Re: [Elecraft] [Elecraft_K3] New Elecraft Product: K-Pod Control Panel for K3S and K3 Transceivers

The two are quite different, Fred. Yours has the edge on price Other major differences: The K-Pod connects to the K3/K3S at the RJ jack beneath the front panel, so it doesn't tie up the rig's RS232 or USB ports. It can optionally be powered through this cable. The optical/ball-bearing

Re: [Elecraft] A new Elecraft product?

Ken, There is an Elecraft product called the TCXO. It is capable of temperature stabilization BUT Elecraft has not implemented that function. Perhaps though should be given to implementing the temperature compensation capability. My understanding is that there is some difficulty in doing

Re: [Elecraft] A new Elecraft product?

Brian, I'm aware of the TCXO ... it's the only option I don't have ... thought it might be just a small step to synch it to a GPS receiver instead of some form of after-market / surplus standard. Each cellular site has a GPS receiver for clocking, but I have no idea of the size of the unit, or

Re: [Elecraft] A new Elecraft product?

Brian, The High Stability TCXO (1 ppm) is not a separate Elecraft product - it is an option for the K3 offering better specs than the stock TCXO (5ppm) - yes, both are a TCXO. The temperature stability was found to be far better than the 1ppm specification without the temperature

Re: [Elecraft] A new Elecraft product?

Don, The issue isn't whether the TCXO is an improvement over the standard. The issue is whether the TCXO is good enough for some of the wide range of uses the K3 is put. What you are hearing here is that it isn't. Elecraft has responded with the external locking option. That option, being

Re: [Elecraft] A new Elecraft product?

I've been running with a Trimble Thunderbolt GPSDO and the Elecraft TCXO for over a year now. I'm in a position to keep the Trimble powered up continuously, but I can certainly understand the angst of those who can't. It's a trade-off. I also keep an old laptop running, and have Lady Heather

Re: [Elecraft] A new Elecraft product?

I am hearing that you have an external reference that takes some time to warm up after you turn it on, and that causes the K3 to move frequency with the warmup drift of the external reference. If the external reference is stable when the K3 is turned on, there is no need for the K3 to ignore

[Elecraft] A new Elecraft product?

There appears to be interest in external frequency standards to enhance the already outstanding stability of the K3. Would an Elecraft accessory that uses the clocking from the GPS system be a viable product? Perhaps hidden away in the P3 cabinet if there isn't suffucient space in a loaded K3.

Re: [Elecraft] A new Elecraft product?

No, I don't think so, Ken. There are plenty of frequency standards already available. In any case, we would not want to direct Elecraft's attention away from developing the K4 ;-) Your suggestion of putting it in the P3 box is not practical. You make the assumption that everyone that has a K3

Further to my message attached - I decided to download the KPA500 Remote Software and see if it would work just using the same transparent COM1 channel I had been using for the KPAUtil approach - and it seems to work just fine. It only took a few seconds to cycle thru a number of Com ports

Wayne, etal: I'm asking for someone else that has the K144XV (I don't). With the addition of the K3EXREF and K144RFLK, and assuming you have the TCXO-3, what is the expected freq. stability expected? The K3EXREF is published at 0.05ppm. At 144-MHz, 0.05ppm would be 1.44x5 = 7.2 Hz. That
