[Elecraft] K3 SN 3757 resistance checks fail ?
Hi K3 friends. I am Ramiro, EA1ABZ. I have almost finished K3 assembly and I have reached resistance checks in page 45 of the assembly manual. The measured resistance in U 12 is 445 omhs, and the manual states that this resistance should be greater than 500 ohms (although in some K3 it may be only slightly greater than 500 ohms). Mi measurement is below 500 ohms. Do you think that I should search for a fault.? U13 resistance is 420 ohms, greater than 150 ohms, as manual says. Thank you very much. __ 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] Propagation
Where is everybody? 40 meters was mostly a wasteland yesterday, and again this morning. I sort of expected to hear a few new K3's coming online, but didn't even hear any old ones! SFI is only 76, so that might explain it, but I've heard more with that indices being lower. I'm developing a new theory--that the sunspot cycle and the economy are in sync! Anyway, Happy New Year!

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] K3 needs survey -- firmware and application software
Hi Wayne: 1. Some of us use the rear speaker jack for headphones to get a bit more volume than is provided by the headphone jacks. If you want to use the internal speaker you have to go behind the radio to unplug the headphones. The SPKR+PHONES choice is not applicable in this situation. Lyle has provided a command line code to increase headphone volume (!66;) but it is not saved through power cycles. It would be nice to have a configuration menu adjustment for the headphones that accomplishes the same thing but is remembered. 2. I would like to see the keyer speed adjustment changed so that it takes 2 encoder pulses for each WPM increase or decrease. When you are keying with your right hand and want to change your speed by 1 WPM it takes a bit of mental skill to simultaneously use your left hand to turn the knob just a tiny bit. I find myself jumping 2 or 3 WPM. Slower knob action might help. 73, Mike K2MK Hi all, As you probably know, we keep a list of firmware features and improvements to be added as time permits. Many of the most-requested changes were made over the past several months, keeping pace with the demands of the fall/winter contest season. (A few that come to mind: switch sequence automation via macros, improved DVR interaction with PTT, main/sub audio mixing, improved NR, lockable transmit controls, and many enhanced remote-control commands.) As we head into 2010, we'd like to refresh the master firmware list based on your input. Items already on the list have priority, of course, but this is a great opportunity to let us know what else is missing or could be improved. Our goal is to make the K3 as easy to use as possible, while providing the advanced features you need for specific operating situations. We're also planning a renewed effort to assist application software developers. If your ideas for improvements involve changes to both K3 firmware and a favorite application, we'll pass it along to the developers and work with them closely. We're making great progress on the P3 Panadapter and other new products. There will be some surprises in 2010 :) 73, Wayne N6KR -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K3-needs-survey-firmware-and-application-software-tp4209832p4218026.html Sent from the [K3] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ 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

Ramiro, Yes, the higher voltage can cause solid state active devices to conduct and give you false resistance readings. 73, Don W3FPR Ramiro Aceves wrote: 2009/12/26 Ramiro Aceves ea1...@gmail.com: Hi K3 friends.

