Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft KX1 - a builder's review
My KX1 has the old 30m board. Its power output is 4,2w on 20m from a 13,8 supply., but approaches 7 watts with the A123 pack. Perhaps the 80m board lowers the output, I have no way of testing. I don't think 80m QRP is as popular on the Left Coast of the U.S as it is elsewhere. I rarely operate there anyway. 73 Eric. WD6DBM Johnny Siu vr2...@yahoo.com.hk wrote: Basic KX1 gives more power. I am not surprised for power output over 4W. However, with the addition of KXB3080 module, the low pass filter LPF1 is a compromise, it will be hard to squeeze power up to 4 watts. 73 Johnny VR2XMCKX1 # 2839 寄件人︰ Eric Norris norrislawfi...@gmail.com 收件人︰ Mike Morrow k...@earthlink.net 副本(CC)︰ elecraft@mailman.qth.net 傳送日期︰ 2014年12月17日 (週三) 2:55 PM 主題︰ Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft KX1 - a builder's review My KX1 puts out over 5 watts when powered with an A123 LiFePO pack, and will run longer than I can from a small.4S1P battery. It fits perfectly into a Pelican 1060 box, which makes it nearly indestructible when using it to soften face plants while xc skiing. It's perfect as is, though a 40-20-15 version would be interesting. I'd like to see a single-band KX0, the size of a Rockmite, a full 1-2 watts out, with attendant Elecraft mojo. THAT would be cool.

Of course the KX1 was designed as the ultimate Trail-Friendly Radio (TFR) and that it is! I always preferred the K1 versus the KX1. I must have 15m, plus the KX1 really needs a four-pole IF filter, IMO. I have a dream of a KX2 that is a KX1 descendant, with four-pole filter, 15m and maybe other bands not on a KX1, back-lit LCD vs LED, noise blanker, and everything required for the band coverage laid out from the start in the design, and not as an after- thought. (As has been often noted, the KX1 is not particularly easy rig to build with all the options.) I'd also like to see 5 watt output on all bands with 14 vdc power. Perhaps it could even be a factory-built SMT design. Finally, that KX2 would need an ATU capable of far more than 254 combinations of reactance insertion. The KAT1's 1022 combinations would be minimum, IMHO. A small, capable, simple-to-operate, very low-power-consumption QRP rig still has great appeal even with availability of the overwhelming capability of the KX3.

[Elecraft] KX3 More on Sideband Nulling Issue
In re-running the KX3 opposite sideband nulling procedure, I am seeing more I don't understand. I have very carefully set all parameters according to the procedure, so I'm quite sure RIT, normal CW, dual receive is off, etc are set properly. The automatic null operation works fine for FL1 (I can hear and see the null being found), but does not null at all for FL2 or FL3. There is no change in test signal level for FL2 and FL3 when the automatic null procedure (or manual for that matter) is running. Screen ends up with Gain 00. Anomaly exists on all bands. In actual operation, the filters seem to work properly, and the display indications for width and filter selection are as they should be. The problem is that there is no opposite sideband suppression at all when FL2 or FL3 are selected. That's also what I am seeing during the automatic null procedure, when no change is observed in the signal level as the null operation progresses. There is good suppression when FL1 is selected. This KX3 is factory-built, S/N 0162, latest firmware. Any ideas? --Ed-- --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

[Elecraft] KX3 End plates, cover and heatsink
I have just received the controversial KX3 heatsink, end plates and Perspex (Plexiglas) cover from an eBay advertiser purporting to be in China. I realise there have been derogatory comments on here about this seller's product, but nevertheless I would like to tell you about it. The black finish and lettering match perfectly to the KX3 itself and the Perspex cover is strong and fits well. The heatsink also fits perfectly. All pieces are fixed using the existing KX3 screws. A small pack of thermal compound is also supplied with a plastic application tool. To sum up, I have no complaints whatsoever. And now the best bit... The whole lot cost me 68.88ukp with free shipping. (I see they are currently being sold at 65.44ukp.) The package was evidently dispatched from Belgium. Consequently, as a country in the European Community there were no customs, VAT or administration charges to pay. Yes, I would have liked to have bought these from the original USA developers. But the additional customs charges and shipping costs to Great Britain would have been prohibitive. So, anyone in the UK or Europe, go for it.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 End plates, cover and heatsink
David Good to know. I, like you have to deal with the 'free trade' that the US has with Canada (not). The import brokerage and duties make it difficult for those in the US to ship into Canada and remain competive with the Chinese. I can limit that cost by using USPS over Fedex, UPS or DHL, but I still get dinged. To give you an idea, a $500 item may add up to $100 just to clear the border from the US into Canada. Yes, ham radio is duty exempt, but I still have to pay brokerage and HST (like your VAT). Like you just found out, we seem to have free trade with China. Any items I order from China arrive at my door with no addtional charges. If I travel to the US, I often order items and have them shipped to my hotel and then I hand carry it back. This does limit the market for those in the US sadly.

