My receipt for my K3s shows that I have a KPA3A installed. So I
performed the 6M Gain Reduction procedure as spelled out in the FW 5.67
upgrade instructions. I now only have 50w of output on 6M. Should I
still have 100w on 6M after doing the ATN6 setting?

Make sure your Registry is clean and no fragments from installs and
uninstalls exists. I use a product called CCleaner, Pro version, to
get rid of junk files and also clean the Registry. That's two different
functions. There is a free version available. You might be
surprised at the

I use a powered hub with my K3S, no problems. I haven't tried it with an
unpowered one.
Granted, maybe the KX3 is different...

You certainly don't need a SignaLink or any computer sound card
with an upgraded K3 or a K3S.
The early SignaLinks has a number of problems. I saw a web site
that gave directions for fixing them, opened up my, by now quite
old, SignaLink and found that every one of the modifications was
I run everything on hubs - except for the K3. And, to make matters
worse, updates often upset the computer and a complete reinstall is
needed. Back up, back up, and back more. Gotta luv Windows 10!!!

I can, and almost always do, use the K3/P3/KX3 utilities through
a hub to my Elecraft USB <--> RS232 cable or K3 upgraded
internal equivalent from my Mac. The connection between the two
USB <--> RS232 connections persist over shutting down and moving
the computer.
What is going on with
"Use a USB port on the computer, not on a hub."
Why is this restriction imposed on the K3 utility? The KAT500 and KPA500
utilities work fine through my 10 port hub.

Are you using a USB to serial adapter? If so, have you downloaded and
installed the latest drivers for that adapter (if the Elecraft KUSB the
drivers are from FTDI). Reboot the computer after installation.
Use a USB port on the computer, not on a hub.

Hello Doug et all
The CE -marking is not "A REAL" approval, it's just A manufacturers
claim of the product fullfilling the reqired standards. UL listing on
it's behalf is an approval that's granted for the manufacturer after
testing and inspection. The applicant must send all of the drawings,
Paul (and Bob, etal):
I quite agree. No signal link device is needed to do digital modes
with either K3 or K3s.
I have a K3 (SN 4340) which has the RS232 control port. I bought the
USB/RS232 conversion cable from Elecraft. I run JT65 just fine with
two RS audio cables to my computer.
It's the I/O RJ45 connector on the back of the 1258, pin 4, that will
key the remote radio, I use it with a Winkey3. Pin 8 it ground, and
while it is documented in a combination of schematic and pin-out
diagram, it is, as Rick says, decidedly non-obvious.

Paul,
You are correct the K3s does have a built in sound card and it can
obviate the need for a SignaLink interface. However, you can just use
the radio's VOX vice computer controlled PTT. It works fine this way.
This is what I do.

I don’t use a Signalink or any external device beyond the PC to operate FT8 on
my K3s.
Maybe it's a K3s option (I just can’t remember if it was included or not) but
the K3s USB I have enables rig control and also presents the K3s internal

The Signalink provides only the audio path to / from the computer and

You will need either the RS232 or USB interface between the radio and

The SignaLink has both a soundcard and a USB to Serial port adapter. Be
certain that the proper COM port and soundcard are selected in the data

The number of turns on T4 is not likely to make much of a difference,
but I recommend correcting it just the same.
However, it is an indicator that there may be other toroids in that K1

As for the transmit problem, it is only a guess

as K1 relay so I replaced them all after long time searching them on the
market (EU).
