Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 - does it earth antenna connections

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Or connect a dummy load via a power meter (Bird 43) to antenna 1, so you can 
check power output against a third party meter.

[Elecraft] KAT500 - does it earth antenna connections

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Sorry if this is obvious, but I haven’t bought a KAT500 yet (to go with the 
KPA500 I managed to pick up from a fellow ham). I’m aware there are 4 
selectable antenna connectors. Does it ground or earth the ones not currently 
selected?

No one seams to have mentioned that there is a small difference in diameter

However, I believe the socket on the K3 is a 3.5mm one, so that should not have

Re: [Elecraft] KIOB3B for K3

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Hi Bill, yes, it’s one of the first 200 that people pre-ordered and waited 
nearly a year for, then built themselves (I liked Elecraft, but must say I 
thought the K2 a little long in the tooth, I was about to buy an FT-2000 - had 
the money and everything, then Elecraft announced the K3 - well I can tell you, 
it didn’t take more than 5 mins to get an order off). Never regretted it and 
love the Elecraft company and service AND the community. Have a P3 (again 
preorder) and lots of other products.

I have no problem inside the rig etc (it’s quite packed in there now), just 
haven’t upgraded the firmware for a while. I think I’ll be fine - just waiting 
for the weather to change - it’s a ‘wet day’ type thing.

Thanks for replying and the ‘good luck’.

Yes, I’d like to know to and the source of the cable trays.
It’s very neat and professional.

Mind you, it seems to me, that lots of cool stuff is not available from UK 
suppliers :-(

This story concerns four people – Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody 
would do it.
Anybody could have done it but in the end Nobody did it.
Everybody got very angry over this because it really was Somebody’s job.
Everybody thought Somebody would do it, but Nobody realised that Anybody 
wouldn’t do it
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when actually Nobody had asked 
Anybody.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Utility vs macOS Catalina

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Sorry, if someone mentioned this, but the original KUSB uses a Prolific chipset.
That’s always been temperamental. Plugable.com have drivers for 10.15.3 but you 
have to buy them and I haven’t tried them.

Re: [Elecraft] KIO3BUPKT_KIO3B Upgrade Kit for K3

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Brilliant, Thank you Don.
Just ordered one. I was a bit concerned that I wouldn’t be able to get one now 
and having not used the K3 in the shack for a bit, but performed an upgrade on 
my Mac OS, knew I would have trouble with my original KUSB, so wanted to switch 
to a USB interface.
Happy Days…

Re: [Elecraft] XV Transverter: what can it do?

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Not true Jim, a XV144 & 432 + a modified XV50 (to 70) lets me use the K3 for 
those bands and it’s a darn site better than a number of other commercial rigs 
on those bands.
Plus with limited shack space, it’s all in one rig.

Re: [Elecraft] will utility programs run on Apple Ipad os ?

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Bill, USB is possible, if you buy the Apple adapters - you need the lighting to 
the old style (30 pin) connector and then the SD card reader, which comes with 
a USB adapter, which both have 30 pin connectors.

It is (or was) then possible to run some apps to control rigs, but I don’t know 
if a Elecraft compatible protocol is available.

[Elecraft] Another W2 question - 13.6v DC on coax

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Hi again, if I were to feed 13.6v DC on my coax via a bias-tee would that 
affect a DC-V/U-200 sensor? 
The preamp at the top of the mast will take the DC off, but I’d prefer to put 
the sensor before the preamp if possible.

Re: [Elecraft] Power Pole connectors

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

PowerPoles are not fragile, when correctly assembled/soldered. I think there is 
an issue, either with your assembly to the lead or possibly with the units 
mounted on the PCB in the K3 (it has been known to be in the K3).

Although I crimp all mine (well worth getting the West Mountain Radio Deluxe 
crimp tool if your going to use a lot of APPs) I have to use a reasonable force 
to separate them. At least as much as you'd use to separate a molex (ignoring 
the clips of course). They will not separate by accident. The main issue with 
soldering is solder running out the 'pot' onto the blade and preventing a good 
wipe-fit when plugged together.

You can take the contact out of the housing to check it, but it requires a bit 
of care. You need a very small screwdriver (watch-makers), insert it under the 
blade at the front and lift, so the blade comes clear of the spring steel that 
is under the blade. Then pull the lead from the back and it should come apart 
with minor force.
See 
http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Public%20Service/TrainingModules/Technical/Anderson%20powerpole.pdf
 for instructions and good pics.

