I have been playing with the P3 now for a week and while in the band segment I generally use, it has been excellent. However, While I had the K3 and P3 on, I disconnected the antenna to reroute it and

I know that!!!! It was a little ping to see who was reading. It would be nice though, HI. BTW, both the K3 and the P3 are a work of art. Mel, K6KBE

Thanks, Since none of the other displays in the shack match, it really doesn't matter, hi. Mel, K6KBE

I have the P3 and love the display. Did I miss where to change the color of the display in the K3? It would be great to have it blue with white text like the P3. Mel, K6KBE

Thanks everyone for the vote of confidence. Looking forward to winter FUN. Mel

I am expecting my P3 tomorrow and while reading the manuals of both the K3 and the P3 I see a questionable issue on the DC interface. While I have asked K3 support the question, they have been busy. H

I friend of mine's K3 started to develop a back burst tone at the end of each transmission. I did a quick look and the manual and didn't see it as an option. Where is it? Thanks. Mel, K6KBE

Hi Bob, IMHO, I prefer the closest thing that matches your voice without any heavy lows. Check out your voice on a audio spectrum analyser and see where you are. If your are a bass, you will sound ter

Thanks Alan, That explains a lot. I will look at the schematic of the SM-230 and see what the video filter is like. Interesting problem. Mel, K6KBE From: Alan Bloom To: Elecraft_K3@... Sen

I have a question. Are the signals on the display symmetrical rise time and decay time? That is a real problem on the Kenwood station monitors with band scan. They have a fast rise time, but distorted

Hi Dwayne, First off, getting the K3 is a learning experience along with the operating pleasure of using something that you built with your own hands. The wonderful thing is that with all of the optio

I have seen a lot of discussion about getting a dummy load for testing the K3 or any other 100+ watt transmitter.... I have an easy solution that I have used over the years from parts I picked up at a

Sorry, Joe, You missed the point about making what we generate the cleanest, linear, non distorted signal we can even if we generate it in a narrow 1.8 or 2.4 KHz signal. I said nothing about ESSB or

While all of your comments are worthy of discussion, I think the topic was hams need to produce the cleanest, richest sounding signal they can. Albeit a FCC related topic, that is not what I am propos

Well, they do have a new display and innovation is a great thing, right? Mel

Glad to see this issue brought forth some good reading. However, my thread was to get hams to consider actually "looking" at their modulation bandwidth, and modulation waveform. It is amazing how a li

Hello all, I have been having a ball with my K3 for the last year. However, I am very concerned about having a correct modulated output and take pains, to monitor my generated RF signal. It seems, tha

I would be more inclined to think the 2:1 is a result of a reactance change on the input of the amplifier matching network than a pure resistive mismatch. If it were my issue, I would try and determin

I am using the K3 with the Emtron DX2sp without pushing anything on 160 to 10 and it works great also at MAX power. I like Tony don't like the TD so leave it on a lot. Fan noise is a little distractin
