[Elecraft] K3/P3 RIT / XIT macro oddities (kinda long)

I’ve been playing with various macros to control RIT and XIT, and am seeing some oddities. Not necessarily bugs, but these do not seem to be optimal. If you have a K3 without the Sub Rx, turning on XIT will change the transmit frequency on whichever VFO is set to transmit: VFO A if Split is

Re: [Elecraft] Y-Adapter for K3S ACC - KPAK3AUX - KPA-1500

Hi Bob, My KPA500 is in the basement as will be the KA1500. I used to have an Acom 2000A alongside the KPA500. I have a switch in the shack that selects the one output from the K3 to an A/B switch for the inputs of both amps and an A/B switch on the output for both amps to a coax switch. I key

Re: [Elecraft] Y-Adapter for K3S ACC - KPAK3AUX - KPA-1500

If you want to connect both amplifiers to the same K3, one on Antenna Port 1, the second on Antenna Port 2, just connect a second KPAK3AUX cable between the KPA1500 and the Y-BOX. But the K3 will key both at the same time if they are both powered on, and they will both be on the same band, and

Alan, Good questions. The Elecraft tuners can not be beat for what they can tune, so the only real issue is how to transition to coax from open wire/ladder line. Probably, the easiest is to use a 4:1 current balun to make the transition. I would go with one that is rated at least 3KW. Why
