I've received several inquiries about the software used - as I indicated, it's called SpectraPlus. Unfortunately it's not freebie software. 73, Barry N1EU Barry N1EU wrote: My SpectraPlus plots are viewable at http://www.n1eu.com/images/K3_2700usb_lsb.gif -- View this message

[Elecraft] K3 filter trade?

This is perhaps a long shot, but anybody out there want to trade their narrow 1.8Khz K3 filter for a 2.8Khz filter? Please reply off list. 73, Barry N1EU ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post

[Elecraft] K3 Kit vs Ready Built

I am about to bite the bullet and order a K3. However I am not sure whether to buy the kit or the K3 ready built. I did successfully build a K2 some years ago and guess that the K3 build is very much simpler. Any comments on potential building pitfalls would be appreciated. Barry

[Elecraft] K3 AGC not so bad (was: K3 AGC bad)

Go into config menu and change AGC SLP to 15 and see if that helps this issue. (p 50 of manual) 73, Barry N1EU My K3 is a super CW rig and a poor SSB rig. at least to this date 1. AGC blasts from weak to strong sig... does not smooth out the audio enuf. Vy short tone sigs pierce my

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Equalization Memories - Missing?

I've had the same thought. I assume that eventually we'll have some software support with a nice GUI to set/save EQ settings on a PC. But perhaps recruiting M1-M4 buttons to somehow save/restore 4 RX EQ and 4 TX EQ settings would be really nice. 73, Barry N1EU WB6MND wrote: I'm a new K3

[Elecraft] K3 Convergence

Speaking of the K3's computer interface - I've noticed that no K3 responses are generated for the following K3 front panel buttons: RIT, XIT, AGC OFF, DUAL PB, NB, NR and NTCH. Also, the response for XFIL is always FW. I am using the most recent firmware.

RE: [Elecraft] K3 Mic Connector

If you built the kit, you might not have mounted the front panel properly and fully seated the mic connector. Go to http://www.zerobeat.net/mediawiki/index.php/K3_Kit_Building and read the tips under Front Panel and DSP. Check what is described about seating the mic connector. 73, Barry N1EU
