Re: [Elecraft] K3 ,SSB settings,
Make sure you have the correct Mic selected, and that it's configured properly. Mic inputs are on the front and rear panel. The front panel socket is an 8-pin Foster type, and the rear is a 3.5mm stereo-type jack. If you have the hand mic plugged into the front panel, make sure the BIAS setting is correct. If BIAS is off and you're using a condenser hand mic, this might explain the no-audio problem. 73 and Happy New Year! matt W6NIA On Thu, 1 Jan 2015 17:19:14 +0100 (MET), you wrote: Hello ., Cant get my Elecraft K3 to work in SSB mode :-((, I am an newcomer to K3, and want to ask :Is there any settings in the config meny that can disable the SSB mode?, the mic is the orginal hand mic, and it bring the K3 in PTT, but no power out during settings of mic gain and cmp gain.. 73'Viggo LA9NEA __ 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 mzil...@roadrunner.com Matt Zilmer, W6NIA -- Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe. -A.

Re: [Elecraft] Heil Classic
John, I’m sure it is possible. I’ve made an adapter for my Heil Gold Elite microphone (which I love!) for the KX3. This Heil had the Kenwood cable which has a Cat 6 RJ-45 connector which needed an adapter into the three-ring mini-plug. Cost all of $4.75 and about 20-minutes. Hell has a pin list for every microphone on its web site, and the Elecraft folks can give you the pin designation for the mini-plug which, if I remember, is simply element/PTT/ground. The Gold Elite is a hand held with a PTT switch. David Ahrendts, KC0XT On Dec 31, 2014, at 5:48 PM, John Glascock (N0IB) n0ib.j...@gmail.com wrote: Is it possible to connect a Heil Classic to a KX3?

Re: [Elecraft] K3 front panel encoders
Don, Thank you for the reply! I will follow your advice, a new encoder is now on the way from Elecraft. 73, Rickard SA2CIR Don Wilhelm-4 wrote Richard, I don't know of any way to resurrect a failing encoder. The fact that the switch works is entirely different - the switch function is not related to the rotational function of the encoder. I would simply replace the encoder. As far as the fact that it works for the first 10 seconds after a power up is not really significant, that depends on the starting position of the encoder. If the output from the encoder does not cycle in the A to B (or B to A) sequence, the control will not be smooth, even though subsequent (through frustration) rotation of the encoder will produce some results. 73, Don W3FPR -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Re-K3-front-panel-encoders-tp7594936p7596631.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

Just pull out the documentation for the mic and the K3, see what pins are connected to the mic on each end, dig out the connectors, pull out your soldering iron, and make the adapter. I buy ham mic connectors at ham flea markets and keep a few in the junk box. I buy audio connectors from Full Compass (near Madison, WI).

Re: [Elecraft] KPA100 unable to get a low null for SWR cal
Michael, With all the holiday stuff, I think your question did not yet receive a response. Yes, you should be able to obtain a very good null when you adjust the capacitor. Pre-set the trimmer pots R26 and R27 to measure 43k from the wiper to ground - you can easily measure that resistance from pins 3 and 5 of U5. If you transmit into an open 'load' you will have the same voltage on the forward and reflected - that part is normal. Is this a newly built KPA100? If so, what is the color of the C1 body? If it is blue, no problem, also if it is white, again no problem, but if it is brown, that capacitor will not work in the C1 location - email parts at elecraft dot com and request a PN E540012 capacitor to use at the C1 location. If this is an older KPA100 with either a blue or ceramic capacitor at C1, there is a possibility that C1 has failed. Order PN E540012 to use as a replacement (the blue trimmer caps are no longer available). 73, Don W3FPR On 12/28/2014 7:45 PM, Michael via Elecraft wrote: Usually I can get a SWR null around 10 - 15 mV with the power level at 2W. For some reason I can only adjust it down to around 200 mV into a 50 Ohm dummy load. I have tried changing the diodes and U5 but they did not make a difference. Also rewound T4 using another toroid. Also noticed that when I disconnect the dummy load and transmit at the 2W adj level both FOR and REFL voltages are about the same (TP4 = 1.1Vdc, IC5 pin 7=1.1Vdc)! Shouldn't the VREFL be much higher then the VFWD? Both pots are adj to 27.8 kOhms for power calibration at 2W using a LP-100A.

Or get a dual monitor - two screens side-by-side on a single mount - if space allows. Several of the manufacturers make them.

