[Elecraft] KX3 Avionics Receive

Since I'm too stupid to figure out how to reply on the list, I'll post a new message to bring the discussion up to date and hope those interested catch it. 1. As I posted in the OP, I have an experimental aircraft and therefore do not need a TSO'd radio, per FAR 91.205. This position is w

Re: [Elecraft] K3, KPA500, StepIRR, Navigator, PC cabling

Thanks to Don and David, who called me on the phone and got my head straight. I need to get an RS232 Y to make it all work. The one I have has posts on the male end that act as standoffs and won't let it connect to the K3. Don's post and David's phone coaching got the rest of the cables r

[Elecraft] KPA500 Top Lid Fit

I put a straight edge on the Z frame and felt that the cut-off part ahead of the fold was ever so slightly high. My top lid was a little raised as others have described. I dressed the cut-off part down very slightly and now the top lid fits quite nicely, almost perfectly. I sent an email t

[Elecraft] Only one audio channel

My K3 delivers only the left channel when listening with Heil stereo headset or an aviation stereo headset. The Heil I tried from the front and back plugs, the aviation from the front only. I have the sub receiver. I usually use the radio with the speaker and only now found out one chann

[Elecraft] Boom & Mike for K3

Sorry if this has been addressed before. I'm hoping to spend more time in my shack and I'd like some opinions or advice on a good quality boom and mike for the K3. I suppose I'd spend $300-$500 if I had to although that is on the top end. The use would be for operating on scheduled, cont
