[Elecraft] KXPD3 and single-lever paddles
Although I've been licensed since 1965 and able to put some sort of HF signal on the air during almost all of that time, my activity level was relatively low (a couple of hours a year) from 1977 through 2011 due to career and family. For the past two years, I've been semi-retired and getting my activity level up, but I'm frustrated that my CW sending without mistakes has plateaued in the low 20s whereas my receiving ability is still over 30 wpm. At first I thought I was just out of practice but, believe me, I've done a lot of off-the-air practice. I have a nice K8RA dual lever paddle that I use with my K3 and the KXPD3 for my KX3, which of course is an iambic paddle. I have the same problem sending with both and have experimented with a number of settings. The KXPD3 was initially worse, but the Elecraft mod kit was an improvement so it's now on a par with the K8RA paddle. Recently LA3ZA posted here and included a link to his excellent blog. There I found an article on single-lever paddles and their use by many high speed operators (tusen takk, Sverre). http://la3za.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-advantage-of-single-lever-paddle.html I see, too, that Begali's HST model for high speed work is single lever. This led me to think that maybe what's caused my sending to decline in the last 35 years is that I've gotten old -- more specifically, that I've gotten arthritis which is fairly pronounced in my right forefinger (it now takes a dogleg to the left and there's a nodule on the joint nearest the tip). So my ability to squeeze the paddles as fast as my CW brain is working is probably impaired over what it was back in the day. So that leads to some questions. Does this theory make sense to anyone else? Has anyone switched from iambic to single-lever because of this? Improvements? Has anyone put a non-iambic paddle on Elecraft's wish list? Does anyone besides Begali make a single-lever paddle for the KX3 (I'm tempted by its Adventure Mono model)? 73, Dennis Haarsager, N7DH Hillsboro, Virginia __ 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] QRP
Last evening I had my best CW QRP contact yet. Running 0.1 Watts (100 milli Watts) to my wire antenna (OCF) I worked Japan, JA7BXS and received a 559 signal report.

Re: [Elecraft] KXPD3 and single-lever paddles
Dennis, I have a number of keys, both single lever and iambic and I most certainly understand the arthritis comments. If I have been in the shop or out in the yard and working with my hands, I am definitely QLF for a time afterwards. I don't know that it really makes a difference whether I am on a single lever or iambic key but I have found that either wider spacing between the thumb and finger pieces or a wide single lever seems to be better suited to my stiff hands. Try something as simple as a stick on footpad or rubber bumper to get wider spacing and see how it feels. From there, you can fabricate a permanent solution if it is to your liking. I intentionally omitted naming what I use, choosing to focus on the width of the fingerpiece(s). 73, Jim W5QM __ 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] Antenna Suggestions
Vic, have you considered a Spider beam ? They are light and small in diameter and volume. It might fit within the constraints or your apartment/shack roof top, and wouldn't have to be raised very high. DXpedition stations seem to favor them.

Re: [Elecraft] Antenna suggestions, resent
Hello Vic, If you have not done this already, it would be wise to include in any model all nearby metallic objects such as gutters, downpipes, etc, *before* you cut any wire. Such objects can have a profound effect on the horizontal or vertical pattern (or both) of an antenna, as I am sure you know. If the surface of the roof is metal, then a metal grid can be used to represent the roof. If the roof is made of concrete, brick or stone, the roof becomes more difficult to model. I am not certain that I know how to model concrete, brick or stone objects correctly. 73, Geoff LX2AO On September 28, 2013 at 6:47 AM, Vic, K2VCO wrote: I am moving to an apartment on the top floor of a 10 story building.

