[Elecraft] LCD TV Causing RFI

2011-01-29 Thread Brian - N5BCN

Hi,

I have a Samsung 46" LCD TV that is causing RFI on the 20m PSK calling freq
(14.070).

My station setup is a K2 powered by an Alinco DM-330 switcher.  The
interference shows up in the waterfall display; it's about 1000 Hz wide
right on 14.070 (the coincidence is weird), doesn't move, and doesn't show
up anywhere else that I've found thus far.  It's not overwhelming; I can
still decode signals through it.  It vanishes as soon as the TV is turned
off.

The offending TV is not close to the shack: TV is on the first floor, shack
on the second floor (on the opposite side of the house), antenna in the
attic.

The TV is using cable with a DVR.

It's one of those things that I "can live with," but would prefer solving
the problem.  The TV was purchased in Feb 2009, so it's too old to return,
too new to replace.

As always, thanks for any suggestions.

N5BCN - Brian

I am selling both my LP-100 and EMU-0202 with all cables, etc. LP-100 was built 
from kit. Works perfect. EMU-0202 is complete. EMU-0202 has a very small

Asking $150 for the full set. Free shipping USA only.

Re: [Elecraft] [K2] Noise Blanker problem

2011-01-29 Thread Don Wilhelm
  Brian,

A Not Installed indication for any K2 option indicates a problem with 
either that option's microprocessor or a continuity on the AUXBUS 
signal.  Check the soldering, especially at the KNB2 firmware chip pin 
1, as well as the other pins of the firmware chip.

The other possibilities are the 4 MHz resonator or the firmware chip itself.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 APF Problem???

2011-01-29 Thread Vic K2VCO
Make sure that the front panel code is also updated. The proper version for 
4.25 is 1.14. 
Also make sure the proper DSP table is present when you update; it should be 
DTBL0014.HEX. 
If all the versions aren't synchronized you can have problems like you describe.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Firmware 4.25 / MicroHAM / N1MM 11.1.4

2011-01-29 Thread Brian Moran
Thanks to all of the responses. "Dual RX always on" helps with the sub-rx being 
generally left on. However, the VFO-B window was still 'popping' at each CQ, 
and 
with dual-rx-always-on, a noticable 'chunk' is heard in the audio at the 
tx-to-rx transition. Oh, and the VFO-B window was still being displayed with 
buttons having no legends on them. 


With so many configurable features between the K3, N1MM, microham router, etc. 
I 
can understand the assumption of "pebkac" on the part of responders, so I 
continued to try to solve this. I've been using N1MM for a very long time, and 
can usually diagnose it pretty well.

What I did find that solved the 'VFO-B' window popping with no labels issue was 
changing (in the configurer tab) from SO2V to SO1V, saving, sending CQ, then 
immediately switching back to SO2V. 


Let me repeat that: Changing from SO2V to SO1V, then back to SO2V, should (in 
theory) produce no different results. However, it did/does. And for now, it 
solves my issue.

If someone else encounters this issue, perhaps this benign suggestion of 
changing from SO2V to SO1V and back again will help.

Exactly, if "Dual Rx always on" is not set, MM will kill the sub RX AND turn 
off

[Elecraft] K3 APF Problem???

2011-01-29 Thread Jim Harris
Hi Folks,

After watching the progress of APF for a few months I decided it was time to 
upgrade to the latest firmware (4.25) and give it a try.  When pressing the 
DUAL PB there is a LOUD clip and the CW is gone.  Turning the SHIFT control 
products one LOUD clip for each 50 Hz step.  I went to CONFIG and could not 
find DUEL PB to ascertain APF was selected.  Now this gets complicated so 
follow closely.  There is no DUEL PB in the VFO B space between DIGOUT1 and EXT 
ALC as the latest manual (D9 - Pg 55) indicates there should be.  However, when 
EXT ALC is selected APF is show in VFO A.  It appears that in my K3 all values 
in the second column of the manual (displayed in VFO A) beginning with EXT ALC 
is shifted up one entry from the first column of the manual (displayed in VFO 
B).  BTW, turning VFO A knob does change the VFO A display from APF to DUEL PB 
and back again when in EXT ALC.

