Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Controlled Envelope SSB

Hi Scott, 

This is possible, and it's already wish-listed. Our DSP resources are tied up 
at the moment.

[Elecraft] KX3 Controlled Envelope SSB

[Scott Zastoupil via Elecraft]

So I have to ask since I have not seen any activity since 2016.  Is it possible 
to have Elecraft provide a KX3 software update to implement CESSB to the KX3?
It would be nice to have the extra ~3dB to the rig for POTA activations.  I 
would imagine it would be a nice bullet to add to the marketing page.  I have 
had my rig since a few months after the rig was released and enjoy using it.  
It has mostly been used on CW.  But venturing into POTA, it would be nice to 
have everything I can get into once package for SSB contacts and less need for 
an amp.
So, Elecraft, if you're listening, here is a request for implementing the 
featurePlease!  :)

Scott, KX9RT

Re: [Elecraft] [Elecraft-K4] KPOD intermittent

[Doug Turnbull]

Jim,

 I have two K-Pods which are used with my K4Ds and previously K3s.
I too on occasion have trouble with the switches. I have noted that
rebooting the K4D will often cure the problem.Also I wonder if having
the switch react to both momentary tap and sustained push beyond a second
or two helps.For me the radios would not be the same nor nearly as
ergonomically friendly without the KPods and both of mine go back to the
beginning of the KPod era. I too would be interested in hearing more
but I will keep my KPods.

I really like the KPOD...when it works.



I find the buttons occasionally non responsive resulting in nothing being
sent. After a few taps it eventually works again for a while.



Of course this mostly occurs when trying to send a call in a pileup or a
reply 599TU.



Is this a button thing that needs replacing or something in the K4 being
non responsive?



I think it's the KPOD itself since it also happened on my old K3S.

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 - can't change antennas on 6 meters

[Dennis Moore]

I'd still suspect the config settings, this test just showed that the 
KAT-500 is doing well mechanically. The tuner is getting a signal from 
the K3 telling it what band you're on so appears to be limiting your 
options based on that band. You can repeat the mode/ant test with the 
radio off, you should get the same results as with the control cables 
disconnected.


In the utility, Edit Configuration, Antenna tab, go through each of the 
band settings and enable whatever antennas should be available on that 
band. If you've already done that and it still isn't working right, I 
don't know where to go next.

Thanks for the suggestion.  Good test.

It turns out that Yes, I can change antennas now on 50 MHz when I disconnect 
control cables.   H.

I reconnect the control cables, and the symptom of not being able to change to 
antennas other than antenna 3 on 50 MHz, returns.

So one conclusion: maybe not the KAT500 settings.

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 - can't change antennas on 6 meters

[Ted Edwards W3TB]

I had something similar on my KAT-500 where I could not get to antenna
connection 3.

What I did was to do the update of the software and then open it to
manually turn on antenna 3 and it was fine.

I have the cable if you need to do that.

[Elecraft] KAT500 - can't change antennas on 6 meters

[JK Hooper via Elecraft]

Hi all,  

Despite my making what-I-think are appropriate changes in the KAT500 utility 
(MacOS version), I am not able to switch antennas for 6 meters (50 MHz).   
KAT500 always stays on Antenna 3.  

My work-around solution has been to put my antenna w/ 50 MHz capability on 
Antenna 3.  

Any opinions on why my KAT500 is not responding to antenna changes, either from 
the front panel or from the KAT500 utility?  

I have restored factory defaults; no change.  I have restored from saved 
configuration file (which appears ok) and no change;  still on antenna 3.   

Configuration: K4D, KPA500, KAT500 with Elecraft interconnect cables.  

Thanks in advance,

73

[Elecraft] QST - My new book about CW and Morse Code

[Chris R. NW6V]

Greetings.

I'd a daily reader and occasional poster to the group - K#, KX3, KAT500,
and KPA500.

Forgive the commercial interruption, but I wanted to share that my book,
The CW Way of Life, is now available on Amazon. https://amzn.to/3ltqzBo

I announced it a couple of weeks back on the LICW and SKCC group site, and
the feedback from readers has been almost embarrassing. One fellow called
it a "modern-day seminal work on CW." Several said they wish they had it
when starting out. ALL have called it a good read.

Enjoy!

73 Chris NW6V
