[Elecraft] Not open source, but still user-programmable/customizable

Hi Mike, As others have pointed out, our products’ software and firmware are generally not open-source. However, there are a few things you can do to customize them: - Each rig (as well as accessories such as panadapters, ATUs, and amplifiers) has a very comprehensive set of remote-control

Re: [Elecraft] Dual Receive on same band in K3s

The other thing you get with the additional receiver is diversity reception. This is a truly wonderful feature that improves copy greatly when there is QSB and some kinds of noise. 73, Victor, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel Formerly K2VCO http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ On 12 May 2017 01:41, Bill Frantz

[Elecraft] Elecraft's source code

Hi Mike! Your question has been asked before in several forms. AFAIK, the answer is "No", and I hope it remains so. If you were able to change your Elecraft's "personality" in some way to make it unique ... regardless of the merit of your change ... it would no longer really be an Elecraft

Re: [Elecraft] (no subject)

Mike, The Elecraft gear is software defined radio, but the software is not open source and not available for modification by the user. Software changes may be requested of the developers, and some may be implemented if the user audience that will use those added functions is sufficiently

[Elecraft] (no subject)

Hello Elecraft group, I don't own anything made by Elecraft yet however I have been shopping for an HF rig to get active again (I have been off the air for a number of years for personal reasons). I really like Elecraft's products, and I am intrigued by the 'software definable radio' possibilities

Re: [Elecraft] [KPA1500] Input Power

All of those popular devices have gain more than 15 dB... so there is a pad in the amp to keep the gain at 15 dB. One would think that a "tweak" will evolve to modify the pad (and possibly the firmware) to eliminate this bothersome limit. Dr. William J. Schmidt - K9HZ J68HZ 8P6HK ZF2HZ

Re: [Elecraft] No USB audio output from K3/0 Mini

Tnx Olli, If TX and RX audio are reversed on the Mini's USB port the simple solution seems to reverse TX and RX audio once more by software, either by selecting the Input as USB speakers and Output as USB microphone in WSJT or wherever software is used or if that is not possible then to use two

Re: [Elecraft] Dual Receive on same band in K3s

Consider a weak DX station working split with a big pileup and compare the K3(S) and the KX3. The K3 has a separate receiver for each ear. Each receiver has its own set of roofing filters. The KX3 and KX2 have to cover the entire frequency range between the DX station and the pileup with one

Re: [Elecraft] [KPA1500] Input Power

Hello Mike, Hi, Did you get answer for AC input power demand?   VA or power factor? No, only for the input power (see below), which I want to know. 1500 watts output = 61.8 dBm --> 15 dB gain --> 46.8 dBm = 47.5 ... 48 watts input The gain limit of 15 dB is set by the FCC. ...

Re: [Elecraft] P3 VGA Question

Hi Doug, The P3/SVGA board does its own 2048 point FFT on IQ data that is passed down from the P3 front panel. The sampling rate is the same for either the P3's LCD display or the SVGA. There's also a bunch of black magic to take care of things like fixed tune and receive path gain

[Elecraft] P3 VGA Question

I know the resolution is better on a VGA monitor than on the original P3 display. I also know that the VGA monitor has more pixels in the horizontal dimension than the P3. However it is obvious to me that the digital processing for the VGA provides much better resolution than the P3. My

Hi Palle, this won't work. TX and RX audio are reversed on the mini's USB port as it's intend is to interface to the PC and use that as a relay to the remote (as an alternative to the RRC boxes). It's a real pity it is not jumper configurable inside as this renders the USB port useless for

Hello Kevin and all Elecrafter, The gain limit of 15 dB is set by the FCC. There is a move afoot to have them drop that particular requirement but the FCC also moves a "glacial" pace. No telling when it might happen. Thanks for the answers online an offline! 73/72 de Ingo, DK3RED - Don't

Re: [Elecraft] GPS Disciplined 10MHZ source from China

The advantage of the Leo Bodnar unit is that it can do a lot more than just act as a fixed 10 MHz reference. It covers the range 450 Hz to 800 MHz, so has many other uses around the shack. I use mine for frequency locking the 116 MHz Local oscillator of an a G4DDK Anglian 144 MHz transverter.
