You would need to connect the K3's PC IN and OUT lines to
your computer soundcard and the RS-232 serial interface
for freq/mode info and setting up the PTT/CW.
I believe the only time you will need some other external
interface would be for true FSK. The line for this is on

Mike,
This is addressed in the FAQ.
ESSB is possible using the AM 6 kHz filter for
transmitting in SSB. The firmware would then limit the BW
to about 3.5 kHz.

Personally I like the idea of using an LCD screen for the
display. It would cut down on production costs and the
display would be nice and large. Or at least, to have the
option to direct the display to an external monitor.
Once done, the Elecraft panadapter should have some VERY

Don,
I don't think the concern here is with S9 signals, but
rather much stronger ones. Here is a clip from Erics
article talking about roofing filters..
If you only use the 2.7 kHz stock filter for CW or data
operation you will be significantly desensed once signals

Hi Anthony,
This would be difficult to do since the K3 has not hit the

While the VII has an ethernet port for remote control, the
K3 will have an extensive array of remote capabilities
built into its updatable firmware.

With a first IF of around 8 MHz, how can the receiver be

General does not mean continuous in this case. There is a

The K3 may be operated outside the Amateur bands, but this

Each receiver has 5 crystal IF filter slots. When

I believe most (if not all) the 8-pole filters are INRAD

they begin posting them on their website. But give it

The knob on the K3 is weighted and a custom design (and

Hi Raj.
This is from the FAQ page:
Do I need the KRC2 option for my future K3 to band switch
my non-Elecraft amp automatically?
At least initially. We may provide other popular control
protocols later.
Is there a relay output from the K3 to switch on an
external amplifier? If so, is it

Do you mean while in digital mode for PSK/RTTY?
When sending digital modes via the CW keyer the feedback

Now I see what Vic was referring to. Thought he meant the

This LED will also light if transmitting when the TX freq
and Rx freq are different. That's in SPLIT mode or when
the RIT/XIT are used.

There is a fan accessory from Ten Tec for the Orion that
is mounted on a metal bracket. It fits very nicely onto
the KPA100 heatsink and is pretty quiet. You can even put
a resistor in the line and drop the voltage from 12V to
5-7 V to cut down the RPM and make it almost dead quiet

One thing that may help is to adjust your filters just a
bit so that you are getting a little more lows than highs.
Does not take much of a change though. If you do this,
remember to do it for USB and LSB and for each filter (if
you wish).

If I remember correctly, the manual for the Sigma V says
to run the coax away from the antenna at ~90degrees as
much as possible to prevent coupling.
I had one of these in the past and was always amazed at
how well it performed for such a small antenna.
