[Elecraft] I get the digest; how can I get to all the other postings?
Hello, I've asked this question a couple years ago and received an answer, which worked but I no longer remember it. S ince then, the digest has been all I needed. But today I want to look at the other postings, specifically about Bienno battery postings by K9YC. How can I get to them? TIA for any reply. 73 Jerry KM3K __ 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] Wizkers:Radio update for the XG3 and community forum
Hi everyone! Just a quick heads up: I have just released Wizkers:Radio 0.1.6, which adds support for frequency sweeps on the XG3, a feature that was missing and several of you asked me for. Now you have it :) Looking forward to hearing feedback from testers. Speaking of which: I don't want to hijack the Elecraft reflector with discussions related to this rig controller, and I have just launched a community forum for Wizkers:Radio at http://forum.wizkers.io/, so feel free to register there and join the conversation. 73 de ed w6ela __ 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] FS: Elecraft K2/100
I have an extremely clean K2 (100 w version) for sale. I am the second owner. The construction is very professional, and the radio functions without any problems. It is a 3100+ serial number with the Rev "B" mainboard. All additional Elecraft updates have been made to bring the radio up to current standards. Installed options (in addition to the 100-w module) include the KSB2 SSB adapter, KNB2 noise blanker and KAF2 audio filter and real-time clock. The VFO has been fitted with a slightly larger and more comfortable knob with a rubber ring and finger hole. The radio has never been around tobacco smoke. I will also include a Kenwood MC-43S hand mic, a serial cable for pc-to-radio interface, and a fused power cord fitted with Anderson PowerPoles. All manuals and upgrade documents are included. Pictures are available. This is a great performing radio! $700 firm plus shipping from Santa Barbara, CA. 73 de K6SBA David in Santa Barbara __ 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] KX3 setting up digital
When i tested, mic bias remained on when switching to data mode. And it is annoying because when using the radio with an smart phone the plug is not recognised as an 4pole plug for some reason. Also mic button settings can't be changed. So every time i go from hand mic to phone I forget, the stereo plug triggers the ptt, and I have to switch back to ssb to make changes. I wold love to be able to change mic settings in data mode. And that mic level, button and bias settings to be stored pr mode. Something for the next firmware maybe? 73 La4tta Erlend. 8. mai 2016 4:47 p.m. skrev "Bill Frantz" : > I had to set up my KX3 for digital operation with a SignaLink USB from > scratch again, and I had to learn the same "features" which tripped me up > the last time over again the hard way.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 setting up digital
Bill, I was certain I read that mic bias was off on DATA, but now am not so sure as I cannot find reference to it. Perhaps I stumped because it isn't adjustable that it isn't on. So don't take my word for it. Perhaps I was thinking about other parameters like TX equalisation or mic button tuning or something like that. 73 from David GM4JJJ > On 8 May 2016, at 18:51, David Anderson via Elecraft > wrote: > > BIll, > > I believe that in Data mode, the bias if switched on in SSB is automatically > switched off. > > You are right about point 1, that tripped up a lot of people, including > your's truly. > > 73 from David GM4JJJ > >> On 8 May 2016, at 15:46, Bill Frantz wrote: >> >> I had to set up my KX3 for digital operation with a SignaLink USB from >> scratch again, and I had to learn the same "features" which tripped me up >> the last time over again the hard way.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 internal battery problems
Hi list, and thanks for useful information. I usually do not deeply discharge the cells. This was only for checking the actual capacity at the cells before testing. I just measured the voltage of the 8 cells, once with the KX3 off, once with receiving with high volume. These are the results: Cell KX3 off KX3 on --- 11,36 1,17 21,36 1,16 31,36 1,26 41,36 1,13 51,34 1,12 61,34 1,22 71,34 1,19 81,34 1,13 This does not look good. I have now ordered new Panasonic Eneloop PRO AA Mignon Akku LR06 2450mAh. Looking forward to testing those.

[Elecraft] KX3 setting up digital
I had to set up my KX3 for digital operation with a SignaLink USB from scratch again, and I had to learn the same "features" which tripped me up the last time over again the hard way. I'm documenting them here in hopes I won't forget them the next time. (I'm also writing them on a file card to keep with the radio.) (1) High levels of Mic input show up as zero signal. The fix is to always start from 0 and move slowly up in levels. Mic level 5 seems to be about right for my setup. (2) You can't be in a digital mode (DATA A etc.) and turn off mic bias. All you get is N/A. It seems to be a poor idea to DC bias the isolation transformers in the SignaLink, so you really need it off. And of course, voice modes won't work until you turn mic bias back on again. In an ideal world, the level, bias, and VOX settings would be saved separately for Data and Voice modes. (And the radio would recognize that mic input settings need to be made in data modes.) But the results are worth it. From New Hampshire, I've been able to work 14 DXCCs including an ATNO. I also had a long rag chew with AE5ZA in Texas, all on 20M PSK31/63 with only a few hours of operating. 73 Bill AE6JV --- Bill Frantz|"We used to quip that "password" is the most common 408-356-8506 | password.

[Elecraft] [KX3]KXBC3 upgrade?
Is there any possibility that the KXBC3 will be upgraded to work with LiFePO4 AA cells. If I'm not mistaken the LiFePO4 cells are 3.2V so you could cut the number of cells in half and free up some space in the radio for other "stuff" also increasing available stand alone battery voltage to 12.8V give or take. LiFePO4 cells aren't bleeding edge battery tech and are much safer than Li polymer. They are in everything. A 50% increase in energy density 120 wh/kg vs 80 wh/kg for NiMH is hard to ignore.
