[Elecraft] Speaking of comprehensive owners manuals – Check out the new K3 manual by KE7X
As Don, W3FPR has just suggested, a comprehensive owners manual for the K2 would be nice to have. As a model, the newly released “The Elecraft K3” Design, Configuration, and Operation by Fred Cady, KE7X is a great example to follow. Fred did a great job and should be and bought by all K3 owners. It covers the P3 too. It contains lots of graphics diagrams and schematics plus its 288 pages is bound just like the Elecraft manual I bought my copy through Lulu.com and received it here in Maine via regular mail in just 4 days. Thank you Fred.

Re: [Elecraft] Pileups and the KPA500
I worked them on cw, 17 meters, using a 3 el steppir at 36 feet. I have the sub recvr, so I was able to track his method of operations and had no problem working him. However, on RTTY, that's been another story. Actually, have no way (or haven't figured out a way) to copy RTTY on the sub. Actually, since I have the 1 contact that I need, I'm going to wait till next week and try to work them on some of the other bands. To add a little bit about the KPA500 at this station. Anything else that I have heard I have worked since I got the amp. I'm very happy with the product.

Re: [Elecraft] Pileups and the KPA500
If you're using MMTTY for RTTY, it's easy to copy RTTY on the subreceiver. Install a separate copy /instance in a folder separate from the initial installation. Run a stereo cable from LINE OUT to the sound card and set the main receiver's MMTTY to use the left channel and the subreceiver's MMTTY to use right channel. The info has been described here and also on the RTTY reflector, I think. The same approach can be used with hardware TUs or other programs - a separate decoder for the subreceiver. If you're using the built-in decoder in the K3 to copy RTTY, I don't think there's a way to use it with the subreceiver. That decoder is handy, in my opinion, but can't match MMTTY or whatever. I find the P3 helpful for working split, including on RTTY. I was probably just lucky, but I worked them on 15M RTTY on the first call.

Bob, One kluge is to set L-MIX-R to Ab Ab and LIN OUT = Phones You'll get both the main and sub audio on one channel. It does require riding the main/sub AF gain control at times. I use this with my DXP38 TNC. One can usually ID the station being worked by copying the 5nn they send by ear anyhow.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 DSP
The KX3 will have the same WIDTH range as the K3 (down to 50 Hz). It will also have an APF filter function (audio peaking filter) for CW, with a dedicated switch to turn APF on/off. APF is especially useful for a low-power radio that may find its way into QRP contests, where many CW signals are right at the noise level.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 on 240 VAC in the USA?
I use top run 600w with my 2m-8877 running on a HV PS that ran on 120vac. As I recall voltage drop was about 5vac, but my house is wired with 12ga wiring. When I switched to a bigger PS that could provide enough to run 1.5kW on the 8877 I ran 240vac to the shack using about 35 foot of 8-4 wiring (3-8ga plus safety ground). I decided on using twist-lock receptacles and plugs. All the material was bought at Home Depot. I am now in process of wiring in a transfer switch at my meter to permanently connect my 6500w Honda standby generator. The generator takes a four-prong twist lock plug. BTW my line runs 244vac unloaded and 242vac when key-down with 1400w CW. I added two 120vac circuits to run some other power supplies from the new 240v power feed (I installed a 40A load box in the shack with one 240v-20A and two 120v-20A breakers). Now I wil have to add another 240v outlet to run a 50v-50A switching PS for my 1100w 6m PA. 73, Ed - KL7UW, WD2XSH/45 == BP40IQ 500 KHz - 10-GHz www.kl7uw.com EME: 50-1.1kw?, 144-1.4kw, 432-100w, 1296-60w, 3400-?

Re: [Elecraft] k3 WWV
FWIW, I try and use 10 MHz as a last resort for zero-beat. The house is filled with 10 MHz clocks from various electronic appliances, all of them being nowhere near WWV accuracy so it can make zero beat adjustments difficult, depending on the incoming signal strength. However, when I make a check, it's when the K3 is on the 30m band. Because of potential interference issues, including my own GPS-DO, I prefer to use CHU since they transmit at odd carrier frequencies that are not as subject to interference from nearby clocked sources. CHU has relatively good coverage down to the southeast, but I also acknowledge that CHU is not heard in many parts of the world.

Re: [Elecraft] [SECC] Mosley TH-3jr Weirdness
Rich, Suggest you look into silicone hose repair tape for the coax connection. Electrical tape tends to unwrap and/or leave a messy residue. This stuff can be found in the garden hose section. It's a bit more expensive, but does a great job. I've wrapped my Steppir Boots with it, great UV protection. NeverSez (sic) or aluminum wiring protection goo found at an electrical supply house will work. There's copper based stuff that is marine grade and used on thing like propeller bolts that will work well too. Wear gloves or have rags around, it's messy and will stain. I wouldn't bother cleaning the whole element, unless you're going to paint them (or powder coat). They'll oxide again. From street level you'll never know either.

[Elecraft] AM
I recently sold all my heavy metal - Valiant II, 51J-4 and CE 200V. I operate AM quite a bit. SO, today I gave the K3-KPA500 its first test on AM. Operated several hours and received glowing reports on the signal quality and modulation from some old timers. Said it sounded like plate modulation? Using a RE-27 microphone. Just wanted to share with the gang. I am very pleased, thank you Elecraft.

Re: [Elecraft] K3: KPA100 Squeal
AB3LS wrote: No go. Hooked the radio up to a gel cel battery and we're still getting the 12Khz junk coming from something and the clicking between TX and RX. I made a longer recording of the 'junk' and posted it. Cycled between TX and RX a few times using the manual TX button on the front. Then finished off with a few dits and dahs. All while in TX Test mode. http://alien.liltechdude.com/files/index.php?dir=Recordings/file=kpa3squealrev2.mp3 Anyone from Elecraft have anything on this? FYI I noticed the same on my #4717 kit (delivered last September). I normally use headphones so I never noticed it before. I believe ~12 kHz was getting into the DSP chain before the LPF mod to the DSP board was done so perhaps that's a clue. BTW I have no switching PS anywhere and this is definitely coming from the K3 itself. This would be VERY annoying to someone with good hearing in a quiet shack. I can minimize it by slight head movement (standing waves) but that's not a good solution. 73, Bill -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-KPA100-Squeal-tp6518460p6634869.html Sent from the Elecraft 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
Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 on 240 VAC in the USA?
I run my KPA500 on 240V and did the cut and replace plug job. The amp works great and the plug is 3 feet from the breaker panel. The only concern I had was having the female end the same as the 120V type cords. I wrapped red tape aroung the power cord on the female side to warn stupid people like me that the voltage was changed on the male side. The amp is a real piece of art! I love it. Great job Elecraft!! - Dan AB3EN -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KPA500-on-240-VAC-in-the-USA-tp6631465p6635066.html Sent from the Elecraft 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] KPA kicking out
Last night and tonight working cw on 40 meter for about half hour the KPA500 kicked out of operate.No respose changing to standby or operate. I had to turn off the amp and the K3 to get it back to normal. Using the aux cable in the K-line setup. Noticed when the amp kicks out the K3 stays at low power. Anyone else have this problem?
