[Elecraft] Manual for pre 3000 S/N K2?

I recently bought a pre 3000 serial number K2 (S/N 2539) which is the older Rev A version. I am looking for a pdf of the K2 manual for these older units. The manual does not seem to be on the Elecraft web or ftp sites. Anyone know where I can get one? Steve N9SZ

Re: [Elecraft] K3 & K3S Options Last Time Buy Update (12/02/2022)

After just about two years from my original order, I finally received the upgraded K3 synthesis board (KSYN3AUPGD). Installation will take place this weekend and I'm hoping for the best. Steve N9SZ On Thu, Feb 2, 2023 at 9:47 AM Steve Zabarnick wrote: > It has been over 8 weeks since E

Re: [Elecraft] K3 & K3S Options Last Time Buy Update (12/02/2022)

It has been over 8 weeks since Eric announced that most of the long delayed K3 options would be available in 6 to 8 weeks, and "should ship close to these dates ranges if there are no new parts issues or surprise manufacturing delays." I have been patiently waiting for the upgraded synthesizer

[Elecraft] K3 Utility saving macros to PC

I recently upgraded my ham radio computer, which required re-installation of the K3 Utility. Previously, my macros appeared to be saved to the computer, as they would appear in "edit macros" in the "command tester". With this new install, the macros no longer show when starting the utility,

[Elecraft] KX3 receive dead

Failure of an external amplifier has killed the receive on my KX3 (transmitter and ATU seem to work fine). Does anyone know which components are most likely to fail in the KX3 receiver front end? Looking at the schematic, it appears that TR switch components D3 and Q2 are the first active devices

[Elecraft] KX3 sideband cancellation calibration

I recently noticed that I could hear the opposite sideband on my KX3. As a result I tried using my XG1 to do the sideband cancellation calibration described in the KXFL3 manual. During the calibration I could significantly reduce the sideband so that it could no longer be heard by ear. But, once I

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 keyline questions

I ended up replacing Q5, the keyline output transistor on the KX3 RF board. It had a hole in it and apparently the magic smoke had come out. Keyline is now working. This KX3 was purchased used and I had never used an amp or the keyline. Steve N9SZ On Sat, Nov 21, 2020 at 8:13 PM Steve Zabarnick

[Elecraft] KX3 keyline questions

I'm exploring using my KX3 with the QRP-Labs 50W Amplifier. In measuring the keyline output, I get zero volts to ground when in receive and about 0.5 volts in transmit. When measuring resistance across the keyline I get about 70 ohms in receive and 5K ohms in transmit. Isn't the keyline supposed

[Elecraft] KX3 CWT and decode

I don't use CW decode on my KX3 and I noticed that CWT doesn't work correctly when decode is turned off. With decode on all is fine, but with decode off the middle CWT bar is always lit. A strong off frequency signal will sometimes move the CWT bar to the left or right but it is difficult to use

[Elecraft] SWR meter with KX3 2 Meter module

Is the SWR meter supposed to work when the 2 meter module is being used in the KX3? I don't see much of a response even with no antenna connected, which should show a very high SWR. My last post mistakenly asked about the K3. Steve N9SZ

[Elecraft] W1SERKT vs KXSER cables

With the recent purchase of a KX3, I was wondering if my W1SERKT cable (W1 wattmeter serial data cable) will work in place of the KX3's KXSER cable? Both seem to be 3.5 mm TRS to DB9 serial cables. Steve N9SZ __ Elecraft mailing list
