That gentleman is mistaken unless something happened while I was not
watching, the KX3 does up to 15 watts.

If I use a large power supply and turn the KX3 on its side and shake it - I
still only get 15 watts according to my Tird meter (Trusty ole Bird).

A Mortty will do a great job of conveying the ASCII data stream to Baudot, generating the FSK data you need.
Then, take a look at N6TV?s Y-Box for an easy way to connect the data into the Aux IO connections.
The Mortty is $18, available at: http://hamprojects.info/mortty/ <http://hamprojects.info/mortty/>

Good Evening,
?? The annual Field Day hiatus has passed.? It has been cool and wet.?
But, then, it is not yet officially summer in Oregon.? For that you have
to wait until after July 4th.? However, the loggers have been very
active.? They're clearing the other side of the top of this mountain.?
Each morning they are a little closer.? Luckily they don't get noisy
until just before dawn.? The cool weather lets them work longer each day
so they will be done sooner.? Then I can sleep again.
?? The sun did have a couple tiny sunspots this week.? Broke the streak
of 30+ spotless days.? We are between solar wind streams so the
background noise should be less; at least from the space side of
things.? Summer thunderstorms are even funneling down the Columbia River
valley.? That reminds me I need to reattach my antennas.? Lightning
strikes so rarely here that I unscrew them once a year or less.
Please join us on:

I'm planning to do some camping and will bring along a KX3Helper EndFed 40-6m
antenna with 9:1 Unan, T1 ATU and SOTAbeams WSPRlite to run on 30m from a
USB battery bank.
The T1 requires 0.5W to tune but the WSPRlite output is 0.2W. Any thoughts
on options other than tuning up with another radio (like KX2 w/o ATU)?

I assume from your gear list that the 30 meter WSPRlite is the only transmitter. In that case, a resonant 30 meter antenna either a center fed dipole, a ? wave vertical with radials or an end fed ? wavelength wire with a L match should satisfy the antenna requirement.

Since I currently have no reasonable solutions for fixed station operation and am primarily KX3-portable, I have reluctantly decided to part with my K3 and P3
The K3 is fully featured and updated. The P3 has both SVGA and TXMON options installed. The K3 was back at Elecraft in October 2018 for a health check and it is operating fully to specifications. Both units are in as-new physical condition (well, there might be some dust).
The specifics of the radio, options, updates, etc. can be found here:

I am asking $4300 including shipping (UPS, CONUS) in Elecraft shipping cartons.
Please respond off-list with questions, interest, etc.

Message-ID:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Good Afternoon,
Today I noticed a "pop" on the audio of my K2 when I changed in and out 15M, so I checked the switching on all bands:
When changing from 15M to 12M or 17M it is fairly loud. Changing from 12M or 17M to 15M causes a fainter "pop". A much more attenuated "pop" happens when changing from 14M to 10M, and also from 10M back to 14m.
Also, on 15M, when changing from VFO B to VFO A I hear a loud "pop", but it does not happen going from A to B.
The fainter "pops" might have always been there, but the ones on 15M are loud enough to cause the clip light on my DSP to turn red.
I wonder if it has something to do with diodes across relays, or the relays themselves.
Any more ideas? Thanks in advance.

OK, it's the base K2, and the loudest "pop" happens when switching from VFO B to VFO A on 15M.
Sorry, I should have waited 5 minutes before sending the last email...

Thanks Bill, but I wasn't clear the options I was looking for were how to use
he T1 with the EndFed antenna I have with the WSPRlite, given that the T1
requires 0.5W and the WSPRlite outputs only 0.2W. Odd as it sounds, I'm
looking for an "amplifier" to switch in to bump 10-25 fold to 2-5W as the T1
likes 2-5W for initial tune cycle and 0.5W thereafter.
The T1 has latching relays so it seems I *could* tune with a KX2 and then
swap in the WSPRlite - so that's the backup plan.

I pulled mine out a while back to understand the fan circuit and it?s pretty obvious. Just make a diagram of the connectors so you don?t accidentally swap one.

Good Evening,
?? Conditions were poor.? QSB was deep.? But the thunderstorm noise was
not too bad.? I remember the bottom of the last cycle seemed
interminable, this one compares to it.? At least the upward path is
steeper than the backside.? Now to start seeing improvement.
?? The folks out east both reported high humidity and high
temperatures.? I don't miss summer in either the Midwest or the the
South; plus, here in the PNW, my allergies don't match the pollen.? East
of the Rockies I cry and sneeze a lot :)? I do miss January in Wisconsin
when the air is clear and brisk - snow falling out of a sunny sky.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
I recently purchased a used K3 and am building a short power cord (after the discussion of voltage drop from longer cables). I noticed that the power cable that came with my IC7000 has fuses in both leads. Since the K3 has a built in fuse it is still a good idea to put fuses in both sides of the new power cable? It will be only used in the shack, not mobile.

No, fuses have voltage drop both in their elements and contacts. Just what
you're trying to defeat and avoid.

MK II. This is the complete set of both the local and remote interface box
system that can be used to operate remote control of many different radios.
My set is supplied with all of the necessary cables to install with an
Elecraft K3 or K3s but can be used with many different radios.
This system works great to remote into your own system with no computer
required, or access the stations on Remote Ham Radio, or Remote Hams.Perfect

Hello,
Yes, all cables was connected during the first lightning bolt nearby.
Now K2/10W is ok! All work fine, luckily.
But with KPA100:
1) Metering (K2 LED paragraph) do not show anything.
2) I get 10W and 100W output, but can't adjustable power.
3) KPA100 don't talk with computer, yes computers COM port is broken too.
But I tested with another working COM and the same situation; don't work.
4) Pressing TUNE K2 show "0.1 9.9-1" (10W) and 1 1.0-1 (100W).
I replaced D16 and D17 on KPA100. Nothing changed.

Sounds like the RS-232 chip in the amp may be fried, especially if the PC com port it was connected to fried.
I?ve seen this in the public safety world. Lightning hit our phone lines coming into a PC at the site and took out every com port (multi port). Also com port on all equipment attached got zapped.
Not sure what else. I do not own the KPA100 so cannot add anything else.

Skip,
Check your soundcard cable to your Line-in jack. I had the same problem
occur several times before I discovered the problem was the cable. I
pressed on it at the line in jack while testing and the power out came
back up. Same symptoms: no output, RX signals OK, CW and SSB OK.
Replaced the cable and everything FB now.

Juha,
Whenever I had a lightning hit KPA100 to repair, I always replaced all
the active devices (including all diodes) in the KPA100.
Even if the devices are not currently failing, there is a good chance
that they have been stressed and will fail later.
If you are using a USB to serial adapter, that was likely damaged too.
73,
Don W3FPR
