Thank you Gary,

This tidbit is very helpful as I was about to head out and get one of
the large LG OLED and noise was a concern.

I would add that this is also one place you cannot scrimp on cabling,
some (give away with the device) HDMI cables spew noise (and are quickly
cut up then tossed).

If you spend thousands for a large screen OLED, do you really want to be
a miser on the cheap stuff?

Folks,

As several mentioned, Win4K3 might be the 
answer behind this issue. The problem was 
unwittingly caused on my end, I never set 
the Mic EQ in Win4K3, I really was only 
using it for the ability to interface WSJT 
along with all my other programs.

I set the TX EQ values in Win4K3 to match 
those I set in the K3 and set that as 
default. Thus far I have not had the issue 
of my Tx settings being changed.

Until things prove different, I will 
consider this issue closed. 

Thank you all for the help, I would have 
not guessed at this as the issue.

73,

Gary

Re: [Elecraft] K3s audio question

Subject: [Elecraft] K3s audio question 
Hi All,
I apologize in advance, as this is going to be a long post.  I will try to
include all the relevant information, so not many questions are left
unanswered.

I recently bought a K3s and got rid of my K3 rigs.  The K3s is located at
my Ohio QTH (remote radio) and hooked up properly to the PC, which is Win7
64 bit, running the latest OS updates.

To operate remotely, while in Texas, I use all software, no RemoteRig.  The
software I use for radio control is Win4Ksuite (I have been corresponding
with Tom and he suggested I ask this group), N1MM for contesting and
logging.  I run com0com to allow the virtual comports to run both
Win4K3suite and N1MM simultaneously.  I run 2 instances (with different
Id's) of Skype, so I have audio and can see my P3 via webcam.  Included
hardware is a Winkeyer.  The K3s and Winkeyer are properly configured in
N1MM.  This setup has worked flawlessly for several years.

*The only difference is I went from a K3 to a K3s... no other changes.*

The K3s came with firmware version 5.62.  When I used the remote setup last
time (in August 2018) it worked perfectly.  The K3 then, had version 5.60.
I have updated the K3s with firmware version 5.60 and still experience the
issue.

The ISSUE... whenever I hit a key on the control station keyboard, makes no
difference which key, the audio will "mute" for a couple of characters,
then pop back on strong.  It makes no difference if I have Win4K3suite &
N1MM running, just Win4K3suite running or nothing other than Skype and the
radio on, the moment I hit a key, the audio is muted momentarily!

Any suggestions on a remedy would be greatly appreciated.

73 de Jim - KE8G

I've got a macro string that sets the K3 to LINE IN, compression to 0, and
monitor level to 2.    I expected that once LINE IN was selected, then
MG016; would set the LINE IN level to 16.

 

But it doesn't.    I've searched the K3 Programmers Reference but I seem to
be missing this command.

So, is there a macro command to set LINE IN level?

Pulled a two month old backup SSD out of the safe. No go - did not work

I am sure the computer is busy doing something - which I don't know

This is why 99% of the time, I am running Linux Mint. But, the number of 
programs that really are good for ham radio and work on Linux is small. 
Most of the stuff is garbage. So I keep Windows around.

I did find an Apple driver update - took it out and noticed no difference.

This is becoming one of those things that is taking more time than it is

[Elecraft] Lightweight and inexpensive remote control of my K3s 
Once again this year I'm planning to visit friends over the Thanksgiving
weekend. Unlike in the past, I won't be able to set up for CQWW-CW from where
I'm staying. Instead, I'd like to remote back in to my home station. 

Last year I used RemoteHams software and N1MM+, and it worked OK as
proof-of-concept, but I wasn't knocked out with the whole workflow. The latency
wasn't a big problem, but the lack of paddles was. The macros in N1MM+ were
fine, but too often I wanted to send by hand, which I couldn't easily do with
the RCFOrb client software. The server side software worked OK, but it's very
finicky. 

I'd like a hardware solution, but not something as expensive or unwieldy as a
K3/0. I'm thinking along the lines of something I can throw in a briefcase,
connect to my laptop, and plug in headphones and paddles (or a mic, heavens
forbid) and not have to rely on a dodgy piece of Windows software. Any thoughts?
I remember that the Remotehams guys had a hardware box but I've never known
anybody who used it, and I'm not sure if RemoteRig's boxes are what I'm after
either (don't they only work in contention with a K3/something?).

Re: [Elecraft] RF Meter Doesn’t Move when radio set to 10 watts

2018-07-11 Thread tomb18
HiDo you have the 100w amp in the k3? Is it enabled in the menus? The meter 
reading switches at 10w so perhaps this is related? 73 Tom va2fsq.com

[Elecraft] RF Meter Doesn’t Move when radio set to 10 watts 
Been trying to figure out why every once in a while “Ext. Mic” will display
on the screen when transmitting. I’m working with Elecraft on it currently.

My question is; does anyone notice when you have the radio set to 10 Watts
the RF meter only shows on bar? When I set the radio below 9.8 watts the
meter always works fine.

I can adjust the mic gain up and down while set at 10 watts and the RF meter
will start moving again. Even when I put it back on the mic gain setting
that it wasn’t working on. But when I turn the radio off and back on the RF
meter doesn’t move unless I’m under 9.8 Watts? 

Even if I get the RF meter to start moving again when I adjust the mic
control, if I wait a little while it will stop moving. It does it with the
internal mic as well.

And just to be clear, this is happening when I push PTT and talk into mic.

Anyone have any idea on this? If you could check your radio I would
appreciate it.

Thank you!!!

HiWhat?? That's the first I've heard of that! There is no built in web server. 
In fact all the networking of the Icom radio protocols are proprietary and 
encrypted. Currently, you can only use it with the rs ba1 software via a 
network although that will change shortly :) 73 Tom va2fsq.com

It's true that the IC-7610 is simply two IC-7300 type receivers in one 
box. But, it IS dual receive - which is nice. Another impressive feature 
is the built-in web server. Remote control is simple and accessible from 
any PC. Otherwise, it has the features you would expect in a mid-range 
transceiver. And, of course, the K3s maintains the lead in receiver 
performance.

Re: [Elecraft] 32 bit Elecraft Utility Apps

2018-04-12 Thread tomb18
So forgive me but is it the case that the 32 bit elecraft utilities will not 
run on 64 bit operating systems? If that's the case then elecraft will release 
a 64 bit version of the utilities. If the 32 bit utilities  do run on a 64 bit 
OS then what's the point? There is no point. A 32 bit version of their 
utilities will work just as well as just fast over a rs232 connection no matter 
if the OS is 64 bit 128 bit or 256 bit. So the question is will these utilities 
not run on a 64 bit OS? They are 32 bit and run just fine on 64 bit windows..

