[Elecraft] K2 kit ordering

Hi, So it's time I got on with this, and I can see it happening really soon. Before I proceed though I'd like to get an idea about shipping and delivery. The most viable option for me is to have the kit shipped to a UK address where I can pick it up on one of my visits so if you are in the

I generally run AGC off and the rf gain is never fully open. I will continue to play with settings. My settings were fairly close but I will try these. Thanks for the guide! W0MU On 2/24/2017 12:54 PM, Jim Brown wrote: On Thu,2/23/2017 6:32 PM, Bob Wilson, N6TV wrote: For reference, here

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Receiver mush

I concur with most, but not all, of N6TV's recommendations below. If we all agreed on all the CONFIG parameters they wouldn't need to be variable! One that I particularly disagree with is how to narrow the IF bandwidth in SSB mode. The recommendation to narrow the bandwidth and then lower the

Re: [Elecraft] High Tx IMD with new K3s/10

Benny, I recently had Elecraft replace a KLPA3A again. They also did the Tx IMD mod and an alignment. I am now seeing the following 3rd order IMDs: 4W -40 dBc 8W -40 dBc 9W -35 dBc 10W -30 dBc 12W -20 dBc What is also encouraging is that now the higher order IMDs (5, 7 & 9th) stay at

Could be. I don't have the new synthesizers but the noise is there they say. And just cannot be heard because of the higher phase noise. Maybe my phase noise is low or my fan electrical noise is high. Thanks for the tip. Chuck Hawley c-haw...@illinois.edu Amateur Radio, KE9UW aka Jack, BMW

Re: [Elecraft] New Firmware (k3fw5r57) Causes Odd Sound

Is it possible you need the KPAIO3MDKT? This cures some issues with electrical fan noise getting into the transmit signal under some conditions after the KSYN3A is installed in all K3 radios and K3S radios before serial (about) 10730. > On Feb 23, 2017, at 9:42 AM, ke9uw

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Receiver mush

That is a very good list to combat crowded band conditions and allow copy of weak signals near stronger signals. For the last few items on that list, you may want to consider alternatives for selecting the filters and the use of SHIFT. It is a matter of "operating style" - I know Bob is

The problem might be that the reflector doesn't pass HTML, just text. I'm not sure about this, but remember reading it somewhere. 73, matt W6NIA On 2/24/2017 11:31 AM, Bob Wilson, N6TV wrote: On Fri, Feb 24, 2017 at 10:54 AM, Jim Brown wrote: On Thu,2/23/2017

Re: [Elecraft] Software updates

The differences between K3 and K3S firmware features are very minor, all having to do with hardware addressing. For example, the K3S has a second attenuator section. Other than this, there is no difference in functionality. The reason there are two different .hex files in the load package is

Re: [Elecraft] Software updates

Knut, The functions of the K3 and K3S are the same, and will likely remain the same. The differences are in the hardware, so a 2nd MCU file has been in place for some time to allow for a change in the microcontroller used in later K3s and the K3S. I can envision this being expanded, not to

Re: [Elecraft] Software updates

Hi Don, Hold on a second. Up to this point the firmware for the K3 and the K3S has been exactly the same. The firmware figures out at run time which features are available whether it being in the K3 or the K3S and behaves accordingly. Is there something changed here? That would really complicate