I have taken a picture and will be happy to display it someplace if anyone is 
interested in seeing it.  

I've read the verbiage on page 35 about APF and there is nothing there that 
seems to help.  Anyone have any ideas or can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Take pride in the USA. 73



Jim, W0EM

[Elecraft] K3: ERR 12V vs current draw

2011-01-29 Thread Ralph Parker
I have come to no conclusions re my earlier posts.
The K3 quit on QSO #3 in the 160 last night, again with the 'ERR 12V'
message, neccesitating a switch to the Pro-3 (my Mk.V is out on loan). Talk
about day and night!

My 'power off' current drain had been back to 0 amps over the last couple
of weeks, but after the ERR 12V shutdown, the 'power off' current was 1.7
amps again. Something is definitely rotten in OZ (no offence to the Danes)!

At least I'll have more details for the K3 Support gang to work with.
I have not yet changed the KPA3/100 pins as they suggested.
I can't see how they would cause the mysterious current drain.

You can use the built-in whip or you can connect an external noise antenna. 
Just don't 
make it resonant or put it too close to the transmitting antenna if you run 
high power!

Re: [Elecraft] [K2] KPA100 "birdie" at 21029

2011-01-29 Thread Geoffrey Mackenzie-Kennedy
Hi Bruce,

During my "Kill Birdie" project with my K2/100 #3255, I found that all of 
the "birdies" which disappear if the KPA100 is *not* in use were caused by 
the fundamental or a harmonic of the KPA100's HV Bias oscillator mixing with 
the fundamental or harmonic of one or more of the other oscillators in the 
K2. Any product of this mixing will be heard as a "birdie" if (1) the 
frequency of the product is "in band" and the receiver is tuned to the same 
frequency, or (2) the frequency of the product is the same as that of a 
spurious response of the receiver when tuned to the frequency at which the 
"birdie" is heard. Of course the product must be strong enough to be heard 
above the noise floor.

Unfortunately I do not have my notes here, but because your "birdie" steps I 
suspect that the PLL Reference oscillator could be part of the mix.

In my K2/100 the HV Bias oscillator signal was getting into the K2's RF 
board via the KPA100's diode TR switch and the ribbon cable.

Because this rural QTH is very quiet I could hear this type of "birdie" on 
different bands, which forced me into repackaging the HV Bias oscillator 
into its own shielded enclosure, which solved my problem.

73,

Geoff

Re: [Elecraft] [K2] KPA100 "birdie" at 21029

2011-01-29 Thread Don Wilhelm
  Bruce,

That is a bit of a mystery.  I just checked a newly built K2/100 and 
could find no instance of any response at all with no antenna connected.

There are no oscillators switched in and out when the KPA100 is active - 
both oscillators in the KPA100 run whether the KPA100 is in-line or 
not.  Have you grounded the crystal cases?  Try varying the 4 MHz 
oscillator capacitor and see if the frequency shifts.  If so, ground the 
crystal case near the bottom to see if that takes care of it - I am 
speculating that some of the oscillator energy could be picked up by the 
T/R switch when the KPA100 is in-line.

The only thing that changes between PA on and off (or with power 
above/below 11 watts) is that the receive signal path flows through the 
T/R switch instead of through the straight-thru path from relay K1 to 
K2.  You might want to check all the components in the T/R switch for 
proper value, diode orientation, and good soldering.  The components 
associated with the T/R switch are shown in the schematic at the top of 
sheet 2.

73,
Don W3FPR

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and MFJ 1026 hookup

2011-01-29 Thread Vic K2VCO
The KXV3 has an RX IN and RX OUT connector. When the K3's RX ANT button is 
pushed, the
line from the K3's t/r switch to the receiver input is connected to the RX OUT 
connector,
and the RX IN connector goes to the the receiver input.

Therefore, you connect a separate noise antenna to the canceler noise antenna 
input, the
canceler's 'transceiver' connector to the KXV3 RX IN connector, and the 
canceler's
'antenna' connector to the KXV3 RX OUT connector.

