Until I started typing on a computer in 1983

Well one running the operating system that you use with your software at
home is a good place to start.  Bought my daughter a MS Surface last year
and share likes it a lot after a year of use at school.

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] [KX2][KXIQ2] RX I/Q Output for KX2

[Ken G Kopp]

Hi Joe,

I have no idea if we're a typical club, but we're Montana's oldest, FWIW.

We have these Elecraft rigs among the membership of 21 ... 3 K1's, 2
K2/100's, 1 K2/10, 1 KX3 w/PX3 and 2 K3's w/P3's.  None of these radios
have internal batteries.

Two K2's and the KX3 spend part of the summer in RV's that happen to have
solar power.

The club uses a County-owned Yaesu for FD ... mostly to humor the CD guy.
The K2/10 goes to the city park once in a while.

Nobody hikes, but there's some interest in SOTA.

FWIW

Hi Ken,

How do your local radio club members use their KX3 + PX3?  I don't
understand why they wouldn't be interested in using a KX2 + PX3 in these
same situations (e.g., in the backyard, on a picnic table at the park,
camping, day hikes, Field Day, mini DX-peditions, travel, RVing, ...).

Re: [Elecraft] TX Bandwidth

[GRANT YOUNGMAN]

This is all true.  Elecraft CAN in fact give you a much better bandwidth (maybe 
4 Khz+  AUDIO Tx bandwidth when transmitting through the 13 KHz filter), which 
is quite good and sounds great on the air according to reports.  So far, they 
have not been inclined to make it a part of the “standard” feature set and 
officially ignore virtually all related comments and requests (no matter how 
many times you genuflect)   It’s really REALLY hard to understand why … they’ll 
give one interest segment everything they want, and simply ignore this one.  I 
know .. we’re small in number, and some well known list members like to jump in 
bash any request for “wider” bandwidth for anything.

I guess “timepiece" accuracy just gets more swipes.  Like I don’t already have 
a watch :(

At this point in THAT thread, I’m actually surprised there haven’t been 
complaints that they don’t offer interchangeable watch bands for the KX2  …

[Elecraft] KXBC3 clock drift

[VE2PID]

Looking at the schematic of the KXBC3, the real time clock seems to be a 
part of chip PIC24F16KA10.

And a reference to that chip says this:

29.3.9 Calibration
The real-time crystal input can be calibrated using the periodic 
auto-adjust feature. When
properly calibrated, the RTCC can provide an error of less than 3 
seconds per month. This is
accomplished by finding the number of error clock pulses and storing the 
value into the lower half
of the RCFGCAL register. The 8-bit signed value loaded into the lower 
half of RCFGCAL is
multiplied by four and will be either added or subtracted from the RTCC 
timer, once every minute.

Refer to the steps below for RTCC calibration

(Reference: http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/39696b.pdf )

So I wonder if some calibration could be done via a software mod. My 
KXBC3 clock gain about 15 seconds per week ... far away from 3 seconds 
per month ... ??

Re: [Elecraft] [KX2][KX3][KXIQ2] RX I/Q Output for KX2

[Joe Stone (KF5WBO)]

Hi Ray,

That's exactly what I am proposing ... an RX I/Q *option* board (i.e.,
KXIQ2) for the KX2.  The KXIQ2 would serve as an alternative to the KXIO2
Real Time Clock option board, replacing the AUX output of the KXIO2 with an
RX I/Q output.  As an *option* board, the KXIQ2 wouldn't add to the base
cost of the KX2.

> I’m sure that the Elecraft people must have considered the
> idea of such a port on the KX2,

I strongly suspect the earliest KX2's (prior to the field test units) had an
RX I/Q port.

> but made the decision that most KX2 users would not take
> advantage of it.

I don't think this was the reason.  

> So, my money would be on some 3rd party developer figuring

I'd welcome a third-party KXIQ2 option board to expose RX I/Q (even if it
does void the factory warranty).  I periodically ask for the KX2 schematics
for this vary reason.