He was a sales clerk, not an engineer so far as I know, so I have my doubts. When this question was last on the reflector someone suggested converting the P3¹s SVGA output into an Internet signal. Both Windows and Mac allow simultaneous display of the browser and any other resident application.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 RTTY Mac Software
Hi David, I use FLDigi on Mac. In fact, I have it running now, connected to my KX3. I use the KXUSB cable for Rig control; had to load the FTDI drivers that you can find a link to on Elecraft's site or click here - http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm. FLDigi gives you basic Rig control. You can download FLRig if you want more rig control from the Mac. There are no specific rig files for the KX3, but choosing the K3 beta rig control seems to cover about 90% of all the rig control I need from the computer. The KX3 is after all sitting right in front of me. Not hard to just reach out and change what I need on the rig itself. I use the KX3 cable with the green patch between the Mic (KX3) and Headphone jack (Macbook OS X 10.5.8). I use the cable with the red patch between the headphone jack (KX3) and the line-in input on the Macbook. I also set the VOX on the KX3 so it will transmit when I hit send on FLDigi. For digital modes, the VOX on the KX3 is excellent. This really makes your onboarding to digital modes with the KX3 very very easy and quick. You will of course need to ensure that the sound levels are not too high on the Mac (both main sound volume and line-in) and that all sound effects are turned off in this configuration. You will need to experiment a bit to get the Mac levels and the KX3 (AF and Mic Gain) levels right and not too high to get a nice looking waterfall. I think my Mic Gain is set at 18 and AF is 8 in combination with about 30% speaker volume and 50% line-in on the Mac. Alternatively, you can use a USB sound card (Soundblaster or Griffin iMic from Amazon) to give FLDigi a different sound card to use than the main sound card in your Mac. You will need to set the KX3 to data and sub-mode Data A. I also adjust the bandwidth to 4.0 (PBT I) so that the KX3 sends all that it hears within the USB bandwidth on 20meters. That's pretty much it. Learn FLDigi and run on any platform. I love HRD and DM780, but sadly it is Windows only and I have moved on from Windows to Linux and Mac. I have installed and executed FLDigi on each platform and am starting to broaden my macro knowledge in order to control the rig for contesting. FLDigi has a good user's guide. I highly recommend reading it and consulting it often. It will help. With use, you will remember more and FLDigi will be your goto digital mode program. One thing I noted about FLDigi with RTTY is that it consumes about 10-15% more processor cycles than PSK31. Not sure why and I have changed multiple config settings in hopes to reduce that load to no avail. If you are plugged into the mains, then no problem. If you are running on a Macbook on battery, might be a little less running time when portable. P.S. I have just recently learned that the Elecraft KX3/PX3 Utility programs for Mac are only OS X 10.6+ compatible. So, I either update the OS or use Linux. Right now, my main shack computer is Linux. Not a big deal for me at this point that I can't run the utility programs on Mac. I am getting the Macbook ready for Winter Field day Jan 24-25th and should have all that I need set-up ahead of time utility wise. regards, Brian VE3IBW On Thu, Jan 1, 2015 at 1:09 PM, David Ahrendts davidahren...@me.com wrote: Total newby to RTTY.

[Elecraft] Lost in K3 and MMTTY and N1MM setup
This posting somehow got lost in another thread about something different so my apologies for reposting Someone posted some links to setting up MMTTY or MMvari for rtty and I lost them. I am struggling with a few problems. I am using MMTTY with AFSK within N1MM I will build an adapter for FSK I am hunting some parts now, but for now I will use AFSK and hope to for the RTTY roundup this weekend. One issue is mode changes. when I am using MMTTY and N1MM it wants to change the mode from AFSK to FSK when ever I change bands or select RTTY mode from N1MM I have to press DATA MD and change it from FSK-d back to AFSK A also Every time close MMTTY and open it from N1MM again it forgets that I am using the COM-2 for PTT it reverts to NONE.All the other settings like mark frequency seem to hold. other than that things are working fine. RX and TX is fine once I set everything someting I dont want to have to do every time I start N1MM Any advice or If anyone has those Links I would appreciate it. -- David Moes VE3DVY, VE3SD __ 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] P3 and Other Windows Simultaneously
Hi If you have a pc with a spare pci express slot and you are running a 64bit operating system you can buy the avermedia hd game broadcaster and use it to display a resizable window on your PC monitors. If you are really ambitious, you can then use VLC, to stream the video to where you want. The reason I say ambitious is that it is extremely difficult to configure VLC for streaming since the documentation is very poor and there are multiple explanations all of which use different syntax. I spent a week trying and only managed to stream to a Windows media player at a low rate. In principle you can stream at 192 kHz but good luck. 73's Tom va2fsq.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

Thank you to Don W3FPR who solved my problem! I could not get the swr null lower than 200 mV. Provided trim cap C1 was brown and did not have the minimum capacitance required. I used a Murata green trimmer cap which now allows me to go down to 7.5 mV and the SWR shown on all bands into a dummy load it 1.0:1. The replacement cap from Elecraft is part number E540012 (5 pF to 15 pF white body) which should be used at C1.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 and Other Windows Simultaneously
OK, bad terminology. I’m a lawyer, not an engineer. The suggestion someone (I forget who) made was this - take the P3’s SVGA output and change it by some miracle into something the MAC’s Internet browser would think is an incoming Internet site. Then, because the Mac (and every other computer) can display an Internet site simultaneously with any other window from an onboard app, the problem is solved. How that magical transformation could be made to happen was beyond me. EAD Edward A. Dauer, LL.B., M.P.H.

