Re: [Elecraft] [K3] [P3] IF Out / IF In Cable
Wrong use of 75/50 ohm cables is a cause of unreliability on scopes: they're made for 75ohm connectors and if you plug in a 50ohm plug is will eventually splay the centre contact and cause intermittency.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] [P3] IF Out / IF In Cable
There seems to be confusion over 50/75 ohm connector mechanical compatibility. 50 and 75 ohm N connectors are not mechanically compatible as the center pins are different diameter--50 ohm has larger pin diameter. Over time, a 50 ohm N male connector can damage the 50 ohm female N and a 75 ohm N male may not make reliable contact with the 75 ohm female N. However, everything I can find in terms of published dimensions, specifications and measured diameters says that BNC pins are of identical diameter in 50 and 75 ohm variants. The difference in impedance seems to be handled in the dielectric dimensions and material. Many HP 75 ohm BNC connectors, for example, have no plastic dielectric at all in the female version--the center socket fingers have nothing supporting them but air. It may be that in ye olde days of the early 1940's when the BNC was invented pin diameters differed, but if that was the case then, it seems to have vanished in the last few decades.

[Elecraft] MIL-STD 348B BNC Dimensions
MIL-STD 348B (3 Feb 2009 edition) contains the reference dimensions for RF connectors meeting US military specifications. The center pin diameter for 50 and 75 ohm BNC male connectors are defined in figures 16 and 85 respectively. In both drawings, dimension D is the pin diameter and is (min) 0.052 [1.32mm] / (max) 0.054 [1.37mm] diameter in both Figures 16 and 85. In the absence of definitive information to the contrary, this should remove any doubt that 50 and 75 ohm BNC center pin diameters are identical, at least if they are made according to MIL-STD 348B. Some offshore manufacturers seem to regard specifications are advisory, not mandatory, of course.

There are times when 75 ohm cable is preferred, regardless of the rated load impedance of the rig or power amp. A high dipole (as a fraction of a wavelength) is a closer match to 75 ohm cable than to 50 ohm cable. Excess loss in the coax due to mismatch is determined by the match between the antenna and the line, NOT between the rig and the coax, although some matching may be required at the rig to keep the output stage happy and transfer full power to the load. In addition, because the current in 75 ohm coax is one third lower for the same transmit power as in 50 ohm coax, 75 ohm coax of equivalent size and construction typically has a bit less loss than 50 ohm coax. The 80/75M band has a bandwidth of nearly 10%, so 75 ohm coax provides lower SWR on a high dipole over a greater bandwidth. Yes, it's wise to be aware of cable impedance so that we're not generating mismatches by inserting cable of the wrong impedance, but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. :) I use mostly 50 ohm coax, but have at least 300 ft of Belden 8213 feeding my two high 80/40 dipoles, and several resonant lengths of CATV hard line feeding my 20M and 15M yagis. There are also some really neat broadband matching tricks that one can play with resonant lengths of 75 ohm cable. I'll be talking about that at Pacificon Antenna Forum next month. 73, Jim K9YC __ 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] [KX3] KXPD3
Hi Robert, I posted two updates, one just after I got the KXPD3 upgrade kit and another after I'd used it for a couple of days. These were posted on the KX3 group (join if you are not there already, most of the KX3 talk goes on there). Anyway, for those of you who haven't seen it, I'm copying the two updates below: Hi all, I received the field tester upgrade kit this morning. It took about 10 minutes to install. The only problem was the size of the screw hole in the PCB was a bit tight, but I didn't need to drill as long as I carefully tightened each of the mounting bolts one turn at a time (this is a known problem and will be fixed in the final version). The kit consists of a new PCB with stainless steel fixed contacts, new contact screws with rounded ends, and two alternative springs to choose from with lower tension than the original. I selected the lowest tension spring and set the contact spacing at three quarters of a turn from the inner (fully closed) position. The paddles feel completely different. I tried sending some of the text from the upgrade instructions and didn't have a single missed dit or dah, and both the spring resistance and the crispness of the action is improved by an order of magnitude. I wouldn't say it rivals my Begali Sculpture but it is much closer to that feel than it was before. Now I just hope it stays that way, I guess with a portable rig, dirt on the contacts will be a bigger issue than for a home key, but out of the box, no complaints at all, thanks to everyone at Elecraft, you've done a great job. I did a video of my upgrade, but unfortunately my phone ran out of memory after 5 minutes, so the most interesting bits didn't get recorded. Maybe I'll post it anyway just to show the unboxing and the kit content. WX for the weekend is looking like we're in for a bit of Indian summer, with full sunshine and 27C, so I hope I'll be able to get some outdoor operating done with the KX3, maybe a WFF activation on Sunday. I'll report back after a while and see how it goes. 73, Thomas M0TRN After posting my first impressions just after the upgrade, I've used the upgraded KXPD3 for several real QSO's and I wanted to give an update. My KXPD3 already had the PCB mod performed which had greatly reduced the intermittent contact problem. So I didn't expect the upgrade to make that huge a difference (only compared to the unmodified PCB which was pretty horrid in this respect). But I actually find that the upgrade kit does far more than that. It takes the key and transforms it from a sub-Bencher feel to a near-Begali feel. To get reliable operation on the paddles before, the contact spacing needed to be over 1mm. I think the main reason was the shape of the end of the contact screws. Per the suggestions previously made on this list, I'd tried filing down the ends of the contact screws to get them more rounded, but I hadn't done a very good job at it. The new contact screws are stainless steel and already rounded from the factory. Also the contact posts are now stainless steel as well. Finally, the spring tension was too high for comfortable operation at a very low spacing. So the spacing needed to be at least 1mm or so for the key to be workable. It's probably down to a combination of all the upgraded materials, including the lower tension contact spring, but the key works perfectly now with sub-mm contact spacing. I am using a spacing of about 0.3-0.5mm, which corresponds to about three quarters of a turn of the contact screws, and have locked them in that position. This, in combination with the lowest tension spring, gives an unsurpassed feel that I have only before experienced in my Begali Sculpture. I can now send clean code at 35 WPM with these paddles, something that was unthinkable before. Although most of my QSO's are at 25 WPM, it is nice to be able to send QRQ when the opportunity is there, and that's now possible with the KXPD3. The only thing I am missing slightly is individual tension adjustment of the left and right paddle. Since I use paddles with my left hand (but in a default configuration with dits on the left), I tend to use my Sculpture with a slightly higher spring tension in the left paddle. But in such a tiny key I wouldn't expect that. In short it's now a paddle that works extremely well and where the precision label is 100% justified. To be honest I thought that was stretching it a bit in the original incarnation of the KXPD3. 73, Thomas M0TRN On 18 September 2012 00:26, Robert Vargas (KP4Y) k...@yahoo.com wrote: How did field testing of the KXPD3 paddle upgrade turn out?

