Re: [Elecraft] K3 / SLUSB / CocoaModem
The other issue with the SLUSB audio level setting is that if you use a program like DM780 to watch PSK (several conversations at once) then click on one to use, the actual tones used will change. The audio drive at 1KHz will be different than if you select 1.8KHz so the ALC response may (likely will) be different. Using the native PSK of the K line bypasses this issue but denies your ability to see multiple conversations at once (hoping HRD adds PSK in addition to the FSK they've promised). As for keeping PSK at the 'standard' 25 watts, sometimes I just don't bother making the change in power from my standard 100 watts. If you're running cleanly (not driving so hard as to create IMD), there is no way the other station can tell what your power setting is. The difference between 3-6db of actual power compared to the same amount of antenna gain is negligible; the signal strength will be the same to the other station. If I had more than a simple wire antenna, I might think differently. If the link appears strong, I reduce power, when I remember. PSK is cool that it work pretty well near the noise floor, where power can help. 73 es Merry Christmas, Rick wa6nhc K3, P3, KPA500, KAT500 -Original Message- From: Jim Bennett Looks like I misspoke when I said I could leave the K3's PWR set at 90 and adjust the RF output via the SLUSB.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 / SLUSB / CocoaModem
Jim, Due to the way the K3 controls power, you must ignore the many instances in Data software instructions and other sites on the web which tell you to set the power for maximum and use the audio level to control the power. That just will not work for the K3 (or the K2 for that matter). You must set the audio level to give you 4 bars on the ALC meter with the 5th bar flickering (do that in TEST mode to keep the signal off the air). Then adjust the power knob for the power level you want. To do otherwise will result in "power creep" as the K3 senses that the power level is less than that requested on the power knob and then the K3 increases the drive to attempt to bring the power up to the requested level. 73, Don W3FPR On 12/12/2012 1:53 PM, Jim Bennett wrote: Looks like I misspoke when I said I could leave the K3's PWR set at 90 and adjust the RF output via the SLUSB.

I never had a problem with Ebay, but I am very careful. I only accept Paypal and check the seller's rating. If he doesn't have something like 99% and at least a couple dozen ratings, I don't deal. No legitimate Ebay seller wants his rating bashed.. I think problem radios often come from estate sales, and the seller doesn't check them out. There is always the crook out there, but their rating quickly suffers. I am selling the K2 to get a KX3. It is hard for me to sell something I built and that works so well. I love the K2, but the KX3 is more portable, which is the kind of operation I like. I take my K1 to the local coffee shop on a regular basis and clamp my Buddistick to my table outside. Great fun! The K2 doesn't fit in my backpack with my laptop in it. One guy asked me what I was doing, I said "I'm calling the mothership," and he looked up to the sky! LOL. With the K1, I carry three items, a battery, the K1, and my paddles. With the KX3, I'll have only one, using the attached paddles. That also means a Pelican 1200 case Instead of the 1400 I use for my K1... I can also use the KX3 at home like I do my K2. It's quite a bit more money for me, but if I also sell my Icom IC-271A, I'll be getting close ;-) Gil. __ 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] Serial Daisy Chain
Hi Jim, No, the KPA500 can not be daisy chained with the K3/P3 serial connection via these RS-232 ports. The KPA500 serial ports are totally independent functions and are -not- daisy chain In/Out ports. One connects directly to your PC for firmware downloads and control via KPA500 utility. The other is there as a listen only port to pick up band data from other radios, like Kenwood, that do not provide parallel band data for the KPA500 Aux Port. 73, Eric --- www.elecraft.com On 12/12/2012 10:36 AM, Jim Miller wrote: I notice the KPA500 has two serial ports (in/out).

