Nice thank you. Chris

The KX3 with no preamp has less total gain than the K3 with no preamp. For instance, during the daytime on 160 meters (winter contests), the KX3 needs preamp set to +10 dB, while the K3 does not need

I've found the cables with the BNC's preinstalled well done. UHF connectors are more common and easier to install on cable.

BNC is common with QRP. If you added the KPA100/KAT100 to your K2, you'd have UHF connectors! Easiest for me has been to use PL259 cables and add adapter to BNC on the end. But

Is BNC more common than the UHF (which I'm assuming is the PL-259 stuff)? All my other Elecraft gear has UHF and this K2 is the first I've seen with BNC. Is there an advantage to buying cables w/ BNC

Dear Grant, The reason for this is that “no ham wants to pay more” to get a betterfacility. Not even 1 penny!! When I used to work at Madison Electronics inHouston(God Bless the Busick Family)

The new synthesizer has 10 to 15 dB less phase noise. This means much less noise modulation/interference from strong off frequency signals. The dynamic range (which was already outstanding) is

Hi Dave, Quote: I just state all that to say that there is definitely more to daily operation than the Sherwood rating alone. Of course this is true. Lab measurements can never approximate

Sorry I have been away from this post for sometime. I was reading that you can upgrade your k3 with a new synth board. What would be the advantages of doing this? Chris W7CTH

You can buy RG8X with the connectors on it from the various cable guys and also an adapter from BNC to UHF. I use all BNC in the shack and adapters where required.

The Hara is about the same as last year.. VERY wet floors in the bathrooms.. part of which is a case of "bad aim" - and the rest humidity finding nice tile surfaces to condense on. but with it running

Unfortunately, no resolution has been found to our K3 issue down under, a lot of promises made, no fulfilment of the promises. I do not give Elecraft permission to reprint any more of my emails

Does the External PR 6-10 preamp come with the cable to connect between the preamp and the 12 volt connection on the back of the K3 and a connector to connect to pin 11 to the ACC line so the preamp

Hi - I'm about to finish a K2 and have never worked with BNC connectors before. Can I get a few vendor recommendations as well as how to best run something like that? I'd need 50ft. at the most

Interesting.... But that rating puts it high based on narrow spaced 3rd order IMD. T hat may be important in some situations. But it also ranks my lowly Flex-1500 higher that an IC-7700 or IC-7800. I

I might see about the speaker amp upgrade with the DSP board changeout, depending on the cost, however I use headphones most of the time and headphone amp is not involved, just speaker amp. Speaker