KR2Q sez: As with most other requests, I would suggest that IF this request is considered, that it be made an OPTION on the config menu. As best as I can tell, right now the rate of change is about 8 wpm per 90 degrees of rotation; that's plenty slow for me, but I won't stand in the way of progress for others...as long as it is an user selectable OPTION instead of changed to. In fact, I'd like to go the other way. Have a user selectable option to select the STEP for CW speed: 1, 2 OR 3 wpm per impulse. Maybe including a 0.5 wpm step would solve both of our requests. :-) de Doug KR2Q __ 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] K144XV required filters
One thing that I do not see is the minimum requirement for the FM filter if one wishes to use the K144XV to transmit FM. I assume that I need the FM filter installed on the main board for both transmit and receive. If I want to use the XV to receive FM on the sub then I need a second FM filter installed there. And if I am not interested in FM then I do not need the FM filter in either place as the installed filters will work just fine for SSB, CW, etc. Jim N1NK __ 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 needs survey -- firmware and application software
Fix strange LO/HI CUT interactions. (Or tell me that the way it works is intentional or some limitation of the DSP algorithms used.) Here are some examples of unexpected behavior with FW 3.68 in DATA-A mode. Numbers in parentheses are the values I get on my K3. Not an interaction, but unexpected: In LSB, DATA, DATA-R, CW, and CW-R modes, the LO/HI steps are on x.x5 kHz boundaries (e.g. 0.15, 0.25, 0.35, etc.). In USB mode, they're on x.1x kHz boundaries (e.g. 0.10, 0.20. 0.30, etc.). Set HI=3.05 and LO=0.55. - Now set HI as high as it will go. Note the value (4.20) - Now set HI back to 3.05, and set LO=2.05. - Again set HI as high as it will go. Note the value (3.15) So with LO=0.55, HImax=4.20, but with LO=2.05, HImax=3.15 Set HI=3.05 and LO=0.55 - Now set HI as high as it will go. (4.20) - Now set LO as high as it will go. Note the value (1.05) - Now set HI=3.15 - Now set LO as high as it will go. Note the value (2.05) So with HI=4.20, LOmax=1.05, but with HI=3.15, LOmax=2.05 Set HI=3.05 and LO=0.00. - Now set HI as low as it will go. Note the value (0.75) - Set HI back to 3.05, and set LO=0.25. - Again set HI as low as it will go. Note the value (0.55) So with LO=0.00, HImin=0.75, but with LO=0.25, HImin=0.55 - Bonus: now set LO as low as it will go (0.25) So with HI=0.75+, LOmin=0.00, but with HI=0.55, LOmin=0.25 These anomalies show up in USB and LSB modes as well, but you're not likely to run into them in normal voice situations. Likewise there are similar interactions in CW mode, but I never use LO/HI CUT in CW mode. 73 -- Joe KB8AP On Dec 23, 2009, at 10:02 AM, Wayne Burdick wrote: As we head into 2010, we'd like to refresh the master firmware list based on your input.

But the 1510 have interior dimensions 19.75 x 11.00 x 7.60. The K 3 have 10 x 10 x 4 right? So, is this 1 free (0.50 in each side) enough to protect the radio? I see a hang (I don´t exactly the word) in the side of the K3 to take it. Is this contemplate in the 10 dimension? Or this hand will cover the 11.00 of the 1510 pelican interior and I will not have foam in the sides? I don´t know if I am clear about my doubt about the 1510 case. Maybe another brand/model, carry one with wheels?

Re: [Elecraft] P3 question
As I recall some of the discussions at the Santa Barbara Hamfest, a mouse interface would greatly complicate the design of the P3. The standard computer-to-mouse interface requires a software driver which is not trivial to design and maintain (drivers are written in machine code for a specific processor architecture.) IMO though, It should be possible to design a mouse-like remote to the P3 that emulates the knob and buttons. 73, Fred, AE6IC __ 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 question
Older mice (the ones with mouse balls) used two rotary encoders to sense and count movement in two directions.

[Elecraft] K3: Carry-on Pelican 1510
Hi Jorge: I bought a Pelican 1510 to carry my K3 to VP5. So seems the 1510 with 22.00? x 13.81? x 9.00? is up in the limit. It is designed to be exactly maximum size and still legal to carry on to the plane and fit in the overhead bin. The case is quite heavy, heavier than the K3. But the 1510 have interior dimensions 19.75? x 11.00? x 7.60?. The K3 will only fit in with the rear panel toward the wheels, front panel to the pull-out handle, and you must take the handle off to get it inside. There is only room for very thin foam between the sides of the K3 and the case. There is room at the front/back of the radio for power supply, cables, etc., and good foam to support the radio when you wheel it. The package is quite heavy, so if you have a long walk in the airport, you will want to use the wheels. And many airports have a bumpy floor! When you get to the gate, you can carry it so it doesn't LOOK too heavy :-) I have never had anyone weigh my luggage (except on very small planes). I will not give the case to the airline as checked luggage, because there is not enough foam to protect the radio properly (and the airlines ALWAYS throw your luggage on the ground). If I am going to carry the radio onto the plane again, I would get a case that's not so heavy - it only has to be protected from the other passengers cases, and no bouncing around in flight.

