Re: [Elecraft] HD15 Y for splitting K3 ACC
Iain, thanks for this info; finding these with all lines independently run is difficult. Is anyone offering a breakout box for the K3 accessory connector?

[Elecraft] Elecraft P3 Panadapter Sneak Peek this Saturday
We'll have a P3 Panadapter (or two) with us this weekend at the Santa Barbara hamfest. The firmware is still in development, but we'll have working spectral and waterfall displays, etc. The P3 is fully integrated with the K3, and stand-alone (no computer needed). It's the same height and depth as the K3, and about 6 wide -- plenty of extra room inside for a power supply, battery, or other accessories. The display is fast and bright, with a very wide viewing angle. Come check it out if you can.

Re: [Elecraft] K1 with low output on 30,15 meters
Gene wrote: Just purchased a K1 ... Full output on 40 and 20 meters. No output on 30 and 15 meters. That's a bit odd. Normally 40/30m will have problems, or 20/15m due to slightly different signal paths through the filter board for those combos. With good output on 40m and 20m, that says that both paths are good. In addition, 40m is derived from 30m, and 20m from 15m, by trimmer capacitors that get connected across the 30m and 15m trimmers. Can you receive anything on 30m and/or 15m? The MOST LIKELY cause is a bad solder connection between the filter board microcontroller (pins 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9) and the actuating coil of one or more of the band switch latching relays. Relay K2, in particular, would cause exactly the condition that you are seeing if it is not getting a RESET pulse from the microcontroller as you switch to 15m or 30m. You can verify that this is the problem if you can still hear in a separate receiver the 20m crystal oscillating (near 22 MHz) when 15m is selected, and hear the 40m crystal oscillating (near 15 MHz) when 30m is selected. The 30m crystal should be oscillating (near 18 MHz) or the 15m crystal should be oscillating (near 29 MHz) when those bands are selected. Crystal failure could also cause your problem, but it is very unlikely to occur on two bands. There have been almost no reports of filter board crystal failure except for 20m crystals.

[Elecraft] Fwd: [Elecraft_K3] Filter Confusion
Jim... The XTAL filters ARE the roofing filters. Due to the low IF in the K3 it is possible to provide very narrow filters rather than the wide filters in the conventional YaKenIc radios with higher IFs. The ultimate selectivity as determined by the DSP filtering, which is perfectly adequate. Unless you live in an environment or operate in high QRM situations (e.g. contests) you can probably get away with the stock filter for SSB and perhaps the 400 or 500 Hz filter for CW. If you're interested in AM you will need either the 6 or 16 kHz filters. My filters are 2.7, 6, 1000Hz and 500 Hz. I actually have the 400 Hz also but find that I prefer the 500. When you configure the radio you specify which filter is in which slot (up to 5). You can select which filter you want to use by stepping through the choices by using the XFIL button. Also, when you select a bandwidth with the DSP the radio automatically selects the appropriate roofer. Hope this helps. 73, Doug, W6JD K3 #23 K2 #1626 - Forwarded Message - From: Jim Rossell k3...@yahoo.com To: Elecraft K3 elecraft...@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, August 10, 2009 12:35:58 PM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: [Elecraft_K3] Filter Confusion As I read in the owners manual the Xtal filters are the roofing filters.. Also mentioned is the availability of a variable bandwidth filter due to the low IF Freq.. I guess that is from someone else other than Elecraft ??? I expected to see a button marked roofing filter and then select the predefined width ie. 3,6 or 16. Guess thats not the way it is.. I am confused over the roofing filter implementation. Is there a true roofing filter and is there a variable receive bandwidth adjustment for SSB or is everything governed by the 1st IF xtal filter I purchase ?? Sorry if I am not explaining myself well. I plan to order later this week and want to make SURE what I am purchasing. I downloaded and read the assembly and owners manuals but probably missed info. One other item. It seems one needs a dummy load to finish xmit setup. Well I sold mine YEARS ago. Is there a way around my having to purchase one ?

