Dear Joe
With respect, it seems to me that the secret sauce in the K3 is largely
in the FIRMWARE, which is why I carefully avoided
even mentioning it, let alone asking for descriptive material on it.
[ I agree that Elecraft would be nuts to publish
the firmware in human-readable form, and I
Each new version of the firmware (including beta versions) comes with a
description of the changes made. In fact the document included describes each
change that the update includes dating back to MCU 1.65 and DSP 1.52, 1-28-08.
You don't have to ask for it. The file name is hfwnotes.rtf and
Perhaps the small group seeking insights into the design of the K3 could
show us all where this information has been supplied by Y,K Y etc?
I am sure it is not high on Elecraft's list of 'things to do' and so it may
be quite a while before the information you seek is released.

Dear Wayne,
From my point of view I like to have a written (Paper or pdf) manual.
I see your effort in updating such a manual
What happened to the K3 wiki? Wouldn't that be a good place for users to
develop a handbook?

No, it wouldn't. A wiki wouldn't be organized any better than the
current K3 manual. The K3 manual suffers less from not having enough
important information than it does from being structured like it was
written by an engineer who felt he had more important things to do.

The K3 Wiki was pulled by Thom LaCosta due to lack of use. Besides, it
would be more disjointed than the manual!!

While we're on the topic, I would really like to have a text describing
the design of the K3,
an aid in understanding what the components do, the design choices and
why they were made, WHY modules were designed the way that they were,
and HOW they work at the component or group of components
One of the things that strikes me reading through the manual is how
little advice there is in it about how to use the K3, as opposed to
documenting its features. I'm sure that the defaults probably represent
their best judgment in many cases, and that the guys probably despaired

Hi Pete,
Your thoughts regarding usage and perhaps techniques may have some merit. A
web page or perhaps PDF document may be appropriate for distribution. With
modest resources, either might be created.
Have you considered offering to be a clearing house for such information
regarding 'how's'
Note that we already have an extensive FAQ page for the K3:
http://www.elecraft.com/K3/K3FAQ.htm
There are many operating tips on this page, categorized by mode, etc.
NR is one of the areas covered.
Would this be a good place to add more extensive operating advice?
This page can be
A FAQ or youtube video on operating split would be most helpful for us newbies.