Yes - you are correct. It didn’t occur to me when I installed it that it 
shouldn’t run due to the different architecture.
Turns out that the first thing I installed to the fresh installation of 
Raspbian was Exagear Desktop to test with a different application (a windows 
one.) I had thought that you had to tell ED to start the 686 emulator prior to 
running an x86 app, but it appears to automatically invoke when it detects the 
different architecture trying to load. So it started the emulator and runs KX3 
Util inside it.
It isn’t perfect though - for some reason it fails to connect to 
ftp.elecraft.com with a 127 error, even though the x86 machine can go to the 
internet. KX3 Util does connect to the KX3 and can do everything else though. 
Guess I’ll have to figure out how to correct that one problem.

I expect that a some time in the not-to-distant future they will release a 
64-bit version of Raspbian. It would be nice to have a native KX3 Util program 
compiled for the Arm. Raspberry Pis just get more popular for ham radio. It 
runs the FL suite, WSJT-X, and Chirp.

It may depend on where the file is stored.  If under \programs(X86) that 
folder needs 'special' permission for software to write that the writers 
must include.  When that happens, it's best to install that type of 
program under \MMTTY which does not have the limitations for writing.

Tom,
 Something comes to mind. Go into the setup menu and check the AGC 
threshold. As you move it up in number, the audio output goes up, and it 
takes a greater signal amplitude before it "kicks" in. I usually use 
this when using data A to prevent AGC capture, or at least as much, by 
other signals in the passband, for instance FT8 with a received 
bandwidth of 2.5KHz. Normally, the K3 AGC is excellent and should have 
prevented what you describe unless the the AGC threshold is too high.

Jim,

The IF takeoff point in the K3 is right after the 8.215mHz mixer, so at 
that point, it has a very wide bandwidth.
The K3 filtering is after that IF takeoff point, so any filtering in the 
K3 will not affect that bandwidth.

I don't know how much wider than 200kHz the IF takeoff might be.
200kHz is a substantial portion of any band.

Tom,

That is the result of the transmit signal leakage into the receive IF 
output.  If it is bothersome, a relay operated with PTT to break the IF 
output would be in order.

It is not a true representation on the final transmit signal because of 
shaping circuits in the K3 transmit chain following the leakage point. 
So it cannot validly be used to analyze the final transmit signal.

This is a valid point. I don't think all vga to hdmi converters are created 
equally. Also the svga output from the p3 at 1920x1080 doesn't work on any of

I have a signal generator on 14.075
I see the signal on 14.075 and the image around 14.091
I tune the radio to 14.085, so the true signal is to the left of center, and 
the image to the right
when I try adjusting gain or phase, the only signal I can “adjust” is the main 
signal..

I think part of the problem is the peaks are so small, its hard to

Re: [Elecraft] Digitized IF over IP?

2017-11-20 Thread tomb18
Hi Here is a demo using remote rig, and a kx3. https://youtu.be/8--Vk2WWLok
In this case, the videos author is using a product from Eltima that streams a 
sound card  USB port over TCP. This again requires a pc at the radio end to 
stream the output of the sound card to the remote computer. But as you can see 
it works well. 
Also don't underestimate the capabilities of screen sharing programs. They do 
of course require a computer at the radio end but then there are loads of 
possibilities. There is also a pure teamviewer solution that can be used with 
many different clients. 
https://youtu.be/kWa7zSBeD6Q 
There are lots of possibilities. The P3 however, doesn't have the ability. 
There is on the other hand, a port in the back that was intended for this

Doing a screen grab is certainly possible a variety of ways. But it would
seem to me that doing the FFT of a realistic size and update rate and just
streaming the data to the control location would likely be more efficient.
Most of the SVGA display is blank at any point in time and a waste of
bandwidth. Doing an A/D converter and feeding an FPGA for the FFT must have
been done before by the HPSDR guys. https://openhpsdr.org/
The control point can then display the data, average it as desired, provide
a waterfall of it, etc.

Something with 1024 or 2048 points and 10bits of data would make a good
place to get a start on feasibility. The control of such a remote device
would probably need SPAN, CENTER (freq offset), SCALE (gain) and REF LVL.
Along with the data stream would need to come the band/freq info from the
K3s. The rest would be in the Control Point display, likely software.

I really don't need to outperform the P3 but it's probably possible to do
so. Just having the P3 as it is and being able to have the screen remotely
would be a great capability.

I recently worked at a station which didn't have K3/P3 at all locations and
it was like walking around in the dark!!

Re: [Elecraft] sharing K3 RS232 to CAT and Remoterig

2017-11-14 Thread tomb18
HiSince there has been some discussions about virtual ports and comport sharing 
I would like to describe the technical aspects of win4k3s comport sharing and 
what sets it apart from most sharing solutions. 
Win4k3 is not a comport splitter. The best way to describe it is that it 
provides multiple virtual radios to any number of applications or hardware 
devices. It does this by being exclusively in charge of polling of the radio, 
and maintaining the state of the radio so that any other application that needs 
this information obtains it from memory and not from physical access to the 
radio port. The polling cycle has been optimized so that changes are almost 
immediate, and the complete api of Elecraft commands are queried for and 
cached. 
If the application needs to write to the the radio, for example to change 
bands, it gets access almost instantly, by a locking mechanism that is part of 
win4k3. At that point the state of the radio changes and other applications 
have that new state. 
Another area where win4k3 is different is that there can never be a race 
condition where excessive commands pile up in the radio command buffer. The 
response to commands sent to the radio are always a 1 to 1 event. There are 
never multiple commands sent and the the responses waited for. A single command 
is sent and then a response is waited for. To date, there is not a single 
application that will in any way fail when connected to the virtual port 
facility in win4k3. You can run n1mm, nap3, wsjtx,  dxlab, and others 
simultaneously in full contest mode for days. 73 Tom

let you share the CAT feed of your K3 with multiple software applications
at the same time, but you can do it with physical serial connections too.
Win4K3Suite connects to your K3's direct CAT/RS232 port and then manages
the feed to other physical ports and or virtual RS232 port pairs for
software connections.

For example, I can have N1MM+, DXLab Commander and WSJT-X all sharing the
CAT feed, each program follows the other if you want them all running at
the same time... and beyond that I can setup another connection to my 2K-FA
amp.  In this example, all three software applications think they are
directly connected to the K3.  They all can poll the K3 data and they all
receive the output data.

