[Elecraft] Spotting DX

I've only had my K3 on the air for a couple days...trying to figure out all the bells and whistles. Here's my problem: K4M (Midway DXpedition) is transmitting on let's say, 7.004 listening up 25. So I go SPLIT, tune VFO B up to about 7.020. Now I want to spot the guy he's working and transmit

Re: [Elecraft] Spotting DX

Paul, You may have held the SUB button in a bit too long and the VFOs were 'linked' Hold the SUB button and you will see unlink briefly in the VFO B area. 73, Don W3FPR Paul wrote: I've only had my K3 on the air for a couple days...trying to figure out all the bells and whistles. Here's

Re: [Elecraft] Spotting DX

Paul, Others have suggested unlinking the VFOs and this is necessary but not really sufficient. It all depends on the dx operators. Those at K4M seem to listen on the same frequency long enough for you to find them and tailgate the previous station. On the other hand, the Glorioso

Re: [Elecraft] Spotting DX

With diversity RX on the K3 - IE VFOs synched, you can also operate split. HOLD SPLIT to enable TX on VFO B. Then HOLD REV and use VFO A to listen and tune to the split TX frequency. Release REV and diversity RX is restored. A very elegant implementation by designers who must also be actual

Yes. Isn't it wonderful. They also read this reflector and respond, sometimes within minutes, to important issues. Wouldn't it be nice if some of our elected representatives did this? 73 de W6BK On Oct 15, 2009, at 9:04 AM, wb6r...@mac.com wrote: With diversity RX on the K3 - IE VFOs

I know you can listen to two conversations on different VFO's (Frequencies at the same time when you have the Sub Receiver Installed; However with no Sub Receiver I believe this is this correct? If you don't have the sub receiver listening using a set of headphones like a Heil Pro set you

Hi Jim, In your scenario - split with simultaneous signals, yes, you must have both receivers. However, you can work split just fine with one receiver and two VFOs, but you have to hop back and forth between the VFOs, using whatever method you prefer. It is also possible to split with a
