Will there be any problem using the Heil HC4 or HC5 elements with the K3?
Elecraft K3 FAQAbsolutely not. We added a ton of Mic gain that can be dialed in form the front panel. ALL the Heil mics will work well. We also added 8 bands of RX and TX EQ to the K3. A user can tailor any mic's response to mimic their mic of choice (HC4/5 etc.) Yes to all. The MH2 is identical to our old one, except much better internal mic element mounting mechanics.
Related QuestionsWill it be possible to receive/transmit MFSK on the K3 without using an external PC?
Elecraft K3 FAQYes, as well as AFSK. The K3 is a great FSK radio. There are options for numbers-letters shift, inverting tones, adjustable pitch for mark and space and the frequency is based on the Mark tone instead of the suppressed carrier. In addition to computer keying the FSK via pin-1 of the ACCY connector, you can also operate true FSK without the aide of a computer using your CW paddles. The K3 transmits AM in fully modulated double sideband.
Related QuestionsCan two K3s be synchronized instead of using one K3 with the subreceiver option?
Elecraft K3 FAQTo synch two K3s together (or control two of them simultaneously in any way) will require a computer with two RS232 or USB ports, one per K3. I believe some ham control software already supports this. Over coming months we'll be adding many remote-control commands to the K3 to facilitate very sophisticated control applications. Momentary (at least 0.5 second). Or you can leave it on permanently, at least until you want to turn the rig off.
Related QuestionsCan the subreceiver provide unbroken audio using any antenna input while the K3 is transmitting?
Elecraft K3 FAQThis is "full duplex" operation, which is very difficult to do inside a single cabinet. However, it may be possible if you're using the transverter I/O (0 dBm TX power). We'll be testing this case and will post full specs later.
Related QuestionsHow can we see a demo of the K3?
Elecraft K3 FAQThe K3 will be shown at Dayton and other Amateur conventions as the summer wears on. After production units ship, we suspect many of our customers will be happy to demonstrate their new radio to local hams. When appropriate, we'll try and assist in arranging demos early on. The K3 was designed entirely by our West-Coast U.S. design team. This includes the packaging (front panel, chassis, knobs, switches, and LCD), as well as all circuitry, PC boards, and firmware.

Related QuestionsWhat is the microphone pin-out on the K3?
Elecraft K3 FAQThe K3 8-pin microphone connector is wired the same as the K2 using the Kenwood pin-out. Plus we added a lot more mic pre-amp gain (adjustable) in the K3. There's also a 1/8-inch mono mic connector on the rear panel. This helps with keeping the clutter down during the heat of a contest. The mic source is set from a menu option. Diagram
Related QuestionsWhat computer connections does the K3 have?
Elecraft K3 FAQThe K3 has the features of most high-end "sound card interfaces" built in. Transformer-coupled stereo line out is included. This enables you to have the main receiver and the subreceiver feed into your computer for various data modes. Transformer-coupled line input is provided, for various digital modes or other external audio sources for transmit. The RS232 serial interface supports RTS and DTR inputs. These can be configured by use of a set up menu so either signal can be PTT, KEY or both.
Related QuestionsCan the K3 be turned on and off remotely?
Elecraft K3 FAQThe accessory jack has a contact closure input for remote on/off, and the internal alarm clock can wake the radio up as well. We're looking into some sort of "wake on serial port activity" but that's not certain at this time.
Related QuestionsIs a PC required for the K3?
Elecraft K3 FAQIf you purchase a K3, you will definitely need to have a PC (or possibly other types of computers--we're working on that) in order to obtain firmware upgrades. The firmware is upgraded via a connection from the radio to your computer, not by installing a new IC, as with our other transceivers. This is important for two reasons: Option modules that you install "after" taking delivery of the K3 may require a firmware upgrade.
Related QuestionsIs the K3 an all-in-one SO2R radio?
Elecraft K3 FAQHowever, it does have tremendous flexibility with the full-performance subreceiver; the ability to transmit on the main or sub frequency; the ability to use in-line filters to the main receiver via the Rx In and Rx Out connectors, and so forth. For many people, this is essentially SO2R operation.

How effective is the noise blanker on the K3?
Elecraft K3 FAQThe noise blanker has been totally redesigned and is being tested on a wide variety of noise sources. We studied several different design approaches before starting the KNB3, including the Drake circuit. It is also supplemented by DSP noise blanking, which will work in some situations that would defy IF blanking. The two in combination (not to mention DSP random noise reduction) will really shine.
Related QuestionsWhat are the K3's binaural effects?
Elecraft K3 FAQThe K3 AFX (audio effects) creates the illusion of added space, similar to stereo, and has user adjustable settings. The binaural mode is similar to binaural I-Q (please see March 99 QST). We also monitor the SWR bridge in receive mode (forward/reflected power). If a signal large enough to cause front-end damage appears in the main T-R path (a "reverse transmit" condition), we quickly open the PIN diode path to the receiver, typically in less than 1 ms.
