I've had WSJT-X working with my KX3 for over two years now. I realize that you already have the Signallink, but try going directly to the PC instead and see if that fixes anything. All you need is: 1.   KXUSB cable for CAT control 2.   Two stereo audio cables for audio in and out.  I bought

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 duty cycle

And even this is conservative -- JT65 is 48 sec TX and 72 sec RX, so 40% duty cycle. FT8 and MSK144 have equal TX and RX times, so 50% duty cycle. The TX period for MSK144 can be varied from 5-30 sec, but TX and RX times are always equal. 73, Jim K9YC On 2/14/2018 3:25 PM, Eric Swartz -

Re: [Elecraft] Using DX4WIN as P3 RTTY Data Terminal

Can a program like DX4Win simply act as a Data Terminal to the P3? It *can* but DX4Win dos not provide that capability. I know you need a communication package connected to the P3 for it to accept commands, like KY and Transmit, so I wonder how to get them both on the COM port unless DX4Win

Re: [Elecraft] OT: USB and LSB - How we got there

Ian's posting is correct. A popular method of generating SSB in the late 1940s used a 5 MHz SSB generator mixed with a 9 MHz VFO producing a USB signal at 14 MHz and a LSB signal at 4 MHz. See "On the Air with Single Sideband" December 1949 QST page 58 (lower right hand corner).

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 duty cycle

Hi Erik, Yes, the amp can run indefinitely on 50 Mhz with 50 sec key down TX at continuous 1500W carrier followed by 50 sec in RX. We specifically were looking at 100% carrier modes like JT65 etc. when we conservatively specified this. 73, Eric /elecraft.com/ On 2/14/2018 11:07 AM, Erik

Re: [Elecraft] SP-3 frequency range question

Chuck, With only 100mW of audio from the KX3 phones jack, I doubt the KX3 will drive any speaker directly. Use amplified speakers. The SP3 will work fine if you add an amplifier. I use the West Mountain Radio ComSpeakers with my KX3. They are not only amplified, but are shielded for RF

Re: [Elecraft] OT: USB and LSB - How we got there

Ken and all, BUT, that information is incorrect. The sidebands will NOT invert with a 9 MHz IF and a 5 MHz VFO. A little simple math should convince you. Assume a 9.000 MHz IF and a 5.200 MHz VFO and a modulating frequency of 1kHz. 9.000 + 5.200 = 14.200 for the carrier frequency 9.001 +

Re: [Elecraft] OK, odd question

It is the "custom" for CW mode to use LSB on the bands below 20 meters and CW USB on 20 meters and the bands above it. Hiram Percey decided that long ago. 73, Roy K6XK I for one like the tuning direction of the Elecraft rigs in CW (LSB). When I began ham radio using much older

Re: [Elecraft] OT: USB and LSB - How we got there

It amazes me that there is still so much confusion and misinformation about something so simple. There are two ways to get 80 meters (3.5-4 MHz) and 20 meters (14-14.5 MHz) using a single VFO and IF: 9 MHz IF, 5-5.5 MHz VFO: - Sideband direction is the same on both bands - VFO tuning

[Elecraft] KPA1500 duty cycle

A recent Elecraft newsletter stated that "the KPA1500 is a high duty cycle amplifier compatible with most digital modes ranging from RTTY through JT65 etc.". The KPA1500 manual specifices for 50 MHz "Maximum 50 sec key down / 50 sec standby (Rec. Min Fan Speed set = 2)". My question: For the 50

Re: [Elecraft] OK, odd question

I find it helpful to tune from a high pitch to a low pitch. That way, I hear the signal coming rather than have it sneak up behind me and tune past the optimum tone. That means, I have to shift the Reverse function depending on whether I am tuning up or down in frequency. Buck, k4ia Honor

Re: [Elecraft] OK, odd question

I for one like the tuning direction of the Elecraft rigs in CW (LSB). When I began ham radio using much older receivers, I liked listening with the BFO set to LSB. My perception was "If the pitch goes up, I am tuning to a higher frequency". Those receivers did not have very good frequency

Re: [Elecraft] OK, odd question

IIRC there was no "standard". It was an arbitrary choice by the manufacturer which side of the filter they put the BFO crystal frequency. Nice to have a choice with the K3! 73, Roger On 2/14/2018 11:15 AM, Chuck Chandler wrote: Something that bugs me just a tiny wee bit. So, for years I

Something that bugs me just a tiny wee bit. So, for years I used a Kenwood or two, then a Yaesu or three, then a Ten-Tec. Much of the time on CW. When I tuned a band, say 20M, I would start at the bottom of the band and tune upwards in frequency. When I did this, as I approached a CW signal
