[Elecraft] K3 TXCO for JT65?

2013-03-02 Thread Edward R Cole
I'm guessing the other recommendations were for running JT65HF, 
because if you intend to do JT65B on 2m-eme, I strongly urge you to 
get the TCXO3-1.  The standard TCXO is only 5ppm (+/- 140-Hz on 
10m).  For best operation on 2m-eme one should stay within 20-Hz bw 
(+/- 10-Hz).  The TCXO3-1 provides 0.5ppm and barely makes that 
standard.  For best performance the K3EXREF is best as it keeps you 
at 0.1ppm:  +/- 2-Hz at 28-MHz.

Re: [Elecraft] Anyone try interfacing the KX3 or K3 with the Ten-Tec 418 amp?

2013-03-02 Thread Fred Smith
I looked I'm passing too many $$ per watt for one and I will wait the short
amount of time left for the Elecraft amp to be released very soon. As with
all of their the integration factor means a lot to me I have several amps as
other do. I have a KPA500 for one of my K3's the other has an Alpha if, when
Elecraft decides to build a 2500+w continuous duty cycle legal limit amp I
will have all Elecraft amps till then.

Plus another troubling thing that I have been hearing are some customer
service issues and that concerns me with any company not just a radio
company.

Looks like it would be a good companion to all of my Elecraft QRP
transceivers, should I ever need more power, as well as my other QRP
transceivers.

Has anyone tried one with a K3 or KX3?

Re: [Elecraft] K3 on order

2013-03-02 Thread Fred Smith
Quality is remembered long after the price has been forgotten, junk reminds
you quickly of what you have done.

The base price of a K3/100 is quite cheap for what you get and holds the
value Very Well for a long time if you will check. The base model will
hold its own against most all radios the way you receive it but you can have
the very best made if you desire I have one of each.

I don't know of any, but, I could be wrong. All of the current crop of

[Elecraft] P3 Utility enhancement

2013-03-02 Thread Mike Reublin
I'm using V1.13.2.3 on my Mac. It would be very handy to be able to type a 
changes into the Local folder box and have the utility create it. The box 
allows editing, but changes back to what was there before. 

Currently it's populated with Macintosh HD:Users:Miker:Library:Application 
Support:Elecraft:P3 Firmware:MCU_1.25:. I'd like to be able to change that to 
Macintosh HD:Users:Miker:Library:Application Support:Elecraft:P3 
Firmware:MCU_1.26: and have the new folder created.

I think I recall the Win vers of the K3 util does that.

Went to your web site someone misinformed you about the general coverage
receiver it Does Not take up and extra space nor does have to be removed
to install everything.

What you were thinking is the sub-receiver and yes it does go in on the top
almost, there is the 2m module in there also. So install that GC receiver
and do all the SWL you desire, I do also and love it enjoy your new K3.

I did not mention a price and that was intentional for all the obvious

Are you using isolation transformers (galvanic isolators) between the

That may help.  The alternative to galvanic isolators is to tie the 
grounds of both the KX3 and the computer together with heavy wire (or 
copper braid)  Be certain that the power supply to the KX3 is included 
in this bonding - the bonding should be from each device to a single 
point ground.


Yes, I know that laptops with plastic cases are difficult to find a 
good place to connect the bonding strap - in that case, the galvanic 
isolation is the easiest solution.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 Assembly problems/Info 080 Message

2013-03-02 Thread Don Wilhelm

Tom,

RF Board U1 should not get hot.  Make sure it is oriented correctly.  
The notch goes toward the left side panel.

If you plugged it in backwards, cross your fingers that it is still OK.

Error 080 is an indication that the main microprocessor cannot 
communicate with other microprocessors in the system over the single 
line AUXBUS signal.  In the bare K2 there are 2 microprocessors - 
Control Board U6 is the main one and RF board U1 is the other.


For the LO BATT message, make certain you have the jumper on the 3 pin 
header at the top of the Control Board plugged for INT (to the left as 
you look down on it).


As for the garbled display, first get rid of the INFO 080 messages, and 
then tackle that one.  Peer under the LCD display to see if pin 1 of 
Front Panel U1 was soldered.  If it was not, cut away a bit of the lower 
part on socket corner to expose the pin and solder it from the top.


