[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

Good Evening,   A mostly dry week let me cut a lot of firewood.  Falling trees on a hill makes it tricky to read how they will fall. But the laws of physics can be bent.  A come along helps a lot.  Moving all the wood is a great way to get a little exercise.  I am sleeping well. The sun is

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 SSB ALC Mic Gain - a new problem

2017-10-07 Thread Don Wilhelm
John, Try backing down the MIC Gain setting to something low or mid-range. If you get the mic voltage too high, the mic amplifier detects that and inserts attenuation that will shut the audio from the mic down. So bottom line, start with a low MIC Gain setting and increase it until you see 5

[Elecraft] KX3 SSB ALC Mic Gain - a new problem

2017-10-07 Thread Dr John H Farmer
Hi All, Apologies if this question posts twice - my attempt yesterday was unsuccessful, so here goes again. I've been running KX3 #2511 for several years on SSB with the MH3 mic and with settings: Mic gain 35 and compression 12. It's worked flawlessly and that combination of settings has

If someone tries the Avantree (thanks, Al!) headset, please estimate or measure the latency for receive audio.  The spec sheet says nothing about an actual number, even though the banner adindicates Low Latency.  Without an actual number, that is pretty worthless.  Most consumer electronics

Don, ok will do that. Thanks for help! 73 Gernot DF5RF Am 07.10.2017 um 02:16 schrieb Don Wilhelm: Gernot, You either have a malfunctioning U1 or you have a bad relay at K1. Since you were able to get K1 to operate and select 60 meters, I suspect U1 is the problem.  Request a replacement

Re: [Elecraft] Setting the K2 real time clock

Steve, Is that with the KAF2 or the KDSP2 installed. If the KAF2, you *must* change the date first - if it is correct, move it up and move it right back down. That was intentional to keep the time from being accidentally changed in situations like Field where there are operators with

Well, I'm following the instructions but when I get to the part of actually changing the time or date by using the Band+ or Band- buttons, nothing happens. the current date is showing correctly and the time is 6 hrs behind UTC. 73, Steve, W1SFR

I'm no expert, but getting Bluetooth wireless phones and.or buds to work with sufficiently low latency is (based on my limited experience/research) dependent upon BOTH the BT version/capability (hardware AND software) in BOTH the phones/buds AND the BT receiver/transmitter in your device

Looking through the archive, I didn’t find much info about what units people are using. I did, however, notice several caveats about the latency of Bluetooth headphones, especially for CW. It looks like there are now several BT headphones on the market that claim to have low latency, which
