Re: [Elecraft] height of k4 with legs extended

[Wayne Burdick]

On a related note: Because the K4 has a touch screen, desktop usability is 
greatly enhanced by having the screen tilted away from you. The tilt stand 
should be used unless the radio is elevated.

I've done the same. I'm using variations with a vertical post that 
clamps to a desk or tabletop, with swing arms as you describe, and also 
with a fitting without the arm that allows adjustment of height and 
rotation in both horizontal and vertical plane. 3-4 years ago, I found a 
couple of Samsung models that could accept the standard VESA mount, 
designed for 14VDC, and that run just fine from the 12V system in my 
shack (so I could dump their noisy SMPS wall warts). Those models are 
long discontinued, and most current models run on higher voltages.

Re: [Elecraft] height of k4 with legs extended

[Dick Dievendorff]

I have my monitor on a little 3” shelf, and it’s straight ahead. It’s a 34” 
monitor, wide enough that the K3 is way off to the side.  I’m using Costco shoe 
racks currently and everything is off to the side of the monitor.  But I’m 
thinking of station rework while “staying safe at home”…

 

I’m using a K-Pod for VFO tuning and mostly use a logging program for big 
excursions.

Hi  Dick

   Thanks I will probably move my monitor  to slightly above 7 inches.

At present it is a little bit too high over my k3.The monitor bottom is 9.5 
inches up from the table that the k3 sits upon.

I do not like looking up.

I am going to ponder this a bit

I'd allow a little extra room for airflow (and my measurement accuracy).  I

KPA1500 air comes out the top and bottom edge, and an inch of free airflow
space is required above the amp. I wouldn't expect the K4 to require any
more than that inch of airflow space.

Re: [Elecraft] height of k4 with legs extended

[kevinr]

Hello Richard,

   I found the monitors on my desk took up too much space.  So I found 
a couple swing arm, wall mounted devices to hold them.  Now I can move 
them out of the way to access the computer and move them up and down 
during the day to change my neck angle.  Bifocals insist on certain 
angles and certain heights.  These mounts let me move the displays back 
and forth by about a foot and up and down by the same amount.  You can 
rotate them if you like but I've never found a use for that.  Some folks 
do like portrait as compared to landscape layouts but not me.


   Good luck,

  Kevin.  KD5ONS

Re: [Elecraft] height of k4 with legs extended

[Eric Norris]

I suggest you plan on having the K4 bail extended--in my station, the
KPA1500 blows hot exhaust air into my face without the bail extended, and
you will surely want a matching KPA1500 for your K4.  :-)  Of course, this
could be an artifact of my chair height, my height, and distance from
KPA1500.  YMMV.

I have been using aids for over a decade.  The L side needs one sort of
equalization, the R side does not.  Any competent audiologist can adjust
an aid to be flat.  Several times I have gone without the R side aid,
and I could not tell the difference.

If you want to consider aids, go to Costco. They sell very good stuff at 
half the price of audiologists, they have first rate test equipment to 
check hearing and to adjust aids to fit individual needs. My XYL has 
aids from them; I sat in while they counseled her and adjusted her aids.


In my professional life designing large sound systems, I had to learn a 
lot about the mechanisms of our hearing system and hearing loss, and I 
regularly used test equipment to adjust large sound systems. It is from 
this background that I can attest to the quality of Costco's 
performance. I was first pointed to them by W6OAT, who has worn aids for 
many years. I know other hams who have bought aids from them.


When you talk to them, make sure they understand that you work with 
earphones -- that will influence which of several types of aids will 
work best for you.

Mike

Thanks.  That helps me too.   

I observe that the spec sheet of the K4 reports height of 4.5 inches, but I 
don’t think that includes the small feet.I’m pretty sure the K4 is higher 
than 4.5 inches.  So maybe the K4, including small feet, is 5 inches tall 
without bale.

Re: [Elecraft] Headphones

[Ken Widelitz]

Jim and Eric - Great suggestions!

If the feature is added to the K3/K4 to adjust EQ by ear, the AF should be
able to be adjusted by ear also. Maybe a menu item that lets you select
which ear gets some additional DBs.

Using the Heil PRAS in my left ear only, I adjust the volume until my
preferred CW tone frequency is centered in my head. I have always been very
careful about headphone volume. My hearing loss was caused by a virus, so
my being careful didn't save my hearing. Now, I'm sure my left ear volume
is at a dangerously high level, but I'm already mostly deaf in my left ear,
so I'm not concerned about it.

