[Elecraft] WriteLog contest software

2010-09-02 Thread ken chandler
Hi

I'm looking at WriteLog for contesting, anyone using this program with  the
K3 using modes CW PSK RTTY   ( not interested in SSB)

Are there any issues in configuring the software!! Also the P3!

 

Perhaps a email off reflector might be more appropriate for this topic!!

 

Thanks

 

Ken..G0ORH..K2, K3, P3

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and WriteLog

2010-09-02 Thread Mike K2MK

Hi Fred,

I must have been the other person. I had written to Steve a few days ago
about being able to send a CW SPOT command (SW42) from a keyboard function
key like F12.  I think it would be great if WriteLog had the ability to
serially send user configurable commands to the K3.

K3 users of WriteLog should write to Steve if they could benefit from this
ability.

Wayne,
 
Nice new look for the WriteLog webpage. I've used WriteLog since 2003 and
 feel comfortable with it. My problem now is I need a way to introduce
 Elecraft K3 Commands from WriteLog. Is there any chance that you could
 add
 a menu option to choose either sound card for voice output as it is now OR
 instead use the function keys to send a text string to the rig to initiate
 the K3DVR? This would be a killer new capability for WriteLog and for
 users
 of the new SDR oriented rigs.

There are some interesting new capabilities in the works for
WriteLog.  I am not at liberty to discuss them here but I
believe when released those capabilities will answer the need
for supporting custom commands (K3 Macros) as well as extending
existing commands to the WriteLog interface.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and WriteLog

2010-09-02 Thread Jim Brown
When I got back on the air in 2003 after a long absence, it was at Field Day 
and our club used WriteLog. I've always been a contester at heart, so I 
bought it and used it for about four years. Then my new Field Day group here 
in CA decided they were using the N1MM Logger, so I downloaded it and started 
using it so I would be proficient on Field Day. 

It wasn't long before I liked N1MM a lot more than WriteLog, and for about 
three years, it's been my primary contest logging software. That decision was 
cast in concrete a year or so ago when I put a new computer in my ham shack 
and tried to install WriteLog on it for guest operators. WriteLog wouldn't 
install, because it was more than a year since I had purchased an upgrade. 
Goodbye WriteLog. 

The primary reasons I like N1MM better are operating features that give me a 
competitive advantage. It also helps that it's free. :)

[Elecraft] Your suggestions for AMP for K2 QRP unit

2010-09-02 Thread dw
Hi All,
The new EC 500 amp coming out will require the KPA-100 PA for K2 users.

I am interested in adding an amp that can run from the K2 without the
KPA-100.
I don't care about QSK, I can switch the amp ON and OFF XMIT manually or
I can build an interface that will switch the amp  from the K2 AUX line.

However, I will be locating the amp in a remote room (not located at in
the shack room) so I will want an amp that I can perhaps build a wired
control for band selections.

It would be better if it does not have a built in tuner.
But since it will be remote, I will need a unit that will not require
direct controling of band switching, tuning etc.

Also, it must be able to output at least 200 watts CW all bands.

Your suggestions very welcome.
Thanks
Duane

[Elecraft] I'm back

2010-09-02 Thread Dale Putnam

I don't want to bother folks, there has been enough of that already. I think 
I've isolated the issue, so the worst is over.
Now, to get back to normal now where is that, anyway? 
 
 
And if I ever... run into a.
well.. never mind... let it be a surprise.
 
I'm back, I apolgize for the scam issues, but on that note.
 
a couple of interesting items... at least to me.
 
My password was hacked,... but in a different manner than I had anticipated, 
(obviously)
H (hacker person) aquired access to my laptop, through Avast, and Windows, and 
wireless firewalls, changed the security parameters on the laptop, made it 
repeat the passwords to him, so when I changed the password, to Hotmail, on 
that machine, H had it also.
  Now, this is from a different machine, the wireless hub has been firewalled 
shut, and there is not much chance for that to happen again, unless H has 
access to this machine, or to Hotmail in another, unanticipated manner. 
 
Thanks for all the well wishing, and good thoughts... 
 
and there is just one other minor thought this never happened on cw. 
ever. 
If I had stayed on the radio it wouldn't have happened either. 
Maybe I'll spend more time building.. and less time emailing.

 WriteLog wouldn't
 install, because it was more than a year since I had purchased 
 an upgrade.

Hmmm.  That doesn't sound right. You should have been able to 
install the full version that you purchased, plus any updates 
with an issue date up to one year later than your purchase date. 
I just installed WL on a new laptop, and I haven't purchased an 
upgrade in several years.

