Hi, I am setting up for the CQ160 SSB contest and notice a strange behaviour with my K3. Opening the second RX there are no received signals. Second RX/Diversity works well in CW, but not in SSB. If I go into settings and filter settings, then press SUB the receiver starts. It continues working

Dave, I know this works with the DVK voice memories, because I have done exactly that. However, you will not be able to program CW/digital message memories as easily, because they have to be recorded using the K3's internal CW keyer (from the paddle jack). You can't record them from the straight k

You can send from the message memories pre-programmed into the remote K3, however you cannot program them remotely as you found.  I'm not sure about AD REC and AF PLAY, haven't tried them.  I don't believe you can program macros into switches remotely either, but again, haven't tried although I

This is a good method.   See my article in ARRL QST, September 2015, TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE ON FREQUENCY.   I suggest using software for PSK-31 as the AFC will always lock onto the audio frequency and then show the actual frequency.  It is usually good for 1 Hz resolution. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 2/

A better method is to tune the receiver to the carrier frequency of the highest WWV frequency you can hear. Then put the receiver in SSB mode and look at the line out audio with a soundcard-based spectrum analyzer such as Spectrum Lab (https://www.qsl.net/dl4yhf/spectra1.html). Check to see if

Another possibility is all those SDR's sitting in unheated sheds sending RBN spots. That, of course, would lead to more or less random frequency errors. 73, Scott K9MA On 2/21/2019 23:12, Mike Flowers wrote: Perhaps what we are seeing here is the cumulative error of the transceivers in the c

I'm not sure what is gained by checking REF CAL against /all /WWV frequencies.  The manual suggests using the highest frequency on which WWV can be copied ... 10 or 15 MHz (10,000 watts), or (better) 20 MHz (2500 watts) if propagation is right. Performing the REF CAL calibration against WWV'

Re: [Elecraft] K3- To zero beat or not to zero beat

The method I've used to check my K3S, put the radio in CW mode, tune to each WWV frequency and then press SPOT.   The automatic SPOT function will bring the radio to the WWV frequency +/- 1 Hz. The SPOT function matches the receiver sidetone offset of the WWV carrier and the audio of WWV is not
