Many more EU station on 15 m today than I have seen for a while. 17 m gave me a QSO with OD5KU for an ATNO earlier in the day. Even earlier than that I worked JA on 160 m for the first time despite my hopelessly inadequate 5 ft agl antenna. I thought my luck must have changed but I suppose

Fake It keeps the tones between 1500-2000 Hz. (not 1000) so that the harmonic energy is out of the passband. Also the response of the sound card has some variation at different pitches (it's not a totally flat response), so try different tones. 73, Rick NK7I On 10/21/2020 6:19 AM, Dave

My K3 doing the same variation. Now I am running my K3, at 70% bellow 100 watts so it will not push above the limit like I did with my KPA500. My KPA500 is back at the Elecraft hospital. KE1F On 10/21/2020 10:48 AM, Dr. William J. Schmidt wrote: I have a K3 and a K3S at my Caribbean

I have a K3 and a K3S at my Caribbean station... I see the same behavior on my K3S but not on the K3. I've calibrated it several times but have not diagnosed it past that. I've seen the power vary by as much as 50% at times. Dr. William J. Schmidt - K9HZ J68HZ 8P6HK ZF2HZ PJ4/K9HZ VP5/K9HZ

Conrad, My friend just had the issue you described with a different brand radio. He was transmitting near the high end of the TX filter and on higher tones of the FT8 the power would drop causing the TX power to waiver. The fix for him was to enable Fake It in the WSJT-X radio settings tab.

Hello while I wait for feedback from the (no doubt overwhelmed) Elecraft support I thought that I would ask the group about a problem that I have with my K3S. When I run JT65B and even to a lesser extent FT8 I see unacceptable amplitude variation on both the 6m output and the transverter

I have just got a secondhand K2 # 5835 and find that the RF Gain pot needs replacing. The component is available from Elecraft but the shipping cost to the UK and the likely long delay means that I would prefer to source this here or in Europe from Mouser UK or similar supplier if possible. I
