I am looking for a K3/10 or minimally configured K3/100 to use as a second
radio for SO2R. If you want to upgrade to the new K3S I may be in the market for your existing K3. Please contact me off list.

Gents
I am at my "shack" machine now. I decided that while I still had the antennae disconnected, I would scan the 6M band for birdies. Bandwidth set at the usual CW mode, 400 Hz, tuning from the bottom of the band upwards. Preamp is OFF unless otherwise indicated. _CW - 400kc filter_ 50.195.25 <S1 - No reading on S meter preamp Off. S1 just flickering with External Preamp(PR6) ON 50.197.80 ditto Nothing else heard up to at least 50.300 _Now opening up the bandwidth to 1 Kc (1.8kc filter engaged)..._ 50.114.9 S1 50.152.14 VERY weak 50.195.89 < S1 but stronger than previous one 50.198.12 VERY Weak 50.240.58 VERY VERY Weak... even with preamp ON 50.278.22 VERY weak Stopped at 50.300 _Opening bandwidth up to 2.8 kc__ (I have the 8 pole 2.8kc filter)_ 50.050.56 Weak... S1 just flickering 50.115.35 S2. S3-4 with preamp ON 50.152.6 VERY weak 50.196.44 VERY weak 50.198.33 VERY weak 50.240.60 VERY VERY weak... even with preamp ON. 50.278.76 Weak... S1 just flickering Stopped at 50.300 The strongest birdie I am experiencing here is with CW mode, 2.8kc filter and preamp off. I reconnected the 6M beam and the strength of the birdies is unchanged. That "strong" birdie is at 50.115.35 or so, S2 with no preamp,and S3-4 with external preamp ON. When I installed the new KSYN3A boards, I took no special precautions on dressing the TMP cables other than trying to approximate the routing shown in the instructions. I reconnected my beam and spot checked a few data points and the birdies are still present and the same relative strengths. The only one that might cause me some distress is the one at abt 50.115, and I can remove that with the firmware. 73, Ken K3iU ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On 6/24/2015 6:24 AM, [hidden email] wrote: > I am looking for a K3/10 or minimally configured K3/100 to use as a second > radio for SO2R. > > If you want to upgrade to the new K3S I may be in the market for your > existing K3. > > > > Please contact me off list. > > > > Dave N1IX > > [hidden email] > > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[hidden email] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > Message delivered to [hidden email] > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |
