[Elecraft] Vedr: RIGblaster Advantage for Serious Digital Modes with KX3?
I use the MicroHam USB Interface III With my KX3. http://www.microham.com/contents/en-us/d158_U3.html I had to build the interface cable my self, a pretty easy job all hams should be able to do.

[Elecraft] K3 with P3 on the air
Greeting all, My K3/100 I picked up from KP4Y Is just about all complete, I added the KDVR3 and KATU3 plus the FM filter. I also have the XV144 transverter off my K2 on the K3 and it works super! An as of today I now have the P3 installed (waiting on the SVGA board). It all working the K3 is S/n 6061 and the P3 is 2817. Now I will be looking for a KPA 500 amplifier and my K Line will be complete. From what I seen so far this is going to be a great station. Been using an FT 920 for 15 years worked a lot of 6 meter DX but now with this set up should be able to finish off DXCC only need 5 more countries confirmed. 73, Bill, W0WFH EM48ck __ 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] RIGblaster Advantage for Serious Digital Modes with KX3?
Thanks, everyone for the fine support! I believe that you have helped a lot of people (besides just me) find paths for getting the digital modes up and running well. I'm going to use the information and ideas you have provided to get my KX3/digital mode system optimized and ready for the St. Lucia trip in December.

To: craig...@msn.com For a different approach, this maybe something to consider... http://www.4sqrp.com/4s-link.php There was a note in the reflector about a modification need for the KX3. Quoted and copied below. Either a special cable or reworking pcb traces would be necessary. Good luck, Rich K8MEG Just discovered why I couldn't get the 4SLink to work with the KX3. The Mic/PTT jack on the 4SLink is backwards from the way the KX3 works. On the 4SLink, the microphone audio is on the ring and it needs to be on the tip of the connector going to the KX3. I was trying to use a standard audio extension cable between the 4SLink and the KX3 which put PTT on the Microphone Audio in and the audio on the PTT (ring) of the KX3.

Re: [Elecraft] 222Mhz Build Question
Kevin, I do not recall much difference between the 2005 manual and the 2010 manual for the XV series. If there is an errata sheet for the 2005 manual, make certain you read it. You could go through the two manuals page by page to see the differences.

[Elecraft] [K3] One Last Hearing Story
Very interesting story! I recall Rick's R2 (I think it was called) which was an analog precursor to the SDR of today. I think the lesson is well put. To improve your abilities you have to train! That has to be done at or beyond the limits. So to hear better train yourself with weak signals. To improve your CW push your speed. To qualify as a Marine Recon or NAVY Seal, well good luck! You know they train beyond the limits. I have been lucky to work alongside both who were retired vets! My hearing is very poor, not from rock music but industrial noise. In the 1950-60's no one bothered with hearing protection. But I do know my ability can be improved with training at levels I want to succeed at.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] One Last Hearing Story
Well maybe second to last. :-) (But I doubt it.) The most important thing I can do with my fading hearing (I'm 69 and fading hearing goes with the age) is to eliminate background noise. I'm sitting in my shack and I can hear the jackhammer outside, cars on the street, my wife walking in the living room, the freezer humming away, and the backup drive on my desk seeking as Time Machine does a backup. One of the greatest blessings is when we have a power failure and most of that background noise stops. I use headphones which helps reduce the audio QRM. The CM-500 headphones help a lot, but what really works wonders are my Sennheiser noise-canceling headphones. Turn them on and the noise just disappears. I have used them while working ARES/RACES for the Los Gatos Christmas Parade. They help there too, although a lot of the parade noise still comes thru.

Re: [Elecraft] W2 PROBLEM
Have you checked the ALC setting? You should have 4 bars of ALC showing when you transmit with the 5th bar flashing. You can use TX test mode to set the ALC without going out on the air. If you don't have the ALC set correctly, the K3 will start transmitting at less than the power it is set at and slowly increase power as the power measurement feedback corrects the output power.

It's also quite possible that your wattmeter is trying to display average power output, in which case it takes a while to display the correct output. Check the manual for that wattmeter and see what it says. Usually you have the choice between peak (which you should be using) and average. 73 Ron AC7AC -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Bill Frantz Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2013 2:47 PM To: Larry Royster Cc: elacraft reflrvto 2 Subject: Re: [Elecraft] W2 PROBLEM Have you checked the ALC setting?

Re: [Elecraft] W2 PROBLEM
Holding the SENSOR and RANGE buttons simultaneously changes between peak-hold and average. You might also want to set the range to 200 since 'auto' may take a couple seconds to determine the correct range and 2KW would be too high for just 40 or 80 watts. -Mike- KI0HA On 9/18/2013 9:05 PM, Ron D'Eau Claire wrote: It's also quite possible that your wattmeter is trying to display average power output, in which case it takes a while to display the correct output.
