Re: [Elecraft] LDEs (Long-Delayed Echos)

An 80m or 160m signal echo after about 1/7 second may seem like a round-the-world echo. But it is more likely that it is a ducted signal in the magnetosphere. The actual delay varies with geomagnetic latitude, and the further south one is the closer the delay time is to 1/7 second. Such signals

[Elecraft] K3S macro to select FrontPanel (mic) or LineIn (codec)?

For phone contesting, I would like to select the LineIn codec, transmit a wav file, then revert to FrontPanel mic input. I have the K3S successfully transmitting the wav audio via its codec input, but not the source switching back-and-forth. The programmer's reference lists a command that enables

[Elecraft] KX3 WSPR Question

Hi folks - I recently set up my KX3 to use as a WSPR transmit and receive system and have a question on calibrating the radio. For my CW work it was fine as is, but with WSPR it should be as close as possible. The WSPR software includes a small suite of programs to help make offsets in WSPR for

You've got the external reference board...what's the external reference your using? Is the external reference board configured correctly in the K3? Same for the ref lock? Is the mode FM or SSB/CW? On 11/28/2015 10:36 AM, Richard Thorpe wrote: I have a K3 with the 2 meter board it has the

Re: [Elecraft] LDEs (Long-Delayed Echos)

> Yes, he's also the originator of the amateur form of AMTOR and PSK31. Yes. Peter was the father of AMTOR, one of the most fun modes there ever was, in my opinion. Too bad it died off, especially when today's rigs would handle it so well. The throughput rate was just right to keep you

Re: [Elecraft] LDEs (Long-Delayed Echos)

"Amtor" existed long before it was a legal mode on Amateur radio as "SiTOR", (Simplex Teleprinting over Radio" ) on commercial maritime circuits. To my knowledge, there is no basic difference between Sitor and Amtor. Only the name is different. I remember when working for Microlog Corp back in

Re: [Elecraft] Final attempt at SOS !!!!

The K3S is usable out of the box. The best way to use it is to connect it per the manual then use it. Over time you will find things you wish to tweak. Look them up in the manual and learn them as needed. All the Elecraft radios are ready to use out of the box. Everyone sets their slightly

OK David ... assuming you are not disabled in some way [for the record, I am], assembling a K3(S) is not hard and it will work just fine for you "right out of the box." The factory defaults work great, I used them for several years before digging into the menus. I recommend you separate the

David, Are you new to Ham Radio or just the K3(s)? First rule in Ham Radio and specifically the Elecraft products. There are no shortcuts. If you're buying the kit or assembled version first step always is to read the manuals, both assembly and operators. They're free for the downloading from

Completed the K2 (with KAF2 and KNB2) just today. All of the bench tests, alignments, and calibrations seem to have gone per plan; but because the antenna farm is 100 miles from my Denver home it will be a while before I can try it on the air - maybe if the weather in Denver warms up I can

Re: [Elecraft] LDEs (Long-Delayed Echos)

That is my recollection as well. SITOR is very much alive and well, AMTOR, maybe not so much, amateurs tend to move on, sometimes but not always ahead of the pack. :-) NAVTEX is also alive and well, 518 Kcs, I think. Modes I remember but are more or less moribund: AMTOR, HF AX.25 pa, AM.

I take the answers you got one step further. Yes, I use the control COM port for PTT. Yes, you need to change the mike functions (buttons/PTT). I also use an "extra" USB sound card for the radio audio I/O so that the system sounds still can come from the computer. Some digital mode
