Re: [Elecraft] KX3. Finally bought one

It's a fun radio to operate, you'll love it. Did you get any options to go with it? I ordered a PX3 at a hamfest a few days ago, looking forward to it arriving. Jim KA2RVO On Tue, Aug 25, 2015 at 9:27 AM, Joe Moffatt j...@selectconnect.net wrote: To add to my K3, and KX1, I finally added a

[Elecraft] P3 Button Settings

Anyone have any suggestions with regard to what favorite functions to assign to the P3 buttons. I have one button assigned to RESET that is handy when I use the P3 to see my transmitted signal (like the received ones). Handy for judging your TX EQ settings. Jim - W4RKS

Re: [Elecraft] FS: K3/100, P3, KPA500, more...

Vic, mostly it depends on where the item(s) are being sent to. I’ve been selling on eBay for over 12 years, and I DO ship overseas. However, when it comes to something really expensive, I opt not to do that for certain countries. There are parts of the world that have a very, very bad

[Elecraft] SO2V K3 and N1MM+

Greetings, I'd like to hear from anyone who has successfully implemented SO2V using a K3 (with Sub RX) and N1MM+; especially for FSK RTTY. Off reflector is fine. 73 James K1SD __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http

[Elecraft] KX3: Cleaner audio with Yamaha CM500, also PTT

​There's still another Koss headset - Model KS-45 that's plug-in compatible with the Yamaha CM500. It has an electret mic. Also about $25 on Amazon. Look also at Amazon's listing for a RoverBeats Bravo. Electrically and functionally (and sound) it's interchangeable with the CM500 and - for us

[Elecraft] KX3: Cleaner audio with Yamaha CM500, also PTT

Jim, it's true audio quality is very subjective. For good communications quality, I personally judge the three headsets I mentioned to be about equal. Over the ear comfort also compares with my over the ear headphones - a sauna for the ears. :-) Brian, Yes, the electret mics do require a small

[Elecraft] Rec antenna protection

Chris Back in the olden days, a small SERIES TUNED circuit across the receiver input tuned to your 5, 12 and 13 MHz problem stations was quite effective. It presents a low impedance path to ground for the unwanted signal. Jim - W4RKS

Re: [Elecraft] Rec antenna protection

Bill, I use that AS-RXFEP device and am 100% satisfied with it. I have run 550 watts from my K-line system, through 110 feet of 600-ohm ladder line feeder to an 88 foot long doublet at 45 feet. My diversity receive antenna is a ground mounted Hustler 5BTV (with radials) that is only 25 feet

[Elecraft] I wonder how many folks have had buyer's remorse on a K3/K3S purchase?

My only remorse was deciding to buy a loaded K3 two months before the K3S came out... But, such is life. The true advantage is that Elecraft keeps their current users in mind when they design new equipment. Upgrades are indeed possible for older units. I say that as I bid my K3 farewell on its

Re: [Elecraft] K2/KX3 with KPA500, cable?

Dieter - if you go by what Fred has documented in his book, it will work superbly. I use my K3 AND KX3 with a KPA500 and KAT500 - I’ve got a two position coax switch that allows me to use whichever radio I want to drive the amp and tuner. I followed the info (and diagrams) in Fred’s book and

Re: [Elecraft] remote viewing of NaP3

Don is correct - the free Windows program LP Bridge (or LPB2) is what you want to try. I ran ONE serial-to-USB cable out of my KX3 into LPB2. I then assigned one virtual serial port to NaP3 and another to LOG4OM, a Windows based free logging program. Each application thought it had its own