[Elecraft] QSK options inquiry
I ordered a K3 last week. I built my K2 about 8 years ago and operate it daily. I also have a Ten Tec Omni 6+ and a Hercules II amplifier. I enjoy the Ten Tec transceiver and amplifier when used in contests and chasing DX. The purpose of this email is to solicit (direct and reflector) input from the Elecraft community about a new amplifier that I can use with the K2 and K3. I also see that Array Solutions has a QSK box which might be an option. The QSK box from Array Solutions (they call it QSK Master) would be a way to integrate my Elecraft rigs with my Henry amplifier as well as the smaller Hercules II. I have thought about the Acom 1010 but I can not determine from the Internet whether that amplifier really has QSK. I have also considered the smaller 600 to 700 watt Tokyo Hy-power amps. I have not followed the saga of the Elecraft amps so maybe somebody can apprise me of where that has gone. Your advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I love QSK. I realize some do not. 73, Jim W9VNE Cincinnati, Ohio __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] I try again..message from admuin..post is pending..
It's simple to connect the K3 to the TL-922 via ARB. Key relay output from K3 to input of ARB. Output from ARB to Key relay input of TL-922. RF patch from K3 output to TL-922 RF input. That's it. You're good to go. No need to run ALC; the SB-220's can take a lot of abuse and is almost impossible to overdrive with the K3. Just tune with about 20w to 30w drive to begin, then peak at max smoke. Adjust exciter drive power to control final output power. 73 de James K2QI On Tue, Aug 11, 2009 at 2:22 PM, Lars Midtboe lmidt...@yahoo.no wrote: New on reflector and im exited waiting for my K3 :-) and studying manuals...(at work at my ship..home in 2 weeks and will pick up my new K3) Want to use my TL-922 with amp.buffer Arb-704 but hard to understand manuals.

I certainly hope Elecraft decides to implement that capability.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Info!
It sounds very exciting Wayne and something I am certainly going to be looking for. Of course, the display should be as detailed as possible, i.e. better than most of the displays found on radios that feature pan adapters. I don't think I need name them. I will say the panadapter for the flex radio is very nice, but of course it does run via the computer. I don't know whether it will be possible to have one as detailed as that but if it is it surely would be most useful. It also be nice if the K-3 could be controlled through the panadapter with some sort of point and click routine. I do think having an included power supply and speaker would be very useful. It would be easier to cart the whole thing off for work in the field as there would be no need for many boxes and many connecting wires. The idea of having an organic display is interesting -- perhaps it could then grow as needs change. Of course some means would have to be provided to control its growth as it would be rather disconcerting to come into the ham shack some evening to find that the pan adapter has grown to be 10 feet tall and 5 feet wide and is growling at you! Of course, perhaps your organic stuff would not have those characteristics. All joking aside, your ideas sound very exciting and I will look forward to see how they develop and mature.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 Problems
Nick, I cannot comment on the distortion with any certainty (would need more information), but the sudden lack of speaker means that the little plastic lever inside the headphone jack has broken - replacement of the headphone jack is the only known cure. If you want a 'work-around', you can place a jumper wire from the junction of R35 and R36 over to pin 1 of the speaker connector (P5). With that jumper, your speaker will be active all the time unless you put a blank 3.5mm plug into the external speaker jack. It is doubtful that the distortion and the lack of speaker audio are related. 73, Don W3FPR Nick Henwood wrote: Looking for some help please.

[Elecraft] P3 Naysayer
A two-box solution would look neat. Certainly a technological Tour de Force for Elecraft. But the STAR really is a STEREO device. I never use it without SFX turned on. You DO turn your SFX on, don't you? I have a homebrew 2x20W amp and two bookshelf speakers that I use with the K3. So would there be a matching separate speaker cabinet made available? I run my station off a bank of 2V wetcells in series, the kind that provide backup power in a telephone company substation, with a 20A smart charger. I'd have no use for the power supply. So my P3, IF it was offered in the configuration of no audio amp, speaker or power supply would be largely empty. I'm not stupid, I REALIZE that's your problem/choice. But keep in mind that power supplies, audio amps, and speakers approach being commodities, as well as being specialties of their own. And although my batteries are a little odd, there are obviously folks who are running their K3 off an old Astron supply and dreaming of the day they have enough bucks to order the second receiver. And have their own speakers...maybe shared with other rigs. Packing everything into one accessory box violates some of the traditional modularity and expandability of the K3 and create an accessory that tends to exclude those who don't have money to burn?

