[Elecraft] NaP3, quisk for KX3
A while ago I asked about panadapter software for the KX3, and if anyone knew of a fix for the center frequency bug in NaP3. The author thinks the bug is in the KX3 firmware, but I don't think so. Someone recommend quisk (for linux), and after several hours and a nice email from the author I got it working. It is very nice, and a bonus is that it runs under linux which is my preferred OS. No center freq bug. The install and configuration can be a bit time-consuming so if you want some assistance please send a private email to me. My (only) home station now is quisk software and a KX3, KPA500, KAT500, and soon (I hope) KXPA100. I am a very happy camper (actually when camping I only use the KX3). cheers, KG0T g...@worstell.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] K1 battery recommendations?
I bought two 12v lithium-ion packs off ebay. They have built-in charge controllers and can accept practically any 12v input. The smaller one is something like 3amp/hr and the larger one is maybe 7amp/hr. The smaller one will keep a K1 or KX1 on the air for many hours. The larger one handles the K2/10 and the KX3 for many hours. I also use them to power my auto-tracking telescopes. They are pretty small and light for the amount of power they hold. Even have on/off switches. For larger power needs, I bought a garden tractor battery on Wal-Mart for $25. I have had enough juice to run 100 watts in the field for an entire day with enough left to run a telescope for 4 or 5 hours. To make an even nicer package, I found some plastic battery boxes on Amazon for $9 that encase the battery and have nice carry strap. I mounted a PowerPole distribution strip on the top with strong double-sided tape. I have a Duracell charger/maintainer I bought for a few bucks from a clearance shelf somewhere that keeps the battery ready to go. I'm not familiar with the R/C batteries But they sound great. I'll have to find one. 73, Doug K0DXV On 5/15/2013 12:12 PM, EricJ wrote: I use the 3-cell lipo batteries that I use for my R/C planes. They are small (~1x1.5x4"), 11.1v @ 30A!

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] Boost Buck 13.8 V Regulator
Hi Glenn, I have purchased both of these DC-DC power converters and have been very happy with them. They both have an adjustable output set voltage and seem to have very good regulation. The only issue is with RFI that they generate. The good news is that they are pretty well shielded in aluminum cases. But their is stil some leakage from the power connections but I have found that attaching good quality ferrite beads on the power connectors to pretty much eliminate this as well. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Low-Ripple-CC-CV-Car-Power-Supply-Module-LED-Driver-DC-DC-8-30V-to-2-16V-80W-/251112762798?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a777cadae http://www.ebay.com/itm/DC-DC-150W-Non-Isolated-Booster-Voltage-Converter-6V-32V-Step-Down-to-0-8V-28V-/260968513486?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cc2ef7fce YMMV and I am sure that their are many other equally fine Regulators out there -- Thanks Jon KG6VDW __ 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] K1 battery recommendations?
Mike, I don't have a K1 but I do have a KX1, KX3, and Norcal 40a. I much prefer Lithium-ion over lead-acid gel cell type. Although it is more expensive, it is far superior (at least as far as I have found). I have two 1x4 (four cell) packs from Buddipole with Lithium Iron Phosphate (nano-phosphate) construction from A123 Systems. This battery provides 13.2 volts (nominal) at 2.3 Ah capacity. This battery can run a 100 watt transmitter for 30 minutes! I use one pack at a time so keep one pack in reserve. This is for portable ops, no hiking, no walking, no bicycling (although, all of that is possible). I think the current cost is $95 but you do need a LIFEPO4 compatible charger. 73, phil, K7PEH On May 15, 2013, at 10:57 AM, Mike Markowski wrote: > For those of you who operate portable regularly, what capacity gel cell and > do you recommend for K1?