The latest version of Win4K3Suite lets you setup up to 6 Aux/CAT ports for
this purpose.  They can be virtual com port pairs for software or direct
connections to physical serial ports for an amplifier, SDA100, auto antenna
tuner etc...  It works very well and is rock solid reliable in my
experience.

I have a YouTube video that shows this... around minute 18 of the top of my
head.  In the quick demo in that part of the video I should the 2K-FA
following the K3 along with a couple software apps, N1MM+ and DXLab
Commander, if memory serves me correct.  Jump to minute 18 a watch for a
few minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku8Gyl0amRY

I'm assuming this is what you are looking for with your remote rig
connection to your K3.  You want the remote rig box to think it's directly
connected to the K3 at the same time other software and hardware think they
are directly connected.

Win4K3Suite provides the best way to handle this IMHO and I have tried a
number of solutions that will work too... LP-BRIDGE, Omni-Rig etc... but
the other fall short when it comes to a transparent share across software
and hardware.

Re: [Elecraft] WSJT-X K3/K3s hanging as Tx

2017-11-13 Thread tomb18
Wstj-x has a lot of issues communicating with rigs. What I have found is For 
example, on the k3, it will change modes before it changes bands. The result, 
when you are on the new band you are in the wrong mode. On the Yaesu ftdx 
radios, it puts the radio into USB instead of data mode for transmit, and rtty 
mode for receive. It does not handle split correctly on the ftdx radios either. 
This is more important for yaesu rigs because they can have per mode parameters 
for gain and so on. It is quite possible it is doing something wrong when it 
comes to Dtr control. On the other hand you can try to use the omnirig entry in 
wsjt x for control, but it also has mode issues. Not sure about the k3. That 
may work better. 73 Tom

The CAT and PTT are on different COM ports, per the installation instructions 
for the microKEYER II when using WSTJ-X.  And it's not a stray RF problem as I 
have all the equipment bonded together, ferrite cores on the audio and control 
lines, a line isolator in the feedline where it enters the house, and line 
isolators between the rig and amp and between the amp and antenna tuner.  The 
lockup happens when running only 30 watts with FT8.  It never happens when 
running a KW on many other modes.  I run RTTY, PSK and other digital modes with 
no problems.

Thus, I suspect the issue is associated with the WSRJ-X software as the same 
issue occurs with various transceivers in multiple locations.

Re: [Elecraft] WSJT-X K3/K3s hanging as Tx

2017-11-13 Thread tomb18
What Joe, eluded earlier is actually true in some cases. Software can bombard 
the serial port with so many commands, without  listening  to a response and 
then issue the cat command. The problem there is the radio is processing all 
the other commands and the PTT is delayed. 
In wsjt if you are using it alone with the native cat support and a k3, the 
data rate is very low, not like  something like n1mm. There you can use the cat 
commands for Ptt without any issues. On the other hand, just turning the 
computer on can toggle the dtr and thus the radio can go into transmit. There 
it requires disabling advanced parameters in the serial port drivers, to turn 
off interrogation of ports. 73

Use software PTT in the applications while W4TV figures out what is

Are all those having a similar problem using MicroHam something? or does 
it occur with other interfaces.

Re: [Elecraft] WSJT-X K3/K3s hanging as Tx

2017-11-13 Thread tomb18
Using hardware PTT using Dtr or RTS is technically fine but many software 
packages will default to having them on with the consequence that the 
transmitter is in transmit mode if PTT is set to dtr. It becomes more and more 
complicated with more software hooked up. I have yet to see any software that 
cannot be used with software cat based PTT. It gets rid of most issues. As I 
said it is fine, but it takes more effort to make sure everything is set 
correctly. It also is possible that you will have to go into the driver 
advanced options for the serial port and turn off interrogation at start and 
other possible values. Play it safe, just use software Ptt for everything. 73

I've been using WSJT-X since it was first introduced several years ago, 
and I've never had this problem. I've always used VOX to put the rig in 
TX mode, as I do with SSB and all digital modes. I've often run with a 
power amp that uses a vacuum relay for T/R switching, and there's 
sufficient delay within the K3 and K3s for the amp's T/R relay to switch.

[Elecraft] WSJT-X K3/K3s hanging as Tx 
For those using WSJT-X, sometimes I find 
the K3s is locked as transmit but there is 
no RF being sent and no Rx from the K3. 

Looking at the P3 I see a jitter on the 
upper half of the screen as if there was a 
tiny output but no Rf is seen on any of 
the three SWR meters in line (K3s, AP3 & 
LP-100A).

I couldn't get WSJT to receive, looked at 
the settings, all were correct and as is 
sometimes needed with WSJT-X, I rebooted 
to get it to work properly but it still 
did not lock onto the K3s frequency. 
Rebooted again and then I realized the K3s 
was in that TX condition with both the red 
& yellow LEDs lit and that jitter on the 
P3 upper screen.

This happens every so often and what I 
have to do is touch any of the buttons on 
the K3s and it disengages this situation. 
I did that to deal with the issue I 
mentioned above. I could restart the K3s 
but then I'd have to restart LP-Bridge and 
wait, so I use the quick fix.

Anyone experience this and figure out how 
to prevent it?

Thanks!

Re: [Elecraft] Software suggestions for KX3

2017-11-09 Thread tomb18
HiI don't think I ever got an email from you. However, in almost all cases, of 
double images, it is traceable to an issue with the cable or a 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm 
adapter. Use an ohm meter and then follow the connection, making sure it is 
providing the stereo signal from the kx3 to your sound card. The adapters are 
prone to bad connections as are 2.5mm Jack's it seems. If it is stereo then 
follow the guide in the win4k3 manual to ensure that you selected 192khz, 24 
bit 2 channel in the recording options for your sound device. It all comes down 
to this only. 73 Tom  va2fsq.com

Re: [Elecraft] Fraud detection

2017-11-06 Thread tomb18
HiEmail spam and fraud detection is getting more and more intrusive. You may 
feel that your email address is immune but it's not the address that causes the 
issue but the underlying MX records that the recipient system is detecting and 
then based on reputation, processing according to its algorithms. Almost all my 
emails from my support email goes to spam when the destination is Gmail. It's 
not the email address but rather the SMTP server is shared with thousands of 
users from host gator. Many of those users may hack the destination and hence 
they reject anyone using that system. Your only real recourse is to get a 
professional Gmail account. This will allow you to use your existing email, but 
use the Gmail servers for the transport. Most destinations trust Gmail more 
than other sites. A pain, and I'm surprised Gmail hasn't been hit with a class 
action suit. 73 Tom

HiCom0com cannot be used alone. It is a bridge between two pieces of software 
one of which has built in virtual port facilities like Win4k3suite. It is

the Micro ham router manages the virtual ports also. So you cannot use it

Lyn,
 I guess I can understand the developers position. However, I can 
tell you I have had no problem using com0com which appears to be very 
well behaved. I will also say that I have had my problems with 
LP-Bridge. LP-Pan is not software. It's an IF to baseband with two 
outputs piece of hardware, in phase and quadrature phased streams. These 
run into a stereo sound card and those data are used for spectrum 
display, usually NaP3. LP-Bridge is software used for port sharing.