[Elecraft] K3 microKeyer 2 setup

2010-09-02 Thread Bill Henderson

Hi

I'm stuck.

I used to use my microKeyer 2 with my IC756 Pro3. Since selling the Icom I
have  bought the K3 cables and I am now trying to get the microKeyer 2 to
work with my K3. I am using the Proset-K2  Boom Headset For the K3/ K2 (Heil
iC element) which was bought with the radio.

I am only using the headset - I have no other microphone connected.

I have assumed that the headset has electret elements.

I have set up my K3's mike gain. However, when I move the headset to the
back of the microKeyer 2 I can't get any movement on the AGC read out.

Please Help

Re: [Elecraft] WriteLog contest software

2010-09-02 Thread elecraft
I have been using writelog with (multiple) K3 for a while and have been 
pleased with the performance. 

I am even happier now they support SO2V operation more fully with a K3; when 
you decode rtty on the main rx and the sub receiver at the same time (with a 
suitable soundcard) there are now two frequency entry windows and it will 
transmit on the one that has focus. This was a nightmare previously to do

Yes

What adapter are you using between the ProSet K2 and

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Firmware Download Warning [status report]

2010-09-02 Thread Wayne Burdick
We recently had some K3 firmware download issues. We found that these  
have nothing to do with new K3 firmware, so you can safely load new  
revisions at any time.

What happened in most cases was that the P3 interfered with the K3  
firmware load. This will be corrected. For now, please turn your P3  
completely off when loading new K3 firmware. (If you have the P3  
strapped to turn on with the K3, just temporarily unplug its power.)  
Sorry for the temporary inconvenience.

Other download issues had to do with specific combinations of USB-to- 
RS232 adapters, device drivers, and in some cases the Mac version of  
K3 Utility. We're working on that.

Please contact customer support if you're having any sort of firmware  
download problem.

  the Foster to RJ-45 adapter connected to the rear of

  The one that was supplied with the rest of the cables - bought
  new from microHam.

microHAM do not supply an adapter from the 3.5mm mono mic plug
on the ProSet K2 to the RJ-45 jack.  The only adapter is Foster
to RJ-45.  What are you using between the 3.5mm plug and the
Foster?

That adapter is normally an AD-1X where X indicates the brand
of transceiver for which the adapter is wired.  With the K2 or
K3 you *MUST* use the AD-1K (Kenwood) adapter.

  (ii) the jumper on the two pins (EL) of three pins near to the
  EXT MIC

If you have a standard Proset K2/K3, you need to connect the IC
pins or use a 3.5mm mono female to 2.5mm stereo male adapter
between the Proset mic plug and the EXT Mic jack of the MK II.

 The one that was supplied with the rest of the cables - bought new from

[Elecraft] P3 ideas

2010-09-02 Thread Mike Scott
I am enjoying my P3-K3 combination. I find that the second Rx seems more
useful to me now. I used to operate almost all the time in diversity mode.
Now I find that I can do that or what I explain below.

 

One of the ways I am using it is setting the center frequency of VFO A to
7.015 MHZ with a +/- 15 KHz span. Then I operate split.

I tune with VFO B or cursor B to look at signals. My second Rx is on my
vertical, the primary Rx is on an inverted V. So the waterfall is on the
inverted V but I am listening and transmitting on the vertical. I can
reverse the antennas if I wish depending on what works best.

 

Using this method I keep the waterfall/spectrum fixed, no jumping of the
center frequency when I QSY. I know some wished that the spectrum could be
fixed while the Rx tunes within the space. This approach does this with the
limitation that I am limited to operating with the second Rx.

 

It would be useful to be able to have a fixed spectrum center and span and
tune both Rx within the span. Also it would be useful to have one or two
demodulators in the P3 producing audio out for cursor A and B. Okay, now I
would need four speakers.

 

I like that the spectrum display is calibrated (or will be). I would like
the option to be able to switch to an S-meter scale vs. dBm, or maybe dBm
left and S-units on the right.

 

I find that I am adjusting REF LVL often. My background noise level must
move up and down perhaps with band conditions. I can set it just right and
then come back after a period and find the waterfall mostly dark because the
background noise has dropped. My thought is that I would like the P3 to have
a very-long time AGC that auto adjusts the REF LVL to maintain perhaps some
percent speckle rate on the waterfall.

