[Elecraft] K3 Purchase and Accessories Questions

[Don Cunningham]

Mark,
The KUSB is Elecraft's USB to serial adapter.  I would try yours first to 
see if it works before buying another one.  Elecraft's uses FTDI chips now 
and works well, however.

I use the 400hz 8 pole filter for RTTY, for PSK 31 you will probably want to 
see the whole range of avaliable stations, so the SSB filter would be better 
in my mind.

The 2.7 khz filter is 5 pole, the 2.8 is 8 pole.  I chose the 2.8 8 pole as 
you do all the transmitting through it and I want a clean signal.

The cable from the K3 to the 8410, which I also use, is a simple RCA to RCA 
cable shielded (Radio Shack or others).  No need to buy an expensive 
interface.  Works quite well at whatever power level you choose!!

73 and good luck with your K3,
Don, WB5HAK