Re: [Elecraft] Headphones

[Erik B]

I second the suggestion that RX EQ be separate for left and right sides.
Almost a year ago I was diagnosed with a severe hearing problem on the L ear
only, where some high freqencies are exaggerated but the normal speech
frequency range is severely attenuated. When people speak into my L ear, I
typically can't understand what they say, even if the volume is fine. I am
so far resisting hearing aids, as my R side hearing is fine. I am thinking
about ditching my SO2R setup, at least for voice purposes. Now, if only the
new separate L and R EQ would become available also for the K3.

Erik K7TV

Very interesting, Ken. Differing hearing loss between ears is quite common,
which suggests that it could be useful for the new K4 to incorporate the
ability to EQ left and right headphone channels separately! I've often
recommended to ham friends with hearing loss to use the K3/K3S/KX2/KX3 to
compensate by massive cut of low audio frequencies and massive boost the the
top bands, and guys have told me that it helps a lot.

Re: [Elecraft] Earpads Shedding

[JR]

Very low cost replacement ear pads are available for most f headphones 
on eBay and ... um ... amazon  (although I never shop on amazon.)    If 
pads your model is not specifically identified, you can usually find a 
suitable replacement based on its dimensions, typically measured in 
mm.   Ear pads get "flaky" and soiled over time.   If you cannot clean 
them (for example, many foam or velour pads can be cleaned and 
sanitized) you can replace them for (usually) less than $10.   Like 
tires and window wipers on a car, ear pads get flaky and dirty and old 
and ... replacement is a piece of cake at low cost.   I particularly 
like the extra thick, very soft, pliable memory foam pads that cost 
between $9 and $15 - which can be purchased by the mm diameter to fit 
nearly any circular earphone receiver.  Very luxurious.   No big deal, 
this is a very routine matter these days.


Just MY take.   K8JHR

[Elecraft] Yamaha cm500 NIB for sale

[Alan Geller via Elecraft]

These are NIB without the box but with the box label and the unused cable 
adapters in a plastic bag. Not long
after I bought them, I went to a Pacificon conference and negotiated a full 
RS60 set for my K3 and have been very happy ever since.

$45 plus $10 toward the medium size Priority Mail Box.

Re: [Elecraft] Headphones

[Steve Lawrence via Elecraft]

Comfort is just one consideration. If you use Bose QC35s with Bluetooth there 
is a delay that increases over time. No problem listening to music. But if you 
watch TV the delay becomes intolerable. 

For BT use to watch TV you want a set using the Qualcomm APTX LL (low latency) 
codec.

The Bose 700s don't use the APTX codec yet they don't have the delay of the 
35s. So there's likely more than one LL codec.

Delay is not an issue when using a cord vs BT.

Very interesting, Ken. Differing hearing loss between ears is quite 
common, which suggests that it could be useful for the new K4 to

Re: [Elecraft] CM500 headset on K3S and KX3?

[Bill Frantz]

I normally use a CM500.

OK, the RS60CF is a Radio Sport head set. :-)

I used one of their headsets during our club's CQP county 
expedition. I liked the isolation from ambient room noise. Yes, 
it squeezes your head, but I could wear it for several hours at 
a time without feeling I was getting close to the end of my tolerence.


I didn't use VOX at home in CA because my radio was set up in 
the family room with 20+ feet of space between the backs of the 
equipment and the front door. (Nice for moving wires.) My wife 
frequently would walk up to the radio and ask a question and I 
didn't want the answer going out on the air. :-)


I did use VOX when I did a multi-op WPX contest at K9YC's QTH. 
In that isolated environment it was more convenient than my 
footswitch at home. Doing the contest was also a whole lot of 
fun, and watching the other ops was a excellent learning experience.


What I'll end up doing here in NH is still up in the air.

Re: [Elecraft] CM500 headset on K3S and KX3?

[Edward R Cole]

A couple years ago I bought the CM500 based on al the nice comments 
by others on this list.  They failed me terribly; set up howling like 
a banshee minute I put them on (over my hearing aids) and not even 
connected to the radio.  My hearing so poor that the amount of gain 
in my hearing aids fed back inside the acoustics of the 
ear-piece.  No amount of fiddling with the headset stopped the 
feedback, so went back to wearing my Sony MDR-V600 stereo headset 
(which work well with my hearing aids).  One if you bought the new 
CM500 from me for a nice discount, so I didn't loose out completely.


I got a lot of advice back then which did not help/fix the problem 
(not wearing the hearing aids and turning up radio volume was one).


In stead, I found a boom mic that attached to my Sony headset via an 
earth magnet "thingy" and that got FB audio reports.  The mic has a 
foam wind-blast reducer and selectable omni or cardiod pattern pick 
up.  Haven't really used the combo as I normally use my  Heil desk 
mic in the shack.  The boom mic was obtained for operating portable outdoors.

