[Elecraft] Elecraft K3 Service backed-up

The Noctua quiet fans are readily available in the UK (Scan computers and others) so I bought a pair. Are there quieter fans for the KPA500 as its more than a bit noisy on RTTY at 100watts or so. Andy G4HUE K3 6990 KPA 2102 etc. __

John, The T/R switch PIN diodes are protected against strong AM BC stations by a high pass filter. You will have better luck if you use the RX ANT input (assuming you have the KXV3 option as well as the KBPF3 installed). 73, Don W3FPR On 8/14/2015 6:47 PM, John Klewer wrote: Just got

[Elecraft] FLDigi and N1MM Plus Problems

Good Evening, This is Mark Griffin KB3Z. I was going to try and work some RTTY tonight using Fldigi and N1MM Plus. As most are aware of, you can access Fldigi from N1MM Plus. I am able to do this at least for receive. But when it comes to the transmit that is another issue. I have my K3 set to

Re: [Elecraft] FLDigi and N1MM Plus Problems

2015-08-14 Thread Don Wilhelm
I am confused - you have N1MM saying PSK, but you are trying to transmit RTTY - the two do not mix. Data A may be OK, but optimum for RTTY is AFSK A. The sideband is LSB (DATA A is USB). Since you have no problems with Fldigi alone, then the problem must be with the introduction of N1MM.

Leave the ATU in normal mode. The KX3 uses it a filter below 1.8MHz, in order to block out strong stations. A long wire antenna is probably a good idea. wunder K6WRU CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) On Aug 14, 2015, at 8:58 AM, Robert Sands k7vora...@gmail.com wrote: Do I
