In the same category as gold-plated speaker wire. (;-0) Kudos to Elecraft for limiting TX audio to 4 KHZ, regardless of filter selection. ESSB is an abomination on the amateur bands! 73! K0PP On Jul 4, 2016 5:09 PM, "Jim Brown" wrote: > On Mon,7/4/2016 2:43 PM, glcazz...@alice.it wrote: >

[Elecraft] Rx antenna for K3's 2nd receiver

My K3's second receiver is connected directly to the BNC antenna connector with a TMP M/F jumper cable I made, and is permanently connected to a 6M omni antenna. It's (only) used for listening for 6M openings. 73 Ken - K0PP __ Elecraft

FWIW Rose -always- uses USPS Priority Mail for shipping her cases and dust covers. Don't recall a package ever taking longer than three days to anywhere in the US from here in the outback of Montana, and the tracking number is a bonus for her and the customer. UPS and FedEx (ugh!) are both via a

Re: [Elecraft] K3S "HI-RFI" warning a bit too sensitive?

Perhaps a coax stub cut for the 49 MHZ frequency and "T'd" off the connector used by your 6M antenna could provide enough attenuation to alleviate the problem. 73 K0PP I believe the manual states that it takes a watt or two of power at the antenna connector to set off the HI-RFI warning. Imagine

[Elecraft] K, KX radio's and DTMF tones

For what seemingly is a relatively small number of FM users, DTMF tones are easily achieved with a DTMF pad-equipped microphone, and that would seem to be much better than complicating the already "busy" push-button operation. I'm probably missing something . 73 __

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and KX3 questions for Wayne

Bill, The front panel voltage display on a KX3 will -not- be accurate for the voltage at the input- power connector of the KXPA100. This voltage must be measured AT THE CONNECTOR on the rear of the KXPA100 to know what's being delivered to the PA. 73! K0PP On Sun, May 22, 2016 at 9:40 AM, Nr4c

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and KX3 questions for Wayne

Mike, A normal "12V" battery in a vehicle is almost never at 12V. About 14.4 when the engine is running, and about 13.8 after when not under charge. A battery measuring "12V" is suspect. Read the specified input voltage AT THE POWER INPUT connector ... I'll wager it's lower than what's called f
