[Elecraft] [PX3SVGA] PX3 Internal SVGA Large Screen Adapter

[Joe Stone (KF5WBO)]

Hi Wayne,

What's the best way to move a PX3 Internal SVGA Large Screen Adapter up the
priority list?  What's the best way to gauge interest?  I don't imagine you
want a bunch of "I want one", "Count me in", ... posts to the reflector.  Do
we have a polling mechanism (other than through the KX-line Yahoo! group)?

Small matter of programming. 

There's plenty of code space, but just one lonely guy--Paul--tackling the 
wish-list, working in the bleak silence of the after-hours, armed with a 
keyboard and a slice of stale pizza but without so much as a small dog to keep 
him company. I can try slipping him an extra can of Jolt, but no guarantees.

[Elecraft] P3 Macros?

[Jim Miller]

Can the P3 macros be executed from the K3 since they all seem to have a #

Will the command interpreter then send them to the P3 for execution?

Re: [Elecraft] [P3] [Px3] Display Text Decoding on the screen

[Joe Stone (KF5WBO)]

Can we get a little more in-depth technical explanation as to why the P3
can't display decoded text on its TFT-LCD display?  Neither the P3SVGA nor
PX3 decode text.  They simply display text characters already decoded by the
K3 and KX3, respectively.  Why can't the P3 write the text decoded by the K3
to its TFT-LCD display?  Is the P3 MIPS/memory-challenged?

Re: [Elecraft] KX Paddles

[w4sc]

Received my KXDP2 about two weeks ago.

I can report that I too have issue with contact adjustment.  After reading Toms 
email, one of the contact posts was found to be loose.  I cannot say the 
contact screws are becoming loose, as they were readjusted to correct the 
spacing issue caused by the post being loose.

Is there a fix I can perform “in the field” to correct.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 with a random wire for 80 meters

[george allen]

We have used some crazy antennas with our KX3s.  N8NCR connected to my random 
length 100'+ antenna in the front yard, held the KX3 in his hand, no ground, 
and worked 20mtr SSB dx with 5x7 report.  I used a 60' wire up 10' with  a 50 
wire counterpoise on the ground, from Rockville Md., and worked into Fla. and 
the east coast on 40 at dusk getting good reports.

I suggest that you try different antennas and see what works best for you.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 with a random wire for 80 meters

[Don Wilhelm]

Don,

If your 135 foot radiator is center fed with either coax or parallel 
transmission line, it will work well on 80 meters.  If you use parallel 
transmission line, it can easily be tuned for other bands as well.


If you are thinking of feeding that 135 foot radiator from the end, in a 
word *don't*.  It will have a very high feed impedance and you are not 
likely to be able to match it with the KX3 tuner, and the Kenwood AT200 
tuner is not likely to match it either - the highest impedance that 
tuner will match is 500 ohms and an end fed halfwave antenna will have a 
feed impedance of about 4000 ohms.


The 84 foot radiator with a 17 foot counterpoise would be a better 
choice, but other lengths will work well too.


If you can manage it, use a balanced, center fed antenna, it is the 
easiest to deal with and will result in less RF-in-the-shack.

[Elecraft] Display Text Decoding on the screen

[Dauer, Edward]

And if the next question is whether you can use just one monitor toggled 
between the computer and the P3, the answer is yes.  Many new monitors have 
built-in push-button source switching, or as I do you can use a small switchbox 
with SVGA/DB15 jacks.  Switchboxes are available for very little money and can 
be used without pushing the monitor around.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [P3] [Px3] Display Text Decoding on the screen
 
Hajo,

If you have not concluded by now from the various posts, the text decode 
for the P3 does not appear on the P3 display.  With the P3SVGA option, 
text can be displayed on the attached SVGA display, and keyboard text 
will also be displayed and transmitted.  You do not need a computer, 
just an SVGA monitor.

[Elecraft] KX3 with a random wire for 80 meters

I am going to work the Ohio QSO party with QRP(I'm in VA)and would like to get 
on 80. I will be operating from the dining room table by the sliding glass door 
to the back yard. I'm thinking of either directly hooking a 84 ft and 17 ft 
counterpoise to the KX3 and running them outside, or using an AT200 Kenwood 
tuner with a 135 foot wire out into the back yard and a counterpoise hooked to 
ground of the AT200. What will work best for the KX3. ( I have the built in
