Using any balun with an unbalanced tuner to feed balanced line can be
bad news (your mileage may vary, standard disclaimers apply). Under
highly reactive loads, a balun used like this can become quite lossy.

I'm curious what controller/microprocessor(s) is/are used in the K3 and
what languages or development tools are used to program it at Elecraft?

You could desolder all the components in the modules, put them in little
bags, and then solder them back on the boards. That would make it a
rather challenging kit.

Hell is easier than you think to generate and decode (easier than CW

The biggest challenge with that is the dot matrix LCD display code.

amp connections and a connector that will withstand combat. An RG-45
might be a candidate, but it has half the pins and arguably isn't as
robust as a D sub. (An outright bad choice would have been one of those
72 pin SCSI connectors.)

Cinch Jones made sense back when you needed pins to handle 10 or 15 amps
of filament supply and manufacturing couldn't technically or

I've often wondered what the purpose of optional high stability
reference oscillators in HF rigs is. A couple hertz between friends on
CW, SSB, or AM isn't noticeable. Even PSK can handle slow drift quite
well. Is there some other mystery mode or application that requires the

Can the K3 tune in various time signals on HF, look at the delays from
each, triangulate, determine what country you're in, and then
automagically set the ID timer accordingly?

I don't think it's the keyer's fault; the keyer is just responsible for
timing. My keyer code emulates a bug mode; in regular iambic or bug

Forgive my ignorance, but what applications above 1 Ghz use 75 ohm
impedances? CATV is the only major 75 ohm application I can think of,
and that's 1 Ghz and below.