[Elecraft] KX3 - Reminder - Special Event Station K2N on Wednesday 19 September
We'll be operating three (3) KX3s from Radio Central aboard the historic USS SLATER (DE-766) on Wednesday 19 September, from 1600 UTC to 2400 UTC. We're calling it the QRP CW DE-Xpedition. Full details, participants, frequencies, QSL info are under callsign K2N at qrzed dot com. We'll be using the SLATER's authentically restored shipboard antennas - one KX3 connected to an 80 foot vertical on the starboard side for 20 meters; one KX3 connected to a 70' vertical on the port side for 17 meters, and one KX3 connected to a 190' long wire running amidships to the fantail for 40 meters. Our counterpoise is a 1200 ton warship sitting in the Hudson River at the Port of Albany, New York. An unexpected surprise was to have Piero Begali ship us four pre-production Adventure paddles to put through their paces - two dual lever iambic versions; two single lever mono versions. I've had the mono version here at my shack for a few days now, for *practice* ;) Sorry but no pictures and no product review from me. It's not my place. Let me just say this: WOW-- its graceful lines, its creative design, its diminunitive size, its sturdy construction, its crisp action, its Begali feel.WOW! It's going to be very,very difficult to say goodbye to this KX3-friendly paddle on Wednesday night. On Thursday morning, I will begin siphoning off dog food money and grocery money so I'll be ready to purchase one when they go into production! Hope to work many of you on Wednesday, 73, Stan WB2LQF www.wb2lqf.com K1#2994 K2# 6980 K3#5244 KX1 #2411 KX3#0325 K9#1 (Cocoa the Chihuahua) __ 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

This is a QRP event using the SLATER'S maritime antennas and a 1X1 call
of K2N. We have some fun, call attention to a historic ship, and call
attention to QRP ham radio operations all at the same time. And we made
up our own QSL card.
Exactly as advertised on qrzed dot com under K2N - truth in
advertising
Where's the problem?

Historic the ship is, but ham radio operating from it is *not*, unless
the
authentic original naval communications equipment is being demonstrated.
