Hi Mike,
I've always gotten compliments on my K3's audio. This is with the Elecraft
MH2 hand mic. As others have said though, you will need to tweak the TX EQ
settings for best performance, or to whatever suits your taste.

doesn't matter if you have your 500Hz
Has anyone else noticed similar? I still haven't gotten a definitive
answer, and am curious to see if others had experienced the same.
Also, I've noticed that FM always requires a bit more mic gain to achieve
the same level of ALC action as opposed to sideband. Can anyone confirm?

BTW, I've noticed that the SSB power bug is still there on K3 #2730, and
this was after reverting back to 4.14

This is to support a previous suggestion on the reflector, to allow

Just out of curiosity exactly how would you propose to do this. The IF
is limited by the filter in use and since the P3 operates off of the
IF passband, i may be dense, but I cannot for the life of me see how
this could be done... after thinking about it for a moment or two...

a dream come true.
I know there are ways of doing things remotely now with the K3, but nothing
quite as simple or streamlined as what Icom is offering.

of the renovations to the Secretariat, none of our
antennas are currently up and the club has no base of operations. Hopefully
we'll be back up and running within the next 4 to 6 months.

I don't mind this at all, but am curious if other things were impacted

I bought an Aoyue 937+ digital controlled ESD soldering station. It's
Chinese made and nowhere near as expensive as American brands, but works
well and holds temperature just fine. Many tips to choose from also.

Delete whatever firmware is in the K3 utility folder then click the button
to check for updates. The utility should then automatically download a copy
of 4.14 from the Elecraft FTP server.

How do you get back
Nate et all,
I stand corrected. Looks like K3 #2730 also has this issue. I didn't
notice at first, but then noticed it last night. Performing a TX calibration
didn't really fix it completely, although it did help.
Glad to know that the boys at Aptos are working on it.

Hi Lyle,
Nice work. Low SSB output solved on my end with this latest beta.

This release fixes a problem with low initial output in SSB Tx

like a bug in the K3's output power reading rather than a physical fold-back
on power. It also doesn't matter if the ATU is active or bypassed.

Please disregard; just had a look at the manual and max output on 6 meters
is 70-85W depending on frequency. I assume then that the radio is
automatically dropping down to a safe output power rather than cooking at
100W. Guess I should have checked the manual first! My bad!

Well, I just wasn't sure I would use it, I had such good results with
just the DUAL PB function. So I sought out the weakest signal I could
find this morning, R5ZZ, who was not copiable here, but I could hear
some Ws working him. I dialed in the APF and there he was, and
copiable. So mea
In a word, yes

I went through the CONFIG menus to see what might have changed while
in SSB. I found DUAL PB had APF on. I was unable to turn it off while

to SSB and all was normal. Full output.
I have confirmed you can only turn APF

are usually the same.