Re: [Elecraft] Power "per mode and per band"

Thanks, Tom.  I had thought of that, but since I use NaP3 to control

macros which do that job.

Power "per mode and per band"
I am inquiring if it is possible to have settings saved "per mode and
per band".  The current system seems to be "per band" only.

Reason:  Like many, I operate data modes as well as CW/SSB.  On the
latter two, the duty cycle is 50% or less, and running full power (100W)
seems reasonable.  However, on the data modes, the duty cycle is 100%
during transmit, which bothers me, both since it might strain the
amplifier and because there is generally no need for that power.
However, if I back off the power for data modes, it remains backed off
when I try to use SSB or CW on that band.

It is easy to suggest programming fixes when I know nothing of the
program.  But if this is a reasonably easy one, it would be appreciated.

Or maybe someone has found out how to do this with the present firmware
(5.50)?

George, W3HBM

Re: [Elecraft] Power "per mode and per band"

[tomb18]

Hi You could set up a macro and use that to change bands, modes and power. 73

 Subject: [Elecraft] Power "per mode and per band" 
I am inquiring if it is possible to have settings saved "per mode and 
per band".  The current system seems to be "per band" only.

Reason:  Like many, I operate data modes as well as CW/SSB.  On the 
latter two, the duty cycle is 50% or less, and running full power (100W) 
seems reasonable.  However, on the data modes, the duty cycle is 100% 
during transmit, which bothers me, both since it might strain the 
amplifier and because there is generally no need for that power.  
However, if I back off the power for data modes, it remains backed off 
when I try to use SSB or CW on that band.

It is easy to suggest programming fixes when I know nothing of the 
program.  But if this is a reasonably easy one, it would be appreciated.

Or maybe someone has found out how to do this with the present firmware 
(5.50)?

Re: [Elecraft] KXBC3 clock drift

[Don Wilhelm]

Erik,

If you want to experiment with trimming the oscillator for the clock, 
you can try varying the capacitance of C7 and C8 on the KXBC3 option board.


Nominal capacitor values are +/- 5%, so you may be able to find suitable 
capacitors that vary a bit from the nominal 15pF value that will set 
your RTC "right on".  A few pF either side will likely make a 
significant difference.


Again, a bit of experimentation will be in order to get it exactly 
correct.  The actual capacitor value can vary from the nominal value by 
0.75pF and still be in-spec, so only add/subtract a bit at a time.


Monitoring the results over a long time period can be tedious work, but 
if you want it "spot on", it may be worth the effort for you.

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 vs KX3 paddle

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Yes. But there is no issue using the KXPD2 paddles on a KX3.  And one can
order a second short screw for the KXPD3 so they can be used on either rig
as well. Order E700245 from Elecraft.

The long(er) screw does nothing for the installation on a KX3 either, so
there's no reason to have it.

Ha ha, a little snarky comment-wise, but it's an annoyance, not a deal

I was just wondering if it was a one-off issue, and/or if there was a

I've been doing some experimenting with condo patio antennas (hamstick dipole 
up a painters pole, vertical 16' telescoping, long wire up a Jackite pole) with 
the internal batteries at 5W and I'm more than happy with the KX3 over all!

Re: [Elecraft] [KX2][KX3][KXIQ2] Best Base Station: KX2 vs KX3

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I have used the KXPD2 on a KX3 so I can say unequivocally that it does work.
As Don said, just plug it in.

Since the KXPD2 is shorter than the KXPD3, the KXPD2 paddles are slightly
higher above the desk when the tilt stand is deployed, but by only by about
4 mm (0.15 inch).

Re: [Elecraft] TX Bandwidth

[Don Wilhelm]

David,

This is an often asked question - but it confuses the IF (or RF) 
bandwidth with the audio bandwidth.  You can only get 3 kHz of audio 
from a 6 kHz wide AM signal.  If you are using the 13kHz roofing filter 
for AM, you might get a bit more audio bandwidth.
It has been that way since the invention of AM modulation.  The audio is 
only 1/2 of the transmitted bandwidth.