 I take it that you are using a KX3. That means you do not need an 
LP-Pan as Elecraft had the foresight to give you I base band data 
already. You just need to obtain a good stereo sound card and go.

 The modes in WSJT should work fine in using VOX, but being able to 
read out and control the radio's frequency can be very helpful. Here's 
something to think about. Use a Signalink USB to connect to your KX3 for 
digital modes. It uses a USB connection to your computer and will key 
the transmitter when you tell the software to transmit. The Signalink 
uses an internal vox to know what to do and an acceptable sound card 
that will take the radio's audio and feed it to your digital software. 
You can plug a powered speaker into the Signalink's aux out and that 
will allow you to change modes without need to do anything that remove 
the mic and replace it with Signalink's mike cable. This allow greater 
ease in mode changing, and you can continuously monitor you received 
audio. Levels are set on the Signalink's front panel.

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 and KPA500 Remote software Server / Client issue - This time in Text Format

2017-08-05 Thread tomb18
HiThis might be a long shot but recently I ran into an issue where I could not 
access a iP to IR gateway for my home theater. It uses a web interface to allow 
configuration. I tried disabling all firewalls, all kinds of things. Then I 
went to another computer and it worked fine. So I configured it, and later that 
day I got a message that there was a new version of my antivirus software which 
is Avast. So I installed it. Later that evening I went to update the gateway 
again and could not connect! Perplexed I went to bed. Next morning I thought 
about it and said, hey what about the antivirus software? I disabled it and low 
and behold it worked on all PC's. Seems that antivirus software is now also 
restricting access to network devices that are not considered standard. You 
might give it a try. 73 Tom Va2fsq.com

Subject: [Elecraft] KAT500 and KPA500 Remote software Server / Client issue - 
This time in Text Format 
Hello to the group. 

I have downloaded both the KAT500 and KPA500 remote software. I am using them at
my remote site. I have a Windows 10 computer that I can access via Anydesk or
Teamviewer. 

I am unable to connect to either program in a Server/Client combination. I keep
getting a message that "failed to connect".

What I have done so far is:

I am able to Ping the host PC from a couple of other computers within the same
network.
I am able to get the programs working if I connect directly to the remote
computer (using either the Host IP address or local host)
I temporarily disabled all firewall programs on all computers
I cannot connect from 2 separate computers on the same network (Windows 7)
At the remote site I have an ethernet switch that I connected to directly and
was still not able to access the computer about 5 feet away
I have made sure that the port has been opened in my DSL router (although when
using the same network I realize that this is not required)
I have the latest  firmware in both the KPA500 and KAT 500
Not quite sure what I am doing wrong. Any assistance would be greatly
appreciated as I am presently at the remote site for the weekend.

73

Hello Chris,

if your Kx2 is an early release, the plastic cover bends slightly after
some time and it is possible that dust comes on the display.

I contacted Elecraft and they sent me a slightly modified cover. Since then
no problems with the rig.

Tom, this new release with the optimization of the polling for the CAT data 
sharing from the K3(s) is a big improvement.  Well done.  With the new release 
the CAT data update in N1MM+ as shared from Win4K3Suite is very smooth and 
responsive... I share CAT data to an SDA100 SteppIR controller and to an SPE 
2K-FA.  The frequency data updates hit all the devices in near real-time now 
through the com port sharing with com0com.

Hello,

There is a new release of Win4K3Suite for the Elecraft K3-S, KX3, and KX2.  
This release provides polling performance improvements and fixes an issue with 
the compression and monitor sliders.



Win4K3Suite is the ultimate computer control and integration program for your 
Elecraft Radio.  It interfaces with all Elecraft hardware allowing even the KX2 
to control and integrate the KPA500 and KAT500.  In addition, it has built in 
virtual port technology which allows up to 4 software or hardware devices to 
share the radio.  Integrates with HRD LogBook and DM780, DXLab, Log4OM, you 
name it!  Includes a built in Panadapter supporting LPPAN, and SDRPlay.

You can see an overview here:

It's probably pretty narrow-banded. Did you try tapping ATU TUNE a second time

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Noise reduction Test

2017-06-20 Thread tomb18
Just a note. This is with a small amplified  vertical receive antenna, the ncc1 
and all fed through the k3 Rx loop. It's wwv, and the whole thing is switched 
in at the end of the video. 25dBm reduction in the noise. It's also really 
useful for eliminating acting one signal on top of the other. For example Am 
broadcast dxing... I can get rid of a strong am broadcast on top of a weak one. 
Now if only this could be automated and built in to the radio...

Re: [Elecraft] Using the K3s with a Tokyo Hy-Power HL-1.5KFX amp.

2017-06-05 Thread tomb18
HiThere is another way to do this if you use Win4k3suite. Just plug the rs232 
out from the amp into your computer, and then connect directly to it in 
Win4k3suite using the auxiliary port. Then just set the port settings to 
generate band info or auto information. It will follow the bands at that 
point.. 73 Tom Va2fsq.com

Re: [Elecraft] Fool proof kill switch = deadman timer?

2017-05-29 Thread tomb18
I've seen something similar on Yaesu transceiver. It's a timeout for transmit 
built into the firmware of the radio. So if transmit is engaged for a set 
period of time, the firmware will do a shut down if the radio. Perhaps elecraft 
can add such a function? 73 Tom va2fsq.com

[Elecraft] Fool proof kill switch = deadman timer? 
I run Remote Rig with W7RN.  In terms of what I think you're looking 
for, it really doesn't provide anything. It's a control and audio 
interface between two rigs.  With K3's at each end, and an IP path to 
the remote RR box, turning on your control K3 puts it in TERM mode and 
turns the remote K3 on.  Your K3doesn't make any RF but it behaves 
exactly as if it was, your display is a carbon copy of what the remote 
K3 is doing.  RR will work with other radios, Ihave no experience with 
any of them.

Depending on what might be hanging the remote in TX, turning your 
control K3 off may or may not fix the problem.  As Rick, N6XI, says, 
"Remote Rig involves a *lot* of 'moving parts' and is non-trivial to set 
up."