Re: [Elecraft] Selling my K2.
Hi Fred, Sorry to hear about the bad experience on that transaction. I have had one like that as well. Same kind of deal as yours. Not all items on ebay are bad - the majority are legitimate and as described. It has not at all been my experience that "...usually there is a problem with them or they wouldn't be there." Yes, sometimes that is the case, of course. I have purchased numerous radios on ebay and all were exactly as described. Like you said, don't do the money order thing. Credit card via PayPal. Great advice! I use that same method and steer clear of items where they want a money order or there are other "fishy" signs. Regardless, one must carefully read the description, study the pictures, look at the feedback, and then not let desire for an item cloud judgement. Of course, buying from a seller that is well known, or known to you, or frequents reflectors of the character of this one, is certainly the best way, when it is an option. I'm glad that Gil notified us of his ebay listing. Like Ken, I might have missed it otherwise. 73 JP WF4Z On Wed, Dec 12, 2012 at 1:20 PM, Fred Smith wrote: > I make it a point of never buying any radios on eBay usually there is a > problem with them or they wouldn't be there.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 / SLUSB / CocoaModem
Seems like there is some confusion between iMics and iMacs on this thread :-) At any rate since you are already using the SL no need for an iMic at this time. BTW, lately my configuration for RTTY and PSK 31 has been to use Rumlog. It uses the internal FSK function of the K3 and when connected up with CCM gives you multiline receive. Doing it this way requires only a receive line from the Line out and on my mini the input is stereo so I can watch both receivers in an RTTY pile up with CCM's dual receiver mode. I also use the P3SVGA set up for a lot of RTTY and what little PSK31 I do. Either way I don't have to think about audio drive so it makes for it a quick set up. Something else to play with when you have some time.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 / SLUSB / CocoaModem
Jim, Just make sure when adjusting the power your ALC reading on the K3 must show 4 bars of ALC with the 5th bar just flashing. This is counter intuitive based on other rigs but a necessity for the K3. If you are using the line in gain or the TX control on the SLUSB to regulate power you may be changing the ALC levels. 73 Greg AB7R On 12/12/12, Jim Bennett wrote: > Guys - thanks for the replies! > > By now you've probably read my post that I got it all working.

Mike, That has been true up to this year. But I believe that the latest iMac has gone over to the single plug system just like the Macbook Air. 73, Oliver W6ODJ On 12 Jan. 2012, at 06:25 AM, Mike Reublin wrote: > An iMic will give you separate in/out audio jacks. > > 73, Mike NF4L > > On Dec 12, 2012, at 2:10 AM, Bill Frantz wrote: > >> On 12/11/12 at 9:14 PM, k6limae...@gmail.com (Rick Prather) wrote: >> >>> Not sure why you feel the need for the SL [SignaLink] with your K3 but >>> that's up to you. >> >> The MacBook Air has only a single audio port.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 / SLUSB / CocoaModem
Guys - thanks for the replies! By now you've probably read my post that I got it all working. As to having the SLUSB, after reading the K3 and KE7X manuals, it just seems that using the external sound card like the SLUSB makes it a little easier. Haven't looked at the iMic, but with the SLUSB, I can leave the K3's RF Power set at 90 watts where I normally have it for CW and control the power out for PSK31 with the SLUSB TX control. PLUS - I had a nice $25 discount coupon from DX Engineering and just couldn't resist getting that SLUSB for the lower price! :-) ALso, I had forgotten about the "Test" mode of the K3 for such purposes - thanks Rick!

An iMic will give you separate in/out audio jacks. 73, Mike NF4L On Dec 12, 2012, at 2:10 AM, Bill Frantz wrote: > On 12/11/12 at 9:14 PM, k6limae...@gmail.com (Rick Prather) wrote: > >> Not sure why you feel the need for the SL [SignaLink] with your K3 but >> that's up to you. > > The MacBook Air has only a single audio port.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - Noise on main RX while tuning second RX - update
Following K3KO's suggestion, I checked the mods on the website, and sure enough, there was one in September 2009 that addressed noise heard on some K3s when tuning. From the description, it did not seem to address noise on the main RX when tuning the sub-RX. Mine does not make noise on the main RX when tuning the main RX, so may not be the same cause. If anyone reads this who was involved in developing that mod, I'd appreciate any comment on the desirability of making the mod in my case. 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the Reverse Beacon Network at http://reversebeacon.net, blog at reversebeacon.blogspot.com.

On 12/11/2012 4:44 PM, Pete Smith N4ZR wrote: Today, I happened to have my K3 with sub-RX on a totally dead 10M band, and I noticed that when actively tuning the sub- RX, there is a noticeable increase in white noise on the main RX. Level is very low, but clearly noticeable on a quiet band. Is this to be expected? __ 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
