Re: [Elecraft] New concept/tool for CW dxing
Romanchik Dan wrote: It's all a matter of where you draw the line. This is just more technology, and technology is **supposed** to make things easier. Following your line of reasoning, we'd have to disqualify those using DSP or beam antennas because it makes DXing harder for those that don't have them. No I don't agree. QRO, beam antennas, better filtering are all part of radio, and therefore legitimate ways to improve your success at DXing. The problem with technology like this is that it takes all the skill and chance out of the hunt. All you have to do is click the mouse and start sending. It reduces the hobby to a pointless exercise. The DX Cluster was the start down this rocky road, but it still relies on someone spotting the DX the hard way, so it doesn't completely ruin the experience. I think this is a very important issue that affects the value of our hobby. 15 years or so ago people didn't have the internet, and international phone calls were expensive. The ability to talk with someone half way round the world was special and magical. These days, it isn't, and people may start to wonder why we bother using radio when we can use email, Skype or a cheap phone call. If people start using computer technology to spot what they need to work then the actual radio contact becomes little more than a formality. It devalues the worth of the radio communication considerably. This wouldn't matter so much if you could just choose not to use this technology, but people will still be claiming these huge scores having used it, and the rest will feel either they have to do so too or else give up the game entirely. A game isn't fun to play if people are cheating. - 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/RE%3A-New-concept-tool-for-CW-dxing-tp15269987p15329251.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.

[Elecraft] Measurements on K3 TX audio
I had a little time to spare today so looked at my K3 TX audio. Setup:- K3 LSB 80m. Power 10W into dummy load. Heil Pro Plus selected to the HC5 element. Front Panel mic input High. Tektronix 475 Oscilloscope with X10 probe connected to dummy load. I found it necessary to set CMP to at least 5 to enable the MIC control to have a moderate effect. Initially MIC control set to 20 giving the normal unprocessed RF signal display of the scope. Increasing the CMP control to 30 made some difference to the display indicating that compression was taking place, but not a lot. The monitored audio sounded slightly louder. Leaving CMP = 30, I increased the MIC from 20 to 60. The average signal of the waveform increased in line with the increase of MIC level, but beyond MIC =55 the background noise/ distortion became rather noticeable. The monitored audio sounded much louder. I set CMP = 5 and MIC = 20 and used an external Datong RF clipper set to the same peak signal level into the Front Panel mic input. The monitored audio was at least twice as loud as the best I could get from the internal DSP. Notes. Without the external clipper I found that a lift of +2dB @ 2.4kHz and +4dB @ 3.2kHz improved readability. With the external clipper the opposite was needed -2dB @ 2.4kHz and -4dB @3.2kHz. Using the panel metering to set up levels was a waste of time. The internal monitoring facility has artifacts which make accurate signal monitoring difficult. Conclusion. Out of the box the K3 produces transmit audio which sounds fantastic. I believe, however that for DX and contest working more work needs to be done on the TX audio DSP front.

[Elecraft] Mojo
Fellow Crafters, When I initiated the use of the term Mojo as expressed by Elecraft radios way back many years ago, I did not realize what an accurate term it would become. I now have the K1, and K2, and now K3 #316 is alive and well. Unlike the KRX3, KDVR3, KXV3, etc., Mojo is not an option. Included at no charge. Way too much fun. 73, Mike K5NU K1 #64 K2 #381 K3 #316 ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

RE: [Elecraft] K3 waiting time??
Oooh, Andy, What a question. Little do you know, that very topic has caused untold strife and fighting on the list. I believe the answer to your question is no, as in no, nobody can predict how long it will be before your rig is delivered. The great folks at Elecraft excel at radio engineering but have been horribly wrong when it comes to predicting production delays. I ordered my rig in August. They said they'd ship in Dec. Then they said Jan. Now I think it's March. I'm actually expecting it to be in my hands in May but am prepared for them to surprise me as early as March. - Keith N1AS - - K2 5411.ssb.100 - - K3 Wave 3 - -Original Message- Having placed an order for a K3 in mid January, can anyone give me a clue as to approximately what will the delay be between now and delivery might be??

[Elecraft] New to the reflector/100W pa question
Evening all. I'm new to the list so I thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Eric and my call is w8web. I've been licensed since August 1990. I have always been interested in homebrewing, qrp or otherwise, and I have always been a fan of cw. I operate mostly on HF but am looking at checking out vhf and uhf ssb/cw. I have K2 serial number 3948 with the following add ons - the audio filter/clock, the sideband board, the 160 meter option, the noise blanker and the internal ATU. I'm about to order the 100W pa but I want to build it so that the amp is external from the K2. How would I go about doing this. I thought it use to be possible to buy the amp setup internally or externally but I don't see that as an option on elecraft's site. Any help is appreciated. I find that I don't post a lot as I am too busy soaking up the knowledge of others and learning how much there is that I don't know. Well, I have been up for quite awhile and it's almost my bedtime so I will sign for now. As tired as I am I hope all this rambling makes a little sense. 73 - Eric, w8web ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

RE: [Elecraft] New to the reflector/100W pa question
Hi Eric, First, welcome to the list. You will certainly find a wealth of knowledge here. I have done exactly what you are asking and have loved this configuration. The only difference is that I put the KPA100 amp and KAT100 ATU in a separate EC2 enclosure. Lyle, KK7P has a very nice website dedicated to doing this project: http://www.kk7p.com/k2kpa100.html It is full of pictures and very well documented and covers putting just the KPA100 in an EC2 and the KPA100/KAT100 combination. Hope this helps and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. You can contact me off list if you prefer.

[Elecraft] K1...
While waiting for the bugs to be worked out of the K3, I ordered a K1 for 80 and 40 meters. The 80 meter parts are backordered for a week or so, but I have some questions about the rig. Is it not possable to get a 4 band one with 80,40,20,and 15 meters on it? If not, what is the reason? My main reason for getting the K1 is so I can use it in the den to rx some cw for practice, without running off to the ham shack and ignoring my wife. She can watch TV while I copy code with walkman style headphones. I read all the reviews, and they are very good. If I make the tuning range 100kc, will the tuning rate be too fast? The K1 seems very analog (with computer control), and I wonder if it works better in some respects then the K2? I would guess the K1 is free from the odd noise the K2 made at times when tuning, and frequency shifts between filter settings, and maybe the vfo is cleaner then DDS stuff?
