Hi John, Make sure the RJ45 is plugged all the way in. You should hear a definite click when it is seated properly. 73, Fred KE7X For all KE7X Elecraft books, see www.ke7x.com From: Elecraft on behalf of John Buck Sent: Thursday, January 7, 2016 6:53

Aaron, Your K2 was tested with an Elecraft MH2 microphone which needs bias voltage. That Kenwood microphone is a dynamic type which should not have the bias voltage applied. Remove the left side panel and lift the end of the resistor soldered to pin 1 of the microphone jack. Since you have

Hello, The latest release of Win4K3Suite version 1.782 now supports K1EL’s WinKey hardware and can be used in the Win4K3Suite’s terminal mode. The terminal mode in Win4K3 supports the built in decoding of CW, FSK-D and PSK-D of the K3, K3S and KX3. It also provides software based text to digital

[Elecraft] K3 command syntax?

With the command below I had intended to switch to split, send my call, return to RX, and turn off split. Macro_11=;SWH13;KYW K3RWN K3RWN;RX;SWH13;SWH13; The only way I can get the Split to turn off is by sending two SWH13. Which is fine, but am I missing something as to why the first SWH13 d

I completed my K1 assembly/alignment/testing after about 27 hours. A couple of those hours were spent dealing with the periodic noise burst on RX. I'm happy to report, that with the addition of a couple of 0.47uF caps on the 6A and 6B power supply rails, the periodic noise burst signal level was

Rich, Some commands can take longer to execute that others. RX, for example, kicks off a process that may not be done by the time the first SWH13 is handled. You could probably substitute a small string of semicolons instead, with each one introducing a millisecond or two of delay. So: .

Bingo! The USB plug on the K3 was not fully clicked in place. Thanks to offline suggestions, I checked yet again and found that although I thought I heard a click when I first plugged it in, it REALLY clicked when I got serious about it. P3 is now showing the K3 frequency again. The instructi

Hello all I was curious I was listening to a cw conversation tonight and it was flying by. The operators were sending at 28 to 32 words a minute.

Hi Gerald, Be sure that you have ONE program decoding the text. For example, if you use the Elecraft Utility and you have a P3 with the SVGA attached or software like Win4K3Suite and more than one of them are trying to display the decoded text it will not work. So if you use the utility, make