[Elecraft] Odd WWV and K3 frequency issue...
I have calibrated the TCXO using the WWV and Spot method outlined in the manual. It also agrees with my HP counter which is good to 10^-10 or so. I have also done the VCO calibration outlined in the manual which seems to have completed it to the satisfaction of the K3. BUT, when I look at WWV on 10.000 MHz, the carrier is down about 70 Hz from the center point on the P3, and when I switch from USB to LSB, I can hear the 70 Hz on LSB and cannot hear it on USB of course because it's below my audio passband on USB. Any idea what causes this anomaly? Just curious...I probably don't understand the K3's guts as well as I should. - Chuck, KE9UW -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Odd-WWV-and-K3-frequency-issue-tp7596086.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Digest, Vol 128, Issue 31
Hi, I don't think this is a fair comment. Remember that fldigi is a free, public-domain suite of programs. Dave cannot possibly program/test the code with the dozens of rigs it can be used with. In most cases the rig control is done by someone else who happens to have that hardware. In your case (you don't mention using flrig) your probably using hamlib for the actual control, again NOT written by the fldigi crew. Questions: Does the opmode control at top of fldigi change to reflect the mode, ie. it should say DATA when in data-a mode, and USB when in usb mode. Have you tried using flrig/xmlrpc for rig control? Integrated with fldigi, it provides a nice set of nobs, and uses direct serial port control of the k3 (ie, not going thru hamlib). Be sure to have the radio on b4 starting it as it probes the k3 on initialization for setup info. I have been doing extensive work with fldigi/flrig and my k3/mercury sdr, and have not seen this problem.

Re: [Elecraft] New K3 beta firmware release, rev. 5.01: Much-improved audio during CW keying
Hi Jim, We make beta's a little different to get on purpose so that unsuspecting users don't download the beta (with potential bugs) by mistake through the usual utility route. Instead we provide the release in a zip file that the user copies and unzips to a local computer directory, and then loads via the utility. We also want to make sure beta testers are the ones who really are interested in testing the software and reporting any issues. The two step method above accomplishes this for us. We've used this method for the past 7 years with good feedback. On the K3 firmware page, where the beta is described, there is a link with clear instructions on how to get the .zip file for the beta releases. It says: See the K3 Beta Firmware Instruction http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_beta_release_instructions.htm for information on obtaining beta releases. Beta releases are not automatically recognized by the K3 Utility.

Re: [Elecraft] Auto antenna select
Yes. It's all automatic after training, except I use window line for a feed, it varies with rain. So when remote, I use TeamViewer and the KAT utility to make sure things are tuned. Very simple to manage remotely. 73, Rick wa6nhc Tiny iPhone 5 keypad, typos are inevitable On Dec 17, 2014, at 7:27 PM, Va3ied scottshepp...@videotron.ca wrote: I recently purchased the kat500and love it.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 aux 12V power for KAT500
No. I doubt if the internal 12V regulator in the KPA has enough spare capacity to run the KAT500. I certainly wouldn’t want to try it, and strongly suggest others not to.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 aux 12V power for KAT500
Let me rephrase my answer. There is no 12V output form the KPA500. The internal 12V regulator is pretty well loaded, taking most of the capacity of the regulator. The KAT500 needs upwards of 1 amp when the relays are switching, and there is not enough capacity in the KPA’s regulator to handle that and maintain its own circuits (some of which are critical to the KPA’s operation). So, no, power to run the KAT500 really cannot be derived from the KPA500. Current K3’s _do_ have capacity on their 12V output, and older ones can be upgraded to handle the current. Or, you can go the route I traveled - build a small relay-switched power distribution box. I use the 12V output form the K3 to power the relay, which simply switches my main 12V shack supply to the peripherals needed when the K3 is on. In my case this includes a W2, KRC2 and KPA500 among other devices. Hope this helps. 73!