[Elecraft] P3 and options
I must have missed a lot of the past comments. I know many K3 owners dreamed of a Panadapter, but where did I miss that it should/could/must have an external speaker? I recall reading many informative postings on various speakers, types, quality etc, but I do not recall inclusion with a Panadapter as being mentioned seriously. I would prefer to have a really good and useful Panadapter and be willing to forego a speaker included or as an option as the external speaker arrangement at present is fine by me. There are many different points of view on the reflector and so many of us learn a lot as we read them and enjoy our K3's at the same time, so, it is my hope that the first release of the P3 will be fully developed hardware wise with most of the firmware complete. Future options should/could include such things as internal speaker, keyboard/mouse connections and external display to mention a few. I hope my name is on the waiting list for a P3n and not anywhere near the bottom..:-) Kudos to Elecraft, another great product to look forward to playing with.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 and options
Just thinking out loud here - If the P3 band-scope were set up to occupy one-half of the width of a cabinet that was otherwise the same size as the K3, then perhaps a future gift from Aptos could come in the form of a transmit monitor scope (to monitor a the CW/SSB/AM modulation envelope) that would fill the other half of the enclosure.One of the best options back in the old Heathkit days was to have both the HO-10 and the H0-13 (or their SB series big brothers) sitting side by side. Looked great, and gave useful information to the operator in the form of assurances that the outgoing signal was clean.The monitor scope function could also operate during receive so a person could check the other guy's signal for flat-topping, under and over modulation, etc. Other options for the unused half of the P3 cabinet could include a speaker, a rotor-control / indicator for some of the more popular units, and, as someone already suggested, a small 20 to 30 A switcher that could provide power for the K3 and perhaps a few accessories. Lots of possibilities here. - Jim, KL7CC __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
[Elecraft] K3 sudden power loss
Hi all. Yesterday afternoon my K3 #2887 was merrily transmitting 33% at 5W on 17m for WSPRnet as normal when by chance I noticed the external wattmeter was showing no power out on transmit - none at all, not a squeak. The internal wattmeter is also showing no power out, aside from the first bar permanently lit in TX. The receivers still seem to be working fine. The rig was working OK up to then and has been since mid-April. I wasn't fiddling with any of the settings at the point it packed up, but before anyone asks here are the ten checks I've done so far: 1. I tried sending CW and SSB - neither works. Nor does TUNE, at any power setting. Nor does any other band. 2. I tried using VOX on both semi and full break-in, and PTT - no joy there either. The TX LED lights as expected but no watts escape. 3. I've plugged a 100W dummy load directly into the ANT2 socket, selected ANT2 and tried transmitting, just in case there's some cable or antenna problem. Nope, that's not it. 4. The K3 is not in TEST mode (the TX light is on continous not flashing). I cycled TEST mode on and back off to be real sure. 5. I checked CONFIG: TX INH is off, and again cycled it through the other settings to be sure to be sure. Nope, not that. 6. I tried running the TX gain configuration through K3 Utility: the front panel shows ERR TXG and the K3 Utility reports: Unexpected response DS@@°À; to DS; State 153 Calibration power settled at 0.0 W .; There be gremlins. 7. According to the internal metering, the K3's voltage is reading a steady 13.5V and the current sits at about 1.28A on RX, increasing to about 1.62A when I hit the PTT. No change from that level when I key the paddle or speak into the mike, whether whispering, shouting or swearing. I even tried coaxing it to life, complementing it on the colour of its LCD ... 8. The power setting makes no difference: I've tried from 0 to 100W. I hear the PA relay engage around 12W as normal, and the internal power meter changes between high and low settings as expected. It's just taunting me. 9. The 20A circuit breaker on the PA is in - not that I'd have thought it would prevent the QRP level working at least. 10. I've reloaded *all* the firmware: I was using the latest beta 3.25. Reloaded that, no change. Reloaded an older version 2.78, still no change. What should I try next? I guess I need to pop the lid, look for smoke emitters and poke around at the TX driver and PA stages plus the antenna change over relay and ATU area with a multimeter but havent figured out exactly where to poke yet, nor what I should expect to see on the meter when I do ... I have other radios here and a scope. I guess I could try to trace the TX signal with the K3 set to QRP, fishing around with a wire tail on another radio's antenna socket or the scope input ... Maybe ... What do you think? 73 Gary :-( ZL2iFB __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] P3 Naysayer
I believe that Wayne agrees with you. From what I've seen the power supply in the box is something that one can have or not. I think that it'll probably come as a kit and you'll be able to select what pieces you want This Elecraft after all! ;) I'm in the same boat where all I want out of the P3 is the panadapter. I've got an Astron and a pair of speakers that keep me happy... I await (kinda) patiently for the Panadapter. ~Brett (KC7OTG) On Tue, 2009-08-11 at 19:04 -0600, William Carver wrote: A two-box solution would look neat. Certainly a technological Tour de Force for Elecraft. But the STAR really is a STEREO device. I never use it without SFX turned on. You DO turn your SFX on, don't you? I have a homebrew 2x20W amp and two bookshelf speakers that I use with the K3. So would there be a matching separate speaker cabinet made available? I run my station off a bank of 2V wetcells in series, the kind that provide backup power in a telephone company substation, with a 20A smart charger. I'd have no use for the power supply. So my P3, IF it was offered in the configuration of no audio amp, speaker or power supply would be largely empty. I'm not stupid, I REALIZE that's your problem/choice. But keep in mind that power supplies, audio amps, and speakers approach being commodities, as well as being specialties of their own. And although my batteries are a little odd, there are obviously folks who are running their K3 off an old Astron supply and dreaming of the day they have enough bucks to order the second receiver. And have their own speakers...maybe shared with other rigs. Packing everything into one accessory box violates some of the traditional modularity and expandability of the K3 and create an accessory that tends to exclude those who don't have money to burn?