[Elecraft] OT: IARU Region I SSB Field Day this weekend

2010-09-02 Thread Toby Deinhardt
Hi,

this upcoming weekend, Sept. 5th and 6th, from 13.00 UTC to 12.59 UTC, 
the IARU Region I SSB will take place. Please listen for and work as 
many portable stations in Region I as possible.

If you are working in the All Asia contest, Field Day stations will be 
glad, if appropriate, to give you rapports for both contests. And even 
if you are not in Asia, you might be an important multi for the Field 
Day station, so please don't refuse to work non-Asian Region I portable 
stations.

Thank you es vy 73 de toby

PS: I hope to work you during the contest!

[Elecraft] P3 Cursor Position Incorrect After Band change...

2010-09-02 Thread Phil Hystad
On my P3, I notice that the little cyan cursor location does not align itself 
properly during a band change that also involves a mode change.  For example, 
switching from 17 Meter band with USB to 20 Meter band with CW leaves the 
cursor aligned to the right of the center position as it would be for USB but 
not as it should be for the CW signal.  All IF shift controls are in their 
normal position.  Indeed, a power off and power on cycle of the P3 resets the 
cursor location to be correct.

I figure if a power-off/power-on fixes a problem then there probably is a 
problem.

Anyone else seen this same thing?  If it is unique to my P3 maybe I have a very 
special P3 that might be worth a lot of money (sort of like an old stamp with a 
flaw in it).

 Hi Phil - I've been noticing it for a
 while but have just been too busy to comment. I first
 noticed it because the little U (bandwidth on CW) didn't
 center on the vertical indicator. Just using the mode switch
 to switch to ALT and back seems to cure it and it aligns
 where it should. -- Don N4HH

And to the too high poster, I disagree. Elecraft prices are quite

[Elecraft] Hoping for an Elecraft SALE event

2010-09-02 Thread Chris Wagner
Time will tell how prices will change. But Elecraft has a unique position in
the market... While Kenwood lowered their price for the TS-480 SAT for
example over time globally. But then, the K2 and now the K3 gets perpetually
improved and the line gets expanded. Why not
add hundreds of K3 orders before the TS-590 hits the street?

Quick, name the nearest 3 competitors to the K3! Is it a monster transceiver
needing to be drop shipped? Is it a SDR requiring a powerful computer
which has a hungry power supply, thus the opposite of going green? Whatever
it is, it is more expensive AFAIK!

How about a Labor Day Special? Spend $ 1.000 and get 5% off. Buy a K3 and
add ons for $ 1,000 or more and get 10% off? Lots of people have wish lists
with items like a 2nd receiver or a P3 on them. Such an incentive would make
many rush to place their orders.

As we know from marketing 101 you price a product to the market or cost.  
Elecraft is pricing to the market.  We guys are just eating up their products.  
The Asian competition is shooting themselves in the foot at every turn. There 
is some domestic competition, I even own some but..   Their worry 
should be some up-start hungry USA group of guys who can do it faster, 
cheaper, better.
Until then I, like the rest of you guys, will just have to buck up and pay the 
prices
Love my Elecraft [shouldn't say that the prices will go higher!]

Take the bottom three bands in your rig's tx eq and run them down to their

Re: [Elecraft] RTTY and Audio

2010-09-02 Thread Richard Ferch
Hi again Tom,

No, that doesn't sound normal.

What are your DSP filter settings (shift and width), and what is your
Pitch set to in FSK D? Your filter FC should be 85 Hz above the Pitch
setting, and the BW should be 300 Hz or more (250 Hz is usable once a
strong signal is tuned in accurately, but it can be hard to find and tune
signals in with filters this narrow).

Also, do you have the Dual PB filter selected? I'd suggest leaving this
feature turned off to start out.

  Take the bottom three bands in your rig's tx eq and run them down to their 
minimum setting. 

  That alone should get you 90% or more there.

  I run mine like that and everyone seems to like it.

Mic to Rear, Low with Bias.  Mic gain at 25, comp at 25 for starters.  May
need to adjust gain toward 15 if you talk loud.

I really like the CM500.

Me too. 

Another point about setting levels. The CM500 is a pretty hot mic -- 
that is, it puts out a lot of voltage -- so you will want to use the 
LOW setting for mic gain (in the K3 setup menu). 

Once you have done that, AND set the TX EQ as David recommends, THEN 
follow the directions in the K3 manual to set audio levels. The 
executive summary of that is set Display so that it reads ALC and 
compression, use the mic gain to set for a given ALC reading, then set 
Compression to get 10dB of compression as indicated on the front panel 
meter.
