2023-01-20 Thread Gerry via Elecraft
I usually use a foot switch with my K4 and AL82. I was wondering what would be the best settings for semi qsk  (vox)  with the K4 and AL82 to avoid hot switching.  I want to be conservative. What I've read so far online has been of little help. Tks 73 Gerry K1NY

Hi Dave, The K3s (and K3) bypasses the 100 watt PA module when you set the Power control to less than 11 watts and relies on the KLPA3A 10 watt PA driver module. No harm will come to the K3s when operating at 5 watts presuming you have an SWR within spec for the K3s. I used a simple optocoupler

Thanks Fred for the suggestion of using a Dow-Key relay, but they seem to be unavailable in UK/Europe except on Ebay secondhand for $120 or more & those are mostly 24V rather than 12V. Are there any alternatives Ray G3XLG __ Elecraft

On the subject of two radios operating in close proximity: I have a K3/10 (12w version) that I use with a KXPA-100 on 6m or HF. I have noted the noise level of the K3 S-meter rise about one s-unit when I transmit on 2m with the IC-9700 + 100w TE amplifier into a high-gain 2m vertical about

Good morning, I have two questions. I plan to operate a contest next weekend in the QRP mode. Is there any added danger for operating the K3s at the 5 watt level for the contest? The other question is about keying CW with the computer. I have N1MM working. It reads the frequency and controls
