[Elecraft] RemoteRig question
I too operate a remote rig arrangement (K3 and K3/0) using a Mac computer. The Remote Rig setup utilities will only work under Windows. I installed Parallels and Windows XP on my iMac to do this. Once set up, for operations purposes, you need not return to Windows again. 73 Hugh EI9KF -- Hugh Bradley, Orthodontist 22 Park St., Dundalk, Co Louth T+ 353 (0) 42-9336517 F + 353 (0) 42-9326777 __ 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] Is the K3 a fun radio to operate ?
I'm late in adding my comments as to fun, as it is after a day at work reading the digest. Ham radio is fun (most of the time) and frustrating at others. I think the K3 has been the best radio I have had and that equals more fun. It was more challenging to get acquainted with at first, and I am still learning more aspects of using it. My radio history: Ocean Hopper + DX35, HQ100, Clegg Interceptor-B, SB-110, TenTec Argonaut, TS-180S, TenTec Scout, FT-840, FT-847+FT-817, ...K3+KX3 (a few other VHF rigs not mentioned) I think in the most part the K3 controls vs menu setting are about right. I sure do not need a button to be pushed by accident when working that last needed contact for such-n-such award and send everything into limbo. Actually that is possible with the K3, as-is, though I am getting better at recognizing what happened and reversing it. The plus is that folks at Elecraft keep making improvements and enhancements via firmware releases so I get a new fun radio to play with after each upgrade. Fun = mastering something new! I had a FT-817 with three layers of menu which was not fun to set up. It has been replaced with the KX3...so much more radio performance on HF. 73, Ed - KL7UW __ 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] K3- simplified remote tuning knob
I have found a cheap and effective answer to the problem that requires no changes to the K3 and no soft in addition to the free version of HRD that I am using. I took a mouse apart and removed the opto-wheel's detent spring. The wheel now spins freely. Although the diameter is small compared to a real tuning knob - I can control the tuning speed from HRD. Works for me. At some point in the future, I may take another mouse apart and remove the optical encoder and build a new frame and enclosure for it - then add a real sized tuning knob to same. However, having the smooth tuning capability along with right and left clicks of the mouse is really convenient.

Re: [Elecraft] Is the K3 a fun radio to operate ?
The K3 has an average number of menu entries for a radio in its class. But we've reduced the need to use the menu in two ways. First, virtually every switch on the K3 has both tap and hold functions. This doubles the number of functions available on the panel. Second, the K3 has up to 10 switches that can be programmed to directly execute menu functions or macros. Of these, up to four are taps and six are holds. Macros are, in effect, fully customizable switches (allowing the operator to define what fun means :) Macros can be created using KX3 Utility and sent to the radio. A single macro can do things like turn on the sub RX, copy VFO A to B, move B up 2 kHz, enter split mode, and set BW to 200 Hz. 73, Wayne N6KR __ 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

Now if we only had some decent labels to stick on those 10 switches Conventional computer labels seem to last a couple weeks before peeling off. Tiny writing isn't my strength so they are cryptic and only marginally readable. M1-M4 require diagonal printing. The other criterion is they have to come off at a desired time without residue. 73 de Brian/K3KO On 1/17/2013 15:26, Wayne Burdick wrote: The K3 has an average number of menu entries for a radio in its class.

[Elecraft] K3 remote VFO (KX3 too, for that matter)
Just as a point of interest, while I have used HRD in the past, I mostly use PSDR-IF with my K3 alongside LP-PAN. But same thing applies to PSDR, NaP3 I expect and HRD. I use a Logitech Evolution MX mouse, which has programmable buttons, but moreover has an accelerating free spinning mouse wheel. The wheel functions normally as all do until you give it a fast spin with a flick of your finger, in which case it starts a rapid scrolling action until you stop the scrolling by touching the spinning wheel. You can run up and down your band frequencies quite quickly. I assigned the buttons to be UP 5 kc or DOWN 5 kc (or 10 etc) as is setup in the PSDR. I think I have a couple buttons set up to do this, on the side of the mouse as well as on the top to the left and right of the wheel. FWIW.

Re: [Elecraft] Is the K3 a fun radio to operate ?
I never even thought of labeling those little switches. I use a yellow sticky pad paper that describes the five different macros I have created and what buttons trigger them. Very simple, easy to update, and right in front of me. My K3 sits on a shelf about 11 inches above the desk top surface and the sticky pad is attached to that shelf and right below the right side where it is obvious and easy to see. I can't even conceive of a better, absolutely programmable, set of labels. Easy to create, easy to edit, easy to destroy with zero damage to the K3. 73, phil, K7PEH On Jan 17, 2013, at 7:39 AM, Brian Alsop als...@nc.rr.com wrote: Now if we only had some decent labels to stick on those 10 switches Conventional computer labels seem to last a couple weeks before peeling off.