Re: [Elecraft] National Hamfest, Newark Showground
I was there as well and, after listening to the Flexradio talk later on, decided to get a KX3 from the dealer located next to the Elecraft demonstration area. Well, it wasn't just Elecraft but if you were there you would know where I meant. I had a bit of a surprise when I got home in that I had not realised that I had bought the KX3-K rather than what I now realise I should have asked for, the KX3-F, that being the ready built version! However, after getting an anti-static mat and wrist band (I had been meaning to get these for some time) I started to work through the instructions and finished it at about 3pm this afternoon I could have been quicker but I decided to make sure I had done everything correctly. I'm pleased to say that it switched on and worked first go and I'm now working through the instruction manual to learn about what it can do. I also need to put the paddles together as I decided to get those rather than the microphone. So, KX3 #5111 is alive and hopefully will soon be heard on the air! Oh, BTW, if there are any FISTS or CWops members on here, I hope to be more active on their frequencies than I have been up until now.

[Elecraft] K2 Mic Configuration
K2 mic configuration. I use computer jumpers for the mic headers (get them at Radio Shack), you don't need the resistor in the 5V on the mic header unless you are using a electrodynamic mic, like a computer mic. I normally leave the 5V line unjumpered. I have some old computer boards, so I found a 1K surface mount resistor on one of the old boards, took a jumper and used my Dremel tool to cut away the short, then soldered the 1K surface mount resistor to the jumper. I then checked to make sure I had the 1K resistance across the jumper. This was how I got a resistor for the jumper, for use with a electrodynamic mic. All the other pins are jumpered across, with unmodified jumpers (direct shorts). Realize I created the jumper with the resistor to bias the 5V line for experimentation when I was trying various mics. I now only use my HC5 element in an old Kenwood MC50 Mic. There is no need for a bias resistor with the standard Heil Mics. Heil does make a mic for Icom rigs which requires a bias resistor. __ 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

Re: [Elecraft] National Hamfest, Newark Showground
Thanks David, Yes, I paid the show reduced price for the kit version, I checked when I realised, but the added cost of the paddle meant I didn't fully grasp the difference in price at the time... I tend to keep clear of kits as i have so many unstarted projects that it sometimes means I never get arround to finishing things. However, as there was no soldering and no SMD installation to do and because Kate is away this weekend, I am able to do what I want to do today :-) I'm also a G-QRP Club member (number 3247) so I will also look out on the QRP frequencies as well.

[Elecraft] New Elecraft KX3
Hi all, As I have already waded into a thread I thought I should introduce myself properly. Name is Dave and I live in a place called Bolsover in Derbyshire, UK, with my partner Kate and two black cats. I have a grown up daughter and a son from a previous marriage and a 5 year old grand-daughter. I'm also now a pGrandad to Kate's seven grandsons, so life gets hectic at times. Hence my avoidance of kits under normal circumstances... Radio related clubs that I belong to include UKuG (UK microwaves for those not familiar with SHF in UK :-) ), G-QRP, FISTS, CWops and various QRP and CW based groups that I would need to dig out the details of if challenged to give my membership number, such as the Zombies (no, not those sorts of zombies, the QRP ones). Most of my activity is 23cm and 10GHz. I have a 24GHz rig as well that I inherited and that is one of the reasons for getting the KX3. I'm hoping to get the 144MHz module, when it's released, as the 24GHz unit uses 144MHz as the output IF. Now, I could use the FT817 but I already need that for the 432MHz output from the 10GHz gear and 2M is used as a talkback, so this involves much plugging and unplugging of the 2M cables to use the FT817 with the 24GHz unit. That is where another rig with 2M will be useful. Especially one with good receiver characteristics and is very portable. I also spend some time away from home at times and a portable rig, such as the KX3, might encourage me to have a go on the bands rather than sitting in the bar drinking too much... Hope to work some of you on the bands.

