Re: [Elecraft] K3s/P3 CBLP3Y with other equipment

Phil, There are RS-232 "Y" adapters that will accomplish what you want. Make certain the other devices will not attempt to transmit - their drivers on the RS-232 lines must be disabled and present a high impedance. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/16/2016 8:53 PM, Phil Holliday wrote: Is there a

David, That happens when the firmware load is interrupted for some reason or another - usually a computer glitch. I have never heard of it being a K3 failure. Follow the instructions given in the K3 Utility Help file under "Forcing a Firmware Download" - Information is also in the K3

Somehow while loading rev 5.54 to my K3, it locked up. It is hung up with the TX led flashing and the screen saying MCU LD. What can I do to recover from this disaster? thanks & 73 de Dave, W5SV __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

[Elecraft] K3s/P3 CBLP3Y with other equipment

Is there a schematic for this cable assembly? I am looking at the simplest way of connecting other RS-232 driven peripheral equipment which are just ‘listening’ devices, in my case my SteppIR SDA100 controller and SPE 1K-FA linear and minimizing cables now that I have a K3s & P3 connected by

Re: [Elecraft] AGC INFORMATION

Just a comment/correction about JT65: I don't know who is claiming 20-dB improvement over CW, but the creator of JT65, Joe Taylor - K1JT has stated that "about" ten dB improvement can be realized. I can hear -18 dB JT65 tones from eme signals. This fits well with the theory of receiving

Re: [Elecraft] great article on AGC by Fred Cady

Ian, At P49Y, I also like to use SLP=0 for pileups, because then one can "ride" the RF Gain control to try to differentiate signals within a pileup. On the other hand, for casual operation, it is easier on your ears to use higher values of SLP in order to make the volume of signals more

Re: [Elecraft] great article on AGC by Fred Cady

Hi Ian, Most of my operating has been contesting and dealing with pileups. I want to have the most discrimination or differences between different strength signals in the pile up. And it would also like the radio to be as linear as possible. So I would normally use a high threshold and

I didn't see anything in this thread that suggested that the problem wasn't observed on all bands. Maybe I missed it? Also haven't noticed anyone suggest using the K3's "TUNE" function, instead of SSB modulation, as a test. If the output ramps up with the TUNE function, it's an output problem. If

A TR switch failure would affect all bands. This one is a bit different. It will be interesting to see the cause when we finish troubleshooting. Jack Brindle, W6FB Elecraft Engineering Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 16, 2016, at 12:04 PM, Arie Kleingeld PA3A wrote: > > This

Re: [Elecraft] AGC INFORMATION

Hi Matt, I used to think I could copy CW signals below the noise. However when I put SPECTROGRAM in line and actually measured the S/N ratio the results were disappointing. According the SPECTROGRAM, those "in the noise" signals actually had an +8-10 dB S/N ratio. Try it and see for
