There should be no differince in construction or tuning. The only question would be if the NMC MARS freq's are within the capabilities of the K2. It will tune slightly out of band but not much...

Re: [Elecraft] Portable CW paddles for K2?
I like the Paddlette paddles for portable use with the K2. At home, I use the Elecraft HexKey and a set of Brown Brothers BTL-A paddles. The Paddlettes are similar in design to the Brown Brothers and have a solid feel to them. The newer Paddlettes have stiffer arms than the old ones which is a significant improvement. There is no vertical movement of the arms which helps to keep the solid feel. I used the Palm only once and it felt a touch spongy to me, but it may have been the way that that particular unit was adjusted. Surprisingly, the K9LU Bulldog paddles feel pretty good too. I did not like the Whiterook or MFJ portable paddles. I also have the Black Widow and Scorpion paddles and use them on occasion, but prefer the others.

Re: [Elecraft] KAT3 problem

RE: [Elecraft] K2 vs. K2/100
Hi Brian, As Don stated, if you already have the KIO2, KAT2 and battery options for your K2, then externalizing the KPA100 and KAT100 in an EC2 enclosure makes good sense and is very easy to do. I have my K2 setup in this configuration and it is really easy for me to go from a base station setup to portable by simple unplugging a couple of cables. In my case, I had a K2/100 setup and then decided to split the KPA100 and KAT100 out, so I had to purchase the additional KIO2 card. It makes for a really clean setup in that you use the same AuxIO cable that was assembled with the KAT100 and route it from the KIO2 connector to one of the AuxIO connectors for the KPA100 or KAT100. The routing of the AuxIO signals between the KPA100 and KAT100 are handled internally in the EC2 enclosure. Lyle, KK7P, has a nice webpage describing the split-out process: http://www.kk7p.com/k2kpa100.html The bottom of the page describes process using the KIO2 in the basic K2. The top of the page shows how you can do it without the KIO2. Personally, it seems much cleaner with the KIO2 module. And if this isn't your cup of tea, I've been told by many that it is only a matter of minutes to change out the top covers changing from a K2/100 to a QRP K2. Since the KAT2 and KIO2 modules (and the internal battery option) reside in the top cover, it is simply a matter of exchanging top covers and plugging in the appropriate cables. Either method is pretty simple and is a tribute to Elecraft for not only a fine modular design, but for the mechanics as well. The external KPA100/KAT100 would only require unplugging a couple of cables as opposed to swapping top covers which would require a screwdriver and switching out a couple cables. If you have any questions regarding the external EC2 method, don't hesitate to ask me offline. Sounds like you have a great project going there with your kids. 73, Dave W8FGU -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:elecraft- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Lloyd Sent: Thursday, April 24, 2008 12:33 PM To: Elecraft reflector Subject: [Elecraft] K2 vs. K2/100 We are currently building the KPA-100 for our K2 at the school.

[Elecraft] K3 w/microHam w/HRD?
Hola, Need some help setting up the K3 with microKeyer and HRD. I have the K3 cable (from microHam) going to the MK and then have the Mic cable going to the mic input on the laptop; the soundcard 'out' on the MK goes to the headphone jack on the laptop. I have the Com ports configured according to the MK guide. Com 1 = K3; Com 2=FSK (ptt checked); Com4=CW; Com5=Control (for Win-Test); Com 7= Winkey; Com 8= PTT. I have tested this configuration and it works FB with N1MM and WinTest on SSB and CW. For everyday use and logging, I use HRD. HRD recognizes the K3 with freq readouts and seems to work OK. The problem I have is with the Digital Master 780. I do not get any signals on the waterfall or monitor. I have selected the laptop's sound card and still nothing. Even more baffling is when I 'click' on 'CQ' the computer sends the characters but the K3 only keys up with a steady tone, telling me that the characters are NOT getting to the K3 even though the PTT has activated xmit. I have tried using Rtty, BPSK and keyboard CW; none seem to work. I went to the FAQs and came up with the following for 'No sigs': No Signals If you do not see any signals in the waterfall then follow the steps below: Soundcard Make sure you have selected the correct soundcard. To select the soundcard wither: From the Tools menu select Program Options, then the Soundcard page, or From the View menu select Soundcard, then press Options. Make sure the correct soundcard is selected along with the input source. For some soundcards such as the M-Audio Delta 44 and SignaLink USB you will not see a Source. Do not worry - if a source is not displayed this is because there is only one input source and no way of adjusting the input level, it is fixed. Set the default sample rate to 48 kHz - if not supported DM780 falls back to 8 kHz. Changes are applied immediately, look in the Logfile for any errors. If the soundcard can be started correctly you will see text similar to: 09:21:35 Sound Thread: *** Start Input *** 09:21:35 Sound Thread: Opening Creative Sound Blaster PCI (device ID 2) 09:21:35 Sound Thread: Frequency .: 48kHz 09:21:35 Sound Thread: Buffer size ...: 24576 09:21:35 Sound Thread: Oversampling ..: On */And 'yes' I did get the above Logfile.../. * If you see text similar to the above then you have opened the soundcard for receive. If you still do not see any signals in the waterfall: Look at the soundcard, identify the input source where you have connected your interface. This will usually be Line In (it is better the use Line In rather than Microphone as Line In will have a flat frequency response). In the Soundcard pane (select Soundcard from the View menu) select (*) RX at the bottom of the pane and make sure that the input source is selected - look at the Select button at the top of the pane - this will be depressed. The input source level is adjusted with the slider - make sure this is not set to zero. The Signal Level indicator will show a value greater than zero. You don't need a very strong signal, pretty well anything will do, a value of just 20 is absolutely fine. If the input source is selected, the input slider and the signal level stays at zero then you are not supplying a signal to the soundcard. Try connecting a microphone or some headphone to the input connector on the soundcard. If this produces some noise on the waterfall - anything - then the problem is the interface between the PC and radio. /*Tried all of this...moving cable from mic on back of MK to Soundcard IN. Still no signals nor xmit, other than keying the K3 in RTTY or BPSK.*/ I do not think there is anything wrong with the MK as I used it previously with O II and MMTTY. I have spent about 6 hours fussing with this and going on line to read HRD/MK guides and K3 manual. Is there any suggestions on what maybe I have missed?

