Re: Dayton Update

Dang! Had been thinking of ordering a K3 at Dayton. Now I will have to
wait until the ??S is available. Sure hope it ships before the ARRL
Bicentennial QSO Party.

I think it's a scanning rig. At first, I thought just a receiver, but
"transceiver" is clearly emblazoned on the front panel. The control
buttons suggest something that will scan frequencies. No clues, of
course, from the displayed digits, that are "least significant digits".

We will know for sure very soon. :)

The button in the foto is the same as on the existing K3.

Re: Dayton Update

In reply to this post by Allan Zadiraka

I wouldn't worry about your K3. Do you know anyone who has thrown away
their Heathkit SB220/221? K2's are still supported. My K3 #1239 most likely
winds up in my will. Elecraft's remarkable proven record of retrofit,
including the remarkable "S" synthesizer changeout, will not go away.

But if you just must have a new front panel, just advertise your "old" K3
at reduced price and make the day for some budget constrained ham who will
get a budget price for a rig he's been drooling over for years.

He'll just go through it to make sure all mods and upgrades are in, and
enjoy his entry into the world of max performance radio at your expense :>}

Re: Dayton Update

The display implies it has a built-in USB interface.

Perhaps this would support the digital modes without requiring an external soundcard-type analog interface.

Rig control would also be possible with it.

Is it a new radio, or an updated module for the K3, or both? We'll find out tomorrow.

Re: Dayton Update

The "USB" in the display simply indicates the radio in the photo was set
for Upper Side Band .. (;-)

Also,

Didn't Elecraft show off those two SS amps (precursors to the KPA500) at
Dayton and they

never did haven't yet become products.

I wasn't at Dayton for that amp display a number of years ago but there has
been a lot of talk

about it here on this news reflector over the recent years.

In what way? The USB on the display appears to be
the mode of operation.

Sport. It's the Sport model with a few more hp and better cornering.

Huh? Guys, you are reading too much into things which are not there. ;-)
The USB on the display is USB modulation = SSB chosen, not more, not
less. Better compare to your K3's/KX3's ...

Boy, what a little teasing can do to this mailing list. ;-)

It looks like a weatherproof K3. More ruggedized.
