2010-05-09 Thread Michael M. Raskin
Is anyone using ESSB? If so, can you listen to SSB using the AM filter set say to 3.5 width but transmit on the 2.7/2.8 filter? Mike __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.

[Elecraft] 2.1 kHz filter - K3

I have the 2.8 kHz filter in the main receiver and want to supplement that with either the 2.1 kHz or 1.8 kHz filter. A friend who has the 1.8 thought is was too narrow. What are you guys using? Anyone have all three? Mike, W4UM __

[Elecraft] 2M with K3 - anyone doing it?

2010-01-30 Thread Michael M. Raskin
I recently picked up a used THL 500V 2M amp. I want to drive it with my K3, which has no 2M capability. The K144KV-F internal 2M module only has 10 Watts output, which is not enough to drive the THP 500V to 500 Watts. The KV144 2M transverter has enough power to do it, but it has to be extern

[Elecraft] K3 and SignaLink USB Interface

Anyone using this combo with the ACC (15-pin) instead of the mic jack? DX Engineering, and well as TigerTronics, sell all kinds of pre-made cables but only a mic cable for the K3. I'd rather connect to the ACC, as I do with the IC-7800, where the audio signal is not dependent on the AF volume

[Elecraft] K3 160M Diversity Users

2009-07-24 Thread Michael M. Raskin
I am about to order filters for the K3 and need some final advice. I have the capability for diversity reception on 160 and 80 and am wondering what is the best filter pair to use for CW. Price really doesn't enter into the equation as a pair of matched 5-poles filters are about the same price

[Elecraft] General Coverage Receive Module

I see that the general coverage receiver module can be installed in either the main or sub-receiver. I was planning to install it on the main board as I have the widest filter (13MHz) there. But before I do, I wanted to hear some pros and cons for installing on either board. Thanks, Mike, W4U

Hi - I'm new to the list and I want to order all the filters I might need so I can install them at the same time and not have to open the rig each time. I operate mainly CW, but also SSB and RTTY. I am primarily a DXer but a contester secondarily. My main bands are the two extremes: 160 and 6.
