Re: [Elecraft] KX3

John, This reflector covers all Elecraft products. The notch filter is only used to notch out an *unwanted* signal - use it carefully since you can easily notch out the signal that you are trying to receive. First use the DSP filter to home in on the wanted signal - the PBT knob. The roofi

[Elecraft] PX3 Green Cursor Opacity

The green VFO A cursor seems very bright in comparison to my P3. I don't see any way to adjust opacity but it would be nice to be able to do that. The purple VFO B cursor is about right. 73, John N1JM -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ __

[Elecraft] PX3 Green Cursor Bar Color Inverting

On some spans and some bands the VFO A Green cursor bar will invert color - looks like black bar with green lines. There is probably a quick fix for that. Haven't found it yet. 73, John N1JM -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ ___

[Elecraft] KAT500 memories

I understand the tuner holds tune data in memories for quicker tuning when changing frequencies, and it stores separate data for each antenna port. My question is, how many data points can these memories hold? In other words, how many frequencies per band per antenna can it hold? Harlan K4HES

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 memories

Harlan, There are enough to store data for each band segment in the 160m thru 6m bands. Page 15 of the KAT500 manual shows the width of each band segments:  Below 3 MHz the segments are 10 kHz wide.  From 3 MHz through 26 MHz the segments are 20 kHz wide.  From 26 MHz to 38 MHz the segments

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 memories

Are the segments on fixed frequencies? I like to work through the bands I use before contests to set up tuning. Sometimes in the following contest I find a frequency which seems to be between segments, retuning within 10KHz either side doesn't then seem to correct the tuning on the specific frequen

[Elecraft] KX3 settings for digital and other modes

Hi all, new ham here and a KX3 owner for three weeks. In the time I've had the radio, I've used it exclusively for FT8. The first thing I did was to set it up for digital modes using settings from a YouTube video by K5ACL. Specifically: AGC MD: off (default is on) Mike bias: off (default is

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 settings for digital and other modes

For phone, follow the “Basic Voice-Mode Setup” in the KX3 manual (page 15). There are some additional settings collected from this list for TX EQ and compression, I put together a blog post with those. https://observer.wunderwood.org/2015/09/09/transmit-audio-and-compression-with-the-elecraft-kx

Frank, As you have indicated, those settings will get you started. But definitely use DATA A, not USB. Reason is that Compression and EQ is automatically set to zero, and your SSB settings can remain undisturbed. You mic gain setting is the most important when using data modes. Set it so you

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 memories

Thanks all. I did notice the chart in the manual but wasn’t sure if the memory could hold all of that for all bands/antenna. I’m working on a program to automate this process (with manual transmit so as not to disturb ongoing QSO’s), and didn’t want to set up more than the memory would allow.

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 memories

Brian, If you have not 'trained' the tuner on each band segment, the KAT500 will use the settings from the closest band segment where data is available. After 'training' the tuner, do you switch the tuner to MANual? If not you should. If left in AUTO, there will be times when the tuner will

I wouldn't, and don't, put the KAT500 on top of the KPA500.  Mine is underneath the amp.  I've given consideration to building an aux box with the same footprint and height as the KAT500 to hold an SDR-IQ and other stuff (KRC2 maybe) and have it under the K3S. Wes  N7WS On 4/24/2018 3:56 PM,

The cursors look different depending on mode (CW, SSB, various digital, etc.) And the mode setting is stored per band. So probably it's just that different bands are set for different modes. Alan N1AL On 04/24/2018 11:09 AM, John_N1JM wrote: On some spans and some bands the VFO A Green cur
