[Elecraft] KX3 Dual Watch Audio Balance question / feature request

2013-11-08 Thread Andreas Junge
OK, so, I just got a KX3 and I think I am a bit spoiled by the K3 feature set :-) Is there a way to balance the audio between the two VFO’s when using Dual Watch? I often have the problem that the DX is really weak and the pile up is really loud. On the K3 there is an audio mixer control which

Let me add another data point why a KPA800 makes sense: I only have 120V in the shack, so I would like to see a solid state amp that can do 800W with a built in power supply. That's probably the max you can get out of that circuit 15A * 80% *120V = 1440W max continuos. At 50% efficiency you c

Chris, how about a 1Meg OHM resistor between the center of the coax connector and ground. That should bleed off the static, but not mess with the impedance. Andreas, N6NU On Sat, 2009-10-10 at 19:27 -0700, Chris Kantarjiev wrote: > I've just replaced the 1N5711 SWR diodes in my KAT100 for the Nt

Allan, What's your address? I have some extra black rubber "lace" that you can put under your K3. It made all the difference for me. This stuff is supposed to go into the cupboard or into kitchen drawers. Andreas, N6NU > -Original Message- > From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net > [m

My vote goes to the K1EL Winkeyer USB. Easy interfacing of computer and paddles. Hitting the paddles during computer genrated keying will immidiately stop the output and one can take over manually. Also has a speed pot and 4 buttons on the box. 73, Andreas, N6NU > -Original Message- >

Has this been resolved? If yes, how? I have the same problem right now. Tuning works, but xmit does not. Neither the button not the paddle. Help! I need to work K5P :-) 73, Andreas, N6NU On Sat, 2008-11-22 at 00:31 -0800, Paul W5DM wrote: > Tune function seems normal but no output on transmit
