Re: [Elecraft] K2/PSK KIO2?
Leigh L Klotz, Jr. wrote: If you use the KIO2, you won't need to use the PTT line with such programs, as they can send the K2's TX and RX commands over the serial port, so you only need the one serial port, not two. I have only ever used one serial port and have used a PTT and CAT control using the same port. With MixW I use the CAT command for TX/RX keying and the DTR line for Morse keying. But because the key jack doubles as PTT on the K2, DTR works for conventional PTT as well for software that doesn't support CAT keying. But to return to the original question, the KIO2 is certainly not essential for PSK use. - Julian, G4ILO K3 s/n: 222 K2 s/n: 392 G4ILO's Shack: www.g4ilo.com Zerobeat Ham Forums: www.zerobeat.net/smf -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/K2-PSK-KIO2--tp15021617p15040321.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] Solder and flux
Some brands of solder wick come was pre-filled with flux and have a waxy feel.

Hi, Stan! You bet! I have a laptop with Vista Home Basic and the K3 Utility program works great. Remember, a key to the success of updating the K3 is how it is connected to the computer. If you use an RS232 - USB adapter (ours or anyone else's) always make sure they have the correct drivers (see the K3 Utility Help file for details). Also, if you use a USB hub, it should be externally powered with a wall wort. Hubs that use the host pc for power are usually underpowered and can cause download failures.

RE: [Elecraft] Broadcast Band
Ideally you would want the KBPF3 option that provides efficient front-end filters for out-of-ham-band listening. Wayne commented that the K3 can be used for general coverage without the KBPF3, but its sensitivity isn't as good since the correct front-end filters aren't available. I haven't tried it without the KBPF3 so I can't suggest how much worse it would be without the right filters. For AM reception, including BC band reception, the basic SSB filters are fine, especially for voice programming like a ball game. The K3, with its 1 Hz tuning resolution, tuning accuracy and stability, will receive an AM station perfectly, even with music programming, by simplifying dialing it in as a SSB signal. A 6 KHz roofing filter will give you greater fidelity for listening to music IF you receive it in SSB mode! In AM mode the audio bandpass is limited to 3 KHz, just like receiving SSB with a 2.7 kHz roofing filter (remember, an AM signal has two sidebands, so the audio bandwidth is 1/2 the roofing filter bandwidth when receiving in AM mode). In SSB mode you listen to only ONE sideband of the AM signal, so you have the full 6 kHz filter bandwidth for the best audio. I'm listening to some big band stuff from an AM station on mine right now G You won't often need the full 6 KHz bandwidth to listen to AM sigs in SSB mode unless you have a very critical 'ear'. Most conventional AM radios today, especially car radios, roll off the audio bandpass at about 3 kHz, just like the K3 using the 6 kHz roofing filter in AM mode. They do that to reduce noise on marginal signals. Consumers have expressed a strong preference for a narrower audio bandwidth and less noise on weak signals. Where the 6 KHz filter become critical is if you want to TRANSMIT in AM mode with the K3.

On my K1 it occurs near 21072 kHz, You're correct, the tone is on 21072 kHz. I've been testing the rcvr at night, which, duh, obviously will produce weak signals on 15M. Today I compared the K1 rcvr to a general coverage rcvr on 21 MHz and both rcvrs gave the approximate same signal strengths. So, no problems.

Most conventional AM radios today, especially car radios, roll off the audio bandpass at about 3 kHz, just like the K3 using the 6 kHz roofing filter in AM mode. They do that to reduce noise on marginal signals. Consumers have expressed a strong preference for a narrower audio bandwidth and less noise on weak signals. Where the 6 KHz filter become critical is if you want to TRANSMIT in AM mode with the K3. Ron AC7AC For AM MW/SW BC reception only, is there any reason to choose a 6 kHz filter over the 12(?) kHz FM filter (available in Feb)? 73, Drew AF2Z ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] a cure for the blues?
Quote: It is just as valid an issue for those waiting for a K3 as technical questions are for those who are lucky enough to already have one. (OM julian, G4ILO on the 23rd). OM Julian, you got your K3 10 days ago. I should hope that I'll keep wanting to use my K3 every free minute when it arrives. Instant gratification won't increase the pleasure. But since so many are feeling frustrated, maybe they can try doing somehting they enjoy? Like getting on the air or taking a holiday some place where it's warm? (I'm planning a motorcycle trip to the mountains in the North of Thailand with a portable mast. And when I'm getting wet, it helps to motivate oneself somehow). Brain research tells us to keep trying new things. Like using the other hand for standard tasks. Surely, there will be something to cure the frustration? Today, I will try a $ 4.75 foot massage. Getting on the air will be even better, so let's have fun! 73, Chris Hs0zfe / Kf6vci ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] Thursday night - special NAQCC 160M Sprint
We are offering a second edition of our special 160M sprint which is now going to be an annual event a day or two before the January CQWW 160M Contest. We were pleased with the response (22 logs showing 51 different participants) to our initial offering last year and feel it is something our members really like. It is also an opportunity to do some final 160M testing before the CQ Contest. Some members don't believe QRP and simple wire antennas work well on 160M. This also provides a chance for them to prove themselves wrong. QRP does work well on 160M just as on any other band, even with simple small wire antennas. RULES specific to this sprint: Date and time: Friday, January 25, 2007 from 0130-0330Z which is Thursday evening here in the USA Bands Used This Sprint: 160 meters only (1810 kHz +/- 3kHz) Entry Deadline: All entries must be postmarked or email dated before 2400Z on Jan 31, 2008. 73 de Larry W2LJ ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] K3 Club Demo Help
I am looking for a PowerPoint or similar presentation of the K3. Next week I want to show my K3 to my local club. This has come at rather short notice and I wonder if anybody has produced anything that I might be able to use. I hope to be able to bring some live clips of band segments using SoftRocks to record and retransmit into the K3. I sure wish I had more time.
