I have one working very well on a KX3 and HR-50. Have a friend who wants to try one on a K3 but hasn't gotten around to it yet. PJH, N7PXY

Re: Genovation Keypa
ROBERT NELSON
I set F1-F4 to send memory 1-4 using a regular keyboard connected to the P3. I programmed a Genovation CP24 USB HID programmable keypad to send F1-F4. Connected it to the P3. Never got it to work. Pressed a key and nothing happens. One of those projects I've been meaning to get back to.
Anybody have any success? 73, Bob K2QPN

Ops! I mistakenly called this an MTU packet size test. MTU size
includes overhead above the data,

Re: [Elecraft_K3] Re: Verizon FIOS not finding www.elecraft.com
John Spigel <jms@...>
This could turn into an interesting discussion on how web servers,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
clients and routers negotiate packet sizes. I'm no IT guru, but in my readings, a maximum packet size (MTU) is set in the clients router/pc and the browser communicates this to the web server so a maximum packet size is sent. If the communication fails between client and server a default larger size may be sent by the web server and rejected as too large by the client. The problem could be on either end and I'm guessing in this case the problem rests with Verizon, but would try adjusting my MTU locally. From my reading on the Cisco site, 1492 bytes seems to be the magic number. Always something new to learn. 73, John W1AN

Re: [Elecraft_K3] K3 Sudden S9+45 Signal
Harm: I had a similar problem with my K3 about 3 years ago. I sent it back to Elecraft for repair. The condition was intermittent. They had it on the bench for about a week before it exhibited the problem. The S meter would go almost full scale and the RX would defense. Turned out to be a 5 V regulator chip that was causing the problem. They replaced the chip and it’s been 100% ever since. I’m sure that they have this problem noted in their records and what the fix is. Send service an e-mail ( or call ) and describe the problem. I bet they will have a fix for you. Good luck, Bob Hughes W7SNR Cave Creek, AZ I just had the noise level jump to S9+45 on my K3 SN # 7274. I removed the the antenna cables and reinstalled all the firmware and there is no change in the signal level. Does anyone know the cause and/or the solution to this? Harm VE4HAZ
