As a new K3 owner (kit-built), I'm still on a steep learning curve, but I
thought I'd tap into expertise on the reflector with a question about the K3
and CommCat, my logging program. When I move spots from CommCat's spot manager
to the radio, more often than not the radio goes into split mode,
I recently completed a K3 kit. All is well except that occasionally and
unpredictably, RF output drops to zero. This can happen whether I'm operating
barefoot, driving my Alpha, when simplex, or when split. If simplex, then going
to split and back to simplex will often result in restoration o
Thanks to Stewart and Ignacy for their replies. At least I'm not alone! The
problem is intermittent and I can go days without its occurrence before,
suddenly, RF output will abruptly go to zero until I recycle the power or punch
it in and out of split mode, either of these maneuvers usually solv
The macro switch customization ability is highly attractive but, for this K3
newbie and non-engineer, a bit confusing. I've looked over the programmers'
guide but, frankly, it would be really helpful if Wayne or someone at Elecraft
would provide a step by step example in plain English for how
When I try to upload new firmware, I seem to get frequent failures during
the FPF load. This has happened both with 3.44 and 3.52. The upload fails at
different stages of the FPF load each time, seemingly with no consistency or
predictability. With repeated tries, the process finally complete
Too many responses to keep replying individually, but I want to thank everyone
who has responded to my posting about FW upload failures. I've gotten a lot of
great input and I'm looking forward to fewer failures in the future.

Another solution to the mic interface problem is the MFJ 1251 Universal
Microphone Adapter. You configure internal jumpers for the specific mic and
radio you're using. You'll have to reconfigure the device for each different
type or style of mic (Yaesu 8 pin round or modular, ICOM 8 pin round
I just received a dust cover from Rose for my K3: black with the Elecraft logo
and name and my callsign embroidered in red. The cover is well done, if lighter
in weight than some other covers I've had in the past. I requested, and Rose
provided, a nice cutout on the lower left for the mic and he
After looking at all those different pieces and sizes of hardware, I went to my
local pharmacy and bought a plastic 4-week pill organizer. I placed some
low-tack painter's tape (the blue stuff) over the lids and labeled each
compartment with its contents. The advantage of this was having the li
I recently acquired a used K2 (looks nice next to my K3), but I've noticed
something that might be of concern with it. When I enter CW mode and key down
for the first time, there's a short delay (a split second) for the power to
come up to full output, as indicated on my Alpha wattmeter. For ins
Just want to say thanks to those who responded so quickly to my question about
the ramp-up delay in output with my K2. I appreciate the info and am glad to
know it's normal.

Love the K3 rear panel mirror image. All radios should have this in their
manual. Thanks!
