Don't freak out. The radio arrived with a factory setting. Just follow the manual to "install" the options. Filters, 100W Amp, etc. Run the TX and RX gain cals.

I don't think you are in as much trouble as you believe. I have done the reset and then sometimes you have to go in and tell it that the 100w power module is installed. Mel

You did save your configuration files, right? 73, Scott K9MA -- Scott K9MAk9ma@...

Thanks Rich, i just made my first Q with the K3s internal modem. The back panel Aux jacks had no cables in them. i did get the computer to show CODEC audio input/output. But the Settings are set for

I have a K3 with most all of the upgrades. Factory reset was initiated by a friend and now nothing works. 100 watts is now 12 and other things no go... Help. This all happened because we couldn't

Is there something plugged into the Line In jack on the back of the K3S? I believe that will disable the internal codec in the radio. Also, for CAT control via the USB connection, you need to set

i am having trouble getting my K3s on FT8. i have an old Dell Optiplex 980, Windows 7, with probably some missing drivers. i don't get and CODEC labels when i go to the Device Manager and look at the

Hi Andy, If you strike out, let me know. I may be able to scare up a spare KAT3A here at home. Wayne N6KR

I purchased a K3/0 mini several years ago and have been pleased with its performance. My initial thought was the K3/0 mini would be perfect for travel, but I’m really not happy with having to

Or if you remote op while traveling, it’s convenient to keep in touch with your home repeater/s. Done that too. Rick NK7I Smell Czech corruptions are inevitable

If you only want an FM box for 2M, then yes, buy a separate radio. However, if you need SSB/CW for DX and contests, then the internal unit is the only way to go. 73, Charlie k3ICH

The only internal transverter I know of for the K3 is for 144 MHz. I have one in mine and it works fine. I wish there WAS one for 220. I still use my antique µWave Modules 220/28 for that

I agree with that advice and yet started that way and went the other direction. My K3S usually lives in a rack enclosure. I even machined a custom front panel and got the radio and P3 side by side

FYI, it doesn’t include the bypass relay we added to the KAT3A. Wayne ---- elecraft.com

About 3 or 4 years ago I asked an Elecraft employee about adding their internal 2 meter addition to my K3 and he talked me out of it. He said I'd be better off with a 2 meter mobile rig or even a

I have and use the internal 2 meter transverter in the K3S, but didn't know they made any others. I use it occasionally for 2 meter FM, more for SSB, and also to drive external transverters for 23cm

Yes, I have the 144-146 MHz version. Works fine, but could do with more output Watts. Adequate power output for driving an amplifier. 73, Alan. G4GNX

I wouldn't put anything made by MFJ inside my K3. 73, Chris NU1O

Has anyone used any for the k3 internal transverters ? especially the 220MHZ Mel NE9A