Re: [Elecraft] K3 not Seen By Computer after OS upgrade

2017-03-18 Thread tomb18
One thing to keep in mind, is that just Uninstall of the device may not be 
enough. There is an option in the driver Uninstall that allows you to delete 
the driver software. What I would do, is look at the comports in the device 
manager and if I see any exclamation marks do the Uninstall but select delete 
driver as well.Next unplug your device, and reboot.Next install the software 
from the manufacture and then reboot and then plug in your device.This always 
works. Just make sure you install the correct drivers. 73 Tom va2fsq.com

If you upgraded to Win 10 then do the updates which are rather large and see if 
that doesn't fix the issue.  If not then right click on the Win 10 start icon 
and select device manager.  Find errors in the list then uninstall.  Next 
select action and select look for new devices ( something like that).  If you 
note the device manager repopulates the same errored device, remove again but 
reboot.  IF that doesn't solve it, right click on errored device item and look 
for update.  If that doesn't work, google the issue and be careful where you go 
to research the item.  (Great place to find viruses or bad sites.)

It took a couple of minutes for the device driver to be installed the first 
time. There were a series of “toaster popups” in the lower right corner that 
described progress…  I think I did have the other end of the cable into the 
radio for this, but I don’t recall.  Patience is definitely required.  I most 
recently did this at last year’s Visalia DX convention with a new device (a 
K-Pod) with slow wifi and my CEO and customers were waiting. I remember it well.

 

I sometimes delete the existing driver, then ask Windows to go get it again.

I bit the bullet and upgrade from Win 7 to 10 this morning in an effort to 
address some issues I just couldn't live with any longer. All was fine until I 
plugged the USB cable from my K3 into the computer and nothing. No recognition 
what so ever. I went to the Elecraft site and downloaded and installed FTDI and 
Prolific drivers though I think it needed FTDI. Still nothing. I'm puzzeled 
though as I downloaded two different FTDI driver packages. One was an install 
package and the other is a folder with no obvious setup file for installation. 
The folder is labeled CDM v2.12.26 WHQL Certified. That's probably the one I 
needed to install but am at a loss in how to do that. Some advice would be 
appreciated.

[Elecraft] Questions about the sensitivity of the KX2

2017-03-06 Thread tomb18
Hi, I must confess that although I have interfaced my KX2 to my software I 
haven't really had a chance to use it as a pure radio, unattached to the 
computer. One reason was a lack of accessible antennas and time. Today however 
I received my MFJ 20m whip antenna and was playing around a bit tonight. Now I 
know it's not meant for 160m or 80 or 40, but shouldn't I hear something?  I 
mean even tuning to strong am bands, would I not hear these signals?Is this 
normal? Thanks for any advice.73 Tom va2fsq.com

20-meter whip on 17 and 15 meters with the KX2 (or  KX3) 
Hi all,

Today I was operating pedestrian mobile in the ARRL DX contest with just the 
MFJ1820T 20 meter whip. This 4 foot-long whip is very narrow banded, which 
isn't a problem over the full 20 meter band as long as you have an ATU 
available - the KXAT2 in the case of today's KX2 excursion. (Note: You also 
need a ground counterpoise. 13 feet is about the right length.)

When trying to use this whip on other bands, in a pinch, it can be tough on the 
ATU, given the sharp resonance of the antenna. But I realized I hadn't tried 
shortening the telescoping part when operating on frequencies above the target 
band.

It turns out that, at least in my case, the ATU could match to 1:1 on 17 meters 
by collapsing 2 lower sections. On 15 meters, I could get a 1:1 match by 
collapsing 5 lower sections. 

While this is certainly a compromise in terms of radiation efficiency, it does 
make the transmitter happy, allowing the use of full power. I didn't do any 
far-field tests to compare the shortened whip at 1:1 to the full length of the 
whip at much higher SWR, but for receive purposes, it was about a wash. 

As a bonus, there's less metal waving around in the air. This can be handy when 
you're walking, especially in a residential area with a lot of "Neighborhood 
Watch" signs proudly displayed :)

73,
Wayne

Re: [Elecraft] Failure to Load Drivers for K3 & KAT500

2017-02-04 Thread tomb18
HiThe first thing I would do is to uninstall any drivers for serial ports you 
have on your system using the device manager. In the process, you will see a 
check box to delete the driver. Select this.Reboot. Next download the ftdi 
drivers and do the install of the driver software. Then, plug in the USB to 
serial adapters and let windows do its thing. After this, go into the device 
manager,  select the unknown or serial device and install the driver, pointing 
to the folder containing the driver from ftdi.If this doesn't work, you may 
have hidden devices. To determine what they are search in Google for uninstall 
hidden devices. Follow that and repeat.That should do the trick.73 Tom

Re: [Elecraft] Tuning procedure for KX3, KXPA100 and KAT500?

2017-01-25 Thread tomb18
Hi The kx3 or kx2 and kxpa100 will work just like a k3 and a kpa500. Make sure 
the kxpa100 is enabled in the kx3. Make sure the tuner is bypassed in both the 
kx3 and kxpa100, also make sure the power is lower than 30w out. Then you need 
the kat500 which will tune the antenna. In this combo, the kpa500 must be set 
to the band you wish to use.73 Tom

Ken,

If you are using TUNE (and not ATU TUNE), then there is no need for a 
macro.  Just go into the menu and set the KX3 TUN PWR entry as desired.

The ATU TUNE works with the KX3 alone or the KX3/KXPA100/KXAT100, but I 
don't know what happens if you use it with the KPA500.

Re: [Elecraft] Source for K3 weighted knobs

2017-01-17 Thread tomb18
HiI have one of the weighted CNC knows on my K3. I've had it for about 3 Years. 
 I rarely tune the radio with the know using mostly software. However now a 
days when I do turn the knob there is a very pronounced dead spot, and a notch 
in the turning of the knob. The weight of the knob has permanently altered the 
feel of the encoder and I fear it will need to be replaced one day.Because of 
this,  I do not recommend weighted knows on a k3. Perhaps if you use it every 
day it would be different. But if you mostly just let it sit  my experience is 
that it will permanently damage the encoder over time.73 Tom va2fsq.com

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Source for K3 weighted knobs 
Neil,

First, the K3 knob(s) will not fit the shaft of the older encoder on the 
K2.  If the K2 was built quite recently (or has had the encoder changed 
to the new one), then the K3 knob(s) will fit.

