[Elecraft] Elecraft utilties compiled for ARM (raspberry pi)?

I'm prepared to be judged completely insane for this, but: Elecraft guys, are there any plans to make the firemware update tools available compiled for linux/arm? I'm experimenting with a radio-control-system-inna-box using a Raspberry Pi, and it would be great to be able to update the hardware

[Elecraft] KX3 Tuning noise

Hi all, I've just had my new KX3 on air for the first time, but have been plagued by an extremely annoying noise when tuning. The noise is most obvious on 10 and 12m, but is audible down to at least 20; it sounds like a series of mushy clicks as I tune, and makes tuning quite unpleasant.

[Elecraft] KAT500 enclosure... blanks available?

The KAT500 enclosure should be just the perfect size for a project I have in mind (and of course, it would match the rest of the station. Yes, I know, pass the Kool-aid...) So, question for the Elecraft guys: are there any plans to make a 'blank' KAT500 enclosure available, similar to the EC2?

Re: [Elecraft] Use of K3 voice keyer

Hi George, Being terminally lazy, I too tired of reaching all the way over to the radio when I wanted to trigger the voice keyer! To solve the problem (as well as the more serious irritation of losing audio for a fraction of a second when I tap the PTT to cancel message playback) I've made a

Re: [Elecraft] Use of K3 voice keyer

In theory of course it can be done from any logging program that lets you send macros to the radio. All you need to do is emulate button presses, which is exactly what I do with the Arduino. I just prefer having a physical controller. -- Mike, VP8DMH On 23/Jan 08:50, Jim McDonald wrote:

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] power output

Hi Mike, Thanks for the reply. I've just done some more tests here into a dummy load. Set for 100W output, the K3's meter shows me exactly that on CW. On SSB I can get as much as two extra bars above the 100W mark. If I turn compression off this happens considerably less often, but the meter

[Elecraft] K3 loss of output power

Hi all, My K3 has recently developed a fault that causes a sudden loss of output power. I can be happily transmitting, then suddenly I hear what sounds like a relay click. The rig remains in TX mode, but the RF power meter drops down to nothing. Turning the rig off and back on again fixes the