Re: [Elecraft] K3: Carry-on Pelican 1510
If I am going to carry the radio onto the plane again, I would get a case that's not so heavy - it only has to be protected from the other passengers cases, and no bouncing around in flight. I used a shiny alumin[i]um flight case meant for transporting camera and electronics gear, from a local shop. It is 18x13x6 externally. The pluck-out high density foam inside is a fairly tight squeeze for the K3, so it is snug and well supported. Small light enough for hand baggage, and strong enough to risk being put in the hold if the airline people at the gate ever insist it can't go on board. Try your local electronics or camera shops. Much cheaper than a Pelican too. I was surprised to have no problems with it at the airport security scanners travelling from ZL to G to 9L and back, though I did have my amateur license in my carry-on backpack just in case they were curious. Also suits the K2 (instead of, not as well as the K3!), leaving space for Palm paddle, antenna wire, switchmode PSU etc. See my K2 suitcase set at: http://www.g4ifb.com/html/elecraft_k2_k3.html#K2 73 Gary ZL2iFB K3 #2887 K2 #1770 __ 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: Line Out level
Greetings to the group! Quick question: I normally keep the line out set to 5 or 10; I haven't seen the need until now to increase it. I recently discovered a recording utility built in to HRD, and leaving the line out level at 5 or 10 usually results in a low-volume recording. I've fiddled around with the setting and have found that a line output level of 50 is pretty good. However, I just want to make sure that doing so is safe for the K3. I've monitored the audio from the PC, and I haven't noticed any sort of overdrive condition. On the other hand, the manual states that setting the line out to anything above 10 may cause saturation of the KIO3's isolation transformers. Thoughts? Vy 73 and a Happy New Year to all!

Re: [Elecraft] K3: Line Out level
James, You will not hurt the K3, but if the transformers saturate, you will get distortion. As long as the level of distortion is OK to your ears, I would judge everything to be OK. 73, Don W3FPR James Sarte wrote: Greetings to the group!

[Elecraft] PLL Reference Oscillator Question
Hello everyone. I purchased my K2 kit about 4 years ago and as life would have it, I rarely have time to work on the beast except during holidays etc. More time for amateur radio would sure be nice, but I'm not near retirement and for some reason I keep getting pesky bills in the mail. Anyway here is my situation: 1) I am at the Alignment and Test, Part II portion and trying to get through the 4 MHz Oscillator Calibration section. 2) When I take a freq. measurement at TP3 for the PLL with the frequency probe, I get a reading of ~12650, obviously way too high. 3) I inspected parts, soldering etc and cannot find a fault. 4) Decided to do some signal tracing and performed a measurement of the reference oscillator signal on pin 1 of U4. My reading is .51, instead of the expected 0.8-1.8. Vrms. So my question is this: It seems that the 12650 measurement is so high that it may be an indicator that the X1 crystal in the PLL oscillator is defective. However, with the low reading on pin 1 of U4 I'm not so sure about the crystal. Could the increased frequency reading at TP3, cause the voltage drain on the U4 or am I barking up the wrong tree? I've looked through the email archives and haven't found anything quite similar to my issue. I hate to start pulling stuff apart if the crystal is the issue and would like to hear what others think of the problem. Thanks, 73 and Happy Holidays!

http://www.zerobeat.net/mediawiki/index.php/K3_Wiki_at_ZeroBeat.NET Thanks to all for remembering the K3 Wiki website! It is available for contributions and we encourage that greatly. It is true that we require submitted material to have a final approval before a link pointing to newly added pages is entered into an existing page - however - add all the pages you want, instantly, nobody is here to stop you! I have been surprised at the high readership (hit counts), but offers to contribute are next to nil. That's why some of the information is up to two years old. I have to thank Barry N1EU for working so hard in providing the latest most relevant information. I have to apologize for the lack of updates to the K2 wiki, which was created to allow an entry point for K2 users. We have just had nobody to step up on that. Thom LaCosta is footing the bill in the bandwidth for both of these services and believe me this costs $$$ real money. All I have in it is my time. ;-) The bottom line here is that somebody has to write a check each month for our free service on the Zerobeat Web Servers. So here is a call to action - add your page, tell me what it is named or ask me how to add it. I'll give it a VERY loose review just to make sure that there is none of this SPAM content that has been showing up lately, and then will open the page to the readership by adding the link to an existing page. Alternately you can just post a link to the page here on the reflector. Everyone here will see it. Have a great new year and thanks for reading. Don R.

