I don't have a 1K-FA but I do have the 2K-FA interfaced with the K3 and it is great ..absolutely seamless ... One thought ..though it sounds like you already ordered it ...you might consider the

You want a sound card that is NOT part of the stock computer so you can hear the OS sounds without having them go to the rig (oops, just transmitted wake up music). Let the OS sounds go out the

Are there any K3 users that have the Expert 1K-FA amp? I placed an order for the Expert amp and have some questions about interfacing it with my K3. Fred NG3J

Hi, The AutoNotch on the K3 is too effective! It’s learning rate is too rapid, and that causes it to lock on and off of rapidly varying voice peaks during SSB phone reception. The effect sounds much

Sorry. I have agree that the two ATUs may indeed tune the same antenna differently if using different length coax. Especially if it is only on one frequency. ...nr4c. bill

Do you have a common mode choke of adequate impedance at the antenna feed point? See K9YC website for details. 73 Jim ab3cv

Thanks for the replies. There is still no 'solution' - - as yet - - to this issue with the KAT500 not being able to tune lower than 2.0-1 SWR on 17M with this 40m dipole, whereas the K3's KAT3

They should tune the same, which to me should be for sure are not always the same... Rest the memory in the KXAT500, if you not and get a baseline. If you still have a problem then a coil is mostly

Is the length of coax between the antenna and the tuner the same in both cases? If the K3 is connected to the antenna via an extra length of cable (such as the jumper between the K3 and the KAT500),

No problems for me, but it is very antenna dependent. Phil W7OX On 3/20/15 2:32 PM, w2or@... [Elecraft_K3] wrote:

Where are you making your measurements? It should be at the tuner in use only, or your readings will vary. Rick, WA6NHC iPad = small keypad = typos = sorry ;-)

Wondering if anyone has noticed where the KAT500 tuner will not match as well as expected on a particular band, whereas with the same antenna, the KAT3 tuner in the K3 will match that same antenna

No, this is how virtually all receivers work, because the RF gain control varies the AGC buss voltage. You are confusing people because you keep saying you are turning "up" RF gain when you are

The meter reads AGC voltage. RF Gain reduction (not increase) is performed by increasing AGC as the gain knob is turned counter clockwise. The meter reading doesn't mean much unless the RF gain is

I will be selling my internal K144XV when I upgrade to the new synth's. Turns out there is no SSB or CW activity out where I am so it is not being used at all. I don't want to take the K3 apart twice.

Bob - the XV144 is the outboard 2m transverter suitable for the K2, K3 or other transceivers. The internal one for the K3 is the K144XV. Which one is it that you have for disposal? 73 de David
