Batteries are sensitive to their electrolyte temperature, some more than
others. If it is tempting to put batteries outside the shack for any
reason, take care of the temperature extremes they may experience in terms
of charge voltage etc. Inside a shack that is nice for us is also good for

Mike,
You must do the extended temp calibration before
doing any digital modes; that's a given. KX3 is
fine for CW and SSB without it -- and it takes 2-3
hours to do (not complex, but you have to cool
then heat the rig), so if they did it at Elecraft
they'd have to add that to the cost of
I have a new K3. I very much like the quality of this radio but it is over
my non-technical head. Are there step-by-step instructions that would tell
me how to configure the radio for RTTY using MMTTY software? I am also
looking for easy to follow instructions to configure CW using CWDecoder

Check out K5NDs link above. He shows a simple schematic for a RTTY (FSK)
interface and the setting for the K3, N1MM, and MMTTY.

Disconnect the amp and computer from the KX3. Switch the KX3 on and off.
Reconnect the amp and switch on the KX3. This worked for me. You might check
the menu key PA Mode to see if it's on.

I've also found that if you use a USB to serial dongle, that a system

My wonderful XYL gave me the PR6 for Christmas - trying to figure out how
to connect the control wire as I have the cable to the KAT500 / KPA500

just connect the control wire to pin 11.
Anyone have an easy way to do this?

and the 122 was listed as discontinued and replaced by the 366, so she ordered

Can’t hemp you with anything to do with HRD/DM780, but I can tell you what I
told Ian (KM4 ). Here is a snippet of my note to him:
Here’s how mine is set up:
USB connector on the back: I wound mine through four Mix 31 2.5” ferrite cores
before routing it to the USB port on my iMac -
Rough night here - still trying to kick a cold - brain not working too well.

Hi Joe,
If you purchased the KPAK3AUX cable set with your KPA500 you should have a
15-pin Y-cable adapter. If not you can get one from Elecraft or another
vendor. Be sure to NOT use a VGA y-cable.
Simply put the y-cable on the back of the K3 and plug the control cable for the
PR6 into one leg
Jim,
Sorry to hear that you're under the weather. That cold seems to be going around
and people are hanging onto it for weeks. Hope you're about done with it!
I appreciate the info you've provided. I'm not using the line out on the
Tascam at this point, just the line in. Sounds like it's set

If what they are telling you is that it sounds tinny, that is the HC4. It is

It is also very important to use the small disconnect adapter that came with
the cable kit to make sure the pin 11 connection is not made at the KPA500. Pin
11 of the KPA500 is not compatible with the PR6's control pin, and must not be
connected to it.

Before you replace the element take some time with a trusted local who
knows you voice and adjust the transmit equalizer. Makes all the difference
in the world.

G'day Carl,
If you get aggressive with TX EQ you can make the Heil iC element sound
pretty good. If you can get someone who knows your voice to listen while you
make adjustments you should be able to come up with settings that suit your
voice.