RE: [Elecraft] simple iambic paddles
Yes, I wasn't thinking about it, Eric: they are already set up to operate an Iambic keyer. Perhaps dual lever is a more accurate description, but I see them most commonly referred to as Iambic paddles since that's the type of keyer they were originally designed to operate. Since Iambic keyers have become the norm, the simpler style of single-action paddles that cannot support the squeeze action required by Iambic keyers are becoming less common. At one time they dominated the paddle business, but they are still around.

[Elecraft] Issue with K3 and Ham Radio Deluxe
I have been using a beta version of Ham Radio Deluxe with my K3 using a real serial interface (no USB conversion dongle). I enjoy being able to click on DX spots and have the radio automatically switch bands and frequencies to the spot. Something strange though, after a session of looking at the spots I have to power cycle the K3 in order for SSB transmit audio to be intelligible. I had one report that my audio was so narrow that it could not be understood, this was to a local with 20 over S9 signal. My suspicion is that I was transmitting through the 500 Hz CW filter. I don't really know. I formed this opinion because I brought up the filter management utility and reset the SSB transmit mode to the 2.7 KHz filter. It was there originally but when I moved it to the 6 KHz filter and then moved it back to the 2.7 KHz filter the radio performed normally from that point. Today I had the same problem after cycling through some spots and I power cycled the K3 and the radio then performed normally at that point. Nothing changes in the Rx audio path when this issue comes up. I couldn't hazard a guess if this is a K3 issue or a HRD issue. However I remember reading a post here where someone after making changes to configuration settings that the radio needed to be power cycled for the changes to take. This is why I tried the power cycle approach today. Perhaps I cycled through the spots too quickly (I was pretty fast) and the K3 doesn't have enough time to change states before the next command comes in and the K3 ends up in a confused state. Okay, I am hazarding guesses now.

Hi Frank I agree with John, there is no bigger mistake than shying away because of fear or worries. I think there is a cycle to this as in life, you start out a bit rough, get refined then senility hits and then who cares! Really, there are more great operators that will be more than willing to work with you and before you know it you will be one of the guy's that help others.

Re: [Elecraft] simple iambic paddles
Probably not a problem in modern solid-state rigs (and an electronic keyer would be used in any case). However, that might not be a good idea for a hand key in some cases :^) I was thinking the same approach could be used for a single-paddle design by placing the moving part in the center of the loop.

[Elecraft] CW Mistakes
Don't worry about making mistakes, Frank, whether they be procedural or Morse. We've ALL been through those first few QSOs and made plenty of errors. Probably the most common beginner's mistake is to repeat unnecessarily. If someone tells you you're 579, you have a good signal and he's copying you perfectly. No need to send F-r-a-n-k more than once! Most of all, have fun and try to emulate those guys who sound good to you. 73, Norm, W1MO ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

RE: [Elecraft] CW Mistakes
Frank, One of the biggest mistakes I've seen over the years is new operators trying to send too fast, in other words much faster than you can comfortably copy. Most cw operators will try to answer a CQ at (or close to) the speed at which it is sent. If you try to send too fast the other op will most likely answer at that speed which, if it is faster than you can comfortably copy will make for an uneasy qso on your part and tend to make you want to cut it a short, thereby depriving yourself and the other op an opportunity to have a nice ragchew..

