Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] Band Plans

The original poster is in Australia. He’d be thrilled to hit a 6 m repeater in Cincinnati, but that might not be his primary use. :-) It appears that VK has permission to use 50-54 MHz, so I’m not sure why that isn’t working. The KX3 will work at 54 MHz. Maybe an e-mail to supp...@elecraft.com

Re: [Elecraft] Recommendation please

Lee, Why use an interface box at all? The K3 has isolation transformers 'in the K3 box', and all you need is an inexpensive external soundcard. That is true no matter what the software soundcard digital mode may be. For rig control with the P3 in the station mix, the RS-232 cable to the PC

Re: [Elecraft] New K4 wish list

I have just a few criteria, and I’m at the age that it isn’t terribly likely I’d replace my K3 (or K3S) anyway unless the “new” thing were absolutely positively spectacular. Whatever the K4 is, as prime criteria, I don’t want to have to depend on someone else's OS, someone else’s glitchy

I wonder if that had anything to do with (in the past at least) 50V and up were considered "dangerous" voltages that required special protection and warnings. Of course any of us who happened to get across the circuit with even a 12V battery and a large inductance in series disagreed - after we

Most rigs are designed for a range (13.8V +- 15%). IMD3 are better at higher voltage, but excellent IMD3 with predistortion can make this point moot. Many computer chips operate at 1.5V, and conversion from 12V is normal. Expert amp 1.3k operates at full power from 90 to 270V. Apache 8000 has

Re: [Elecraft] Is K4 talk verboten?

Perhaps it does not matter what we write because most likely Elecraft is already working on it. The advantages of K3 are high blocking and dynamic ranges together with quiet synthesizer. Also lighweight and good ergonomics to those who got used to current. Minuses are lots of connectors/cables
