[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

Good Evening,    A week of cool weather has lessened the fire danger and brought morning fog back to the mountains.  That fog has kept the berries fresh.  Fruit tastes better when there is no storage involved.  From an ad hoc survey of the surrounding trees about 5% of them are producing

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 AFX - Pitch Setting Enhancement ...?

There are multiple AFX choices for the KX2/3 transceivers. The PITCH selection uses a fixed set of filters for pitch mapping and as noted by the OP the center frequency does not follow the pitch setting. At the time it was implemented we thought it worthwhile to include even if it didn't

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 AFX - Pitch Setting Enhancement ...?

With AFX utilized there is phase shift between left and right audio channels.   I don't seem to think it is constant phase shift, therefore changes with frequency.  This enhances the bi-aural effect of AFX.   In the hearing, thus two sources of the same signal, the leading phase will be the

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 AFX - Pitch Setting Enhancement ...?

Wayne .. This is the only feature that I’ve found not adjusting properly to the CW PITCH setting … I think everything else works like it’s supposed to. I just went out — doing battle with coastal gnats and other gnawing insects inhabiting my patio :-) — and tried it again. (There needs to be

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 AFX - Pitch Setting Enhancement ...?

Grant, The KX3's filter center frequency for all features tracks the sidetone pitch exactly. To change the sidetone and filter pitch, just hold the PITCH switch and rotate the knob above it. If you set PITCH to 500 Hz, for example, then the regular filters, APF (audio peaking filter), CWT (CW

[Elecraft] New KX2 Owner - Looking For Memory Editor Software For Mac

Hello all, The KX2 arrived on Friday, loving it. Trying to find memory editor software that runs on the Mac computer, have a MacBook Pro, would be ideal if available. Anyone have any memory templates that they are already using, and could send over? Thanks! Cordially, Bruce W1UJR

[Elecraft] K3 REF*CAL issue

I have the K3EXREF installed in this K3. I noticed when I clicked on a signal with the P3 & marker, the signal was off a tad from where it should be. On a hunch I checked REF CAL and the asterisk was missing. I know REF CAL had the flashing asterisk a few days ago. I measured the signal

Paul, J1 is on the back of the Front Panel board. The connections of that Microphone Configuration Header for various microphones are indicated in the charts toward the end of the KSB2 manual. If you have used an Elecraft microphone before, you may already have those jumpers and the 5.6k

Re: [Elecraft] KAT100 issue

Mike, I would believe that diodes D1 and D2 in the KAT100 have been damaged by a nearby lightning surge. If that is not the cause, then the firmware IC may be damaged. BTW, it will not tune correctly the way it is. The diodes are 1N5711 type Elecraft p/n E560004. I would get 4 of them.

[Elecraft] KX3 AFX - Pitch Setting Enhancement ...?

One of the reasons I never use this setting is that it seems to be a fixed 700 Hz +/- as “center” in the sound field. I much prefer CW closer to 500 Hz, which always ends up putting the tuned signal in my left ear with this option (and no I’m not terribly hard of hearing in this frequency

I feel impelled to comment here. I use the Bose QC-15 and since the model is out of production, they are quite cheap on fleabay. 1. If they are out of warranty, broken and say the serial is removed, $100 to Bose repair (keep your old cable) & your old set will get you a refurbished pair. I

Re: [Elecraft] Noise cancelling headphones

The first three are easy. The fourthnot so much. If you're willing to forego wireless you might still be able to find the UFlyMic add-on for the QC-15 headset. They stopped making them for amateur radio applications a while back, unfortunately. I've never seen a Bluetooth ANR over-the-ear

Re: [Elecraft] K3 meter indication problem

Lee, Have you checked that K3 to see if it has the gold pins. Remove the Front Panel assembly to check. If it has tin plated pins, often just removing the front panel and putting it back will clean enough oxidation off the pins to correct the problem, but if it has tin pins, get thee gold

Re: [Elecraft] K1 4 bander issue

Fred, If 40 meters works, then 30 should also. They share the same low pass filter and the inductors of the bandpass filter and Pre-Mixer bandpass filter. One possibility is that the crystal for 30 meters has gone bad. You can check for that with an oscilloscope or RF Probe at P1 pin 4.

[Elecraft] K3 meter indication problem

I am having an intermittent problem where, on CW transmit, neither the SWR display nor the RF (power out) display will show any bars. The actual power out is normal so this is a display problem only. I reloaded the firmware and did a re-initialization with no help. The K3 is almost ten years
