Message-ID:  <[email protected]>
Content-Type:  text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

For those still waiting  for, or building, their KXPA100, the effort 
is definitely worth  it.

I just returned from a vacation trip to St. Barths Island for 10  
days, operating 'vacation styl'-intermittently, and took my KX3 and  
KXPA100 with a small switch-mode supply from Powerwerx, operating 
from  a rented villa.  Ran up about 2200 QSO operating late at night,  
mostly, using a 33' telescopic pole supporting a variety of monoband  
PAR/LNR EFZ antennas as FJ/N9SW.  Output stayed right up at 100 Watts  
all bands without a waver.

The amp worked great, never got too hot,  and its integration with the 
KX3 was smooth and efficient. Had everything  but the pole packed in a 
modest soft, padded test instrument case, which I  successfully 
checked through 3 different flights, no issues.   Reasonable weight, 
high performance.  Perfect!

By the way, the  LNR/PAR EFZ antennas were also super....1.2:1 or 
better SWR on each of the  bands I had with (40, 30, 20, 17 and 6), 
right 'out of the  box',   Since the 40m model is 66' long, I ran the 
wire through  a round uncrimped crimp terminal that just fit over the 
top of the pole,  at about the 50% length point, and draped the 
antenna like an inverted vee  to the deck of the villa. This put the 
feed point right at a comfortable  level, and made no difference in SWR.

Nice work, Elecraft!

73,  Gene N9SW

Message-ID:  <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain;  charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

2KHz is getting a bit above my  hearing range.

I wonder if there is a way to do low tone FSK-D @1275 Hz  mark.
Not interested in AFSK.

I suppose the center frequency of the  filter would have to be reset as 
well as the dual tone filter.

Hi Brian,
Sure -- All you have to do is be in  FSK-D mode, press & hold the SPOT 
(pitch) button.  Use the main  tuning knob to set the mark tone you want and 
exit out of it.  Works just  fine and all the standard tones are available in 
the menu.

Jim -  W0EB

I just checked it to make sure it works.

This is not an endorsement and I am not  getting paid to promote this.  I am
just sharing.

Here is a  interesting web site in development that will take your ADIF or
LoTW logs  and create a world map with pins.
You can filter by band/mode,  etc.

http://qsomap.org

There are couple of little bugs I have  stumbled upon, but the
developer N9MS  has a pretty clean interface  and I am sure it will get
better over time.

The account is free and  you can pay $20 to have a poster size high
quality print made of your qso  map.


I thought it could be interesting to filter and make a map for  my QRP DXCC
contacts, etc.

Message-ID:  <[email protected]>
Content-Type:  text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

I've already made a  suggestion on this topic, but here it is again:

But let me reply in  general that a 6m-23cm (50-1296 MHz) all-mode 
radio would be desirable  in
100w output on the two lower bands and 50w on the rest.  NO need  for 
lead weights once the heat sink is installed.  It will be lots  bigger 
than the K3 by necessity.

Important operating specs to  meet:  High dynamic range input, low 
phase noise, extremely good  freq. stability (<10-Hz drift), built-in 
sequencer for control of  external preamps and amps, RS232 and 
soundcard I/F like the K3 plus  digital IQ interface for running 
computer-based sw (this would be a SDR,  right?).

my suggestion:
Buy a K3/10 - has almost all the above  requirements by adding options 
(exception no direct digital IQ  access).
Design a line of transverters with 50-MHz IF to work like the KX3  
will with its 2M module.  10-20w is fine (smaller/lighter).
Design  a multi-module enclosure to take up to four of these 
transverters, and  include a sequencer inside it to handle control 
with up to four bands of  accessories; transverter modules would use a 
edge connector plus coax  output...plug -in like computer cards.
The transverter enclosure could be  of size to match the 
K3.  Portability is almost as easy as a single  box radio.

If you want more power buy external linear  amps.

Note: the 50-54 MHz IF will result in full band coverage of 144  and 
222 bands; 432-436, 436-440, 1292-1296, 1296-1300.  LO's all  would be 
programmable synth PLL with opt. ext reference input on 10-MHz  (this 
is already available from other venders; I am currently using them  in 
two of my transverters).

OK that is my vision.

I  basically already have this in my station by use of external 
transverters  with the K3/10.

Thanks to Jim, W0EB.

It's  already in there.

Just change the pitch while in the FSK-D  mode.

In N1MM, if you're using a DXP38 modem, it is simple to change  the mark 
setting to match.

Works!  Now the audio signals are  not attenuated by many dB.

oops, sorry

Just  responding to the elecraft digest today where there were several 
posts on  this topic.  Now I can't find that digest?  I thought it 
strange  that someone started up the topic, again.  Chalk it up to a 
computer  burp that an old digest was added as a new one, today.