Re: [Elecraft] Headphones

[Ken Widelitz]

I recently received the Bose Quiet Comfort II headphones as a gift. I used
them on my next flights to PEI for airplane noise reduction and it works
well for that. They were so comfortable that I used them in the contest
when I arrived in PEI. I now prefer the Bose headphones over earbuds which
I have used for 30 years because I hated over the ear cans as they hurt my
head and made my ears hot (and I tried a number of headphones.) I don't
turn on the noise reduction in PEI, but I do at home as the shack is
noisier at the home QTH. You can keep them plugged in to a USB port, so the
batteries don't run out. I have always used a boom mic so the headphones
are not an issue for SSB.

As long as I am touting products, I have the Heil PRAS in both my shacks. I
built a breakout box so it only is used on my mostly deaf left ear. The
PRAS works so well that I actually forget I have a hearing deficit while
doing SO2R. I have a hearing aid for my left ear, but it doesn't improve
intelligibility at all. The PARS unit improves intelligibility amazingly
well.

The proper thing to do is replace Q19 with a J310 FET that is better. Order one 
from Elecraft (email to supp...@elecraft.com) with the part number.

What you can try is to add a small value capacitor (12 or 15pF) from U4 pin 1 
to U4 pin 12 (ground) to see if that restores proper function.  If you do not 
have a stock of small capacitors, use the 12pF in the K2 kit which you have not 
yet installed and order a replacement from Elecraft.

Proper functioning thru-hole J310s have been a problem since Elecraft ran out 
of the old ones and found that they had been discontinued by the manufacturer.

I know of one ham in Europe who used an SMD J310 as a replacement - but if you 
consider that, know that the basing is not the same and you would have to go 
from the data sheet to know which pin to connect to the holes.  He mounted it 
on the bottom of the board.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft K2 7855, alignment and test part II, bad PLL frequency.

[Christophe GIBERT]

Hey ! I’ve soldered a 20pF capacitor that i’d from personal stock between U4 
pin 1 and U4 pin 12 (ground), and all is good ! 

I can go to BFO Test without  any problem !

Does this mod could be considered as definitive or should I change Q19 with 
another J310 ?

Thanks a lot for the super hyper quick help! :-)

Best regards.

Re: [Elecraft] Headphones

[rich hurd WC3T]

The Sony MDR-V6's - the digital version of the 7506 - can be seen in movies
quite a bit...   "Whistler"  (David Strathairn) wears them in the movie
"Sneakers" and "Seaman Jones" (Courtney Vance) wears them in "The Hunt for
Red October."I've also seen the musicians in Postmodern Jukebox wearing
them in some of the YT videos.   :)

Correct!

Up to a certain limit, the output power increases with PA current
quadratically. So the maximum dissipation may be below the max power, and
decreasing power does not reduce dissipation much.

Assume that at 600W KPA500 operates at 60% efficiency. 1000W total, 400W
dissipation.
Now reduced the power to 1/4 or 150W. The input current is reduced 50% to
500W. The dissipation is 350W, not much below 400W at full power. With
KAP500, the dissipation at low power can actually get worse than predicted
since the power supply is unregulated and has higher voltage at lower
current.

Reduction of dissipation at low power can be done at least 2 ways. One is
reduction of voltage as done in SPE amps. The other one is changing the the
transformation ratio of output amp, e.g., in KX3; hard to do at high power.

One can have the action of a different transformation ratio with a manual
tuner. Once my 20A power supply died but I had a 5A supply available. But
the max power was only 5W before the power supply switched off. 1/4 curent =
1/16 power. By adjusting a manual tuner for max output I got 20W. But KPA
may not let this trick go because of SWR. protection.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 Remote Software will not pin to STARTUP list

Many thanks for your help.   That worked perfectly!  KAP remote just
started when I rebooted using access via ANYDESK
I appreciate you taking the time to clarify for me.  At first I couldn't
find the STARUP folder as it was hidden in AppData which I could not
see .  Discovered how to make it visible and went from there.  Thanks again!

Subject: [Elecraft] KPA500 Remote Software will not pin to STARTUP list

After a failed attempt to operate my remote KPA500 using a STARTECH serial
server I have reverted back to a PC at the site.  To streamline operations I
want the KPA remote software to start up when the PC is remotely booted. 
Right clicking and selecting Pin to Start does not work.  It does not appear
in the list of STARTUP programs.  KAT500 works Ok in STARTUP but not the
KPA500.

Does anyone know why?...or is there something else I need to do.  The PC
runs Win 7

I recall reading that navy sparkies used ladies' falsies as nice soft, 
scented pads.