With all those problems, I am wondering about the quality of your 
soldering.  Compare your solder connections with the diagrams in the 
soldering tutorial that you can download from the Elecraft website. You 
need enough heat on both the component leads and the solder pads to make 
the solder flow out to an almost invisible edge.  Any solder fillet 
should be concave.  If it is convex, either too much solder was applied 
or the solder did not flow adequately into the thru-plated hole.

Re: [Elecraft] Cannot Change bands with Ham Radio Deluxe

2013-03-02 Thread KD8NNU

If you make that change, I think you may have a problem with running split.

However, with the new release of HRD this problem was cured in the CAT 
commands so you do not need to change this setting on the K3.


I wish I could exactly remember what the issue was but I needed to change it 
back to the default in order for my K3 to work the way I wanted to operate.

In your config menu on the K3, go to VFO IND and set to yes. That

You need to know what HRD is sending to the K3 to diagnose the problem.

The SPLIT cancel commands for MACRO 2:  Label = NOSPLIT  commands =

Re: [Elecraft] Cannot Change bands with Ham Radio Deluxe

2013-03-02 Thread K5HM
Don, 

Before I changed the VFO setting, I was having the same issue with N1MM and
HRD 5.24.  After setting VFO IND to Yes, I had no problems getting the K3 to
change bands from the spot map  in either system.  

With N1MM, I had no problem running split in the DX contest last night after
the change.  Haven't tried it yet with HRD 5.24 but expect that it will work
the same.

If you make that change, I think you may have a problem with running split.

However, with the new release of HRD this problem was cured in the CAT 
commands so you do not need to change this setting on the K3.

I wish I could exactly remember what the issue was but I needed to change it

back to the default in order for my K3 to work the way I wanted to operate.

Is this the problem:

and then applying the correction in the next email in the thread.

In your config menu on the K3, go to VFO IND and set to yes. That
should fix the problem.

 Has to be with HRD.  Have three other logging programs here and all work
 fine.  Have you backed up a HRD version?  Has HRD ever worked for you?
 Have you tried other logging programs?

 You need to know what HRD is sending to the K3 to diagnose the problem.

[Elecraft] Buying a KRX3 - Filter selection help needed!

2013-03-02 Thread Jeff Hall
Hi everyone,

I need advice on picking filters for a KRX3.

I currently have the following filters in my K3:


2.7 kHz 5 pole
1.8 kHz 8 pole
400 Hz  8 pole

Should I put the same filters in the KRX3? At this time, I don't have the 
capability to take advantage of diversity receive.  It's been a while since I 
researched filters, but if I recall, it is only the 5-pole that has an offset 
that needs to be matched, correct?  Is it overkill to add the other two 8-pole 
filters if I'm just using the KRX3 to chase DX working split?

Thanks!

Re: [Elecraft] Buying a KRX3 - Filter selection help needed!

2013-03-02 Thread Don Wilhelm

Jeff,

Working split, you will be listening to the 'pack' with the subRX,
Since your interest does not include diversity, I would suggest that you 
install the width filter for CW that will provide the most benefit in 
separating the 'pack' so you can tell who the DX is working.


On that basis, you might want to put the 250 Hz in the sub,  You could 
also move the 1.8 to the sub for narrow SSB capability.
However, if you think you will ever use diversity, match the filters in 
the main.
Given the wide width of the 2.7 filter, you can cheat (rather than 
matching the offset) by telling the K3 that the filter offset is the 
average of the two offsets.  You could not do that with narrow filters, 
but it works OK at wider widths.

The KRX3 comes with a 2.7 KHz filter ... you can get by by splitting
the difference in the offset between the 2.7 in your K3 and the new
2.7 in the KRX3.

Since you are used to the 400 Hz for CW and possibly RTTY, I'd put one
in the KRX2 but you can probably get by without the second 1.8 KHz
filter - particularly since you do not intend to do any diversity
receive.

Re: [Elecraft] 100 W into K3

2013-03-02 Thread iain macdonnell - N6ML
There are various PIN diodes that can be damaged. Here's what support
suggested (in the past) to begin troubleshooting:

If the rig has a KXV3 option installed, PIN diode D5 will be damaged
by high levels of RF coming into the receiver (more than about 2w).
This would affect both the main and sub when the antenna is shared.

