[Elecraft] K3 ALC

Can someone tell me if there is an instruction on how to set the ALC on a K3 with the latest Elecraft sound card installed? The original manual was written B4 the internal sound card was an option. I am operating FT8 mode and it worked fine with my signal Link, but now I suspect that I am

I run my ham software on Mac, not Linux, but I’d tag that post with “Nice Elmering”. It was specific and clear. Sorry for the meta-discussion, but I rode herd on netnews discussion groups for 5000+ engineers at HP for about a decade. I’ve seen more than my share of good and bad net behavior.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 SSB option problem

Gordon, I don't know how you would use any soundcard data to check that, but if you have an instrument that can extract crystal parameters, that will work.  It is easier to just assume your crystal set is somewhere close to the midpoint, and that is 3.6. When you get it all together, you

Re: [Elecraft] K2 SSB option problem

Gordon, If there is no number inked in somewhere on that envelope, someone dropped the ball when sorting the crystals. In the absence of a calibration number, assume it is 3.6 - that is the most common. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/21/2018 6:37 PM, Gordon LaPoint wrote: I'm building a K2, and so far

I'm building a K2, and so far its working.  I'm now assembling the KSB2 ssb adapter.  In the step where I'm to put in the Filter Crystal set I'm supposed to find a calibration number on the envelope.   the Part number is E850006, the only other numbers on the envelope are: 29870-1  171109   ,

Re: [Elecraft] K3: CM500 vs. SB40

More thinking. I use a pair of Sony MDR-V600 stereo headset in the ham shack (only) so attaching ModMic permanently is better idea. I know this headset fits over my hearing aids nicely. I still might also get a CM-500 for comparison. If it works better than the ModMic I'm out very little

Re: [Elecraft] K3: CM500 vs. SB40

Thanks to for the many replies. Walter offers an interesting option of the ModMic. Model-4 is cheaper with single cord and no mute switch (not needed in PTT ham radio). Model-5 has switchable mic elements (not sure if that would be useful) which is likely to work best with wind-blast noise?

Re: [Elecraft] KPOD Beep?

The beeps are not very loud, and fairly high pitched. I don’t bother shutting them off because I never operate on a speaker and don’t notice them. But if your high frequency hearing is pretty good you might notice the beeps in a quiet room. Ken K6MR From: Kenneth Moorman

Re: [Elecraft] KPOD Beep?

How loud are these beeps? I can barely hear mine and only if I put my ear directly above the KPod front panel. I suspect I have a defective sound device and am not that hard of hearing. Ken, NU4I -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net

Another hint for those with moderate hearing loss.  Turn off your aids and set RXEQ for maximum boost on the top bands, maximum cut on the lower bands.  Several years ago, I recommended this to a friend with a lot of loss, and he uses it successfully to work CW. 73, Jim K9YC On 3/21/2018

Ed, I have hearing aids, and find I cannot use the CM500 without removing the aids - they cause howls. My hearing aids are over the ear type as yours are. Fortunately, my low frequency hearing is about normal, so I can work without the hearing aids - at least for ham radio purposes. See if

Yes, personal fit and comfort is one of the most important characteristics of headsets, especially when we wear them for long periods. Which is a great reason why these observations from users is so valuable.  Whether the CM500 will work for Ed depends on the size of his aids and exact