An AM signal occupying 6 kHz of RF (IF) bandwidth will have audio only 
up to 3 kHz.  The AM signal transmits both sidebands, each containing 
the same audio information, so you can only recover half of that in the 
audio range.


The K3(S), KX3 and the KX2 report the audio bandwidth, not the IF (or 
RF) bandwidth.

Re: [Elecraft] [KX2][KX3][KXIQ2] Best Base Station: KX2 vs KX3

[Ray Sills]

Hi Len:

Perhaps this idea (I/Q output from the KX2) would be an area where someone 
would develop an after-market item that would permit tapping the I/Q data and 
porting it to the outside world.  I’m sure that the Elecraft people must have 
considered the idea of such a port on the KX2, but made the decision that most 
KX2 users would not take advantage of it.  I’d suppose that the though process 
was: if it adds another $50 to the price of the rig, how many people would 
decide against the KX2?  Would it be better to skip that feature and just make 
a compact multi-band rig?  I think that the new paddle design was something 
that appeals to more customers, especially since it can also be used with the 
KX3.  There’s always trade-offs in any design project, and you can’t please 
everyone.

In my case, my KX3 is my “main” rig, and I have a PX3 for it.  However, if I 
were to look for an ultra compact rig, it would be for very portable field use. 
 The KX2 might be a candidate, as would the MTR.  But, that’s a big “if”.   I 
already have a bunch of rigs, including a KX1, which is pretty compact in it’s 
own right.

So, my money would be on some 3rd party developer figuring out how to bring out 
the I/Q signal (hopefully doing so without mangling the KX2 and losing the 
factory warranty)… so that the feature can be provided for those who really 
want it.  Me?  I doubt I would ever use such a feature, so I’m not disappointed 
that it’s not already included.  After all, I can use it with the KX3.

Hi all,

I couldn't agree more. I have had Meinberg NTP on both my computers for a

accurate (I have no doubt that it is) but it is certainly totally synced to
WWV as determined by the ear and eyes. Just Google it, install it and use
it. What MS supplies with Windows is junk.

Re: [Elecraft] XG3 Waveform Shape

[Don Wilhelm]

That waveshape is likely normal (although I question the 'rounding' of 
the top/bottoms - check your scope probe compensation).


Looking at my XG3, I see a square wave with considerable overshoot - 
steep vertical sides to the waveform - consistent with 'harmonic rich'.


The XG3 is intended to drive a receiver which will have a Low Pass 
Filter (or other filter) at its input.  That filter will clean up the 
waveform and in most cases produce a nice sine wave at the output of 
that filter.


The XG3 is not a general purpose signal generator.

You should find it a very handy instrument for receiver testing or even 
driving a transmitter low level stage.  If you want a signal generator 
with a clean square or sine wave output, you will have to spend many 
more dollars for an instrument grade signal generator or function generator.


I have an HP-8640B signal generator and an HP-3312A function generator 
for those times I need a clean waveform, but most of the time, the XG3 
is more handy and works well.  The level is controlled and the DDS 
controlled frequency is "on the money".  It can sweep, send morse code 
or RTTY and many other functions can be had when coupled with XG3 Utility.

(eevblogs Dave Jone’s one hung low specials!) looks great, almost perfectly 
square, with excellent risk/fall times, sharp corners, not much over/under 
shoot etc. 

any advise welcome,

[Elecraft] KPod stopped working

I just hooked up the Kpod and and get no response to any functions. I read
through the instructions again but am obviously missing something. The data
cable is firmly in place and power is from USB.

Any thoughts?

I never upgraded to a paid for version of HRD, although I did donate 
to Simon for his versions, as the upgrades I desired were never 
addressed.


