Re: [Elecraft] K3S, N1MM and DTR/RTS to send CW

Welcome to the same issue I have had since last August. If you hook up the radio to a powered PC or laptop USB jack, does the problem go away?  On K3S 10176 it does.  Still setting PTT-KEY to anything but OFF-OFF with USB disconnected should not light the TX front panel lamp or go full power key

That falls more under the category of lore than science.  By all accounts the K4 has a terrific receiver, but of the several possible reasons for what you experienced your receiver is at least a couple notches down the list. 73 Dave   AB7E On 6/24/2023 6:28 PM, David Fifield wrote: I’ve b

I’ve been using my K4 at 100W (per the FD rules) this afternoon on several bands. I am 1D OR. I can hear many many stations but hardly any of them can hear me. To me, this means that the K4 Rx is bomb-proof, sensitive, selective, and just, well, awesome. If the other stations had better receivers

Elecraft is a considerably different company now.  A greatly pared down product line and not at all the same customer communications that it built its reputation on. A variety of factors has no doubt led to this, but it is what it is. 73, Dave   AB7E On 6/24/2023 9:13 AM, n6...@outlook.co
