[Elecraft] New K-Board Feature

[Shel Radin KF0UR]

Hi all,

We want to let you know of a new feature in the QRPworks K-Board for the
KX2, KX3, K3, K3S.

In our first firmware release, using the free Message Management Utility
that runs on a PC or Mac, you could define 10 named groups of 20 messages
and/or rig macros (80 characters each).  You then selected a group to
download to the K-Board for use.  A group might be for Field Day, SOTA
activation, NPOTA, a contest, or any event / outing you could think of.   

With the new Message Management Utility now available (version 2.0) and the
latest K-Board firmware (version 2.2.1), you can download all 10 groups of
messages / macros (that's up to 200) to the K-Board.  Then in the K-Board,
you can select the group of 20 messages / macros to use (with a wireless or
wired keyboard).  The K-Board will confirm the group selected by displaying
the group name (i.e."Field Day") on the rig's scrolling text display.

In addition, you can edit the messages / macros in the field, in case you
forgot something or need to make a change.

So you can send messages in CW, RTTY, or PSK by using a message or just
typing on the keyboard.

Current K-Board users can upgrade for free.  Please contact QRPworks if
you'd like to do so.

Tnx & 73,

Shel KF0UR & Steve KB3SII

As others have pointed out, from a regulatory standpoint this is a moot
point as far as US amateurs are concerned.  The Rules have not required
such identification for many years now.  What you add  voluntarily is
your business unless the identifier after the US call sign conflicts
with another Administration's call sign block - the one exception is US
hams operating in Canada where the Canadian VE goes after the US call
sign rather than before.   Someday someone is going to get after those
repeater operators who add "/R" (Russia's block) after their repeater CW
ID - /RPT is OK, though

I like to say  "K2ASP on the move" when I pull out of my parking space.

Re: [Elecraft] K-Pod Tuning rate

[Charles R.Tropp via Elecraft]

Hi Art,
Wayne already answered this question:
"The K3 and K3S both use all 400 counts of the VFO A and B encoders (100 
pulses/track/revolution). 

The K-Pod defaults to 200 counts. During our testing we found that this 
provided the best compromise between precision and "fussiness" for typical 
K-Pod operations.

We plan to add a function to K-Pod Utility (which itself isn't quite ready yet) 
that will allow the user to change this to 100/200/400.

Wayne

Using the K-Pod, the QSY is only 1 Khz per revolution.


It would seem to be more logical if both changed frequency at the same rate. 
How can this be accomplished?

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] Mobile/Portable gray zone

[Bill Frantz]

My reading of the DXCC regs is that no contacts from a boat 
count for DXCC, even if the boat is in a harbor, tied to a dock, 
or floating on a lake entirely within the DXCC. So the snarky 
question is, does putting an antenna on a stand on the dock make 
it a portable operation the way an antenna on a stand would move 
a mobile operation to portable? Does it then count for DXCC?

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Software Request

[Joe Stone (KF5WBO)]

Not sure if you own a PX3 or whether a PX3 is appropriate for the type of
portable operation in question, but I think the PX3 MSD (Mass Storage
Device) feature is the closest thing to what you're looking for.  You can
save multiple configurations.  Unfortunately, the PX3 currently only accepts
a hardcoded file name.  You need some way of renaming the configuration file
on the MSD in order to load one of many configurations.

Exactly right. The generally accepted definition of mobile is "capable 
of operation in motion, including all components of the station." When 
you park and set up a antenna or generator that cannot operate in 
motion, you're portable. This definition, or something quite close to 
it, is written into the rules of contests where mobiles are a class of 
operation.

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] Mobile/Portable gray zone

[Alan. G4GNX]

This is fairly easy and appears to (mostly) have world wide agreement.

If you are operating from a vehicle, whether it's moving or stationary and 
transmission equipment is contained on or in the vehicle, in other words 
it's capable of being moved without alteration, then you are mobile. This 
applies even if you were outside the vehicle with the microphone cable 
trailing out the window.


The moment you attach anything to the transmission equipment that is outside 
the vehicle, whether supported by it or not, thus preventing the vehicle 
from being moved without detachment, then you are portable.


Something also often used is "static mobile". This suffix does not exist and 
IMO sounds rather silly.

This is a very simple question concerning what is considered mobile or 
portable operation. If I am driving my car and communicating on any band I 
am obviously mobile. If I pull over and operate with my mobile setup I am 
still mobile? If I set up a temporary mast that is supported by the car or 
near the car am I then portable?  Just making sure I use the right suffix 
for the right situation! Thanks!

If you're on CW and you sign NQ5T/M, you are non-compliant with 47CFR97. 
 Self-assigned indicators cannot duplicate ITU-assigned prefixes and 
all the M's belong to HM Queen Elizabeth [or somesuch].

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Software Request

[Don Wilhelm]

Larry,

I don't know what "configurations" you may need, but for the most part, 
once set up there is little need to go into the menu and make changes.
Several menu settings are per mode and others are per band.  All those 
are remembered internally and there is no need for a computer to change 
them - just operate.


If you are doing 'serious operating' while portable, such as contesting, 
then in all likelihood you would have a computer running in conjunction 
with the radio.

The 'setup' for SSB, Data modes, CW, AM and FM are already remembered by the
KX3.  In addition, you can use KX3 Utility to Save the KX3 Configuration to

KX3 Utility will restore your configuration easily.

[Elecraft] [OT] Mobile/Portable gray zone

[rick jones via Elecraft]

This is a very simple question concerning what is considered mobile or portable 
operation. If I am driving my car and communicating on any band I am obviously 
mobile. If I pull over and operate with my mobile setup I am still mobile? If I 
set up a temporary mast that is supported by the car or near the car am I then 
portable?  Just making sure I use the right suffix for the right situation! 
Thanks!

Re: [Elecraft] Remote Rig logging

[John Langdon]

Mike,

I use both LOGic9 and N1MM+ successfully via the USB connection to the K3/0 
mini, using USB at the PC end.  Have used it with both K3 and K3S at the remote 
site, and K3/0 and K3/0 mini at the control site. Make sure you have the latest 
firmware in the RRC at the control end.

When you hook up the USB on the RRC to your PC, you should hear the "BeeBoop" 
sound and then in windows device manager under the "Ports (COM & LPT) you 
should see something like:

RRC1258 COM0 (COM3)
RRC1258 COM1 (COM4)
RRC1258 COM2 (COM6)
RRC1258 COMExtra (COM5)

These should appear even if the rig is not connected or turned on, but there 
must be power to the K3/0 mini.

The left COM# on each line is the port referred to in the RRC documentation, he 
right one is the way windows has numbered it on your PC.

In my setup, COM4 is the K3 at 9600N1, and COM5 is the Winkeyer at 1200N2.

Subject: [Elecraft] Remote Rig logging

I'm in the process of setting up my K3/0 mini to access my remote K3 using 
Remote Rig 1258 MkII boxes.  Everything is working correctly on my LAN and also 
when using a Verizon connection for the control and my LAN for the remote.  My 
only problem is figuring out how to use a PC logging program on the control 
side of things.

According to instructions in the RemoteRig manual: "If you want to connect a 
logging or PC-control software to the system you can connect it to the 
Control-RRC COM1 via RS-232 or USB and configure both RRC:s COM1 to “Mode-7, 
CAT to COM2 (local)”.  I've tried that using an RS-232 to USB cable 
without success.

Has anyone done this successfully and what might I be missing???
