Shouldn't have to. The subject matter is not relevant.

New K3 Syn

Whew! Glad that topic (Net Neutrality) is done with. Now, may I ask if
anyone has successfully installed the new synthesizer? From a purely
subjective point of view (ears only) - does it seem to provide an
improvement? I'm going to do the upgrade no matter what, just to keep
my K3 on the leading edge. But really curious how well it appears to
work and whether the improvements are only viewable on instruments or
are notable to ones ears.

Urban legend. "I wuz there." It wasn't UPS - the key player in all
that was a "revolving door" former FCC Bureau chief who was a principal
in a now-defunct manufacturer trying to deploy equipment using their
unstable modulation scheme (ACSB == Amplitude-Compandered-Sideband), a
scheme that the major land-mobile equipment manufacturers rejected as
too unstable for deployment. UPS was only the patsy waiting in the
wings patiently for workable equipment, and finally gave up and went
with a Motorola system in the then-newly-available 800 MHz band.

The amateur community didn't have "clean hands" because we failed to use
that part of the spectrum to any great extent, probably because of a
lack of reasonably-priced equipment at the time. Let that be a lesson
for us in the future.

Re: New K3 Syn

In reply to this post by Elecraft mailing list

Doug -

From all the "on topic" traffic here during the last week, it would appear
that quite a few folks have installed the synth boards. I put one in my K3
and a pair in the K3 of a friend. I knew I wanted to do it the moment I
heard about it. My "impression" is that the band seems a bit "quieter",
but "sometimes" my QTH is very quiet to start with. We have not
experienced K1N type pileups since I installed mine, but I don't expect to
be "aware" of the benefit, since I cannot switch back to the old board...
but I do expect to
from it most of the time I am on the air, and anytime the band is really
crowded.

The friend in whose K3 I installed a pair of them will benefit every time
he uses his K3. He is a QRQ CW operator, who is really excited to get RIT
function back while operating QRQ.

In reply to this post by Elecraft mailing list

I used to think that if I could not hear a difference, there may not be
a difference.

When band conditions are good there may not be any difference to be heard.

What happens when band conditions are not so good?

K2 and headset

In reply to this post by Elecraft mailing list

Hi,

Anyone got a working K2 with a non Heil/Elecraft headset? $165 seems a
tad pricy.

I'm thinking a PC/Gaming/Skype headset (I use a Logitech PC 860 which
has a noise cancelling mic with KX3 no problem) and keep the two 3.5mm
connectors audio stereo, mike mono (usually). Either light weight or aka
tank commander over the ear type.

Will need to make up an adapter with a set of Y leads for the K2 8 pin
Foster and the Audio socket next to it the headset will plug into the
audio directly.

I assume the mic (will need BIAS) so will need to set the jumpers and
connect the 5.6K resistor pins 1-6 and mic AF between 1 and 7 or 8
(0.1uF between them) or use a rework eliminator.

I note that there is a PTT in the 8 pin foster (as long as connected the
jumper to pin 2 so you 'could' wire a foot switch or something into the
'adapter'. Likewise pin 3 (down) pin 4 (up) if really wanted.

Re: New K3 Syn

In reply to this post by Elecraft mailing list

Doug,

Look at the numbers for 2 dB spacing - they are significantly improved.
What that means is you can operate more closely to another signal than
you could before. That is an important consideration when the bands are
crowded, such as during contests, FD operation, or DX pileups.
When the signals are spaced out more on the bands, the difference will
not be as obvious.

Look at the numbers for 2 dB spacing - they are significantly improved.
What that means is you can operate more closely to another signal than
you could before. That is an important consideration when the bands are
crowded, such as during contests, FD operation, or DX pileups.
When the signals are spaced out more on the bands, the difference will
not be as obvious.

Re: New K3 Syn

In reply to this post by Elecraft mailing list

I have two in thanks to the sub Rx. I think the only real way to
answer that would be to have two identical K3's with an AB switch to
listen in different conditions. I can't imagine how well most of us
would appreciate that same difference if it was expressed as
numerical values from lab tests.

I can say I feel I am hearing better under difficult conditions after
putting them in. For me, when I now hear a station I can barely copy,
I'm guessing this was helped by the new synths.

FWIW...

Hey, we had the Drake UV-3.

[Elecraft_K3] Auto Power Off

In reply to this post by w0mu

Is there a Auto Power Off setting in the K3?
I cannot find this in the manual so it's probably not available but thought
I would ask the brain trust.
Thanks,
Jack

Re: [Elecraft_K3] Auto Power Off

Jack,

There is none currently, but it has been requested on this reflector
recently for use in remote station operation.
There is a power off command - see the K3 and KX3 Programmer's Reference.
