That's worked for me twice in the last several years.  First answer will 
be "What?"  Just persist ... perhaps asking to speak to someone who 
knows what a Registered Agent for Service of Process is.  We had a 
problem in the ice maker of a new fridge, the warranty service company 
kept sending out a couple of early 20 somethings who spent all the time 
on the phone following instructions. When I finally called to ask for

The bulk of consumer electronics, like wi-fi routers, is covered under Part
15, and it is therefore the responsibility of the operator of the Part 15
gear to deal with interference issues, NOT a neighborhood ham. Hams are not
responsible for interference to Part 15 gear. In fact, Part 15 gear has the
following information on it, usually on a sticker (emphasis mine):

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
> the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful

Before you do that, call their Customer Service desk and say - word for

[Elecraft] Suggestion re dealing with Xfinity and similar

2021-10-20 Thread Steve Stutman
Hi,

When needing to get a result from anything publicly regulated, consider
using something other than the interwebs or 800 number.

K6MR points in the right direction.

Specifically:

Write a certified letter, return receipt requested, to the CEO or president
of the involved entity and cc: via the same method to head of your Public
Utilities Commission, or whatever you have in 6, as suggested by Ken.

State your case and surrounding events clearly, much as you have done here
on the list.

Point out that you are a licensed operator of a Federally licensed radio
station.

It may say Amateur, but it is still Federally regulated and you have rights.

You might state your degree of willingness to work with them to solve their
problems at no cost; I know of a couple of instances in which people were
intimidated and apologetically bent over backwards twice and of one case in
which the op told them to pound sand and threatened to identify their
technical incompetence to the media.

First two people got some results over the course of weeks, the third
person got action in two hours.

One presumes that there is some technical competence somewhere in the
company, but obviously not so with the representatives coming to your door.

If, in fact, your station is causing any issues, the most likely cause is
that they are using poorly designed, offshore manufactured equipment.

The various type acceptances on a lot of gear are printed on a label, but
not measured in a lab; hard to imagine.


When I get on 20m here my "smoke and monoxide" detectors sound off. One of
these days I'll run more than 100W, but one presumes it's just RF getting
into poorly shielded gear.

FWIW, these same detectors occasionally spontaneously sound off every year
or two at O dark.

Company has replaced six detectors three times; I wonder why?


Over the years I have sent certified letters to utilities to deal with
issues in a professional capacity as well as personally, i.e. stuff at the
house.

In most cases it will get you engaged with someone who is both
knowledgeable and in authority.

Certainly not someone who blames "an antenna" for second rate gear in a
poorly designed system.

Hope that you are able to get a good response and get your 'net back.

[Elecraft] Suggestion for ???

Ok.. this is brief, and to the point. 
There is, and has been a whole LOT of trouble shooting wisdom shared on this 
reflector. 
I'm not picking out any one person, but Don would be a great start, add in 
others too,
with a publication of all that is offered by Don, on a product. Then one would 
have at hand,
a rather easy to research and very rich source of information, germane to the 
issue at hand.

Troubleshooting for ....by Don - W3FP  with the XXXs being K3, K2, KX1, 
K1.. and so forth.

Just a thought... wonder how we could do that?

Re: [Elecraft] Suggestion for ???

2011-12-22 Thread Don Wilhelm
Dale,

Thank you for that vote of confidence.  I have made several attempts to 
create a book of K2 (K1 or KX1) troubleshooting that is more than what 
is in the Elecraft manuals.  I have failed due to the specifics of the 
possible failures.  I can relate a solution to a specific set of 
circumstances, but those circumstances are not universal, so the 
approach must address the problem while still holding the attention of 
the reader (who has only one specific problem).  I can write a book 
about how the K2 operates and what the common failures are, but there 
are a lot of subtle problems that can only be addressed by a one-on-one 
discussion of the conditions present in any one situation.

Perhaps someday I will create such a book, but in the meantime, please 
feel free to email me at d...@w3fpr.com for a one-on-one discussion of 
your problem and my analysis of your observed symptoms.

[Elecraft] Suggestion for K3 transmit audio improvement

2010-12-04 Thread Dean
My K3 (#3873) has better transmit and receive audio than my Mark V, which I 
thought was awesome. (Except the Mark V had a MUCH better internal speaker).