I am assuming that the SVGA option still does not let you size the window and allow other programs to be displayed on the same monitor, correct? Just want to verify in case things changed. __ 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 fptowns...@earthlink.net - No virus found in this message.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 RTTY Mac Software
I mostly use cocoaModem for RTTY and other digital modes. I have also used fldigi. For both programs, I use a SignaLink USB as the interface between my MacBook Pro and the K3 with a home brew cable that connects the SignaLink to the Line In and Out connectors on the back of the K3. I use a separate connection for PTT from the SignaLink to the PTT In connector on the K3. This last connection lets me switch between voice and digital modes without changing the K3's VOX setting. (Note that in this configuration, the SignaLink is performing the VOX function.) For RTTY, I run the K3 in AFSK A mode. I use DATA A mode for all other digital modes. I have a preference for cocoaModem over fldigi. I think I get better decoding from cocoaModem, but my preference may be mostly that I am much for familiar with cocoaModem than with fldigi. cocoaModem is well integrated with both RUMlog, a DX and general purpose logging program, and RUMped, a contest logging program. All these programs are no cost and source code is available for cocoaModem. 73 Bill AE6JV On 1/1/15 at 10:09 AM, davidahren...@me.com (David Ahrendts) wrote: Total newby to RTTY. Wanna learn it.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 and Other Windows Simultaneously
There are monitors on the market that have PbP (Picture beside Picture) capability built-in. I just acquired a Planar Systems IX-2850 4K 28 display which can display two, three or four inputs on-screen at once. Since it's a 4K display when four inputs are shown each one still gets 1920x1080 pixels. One note to remember however is that a 28 4K monitor has very small pixels. 73, Steve AD7OG From: Dauer, Edward eda...@law.du.edu wrote: Or get a dual monitor - two screens side-by-side on a single mount - if space allows. Several of the manufacturers make them. Interestingly, a fellow at the Apple store here told me that the older Macs could have two displays on the same screen one of which was a VGA input, but the newer ones (as of three or four years ago) cannot. He was a sales clerk, not an engineer so far as I know, so I have my doubts. When this question was last on the reflector someone suggested converting the P3?s SVGA output into an Internet signal. Both Windows and Mac allow simultaneous display of the browser and any other resident application.

Re: [Elecraft] Lost in K3 and MMTTY and N1MM setup
Re mode changes - in the N1MM Logger's Configurer window, under the Mode Control tab, for Mode sent to radio for RTTY, set the listbox to AFSK. If it is set to RTTY, the Logger will switch the K3 to FSK D. Re PTT, there are many different ways to control PTT. If you are using AFSK, you can let N1MM Logger do all the PTT control, either using RTS on the same COM port you use for radio control, or by using software commands, or by using a separate COM port, or from a Winkeyer (N1MM Logger can use the Winkeyer's PTT output in all modes, not just CW). If you opt for any of these methods, MMTTY's PTT FSK port should be set to NONE. Alternatively, you can control PTT (and FSK, if you are using it) from MMTTY on a separate COM port, in which case MMTTY needs to be configured to use that port. How you configure N1MM Logger depends on which method you are using for PTT control. This is all described at http://n1mmplus.hamdocs.com/tiki-index.php?page=Digital+Setupstructure=N1MM+Logger+Documentation#Setting_Up_the_Configurer. 73, Rich VE3KI VE3DVY wrote: One issue is mode changes. when I am using MMTTY and N1MM it wants to change the mode from AFSK to FSK when ever I change bands or select RTTY mode from N1MM I have to press DATA MD and change it from FSK-d back to AFSK A also Every time close MMTTY and open it from N1MM again it forgets that I am using the COM-2 for PTT it reverts to NONE.All the other settings like mark frequency seem to hold. __ 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
[Elecraft] KX3 150Hz tone
Happy 2015 everyone! Last year at Dayton I wanted to talk to a couple .mil comm guys. Lots of them had radios in the 6m band (which my KX3 supported) but they have a PL tone of 150Hz. How hard would it be for Elecraft to put this into the next firmware update? I think it would be awesome to get some KX3s on some green gear nets in the future! Take care all and hope you have a good new year! http://a.pomf.se/tejvqf.jpg __ 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
