Welcome to the ELECRAFT K3 Wiki at ZeroBeat.NET

Welcome to the K3 Wiki at ZeroBeat.net

The goal of the K3 Wiki is to provide a reference for the new high performance transceiver from Elecraft, the "K3". As the transceiver firmware is a work in progress, we'll attempt to document the current status of all things K3 and provide some idea of what is intended for the immediate future.

This should provide one stop shopping for K3 information at many levels, reducing the need to post the same questions over and over on the Elecraft reflector, which is focused primarily on answering questions about kit construction or new ideas and suggestions.

Also feel free to make changes to any existing pages with respect to accuracy in content, spelling, or grammar. Just click on the "discussion" tab located to the right of the K3 photo and provide the changes that are desired. The sysops will come around periodically and update the pages with the discussion text. Include your email address if you are available to be contacted about any change you submit. All submitted material is subject to review of the sysops. Your excellent sysops are Thomas LaCosta - k3hrn at zerobeat.net, and Don Rasmussen - wb8yqj at yahoo.com.

K3 Help and Service

Elecraft has created k3support(at)elecraft.com as a general K3 support request address. Replace the '(at)' with '@' in the address. This should be used for any support request emails to get new K3's up and running or to report firmware issues. It goes to the main team of people who are involved in tackling K3 issues.