One disadvantage I have found with My K3 transmit audio is that you must choose 
between 2.7kHz or lower bandwidth or 3.3kHz bandwidth or higher.  I prefer to 
run about 2.9 - 3.0 for rag chewing.

When using non-ESSB mode, you are limited by the crystal filter, and when the 
ESSB mode is engaged, you can turn the menu bandwidth down to 3.0kHz but it is 
really about 3.3kHz wide on the transmitted signal.  This has been my 
experience on my K3 and watching other K3s on the air in the band scope.  

It seems like a fairly easy fix to adjust the ESSB menu alignment so we can 
really turn our bandwidth down to 3.0 or even a little less. This is my request 
to Elecraft.

Thanks!

Dean

Actually, I measure 3.0Khz transmitted bandwidth on 3.0 ESSB.  I'm not sure
at what level you're measuring the bandwidth.  In any event, a good
parametric equalizer would let you lock it down to 3.0Khz even if the tx
bandwidth was 3.3Khz

[Elecraft] Suggestion: Sell P3 matching enclosure

2010-06-03 Thread Andrew Moore
Elecrew: As you roll out new products in the K3 line (P3, amp, etc.), is
there any chance you'll offer a bare matching enclosure for sale separately,
as you do with the K1 and K2 product lines?

It could be the perfect size for a homebrewed matching power supply and/or
speaker, etc.

Re: [Elecraft] Suggestion: Sell P3 matching enclosure

2010-06-03 Thread Andrew Moore
 I know you have said there is adequate room in the P3 enclosure for a
homebrewed power supply

Something the supply inside P3 wouldn't accommodate is a forward-facing
speaker (in my case, the top-mounted speaker will be covered by a low shelf)

Re: [Elecraft] Suggestion

2009-02-02 Thread Adam Koczarski
 
 If you know what caused the problem, it's fairly simple to undo
 anything in
 the K3 (e.g. tapping METER while in CONFIG gives you the default
 setting for
 most parameters).  I believe the question was how to recover if you get
 yourself into an unknown state and don't know how you got there.  

I believe the original question was if you turn the wrong knob in the
CONFIG mode and change a setting when you meant to move to the next item in
the menu, is there an easy way to 'undo' the change you've just
inadvertently made. If you haven't tuned many settings, yes, just tap
METER and put it back to default. If you've made a recent backup, sure you
just restore the radio. IF it's an easy programming mod to store the
current state of a setting so an undo key could pop it back if you bumped
the wrong knob it might come in handy for someone. It's not a big deal,
just a suggestion.

Re: [Elecraft] Suggestion

2009-02-02 Thread Jeff Wandling W7BRS

Good point.  The Utility will let you snap a baseline of your rig 
settings, today.

What may be easier to use also is, upon finalizing your settings on the 
K3, you snap the baseline of the config via the Utility.

Time passes and you screw up your K3 config.. you get it out of wack and 
want to go back (or more important know exactly what you changed between 
then and now)..  I'd rather see the Utility give you a display or file of 
what the deltas are between the last known baseline and current.

No sense in sifting through two lists of all-config terms and look for the 
diffs.  Let the Utility do the 'diff -bu baseline current | less'

The Was/Is deltas on current-screwed-up K3 and last baseline of K3 may 
reveal just a very small handful of attributes (config settings) that are 
deviate.

This capability should be in the Utility, and it (as well as every other 
function in the Utility) should be a plugin so other ham radio 
controlling software can make use if it in their interfaces...  Just a pet 
peave of mine. No API to the Utility... snort huff puff grumble.



 It's probably a good idea for everyone to store a known good configuration
 every now and then...just in case.  If you ever need to do a full EE INIT
 (Page 61 of Revision D-1 Manual) reset, you'll be glad you did!

You'd be surprised how much trouble that little save button can cause

Re: [Elecraft] Suggestion

2009-02-01 Thread Richard Davis
...Ah   the [UNDO] button.  Such a simple elegant idea.  Where it is 
available I use it without any thinking, and with great relief.

Some developers of software for the MACINTOSH, where the 'undo' feature 
is explicitly defined and encouraged, say that fully 50% of total 
development effort of an application arises from the work required to 
implement the 'undo' feature.  At least, the early Macintosh desigh 
thinking included explicit provision for the undo capability.

