Re: [Elecraft] Using the K3s with a Tokyo Hy-Power HL-1.5KFX amp.

HiThere is another way to do this if you use Win4k3suite. Just plug the rs232 out from the amp into your computer, and then connect directly to it in Win4k3suite using the auxiliary port. Then just set the port settings to generate band info or auto information. It will follow the bands at that

[Elecraft] Using the K3s with a Tokyo Hy-Power HL-1.5KFX amp.

Is there a cable available to allow automatic band switching of this amp from the K3s?(Or advice on how to make one up.) The amp and rig work well together, but automatic band switching would be nice! The only reference I have found online refers to adding pull up resistors to the (olde

Re: [Elecraft] 6 meters is open

8 W on 6 m would suggest a KX3. The KX2 does not have that band. 8 W is the spec’ed power out for the KX3 on that band. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Jun 5, 2017, at 3:02 PM, Bill Johnson wrote: > > Wayne which radio? K3S? > > 73, > Bill >

One of the Elecraft wattmeteror P3 sensor elements and a little bit of circuitry external to the transmitter would meet your requirements. Would not even take that ... an NE555, some resistors, capacitors, maybe a couple NAND or NOR gates is all it takes. Set up an "N" minute timer triggered

Re: [Elecraft] K3s feature request: deadman timer

My early K3 with late FW quits after 30 seconds of continuous dits or dahs[kitten on the paddle problem]. The radio works fine on JT and RTTY modes, so it's really a "semi-deadman" based inside the device which may be stuck in transmit. That wouldn't meet the requirements you originally describ
