[Elecraft] Pumping with K3

[Gary Smith]

Thanks for all the replies. I'll try to answer them all here.

I did not have the Pre off nor the attenuator. I'm still not sure how 
to get the K9AY as an RX ant preamped on the K3 and not the Inverted 
L. The K9AY needs more pre. I do have the sub. 

I tried to run the K9AY through the KXV3 as I did when I did not have 
the sub but I have the K9 running through the Aux BNC that came with 
the sub. I'll have to see if I can straighten that up after the 
contest.

I am giving the settings below a go.

I was not able to set the below options on the sub as it came up N/A 
when I tried to so I assume there is only one setting and that 
applies to main & sub.

Yes, I do live in a relatively RFI free area with the exception of to 
the south where there is the only road leading in here. (I am 
surrounded by state parks and am at the end of a salt water cove). 

My joy is in working the really faint DX so that's where I am trying 
to set this up best for.

160 is hopping!

Thanks,

Gary
