Re: [Elecraft] K3: internal 2m transverter offset problem

Jim, First the XG3 is not exact on frequency. I use a very good counter which will read up to 26-GHz and has an internal TCXO. I've noted the XG3 being off up to several tens of Hz, so to use as a frequency std is not sufficient for measuring EXREF frequency accuracy. Its pretty good for

Re: [Elecraft] K3: internal 2m transverter offset problem

Are you on the latest firmware rev level in the 2M module? I thought I was and missed an update somewhere along the way. I recently pulled my 2M module and sent it to Elecraft because one of the two crystals was marginal, and it was dead from 146-148 MHz. I got back their evaluation and,

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and Mutek Transverter combo?

Hi Pete, I am not aware of the external Mutek transverter performance, but last September used my K3 with Kuhne TR 144H+40 in IARU R1 VHF championship at the UR7D VHF superstation. From: PETER HUTCHISON peter.hutchi...@btinternet.com To:

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and Mutek Transverter combo?

Peter I have the internal 2m transverter for the K3, and the facility to use an external one instead - so, yes, it can be done. Here's my settings from the CONFIG menu: XV1 ON = yes XV1 RF = 144 XV1 IF = 28 XV1 PWR = L1.50 XV1 OFS = -0.61 XV1 ADR = Int Trn0 XV2 ON = yes XV2 RF = 144 XV2 IF =

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and Mutek Transverter combo?

I can't comment on the transverter for the K3, but I did hear a few pretty dirty signals on 6M from guys I heard running what I suspect were vintage rigs. One was a LID operating as a rover who set up on 50.125 (calling frequencies are off-limits during contests and when the band is open) a

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and Mutek Transverter combo?

Well .. I just spent the weekend integrating a K3 with a set of transverters for 144/222/432MHz .. Assuming you have the KIO3 and the KXV3, it's a piece of cake. You'll have to bust open your transverter to determine whether it's been configured for split or combined IF and what drive level it's

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Internal 2M transverter vs. 10M beacon

Dennis, are you sure you do not mistake this for 28MHz feedthrough? The transverter in the K3 converts 144 MHz to 28MHz. There is no harmonic relation to 144.302 and yes... 10 Watts on 10 meters 15 meters apart from an HF receiving antenna will no doubt leak through. Are you sure the 116 MHz

Re: [Elecraft] K3 to Elecraft Transverter Interface?

Yes. Complete instructions for hooking up the K3 and an XV transverter are covered in the application note Using the K3 with Elecraft XV Transverters released in October 2008. But I can't find it on the web site either! Maybe it's too well hidden in the menus. I'll check with Aptos in the

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and a transverter

Hi Lance, I suppose you have to define transverter to use LowPower driving (XVx PWR L x.x) to use XVTR IN for RX (as KXV3 will be active in this mode). (Or you can set KXV3 to test in CONFIG (KXV3 TEST not norm) when all is routed via KXV3 ports but this has nothing to do with XVTR settings -

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and a transverter

Lance The easy way to mute the K3, while using a separate TX, is to key the K3 with TEST MODE set to ON. I use the same arrangement to mute a K2 from the K3. 73 Dave, G4AON K3/100 #80 http://www.astromag.co.uk/k3/ -- I also

Hi Lance group. I also would appreciate it if somebody knows how to mute the K3 receiver when a separate XMTR is being used. I searched the manual but could not find it. Something I've done to overcome a similar problem was TXing the K3 as well, perhaps have it go split somewhere away from

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and a transverter

Lance, you can disable TX-out by TX INHIBIT signal to be sure you are not emitting RF. It is possible by some short pins on connector only or you can force this together with PTT from the second RIG. Then you do not need to go to TX TEST mode manually and you will disable TX only when second

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and a transverter

Lance, Your frustration is coming through - yes, just before an event weekend is not really a good time to check everything out. Have you tried a power cycle? Is the receiver continuously muted? Was the key closed when the K3 was powered up? There is a TX lockout if the key or PTT is
