[Elecraft] Px3 or KPA100?
Ok, so if you were in the market for a new piece of Elecraft Technology (and who isn't?) what would you get? A KXPA100 amp or the new PX3 Panadapter? I've got my order in for hte Panadapter , but I'm wondering if I should throw a few more dollars on it and get the amp. This way I could sell my IC7000, and My Ft817 and clear up my desk and still have 100 watts available for those nights when QRP just isn't cutting it. As it stands now, I would like to be all Elecraft for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the superior (in my experience) capabilities of the Radio. Sure, eventually, I'll get both, but what would you guys opt for initially? If you chose the Amp, would you get the internal Antenna tuner or use the tuner in the KX3? 73 Jim Harvey /KD2FIP -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Px3-or-KPA100-tp7588858.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
[Elecraft] Px3 or KPA100?
Hello Jim, If you are not definitely going for 100w and also want to do some kit building (firing up your soldering iron), Hardrock 50 small linear amplifier could be another alternative. It will soon have an internal ATU inside the amplifier as well. More information will be given in http://www.hobbypcb.com/ They will also have a booth in Dayton. If you visit Elecraft in Dayton, you may wish to visit them as well. 73 Johnny VR2XMC 寄件人︰ HREFAB j...@hre.com 收件人︰ elecraft@mailman.qth.net 傳送日期︰ 2014年05月10日 (週六) 3:08 PM 主題︰ [Elecraft] Px3 or KPA100?

Re: [Elecraft] Px3 or KPA100?
Jim, The KX3's internal tuner will not do anything while you are using the KXPA100. The tuner is bypassed when the amp is in use. For an antenna tuner to do it's job, it must be positioned between the final amplifier and the antenna feedline. Or, (even better) at the feed point of the antenna itself. Therefore, the internal tuner of the KX3 is only in use when running the KX3 barefoot.

I'm using a Shure SM58, into a mic preamp, into a gate/compressor/limiter/de-esser into an EQ into a mixer into the K3's line-in. Hi Slava, A de-esser works in the 6-8 kHz range, and you need it in a studio, especially with mics like the SM58 that are sibilant, it's totally useless for ham radio. If you want to use an SM58, you can run it straight into the front panel mic input with a suitable adapter -- pin 2 of the XLR is hot, pin 3 and pin 1 get tied together and go to the connector shell. The K3 has excellent EQ and compression built in, so you've got a lot of stuff there that you don't need. The SM58 is an singer's vocal mic, it has proximity effect, which adds a lot of bass that must be equalized out. Pro mics are overkill for ham radio (in terms of cost), but if you want to use one, go for one of the EV variable-D mics -- RE10, 11, 15, 16, 18. No proximity effect, no sibilance. Another issue with trying to use a pro mic in ham radio is that ham mics have presence peaks around 3 kHz to compensate for the rolloff of the crystal filter, so you must add that with an equalizer. The TXEQ in the K3 works VERY well for that. Before W6XU turned me onto the Yahama CM500 headset, I was using an RE16 from my stash of recording mics, on an AKG boom. Worked fine, I got great reports, but the CM500 is $60, and sounds great too. So line-in is taken. I can't put a Y cable there because, correct me if i'm wrong, every time Signalink would key up - the mic would go live. So that's not an option for me. I think its a lot easier to just hit a couple of buttons and switch to the front panel mic for digital work, isn't it? And the rear mic won't go live either. As far as audio interface goes, yes, i have an E-mu 0404 USB that i can use. But signalink works just fine. No drivers to install. And it has just enough controls. If you're happy with it, use the Line In. But remember that it has a Pin One Problem, so you could run into RFI with it. I really don't see why i would need a studio quality sound card for PSK31. See my exchange with N7WS about that in this thread -- a better sound card can improve linearity at the bottom of the dynamic range. In fact, you need a decent USB sound card a LOT more than all that outboard gear. The 0404 is overkill, although nice if you want to feed a spectrum display using NaP3. The Signal Link may be good enough -- the cheap Numark and somewhat nicer Tascam certainly are. I use the CM500 plugged into the rear panel mic and headphone jacks, assign the Headphones + Speaker toggle to one of the PF keys. That lets you use the K3's excellent audio processing, get rid of all that outboard gear, and makes it very easy to switch from SSB to digital modes. 73, Jim K9YC Retired audio professional __ 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 Message delivered to sla...@nullserv.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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Re: [Elecraft] Making a Signalink cable for the K3's 8-pin mic
With all due respect, you already received the answer here. Yes, you can connect the Signal Link to the front panel mic connector. Just pad the audio output of the SL to a mic level, instead of line level. Also, you won't be able to get audio output from the K3 back to the SignalLink via that jack. The RX audio of the K3 is not available there (see the manual). So you would need another cable from line out on the back for that anyway. So... it would be easist to just patch it in via the back (via your rack of signal shaping/mixing gear), as has been suggested.

Thanks for the replies. I wasn't aware that the internal KX3 tuner couldn't be used so thanks for clearing that up. I use my kx3 99% of the time from my office. Not much for hauling it out to the seashore or mountain tops. Additionally, the extra $300.00 puts a cramp in my plan. Another couple of hundred I could swing, but opening up that $1000.00 door puts it above my pay grade for now. I'm sure that I'll get some sort of amplification for the KX3 when I just can't got out over the noise, but for flying a desk, I guess teh PX3 will be the sensible alternative for now. And yes, my KX3 Hears FAR better than my IC7000. On the whole, I really found that to be a disappointing radio. It has a lot of bells and whistles, but other than the 100Watts, the KX3 blows it out of the water (for me anyway). -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Px3-or-KPA100-tp7588858p7588876.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 - EEINIT - Calibration Information
Yes, an EEINIT will erase all the calibration information. This is why you should make backups of your KX3 configuration using the KX3 Utility. If you didn't do this, then if you contact Elecraft support and quote your KX3 serial number, they may be able to send you a configuration backup done at the factory. 73, Matt VK2RQ On 11 May 2014, at 5:32 am, David Patino d...@onitap.com wrote: Does performing an EEINIT on the KX3 erase calibration information, mainly the Receive Sideband calibration for use with the roofing filter?