I used Simon's version for some digital modes and liked it. I still use 
his mapping utility to generate the paper maps I use to keep track of 
VHF grids and CQ Fields. I had the same reaction you did to the paid 
version, and after a first look, never gave it a second thought.  I've 
been a happy user of DXKeeper and DXView since 2003, and have been 
happily using Spot Collector and WinWarbler for 3-4 years. They're all 
part of AA6YQ's excellent DXLab Suite, which is FREE, stable, actively 
updated (new features, new rigs, new software to control other rigs, 
etc.) and well supported.

[Elecraft] K3S and HRD

Save your self a lot of trouble and change over to Win4K3 Suite. It is 
specifically designed for Elecraft products and the customer support leaves HRD 
in its rearview mirror. Check out the website.

I agree, Len.  In purchasing a KX2 with an RX I/Q output, I'd dedicate my
KX3 to the shack.  I'd use the KX2 / PX3 combination in the backyard, on a
picnic table at the park, for camping, day hikes, Field Day, mini
DX-peditions, travel, RVing, ...

Elecraft already has the art work / silkscreen for the KX2 with RX I/Q left
side panel,

Re: [Elecraft] K3S and HRD

[Bill]

It appears to me that many are quite happy to make excuses for 
shortcomings of the current owner/seller of HRD.


I know from experience, you either jump for the customers and give them 
what they want - or, you will quickly become a "has been." The excuse 
makers will not put food on the table.


I never upgraded to a paid for version of HRD, although I did donate to 
Simon for his versions, as the upgrades I desired were never addressed.


I did download a test version a couple of times, and that confirmed I 
had made a wise decision.


Currently I use a Genovation keypad and a K-Pod for rig control - fully 
customizable to do whatever I want.

The Px3, the rest is nice to have.

I find the PX3 panadapter to be indispensible

KX2's biggest shortcoming to me. 

Thank you, Hajo and Ryan. I think you're absolutely correct.

I attended David Shoaf’s "Shrinking the HF Transceiver" presentation at
Ham-Com in Irving, Texas this year. David is in charge of international
distribution and customer support at Elecraft. As part of his presentation,
David shared that Elecraft was (unpleasantly) surprised by the high
percentage of KX3's being used as base stations, in many cases, serving as
the operator's one and only one HF rig. In other words, operators were
buying KX3's in lieu of, rather than in addition to, K3's.

David stated (repeatedly) that RX I/Q was suppressed on the KX2 ... not to
reduce cost, size or weight, but rather to create "product differentiation"
(his words) with the K3 and KX3. In other words (my words), Elecraft didn't
want to make the same "mistake" with the KX2 that it made with the KX3.

I was able to play with a KX2 at Ham-Com. What a blast. I'm anxious to
purchase a KX2. However, I’d feel cheated purchasing a KX2 knowing RX I/Q
was unnecessarily suppressed (at least from an engineering perspective). 
I’d like Elecraft to offer a KXIQ2 (an alternative to the KXIO2), replacing
the AUX output of the KXIO2 with an RX I/Q output.

Please reply to this thread if you're interested in having Elecraft expose
RX I/Q on the KX2. This will enable the KX2 to be used with a PX3 for
backyard / picnic table portable operation, travel, ... and, of course, in
using the KX2 as a base station at the home QTH. For hand-held, pedestrian
mobile and ultralight backpacking, I'll leave the PX3 at home and disable
the RX I/Q output in order to save the 10 - 15 mA receive-mode current
drain.

Re: [Elecraft] Clock accuracy and JT-65

[Rick WA6NHC]

do NOT trust Windows to set time accurately (and only once a day too).  
They've mangled NTP so badly that it has a five minute accuracy 
window... if you want your computer to be accurate, replace the MS 
client with Meinburg.  Mine stays within a few milliseconds now, easily 
close enough for ham tasks.

Correct. There are various automated schemes for making sure that the
computer clock is accurate; some have been discussed on this forum in the
past. With Windows 8 and later you can sync manually with government time
standards by clicking on the time in the lower right of the taskbar and
working through the menus.

[len]

+1 to this:

"Please reply to this thread if you're interested in having Elecraft expose RX 
I/Q on the KX2."

