[Elecraft] PIGREMOTE and other questions for the group

Hi to the group We are having our January thaw here in North Dakota and that gets me to thinking about another camping season. Technology changes every day and I am thinking of setting my home K3S to operate remotely from my camper. I would use a Verizon hot spot on each end to communicate as

Re: [Elecraft] PIGREMOTE and other questions for the group

Ken, I have and regularly use the PigRemote and associated software to remotely control my KX3 from the living room, automobile or whatever remote location I happen to visit. I use either my iPhone, iPad, Windows tablet or Mac mini as the remote device. The audio has been good and the data

[Elecraft] K3 - Adapter to plug cell phone mic into the K3

I have a microphone that fits in my Bose QC15 headsets and it works incredibly well with my cell phone. It's noise cancelling and everyone I talk with loves the sound quality over the cell phone mic. I would need a Y connector that has an output for the headphones on the K3 and a 2nd one

[Elecraft] K3 macro for Subrx antenna?

Does anyone know a way to program a K3 macro to set the Subreceiver antenna selectively to Main or Aux? Thanks & 73, Barry N1EU __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help:

Re: [Elecraft] K3 macro for Subrx antenna?

Barry, Yes, there is a command that will do exact what you want.   If you take a look at the Programmer's  Reference (which you can download on the Elecraft site), you will find the command on page 23 in Table 7.  The command is SWT25; Keep in mind this is a "toggle" command.  The command will

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - Adapter to plug cell phone mic into the K3

I have one that came with the Best Buy headset I use for SSB on the K3. It's a Y with a TRRS-F to 2 TRS-M. Search Amazon for "TRRS Adapter" and you will get lots of choices. Make sure you get the right genders on both ends. You will likely have to set bias and TX equalizer to make it sound

[Elecraft] K3S Speaker sound question

Is this normal for the K3S speaker to sounds like this? I've not had the radio long but not liking the buzzing in the speaker. I usually use my headset but since attending Morse Academy I've been using the speaker more. Thanks in advance.. The video is still rendering so it may not be immediately

Would you be buyers at $10,000, $12,000, $14,000? People that would buy right now, represent a very small market segment and Elecraft has already done their study on market segments and high power amplifiers. It is simple math W6AIM JIM Original message From:

Re: [Elecraft] RF Exposure Levels

Note that for those running 100 watts or less being only 5 feet (1.5 meters) from the antenna is fine anywhere below 21450 kHz. I have a 120 foot end fed "Inverted L" that terminates at the tuner on a shelf above the rig, about 5 feet from me. (I've always considered 100 watts out QRO, Hi).

[Elecraft] K3 Spur on 160??!!

After the CQWW 160 contest this past weekend, I checked my signals on the Reverse Beacon Network and it appeared that the AC0C skimmer (545 miles NW of me) was picking up a spur on 1855.7 kHz! This occurred only at the AC0C skimmer and did not show on any other skimmers and only when I was

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Spur on 160??!!

Mike, From my remote station which was operated by KY7M in the contest, I noticed the same thing from the AC0C RBN box. However, in this case the QRG of KY7M was 1.820.6 and the other recorded transmission by AC0C was 1.864.7, a 44.4 kHz difference. Your noted difference was 25.4 kHz.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 macro for Subrx antenna?

Thanks Dick but a switch toggle won't work - the result is indeterminate unless there's a way to reset to a known value first. Is there a key sequence that will place the subreceiver antenna selection in a known state? Barry N1EU On Tue, Feb 2, 2016 at 1:34 AM, RIchard Williams

[Elecraft] Noise from LEDs

My kitchen, under cabinet lights, are LEDs. With those lights turned on my noise floor changes from -128db to -102db. If the circuit is changed to a different phase the noise improves by 6db. All of this at 7mhz and other higher bands. Needless to say the AM broadcast band is highly affected

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Spur on 160??!!

Folks, this is an image in the radio, and has to do with where the center of the SDR range is set. It's a problem that any RBN node potentially has depending on their equipment. It's a known problem with simpler SDRs, or with a more expensive SDR with something on the fritz. Don't tear your K3

As Dave, NK7Z stated in part 2: "If I have a RF generating wall wart, it is best to remove it and replace it with one that does not generate RFI, not just put ferrite material on it." From this and your description, I would speculate the power supply is the guilty party that is creating the
