k3 rear panel question
Locked
 
|
I have the ten watt k3 without the kxv3.
I assume the rca next to the power pole is the receive antenna. What is the order of the 3.5 mm jacks below the serial and accessory ports? Thanks for the help. ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

NO NO NO !!!! Do not plug an external rx antenna in to that jack!!!! It is a 12V DC output!!!
There is no aux rx jack if you don't have a KXV3.
The rear panel layout is on page 4 of the owners manula.

Thanks Greg. I neglected to say that I am blind, so can't use the pics in
the manual. However, Greg got the order correct. Tested with a small speaker. Thanks all. This is one of the best lists I am on. 73 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg - AB7R" <[hidden email]> To: "Gary Lee" <[hidden email]> Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2009 10:22 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] k3 rear panel question Gary, The RCA near the power pole is for a 12V of an accessory you can power from the K3. Withouth the KXV3 there is no RX only antenna. I suggest looking at the FAQ or the manul of the K3 available free online at the Elecraft website. I am not at my radio right now but from memory the 3.5mm jack from left to right are: EXT SPKR, PHONES, MIC, LINE IN, LINE OUT. But check the manual to be sure. ------------------------- 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 On Thu Feb 12 7:11 , 'Gary Lee' <[hidden email]> sent: >I have the ten watt k3 without the kxv3. > >I assume the rca next to the power pole is the receive antenna. >What is the order of the 3.5 mm jacks below the serial and accessory ports? > >Thanks for the help. >______________________________________________________________ >Elecraft mailing list >Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft >Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm >Post: [hidden email]','','','')">[hidden email] > >This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net >Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 3848 (20090212) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

Hi Gary,
That rca next to the power pole connector is a 12 volt output for powering accessories. Don't think you want to plug an antenna into that! The small jacks below the serial and accessory connectors, from left to right as you're facing the rear panel are: speaker, phones, mic, line in, and line out. 73 -- Joe KB8AP On Feb 12, 2009, at 7:11 AM, Gary Lee wrote: > I have the ten watt k3 without the kxv3. > > I assume the rca next to the power pole is the receive antenna. > What is the order of the 3.5 mm jacks below the serial and accessory > ports? > > Thanks for the help. ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

Gary,
I assume the diagrams in the manual didn't make it through the text conversion process. The RCA jack beside the power pole connector is a 12 VDC power output for supplying power to accessories. If you have the KRX3 second receiver, there may be a BNC connector above the power pole connector for a receive antenna for the second receiver. If you have neither the KRX3 or the KXV3, then there are no separate receive antenna inputs on your K3. The 3.5 mm jacks below the RS232 and ACC ports are, from left to right facing the back of the radio: - external speaker (stereo) - headphones (stereo or mono) - microphone input (mono) - line in (mono) - line out (stereo) Note regarding the speaker output: If you set CONFIG:SPKRS to 1, you can use a mono plug. However, if you have CONFIG:SPKRS set to 2, then unless your K3 has the recent AF Output mod fitted, plugging a mono speaker plug into the external speaker output could damage the AF amp chip. The headphone jack does not have this problem; it is safe to plug mono headphones into the headphone jack. As for the line out, if you do not have a KRX3 then only the left channel will be carry an audio signal. 73, Rich VE3KI ______________________________________________________________ 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 |
