Hi to the group.
I had a good time working field day QRP Battery and made 119 5 watt CW contacts
using a solar panel for charging etc.
I plan to go on vacation in about a week and bought a MFJ-4416B battery booster
to use with my KX3 and KPA100 in my camper. I see a SO239 jack on the booster

K6DGW's post answers most of your questions, but I'll add a couple more
points. You have to use a stereo plug for any key plugged into an
Elecraft rig. Even straight keys and bugs with only two wires.
Also, as Fred points out, you can pretty much do whatever you want and
left handers often jus
One side is dits, other side is dahs, and the 3rd wire is the common.
If you're right-handed, you probably want the dits on the left [thumb]
and the dahs on the right [fingers]. If you're left-handed, you're sort
of on your own, I am, and I used to paddle right, have slowly migrated
left, but
Hi ll,
Trying to set up a single lever paddle for my K3. The more I read the more
confused, for some reason, it gets. Can someone assist with this hook up, do I
use a stereo plug, and how do I set up the menu ?
Thanks/73's,

Ted,

KPA100, KAT100, KDSP2, etc. I've even added the
3rd party MA Board and the Rework eliminator

When I got my KX3, I built a pair of transistor switches that fit in a DE-9
shell. Added cables for RX/TX, PTT and CW KEYING and now it works just like a
K3 with CAT, PTT and CW using DTR, and RTS from n1mm all from a standard KUSB
that works with the K3.

Can't answer your second question about the fans, but I initially
thought that my K2 "just sounded 'nicer'" than my K3. It's not a huge
difference, and I'm fairly deaf anyway, so I don't have a definitive,
iron-clad answer but:

Ted,
You would find the K3 RX EQ to be beneficial to your ears.
The IF filtering in the K2 causes the high frequency to roll off, but
the stock K3 has a flatter response.
If you have an older K3, the DSP board exchange or the LPF added to the
DSP board will help by rolling off the high freque
K2's audio IS sweet sounding, isn't it? :-)(Not meant as a dig at the
K3; in my - ok, admitted somewhat limited - experience, I'm not sure
I've ever heard an SDR receiver having audio that matched that of a good
analogue receiver, K2, Drake R4B, etc., notwithstanding any of the
"tweaks" allowe
I know this is runs the risk of reopening an old thread, so I’ll keep the
question focused:
During the FD this weekend I spent about half the time with the K3 line, and
half with the K2. Using the same headset, same antennas, same ambient
environment, but of necessity different filter configur

The limit is in the KX3 firmware. According to the K3&KX3 Programmer's
Manual, the upper limit on the length of a text message that can be sent
using the KY command is 24 characters. Your original message already
comprises 24 characters after the * macros are expanded, so the added "cq "
pushed it

Ken,
Just as verification to what David told you --
Pick the TRN (XV) number that you wish to use for the XV432 - that is
the "n" in the XVn menu settings.
XVn RF is the output band for your transverter. The KX3 should show the
output frequency.
XVn PWR is the power *input* to your XV432.
Thank you David for the explanations! The setup took only minutes after
I knew what the settings meant.
Thanks again and 73,
Ken Alexander
