[Elecraft] KNB2 diagnosis
K6DBG wrote Some of the time, my pulses just die at the output of R8, which goes to ground via L1. I'm not sure exactly what I do differently when the pulse gets past - perhaps just how hard I'm tapping? Sounds strange, if you hear the noises coming through your K2 (with the NB off), they have to pass through the bandpass composed of L1 and L2 - all the time. If I have the NB turned off, the signal stops at pin 4 of U1 - I see pulses there, but not at pin 1. Is your U1 - MC1350 working? Have you measured DC voltages and check against the data sheet? 73 Sverre LA3ZA Unofficial Guide to K2 Modifications http://www.qslnet.de/member/la3za/K2/mod.html ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] Avoiding those long lines of text we struggle to read!
It is still considered good practice for email clients to wrap text in outgoing email to less than 80 characters. That makes it break the common long URIs for a particular product or article. It also wraps a reply, causing alternate long lines with a word or two on the next line when the original has been formatted correctly with linefeeds embedded. I haven't read RFC2822 in over six years at least: I'm pretty sure it doesn't recommend setting automatic line wrap on an editor, at least for the reasons I mentioned above. I remember that it sets a limit on how long a line should be - under manual control using the return key every so often. Ian, G4ICV, AB2GR, K2 #4962 Unless one is typing on a manual typewriter or has reached the end of a paragraph and is hitting return to add a blank line before the next paragraph then one shouldn't put a linefeed in their message in my opinion.

[Elecraft] K3 Filter advice...
I'm wondering what minimum complement of filters would work for me in a K3. I am only interested in general coverage reception of SWBC stations, plus operating CW. I am a little unlclear about what filter would be required for AM (reception only), with the KBPF3 option. For CW I generally prefer a wide filter (my K2 is set at 2.0 kHz most of the time). I suppose I would want a narrower filter as well but can't decide whether 500/400 or 250/200. Does a 2.1 kHz + 200 Hz filter pair seem like a useful combo for CW? Finally, I don't have a clue what noticeable difference there would be between a 200/5-pole and a 250/8-pole.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Filter advice...
There were many great posts about the filter options. Thanks to all who provided good advice. I read all of them. This is my take on all of the postings about filters. 1. The shape factor of a roofing filter is not as important as the shape factor of a conventional main IF filter. Therefore, a 5-pole will be fine for a roofing filter. Based on this, I went with the default 5-pole 2.7kHz filter. Since I am a CW operator, I also went with the 500 Hz and 200 Hz CW filters. The 200 Hz may be overkill since the rig has the shift control, but it was not that much more money. 2. The widest roofing filter determines the widest receiver selectivity. In other words, you must have a roofing filter installed - you cannot jumper over a slot for wide hi-fi selectivity. Based on that, since I also like to listen to SW and AM BCB, I added the 6 kHz AM filter. So my widest bandwidth will be 6 kHz and the narrowest bandwidth will be whatever the DSP can do (50 Hz or so) in series with a 200 Hz roofing filter. That sounded like a good combination to me. The biggest problem will come when trying to listen to a weak station who is near another station with a noisy transmitted signal. Time will tell if my assumptions are valid, but I was happy with the choices when I ordered. 73, John W2XS KX1 (S/N 015 and S/N 925) w/KXPD1, KXAT1, KXB30 K2 (S/N 1116) w/KAT2, KSB2, K160RX, KIO2, KBT2, KNB2, KAF2, FDIMP K3/100 (S/N TBD) w/KAT3, KBPF3, KUSB, KFL3A-200, 500, 2.7K, 6K HexKey (S/N 113 ) DL1, BL1, BL2, N-gen, XG1, BNC-MM -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/K3-Filter-advice...-tp14503302p14503637.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Filter advice...
Drew, For AM you will need either the 6 kHz or the 15 kHz filter - an AM signal will not fit through the 2.7 kHz filter without seriously degrading the fidelity. The 2.7 kHz filter along with the DSP filtering does an acceptable job for casual CW, but if a strong (S-9+30) station comes on the air within that 2.7 kHz bandpass, the DSP input can be overloaded, so you may want to consider a filter more narrow than the 2.7 - I think 500 Hz is a good choice. For data modes, 200 Hz is a good choice, and IMHO is a bit narrow for normal CW. If you are into operating during periods of heavy band use (like contest times), then the 8 pole filters with their steeper skirts may be helpful, but for more casual use, the 5 pole filters do a great job. Remember that the filters are 'roofing filters', and not the final filtering (which is done in DSP). Their purpose is to reduce the strength of undesired signals ahead of the DSP ADC - as long as the DAC is not overloaded, the DSP can provide all the filtering needed. Right now, I have only the 2.7 kHz filter in my K3 and it does quite well on CW with only the DSP filtering - but then I have not operated on a contest weekend yet either. 73, Don W3FPR [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm wondering what minimum complement of filters would work for me in a K3.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Filter advice...
Drew and All, I'll take a stab at giving you an answer. For AM reception (and shortwave) you would want the 6 khz filter. For CW, you need to make a choice, but I suspect that in order to limit the number of filters you would be best advised to select either the 400 hz or 500 hz filter. You can look at the graphs to see which has the characteristics you prefer. I have the 400 hz and the 200 hz filters. Most of the time I use the 400 hz, and only invoke the 200 hz filter when things get really tough. But I'm glad I have the narrower filter. However, if I only had one CW filter I would probably opt for the 400 hz. I am very pleased with how the 400 hz filter works and sounds. I think I saw someone suggest the 500 hz would be a better choice, but I'm not sure I remember why. Personally, I want the narrower filter for those occasions when you need just a little tighter bandpass. Besides, I don't find using the 400 hz filter to be unpleasant at all, so I don't think I would necessarily be better served with a 500 hz in the alternative. I suppose you might find the 500 hz filter to be sufficient, when combined with the K3's DSP capabilities, but I think you would actually have to do some hands on to be sure you like the result. O.K. That's my answer. I bet you get several others.

