Re: [Elecraft] K3 suddenly dies

Thank you Dick. I will be returning to that QTH with another power supply and cable, deoxit and sandpaper to clean connections. I did turn the offending Astron supply off and on at the switch but didn't unplug it. Would that have been enough to reset the crowbar circuit? Gary W7TEA

Re: [Elecraft] K3 suddenly dies

Good news! Brought the rig home and connected to a different RS-35A and cable and all is well!! So, it's either the power supply or cable--easy and much less expensive fixes. Thank you all for your suggestions! Gary W7TEA - 73, Gary W7TEA K3 #1001, #5763 -- View this messa

[Elecraft] Another P3 freezes

Attempting to select Fixed-Tune in the Menu would not work until after a few reboots of the P3. In the archives I see that K9YC bonded the K3 and P3 chassis and I will try the same. Wonder if anyone else has come up with a fix. K3 v4.39 P3 v1.09 73, Gary W7TEA - 73, Gary W7TEA K3 #1

Re: [Elecraft] K3 working SPLIT

I don't believe so since SUB is not a programmable button as is M1-4 etc. But, I too would like to be able to program this button as REV in my K3 without a sub rx. Gary W7TEA - 73, Gary W7TEA K3 #1001, #5763 -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.c

Re: [Elecraft] iMac & RFI

We have two iMacs and a MacBook all within 8-15 feet of one leg of a slanting delta loop. I usually run 100w but crank up an amp to 500w on occasion. We have no RFI on any of the computers. The shack is on the second floor so RF grounding is marginal at best. 73, Gary - W7TEA - 73

Re: [Elecraft] advice on a rig

Susan, I whole heartedly agree with Toby. The Omni VII is a fine rig. If you're operating CW, the optional filters are a must IMHO. They act as much as band pass filters as "distributed roofing filters." Have fun, Gary W7TEA - 73, Gary W7TEA K3 #1001 -- View this mes

Re: [Elecraft] CW/CW-REV config option

I agree Rich. After a string of Kenwood rigs starting with a TS 820S, I've gotten used to tuning from the bottom of the band. MacLoggerDX allows me to map the program so that clicking on a CW spot delivers CW-R. 73 Gary W7TEA - 73, Gary W7TEA K3 #1001 -- View this message in co