Bill,

One thing you might want  to check is your menu setting for VFO CRS (VFO 
Coarse Tuning).  You  could set that to 500 Hz for SSB - it is a per band 
setting.

That  may not help with your request about the SPOT button, but it may be 
a good  substitute.

Subject:  [Elecraft] New K3 Beta Firmware Release,    Rev. 4.81  (misc.
improvements)
Message-ID:  <[email protected]>
Content-Type:  text/plain; charset=us-ascii

K3 firmware rev. 4.81 (with DSP rev 2.82)  is now available as a beta 
release. Highlights of this release:

* RIT  can now be turned on/off during transmit: (Note: If RIT is turned on 
or off  during transmission of a CW character, the length of one code 
element may be  affected. This will be corrected in a future release.)

* 10 and 18 MHz  are now available as transverter I.F. bands. 10 MHz is 
particularly useful as  an I.F. for VLF and LF transverters, e.g. for the 
600-MHz band (~475 kHz).  This is because 10 MHz OCO's (oven-controlled 
oscillators) are relatively  inexpensive, and can serve as the local oscillator 
for a 
home-built  transverter.

* That pesky RTTY 45/75 baud bug has been fixed. The  FSK-D/AFSK-A baud 
rate is now global, meaning that one setting applies in all  cases. The band 
rate is set by holding DATA MD, selecting FSK-D or AFSK-A  using VFO B, then 
selecting the baud rate using VFO A.

* RTTY/FSK  transmit improved: In FSK-D mode using an PC-generated FSK 
input, the K3 no  longer exhibits DSP errors (ERR DSE) or loss of 
communications. Previously,  these may have occurred when the K3 was sent too 
many serial 
(RS232)  commands.

* A number of bugs in Remote Rig mode have been fixed. See  release notes 
(accessible from within K3 Utility) for a full list.

*  You can now set the crystal filter lower edge in CW mode to 0.1, 0.2, or 
0.3  kHz above zero beat. The default is 0.2 kHz. The 0.1-kHz selection 
provides  enhanced bass response, but may allow you to hear a low-pitched  
opposite-sideband signal when you're tuned near very strong signals. The  
0.3-kHz selection may be preferred by some operators in extremely  
strong-signal 
environments. To change the setting: Select CW mode, then go  into MENU:RX EQ 
and tap '0' (CWT) to choose the desired XFIL LO  value.

How big is the check you are willing to  send? ?I have no inside track on 
pricing, but as an engineer, and estimating  the size of the market, and what 
you are asking I don't think that 10 grand  would be unreasonable. ?Would 
you still want to jump in line at that price,  maybe higher? ?Or are you 
looking to get one at a bargain  price?

The 4.81 firmware release notes as  downloaded from the FTP site show
only the following for version 4.81:
*  XVTR IF BAND CAN NOW BE 10 OR 18 MHZ (in addition to the  original
selections).

Expansion of the release notes at least to  list the steps to set the CW
XFIL LO would be appreciated.

Oops, I now see that the necessary  information is listed in the release

Sorry.

Subject:  [Elecraft] Shorter DB15/DB15 cable from KAT to KPA
Message-ID:  <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain;  charset=us-ascii

Hello

I have my KPA500 placed over the KAT500  (probably like many other users) 
and
I'm using the Elecraft DB15/DB15  original cable (the first model about 1 cm
diameter, I heard the new cable  model has less diameter and is more 
flexible
but the length is the same).  
It happens I have a mess behind KPA caused by the unused cable  length.

I ask if it is available or from Elecraft (better) or from any  other dealer
a shorter cable (I think 1 ft length) I could use to safely  connect KAT 
with
KPA.

Many thanks, best 73

Giorgio -  IK1BXN

Hi,

Nobody has responded to your post, so I'll hop  in with what I know.
Congratulations on your new k3.

I have that  birdie, on USB it zero beats at 14,026.3, on LSB at 14,018.9
kHz. It's a  fast tuning birdie, very weak and completely inaudible with a
real antenna.  But I am curious about your RF gain setting. When I back off
the RF gain to  11 o'clock my S-meter reading rises to S9+30dB and the
receiver is  thoroughly deaf, birdie inaudible. Have you done your receiver
gain  calibration?

Paul,

The release notes are  cumulative.  If it was included in an earlier 
firmware (whether beta  or production), then it is also included in the 
higher numbered version -  unless it is specifically retracted.
The only exception would be a beta  version that does not reach 
production status (and that is  rare).

73,
Don W3FPR