True enough -- but if you are a SW DXer trying to verify the ID of a weak, rare SWBC station, and therefore not particularly interested in fidelity, you can listen to AM in USB/LSB mode quite satisfactorily by zero-beating the carrier. This is especially cool because by switching between LSB and USB, you can pick the sideband that is the least interfered with by adjacent-channel signals.

I use my K3/100 with an Acom 1000, I just connect the phono keying output to the amplifier keying input with a phono to phono screened lead. The Acom doesn't have ALC output, so it's not an issue. The K3/Acom combination works great on CW with no relay thumps or clicks from the almost silent vacuum relay in the Acom linear. The ALC input to the K3 is positive going (0 to + 5 Volts on pin 15 of the Aux I/O socket) and has been discussed on the Reflector previously. 73 Dave, G4AON K3/100 #80 When examining the back panel of the K3 I see an output for PTT to control an amplifier but I don't see any input for the amplifier AGC output to control the transmitter power. Surely this common feature was not overlooked on such a feature rich transceiver. Where is the connection for this control and what control voltage is it looking for? I don't see an amplifier hook up diagram in the manual either. Surely someone using this transceiver with an amp! ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

[Elecraft] K3 - A CW rig?

[Elecraft] K3 - A CW rig?
Fred, you are right. K3 is not for everybody. For SSB-man, there is everything available, 1st class. Remember K2 had SSB as add-on unit. This rig has: -Voice monitoring -Microphone selection -Digital speech compression -VOX of premium quality -Microphone equalisation And with DVR-unit: -TX message record and playback -RX audio recording Same kind of list can be made for digital modes, too. Maybe one reason for messages from CW-folks is that they are more alert; they knew K3 at once and acted. Another is certainly the huge improvement for CW using this RX architecture. Improvement with narrow roofing filter is more significant for CW than SSB. But SSB is improved, too. This is my best phone machine during 50 years of amateurisme. And I have had and made many.

Not in the slightest Fred! Not only does the K3 provide superior SSB, it includes TX audio equalization as well as RX equalization to 'fine tune' your transmit audio as well as receive audio. Nor does the K3 do anything to slight the dedicated competitive CW operator! Since I'm following several lists at once, I can't recall exactly which one has contained most of the glowing SSB reports, but there have been plenty from ardent contesters and rag-chewers alike running SSB and CW.

For thunderbird, setting the advanced option mail.wrap_long_lines to false ought to reveal problem articles. Email clients will usually wrap text on outgoing messages to a certain line length (normally less than 80 characters), but some clients do not. It's part of the basic netiquette guidelines. The standard is for text to be wrapped. Unwrapped text has traditionally been considered poor practice and made emails difficult or impossible to Unwrapped text should be displayed as close as possible to unwrapped. On a GUI client that should mean as a single line with a scroll bar. On a fixed width display, that is with breaks between characters at the screen width. Unfortunately early GUI email clients treated text like notepad in wrap mode, and thus broke the email standards. Unfortunately, people using such broken clients don't see the problem, so it is an unrealistic expectation that people, brought up exclusively on GUI clients, should generate correct email in this respect. In case anyone is going to throw in the progress argument, really up to date email clients use some conventions that allow compatible email clients to re-wrap text, without sending a whole paragraph on one line. It is still considered good practice for email clients to wrap text in outgoing email to less than 80 characters. The guideline is somewhat less than this, to allow for a few levels of quoting. RFC 2822 is the original standard for plain ASCII (non-MIME email). RFC 2646 covers the text/plain MIME type.