Re: [Elecraft] PLL Reference Oscillator Question
Byron, Don't be too concerned about the 4 MHz oscillator calibration at this point in your assembly process. Once you have completed your K2, you can refine the calibration - see the K2 Dial Calibration article on my website www.w3fpr.com for the rest of the story. Yes, 12650 is higher than the high end of the range should be, but please tell me what the low range is - while in CAL FCTR, tap BAND+ and tell me what the frequency is, then tap BAND- and again tell me what the displayed frequency is. Perhaps I can craft an answer to the possible trouble spots from that information. 73, Don W3FPR Byron Viets wrote: Hello everyone.

I have been reading all the things that owners want and many of them I already have by using TRX manager.

Laurent the owner of TRX Manager is a K3 owner and user and has made it possible to control 95% of all functions with the click of a mouse. I have 8 macro buttons which make it possible to do all kind of splits. a tune up button that turns on a carrier at 5 watts and when I push it again it takes me back to my regular settings and at 40 watts that I use for driving my linear. You dont even have to use the K3 utility to program the Macro. Its all done very easily inside TRX manager. All eight macro buttons can be used in dual mode so that one push performs a function and the second push of the same button can take you back to a different setting. This is not available from the K3 utility. All the menu and config items can be brought up from a list and changed from inside the TRX manager program. Many many other advantages to using this program with the K3 such as memory control etc. Its free for 30 days and it has so many things to offer the K3 user.

[Elecraft] K2 front panel LCD soldering
On page 27, right column of the current K2 construction manual, the revised instructions tell me to place the spacers beside the LCD leads and remove the spacers after soldering. The original instructions tell me to place the LCD leads THROUGH the holes in the spacer. Presumably these spacers are the LCD spacers broken from the RF probe/switch spacer at the beginning of the construction. Why did they change the instructions? What is the advantage?

[Elecraft] [K3] Setting up out-of-band KAT3 Antenna Tuner memories for Shortwave, AM, and non-Ham bands
My KAT3 works fine on the ham bands. And tuning the KAT3's L-network manually should be no problem using the general L/C SET instructions contained (Manual page-55) in the CONFIG menu, for selecting among the many L/C variables. No problem. As readers are aware, the KAT3's auto tune function is non functional (without a transmit signal) on non-ham bands, so tuning the KAT3 must be done manually when receiving outside the ham bands. It'd be nice to use the KAT3 memory feature on the shortwave, AM and other non-ham bands, and hopefully there's an easy way to find the L/C settings for these bands and then save them to memory, so that manual L/C tuning would not be necessary when jumping between shortwave or AM broadcast bands. Before venturing down this road, it'd be great to know how others have set up the out-of-band KAT3 memories. Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Setting-up-out-of-band-KAT3-Antenna-Tuner-memories-for-Shortwave-AM-and-non-Ham-bands-tp4219517p4219517.html Sent from the [K3] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ 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 Digital Mode Settings
Aloha from Hawaii! As this is my first post to this reflector, I suppose I should introduce myself...I'm Dave, K6DCH. QTH Kauai, Hawaii, and I am the satisfied owner/operator of K3 Serial # 3019. :-) I've been reading the various posts recently about how to set up for digital modes using the Data mode on the K3. I have also been reading the other posts about how to set the ACG, the RF gain, etc. A question comes to mind about this: Does the advice on dialing back the RF gain, as tendered on this reflector, apply to when one is running digital? For example, I've recently started playing with Olivia since it is noted for weak signal robustness. Would I run the rig with the RF gain wide open, or would I still dial it back to the point where the S meter just stops flickering? My first instinct is to run with the RF gain more open than that since Olivia communications succeed at signal levels below the noise floor, but I wanted to do something of a sanity check amongst other K3 users to see if I'm thinking about this right or not. I have benefited greatly by reading this reflector and appreciate everyone's contributions.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Digital Mode Settings
Dave, It all depends. The recommendations for adjusting the RF Gain control to just barely hear band noise is aimed at those who are listening to the K3 audio with headphones (or a speaker). Since signals that are below the band noise level cannot usually be copied, there is no sense in listening to the band noise, so backing off the RF gain is a prudent thing to do given these assumptions. That applies to signals that are normally heard with the ear/brain combination. Digital modes can sometimes decode signals that are below the band noise level (and there is no need to listen to the trash on the band with one's ears). If one is receiving a digital signal that has this capability, one would want to set the RF Gain control to a point where some band noise is evident - how much you might ask, and the answer is - how many dB below the ambient noise will result in good copy of the digital signal?. That answer will vary from digital mode to digital mode. 73, Don W3FPR David Herring wrote: Aloha from Hawaii!

