[Elecraft] K3S and N1MM+ on cw with no interface

I’m trying to get my K3S and N1MM+ to work on cw without an interface (which I have used in the past). I’ve tried a couple of the suggestions I’ve seen on the reflector but none of them seem to work. I’m sure someone has figured out an easy way to do this and would appreciate the info. Thank

[Elecraft] K3S and N1MM+ on cw with no interface

Thanks to all who replied. The method shown in the manual does work, as does the method John Simmons suggested. The problem was that I was trying to set the com port below the radio com port on the N1MM configure screen, like I had to do on my old interface. Once I realized that the cw and pt

[Elecraft] K3S and PC Not talking

I took a power surge the other day which wiped out my computer. I’ve replaced the computer, but it and the K3S are not talking now. I’ve made sure RS232 is configured to USB, tried a couple of different USB ports on the PC (which I know are good since they will recognize a flash drive), as wel

[Elecraft] KPA-1500 issue (power surge?)

I posted a note yesterday that I took a power surge which knocked out my PC and couldn’t connect to my K3S. Thanks to all the input for you guys, it would appear that the IO board on the K3S got fried. Still to be confirmed, but strongly suspect true. I figured I better check out the KPA-1500

[Elecraft] Muting K3 Mini speaker

[Elecraft] Local KPA1500 operation via KPA1500 remote

I’m having trouble configuring the KPA1500 remote software for local control of my KPA1500 using USB or Ethernet ( I want to locate the amp in the basement). I assume I am supposed to use the “Local Connect” tab, but when I hit the “connect” button, it says “unable to connect on Com………” and “KA

[Elecraft] K3 KPA100 not putting out in high power

My K3 has stopped working in high power. It works fine until output hits 12 watts. I hear the relay kicking in at that point to switch the K3 PA bypass relay to the KPA100 module, but power goes to 0 and swr fluctuates all over the place. The amp breaker does not appear to have been tripped.

[Elecraft] K3S Line in not working.

I Just received my K3S back from being serviced, but it doesn’t appear that the Line In is functioning. On FT8 I have the MIC+LIN set to ON, and MIC SEL to FPL.BIAS — same settings as I have been using on my back-up K3. I am using the same cabling between PC and both rigs, so there is no issue

[Elecraft] Supplemental K3 Cooling

I recently burned up the finals in my K3. I believe the problem was operating too high a power in FT8 mode for a sustained period on six meters. I’ve learned a few lessons (expensive ones too!) as a result, especially about monitoring the PA temperature. I was also advised by the service te

Keith, I had saved the configuration file before I sent the radio in for repair and I fully understand the need NOT to reload that file. However, is there a way to print out the saved file in a readable format so that I could set some of the old parameters in the new configuration? Thanks, J