I am constantly intrigued by the overwhelming disposition of software 
engineering to develop functionality without any thought to integrating 
a 'reverse' gear.  Everyone seems so focused on 'the way ahead', that 
being able to back up--go in reverse--is not considered.

In the earliest stages of system architecture design, if the 'undo' 
capability isn't explicitly emphasized, then the ability to evolve this 
is unknowingly sacrificed.   ...and it is a capability that can't be 
developed as a afterthought.

The second most intelligent creature on this planet could have been a 
serious competitor for humans were it not for two omissions in its early 
evolution, omissions that can't be added on after the fact.  The octopus 
doesn't have a a back bone (it is an invertebrate) and it has only a one 
year life span.

MORAL: No matter how hard you try you can't undo the omission of an undo 
capability.

There is an UNDO button of sorts.  It's called Restore K3 Configuration
From... in the K3 Utility Configuration Menu.  This presumes you stored the
default configuration and/or changes you've made.  Of course, if you try
this, you'll see it's not instantaneous by any means (several minutes to
Save or Restore).

Hi Eric and Wayne,

Since you asked, may I suggest something which may be silly.

We all know the VFO B knob changes the menu items and the main tuning knob 
does the changing within the menu.  I make the mistake all the time getting 
them reversed.. my problem which I can live with, but wonder if they can be 
reversed?  Am I the only K3 bloke who does this?

Thanks fellows.  With a suggestion like this it must mean all the important 
stuff is a done deal.

2009-01-30 Thread wayne burdick
Hi Lynn,

It helps to think of it in this way:

- the large knob on the left controls what's on the large display 
that's shifted to the left
- the small knob on the right controls what's on the small display 
that's shifted the right

To change it now would cause a huge amount of turmoil, discontent, 
documentation changes, and endless firmware revisions, so we simply 
can't do this. Making it a menu selection would be even worse.

We had a target size in mind for the K3, and I believe we've optimized 
the UI within those constraints. Any suggestions other than this will 
be entertained :)

That doesn't really help in this case, as the TX symbol is normally on

Perhaps the delta LED could blink too, when test mode is on ?

Look at the power meter. It won't show any power out if you are in test
mode. :)

I use test mode quite a bit when testing out software and the only issue I
have with it is forgetting to turn it off and then calling people and
wondering why they don't come back to me. I don't think Elecraft can be
expected to provide a solution to operator failure...

[Elecraft] Suggestion To Elecraft

2008-11-08 Thread -.-. --.-N3TU -.-. --.-

Can you make the TX symbol bigger when we take the radio off air to test
the audio? When the TX is blinking fast it's hard to see and I have to
look twice to see if I am not transmitting.

[Elecraft] Suggestion for K3 re Spot Tuning Operation

2008-02-24 Thread WB6MND

Here's another suggestion for the K3.
 
When using Spot on CW, the tuning appears to switch automatically to fine
from coarse mode.  That makes sense, at least temporarily.
 
But then it stays in fine mode, even if one started in coarse mode.
 
It would be better, I think, if it switched back automatically to coarse
mode after perhaps 6 seconds or so, if one started in coarse mode.
 
This would make it easier to tune around the band looking for stations,
check one station briefly, and move to check others.
 
I guess the ideal would be giving users a menu option whether they wanted to
stay in fine mode after using Spot (as it now is) or auto switch back to
coarse mode.
 
Thanks,
 
Les

Do you have a really old firmware version loaded?  The problem was fixed
I think) a LONG time ago...

If you are having this problem with a 'current' firmware release, then it's
been 'broken' as the result of recent 'fixes' to something else.

I used this feature several times yesterday on a known current version of
the firmware and every time I re returned to 'normal' (not coarse) mode
when CWT was completed.

[Elecraft] Suggestion

2007-04-28 Thread W2AGN
If I may dare to make a suggestion. There are going to be a LOT of questions. 
May I suggest a 'K3 FAQ on the web page with the most Frequently Asked 
(hence, FAQ ;-) on it? Save answering the same one here several times.

Joseph,

You may want to check out the N4PY software http://www.ralabs.com/n4py/.  It
does include a bandscan if you activate it.  Much less expensive than a
hardware bandscaning device.
