Re: [Elecraft] Age of a K3S. Serial # 105XX

They are all <2 years old, being (iirc) announced in 2015 and shipping in 2016. Maybe < 1.5 years. I was really happy they released the K3S. It allowed me to pick up a used K3, upgrade it, and save some money. 73, Byron N6NUL On Thu, Oct 19, 2017 at 1:39 PM, wrote: >

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Question re KAT500 Utility for the Mac

Don, I think there may have been a software utility in the past which allowed you to do something like you were trying, but I may be thinking of the KRC2 utility instead. I am glad to hear that you are working OK now. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/19/2017 8:38 PM, Don Putnick wrote: Thanks, Don. No,

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Question re KAT500 Utility for the Mac

Thanks, Don. No, you didn't misunderstand my question. I was trying to select the antenna first, then select one or more bands second, which doesn't work. Your way was to do it the other way around; select the band first, then select one or more antennas second, which does work. All better. Thanks

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft AX1 antenna prototype & Pacificon antenna symposium

Looking forward to it!  And I'm the first speaker after lunch, talking about a compact, easy to build receive antenna for the low bands, especially 160M.  And if you can't make it on Friday, I'm scheduled for the same talk before lunch on Saturday. 73, Jim K9YC On 10/19/2017 7:54 AM, Wayne

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Audio

> Shift -1.25 > Width -2.7 This places the lower cutoff at DC! It is very wasteful and susceptible to significant hum/buzz. Far better to use FL=0.30 and FH=3.00 for a bandwidth of 3 KHz and reduce FH as needed based on QRM. > RX EQ 1-2 >

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Audio

Once again the good/bad/indifferent K3 audio surfaces. I do not get it - never have. The K3 is so audio customizable that it should be pleasing to nearly every user (I say nearly, as there are some whom will never be happy). To make a long story short, here is link to my current settings. Of