There is a tool available to do this (see Quicksilver Radio - 
http://qsradio.com/Powerpole%20Insertion%20Tool.jpg).

 Hi list,
 
 I've noticed that almost every time I move my K3, it powers down.  I

 and I'm pretty good with a soldering iron.  It seems to be plugged in
 and fully seated.  But why is it so fragile?  I used the powerpole
 connectors and contacts that came with my K3 kit.
 
 Has anyone else notice this phenomenon?  Any advice?

[Elecraft] OT: Emergency Comms.

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Please forgive this off-topic post - I’m hoping some of your can provide some 
info.
I’m about to take part in an International camp for Guides and Scouts in the 
UK, we will have 7000+ participants from all over the world. My bit is try to 
present emergency radio communications to groups that will visit our special 
event station (GB4WGS) throughout the week - by the end of 5 days, we should 
have been able to talk to all 7000!

I and a number of other amateurs want to get across to these youngster that 
mobile phones etc. aren’t always the means of communicating and to explain how 
valuable amateur radio is when you need it.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Powerpole Replacement

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Hi Jeff, I can see others have said the same thing, but I'll add my 2p worth - 
it's your APP assembly that is the problem. Not likely to be the K3 end (but 
possible), it's the cable end and there is one major cause: 

The contacts have not been pushed completely home during assembly. 

If the contacts have been soldered, it's possible the solder has spread across 
the contact in such a way as to prevent the contact being pushed completely 
home.

Never had a problem with the cable pulling out of the K3s APPs and not had to 
secure it in any way.

I have been using APPs for ALL my 12v gear for  6 years now, with no problems 
at all - all contacts are crimped, not soldered (once you've decided to go the 
APP route, buy a really good crimp tool). I replaced the intermittent molex 
connector on my FT-857 with APPs and stopped all the problems with the rig 
cutting out use. That rig was moved from a base rig to a portable rig and back 
again every week and I've never had a problem with the APPs.

 Why do I want to replace them you ask?
 Well, because my K3 gets around and more often than not sits on a wobbly 
 table whilst I'm out in the scrub or occasionally even sits in my lap whilst 
 I'm operating.
 The powerpoles has once again raised their ugly heads and keep disconnecting 
 or not making proper contact and I'm fed up with them.
 I just want a connector that I can plug in and it will stay there, sadly that 
 has not been the case with either genuine Anderson powerpoles or all the 
 different brands of knock-offs.

In fact, may be better than crimp, since I'm not convinced crimp fittings are 
waterproof.
Either way, always tape an external connection.

 Best of all is to avoid that design of connector completely, and change
 to modern designs that don't require  heavy soldering. Even if you're

 pressure-sleeve type which has vastly improved cable retention.

Re: [Elecraft] Power for P3.

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

You could build a relay box, fed from the Aux out and feed the PR6  the P3 
from that, the power for the relay box would need to come from the same PSU 
that is powering the K3 or a different PSU - but turning the K3 on would power 
up the other units

 I am using PR6 with my K3 and power for it is supplied via the RCA 12 VDC out

 Where may I supply the P3 power from the K3?  Do I need another power supply 
 for the P3?
 Thanks

 Ray,
 
 Tks again for the idea. I now have the batch files set up to switch
 the K3's ANT every hour, half-hour or 15 mts while WSPR is running.;
 no other software needed.
 
 My only question is: what happens if the K3 receives a serial command
 to switch ANT while it is transmitting? I assume the command will just
 be ignored, but would like to know for sure...

Re: [Elecraft] OT: 2m beam orientation

Look at Backblaze for secure off-site backup - http://www.backblaze.com
This allows you to create an encryption phrase that only you know (they do not

 The new P3 firmware has added some new items to the P3 menu and SVGA sub

 required.
 
 I slipped a thumb drive into the Keyboard socket on the SVGA board and then
 located some new items on the SVGA sub menu of the P3. By pressing the
 Select knob for the menu item SVGA Ubmp it loaded a bitmap image of the
 SVGA
 screen onto the thumb drive. It included decoded text that I had at the
 bottom of the screen. The image size was 1282KB for my 1280 x 1024 monitor
 setting.
 
 You might want to attach a pull string to your thumb drive. It's close
 proximity to the SVGA connector and the serial connector made it tough to
 get a good grip for thumb drive extraction.
