[Elecraft] KIOB

Don is right as usual. I, too, am very happy with my three USB interfaces (K3, KPA500 and digital PTT), external sound card and 7-port USB hub. Although I upgraded my two K3’s with a total of four KSYN3A’s and two KXV3B’s, I decided not to order the KIO3B which “Eliminates need for PC soundcard

Re: [Elecraft] KIOB

Well, being that I am 24/7 in my Motorhome, I want the KIOB upgrade to help reduce the , dare I say, clutter at the back of my wireless. Hmm, that's a misnomer... Santa has informed me he is running late and my KIOB will not be delivered till the 1st quarter, 2016. Guess he knows Eric well.

Re: [Elecraft] KIO3B

Hi Bill (and everyone else interested in the KIO3B upgrade), Unfortunately pulling the KIO3B boards out of a packaged K3S kit or already built K3S is not practical, and would really cause production problems here. We build the assembled K3S base units ahead of time before option configuration,

[Elecraft] K3 Macros

Hi everyone, I have two Macros set up to change the audio input on my K3 from the front panel to the Line In on the rear panel. They worked fine until one of the latest big releases: Macro 1: MNO53;DN;DN;DN;MN255: Macro 2: MNO53;DN;DN;DN;UP;MN255: Macro 1 sets the K3 to the mic connector on the

Re: [Elecraft] Lightweight headset/mic solution for KX3?

I used an iPhone earbud during the ARRL VHF contest. I used the MH3 microphone for SSB and the combination worked fine. After my wife Peri, KI6SLX brought my CM-500, I was even happier due to the better isolation from that set of headphones. (We had 3 stations in one tent.) 73 Bill AE6JV On

Re: [Elecraft] Lightweight headset/mic solution for KX3?

I've used the iPhone headset, but it does require an adapter. So far I haven't found an adapter that I like; they seem to be fragile or have a too-loose connection. What I'm hoping to find is something like the iPhone headset but with two plugs (one for the headphone jack, one for the mic

Re: [Elecraft] KIOB

Gary, In the "olden days", we did not have such clutter. If one is willing to do paper logging, there is no need for a computer connection and if we stick to SSB and CW, we only need a microphone and a key - KISS principle, and no extra cables except for the mic and key cables. Problem is

Re: [Elecraft] KIOB

Hmmm ... a big problem for me is that cables seem to come in lengths that are almost universally too long. I have a Wi-Fi dongle on top of the RemoteRig box with a 6 ft [1.83 m] Cat5 cable connecting it to the RR box, all of 1 inch [2.54 cm] below it. Sadly an RJ-45 crimper is expensive and

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Macros

Larry, Menu support for the UP and DN commands was unintentionally removed a long time ago. It was added back in as of rev. 5.33. I tested your macros, and they work with the latest release (5.38), except that you need two "UP;" commands to go from FP mic to LINE IN. 73, Wayne N6KR On Dec

Re: [Elecraft] Lightweight headset/mic solution for KX3?

I use an iPhone headset for my KX3 all the time. No problems. Of course, don’t use a mic at all, just my Begali Magnetic Classic paddle and it plugs into the KX3 just fine. Just real fine. I mean really fine. 73, phil, K7PEH > On Dec 16, 2015, at 7:24 PM, Wayne Burdick

Re: [Elecraft] KIOB

Hi Fred, No financial interest but one of the best sources I know of for cables is here: http://www.l-com.com/ If I have to "shorten" cables I fold them back on themselves and use wire ties to bundle that up. Can dramatically reduce clutter and or Rats Nests. 73,

[Elecraft] Lightweight headset/mic solution for KX3?

Hi all, Awhile back, Bill, KT5W, recommended the Logitech H165 "notebook headset" as a decent stereo earbud+mic solution for ultraportable operation. The H165 has two 3.5-mm stereo plugs -- one for the headphone jack, one for the mic jack -- some noise filtering, and a mute switch. It would

Heck, while we're at it: Could the H165's mute switch be modified for PTT? :) Wayne On Dec 16, 2015, at 6:29 PM, "Wayne Burdick n...@elecraft.com [KX3]" wrote: > Hi all, > > Awhile back, Bill, KT5W, recommended the Logitech H165 "notebook headset" as > a decent stereo

Re: [Elecraft] Lightweight headset/mic solution for KX3?

Wayne, Sounds like you use an iPhone-like earbud w/mic with your KX3. Whose adapter cable do you use and what KX3 mic settings? 73, Hoop K9QJS On Dec 16, 2015, at 18:29 , Wayne Burdick wrote: Hi all, Awhile back, Bill, KT5W, recommended the Logitech H165 "notebook

You need raw material and labor to come together at the same time to build ANYTHING. Henry Ford proved that some years ago. It could be cash flow, marketing strategy, or other business reasons. Jim W6AIM Original message From: Merv Schweigert Date:

Re: [Elecraft] KIO3B

I am certain the money is not the problem - at least for Elecraft, but perhaps for their board house. The boards are being populated by a board assembly house in California. In order to increase their production of the finished boards, they would likely have to hire more people and purchase

Re: [Elecraft] KIO3B

I feel a bit responsible for this thread and it needs to end. The issue for me is that my radio is at my place on J6 where my electronics lab is not. I have three options: 1. Bring the radio back and fix it, 2. Try to fix it down there (with very minimal resources), or 3. Bring a new part down