Re: [Elecraft] KXPD3 and single-lever paddles
Dennis, As one who is afflicted with peripheral neuropathy, I can somewhat empathize with your situation. Although I do have demonstrated decreased nerve conduction velocity and numbness in my fingers, I'm still able to manage iambic keying in the 35-40 wpm range. If you're wanting to try single-lever keying, you don't need a single-lever key. Just use your iambic paddles in single-lever fashion, that is do not squeeze, but close the dit and dah contacts in sequence, not at the same time. As a CW instructor, I encourage my students to get an iambic paddle at the outset since it can be used in either mode as their preference dictates after they try both methods. A single-lever paddle rules out iambic. At least one other responder suggested experimenting with varying the mechanical width of the lever finger piece(s). I have several iambic paddles and I do find a wider spacing more to my liking. I think every CW operator has a unique set of parameters that work best for him/her. I'd recommend that you go ahead and try single-lever keying with your iambic paddles as a first step. Hopefully, you'll be able to then tweak other parameters to get where you want to be. Since you're still above 30 wpm in copying ability, maybe you can find the sweet spot combination of paddle configuration that will make it happen for you. Good luck! 73 BILL GERTH, W4RK Jefferson City, MO First Licensed 1954 CWOPS #459 4 States QRP Group KX3 (S/N 112) On Sep 29, 2013, at 9:25 AM, Dennis L.

Re: [Elecraft] KXPD3 and single-lever paddles
Bill, I've had a LOT of different keys and also settled on the Whiterook as a knockabout QRP key. I think it's really an excellent key. Lots of fun to use as a sideswiper too, and just a tad cheaper thanwell just about everything other than a couple of nails in a plank and a hack saw blade! I got the leg strap and it works fine although I found myself just holding on to it most of the time, but the leg strap allows you to have a free hand for logging etc so a nice option to have. 72, Steve W1SFR On Sep 29, 2013, at 4:07 PM, Bill W4ZV wrote: Dennis L.

[Elecraft] CW-Skimmer setup question
Elecrafters, sorry for slightly off topic. I run a K3 with LPPan and PowerSDR I/F Stage. I'm trying to output the I/Q signal via VAC to CW-skimmer, but i get only garbage on the skimmer waterfall. The same setup works fine when i switch off I/Q and only direct the normal audio to cw-skimmer acting as a 3khz-Radio. With my homemade SI-570-based SDR and PSDR 2.xx the I/Q output to CW-Skimmer works fine. Any suggestions? -- Ohne CW ist es nur CB.. 73, Martin DM4iM __ 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] K2 - 20M dead
I thought I'd give a RTTY contest a try this weekend so I dove in. Found out after switching to 15M that I had my filters wrong so had to stop, open up the rig and reset. Everything seemed to be OK after that until I tried transmitting on 20M - dead as a doornail! Receives on 20 just fine, transmits OK on all other bands, but nothing on 20 in any mode. Even occasionally shows hi current on 20 with no actual RF output. Anyone have any idea on where I should start troubleshooting?

[Elecraft] Something's not right with my KAT and KPA
I have the full Kline and I've always thought something was not quite right with my KAT500, but i had an antenna that was below 2:1 in swr and it didn't run. However today I connected my new beam and it is below 2:1 from 14.2 to 14.3 so it was time for the tuner. I put the kpa in standby, set the power on the k3 to 40 watts (tried 30 and 60 no difference) and hit the tune button starting at 14.0 and went up by 20 kHz over the whole range. Everything seemed fine if I transmitted with the kpa at the last tune. However if I then changed the frequency going from let's say 14.2 to 14.070, when I went to transmit at 14.070 all the swr lights went on and I got a fault in the kpa, fault 9 I.e. high reflected power. If I then initiated a tune, there was no tuning occurring and the k3 would give 5.7 to 1 and just sit there. The kat would not tune at all. If I did it again, all of a sudden it would show 1.2 to one and transmit would then be okay. If I then went back to 14.2 again and try to transmit again I would get the high reflected power and if I tuned it would say something like 4.1:1 but then be normalthe second time I hit the tune. So I just went up and down retuning and just in tune mode I would see the same thing if I changed the frequencies by a large amount. So what gives? What am I doing wrong?
