[Elecraft] [OT] Pignology and PackTenna Dayton Sale

Hello Everyone, Unfortunately I couldn't make it to Dayton this year but, following tradition, I have discounted the Pignology hardware products for the online shop. http://shop.pignology.net For PackTenna, George (KJ6VU), the other half (more like 9/10ths) of PackTenna will be there showing the

Re: [Elecraft] Announcing the KX2 80-10 m, SSB/CW/Data transceiver

I have been using a Begali Adventurer Mono on my KX2 SN 20 for several weeks now with no problem. The screws look short enough and are not anywhere close to the PCB. This morning (Friday) before the Dayton vendor displays opened, I had Wayne look at my paddle and he verified that the screws were

Well.. PTT is working fine as is the CODEC from radio to computer (in my case, WSJT). But for the life of me, I cannot get anything but digital noise from computer to radio. I'm not exactly a neophyte here but I cannot get this to work (and yes, I've selected the USB Speaker CODEC for driving

Thanks to everyone who responded. As I already had the USB Codecs installed for a Yaesu radio, I thought maybe there were different ones for the K3. I'll do some playing, thanks Ken At 06:19 PM 5/20/2016, Nr4c wrote: Well if you look at the sound devices you should see a USB CODEK as a

[Elecraft] K3, noise from com cable on SSB?

I think I discovered something. Playing with audio levels on the computer, I think I have this background tone and pulsing coming from the com port down to acceptable levels. I cranked the audio way up in Windows (was at a "2") and it seems to nearly completely mask this interference/feedback

[Elecraft] K3, noise from com cable on SSB?

A new to me low SN# K3..no problems on CW. Noise blanker now works! I "think" all the SSB settings are ok. I run SO2R with a YCCC SO2R+ box, so audio gets routed through a laptop, then out to the so2r box, then to one of 2 rigs. When on SSB I hear a moderately loud feedback-ISB noise w/

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 with KX3

This looks like a nice pieces of software, but it is only needed if you're feeding the KAT500 less than 10-20W (that is, KX3 barefoot). The KAT500 senses operating frequency from RF, but it needs about that level to do so. Another good reason for using this band decoder is to automatically

Re: [Elecraft] Announcing the KX2 80-10 m, SSB/CW/Data transceiver

Just an observation on the KX2 vs KX3: Elecraft is still making KX3's so I'm guessing they do not see the KX2 as replacing the KX3, but more of augmenting the product line. Therefore, I do not expect a migration by a significant number of KX3 owners as was seen with the K3s from the K3. BTW

Re: [Elecraft] KXPD3 long screw...

You can accomplish this by using a combo crimp and machine screw cutoff tool. They are very common to find in Hardware stores and at NAPA. You thread the machine screw into the tapped hole in the tool to the point you want cut off and squeeze the tool (takes both hands for me) to cut off the

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Trans gain calibration issue

Mike, I don't have a KX3, but the first thing I would do in this case is measure the voltage from the batteries when transmitting. Maybe the voltage is dropping severely enough to cause a problem. 73, Vic, 4X6GP/K2VCO Rehovot, Israel http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ On 20 May 2016 21:15, Mike Weir

Re: [Elecraft] KXPD3 long screw...

It helps to thread a nut onto a screw before you cut the end off. When you are done cutting and filing, removing the nut acts to "chase" the threads and clean them up a little. Eric KE6US On 5/20/2016 5:53 AM, Tom Crayner wrote: I found a good pair of side-cutters with a quick filing and I

[Elecraft] KX3 Trans gain calibration issue

I took my KX3 out on the trail today and for the first time ever I got ERR TXG and D=114? I looked things up on my Iphone and seemed it needed a TX gain calibration. It never has done this in the past but I figured maybe because I loaded on the new firmware that gives me more Transmit power. I
