I agree with Bill: Fred's books are all first rate.
Another thing you might want to do is call
Elecraft tech support on the phone and ask them.
They'll know your KX3 serial number and what you
have in it, so are in the best position to advise
you about any hardware updates, or add in boards

It's always a good idea to study the manual that comes with any new

It sounds like you've only put one new board in a 2RX K3. I don't
believe that's a supported configuration...

especially interested
in the low frequency performance as I like to DX the LF broadcasts from 153 to
279 kHz. What I found
was that below 400 kHz, the noise level rises and at 100 kHz it's almost 20 over

That's a 34 db increase in noise level!! Is this the way the new
boards are supposed to work?
Is this with or without an antenna connected? What's the nature
I have had similar problem before. Expertly helped by Elecraft support, I found
the PIN diode on the RF board was broken.
I would suggest you to talk to Elecraft support.

Roger,
More on this...
Since KSYN3A buyers may not always see the FAQ, we'll be adding something like
this to page 1 of the KSYN3A installation manual:

Hi Roger,
The noise floor is coming up because the RX circuitry was optimized for use
from 250 kHz and up. Multiple sources start contributing significant noise
below 250 kHz.
Even though the new synth tunes down to 100 kHz, we tried to make it clear in
the KSYN3A FAQ that the receiver isn't
We typically have several relays. Often in So CA, the midwest, TX and the East

A question was asked about the bicycle mobile station. That is John, N6JW, in
CA. Not every week.

Thank you everyone for all the great tips. I ordered Fred's book today and I
look forward to following the rest of your recommendations!
Listen for me soon from the middle of the Pacific!

Download the Elecraft KX3 utility, and make a configuration backup before you
do anything. Next, check the firmware version and upgrade that using the same
utility. Read the manual and have a play with the functions to see what they
do. Later on, you may want to do things like per-band I/Q
Mike,
You do not have to do much at all.
Download the latest KX3 Utility and then update to the latest firmware
and operate.
Then at a more leisurely pace, go to the Elecraft website and review the
KX3 hardware updates available - you do not have to do any of them
unless you want to do it or

I bought one of the BG7TBL GPSDO from the same seller on eBay. I actually was
just looking for a 10 MHz distribution amplifier and found that he was selling
the GPSDO along with matching Distribution amp for a very good price. There
were options of a square wave output version or a sine

Hi Doug,
Those resolutions do not have to match your monitor exactly. For
example, you can run 1440x900 on a monitor that is capable of displaying
1920x1080 or greater.Higher resolutions on the P3/SVGA will show
more detail (more pixels per span) but require slower update rates (more

Can someone furnish the exact unlocked or MARS transmit frequency
specifications for the K2, KX3 and K3?
I think some of these radios may have gaps - due to RF filtering, IF, etc.
Also, what about the unlocked transmit specs for VHF in these radios?
Thanks,

Hi Jay,
I use my older K3 and a newer one on MARS frequencies. The KX3 is
used as a MARS ECOM / mobile unit with the KXPA100 amp.
The K3 has a TX donut hole around the 8.2 MHz IF. I think TX is
locked out from 7.5 to 9.0 MHz (if memory serves). The KX3 has no
such restriction, being a Zero IF
Jay,
The K2 is ham bands only, but it will tune (and transmit) slightly
outside the ham bands - how far depends on the particular K2. There is
no way to open it up further.
The K3 blocks transmit (and receive) in the region of the 1st IF at
8.215 kHz - I forget how wide the guard band
20 matches
