[Elecraft] 30m keyboard interference

2018-09-04 Thread Gwen Patton
Thanks to everyone with input on my keyboard issues. I managed to solve it today. I also have been exploring other issues suggested regarding RF and current in the shack, and have a choke on its way that should help with that, but I received one part first: a new keyboard. I'd been using a

I second that.  I have (had) a half dozen of these (one seems to have gone missing) to use on my K3 and K3S.  That said, I seldom use anything but headphones, unless a visitor is in the shack. Wes  N7WS On 9/4/2018 3:15 PM, Don Wilhelm wrote: The K3 can sound really good if one uses external

Bill, Yes, I agree. We had a phone station at Field Day where the operator used his own rig with an internal speaker (I think it was an Icom), and the sound was so grating to my ears that I thought about cutting his coax! I don't know how the operator deciphered the calls and reports. That

Don, you make me laugh. Internal speakers are a joke - never heard one, since the 50s when I got started in radio, worth listening to. Why they don't just leave it at a SPKR jack and a PHONES jack is beyond me. Bill W2BLC - K-line __