I would suggest the K3 VFO B knob for those newer K2s - the VFO A knob 
is too large and its diameter interferes with the display plastic.  You 
would have to add substantial thickness to the felt washer to provide a 
bit of drag on the knob.

Know that the K2 knob is weighted, but its weight is not as heavy as the 
CNC knobs that have been offered.

My gut feeling is that one reason that those heavy knobs are used is to 
allow giving the knob a spin to make large QSY excursions.  The problem 
with that is with a free-spinning knob, the knob may move after it is 
stopped, so the frequency you thought you stopped at will be changed 
when you lift your fingers from the knob.  I have had several K2s sent 
to me for repair that had no drag on the knob, and part of the reason 
for sending the K2 for repair was that "the K2 drifts".
There must be some drag on the knob if this "drift" is to be avoided.

Lastly, if you install a heavy knob and then ship your radio for any 
reason, you should remove the knob to assure that the encoder shaft will 
not be damaged during shipment.

Don W3FPR

works. If you wish true CW they give a link to use the key circuit with a 
hardware adapter.73 Tom va2fsq.com

[Elecraft] K3 with Signalink or MRP40 
Has anyone used MRP40 with success with the K3 or with a K3 and signalink
usb?
I have tried and tried to get this to work. 
It will key the signalink and will key the radio, but no output or audio is
transmitted. 
Sending the audio to my speakers works, but not to the radio. 
I have set jumper jp2 and jp3 to on which raises the output level of the
signalink. 
I have adjusted the windows audio level and still nothing. 

So any suggestions would be appreciated. 

Thank

Re: [Elecraft] SVGA monitor for P3

2016-12-28 Thread tomb18
HiAbout the only option for a USB capture device for VGA these days is an 
Epiphan AV.IO HD. It will use a USB 2 interface but 1920x1080 is unlikely to 
work very well mainly because the refresh rate at 1920x1080 appears a bit too 
slow. Other resolutoons are fine. These options are expensive.There is one pcie 
board also available from  StarTech and they also have a USB 3 device as well. 
Again expensive.The cheapest option is to find a used avermedia hd game 
broadcaster or Epiphan vga2usb on ebay.All these options will work with Win4k3 
and give full mouse poimt and click control as long as you have a 64 bit 
operating system.There would be many more inexpensive capture devices if the 
svga was updated to hdmi.73 Tom

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and SDR-IQ and CW Skimmer

2016-12-23 Thread tomb18
You can connect the sdrplay to the IF out of the K3 and use Win4k3suite  or 
hdsdr to view the spectrum.  The Sdrplay would need to be tuned to 8.215MHz in 
HDSDR or it is tuned automatically in Win4k3.the SDRPLAY will provide 2mhz 
bandwidth in its most useful configuration but you can go to 8mhz bandwidth.On 
the K3, you will see some interesting effects as the bandwidth is increased. 
Depending where you tune you can see signals all of a sudden disappear when you 
tune the radio when the bandpass filters take effect. None the less 1.8 mhz is 
good on the ham bands.73 Tom va2fsq.com

I know nothing about the display capabilities of SDR-IQ, so the only

Re: [Elecraft] Macros that need to be executed twice

2016-12-16 Thread tomb18
HiThe first 4 commands are almost exactly what WSJT-X issues. The band change 
probably is not finished before all the rest of the commands come along.In 
addition, issuing of P3 commands in a macro are particularly at risk.Have you 
ever noticed that a QSy on a marker using the P3 buttons didn't work the first 
time? I'm not sure this still happens but there was a bug in the P3 / K3 
command chain that corrupted some data. I believe it's been fixed but if not 
that may be a reason. Some of these problems do not show up if the program in 
use has a dedicated control of the radio. But the developers should not assume 
this today. Many people use multiple apps.It would be great if Elecraft would 
just add a DL command with a millisecond parameter to all their utilities.  
Many problems would be solved.73 Tom www.va2fsq.com

Re: [Elecraft] Macros that need to be executed twice

2016-12-16 Thread tomb18
HiFor your information..there are various reasons a macro needs to be sent 
twice to be effective. One is that radios appear to be "deaf" after a band 
change when in fact the band has not yet actually been changed.  This can 
effect more than just a macro. For example the WSJT-X application will change 
bands when you select a different one than you are currently using and it will 
immediately follow this command with a command to read the frequency.  In all 
cases it shows the previous frequency but instead of waiting, it issues a mode 
change to data-a anyways with the result that the mode ends up being incorrect. 
There are other cases where macros that change something in a menu can take 
quite some time to actually execute with the result that subsequent commands 
make it do the wrong thing. The best way around some these issues would be if 
Elecraft would add a delay command to their API that would not be ignored. But 
the best solution is for software such as the Elecraft utilities or other third 
party software to have a built in delay command that would slow down delivery 
of a multi command macros. 100 to 1000ms would be enough.That being said there 
are one or two commands that always need to be repeated no matter what the 
delay.73 Tom www.va2fsq.com

Re: [Elecraft] Strange KPA500 problem on 6M

HiI had the same with a 160m antenna. Turned out to be a connector that would

Subject: [Elecraft] Strange KPA500 problem on 6M 
Bottom line: I can’t get more than 200 watts out of my new KPA500 on 6M. It 
faults (HI SWR FAULT) when I try to increase the drive in order to get more 
output.
But I get full power on 6 with a dummy load.

Bad antenna? Don’t think so. Here’s my setup:
3 element M2 6M beam fed with high cost, low loss coax. Very low SWR and works 
great until I try to get more than 200 watts out of the amp.
I also have an R8 vertical and an HF dipole, both of which tune up on 6 with my 
new KAT500.
When running the amp at 200 watts, the swr indicator shows low swr with the 
KAT500 and any of the 3 antennas. As soon as I increase the drive with any of 
the 3 antennas, I get the fault.
When running the amp without the KAT and the beam hooked directly in, same 
fault when increasing drive.

The beam looks good in an MFJ antenna analyzer as does the R8.

So, I think the amp must be extremely sensitive to anything other than a pure 
1:1 load as provided by the dummy load.
Your thoughts?

