John, What you ask is not possible on the reflector. It is either all or nothing.

I use an off-line reader (Thunderbird in my case) and have filters set up to move mails that have a type in the message's subject to move to a specific folder. Those mails that are of no interest to me are simple to delete. I do not use on line services like Nabble.

[Elecraft] KX3 CW Key Options
I'd like to repeat a feature request: The option of NONE for CW KEY2. This would allow use of a mono plug to send external CW. A few days ago I went to drop my KX3 into the position I normally use with a rig that uses a mono 1/4 key plug. Even with an adaptor to 1/8, it wouldn't work because the shell on the mono plug keyed the ring on the KX3 KEY2 input. While at it, allowing independent selection of TIP=DOT on CQ KEY1 and HAND on CW KEY2 (and vice versa for lefties) would allow bug operation, which I have seen requested by others.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 CW Key Options
Hi Jim ! It's generally accepted convention today that virtually all key plugs/jacks are three-circuit ... tip, ring and sleeve ... in both 1/8 and 1/4 diameters. IMHO, modifying software to satisfy the wants of a few of us isn't warranted. In your case, doing it right is just a simple plug change and the key would still work in older radios. 73!

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft SSB Net results, September 8
Only a short while ago (the early 1950's) few Hams had mobile rigs. Virtually everyone on the air was working from a fixed station. One of the games mobile operators played was to drive over to another Ham's QTH and shock him with a call from the curb in front of the house, completely swamping their receiver with a gadzillion dB over S-9 signal. Of course it only worked once, but was good for a laugh followed by a cup of coffee or an '807' or two. 73, Ron AC7AC -Original Message- I was recently able to check in with my KX-3 for the first time in a year.

Get a 1/8 stereo name to 2 X 1/8 mono ( L/R) adapter and you're in business. You can plug your key/bug into one jack and the computer in the other.

Might I suggest (like I think was done in the past) that a few minutes (defined clearly) are set aside for us QRP KX3 folks to check in? I am temporarily located in Waikoloa, HI (BK29CW). I can hear the relay from N6JW in Riverside, CA. and sometimes can directly hear NS7P from Elmira, Oregon. When net control transfers to Georgia, no way I can do anything from here.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft SSB Net results, September 8
Two Sundays ago, net control DID create a quiet time and asked for QRP stations only to call. I have great difficulty checking into the net from my location in Pasadena, CA, partly because I have a very tall mountain range just out the window, and between me and Oregon, and partly because my K3-10 is drowned out by stations with amplifiers. On this occasion, I was able to check in very easily. So, I concur with those who have suggested a low power' segment of the net. Even better, two such periods would be desirable, the first about five minutes after the net opens, and about 15 minutes later, to give a second chance for anyone who could't make it the first time. (Band conditions DO change.) More active relaying by net participants would also help. On some nets, stations seem to relay only if asked. On others, they step in to relay if it's clear that a particular station isn't getting through to NC. It would be nice if the Elecraft net adopted the latter approach. One more thingif NC has a beam antenna, he might announce beaming east, calls from northeast and northern midwest stations only, etc. And let's all give three cheers for Phil for the great job he does as NC!

[Elecraft] KBPF3 and KPA500
I installed a KBPF3 option, and it works OK, mostly. I also have a PR6, so I am trying to use the BYPASS connector of the PR6. I have pulled the jumper in the PR6, so the BYPASS would would work. And it does, as long as my KPA500 cable is disconnected. When I connect the KPA500 control cable, it seems power is ALWAYS applied to the PR6, rendering the BYPASS not connected. DIGIOUT1 is off on all bands, except 6. When I disconnect the KPA500 control cable, all works as it should (except the KPA500). What am I missing?