Remove the KXV3 and jumper across J66 pins 8-10, and 13-15 and see if
the sensitivity returns. If so, D5 needs replaced or the entire KXV3
if you are not able to replace the tiny SMD D5.

If only the main is affected, it would be D25 on the RF board near the
little stop band filter board.

It could also be the larger PIN diodes on the RF board or the KPA3 if
a lot of power or a big lightning strike caused the damaged. See if
the signals get strong with the Power knob below 12w so the KPA3 PIN
diodes are not in the signal path.

73/GL!

Re: [Elecraft] K3 on order

2013-03-02 Thread Bill Clarke
I have had my K3 for about a year now. There have been some teething 
pains and I have been vocal about it. However, that said - my K3 is, 
without a doubt, the best rig I have owned in well over 50 years of 
operating.


The ability to customize the rig to be your own makes it very desirable 
- so many settings to tinker with. The break-in keying is to die for. 
Hands down - the best I have ever used. The DSP seems to be able to 
handle most any challenge.


I added the P3 and really enjoy it - shows what is going on up and down 
the band. I have various filters, the SWL board, and the tuner. I spend 
most of my time on 75 and 40 rag chewing and netting - QRM is NEVER an 
issue with the K3.


I use HRD (old free version) for much of the rig control and am building 
a small desktop VFO control for easier feet on the desk tuning.


The K3 will probably be my last rig - nice to finish with the very best.

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

2013-03-02 Thread kevinr

Good Evening,
   I have been out moving wood uphill and have found it is truly not 
the heat but the humidity.  For the last month the dewpoint and the 
temperature have been either the same or quite close. This means the fog 
gets dense and the humidity approaches 100%. Even at 40 degrees moving 
wood uphill creates heat which does not dissipate well in the moist 
air.  Any dry wood I have under cover equilibrates to a new moisture 
level.  It is best to bring the wood in days before it is burned.


   Propagation has been up and down all week.  One day a great S5 
signal.  The next day there is no one to be heard.  The sun has been 
active but I cannot account for the differences in propagation from day 
to day.  We are getting more sun each day, here in the Northern 
Hemisphere, but one would think that variation would be a steady, 
seasonal change instead of on again off again signals.


Please join us tomorrow afternoon and evening.

1) Hail signs  (first letter or two of the suffix of your call)
2) NCS help  (as well as QSP/QNP relay help)

Sunday 2300z (Sunday 3 PM PST) 14050 kHz

Re: [Elecraft] OT - Titanic II 2016 ...and CW?

2013-03-02 Thread Rick Dettinger
Actually, it was spark that played a role, and we probably won't hear that from 
the Titanic II, since it hasn't been legal on the air since 1938.  
CW was still at least a decade off, though the date seems to be elusive.  
Spark was still the mode used in 1920 for ships at sea, as chronicled in the 
novel The Nymph and the Lamp, by Thomas Raddall, a good read.   
And, yes, it would be nice if Morse Code could be heard from the Titanic II, in 
any mode.

Re: [Elecraft] OT - Titanic II 2016 ...and CW?

2013-03-02 Thread stan levandowski
My own research done for a recent club presentation suggested that Spark 
was dead around 1920 for commercial purposes as a result of Lee 
DeForest's vacuum tube which ushered in the age of CW.  I also found 
several references to spark having been outlawed for use on the ham 
bands in 1923-1924.  By the late 1920s the only spark transmitters still 
in operation were legacy units on naval vessels.  What I wasn't able to 
determine is if the term naval meant Navy or Merchant or both.  In 
any case, my point is the Titanic sent CQD and later SOS using Morse 
Code.  73, Stan WB2LQF

I am no historian, but a Google search turns up many pages on this
topic. Here's a typical one with its versions of the answers to
questions of transmitter type and code used:

 BTW I have heard of Continental code but do not know how it differs
from the Morse we use.

Tony, here is a link to an article and if you page down one or two 
pages, you'll see the three code variants all nicely lined up to 
compare.

For a bit more information on Titanic II, go to 
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/clive-palmer-launches-titanic-plan/story-e6frg6so-1226586501589


Perhaps people could write to Mr Palmer at his company, Mineralogy Pty 
Ltd using their website form at http://www.mineralogy.com.au/form.html 
urging the inclusion of a CW operator in the Titanic II ship's crew.  
The cost would be chickenfeed to him.
