[Elecraft] Noisy polling

2005-02-18 Thread Bob Whelan
Chris It is some sort of earth loop - I can't be more specific since it depends on your installation. I have heard the same when I put my headphone switcher in the same box as the controller I use for copying freq/mode between the two K2s here. I found mine by systematically disconnecting the

I got rid of the computer polling noise on both of my K2/100's by removing the right side panel and tucking the ribbon cable up as high as possible - away from the main board. Not that I would recommend doing it the way that I did it (with the power on and CTWin up and running), but I could hear

Hank and all, I've had the same polling noise and the S meter would flicker with each poll when using any logging program, not loud but still there. Now, you suggestion worked like a champ, just tucked the ribbon up out of the way and no more nothing! I wonder if there's a more elegant fix

What could be more elegant than a neatly folded cable? G This discussion does re-inforce my opinion that anytime the KPA100 is installed, the right side panel be removed so the cables can be dressed properly and not interfere with the shield plate or the clips. It is also easier to

Congrats Mike! Be careful. KX1's are highly addictive. FWIW: I purchased #897, at Pacificon in Oct 04. My HP48GX tells me elecraft is delivering about 34.5 KX1's/month. 73, Fred K6DGW Auburn CA CM98lw Mike Sexsmith wrote: Hello all, Seems like many folks post to this mailing list

Well, I received my 5 volt calibration standard from Joe Geller at gellerlabs.com today. I upgraded to the KQ chip. The papers with it shows that it is calibrated to +/- 10 microvolts. On a 5 volt scale, that is +/- 2ppm. The initial calibration is then +/- 0.0002%! I connected it to my

A couple of general questions to the reflector regarding voltage meter calibration: 1) if the meter is spot-on on one scale, can one assume it is so on all scales (or all autoranges)? I suspect the answer is no, but am surely willing to hear the word of those who know. 2) if the meter
