[Elecraft] Memory Programming CW

He did not say how he was recording the memory but I guess we can assume that it was done with a key. The utility works very nice. Another work around and better one in my opinion is to omit the "DE KG7V" from the report and just send 5NN 80. I have made hundreds of thousands of QSOs without ever

Thanks for reminding me to look at dumb things. Yes, the BNC was pugged into the tuner board. Note that the radio has been working well for a while. I ran FT8 in New Hampshire using it in April/May. The most recent venture into the inside was to pull the batteries to recover from a hung

Probably a dumb question, but did you unplug the jumper from the BNC connector to the main board and plug it into the tuner board? Grant NQ5T K3 #2091, KX3 #8342 > On Jun 18, 2018, at 8:04 PM, Bill Frantz wrote: > > AE6JV __

[Elecraft] KX3 ATU problem

2018-06-18 Thread Bill Frantz
I have a problem with the ATU board for my KX3. With the board installed in the radio, I get high SWRs (20M settles into 25:1 or so) into a dummy load. When I removed the board and disable it in the menu, I get good SWRs on the dummy load. These high SWRs occure when the ATU is disabled in the

Ed, The audio settings for the K3 and K3 are the same, control the audio so you have 4 bars solid on the ALC meter with the 5th bar flashing. Use the computer output controls to establish that level with the KX3 Mic Gain set to mid-range. You will want to use the headphone output of the KX3

Yes, the stator-stator 15-120pF range applies to the mag loop butterfly configuration. stator-stator is equivalent to 2 stator-rotor capacitances (20-250pF) in series, approximately. Bob NW8L On Mon, 18 Jun 2018, Walter Underwood wrote: Here is a link to a butterfly capacitor at Radiohaus,

WSJT-X works just fine without a radio control interface -- simply let VOX put you in TX mode and set the radio to the frequency you want.  And, of course, audio I/O to/from computer. 73, Jim K9YC On 6/18/2018 6:35 AM, John Newgas wrote: I want to use my KX3 with a 12” Macbook for FT8 and