[Elecraft] K3 AGC settings for weak signal CW

[Elecraft] K3 and APRS problem
Hi I have a K3 with internal 2 meter unit and USB Navigator with its USB audio codec. It works fine - can use the local repeaters etc; and on HF all the various digital modes. APRS with 'soundmodem' and UIView however does not work on the transmit side. Doesn't work with Win 7, Win 8, or Ubuntu. To clarify - it receives all the other stations fine; I can hear my transmission on other local radios; but a reasonably local station does not get it (hear me)... I have tried the various audio options (line out on K3, audio on USB codec, settings on Navigator, ensuring 'on frequency' and offset corrected to no avail) and different antennas. VERY occasionally ( 1 time out of a 100 or so) - it does make a connection. I must be missing something - because it has worked in the past - but what? Thanks for any new ideas. 73 John VE3NFK -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-and-APRS-problem-tp7568820.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] K3 AGC settings for weak signal CW
Thanks for the explanation and plot. I will try your settings for the slope/threshold. I do run a mast-mount SP-2000 for 2 meters with the internal K144XV, works well together. I have not added a preamp on 6 meters yet. Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2013 16:28:55 + From: als...@nc.rr.com To: chadwasin...@outlook.com Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 AGC settings for weak signal CW Chad, AGC doesn't kick in till way above weak signal on any reasonable values of THR and slope. Of course a mast mounted preamp on 2M would help a lot. One can get by with a back of the rig preamp for 6M. The stock K3 is deaf on 6M. For weak CW signal DXing, I had to add 15 db of low NF preamp gain. Managed to finally finish 6M DXCC last year. The prevailing DXer's are all over the map on where to set the threshold on HF bands. I've decided to set slope/threshold to 12/12 here based upon some measurements. Attached is the curve I generated. The threshold determines where the AGC action starts. The slope is how fast the audio rises with increasing signal above this point. 73 de Brian/K3KO On 1/17/2013 16:15, Chad Wasinger wrote: Would anyone be willing to share their preferred AGC settings for receiving weak cw signals?

Chad, You will be better off setting the AGC parameters to match your operating needs. Go to my website www.w3fpr.com and read the article on Noisy K3 to guilde you.

Re: [Elecraft] RX IQ sound card problems KX3
Tabb, I now have received my KX3 and it's working ok. Took me just part of an evening to assemble it. Of course I did try the HDSDR software and indeed I have the same hum, which is due to ground loops. I also experienced the total lack of image suppression but that turned out to be a bad contact in the 3.5 mm jack plug at the female end of the adapter cable for 3.5 2.5 mm. Thoroughly cleaning the plug solved the problem. Next step will be the isolation. The Softrock mixer has an isolated BNC connector at it's input, therefore did not show this hum problem. 73, Peter - PA0PJE Don Wilhelm schreef: Tabb. You are seeing images.

I have a K3-100 with KIO3 and KXV3, an Ameritron AL-82 amplifier, and a Heath SB-610 RF display scope. The SB-610 is currently able to monitor the K3 and AL-82 outputs during transmit, displaying either the sinusoidal output or an RF Trap. Has anyone used the K3 as an input to the SB-610 on receive? I am interested in: (1) what the necessary IF setup is for the SB-610 (I may have the components for the alternatives); (2) whether the KXV3 rear panel IF output can be used; (3) what the display shows on receive given the way you have set things up (frequency range).

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and Heath SB-610
The SB-610 is not a spectrum scope like the SB-620 so you can't get a panadapter display. I don't know what IF frequency your unit is set up for but you'd probably have to change the tuned circuit to the 8215 kHz (sorry kc :=) IF of the K3. You likely also will need a preamp since I believe the SB-610 was designed to connect to the last IF amplifier of a receiver, not the first IF as in the K3.

[Elecraft] [KAT500] more antennas
Hi all, I apologize if this is a little bit OT, but it isn't really. My remote KAT500 is currently maxed out with a G5RV and two resonant dipoles for 10m and 15m (all working great). I am looking for an easy way to add my 80m resonant dipole to the mix and have decided that building a diplexer that would enable me to share one port for the 10m and 80m antennas should be an easy way to accomplish this. Design programs for these are easy to find and basically tell me that I need two inductors about 1.1-1.2uH. What toroid core should I choose for bulding an efficient inductor like this that would handle at least 500W on 3.8MHz and 28.5MHz?

Re: [Elecraft] Remote power on for k3/0 via remote rig or other
Hi John, I think you meant to say that you want to turn on your remote K3 using a K3/0? If you bought the cable set, then there is a cable included that plugs in between the K3's ACC jack and the RRC's I/O jack. Then all you do is press the power button on your K3/0 at the remote locations and the K3 turns on automatically. It is obvious that the RRC's must be programmed per the manual. 73, Mitch DJ0QN On 17.01.2013 22:44, k7co wrote: I am wanting to remotely turn on my k3/0.

