[Elecraft] Flashing TX - sort of fixed

I'm not sure I "solved" it, but here's how I got the flashing TX to stop. Again, this is with a K3S, fw 5.50. Nothing attached to the rear panel, especially the ACC connector. LCD TX was constantly flashing. Went into Config: TX Inh, which was set to Inh=LO.  set Inh=Off. Flashing  TX stopped,

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft SSB Net Results Nov 6, 2016

I have seen activity on frequencies just above the net frequency of 14,303.5, so ESSB might interfere with those people. Given how hard it is to pull some net stations out of the noise, most stations are probably using rather narrow receive bandwidths, so a full spectrum signal will be cut off

[Elecraft] Always Flashing TX on K3S on power up

I'm getting an always-flashing TX on the LCD about 3 seconds after I power up our K3S; I'm running  firmware 5.50 (though it was happening with 5.38). There are no "PTT ERR" or "KEY ERR" messages displayed on power up. The ONLY connections on the rear panel are Antenna and Power -- Nothing plugg

Re: [Elecraft] AGC INFORMATION

Louis, FWIW I like my K3 noisy, almost so it sounds like there is no AGC action, just enough to protect my ears from an unexpected loud signal. I've found that this makes it easiest to copy extremely weak CW signals that are below the noise, and prevents static pops from covering up the signal. T

Re: [Elecraft] AGC INFORMATION

Louis, I am not one to give you specific settings for you to just plug in and use. If I did so, I would just tell you to use the default settings. Every location and operating style is different, and you can enhance the AGC performance to meet your particular situation. Please read the "Nois

[Elecraft] SWR Problem and KPXA 100 behavior

Hello Group, I am having a problem that I have not seen before. I have a KX3 connected to a KPXA100. When I tune my yagi, I get 1.2 to 1 SWR when I press the tune button on 10-15--20. The rig shows that the SWR does not change during CW transmissions. When running 100W, the LED indicator o

Re: [Elecraft] Weighted Knobs in K3?

Used one for years. Never had a problem. The encoder is not THAT fragile. The extra weight is very pleasant to have. 73, Doug -- K0DXV On 11/14/16 6:32 PM, Ed via Elecraft wrote: Before I install 73inc weighted knobs on my K3S, is anybody of the opinion that these knobs cause long-term da

Re: [Elecraft] Low Line-In level

Dragan, Does the K3 still respond to microphone input as it did before? If the answer is YES, then I would suspect the soundcard is the source of your problem. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/14/2016 12:48 PM, Dragan 4O4A wrote: I am an occasional user of digital modes. My K3 is conntected to my PCs via

Re: [Elecraft] Weighted Knobs in K3?

While we're on the subject of protection for the K3, back in the fall of 2007, when we were asked to setup a display table for the newly released rigs (sn 008 & 021) for the Lebanon Hamfest and in a quandry as to how to transport them safely, the late Tom Hammond (N0SS) came across military sur

Re: [Elecraft] Weighted Knobs in K3?

Ed ... They've been installed on my K3 for 9 years, and on my KX3 ever since it came out. No problems so far. The company is 73cnc, by the way. Not 73inc. They no longer make the spun aluminum knobs for the K3, unfortunately. Just the plain black ones. 73, Kent K9ZTV > On Nov 14, 201

Re: [Elecraft] Weighted Knobs in K3?

Be aware that if you ship the radio, you will want to remove the heavy knobs... If the radio is man handled, the the moment of inertia, (for lack of a better term), can get quite high when the package is dropped, and break the encoder shaft. Dave On 11/14/2016 07:07 PM, Randy Farmer wrote:
