Re: [Elecraft] Updating K3/P3 Firmware/Software after long silence...

A re-calibration is required on the transmitter for one of the firmware releases. Tom, w2yf On Oct 1, 2016 11:52 AM, "Phil Hystad" wrote: > To the K3/P3 utility experts… > > A friend of mine, owner of K3/P3, has not updated his K3/P3 firmware, nor > utility programs, in at

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] KX2 - KX3

Wayne, Your comment about VK prompted me to write... while on vacation last week I was sitting on a balcony overlooking the James River in Virginia operating a KX2 on 40m with 5 watts of power using JT65 into a magloop. After working a few stations I opened up PSK Reporter to see that VK stations

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 fw 2.61 Mic Bias / MIC BTN

Mike, Do you have a mic plugged in? If not the KX2 is in internal mic mode. Also, make sure you are not in data mode... the KX2 won't let you change some of those settings in data mode. Tom, W2YF > On Jun 23, 2016, at 9:37 PM, Michael Walker wrote: > > All > > On my

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 real life power

Sounds like the batteries are possibly suspect. A KX3 will give out 10W down to 10V according to the firmware release (v2.38), and although I haven't personally run my batteries down that low I haven't seen any behavior to indicate otherwise (in other words I'm getting 10W out, not 3 or 4W as you

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 Firmware Suggestions

Luke, I've found that if I have an audio cable plugged in and connected to a computer, the KX2 thinks there's a mic load and will let you change those settings... provided you are in SSB. If in DATA mode it will tell you N/A I seem to recall. So just change modes to SSB, change the MIC settings

[Elecraft] KXPD3 long screw...

I found a good pair of side-cutters with a quick filing and I can't tell the difference between the two screws under a magnifying glass, just stay clear of the threads so you don't damage them. (wear your safety glasses :-) ) I took the screw out of the keyer to avoid damaging it while

[Elecraft] KX3: Power Consumption at 15W?

Anyone happen to know power consumption of the KX3 when running at the relatively new 15W RF output setting? I had read a while back that it was around ~2.1A at 10W. Looking at tiny power supply options and don't want to underrate. Tom, W2YF

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] Re: Strong recommendation: MFJ 18xx-series single-band whips for KX3, etc.

John, Just like Bruce said regarding the 1899... I started at one tap position for 20M and then changed the coil tap to another for 40M. When I wrote my original note that was my 40M testing... I failed to mention in my earlier email. In this case the whip length itself isn't adjusted, just the

Re: [Elecraft] Strong recommendation: MFJ 18xx-series single-band whips for KX3, etc.

Wayne, Funny you should bring this up, I just received an MFJ-1899T today. Slapped a counterpoise on it and at 6 watts running JT9 (in New Jersey) was able to be heard (watching PSK Reporter) all the way in CA and Alberta. Just worked a station in MN. I'm not even giving the whip a fair

Re: [Elecraft] KIO3B Upgrade Kit for the K3

Don, Wasn't the KIO3B code added at firmware level 5.x? If so, not sure the K3 knows anything about the USB setting unless it is polling those settings directly from the board itself. Tom (W2YF) On Tue, Feb 9, 2016 at 7:29 AM, Don Wilhelm wrote: > Rob, > > Did you set

Re: [Elecraft] K3S and WSJT-X

Ian, Which rev level of WSJT-X are you trying to use? I seem to recall 1.5.x had some issues with Hamlib and as a result some of the PTT code was broke. If you are running 1.6.0 I think the Hamlib stuff is fixed and you can use K3/KX3 as a rig and then set PTT to CAT. If you plan on running DX
