If you're planning to go to the Visalia DX convention this weekend

We're very interested in hearing about your potential uses for the K-Pod,

Thanks, Dave. We had lots of input from our long-standing K-Line focus group.

Short answer: yes. We have a bit more firmware to write, but this is the plan.

Subject: [Elecraft] New Elecraft Product: K-Pod Control Panel for K3S and K3
Hi all,
We've had many requests for a small control panel (or pod) as an extension to
the K3 and K3S transceivers. We finally got around to it!
Our new K-Pod is a very compact unit, featuring a precision tuning knob, VFO
A/B/offset rocker switch, and 8 programmable tactile-feedback switches. S

didn't wobble, on two different KX-1's. Because of the position of the

Be very careful..Those old musical instrument cases are likely to be
haunted by the ghost of the instrument it held.
The instrument, if not current IN the case will drive you nutz if it finds
that you're using for something else.
By the way Clarinets are the absolute WORST for this phenomenon.

OK, I think I have it straight now. Thanks to all, and especially to

For the benefit of all, here is what I learned today:

On RTTY, AF limiting doesn't occur because I run the AF Gain very low. I
only need to hear the presence or absence of a RTTY signal.
On CW, I agree, because I turn the AF Gain up higher. But, I also run a
lower AGC THR than I would on RTTY. Thus, when changing modes between CW
and RTTY, it is e

You need some way for MMTTY to switch the K3S between receive and transmit.

For RTTY, AGC should be Off, another conflict with conventional
thinking.
Ed is correct on this, but turning AGC off on the K3 causes
problems with loud signals due to the hard-limiting and
distorting action of the AF Limiter. A better approach with the
K3 is to use fast AGC, AGC SLP=0, and
RTTY audio tones are personal choice only affecting the audio at your

using 400 Hz in the same QSO. The local audio tones we each choose have no
I have had really good luck using the 500hz roofing filter and adjusting down
to 400Hz with DSP for rag chewing. In contests I will adjust to 350 or even

decode.
I've also made adjustments to AGC, which have also been an

Too narrow a filter results in "smearing" one bit into the next -
equivalent to severe multi-path - which causes a degraded signal
to noise ratio. While a narrow IF filter may reduce interference
from AGC capture, there is a fine line between the improvement

The optimal band width may depend on how crowded the band is. Wide
filtering may work well for a DXer trying to copy a super weak signal on a
quiet band. I only use RTTY in contests when the bands are packed and I