The result is to pass the already switched receiver input (which ultimately 
goes to the
main antenna) through the canceler into the receiver. You must push the RX ANT 
button on 
the K3 for this to work.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Filter for PSk and RTTY question

2011-01-29 Thread Jack Brabham
Don,

I have the Inrad 8 pole 500hz and also the 8 pole 250.Either is a 
big improvement over the 1.8, which was previously my narrowest filter 
for PSK, RTTY, and CW. The 250 is about the narrowest usable filter 
for RTTY and works great for PSK.   The 500 will support the 500 hz data 
modes like Olivia ,etc., and is a good all around, day to day,  
data/digital/CW filter.

The 500 is very versatile and I use it a lot for casual work, however in 
RTTY contesting I use the 250 almost exclusively.The 250 is also 
particularly good at isolating a weak PSK31 station in the presence of 
"QRO" PSK signals near by.

None of these have any impact on TX bandwidth.On PSK, if you set up 
as recommended with 4 bars of ALC you will have a very clean signal.

[Elecraft] mini coax jumpers (aka TMP cables)

2011-01-29 Thread Barry N1EU
I've got a coupla questions about the mini coax jumpers used in the K3 and
many other radios.  Please see: http://n1eu.com/minicoax.jpg

1. What is the proper name for that connector?
2. Is there any way to extend a cable for test purposes?  Is there a
female-female connector that would join two of these together?

Thanks & 73,
Barry N1EU

Re: [Elecraft] K3: APF effectiveness

2011-01-29 Thread Jim Sheldon
Hey Ralph & Robby,
After all the contest activity on 160 yesterday, after I shut down I had 
trouble getting to sleep because I was hearing all those phantom CW calls for 
several hours before it subsided.  

Seriously I was able to hear stations right on the noise that I would never 
have been able to pull out with the IC-7000 I used to have.  Robby, I 
distinctly remember working you last night and you had a nice clean signal (ref 
your other post on audio distortion).  It must have been just on receive.  I 
didn't notice that problem here and there were many-many S9+20 and bigger 
signals showing on the P3 and I had the span set to 6KHz (3-C+3).

Another plus for the K3/P3, was able to find those weak stations in between the 
+20 guys and work them thanks to the super selectivity of the K3.  400 Hz 8 
pole filter is sufficient to keep out the adjacent frequency strong signals 
even from an Alpha 9500 running 1K+ less than 5 blocks from me.  Never even 
knew he was in the contest until I rolled across him.  Centered up, he bloomed 
the P3's trace up pretty wide, but I could still copy S3 to S5 signals within 
1KHz either side of him without any IMD problems.  Couldn't see the weaker 
signals on the P3 due to his overload, but had no trouble working them.

Additional info:

The "birdie" also goes away when the power setting is clicked below
11 watts.

[Elecraft] [K2] KPA100 "birdie" at 21029

2011-01-29 Thread K1FFX

My recently completed KPA100 has a "birdie" (not sure if that's the right
word) on
15 meters.  If I set "PA" to "OFF", it goes away.  Unlike the birdie
reported at 
3589 khz, through which I can tune smoothly, this one appears as "steps":
21029.00  not heard
21029.01  high tone
21029.02  mid tone
21029.03  low tone
21029.04  not heard

Ideas?

Thanks a lot -

Bruce

Re: [Elecraft] [k3] Audio distortion on strong CW signals - after a while

2011-01-29 Thread Robby.VY2SS

I noticed this for the first time in the 160M contest last night. It almost
sounds like aurora or a faulty relay at the transmit station. I switch to
the RX ant and everything was fine. I used my beverage a lot even to the USA
because of this. I found that when I had a chance to reboot the K3 the
problem was gone for a while. 

Could it be one of those COR gadgets reacting to the huge signals in the
contest.

[Elecraft] K3 and MFJ 1026 hookup

2011-01-29 Thread Mike Weir

Good morning, 
I have read some posts on using the KXV3A's Rec out and Rec in ports along side 
the MFJ 1026 noise canceling unit. There is a relay that activates during 
transmit and receive in the K3. Apparently the MFJ's T/R switching is not good 
as the KXV3A's. Just wanted to know the exact cabling that is used to 
accomplish this?? 
Thanks very much for your time
Mike
