A K4? With all the upgrades Elecraft has supplied and the options I've added,
there's no doubt in my mind that my K3-100, serial #3448, is now a K4. I sold
my first K3, #0178, and that was the worst radio decision I've ever made - w/o
doubt! If I still had it, it'd be the equal of my #3448 -
Ten-tec dummy loads sold. Elecraft still available.

All, I am missing something or having a senior moment. I have tried the memory
editor to put in a -1.7 mhz offset 6 meter repeaterno luck. Only get -1
mhz offset.
Must be missing something or assuming something. Anyone been here before and
know the best way to store this in a KX3 memory
Do not use ALC to throttle K3 power levels. Regardless of what amp
manufacturers say, ALC used in that fashion is one of the worst generators
of splatter and key clicks around. They say that to keep amps from being
blown up by severe overdrive and returned under warranty.
Just don't connect it.
I can't seem to find the latest beta firmware for the P3 - I downloaded the
1.21/1.34 version (NB on SVGA) but didn't download the 1.22/1.35 version
when it came out. I don't see it in the P3/beta firmware directory now -
what happened or what am I doing wrong?

Hi John,
I had a similar issue with an odd High-VHF split. For odd splits, we
have to use the KX3 itself. The utility allows only standard tx/rx
splits to be entered..
1. Enter the transmit freq into VFO A;
2. Tap the A/B switch;
3. Enter the receive freq into VFO A;
4. Tap the A/B switch;
5.
Hello all,
I am the proud new owner of a new K3. I am also the proud new owner of
an SPE Expert 1.3K-FA solid state amp, and I have a question for the group
regarding interfacing the K3 to the amp.
My current setup is using my Icom 756 Pro III with the SPE Expert 1.3K-FA. The
You aren't doing anything wrong. But, per Howard at Elecraft, it was so
bug ridden that it and the .33 version were removed from public sight.
Use the current version, you'll be fine until they have the staff time
to put into the P3-ware.
Once I went back to the 1.29, all was well with the
Hi Darrell,
Nearly all ALC systems cause splatter, and some are horrible. Letting the amp
control a radio's drive level is pretty much worst-case. This just about
guarantees clicky, distorted ALC response as well as poorly shaped CW keying.
Instead, we recommend adjusting the K3's drive level
Thanks, folks. More stuff coming soon.

This is because the software in the amp automatically reduces the
power in the rig to the best output level for the amp (on the amp
LOW=500W out= 3W drive, MID= 1000W out= 6W drive, HIGH = 1500W out =
9W drive). It works flawlessly. Actually, I could leave the power on
the Pro III untouched,
Guy,
Thanks for the tip, and a couple others who say the same thing.
I'll forget using ALC and use the internal power levels per band for driving
the amp.
Thanks all and 73,

As I was told, they ship it with the pad at the input to meet FCC
requirement of max 15db gain. But the pad can be easily bypassed. Just

I have exactly the same setup. Before that I had used K3 and Expert 1K-FA.
Never used ALC, just power per band. ALC backward regulating output power
is the cause of interference.

Yes Christian. Because of the roofing filters it was necessary to include a
Jacobs Ladder for maintenance.
Also, the dual peddles (as opposed to paddles) double up for ambidextrous QLF