I've owned a KX1, currently own a KX3/PX3 and a KX2.  I don't have a lot of 
space for my radio gear and am a big fan of the small form factors.   I've had 
more fun with my KX3 than any other radio I have used.  I've become highly 
dependent on the PX3 and wish I had the same option to use one with my KX2.  
For me, having the I/Q on the KX2 would not eliminate need for my KX3.  I still 
want the extra band coverage of 160 and 6 meters, I also use my KX3 on 2 
meters.  Having I/Q on my KX2 would greatly expand the flexibility, and let me 
operate in a similar manner to my KX3.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S and HRD

[Rick WA6NHC]

I'm a beta tester and have griped about it so they are aware of it.  
However they have come to realize firsthand how much WORK a business 
(95% customer complaint management) can be and have (lately) 
concentrated their (meager) programming efforts in other areas to 
provide more for the bulk of people using the software. The only real 
rig control work they've done of late was to add the 7300 into the list 
(and will add the spectrum scope 'someday', yes I 'prodded' and the 
sales rate was an indicator too).


So don't hold your breath until they can get more programming staff 
(open hiring).  It's also a challenge because there is already a fair 
amount of traffic on the serial line (and hams tend to use older, slower 
[cheap] computers) so real time metering display presents other 
challenges in timing and data flow as well.


Having said that, I've looked at other software packages and find them 
missing major elements/requirements (logging for one) or they're simply 
a collection of parts stuck together that needs a tech to keep running 
since they were never designed to work as a suite; they work but don't 
fit together well, consistently or smoothly.  While HRD is lacking 
refinements, it's simple to keep running, works well with it's elements 
and other software can interface with it readily (via tcp/ip, which 
other software packages don't manage at all).

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 ant control (Brian D. Comer)

[Brian D. Comer]

Bill

 

The station has a bank of 4 marine batteries and a 1 kw inverter backing up
the K3s, kat500, Steppir controller, Green heron rotor and the computer.
Power outages are a regular occurrence at this remote location in Upstate
New York, However; the first thing that would happen in this case would have
been the K3s would have powered down and not restarted. 

 

Thanks for the info though I appreciate your reply

Re: [Elecraft] W-2 Wattmeter software

[John]

Hi Joe,

I threw together a quick test in my shack here, did some packet captures
because I was curious about what it actually does, and also did some other
testing.

First things first... On your client machine, open a telnet (or raw, it
doesn't matter which) connection to your server's IP address on port 2001
(or whatever the port you set on your 'server' pc is). You should see what
looks like a lot of gibberish, repeating itself in 8 character blocks. If
this is working then your remote end is successfully connected to the W2,
you have communication through to your remote end, and the fault lies with
your local copy of the W2 software.

If your terminal connection does not receive the strings of gibberish, then
the fault is with your remote copy of the W2 software, because, as you said,
your Avocent device can see the W2 and give you version information. I've
seen once that I had to power cycle the W2 after the software was running to
get the software to see it again, but usually that side seems stable.

For reference, I've pasted a small (half a second) output of the 'gibberish'
I refer to.

73, and a firm left handshake,
John (XLX)

Hello John,

We have a remote station that is 10 miles from my house.  I use Remoterig to
link a TS480SAT from my house to the remote site. There is also a 600 watt
amplifier at the site, so I am using the W2 wattmeter to monitor the output
and VSWR at the remote location.  The Elecraft W2 Interface software is
loaded on my computer at my house and is used as a client to talk to the
remote site.  No com port is involved on the local computer.  At the site I
have a device called an Avocent ESP-4 Serial Hub.  This is connected to the
LAN at the site and provides 4 com ports for various pieces of equipment.
All was working well, except for the fact that I had to occasionally power
cycle the W2 wattmeter to get it to connect.  I built a small circuit that
powers up the W2 wattmeter when the DTR goes high when the software
connects.  The OS in the computer and the W2 software has not changed.

It's almost as if the Elecraft W2 Interface software has stopped functioning
for some reason.

Joe
