[Elecraft] K3 Setting 1.00 mw with KXV3 for XV144

2008-04-27 Thread rcstimson
Group, I don't seem to have the steps by which one sets the KXV3's output to 1.00 mw for use with XV144.. Here is what I've tried: (1) Set Band to 28 MHz. (2) Set CONFIG to TEST in KVX3, (3) Set power to 1.00 mw, (4) Hold TUNE. After a moment, the display changes from 1.00

[Elecraft] Two Qwestions

2008-04-24 Thread rcstimson
Group, Two questions: Group 1) How do I get stereo output from the stereo output jack? 2) How do I change the mode reading from "reverse data" to plain :"data" so that it stays that way if I turn the K3 off. I know how to change it, but my K3 seems to be suffering from "recent memor

[Elecraft] Listening to VFO A and VFO B

2008-02-13 Thread RCStimson
When I work DX, I like to listen to VFO B and VFO A at the same time, but at different volume levels. I want to hear the DX call me on VFO A and I like to find an open spot on VFO B where everyone is calling the DX station. Can I do that with my K3? I don't see any obvious way, other

2008-02-12 Thread RCStimson
While trying to set up my K3's low level output for use with my Elecraft 144 MHz Transverter, I have inadvertently screwed up my K3 system. Now I am getting the "ERR PL2" message. How did I do that? So, I need two things: First, how do I correct this error? That is, what are the spec

[Elecraft] MH2 vs. MD2

2008-02-02 Thread RCStimson
What is the difference between the Elecraft MH2 Hand mike and the Elecraft MD2 mile in the Stainless Steel case and Heil logo at the bottom? Are they both direct plug-in to the K3? Are they both electret elements? I seem to get a bit more punch from the hand mike MH2.

[Elecraft] Problem with 144 Transverter Oscillator - New Information

2004-06-28 Thread RCStimson
Gurus, I am in the Alignment Procedure Part I on the 144 MHz Transverter (page 59). After the unit has been on for an hour or more, the voltage reading on TP1--testing the local oscillator voltage--varies between 0.002 and 1.642 vdc. When I first turn the unit on using the K2,

Gurus, I am beginning the Alignment Procedure Part I on the 144 MHz transverter and getting a strange reading at TP1 when conducting the test on the local oscillator ( page 59). The voltage seems to be varying between 0.002 and 1.642 vdc. The oscillator seems to be going in and out