Nothing. 14.3035 is a less than great choice of frequency. The maritime nets on 14.300 [there's more than one] firmly believe they own the frequency and are there daily. They're billed as maritime emergency nets, although 99% of the checkins are definitely not afloat, and all that I've heard in several years that are afloat are tied up to a dock somewhere [I suppose it's possible to sink at a dock]. I sometimes leave 14300 on when I'm working in the shack. There was traffic up at 14.305 something.. so I know the antenna was working.. just not catching Atanta...(I was probably where he was hitting the ionosphere..) I haven't ever checked into the SSB net, maybe I will try this Sunday. I do get into Kevin's CW net on 40 on occasion, but with the untimely departure of N0SS [SK], Kevin is just too close for 20 and by the 40m netI'm usually at dinner. It is common on many nets to call for QRP, Mobiles, etc. I've sort of equated it to the 2 Silent Periods each hour when maritime comm was CW [well ... MCW]. I'll see what happens Sun. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2013 Cal QSO Party 5-6 Oct 2013 - www.cqp.org __ 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] [600MRG] Use of K3 on 600m (and below)
I am still waiting for 10MHz to be available as an IF band on the K3 to enable a 10MHz rubidium or GpS standard to be used as a local oscillator While I wait, I use my anan-10 sdr which produces ~5W on the band and has had qsos Dave Ww2r, g4fre -Original Message- From: 600MRG [mailto:600mrg-boun...@w7ekb.com] On Behalf Of Edward R Cole Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 2:37 AM To: Jim Miller Cc: Elecraft Reflector; 600...@w7ekb.com group Subject: Re: [600MRG] [Elecraft] Use of K3 on 600m (and below) Jim, Yes, the lowest transverter IF is 7-MHz. Of course you can operate the K3 in low power transceive on any frequency from 490-KHz to 32-MHz if in the TEST mode. Only issue is VFO readout is the IF and not the operating frequency of a converter or transverter. But say you use 3.472-3.478 MHz as your IF? Your LO would be 3.000 MHz. This could even be a DDS oscillator locked to a 10-MHz reference. A simple mixer and LO without filters would work 0-500 KHz (maybe). The wider issue if using other ham transceivers that only operate in the ham bands. My K3 has the EXREF board for referencing to an external 10-MHz source. This enables 0.1 ppm accuracy. A 10-MHz LO is 1-Hz stabile. 73, Ed - KL7UW At 03:58 PM 9/10/2013, Jim Miller wrote: It would really be nice if K3 would support 80m as a transverter frequency.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 CW Key Options
There are many very functional radios out there that use a mono key jack. In my case, the IC-746. Most keyers have their output as a mono RCA jack. The K1EL USB WinKey and the W9XT Unified Microsystems XT-4 are two such examples. A readily available mono RCA to 1/8 cable is exactly what is needed for such, with no extra unused dangling ends of a stereo cable. And a mono plug is easier to wire up - more room without the second circuit to deal with. The suggested firmware change would be pretty simple to implement. We aren't talking a major DSP redo. I suspect many other firmware changes have been made to satisfy even fewer people. 73 - Jim K8MR In a message dated 9/13/2013 12:54:02 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, kengk...@gmail.com writes: Hi Jim ! It's generally accepted convention today that virtually all key plugs/jacks are three-circuit ... tip, ring and sleeve ... in both 1/8 and 1/4 diameters. IMHO, modifying software to satisfy the wants of a few of us isn't warranted. In your case, doing it right is just a simple plug change and the key would still work in older radios. 73!

This would allow use of a mono plug to send external CW. A few days ago I went to drop my KX3 into the position I normally use with a rig that uses a mono 1/4 key plug. Even with an adaptor to 1/8, it wouldn't work because the shell on the mono plug keyed the ring on the KX3 KEY2 input. While at it, allowing independent selection of TIP=DOT on CQ KEY1 and HAND on CW KEY2 (and vice versa for lefties) would allow bug operation, which I have seen requested by others.

[Elecraft] Win4 KX3
Hi, Due to numerous requests for a Win4K3Suite for the Elecraft KX3 and some independent testing that looks very encouraging, I have decided to provide Win4K3 for the KX3. All of the features of Win4K3Suite will be there with the exception of no P3 interface. It will support the KPA500 if you wish, as well as the KAT500. of course it will support full remote operation as well. I will need to purchase a KX3. So I have a few questions for the group. Are there any options that would need to be available which if not, could influence development work? I plan on just the basic radio. I have no need for the tuner since Win4K3Suite already supports it and the code is transportable. Same thing for the filters etc. Is there anything I am missing? I will probably sell the KX3 after the release. Thanks for your input.
