Everyone, I have an old K3 ( Serial # 934 ) and was starting to be plagued by interconnection problems inside of my K3 caused by the tin plated plugs. After contacting Elecraft I received 2 connector kits. One for the 100 watt power amp connections ( KPA3 ) and one for the front panel ( J30 and 35

The remaining tin-plated connectors are not a problem because both the pins and sockets are the same metal. The problem with the replaced connectors is that the sockets were tin-plated and the pins were gold-plated (maybe the other way around). Over time the dissimilarity of these two metals deve

I think what you are looking for is the menu "Fix Track". In Tracking mode the spectrum scrolls as you tune. In Fixed mode the spectrum stays put and the cursor moves. The menu choice toggles between the two. 73, Brian, K0DTJ > On Apr 20, 2016, at 09:12, Richard W Hemingway wrote: > > Hello

Kenwood's dynamic microphones are compatible with the Elecraft pinout. Be cautious of those with an amplifier which need a voltage on pin 5 - Elecraft puts the DC voltage on pin 6, so those will not work unless the mic plug wiring is altered. You can use just about any dynamic or electret ele
