Re: [Elecraft] OT: Shipping experiences

2014-01-04 Thread Jim Lowman

Not to mention, that USPS delivers on Saturday...at least for now.
Our post office is extremely busy, but when I need to ship something, 
there are a couple of nearby post offices that seemingly no one knows about.

Walk in, do business, and walk out quickly.

We do use UPS to ship to the in-laws in Michigan, and go to the local 
UPS Store, but packing and shipping seem to have increased dramatically.


Then, I hear reports of shipments from Elecraft that seem to be in limbo 
in both the FedEx and UPS systems.  Not all of the delays can be blamed 
on weather.
Seems that they underestimated the holiday volume; something that USPS 
has dealt with for years and seems to be gaining the upper hand on.
I think, when my number comes up for shipment of the KXPA100 + ATU, I'll 
switch from UPS to USPS, although I've not had a shipment take longer 
than two business days from Elecraft.

Living in California helps, but I get to pay sales tax.

No problems to date with either UPS or FedEx as far as damage, or 
delivery after the projected delivery date of any shipments.
One thing that does anger me, is that some shippers use this thing 
called SmartPost, in which the item travels via normal UPS and FedEx 
channels until they reach the local area, then are turned over to USPS 
for delivery.
This can take another 2-3 business days to reach my doorstep.  Of 
course, I've been given free shipping, so I guess I can't complain.

How this saves UPS or FedEx any money is beyond my comprehension.

The XYL ordered a KX3 case, modified to hold the KXPA100 and Fred's 
smaller manual, at Visalia.  I'm sure that we didn't stiff Rose.
I've bought covers for my K1, K2, K3 and KX3 from Rose, as well as the 
aforementioned carrying case for the KX3 and one for the K2, so 
hopefully I'm innocent.  If not, please let me know and I'll make it right.

[Elecraft] WTB : SCAF-1 audio filter

2014-01-04 Thread Johnny Siu
Hello Group,

If you have the above surplus to your requirement, I will be interested in 
taking it.  It is just a small light weight filter so that sending by USPS 
airmail should not be difficult.

Please reply off-the-list with your price.

Re: [Elecraft] NAP3 setup with KX3

Found the problem thanks to your suggestions.  After a bit of digging

slightly more expensive and much bulkier X-Fi Surround and now works well.
Thanks all.

 Check to be certain both channels are being  sent to the soundcard. The

 a soundcard problem that is only presenting one channel to the NaP3
 application.  Unplug each channel (one at a time) and see if the display
 indicates about the same level from each channel (yes, you will have
 mirrored images with only one channel).
 Do you have the KX3 set to output RX IQ signals?

 If all that is OK, then tune to a strong signal (S-9 plus) and the NaP3
 WBIR algorithm should eliminate the mirrored responses.

[Elecraft] KAT500 firmware 1.42

the utility. It used to stay on forever after a tune cycle. Now it
immediately goes away.

[Elecraft] K3 AFSK RTTY problem

2014-01-04 Thread Ron W3ZV
I am trying to operate AFSK on 15m in the ARRL RU contest. I have 2 contacts in 
the last 2 hours. I am by no means a big gun, but I am usually better than 
this. Lineup is K3-KPA500-KAT-500. No problems on receive. Drive is set to 
produce about 350 watts from the KPA-500. SWR is below 1.5. As far as I can 
tell, baud rate, and shift are okay. I don’t think I am reversed. I know my 
signal is getting out, because I get a lot of AGN AGN. What disturbs me is that 
my ALC indication is rapidly jumping between 2 to 5 bars. This is not the 4 
solid and 5 flickering. Power out on the KPA500 jumps between 300 and 400 
watts. If anyone has a suggestion to get me back in the fray, I would be most 
grateful.

[Elecraft] Setting band breaks for SSB and CW on the K3

Re: [Elecraft] Setting band breaks for SSB and CW on the K3

2014-01-04 Thread Don Wilhelm

Mike,

No way that I know of, and because the sub-bands vary between countries 
and license classes, it would take a lot of figuring out for the 
Elecraft folks to implement something like that automatically.


You might think about using the M1 - M4 memory buttons to do something 
similar.  These are per-band memories, so you have 4 for each band.