[Elecraft] Fwd: Aw: Re: [K3] IF Out usage with SDRPlay

2016-12-01 Thread tomb18

Hi I forwarded your message to the group.To use the sdrplay with the k3 you 
must tune the sdrplay to 8.215 mhz and never change it from there. No matter 
what band is on the radio, the signals will be correct. However you may need to 
change an offset frequency depending on the software.73 Tom va2fsq.com

Hello Readers,

 

i am using an SDRPlay SDR attached to IF out of K3 and was believing, that this

But i assume (after reading some articles) that, when i switch the K3 to 40m 
and the SDR to 40m, then i see part of the antenna signal passed through the

Re: [Elecraft] K3/P3 Question about Bandwidth display on P3

2016-11-23 Thread tomb18
HiThe command you are using to change the bandwidth is incorrect. It isBW; 
not BWX;You supply bandwidth in 10hz increments. Thus for 300hz you issue 
BW0030;This is likely the source of your error.I have a bit of experience in 
programming the K3 and I have found only 4 bugs, that's it. Whether they are 
bugs or the documentation in wrong is debatable. But the BW command isn't 
in error.73 Tomva2fsq.com

[Elecraft] K3/P3 Question about Bandwidth display on P3 
Hello,

I just noticed what may be a bug in the L3/P3 software.

Setup:
1.  Using the K3/P3 combination

2.  Using a macro to change bandwidth launched from the P3, via the 
Elecraft Utility program.

3.  P3 set up to show bandwidth by making the cursor line running 
vertically wider of narrower.

What happens:
While in CW, or SSB, (no other modes tested), if I am at 2.4 KHz 
bandwidth, (and the P3 is showing the correct BW on the screen via the 
width of the cursor), and I initiate a BW change using the Macro Editor 
utility Elecraft provides, using the macro command, "BW00300;", the 
bandwidth changes on the K3, but the display of bandwidth on the P3 does 
not change width.

If I then manually turn the BW control on the K3, no matter how small a 
change, the bandwidth on the P3 then instantly reverts to correctly 
showing the bandwidth.

An example...  I set the bandwidth via the K3, and the bandwidth updates 
fine on the P3, and K3.

I then unleash a single macro as described above, (from the P3 utility 
program), the K3 changes bandwidth correctly, but the P3 does not 
indicate the change, by changing the display cursor width.

If I then launch more BW changing macros of the form BWX;, from the 
P3 Utility, or from my Genovation Keypad, no changes are shown on the 
P3, with regards to width, while the K3 always goes to the specified 
bandwidth correctly.

If I then just touch the BW knob on the K3 only enough to trigger the 
encoder, (any change, no matter how small) the P3 reverts to the correct 
BW display width.

Discussion:
Has anyone else seen this behavior?  I am pretty sure that when I 
created all of the BW macros for my Genovation keypad, this was not 
happening.  So I think this happened sometime in the last year.

I noticed this while changing bandwidths using my Genovation keypad 
today demoing the K3/P3 to a friend.  I then removed all of the 
Genovation items, and tested again, the problem persists, so it is NOT 
the Genovation keypad.

I suspect this is a bug and will need to be addressed by Elecraft.

[Elecraft] [KX3 KX2] Using a TR switch with a 2nd received and KX2

2016-11-03 Thread tomb18
HiI have a question about using a TR switch like the MFJ 1708 with the KX3 or 
KX2 and another receiver attached to the same antenna. I realize that 
transmitting could blow the front end of the second receiver if it is not 
switched out of the antenna path and grounded during transmit.My question is, 
the MJF has an RF sense that will switch the relay without using the key out 
when it detects RF. However, would this not mean that the RF is already there, 
and pose a risk? Or, is the switching fast enough so that there would be no 
issues?  There is a schematic available in the manual for the MJF. Thanks for 
any advice.73 Tom va2fsq.com

Re: [Elecraft] Lp.pan & k3s 
As an added note, I've looked to adjust Line In Levels on the Xonar U7 as per
http://www.telepostinc.com/soundcards.html using the Digital Level Meter
app. I find that the Elecraft Signal Generator XG3 -73dBm 14.02000 MHz
signal shows on my P3 as a -81 dB peak on CW (and I hear it on the K3S
headphones), but I find no change in turning the XG3 On/OFF while adjusting
the full range of Line In Level on the U7 sound card (dB ranges -33.3 to -27
with or without XG3 signal).

If I switch my PC to the U7, I can hear YouTube videos, so I think my U7 is
OK.  If I run from IF Out on the K3S rather than the P3, still no success,
so the P3 IF Out appears to not be the issue.

Might be the LP-PAN 2 not be working?

I'm only more mystified...

Subject: [Elecraft] K3s USB com port issue 
I have delayed posting this as I was hoping that I would see the same issue
posted by another user.



I am running a K3s and the issue is with the USB com port. First, the com
port assignment is com 27 which seems strange for my simple PC set up. I
have tried to go into the Windows control panel and change it to a lower #
available port, but it will not take, but this is not the issue.



My problem is that the com port will sometimes be recognized by the K3
utility or other programs as either 9600 or 38400 baud on a totally random
basis. If I connect at 9600 the K3s will after a while change its port rate
to 38400 and I have to close the program that I am using and re start it at
38400. This will work fine for a while until the K3s then resets it baud
rate again to 9600 and I have to re start the program that I am using.



Using programs like WSJT-X which now has rig control is very frustrating
and I usually just turn off the rig control and use the com 27 only for ptt
control. I have even had issues while using WSJT-X and the rig control,
that will change the K3s com port to a new baud rate between Rx & Tx
transitions.



Are there any suggestions out there? I only have a PC in the shack and
can’t try another PC. Is this a K3 issue of something with my PC?



Thanks,

Howard AE3T

[Elecraft] Commander in DxLab locking up 
I have been successfully using DxLab as my logging/control program for my K3S 
for a few months now. About 2 weeks ago and again yesterday the Commander 
module locks up. If I am not attentive it ends up logging contacts on the 
'locked up' freq and mode.
I am using a new HP computer in the shack with Windows 10 connecting to the K3S 
with the USB port.
The applications manager is unable to force Commander down. The only choice I 
have is to close everything else n then manually turn off the computer. When it 
reboots all is good.
I have started to shut down Commander when I shut off the K3S - the computer 
runs 24/7 as there are scripts running for auto backup to my NAS.
My issue sounds somewhat familiar to a recent post here.
Any suggestions where to start?

  Thanks for the suggestion but that does not fix/improve the situation. 
Looking at it further I also have spikes at roughly 23, 30 and 52Khz 
above and below my cursor. The 52 Khz signal is at S4 the other two are 
about S2. I can turn on the PX3 and look at the display with no antenna 
connected and see these spikes on every band. If I disconnect the cables 
to the KX3 the signals are still there but go down to S1 in strength. I 
have even tried running both on separate battery supplies but the 
problem is the same. The spikes are there even if I disconnect the I/Q 
cable but the spikes are very small, as soon as the I/Q cable is plugged 
in the spikes increase.