[Elecraft] CW mistakes
Well, the biggest mistake I made as a beginner was not knowing all of the usual cw abbreviations. I thought my copying ability was lousy...it wasn't, I just didn't recognize those cw shortcuts. The one that threw me most often was ES (back in Feb 1966) until my elmer stopped by to watch me copy. I apologized for doing a lousy job and he laughed and explained it all to me. I was good at cw, but lousy at comprehending what I was writing down. The other big mistake back then was starting to send before completely throwing the knife switch...but that's doesn't apply any more.

RE: [Elecraft] CW Mistakes
That's not always possible, which is why I consider it the mark of a good operator to tune around the frequency after calling CQ.

RE: [Elecraft] CW Mistakes
Yep, there are no mistakes bigger than: 1) Being afraid to get on. 2) Letting a self-important bad operator discourage you because he/she can't or won't QRS to your speed or tells you that you don't have the skills to get on CW, or to operate on a specific band. (I worked a guy who told me he never used 20 meter CW because he was told by some idiot that it was a expert operator's band and folks there didn't tolerate anything less!) The rule is that the Amateur Bands were created for newbies. That's one reason why we call it Amateur: You don't have to pass a professional competency test to get on the air. Let's turn it around and point out good operating practices. These apply to newbies and OTs alike. (One of the advantages of having been pounding brass for well over half a century is that I have personal experience with both.) 2. Send at the speed at which you can copy well. 3. Within your range, always match the other station's speed. 4. Listen and listen. After CQ, listen all AROUND your frequency, especially if you're near one of the QRP watering holes (e.g. 7030, 7040, 14060, etc.). There are a significant number of crystal controlled rigs out there who can't zero beat you. Also some simple rigs don't compensate for their receive BFO offset, so they're several hundred Hz off their transmitting frequency. And there are those still trying to figure out the controls on their rig ;-) 5. If you missed something, don't be afraid to ask for a repeat. 6. Give HONEST signal reports. If the other guy doesn't like it, he's not worth your time anyway. I get my OT ire up when some guy says my sig is 589 but too weak to copy well! (That's often excused by saying he has a huge QRN level. That's fine, but then the R - readability - is NOT 5. The correct report might be 389 hvy QRN OM. 7. Remember that the T in RST refers to modulation on the station's carrier, not to chirp, clicks or any other aberrations. If present, they deserve separate comment. A station with chirp might have a signal report of 569C meaning a clean tone but chirp. If anything else is amiss please tell the guy in plain text (that's true for phone too). Did you notice that I skipped number 1? That's because it's too important to put anywhere but last: 1. Have fun! Ron AC7AC -Original Message- Before I get on the air.

That's assuming it mostly works. From time to time software releases are broken, sometimes in the packaging process, other times a tidbit of unfinished code enhancement sneaks in. So to catch these errors, software is often released in a process that goes something like: automated build automated install (says done nightly by scripts) - manual install on a single system aka smoke test - a staging release that is distributed to a small group (5-20 people for smaller projects) for a short period of time - a beta release to a wider audience of savvy (power) users, and finally the gold version is released if the process hasn't been terminated by this point in time. Elecraft support doesn't need 600 reports that a bone-headed mistake was made in the FM support for example.