RE: [Elecraft] K3 - A CW rig?
Fred, I think the CW ops jumped first on ordering. There have been ssb reports about the K3, but there has probably been more discussion about the CW side of the rig so far. I am going to order early next year and will only use the rig for 75 meter ssb and some am broadcast band reception. I believe I will be satisfied with the rig. As time passes, I predict there will be more ssb activity, including driving linear amps, with the rig than cw.

[Elecraft] K3 and spectrogram: SSB
Put the K3 on spectrogram today. As expected the CW filters are delightfully clean. Now, the SSB filters. This was with 2.7 five pole filter. DSP set at 2.7 khz, the filter is for all intents, PERFECT. Steep sides, very steep, and absolutely level and flat top from one side to the other. You could see no difference whatever between USB and LSB plots. It is by far the best plot of SSB filter I have ever put on spectrogram. When it gets interesting, is when you narrow it up. When you dial the width narrower, from 2.7 to, say, 2.1, it narrows from both ends. More likely want to put it in Hi cut / Lo cut mode for SSB, and narrow it up by lowering only the side on which there is QRM that is causing you to want a narrower filter in the first place. 73, Fred - kt5x ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] K3 and spectrogram: dual passband
The dual passband on spectrogram was most informative. It turns out my ear had little idea what was going on. I have the 2.7 khz and the 500 khz (but the radio is set to 600 khz). I think this function will act differently with different filters on board. Here is what happens. When one puts on dual passband, the inner passband that is at full sensitivity is fixed at the 600 hz of the narrower roofing filter. That PB does not change with any PB tuning adjustments. The outside PB is about 25 DB down. For me, that is too much!!! I would rather this be down more like 15 DB. At 25 DB down, I can hear there are stations outside the inner PB, but I can not copy them at the same time as the station in the center. The outer PB is tipped, that is, the high frequency side of the inner filter is five to ten DB stronger than the low side. Seems like it ought to be in balance. PB shift or PB Hi / Lo cut, both do exactly the same thing when in dual PB mode. They narrow up the outer filter, down to the inner filter at the narrowest. They do not, for example, I might have thought the in HI /Lo mode, you might be able to chop off the upper or lower context independently, but you can not. 73, Fred - kt5x ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - PSK31
But it does work pretty well on RTTY just using CW for input. I've tried it a few times, and it's kind of fun! For sure it would be better with a computer, but being able to do it sans computer can be pretty handy at times. It's another good reason to bone up on your CW skills if you haven't been giving it much attention. If you don't send too well though, this may not be a feature you will enjoy.

Have fun. ...robert KE2WY At 12/26/2007 19:37, Sarah K. wrote: I'm back from my week-long road trip, and I finally have pictures from my trip online, plus the pictures from my K2 build... http://www.flickr.com/photos/af6fh/collections/ (Note: If you're offended by pictures of ham radios and stuffed animals in close proximity, you probably shouldn't look... :-) I actually didn't do much radio stuff on my trip; it was my first road trip ever, and at times just getting from one place to another was as much as I could handle! However, I did set my K2 up in the field, which was good practice, because I expect to be doing more of that in the future. My road-trip kit needs a little refinement, too, and I'll have to work on that a bit. (Expect questions later!)

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - PSK31
I was copying a fella (don't remember the call) earlier this week who was sending RTTY from paddles. I had just connected a cable from my K2 to the computer and fired up MMTTY, and had just started copying. The guy in Texas was sending RTTY from the paddles. You could tell, as his sending was a bit slower than the folks that were sending from computer only. He would stop and start, it was as if the signal faded, but it just lulled when he paused, headed to the next letter. It was pretty cool. He was explaining the whole process to the person at the other end. - David Wilburn [EMAIL PROTECTED] K4DGW K2 S/N 5982 On Wed, 2007-12-26 at 19:18 -0800, Mike Penkas wrote: My K3 does not send PSK31 with a paddle.