2016-08-29  6:29 PM  (GMT-05:00) To: 'Elecraft Reflector' 
 Subject: [Elecraft] Power "per mode and per band" 
I am inquiring if it is possible to have settings saved "per mode and 
per band".  The current system seems to be "per band" only.

Reason:  Like many, I operate data modes as well as CW/SSB.  On the 
latter two, the duty cycle is 50% or less, and running full power (100W) 
seems reasonable.  However, on the data modes, the duty cycle is 100% 
during transmit, which bothers me, both since it might strain the 
amplifier and because there is generally no need for that power.  
However, if I back off the power for data modes, it remains backed off 
when I try to use SSB or CW on that band.

It is easy to suggest programming fixes when I know nothing of the 
program.  But if this is a reasonably easy one, it would be appreciated.

Or maybe someone has found out how to do this with the present firmware 
(5.50)?

George, W3HBM

Based on the data provided change the flux capacitor :)

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=bug+check+50+on+usbaudio.sys=1

as a suggestion: 
1. Unplug all attached hardware except keyboard, mouse, monitor, and K3S,
power on the K3S then power on the PC.. does the issue persist?
2. perhaps indicate what OS and hardware specs you are using? 
3. Which port on the back of the K3S are you connected to and are you
connected to a USB1, 2 or 3 port?
4. Have you enabled the USB in the settings?
5. any adapter, hub, or other connection between or associated with the

HiI have little experience in demodulation of the signals but I did do SSB and 
AM at one time. Basically once you have the samples in the fre1uency domain you 
will want to apply a bandpass filters and shift it down to baseband,  do an 
inverse fft and then a Hilbert transform to demodulate the SSB signal.Again you 
best bet is the free online book I mention.73 Tom

I never thought it was simple :)
I am just trying to understand what is going on, so given by what you've said I 
would push the IQ data coming from the KX3 into an FFT, that FFT would then 
produce the circular buffer  that would  let me analyse what signals are in 
that band?
But this would be in the frequency domain then, however I am not interested in 
a band plot,  I have a signal at Freq X, with the KX3 tuned at Y, (X=Y), would 
I have to still pump that IQ data into the FFT to filter all the other signals 
out, then inverse teh FFT to get the IQ data that I would want?

Hi All

Yes this topic might be a little bit more complicated than the title
suggest.

So I have the KX3 plugged into the audio input of my computer, and its
sending quadrature data (IQ) to the sound card, the sound card samples at
96Khz.

So my question is how I process this? Yes I know use a piece of software,
but I am trying to write this, I know the IQ data is coming through down
and if I use the right process on the IQ data I get base band data out. I
kind of know that however I dont understand the SDR data coming out, so for
example and I getting sample of IQ data at freq point Y, or is it  a
circular buffer arrangement.

I guess what I am saying is, is the IQ data coming from teh KX3 data from
teh Centre Freq (+/-) the bandwith scope, or just the centre freq + some
additional side bands?

How are bandwith and sampling rate related? I mean if I am sampling at at
96Khz, with a band with of 48Khz does that mean I am only getting 2 samples
per second at perticular freq??? Or am I getting the entire band of 48Khz
at 96Khz.

I’m currently traveling in Oregon, and watched it on the Portland area PBS 
station (Oregon Public Broadcasting).  I assume it is the most current program 
in the Nova series, but I missed the actual title as I didn’t tune in until 
about 5 minutes after it started.  Sometimes there is a slight lag between on 
air viewing and their website availability, but just about every Nova program 
ends up on the website for viewing online.  Check the dates shown, and it 
should be the one for this week.  If it’s not there yet, it will be, and they 
even said it would be available online.  Also, most PBS stations broadcast Nova 
multiple times during the week, so check your own station’s schedule for the 
week.  Looking at OPB’s schedule, I think the title may be “ Secrets OF The 
Sun”.  Here it is being aired multiple times this week.

I might just add that there are few programs on TV these days that are better 
than Nova.  It is marvelous!  My other favorite is “Frontline”, but, of course, 
there are still other superb programs that are pure entertainment, like 
“Masterpiece”.  If you are not a regular PBS viewer, I think you are really 
missing something!  My satellite TV system gives me just about anything that is 
available, but in truth, I could probably survive quite nicely with just two

  Hi All,

  FWIW, there was a very interesting program I watched last night on PBS.  
The 
  regular program called "Nova" had a most informative discussion about the 
  solar cycle and how it affects us here on Earth.  It won't tell you 
  everything you want to know about propagation, etc., but it does give a 
lot 
  of perspective as to why our communications can be so disrupted by solar 
  storms.  They also talked a lot about "sunspots"!  We tend to think the 
more 
  the better for us, but do we really understand how they form, and the 
effect 
  they have?  This gives you some insight about that.

  Anyway, you might want to check it out, and I think you can watch it 
online 
  at www.pbs.org/nova.

Re: [Elecraft] Win4K3 and the mouse wheel

2016-07-13 Thread tomb18
HiFirst thing I would do is check your firmware on your radio as well as all 
peripherals like a p3 etc.  If you have old firmware there's likely to be a 
delay. Second make sure that you have the radio set to show all digits of the 
frequency down to hz. The mouse wheel should work instantaneously and be quite 
fast.73 Tom

Reflector  Subject: [Elecraft] Win4K3 and the mouse 
wheel 
I know this is the Elecraft reflector but it seems to be a de-facto Win4K3  
site as well.Been trying out the Win4K3 demo (which I heard about here).  My 
mouse/trackball 
pointer wheels don't seem to have much effect. If I spin them really fast, 
sometimes 
something moves a bit. 

This effect is the same in the spectrum window (incremental tuning)  or the 
control 
window (changing a frequency number). Yes I know the steps in the spectrum 
window can be changed. If I change it to bigger steps, the excessive spinning 
of the mouse 
wheel is still required, it just jumps further when the program finally 
recognizes  the 
wheel moved. Anybody else seen something similar? I use a trackball but an 
ol'  fashioned mouse acts the same.
cheersdink, n7wa

Re: [Elecraft] [K3, k3S] Panadapter for the Sub Receiver

2016-07-01 Thread tomb18
HiOne thing missing is software support. A key api command is missing for the 
subreceiver and is unlikely to be made available.So, it's an ok mod to get an 
overview of an area of the airwaves,  but not accurate enough for serious 
use.73 Tom va2fsq.com

Re: [Elecraft] [K3, k3S] Panadapter for the Sub Receiver 
Thanks Don.

Part of my reasoning for posting was that this feature might 
increase sales of P3s. Given the relative lack of interest, I 
think it remains a user mod. (But my K3 might look nice with 2 
P3s on top of it. :-)
