[Elecraft] Remote operation flexibility

I am operating my K-3/100, KPA-500, and KAT500 successfully using a K3/0 at my residence with RemoteRig. I’ve been asked to setup a station in a Public Library MakerSpace. The problem is the antenna and feed line. To keep the cost low, I am hoping to be able to use a PC Laptop

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

Good Evening, The sun has been active for the last week sending a steady hiss of ions. QSB gives an interesting warble to CW communications while the aurora makes it sound like you're in a large pool of water. Picking DX out of this mix is always fun. For some reason it is getting

Re: [Elecraft] Magnetic Loop Antenna Question

Hi Terry - I have two loops: the MFJ 1788 (40-15 meters) and the Ciro Mazzoni Midi loop (80-20 meters). I use the MFJ portable, on a MFJ tripod, and it works well, but better to answer someone's CQ than trying to call. The downside is it is limited to places you can drive up to - it is pretty

[Elecraft] KX2 Vox/PTT Precedence

Just got a KX2 last week and so far I'm loving it! It's a technological marvel! I did notice one small thing that irks me though. That is, if I use vox to transmit (I have the vox delay set to 0.5s) and find I want to end the transmission quickly by pressing the manual XMIT button on the rig,

Re: [Elecraft] Fldigi Mac no TX Audio

Tim, Do you have *anything* plugged into the LINE IN jack on the K3S? If so, that overrides audio from the internal CODEC. I don't know Apple, but I do know the K3. Go to your computer's soundcard gain and set the slider for the soundcard output to about 2/3 of maximum. THEN - during the

[Elecraft] KX3 internal keyer speed limit

I'm curious - why is the upper limit 50 WPM? Not that I could manually send anywhere near this, but shouldn't the KX3 be able to send a pre-recorded message much faster? Jeff - KG7HDZ __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Low Output on 15

My 2014 purchased K3 is 20-25 watts low on 14mhz but all other bands are good. just haven't worried about it as I normally use 50 watts or less to drive an amplifier. I'll look into it after ARRL DX CW in February, so long as it doesn't get worse. 73, Will, wj9b CWops #1085 CWA Advisor

[Elecraft] Fldigi Mac no TX Audio

Fellow Elecrafters, I am trying to do some Digital modes but using the computer/Software I am running a MacMini, with K3-S. Software is a Fldigi (3.23-13 latest as of today). Wiring - 1 USB cable from K3-S to MacMini. I am using the RIGCat interface. Configure->Sound Card ->

[Elecraft] K3 Low Output on 15

The output of my K3 (SN 4657) has suddenly dropped 10-15 W on 15 meters, from about 100 W to 85-90. The other bands haven't changed, nor has the supply voltage (13.6 V at full power). Restoring to a previous configuration does not help. I had a similar problem early on, also on 15, and had

Re: [Elecraft] Magnetic Loop Antenna Question

Try muffler repair shops. I think most new ones get the pipe pre-formed from the suppliers, but an older one might have the equipment to do it. Or, make it octagonal with soldered fittings, there really is no discernible difference. An 18 ft circumference loop with 1" copper pipe will be

Re: [Elecraft] Magnetic Loop Antenna Question

Sorry, this ended up being quite long winded! I'm currently building one from a Russian Vacuum Variable Cap from ebay. Pure DC resistance is the biggest challenge as I see it. Even little additional resistance just turns into useless heat in the loop so R needs to be as low as possible. The MFJ

[Elecraft] TX audio via N1MM+

Is there a template for configuring N1MM+ to use with a K3s so that I can record TX audio on the fly using the Function keys? Asking for a friend as I don't (yet) own a K3s, but I know his has direct USB connection to the PC so I'm not sure where to start in configuring N1MM+ and the K3s.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S USB driver problem

I can't "advise what you're doing wrong," but ... Has Windows assigned two USB connections to the same COM port? You can tell in device mangler. That's happened to me and I've had to go in and change one of the ports to an unused one. This never happened to me under XP. Apparently,

Re: [Elecraft] Magnetic Loop Antenna Question

All the antennas you say you use are E-field antennas, they couple to the E-component of the EM wave [which includes your horizontal loop]. Mag loops couple to the H-component. Away from the antenna [far-field], the EM-wave has both E and H components orthogonal to each other, and it doesn't

[Elecraft] Magnetic Loop Antenna Question

Hello Group, I am looking for some feedback from those using magnetic loop antennas with the current band conditions. I use dipoles or end fed random wires when I am in the field with my KX3. When I am at my home, I use a horizontal loop that is a close to a full wavelength on 80, and a
