Re: [Elecraft] Trying to get on FT-8 with my KX2

[Seb]

I suggest you take some time to read the WSJTX documentation: 
http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wsjtx-doc/wsjtx-main-1.7.0.html#INTRO 


Here is a snippet which describes the main reason you should be using rig 
control:

Split Operation: Significant advantages result from using Split mode (separate 
VFOs for Rx and Tx) if your radio supports it. If it does not, WSJT-X can 
emulate such behavior. Either method will result in a cleaner transmitted 
signal, by keeping the Tx audio always in the range 1500 to 2000 Hz so that 
audio harmonics cannot pass through the Tx sideband filter. Select Rig to use 
the radio’s Split mode, or Fake It to have WSJT-X adjust the VFO frequency as 
needed, when T/R switching occurs. Choose None if you do not wish to use split 
operation.
The frequency list is blank by default.  You need to first select your region 
in File, Settings, IARU Region.  That will populate the frequency list with 
suggested frequencies.  You are free to edit them as well.

I also was never able to get it to work reliably with LPBridge, but since I 
switched over to com0com along with Win4K3Suite it has been a pleasure to use.

[Elecraft] KAT500 Web Link Broken

[Seb]

The subject says it all.  The website links to an older version of the KAT500 
Utility, I was able to find the current one though.

Re: [Elecraft] [Moon-Net] Elecraft transverter

[Seb]

You should know that DEMI can install (and probably sell as a kit for you to 
install) the ApolLo synthesizer board inside of Elecraft transverters.  I asked 
Steve at DEMI some time ago if it would be possible, and he asked me to send 
him my XV222 transverter.  Within a few days, I received it back and is now 
connected and locked to my external 10 MHz reference source.

Mine was the guinea pig and Steve mentioned that he would document its 
installation.  Even with Elecraft’s TCXO, its frequency was not stable enough 
for meteor scatter use.
