Re: [Elecraft] QUICK QUESTION

[Bill Frantz]

look for the SMA connector next to the BNC antenna connector. 
That will tell you if the KX3 has a 4M or 2M module. Opening it 
up is quite easy, as it is the way you change the internal 
batteries, so that works too. If the installer checked the 2M or 
4M box on the transverter, you get a clue as to which band was installed.

Yes, it will have an SMA connector for the 2 meter antenna out the same

Re: [Elecraft] quick question about antennas

[Bill Frantz]

When I wired an addition to our house some 40 or so years ago, 
one of my circuits from the service box started in Romex, 
converted to steel conduit, and then back to Romex. Since the 
grounding connections were properly bonded to each other, the 
building inspector in Los Gatos, CA approved it.


The principle reason for the grounding conductor (green wire) is 
to cause the circuit breaker to open if one of the hot wires 
shorts to the case of the electrical equipment. If the case just 
floated, it would be a shock hazard for anyone who touched it 
and also touched something that was grounded.

I don't know connectors by number, but what I would install is a 
standard outlet with two hots and ground that is slightly larger than an 
ordinary 120V outlet.  Or even two outlets in the same steel backbox, 
like a 120V duplex.

Ahh, I think that would work.  If the conduit works as ground (which I
think it does here) I could use the kind pictured in the link below, and
wire up a the power cable using the two hots and ground as you recommend:

[Elecraft] Quick question on HTs to use with my KX3

[Mark Tellez]

I know this question doesn't directly pertain to the KX3 but I trust the
guidance of many on this mailing list so I hope you will indulge me in this
off topic post.   I am looking to combine satellite (easy sats) with my
portable KX3 fun.   I am therefore wanting to solicit advice on the best
handheld radio for working satellites or at least directions to a similar
group or email list to get advice.

Thanks and have a great day!

Re: [Elecraft] Quick question on HTs to use with my KX3

[Barry Baines]

Mark:

A good starting point on operating hints for the “easy sats” can be found on 
the AMSAT Website.  

See:  http://www.amsat.org/?page_id=2144

This page is titled “Station and Operating Hints” and includes references to 
various HTs.  There is also a link embedded in that page that will bring up an 
operating guide developed by Patrick Stoddard, WD9EWK.  You’ll glean some 
useful information about using an HT with an external antenna of various types.

Most current generation HTs with dual-band capability can be used;  best is to 
have one with duplex capability so that you can listen to your downlink as you 
transmit. The Kenwood TH-D72A has this capability.  Patrick notes this in his 
writeup and mentions various HTs. Some older units are also very good;  my 
personal preference is the Yaesu FT-51R which is duplex but also features an 
external mic that displays frequencies with the ability to change stored 
channels or VFO frequencies using buttons on the mic.  

Check out the AMSAT website for developments regarding the upcoming launches of 
Fox-1A and Fox-1C which are FM birds flying later this year…

Are you coming to Dayton?  AMSAT will have a major presence at Hamvention, 
including satellite demos taking place outside of the Ball Arena. Stop by the 
AMSAT booth area (Ball Arena booths 433-435 and 444-446 across one another) for 
satellite pass times and take a look at the newly revised 2015 edition of 
“Getting Started with Amateur Satellites” which provides a complete overview of 
how to operate a variety of satellites along with discussion of tracking, 
equipment setup, operational considerations, etc.  The book will also be 
available through the AMSAT Store following Dayton.  The AMSAT Forum is 
Saturday from 1115-1330 in Forum Room 5.

The way the second part of the question is phrased it looks as if you are
asking if there is a memory that increments a counter per QSO, i.e. 599 001,
599 002, and so on. the K3 has indeed CW memories as others have said, but
they are static so the contents doesn't increment, at least not as far as I

Re: [Elecraft] Quick Question

It would be easiest to use one's skill and send this using a paddle.
Ideally the signal strength should be derived from the receiver's
S-meter. RST599 at my QTH is the very much the exception than the rule.

It should not be beyond the bounds of possibility these days,
electronically to compute Readability, Strength and Tone.  Maybe the K4
will do this ;-)

The K3 has two banks of 4 CW message memories each.  They are selectable 
with the M1-M4 buttons on the front panel.  Each will store 250 CW 
characters.  Touching the paddle will kill a message immediately.  You 
can set a memory to repeat [like for a CQ], sending anything with the 
paddle kills the repeat.  The memories are static, you can't 
auto-increment a serial number, however you can program the exchange up 
to the serial number in one memory, then send the number manually, and 
the rest of the exchange from another memory.  To the best of my 
knowledge, there is no control character you can put in your message to 
pause the message so you can insert the number and then continue.