On each band, I have M1 set up to take me to near my commonly used CW 
frequencies (remember that there are 2 VFOs in each memory, so you can 
get to 2 favorite frequencies with the A/B button too).
M2 is set for my common SSB operating spots for each band.  M3 sets me 
to my frequently used Data Mode frequencies.


You might want to consider setting VFO A to the lower band limit for 
your license class and VFO B to the upper limit, or anything else that 
'meets your fancy'.


For me, M4 is reserved to set on the fly to any frequency I might want 
to return to quickly.


Set up the VFO, mode, split, filter, etc for both VFOs before storing.  
It takes a bit of effort to do all bands that way, but once set up, it 
can stay in existence for a long time.

[Elecraft] KX3 External Transverter and ATU TUNE disable option suggestion

2014-01-04 Thread David Anderson
Dear Elecraft,

I am planning to use my KX3 with an external transverter. The KX3 has only the 
single main antenna socket, and it is important that I do not accidentally 
transmit too high a power into the transverter's input attenuator and mixer. 
Normally I would want a very low power level.

 I can set the maximum power when using a transverter using the  XV H in the 
KX3 menu, this is very useful, however I believe that the ATU TUNE button will 
still try and tune at approx 3 watts even though I set a lower maximum power of 
say 0.1 watts in XV H.  

I thought perhaps that when an XV was selected in the BAND that the ATU TUNE 
would be disabled, or the ATU always put in BYPASS mode but it is not. 

I know I can put the ATU in bypass mode, but I am bound to forget one day, and 
accidentally press ATU TUNE and cause damage to my transverter.

I guess I have a feature request, make sure that ATU TUNE button does not 
transmit when a XV is selected (ATU in bypass mode) , it would also be nice if 
the ATU mode was band specific.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 External Transverter and ATU TUNE disable option suggestion

2014-01-04 Thread Don Wilhelm

Dave,

If you are referring to he Elecraft XV series transverters, then I 
suggest that you set up the transverter to use 4 watts input.  That is a 
level that is quite controllable and the attenuator in the XV 
transverter will handle it with no problems.  ATU Tune will behave as 
expected and no harm will come to the transverter.


If you are using something other than the Elecraft XV series, then your 
comments are valid.

say 0.1 watts in XV H.

I thought perhaps that when an XV was selected in the BAND that the ATU TUNE 
would be disabled, or the ATU always put in BYPASS mode but it is not.

I know I can put the ATU in bypass mode, but I am bound to forget one day, and 
accidentally press ATU TUNE and cause damage to my transverter.

I guess I have a feature request, make sure that ATU TUNE button does not 
transmit when a XV is selected (ATU in bypass mode) , it would also be nice if 
the ATU mode was band specific.

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

2014-01-04 Thread kev...@coho.net
Good Evening,
   I was greeted by a pileated woodpecker this morning.  He was making the
tree right outside my window into wood chunks.  They clear out the rot
and the tree then heals over the scar.  The trees seem to be used to it
and the woodpecker was certainly enjoying it.  I am glad he is not an
early riser.
   Propagation was fairly good this week.  Some QSB from aurora but little
noise.  There is a monster sunspot rotating into position for an
earthward blast of ions.  If it goes off within the next day we could
be due for a huge dose of ions.

   Please join us tomorrow.

14050 kHz at 2300z Sunday (3 PM PST Sunday)
 7045 kHz at 0200z Monday (6 PM PST Sunday)

  73,
 Kevin.  KD5ONS

Try to stay warm too.  It is too cold out east of me.

[Elecraft] KX3 FW 1.84

2014-01-04 Thread Johnny Siu
Hello Wayne,

I am very pleased with the new FW for MW broadcast RX.  It now makes the KX3 
really useful in receiving MW broadcast.  Previously, I felt the sensitivity of 
KX3 below 1300KHz was worse than K3.

I like this improvement and thanks for the hard work.

I'm glad it's working for you, Johnny. Of course it's a compromise since the 
BCB=160 setting of the ATU's L-network no longer provides stiff filtering of 
the harmonic images. But sensitivity is probably the more pressing need in many 
cases, especially if you're using the KX3 in the field to get news via AM 
broadcast.
