Sent from Mail for Windows 10 If you do not have the added 6 meter element it should be a worthwhile addition. I think it makes the 3 element antenna a 4 element antenna on 6 meters and greatly improves the F/B ratio and adds a small gain. I have not added this to my Yagi, since I seldom

The cause of my chirp is my K3SYN board; the intermittent nature was purely related to what frequency I was on. Turns out when I was on 14044.74, plus or minus a little, the chirp was there, even when I was transmitting at a few watts out. I did the Config VCO Cal procedure Wayne mentioned,

I'm repairing a KPA500 for a friend that has the RX loss in standby mode. After a time, he also lost receive in operate mode. After doing a teardown, I found the problem. With the PA board removed, I checked K23A relay. The normally closed contact on the antenna side of the relay was open.

Hi Folks, I recently purchased a used PR6 6-Meter preamp in anticipation of the upcoming 6M summer season. My K3 has the KXV3A Interface option installed. I have a K-Line station; K3,P3,KAT500,KPA500. My 6M antenna is my SteppIR 3L. I've downloaded the PR6 and KXV3A manuals, and

Re: [Elecraft] K4 + Winlink

The switching speed should really be under 20mS to work reliably with an Amtor modem. Pactor (as used by Winlink) is less critical. Computer based transceivers can have slow change over due to long latency times. My K3 and my Icom IC-7300 are fine on Amtor (and Pactor). I have a KX3 but haven’t