On voice modes and if you have the KDVR3 module, they will store short 
messages which you can record directly from your normal mic.  People 
have told me that they can't tell if it's a canned message or me. :-)


With the DVR option, you can also record and play back from the 
receiver.  It's a 90 sec loop.  I've never used it.


I use N1MM and in SSB contests, I put K3 CAT commands in the N1MM macros 
that emulate tapping M1-M4.  Except for ARRL SS SSB, I usually just use 
it for CQ.  For SS, the exchange is fairly long so I have my precedence, 
call, check, and section in a memory, I give his call and my s/n and 
then hit Enter and the radio gives the rest of the exchange.


I don't use the K3 memories in CW contests, N1MM keys the radio with a 
WinKeyUSB.  If I'm chasing a DX station [CW or SSB], I put my call in M1 
so all I have to do is tape M1 to call.


You can also assign any of the Mx keys to K3 macros in addition to PF1 
and PF2, but doing so means you can't also use them as message memories.

Re: [Elecraft] Quick Question

[Dennis Moore]

Yes. Use the K3 Utility to edit the CW memories, assign them to the 
M1-M4 buttons. There  are more available than just that, but I only use 
the M1-M4.

Does the K3 have a CW keyer memory?  IE., can I program up a CQ TEST, in
one memory, then the 599 00X in the other?

Re: [Elecraft] Quick question K

[elecraft]

I got similar results into a high swr. If I try 100w into a 1.6:1 swr 6m 
antenna i get high current alarms and it shuts down at 92W. At 88W it is Ok 
and doesnt alarm. I took the cushcraft 5ele down (after 5 years) and re 
swr'd it to 1:1 and now I can run 100W without issue 

Normally i dont run into this issue as the kpa100 is bypassed on 6m as my 
solidstate pa only needs 5w for 450w output

 Getting ready for the contest.  When I transmit on 6 at 92 watts and SWR 
 of
 1.7, the power shuts down after 30 seconds of transmitting.  Re-transmitt
 and it's OK for another 30 seconds. ???

[Steve Ellington]

What mode? FSK? Is you power supply shutting down and not the K3? What's the 
Power supplies rating?

Phil,

You can also monitor the power supply
voltage with the K3.

Re: [Elecraft] Quick question K3

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

Tap DISP, then turn VFO B until you get the display with A to the
side.  What kind of current are you pulling with 92 watts into 1.7 SWR
when it shuts off?   Also turn VFO B until PA shows on the display,
what temperature are you getting when it shuts off?

73, Guy.

Re: [Elecraft] Quick Question for someone with their radio open

[Brett Howard]

Take that back... Looks like Mouser's website was lying that that was a
5mm diameter cap  Its actually 6.3mm which is going to be too big...

So I did a bit more digging and found:
http://mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?qs=sGAEpiMZZMsCnlYck6hSqLKeSeHnSOGyVYzpVBYnbJA%3d

Looks like this specific cap should fit the pads.  Providing the .208
measurement that I think I remember correctly isn't way off in left
field... :)

If someone could verify the dimensions of the plastic nugget on the
bottom is about .208 x .208 then I think I'll have to order me up a
few of these.  

~Brett

 I think this capacitor may fit into the C9 and C13 area next to the
 headphone.  This is an only 10V cap rather than the 25V cap that
 Elecraft has in there now.  But I think that should be plenty of
 derating for a 105mW power amp.  
 
 So if anyone has a pair of calipers and their radio open I'd be
 interested to see if we think this thing will fit.
 
 The bottom pad in the direction other than that with leads is ~5.3mm
 or .208 and in the direction of the leads its going to be ~5.5mm
 or .217 inches to the outside of the leads.  
 
 Would greatly appreciate if someone would confirm this for me.  I
 remember taking these measurements but didn't write them down.  I
 believe I'm remembering them correctly.  
 
 Anyone else have any thoughts on if 10V is going to be enough?  I
 figured 10V^2/16ohms is about 6.25 watts and being that the amp is
 designed to deliver 105mW to that 16ohm load that seems like it should
 be more than enough derating.  Any other thoughts?

[Elecraft] Quick question

[V Cortina]

Somewhat OT, but can someone email me off-list a few of my options for small 
paddles for my K1 field ops?  I believe there is something like White Rook, or 
some such?  Please don't tell me about handmade stuff.  I do not do well with 
small, home-made items.

Is the KX1 paddle a viable option?

Thanks much.