Re: [Elecraft] PLL Reference Oscillator Question
Byron, Yes, that prior response may be helpful, but all may not apply to your case - each one is different. To be specific for your problem, first monitor the voltage from RF Board U5 pin 7 while in CAL FCTR mode. When tapping BAND+, the voltage should go to about 4 volts and tapping BAND- should drop the voltage to near zero volts. If that is OK, then move on to U6 pin 1 - tapping BAND+ should produce about 8 volts and BAND- should produce nearly zero volts. Check those conditions first. If those are all OK, then you can move on to the varactor tests, but if there is a problem with the voltages above, get back with me for additional tests and actions. 73, Don W3FPR bviets wrote: Hi Don, Thank you for your response.

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement
Good evening, I was sitting here reading a few Sherlock Holmes stories I had somehow missed over the years while listening to the radio. Soon I would be back at the bench soldering and totally forget about sending this out. So I shall remedy this omission :) Yesterday the sun was shining nicely and the snow was a few inches deep. Even though the temperature was near freezing the white covering remained in the shady areas. So I had my very own White Christmas. However, while hiking around following all the tracks (reading the news) I found a strange crystalline growth much like helictites. Since the snowfall about four days ago the nights have been in the 20s while the days have been within a few degrees of freezing; either above or below. But each morning there has been a dense fog. This must have been what grew my interesting formations. When I scraped them off the underlying stratum was simple corn snow. The fog must have been adding layers to the facets of the corn snow. The propagation this week was rather good. All the solar activity stirred up the ions above our heads and allowed contacts on 15 meters. I did not try 10 meters but there has been chatter about some openings to those who call CQ. Remember: a band is always dead if everyone simply listens. Today, upon checking SpaceWeather, I find the sun is quiet again. No spot on front or back sides but the game is afoot (too much Sherlock here :) and the sun may just keep sporting a few freckles now and then. Luckily the sun was not eaten by dragons at its low point and yesterday folks saw it begin its inexorable movement northward. (I really should not read 19th century literature! But the Gutenberg Project includes only those items which are in the public domain.) Maybe the new year will bring an ever more active sun. That would be very nice. Please join us tomorrow evening. 1) Hail signs (first letter or two of the suffix of your call) 2) NCS help (as well as QSP/QNP relay help) Sunday 2300z (Sunday 3 PM PST) 14050 kHz Monday z (Sunday 4 PM PST) 7045 kHz Stay warm, Kevin.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 front panel LCD soldering
Conrad, The support is not the only issue (although it may make the LCD backlight mounting more sturdy). The problem was that for a period of time, the leads on the backlight assembly from the vendor were too short, and those backlight assemblies with short leads must use the instructions on the errata page this situation has since been corrected with the vendor. If your backlight assembly has leads of a sufficient length to use the spacers and still allow soldering on the solder side of the board, then yes, you can ignore the errata and use the original instructions. In other words, look at the lead length you have with your K2 kit and do what is right. The one thing that is important is to get the backlight assembly LEDs adequately soldered to the pads on the Front Panel board, and spaced up so the backlight assembly fits nicely below the LCD display module. 73, Don W3FPR Conway Yee wrote: On page 27, right column of the current K2 construction manual, the revised instructions tell me to place the spacers beside the LCD leads and remove the spacers after soldering.