Re: [Elecraft] P3 ?
One thing to consider - According to the P3 announcement: It's the same height and depth as the K3, and about 6 wide... Which implies, if I'm interpreting this correctly, a max display size of less than 4 x 6. Using LP-PAN and latest PowerSDR I can have a much bigger spectrum display on my 21 monitor. The panafall display is absolutely gorgeous when maximized, and resolution is excellent. The announcement was silent on the size and resolution of the P3 display panel. The LP-PAN/PowerSDR system may offer a substantial advantage in that area.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 ?
Bob, Given that the K3 display is 1x5, this display would be 4x as large. That doesn't seem too small to me. I'm a bit surprized by the size-- particularly the depth. I was hoping for something I could put anywhere. The depth and 6 width strikes me as somewhat excessive for my needs. Desk real estate is always limited. It seems like every piece of equipment has to be at eye level and within easy reach while sitting down.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 ?
Indeed. LP-PAN will continue to be a very cost effective, integrated approach to not only a pan/waterfall display, but also an inexpensive dual receiver with the digital processing and filtering of PowerSDR, point-and-click tuning for VFO A and VFO B, high quality AM with synchronous detector, etc. LP-PAN will continue to be developed on the software side. PowerSDR-IF will very shortly be at the same version level as the official Flex Radio release, and the time and effort that went into the latest rewrite will make it much easier to keep it in step with the Flex releases. Likewise, LP-Bridge will continue to evolve, and there will be a major release to go with PowerSDR-IF v1.19 once it's stable. It remains to be seen what the impact of P3 will be on sales of LP-PAN without seeing the feature set, cost and computer integration flexibility of P3. 73, Larry N8LP Brett Howard wrote: All should remember when the P3 comes out the LP-PAN will not disappear and it will continue to be an option to anyone who would like to continue to use it and/or prefers its operation over that of the P3. ~Brett (KC7OTG) On Tue, 2009-08-11 at 20:01 -0600, Bob Cunnings wrote: One thing to consider - According to the P3 announcement: It's the same height and depth as the K3, and about 6 wide...
