Re: [Elecraft] Kx3 and fldigi
Have you loaded KX3.xml needed for RigCat? Get it at <https://sourceforge.net/projects/fldigi/files/xmls/elecraft/KX3.xml/download>. Also read the notes at the top of the KX3.xml file.(Can be opened with a text editor.) You may also want to try to control via flrig. You will need to read the fldigi manual on how to set this up. Latest files for fldigi are at: <https://sourceforge.net/projects/fldigi/files/fldigi/> Latest files for flrig are at: <https://sourceforge.net/projects/fldigi/files/flrig/> Chose the appropriate file for your operating system. Manuals are available in the same directories. Mentor assistance is available on the following Yahoo groups: * linuxham - primarily for Linux and OS X users * NBEMSham - support for using the entire suite in an EMCOMM environment all operating systems * winfldigi - for users on Windows OS. Hope something here will help get you going. On 03/18/2016 09:43 PM, Stan wrote: > Anyone here tried rig control for the KX3 using fldigi and received a > init:_IO error message?

Re: [Elecraft] Unsoldering
I used solder pooling 40 years ago to remove round 10 lead IC's from the crowded Motorola HT-220's. Worked great with good technique. Technique was to dribble it on, until touching all leads, then dip iron in puddle, and quickly pull. Clean up was easy with a solder sucker. Chip-Quick is great, because it melts at a low temp. But be careful, if not careful, it can go 'everywhere'! Been there, done that! On 02/20/2016 11:50 AM, Wayne Burdick wrote: > I really should update the Desoldering Primer to mention Chip-Quik.

Re: [Elecraft] slightly OT -- acceptable network switch (aka Linksysproduces birdies)
The answer for me was shielded CAT 5. Different switches just produced noise at different places. Was also greatly affected by devices plugged in.

Re: [Elecraft] RF problem Serial to Serial cable with built-in chokes
You might want to try optical isolation instead.

(chokes built onto the serial cable similar to monitor cables) I've done some internet searches and haven't found any. I'm having problems with RF getting into my computer and locking it up. I'm suspecting the Serial to Serial cable between the CPU and the K3. I've tried different serial cables, different computers, tried snap on chokes from Radio Shack, tied all equipment into a common ground... all without any benefit. (my antennas have low SWR's and I don't use an Antenna Tuner). If a serial to serial cable with built-in chokes is unavailable, should I expect much better results from snap on Fair-Rite chokes over Radio Shack chokes?
