Jim, everythingis okay with the hearing aids in my ears and I use an SP3
speaker, Sony earbuds, Apple earbuds, KOSS PRO headphones, Bose QC25 headsets,
all without any issue. As soon as I put on the CM-500s the aids switch to
magnetic input and work well until the RF is present.
The question
Hi Michael,
Are you sure it's the headphones? What sort of antenna are you using?
The current in an antenna creates a magnetic field that can be quite
strong in the near field. When I lived in Chicago, my best antenna for
80 and 160 was a long wire that ended in the shack, and it had a
Someone asked me recently whether a KAT500 could be remote-controlled and
placed closer to the antenna(s). The answer is yes: All functions of the KAT500
can be conveniently controlled via our KAT500 Utility program, which runs on
any PC. Alternatively, you could write your own controller
Are the earphone drivers in the Heil Proset magnetically shielded? The drivers
in my Yamaha CM-500 are not and they cause problems with the telecoils
(magnetic pickups) in my Kirkland Signature 7.0 hearing aids. When running
more than 100 watts on 80 or 40 the RF causes the hearing aids to
It's been a while since I used Win4K3, but I believe the EQ settings can be
set there. That's probably why yours are getting set back.

Email Tom (author of Win4K3) and see if he has some kind of workaround.

How are you turning off the K3? I seem to recall that some settings
aren't saved if you turn it off by removing power.

Gary,
Are you using any software to control the K3?
I have just been informed that Win4K3 will often change the EQ settings.
Remove the USB or RS-232 connection and try it with only the K3, then
set the SSB TX EQ. Check later to see if it has changed.

Hi Don,
No, I set them for SSB and at a later time
the TX EQ is flat and I have to change it
back to the settings to fit my mic. I
don't use AM except to listen to broadcast
stations & listen to the nature of RFI.
It was when in AM I was listening to RFI
that I thought to check the TX EQ
Gary,
The EQ settings are per-mode.
If you set them for SSB mode and then go to AM mode, you will find them
set flat.
Is that possibly the problem?

The LDG IC-PAC-6 tuner cable is plug-n-play with the KAT500 and Icom’s that
support the mating external tuner connector. It is 6’ long and costs $12

works with my KAT500.
The cable also comes in a 14” version but that

I looked at that as a possibility, did a cursory look at an MFJ auto-tuner

the heat shrink on the MFJ cable, disassemble, do

The wiring for the Icom AH4 Interface is detailed on page 8 of the

I don't know how the MFJ cable is wired.
BTW - there are no hyphens in Elecraft product designations, so it is
the "KAT500"
Thanks Don
I was hoping to find something I can order from DigiKey only due to the
minimum shipping costs from the US into Canada and high-ish. Digi-Key
ships from within Canada for about $6 with overnight shipping.
I assume that you have a stock pile of these? :)

Michael,
Yes, DigiKey no longer has stock. It is an obsolete part.
Try Elecraft, p/n E580020 - PHEMT, ATF34143. They should have some in
stock.
The XV manuals are on the new Elecraft website. Hover your mouse over
the Support tab and click on Manuals. Then open the Radio Accessory
New guy here with a question. I am about to get a KAT-500 to mate to my

It looks like my Q3 ATF34143 has blown and needs to be replaced.
However, it doesn't seem to be available anywhere that I can find.
Is there a replacement that can be recommended?
BTW, I went to check the latest XV144 manual and that page could not be
found from the website.
many thanks,
Apologies if this has been suggested
already, I've got too many irons in the
fire and might have missed/forgotten if
this was earlier said; I no longer use a
wired router, all my computers are