Re: [Elecraft] [KAT500] more antennas
You can usually drive resonant dipoles in parallel without a diplexer. This is how fan dipoles work. The non-resonant ones will present a high impedance, so the power goes to the resonant one. wunder K6WRU On Jan 17, 2013, at 2:26 PM, Robert Friess wrote: Either T130-6 or T130-2 should do nicely. 73, Bob, N6CM On Thu, Jan 17, 2013 at 2:22 PM, ab2tc ab...@arrl.net wrote: Hi all, I apologize if this is a little bit OT, but it isn't really.

Re: [Elecraft] Remote power on for k3/0 via remote rig or other
Empirically, I can say that the K3/0 (at least the one that I tested recently) can be powered on by pulling down pin 8 on its ACC connector, just as a regular K3 can. I don't know if there's any way to remotely turn OFF the K3/0 through the RemoteRig, though, assuming you have it setup so CAT commands get sent to the remote K3.. ~iain / N6ML On Thu, Jan 17, 2013 at 2:35 PM, Mitch Wolfson DJØQN dj...@gmx.net wrote: Hi John, I think you meant to say that you want to turn on your remote K3 using a K3/0?

Re: [Elecraft] P3
They will have to pry the P3 out of my cold, dead, hands. I don't like to think of my age, much less tell it, but I found it easy to set up and program the buttons with time saving operations that I like. I calibrated it with my XG2 so that I can see the actual signal strength on the P3 without needing to turn on my pre-selector or use ABS in the K3. I seldom need to use a menu for anything. When I get bored, there is more I can learn, and program. Eric and Wayne had vision when they planned the pair. I have not seen it mentioned how it displays in real-time without the latency that is seen with computer/screen pan-adapters. I'll bet there is a side by side comparison of such on YouTube.

Re: [Elecraft] P3
Using the P3 to 'look' at the pile-up and setting a frequency to call on IS the single most important benefit of the P3 (for me) and this works a treat. As for 'other' uses I find it uninspiring as I don't have any need for a HD large screen external display. I am portable 24/7 and there IS a limit on 'stuff' I can drag around...:-) The introduction of the Tx 'option' long promised but as yet not spoken about with any clarity IS a great feature (when it arrives) and for me something to look forward too. Don't get me wrong, it IS a typical great product and useful tool!

Re: [Elecraft] P3
As a mostly CW OP chasing DX I find the P3 to be a huge advantage in watching the behavior of the DX OP to determine his likely next move and place my signal accordingly. I got mine when I was still QRP and I credit it with allowing me to achieve DXCC in just three months. I've since added the 100w option and now the KPA500 but being loud doesn't help if you're in the wrong place. With the P3 it's almost like cheating. BTW, loud to me is loud compared to my previous 5W existence. My QTH is in a CCR no antennas neighborhood so my modest antennas lurk in the woods.

[Elecraft] KX3 with KAT500 and KPA500
The KX3 will work fine with the KAT500 without disconnecting anything. If you have set the tuning solutions previously with the K3 it will automatically select the antenna and solution--but not autotune. To use the KPA500 with the KX3 you must disconnect the Elecraft cable carrying band data or it will not bandswitch. I don'think this could be fixed in firmware but it would be really cool if it could. I found it highly amusing to watch my KAT500 switching--and even autuning--with the fleet of boat anchors I used on straight key night. 73 Eric WD6DBM Sent from the metering jack on my Heathkit Twoer __ 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] P3
The P3 is great for contesting and DXing, but I find it very useful for casual operating also. You can instantly see when a band is open. You can find the holes in all the man-made noise on 40 meters, and see how it is moving. You can often identify the type of noise--there are online screen shots to compare the noise with. I used this to identify an ultrasonic pest repeller that my neighbor uses that plagues me on 6m. If you're on at odd times, you can find the one signal on at 3am. You can see if other stations are splattering. You can easily see meteor burns on WSJT meteor scatter, and even stronger signals off the moon. After 38 years of hamming, it only took a week for me to feel naked without it. I am looking forward to the eventual added tx monitoring capability. 73 Eric WD6DBM Sent from the metering jack on my Heathkit Twoer __ 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] (K3) K3 WSPR settings that work for me
Dennis- great summary. I wish I had seen earlier. My trouble with WSPR not changing freqs was due to have an incorrect Handshake setting ( hardware vs. none). My K3/Signalink USB/ all digital programs are now functioning in all aspects. 73 Paul kc2nyu Message: 7 Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2013 15:22:55 -0800 From: Dennis Moore den...@mail4life.net To: Elecraft Reflector elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] K3 WSPR settings that work for me Message-ID: 50f7364f.5080...@mail4life.net Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed There are various discussions both on and off this list about how to set up the K3 with the Signalink USB when using WSPR, but I ran into a problem with the K3 staying in XMIT after sending was complete. Solutions were available online, just none that solved my issue. These settings got my K3 working on WSPR. The setup listed for the K3 and Signalink are also working with RMS Express and DM-780. __ 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] P3
It would be great to see K3 Tx on the P3. However, I continue to be dazzled and appreciative of the P3. I love it and love the small screen next to my K3. Perfect for me and very helpful.
