[Elecraft] KX1 with 30/80 option - band cycling now limited to 7/10/14
I have had this KX1 for a while. This fault was noted (maybe arose) during a recent garden op. session. Bands 7/10/20 are all operational selectable as normal, but 3.5 is skipped completely. I acquired this little gem ready built fully working, so am a bit wary of taking it apart. Before I do, I am wondering if there are any stock faults to look out for ? 73 George G4TPV This e-mail and any attachment may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

[Elecraft] KPA500 ventilation clearance
I appreciated the opportunity to see the KPA500 at Visalia last weekend but forgot to ask about the clearance required for ventilation. I have a shelf above my K3 (and soon P3) that is used to support monitors, etc. It has 7 of space under it, so I'm wondering if that's adequate to properly ventilate the KPA500.

George, Check the menu - Scroll to either the b30 or b80 (you will only see one or the other), if it is b30 tap the rightmost button to change to b30. Then HOLD the Edit button. If the parameter is off, turn the VFO knob to On and tap the MENU button twice to exit. You should now have all 4 bands. That information is in the KXB3080 manual. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/19/2011 2:03 AM, JONES, George wrote: I have had this KX1 for a while.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Manual Updates
Gentlemen it would seem there are two issues here. Hard copy and soft copy. Let me address soft copy first. The software industry has a similar problem where it deals with dynamic code and its documentation. Bug lists are maintained but not generally published. Instead new code and documentation is released weekly. The user can download the latest code and documentation 24/7. There is no need to chase a problem through the bug lists (errata) because the docs are never more than a week old. Also, it is much easier to use the computer search function on a PDF than scanning a paper copy of an obsolescent doc. If hard copy is needed the end user can print it off the PDF. Question: Is there any reason why corrected docs can't be immediately made available for download instead of publishing errata lists? As far as hard copy manuals to be supplied with purchased hardware goes there are on demand printing services where an e-message notifies the printer of the document type and the customer's snail mail address upon sale. The printer automatically downloads the latest docs and prints a one off copy and addresses the snail mail envelope, prints the postage, and sends the bound document off by snail mail at USPS library book rate. Usually the manual will arrive before the hardware. I suspect this type of service is too expensive for this type manufacturing but it does have the savings of not needing to maintain a manual stock at the factory. One man's opinion. de Fred AE6QL -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of David Pratt Sent: Sunday, April 17, 2011 8:39 AM To: Bill Henderson Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] P3 Manual Updates Bill - If Elecraft had printed off 1000 copies of the manual, it would have been a waste of paper and the rain forest for the manuals to have been pulped and new ones printed when a couple of sheets of updates could be produced instead.

[Elecraft] K3 - Value on the used market?
Hi folks, After many years of owning my K3, I'm considering selling it. What is their value on the used market? Mine is one of the early factory-built units (SN 711) with zero HW mods. Has a 1 KHz and 400 HZ 8-pole CW filters and the KPA-100 power amp. It is in mint condition, having spent the vast majority of it's life powered off and stored under a cover. I think new cost for my rig is $2400 or $2500. Are these rigs fetching 90% of new cost? 80%? 70%? - Keith - N1AS K3 SN 711 __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

[Elecraft] Engraved Brass Plates for Attachment to K3
Recently, as I was surfing the net, I saw that someone in the amateur radio community engraves small brass plates to be attached to newly built K3 kits.

My K3 kit with P3 Panadapter is on its way to papa, and I would surely love to put my “Mark” of proud ownership on it with a shiny brass plate of authenticity.

[Elecraft] The Good Kind of IMD for CW buffs
For CW enthusiasts interested in an unusual contact, K6KPH, the amateur station of the Maritime Radio Historical Society, will be on the air for this year's International Marconi Day on Saturday 30 April. K6KPH will use the transmitters of ex-Marconi, ex-RCA coast station KPH at the 1913 Marconi site in Bolinas, California. Operators will be at the 1929 ex-RCA receive site at Point Reyes, California. Several volunteer operators, will be manning the K6KPH operating positions. Among these will be ace operator Rick Wahl, ex-NMC, ex-KPH. Hours of operation: 1700 - 2359GMT Frequencies: 3550.0 7050.0 14050.0 21050.0 Transmitters will be Henry commercial HF5000D units except for 7050.0 which will be using a 1950s vintage RCA transmitter. All transmitters will be throttled back to 1.5kW. Visitors are welcome. The receive site is located at 17400 Sir Francis Drake Blvd., Inverness, California (the station is actually well past Inverness but that's the town name that works with most on-line mapping programs). Coast station KSM will also be on the air with the usual press and weather service on all Morse and RTTY frequencies.

As a kid, I often visited a station in S. California, in Hawthorne, I think. Long time ago. I don't remember the call sign. Maybe KFS.

Re: [Elecraft] The Good Kind of IMD for CW buffs
KFS was in the SF Bay area too. I used to bump into reps from KFS coming aboard ships in the S.F. bay promoting their station. Here's a link to a story about the shut-down of the Globe Wireless stations including KFS: http://jproc.ca/radiostor/kph.html I don't know about station WPD.

[Elecraft] OT: The Good Kind of IMD for CW buffs
FCC site says the WPD license expired in 1996. Would have expected it to been gone long ago. Google Earth shows an asphalt lot at 1330 McKay St where it was. Had two self- supporting towers and a ship's console for a station. 73!

[Elecraft] P3
For experienced users, I am interested in learning the stability of the P3. I can visualize a 10 hz move. Mine moves appx 10-25 hz from cold startup. It is currently tied to the K3. At first I thought it was the K3, but it does the same thing with an nist source. Would like to center a CW carrier on the center line in the 2khz BW position. This position is useful on CW and narrow SSB. Any thoughts?

[Elecraft] Trying to get LP-100 PLOT to make K3 output carrier
Anyone done this. I did it a long time ago with an ICOM but have never gotten the K3 to key. It changes the frequency and mode, etc so I know the connection is good but I've tried DTR RTS and RTS DTR on the PTT-KEY option but to no avail. There is only a K2 method of interfacing between rig and software so that may not be the best for the K3. I have also tried using the Kenwood interfacing to the rig. It appears to key the K3, the red light comes on, but does not KEY the rig to get output power. I can at that point during the 1 second intervals, key the rig manually and get a data point for each and a plot for the band. Just can't get it to work all automatically.
