Well, that might

I would recommend downloading the driver from Elecraft. Then update the
driver by choosing Browse my computer for driver software. Then, in
the next step select the directory where the driver has been downloaded

Yes, it surprises me that Windows 8 does not find and load them

Well Eric, Kelvin is an absolute number, so there is no less than zero
whereas Celsius is a relative number. That's why.
