I like tuning uncrowded CW segments in a wide receive filter passband--say 2.4
kHz.
I recently (10 minutes ago!) discovered that I prefer the sound of this wide
passband with MENU:AGC ATK set to 207 instead of 215 (the default value). It
may be the particular quality of the noise on 40 meters

Josh,
You should not refrain from posting information about this amplifier and
its characteristics.
Perhaps I have monopolized the conversations with basic information
about RS-232 and its characteristics (and limitations), but I know
nothing about that specific amplifier. I can only talk abo
The pins are normally pressed into the connector. If you can open it,
you can usually pull them out. That way you can test non-destructively.
OM2500A only uses RxD, TxD. It does not assert any other lines. RTS &
DTR are wired straight through, I haven't checked DSR & CTS for continuity.

Hi all.The Elecraft manual says that if you have a KXV3 installed, you can
use milliwatt-level power output. This is intended for use with
transverters, but it can also allow the K3 to act as a very stable, very
low-noise signal generator.To route RX and TX through the XVTR jacks on all
bands, set
OM2500A must have frequency data, unless you are manually tuning it.

You are correct, I am not going to speculate other than to say "it will

I am not Eric, but the pins are 1, 2, 6, 8 and 9 - those all might have
drivers in the amplifier.
I would suggest that you not break off the pins unless you have a cable
with formed and sealed backshells. If you can open the backshell, just
cut the wires on the 'backside' of the connector.
One more question Eric.
If I need to block the TX lines from the amplifier to the K3, which pins
should I break off of the male DB-9 connector?
Thanks again for your help.

Hi Eric,
Sorry I'm late replying to your post.
If I read your post correctly, the K3S already has the ability to
communicate with the computer thru the USB port, AND echo the same data
through the RS232 port to the amplifier.
In fact, after digging through the CONFIG Menu I found that settin
The KIO3B upgrade for the K3 is not yet released. Last word from Eric was
"late 2015" and the current assemblies are needed for K3S shipments. I'm
sure Elecraft has every desire to get it out for K3 owners ASAP!

Hi all,
I'm making some improvements in K3/K3S firmware. This will involve a few
interim releases with different testing requirements, and I'm hoping to find
testers who can directly benefit from each set of changes.
This first interim release corrects a reported problem with PTT use from the

KSYN3A board.
Hopefully it'll arrive in time for Christmas - UK Customs permitting.

It has not been announced, as also have not some other K3S improvements to
be retrofitted to the K3, like the new improved audio board.
Rest assured there will be a great, very hard to miss, buzz on the

I need to get a hand microphone for my K2 and I have hear great things
about the Elecraft K2 MH2 and Kenwood MC43S. Which seems to be the better
microphone?

Milt,
What firmware revision are you using? We made some changes in rev. 5.33 to
allow for mixed crystal filter offsets in main/sub.

Well, after following some suggested routines by various on and off list
repliers, the problem still exists.
Very strange. Any other suggestions before going to the big boys in HQs?