Re: [Elecraft] CW Mistakes
I think Ron has hit quite a few key things below. One of the things I find VERY lacking is, no one has taught some of the newbies to CW the proper protocol of procedures that used to be taught. Exchanges omit a lot of stuff no doubt copying procedures common in contests. A few examples are people calling CQ 5-10 times and DE their callsign once or twice, then repeat this procedure again 1-2 times! Another common thing is after I call a CQ thusly: CQ CQ CQ DE W5TVW W5TVW W5TVW K. I hear someone usually a little off frequency, delayed a bit and among other stations 1-2 khz. away just send: W1ABC. This can be VERY annoying. Is this station calling me? Why didn't he AT LEAST send: W5TVW DE W1ABC K? Stations sending a 3 X 3 CQ call ending in KN! Is this because ARRL saw fit to stop putting this information in the Handbook and make more money selling you another operating manual? They used to publish a concise small booklet with proper CW procedures, the Q code, abbreviations and other niceties for 10-25 cents. Most of the time they would send one to you free if you requested it. It was sort of a Manners etiquette book for the radio amateur. Some of the new band expanded Technician guys are trying their hand at really doing some CW operation. There isn't a plethora of old timers around these days who teach them what's polite and what's impolite. I agree wholeheartedly about people trying to send too fast, skimping on inter word spacing, garbled or badly timed sending and mistakes galore. If you slow these guys down a bit, most of them send very copyable CW without all the mistakes. There are a lot of newer hams out there really trying and I think they should be encouraged to preserve our now ancient art of Morse telegraphywhich is, by the waystill very useful in spite of it's antiquity! 73, Sandy W5TVW - Original Message - From: Ron D'Eau Claire [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Frank MacDonell' [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Friday, April 25, 2008 7:02 PM Subject: RE: [Elecraft] CW Mistakes Yep, there are no mistakes bigger than: 1) Being afraid to get on. 2) Letting a self-important bad operator discourage you because he/she can't or won't QRS to your speed or tells you that you don't have the skills to get on CW, or to operate on a specific band. (I worked a guy who told me he never used 20 meter CW because he was told by some idiot that it was a expert operator's band and folks there didn't tolerate anything less!) The rule is that the Amateur Bands were created for newbies. That's one reason why we call it Amateur: You don't have to pass a professional competency test to get on the air. Let's turn it around and point out good operating practices. These apply to newbies and OTs alike. (One of the advantages of having been pounding brass for well over half a century is that I have personal experience with both.) 2. Send at the speed at which you can copy well. 3. Within your range, always match the other station's speed. 4. Listen and listen. After CQ, listen all AROUND your frequency, especially if you're near one of the QRP watering holes (e.g. 7030, 7040, 14060, etc.). There are a significant number of crystal controlled rigs out there who can't zero beat you. Also some simple rigs don't compensate for their receive BFO offset, so they're several hundred Hz off their transmitting frequency. And there are those still trying to figure out the controls on their rig ;-) 5. If you missed something, don't be afraid to ask for a repeat. 6. Give HONEST signal reports. If the other guy doesn't like it, he's not worth your time anyway. I get my OT ire up when some guy says my sig is 589 but too weak to copy well! (That's often excused by saying he has a huge QRN level. That's fine, but then the R - readability - is NOT 5. The correct report might be 389 hvy QRN OM. 7. Remember that the T in RST refers to modulation on the station's carrier, not to chirp, clicks or any other aberrations. If present, they deserve separate comment. A station with chirp might have a signal report of 569C meaning a clean tone but chirp. If anything else is amiss please tell the guy in plain text (that's true for phone too).

Patience is one thing, but when it's the same old thing over and over it becomes frustrating. At the very least we should have seen an update today. Let me jump in. Eric does the web updates and he is on a long delayed and much deserved vacation until the end of the month. Wayne is at Visalia. The first batch of KRX3 board sets are in fact manufactured and tested. As are the auxiliary DSP boards - the KRX3 has its own dedicated DSP. The special shields were due in a couple of days ago and were delayed slightly because the custom tooling was delayed from the toolmaker. I do not know if this is 2 or 3 days or 5 or 6 days and don't care to guess. I am expecting my shield to be shipped any day now. Once the shields are received, the first batch of KRX3s will be shipped to the field testers so they can look for subtleties in operation that Wayne and I may have missed. Meanwhile, KRX3s will be manufactured and held pending any mods that may arise from the expanded tests. This is to minimize the wait time between the green light from testing and shipment to our customers who have waited too long for this product. The firmware for controlling the KRX3 is complex. It is working well, but it really needs to be hammered on by the field test group to help uncover things that Wayne and I might have overlooked. The manual for installing the KRX3 must be field tested and revised as necessary so you'll be able to install the KRX3 into your K3 with confidence. Once we're confident that all is well, we'll ship. I can state unequivocally that the KRX3 in my K3 is working, and working very well. All modes ( CW, SSB, DATA, AM, FM). All bands (160m - 6m). Audio goes to LINE OUT. If I tune it to a frequency and have the same filter and filter offset selected in both receivers, they are locked. I can, for example, listen to WWV USB on one receiver and LSB on the other and combine the audios (set SPKR=1 and unplug the headphones) and there is no beat between them. I'll be happy to demo it to anyone who lives close enough and wants to come to my shack and see it. Just email me to set up a time. The KRX3 is real and it is coming soon. It is not vaporware. Please, just hold on a little longer... 73, Lyle KK7P ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

Re: [Elecraft] CW Mistakes
Practice a bit with a partner, or a recording device. It is very important to get the spacing between elements, letters, and words correct. A bad fist will not attract as many QSOs as a good one. Sloppy sending, or a fist with too much swing is a genuine pain to copy. A good fist is a thing of beauty that everyone will appreciate.
