Hi, all, I'm trying to get the whole signal for WTWW 5085 (listen only.) I have a 13 kHz filter in now, but the K3 limits AM bandwidth to 5 kHz, and WTWW's signal is at least 2 kHz wider than that. Is

I agree with Bob, K4TAX regarding repair attempts, especially if the root cause(s) of failure are not fully understood. I had the same question as Dan, W3DKA, regarding active charging of the battery

I find it strange that the failed diode is purportedly rated at 1.5Kw. I never knew diodes were rated that way. Also, I agree with Dan, W3DKA, regarding charging the battery. In other words, was a cha

I run the same EQ on AM that I use for SSB. I find that the MIC and MIC technique one uses has more impact on the transmitted sound and thus any EQ that might be needed. My setting are as follows: 50

So Mike provided some detailed troubleshooting for you to pursue while waiting for Elecraft. But you asked about what caused the damage. Question - How do you charge/maintain your battery? Dan W3dka

I realize this is a huge stretch on here but anyone have experience setting up transmit EQ for 6-8kc AM. Do you even want more than 6kc wide. Also getting forward modulation and alc issues. I suppose

Bob & others: I plan on sending it to Elecraft, but they will not send me a RA at this time since they are really backed up for repairs, so I am trying to do some of the trouble shooting and perhaps s

Based on the description, I would plan for the radio to take a trip to Watsonville, CA. 73 Bob, K4TAX

Thanks Dale. I'll try that.

Hi Gil, Diode D28 on the RF board is a TVS diode (Zener). The fact that it cracked and burned indicates excess current passed through it due to a voltage exceeding its Zener breakdown voltage. That BZ

I posted a later description of this problem. See that for corrected description de Gil K4JST

My K3S was damaged during FD 2022. Autopsy showed diode D28 cracked and burned. Replaced it with identical part. Rig came up on 40 CW, but though some audio noise, no signals heard. Rig will not power

I have both the 6 KHz and 13 KHz filters for the K3. $125 each plus postage. Ed, W9EJB Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPad

You can always swl in sideband. 7! Absolutely Awesome

Known as lying to the k3 to get 8kc bandwidth for AM you need the fm filter. Just lie and tell it it is the AM filter. 73 Mike R 7! Absolutely Awesome

Kept this for a backup/just in case radio when I got the K4. Love the K4 and have a KX3 as a backup just in case the K4 does have an issue and needs to go back. K3S, ser # 11231 100W option Tuner Gene

Thanks, guys. I was about to ask whether the FM filter would also work for AM transmit, but it appears from other answers here that it does. (The manual says you need an AM filter for AM transmit, but
