Will the K3 work in FM with transverters?
Elecraft K3 FAQFM mode is presently not enabled due to parts for the unique filters required. As soon as the filters are available and the finishing touches applied in the firmware you will be able to download the update to enable this mode.
Related QuestionsWith the subreceiver in the K3, can I operate split FM with only one FM filter in the main RX?
Elecraft K3 FAQYou can operate split with just one FM filter installed (on the main RX). Just turn the subreceiver off. VFO B then controls the transmit frequency in split mode, as usual. If you want to operate split with the sub RX on, a.k.a. "dual watch" in FM mode, you'll need an FM filter on the subreceiver, too. Why does "dual watch" only apply to having the sub on? From an operational standpoint, can't I have dual watch with just the main RX? That's how the Icom 756Pro series works.
Related QuestionsIs it safe to listen to FM Radio earmuffs when you work?
Frequently Asked QuestionsOSHA has issued a letter of principal acceptance of this type of protection, on the condition that the noise level produced by the FM radio does not exceed 85 dB. Read the OSHA letter.
Related QuestionsIs there anything special about how the K3's dual VFOs work?
Elecraft K3 FAQThere are dual VFOs (A and B), controlled by separate VFO knobs. You can operate SPLIT, as usual, whether there's a subreceiver or not. The K3's VFOs can be set to different modes and even different bands. Each VFO also keeps track of its own filter presets (I and II), on a per-mode basis. A "preset" in K3-land is a combination of a crystal filter (selected automatically by the DSP controls) and the DSP settings (SHIFT/WIDTH or HI-CUT/LO-CUT, which can be used interchangeably).
Related QuestionsHow does the K3 passband tuning work?
Elecraft K3 FAQThe K3 includes passband tuning. It's designed to take maximum advantage of its large number of crystal roofing filters and IF DSP in combination. There are two sets of controls: SHIFT/width, and hi-cut/lo-cut. Tapping a single button switches between the two. An optimized DSP graphic on the LCD sits just above the knobs, and shows you at a glance whether the passband has been shifted or narrowed as a result of using these controls.
Related QuestionsK3. How can I get fetchmail to work with ssh?
The Fetchmail FAQYou may have to use a different absolute pathname, whatever the location of imapd on your mailserver is. This option tells fetchmail that instead of opening a connection on the server's port 143 and doing standard IMAP authentication, fetchmail should ssh to the server and run imapd, using the more secure ssh authentication (as well as getting ssh's end-to-end encryption). Most IMAP daemons will detect that they've been called from the command line and assume the connection is preauthenticated.

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.

Related QuestionsWhat signals will the DF work with - AM, FM, TV, SSB, Noise, CW, Pulse?
Frequently Asked QuestionsWhen the unit is used as recommended with a narrow band fm receiver, it will work with any signal that has a carrier that remains within the IF bandwidth of the receiver. This would include unmodulated carriers, narrow band fm modulated signals, and amplitude modulated signals. Television video carriers can also be used, but the system will not track broadband noise or single sideband signals. Commercial broadcast (wideband) fm signals require that the receiver bandwidth be increased to 150 KHz.
Related QuestionsQuestion: Why does the FM transmission on the X6/X8 do not work?
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for CEC mp4 players | Porta...Answer: Please make sure that the FM transmission is activated in the setup menu and earphone is plugged to the player. (The FM radio transmission is always off when the mp4 is switched on and need to be activated every time you turn on the mp4. It is always off to save power.) For best FM transmission quality and range, simply plug a earphone wire (the longer the better), i.e. earphone without the "ear piece speaker" to the earphone socket.
Related QuestionsMy AM radio reception is terrible, but FM seems to work fine, whats up?
ElectricalPoor AM radio reception is typically caused by the pre-amp not receiving power. Apparently the pre-amp is not required for good FM reception if they have fairly strong signals. The power to the pre-amp is sent through a black wire in the same sleeve as the power antenna. +12 volts should be applied to this wire whenever the radio is on. Most radios have a "Power Antenna" wire that should work for this function.

Related QuestionsHow 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.
Related QuestionsWill the K3 operate on MARS frequencies?
Elecraft K3 FAQThe K3 may be operated outside the Amateur bands, but this capability is prevented by firmware. We have not yet worked out the mechanism, but we fully intend to support such operation, along with the Alaska Emergency frequency at 5.175 MHz. General coverage receive filters can be added to the main receiver and/or the subreceiver. This is the KBP3 option. The rig automatically selects the narrow ham-band filters when you're in the ham bands, and the wider filters when you're in-between ham bands.
Related QuestionsWhat kind of switches are used on the K3?
Elecraft K3 FAQThe K3 uses full-custom, high-reliability switches selected specifically for their tactile properties and long rated lifetime (typically > 1M operations). They're fully sealed against moisture, which is important for use in high-humidity environments. Each switch incorporates a large polydome for positive tactile feedback (about .02" travel), and the contact surfaces are gold-plated. (These are not the hard-to-press, no-feedback matrix switches found on cheap calculators.
