Re: [Elecraft] K3S Radio check? (signal generator)

I used a simple 4-pin clock-oscillator running at 7.32mhz. Runs on 5VDC. Put it in a project box with LM7805 and a 12 inch wire as antenna. Can't use that as a signal generator for circuit tracing though without seriously limiting its output. But it makes for a simple little qrp xmitter. With

[Elecraft] K3S Radio check?

I'm not sure if my antenna/coax/radio is deaf because I can hear some signals. Is there a way to quantify and verify that at least the radio is receiving as designed ? The K3S, antenna, and coax are all new. Without a signal generator or such I'm not sure how this can be accomplished. I was

40 meters is alive with signals as of 16:50 Eastern time. If you don't have that - something is wrong in your system. No signal generator needed for that test. Bill W2BLC K-Line __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Radio check?

Jerry, I had a 2 foot long alligator clip lead on the antenna input of my K3s today and was hearing cw signals all over 40 meters. K3s is a pretty hot receiver. You might try to connect up a wire 5-10 feet long to the ANT 1 input. Put the rig in TEST mode and see what you hear. Fingers crossed

Make certain that the selected antenna input is correct. Bill af4b Sent from my iPad > On Oct 11, 2015, at 6:32 PM, dw wrote: > > Jerry, > I had a 2 foot long alligator clip lead on the antenna input of my K3s > today and was hearing cw signals all over 40 meters. > > K3s