It works fine for portable operation. I usually take my K1 camping a couple times a month during the warmer seasons, but occasionally take the K2/10.

Re: [Elecraft] Making a Signalink cable for the K3's 8-pin mic
Slava, Yes, that would most likely work - BUT - I would suggest that you move the input from your audio gear from Line In to Mic In and use the Line In for the Signalink. Surely you have an output level adjustment for your audio gear that will allow mic level output - if not, add an attenuator. That would allow you to select Line In as the MIC SEL fo data modes. and either FP or RP mic for SSB which is the more normal setup for audio. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/10/2014 3:15 PM, Slava Baytalskiy wrote: I just had a thought: what about the rear mic jack (the 3.5mm) and the line out?

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] HRD/DM80 and a SignaLink
Jack, Another possibility is that you have DM780 set to supply PTT via HRD and HRD is issuing a CAT command to the KX3 to go into transmit. If the Signalink PTT is also used, things can become confused. There are several other possibilities such as VOX being on and set to a value that is staying set on from whatever low level noise is on the mic cable from the SL. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/9/2014 10:26 PM, Jack Spitznagel wrote: Good Weekend All, Don't have easy access to search the archives, so at risk of a dup, here is a finding from setting up the KX3, SignaLink with the KX3 Tigertronics made cables, and DM780. HRD works flawlessly with Elecraft KXUSB here, but... Using the little paper instruction insert that came with the SL to KX3 cables from Tigertronics, it was implied that the KX3 menu entry for MicBtn was to be in PTT Up.Dn. Well, that is apparently backwards. The system behaves normally if Mic Btn is OFF, and when set as instructed in the little sheet, the outgoing data string is transmitted in your selected mode, then the SL unkeys (as it should), but the KX3 stays in transmit. When the KX3 is set as the TigerTronic folks suggest, I assume the SL vox relay was being overruled by the TX command by KXUSB control because tapping the XMIT button on the rig would drop the rig back into receive. With PTT set OFF, the SignaLink VOX circuit has proper control. Had me stumped for a minute.. hope this helps someone setting up in the future.

[Elecraft] broken receiver, I suspect
I just sent the message below to support, but I suspect they are all partying in Dayton. If anyone has any other ideas I'd love to hear them - thanks! - jeff wk6i -- Forwarded message -- hi - I recently lent my K3 #00027 as part of the W1AW/7 multi-op from Nevada. The environment was not well controlled and I'm pretty sure my receiver was damaged during a band change. On the last day of the operation I was calling CQ on 12m and getting no response. Turns out everyone was calling me but I was hearing almost nothing. On my bench I checked it using an XG2. The 50uV setting gave only S3. I then did a full parameter initialization and then tried to calibrate the RF gain using the K3 utility. The utility reported that there was not enough signal to perform the calibration. I also have an XG1 so I tried that. Same result. I tried turning the pre-amp on and off, which did cause about a 2 S unit difference as might be expected. The attenuator also caused an audible difference but not a useful S meter reading. One might suspect that I've blown out one or more of those PIN diodes before the preamp. If I had any laying around I might try a swap, but...;) Also: I do have the jumper for the extreme signal protection installed. -- Jeff Stai ~ wk6i.j...@gmail.com Twisted Oak Winery ~ http://www.twistedoak.com/ Facebook ~ http://www.facebook.com/twistedoak __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

For this reason, I set up one of the PFn buttons to toggle between data mode and normal(SSB) mode. It does things like set up the MIC BTN, VOX, AF and Mic levels, etc., and then I don't forget anything. 73, Matt VK2RQ On 11 May 2014, at 8:30 am, Julie Royster jsdroys...@nc.rr.com wrote: OK, thanks for this input!!

[Elecraft] KX3: popping noise in radio speaker
While on my trip in the lower-48 I installed batteries in my KX3 for the first time (run it off 13.5v PS in the shack). I noted that there was a regular popping noise at a regular beat about once per second. I checked battery voltage and saw that is was below 12v and dropping slowly. I used eight AA batteries which all tested at 1.53v before installation - brand new out of the package. 8x1.53 = 12.24v but there is loading so voltage started at about 11.9v. I noted current was running about 250ma with radio in SSB and normal volume level. I guess the radio draws pretty hard in receive. I removed the batteries and radio runs normal with 13.5vdc applied. I guess using 2.2v lithium or NiHD batteries would work better. I do not intend to run with internal batteries but wondered if anyone else has encountered popping audio and is it voltage related? Or is this related to the speaker physical fit issue with early models of the KX3? Mine is SN 475 (kit). 73, Ed - KL7UW http://www.kl7uw.com Kits made by KL7UW Dubus Mag business: dubus...@gmail.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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] KX3: popping noise in radio speaker
I've not noticed any such sounds, Ed, but my hearing is not exactly reference standard. I'm using Eneloop NiMH and have the optional charger so they can stay in the KX3. So far, so good -- though I'm usually on 13.8 VDC or an external battery if available.

Re: [Elecraft] broken receiver, I suspect
Jeff, Do you have the KXV3 (transverter interface) installed? If so, remove it, and put back the jumper that would have been removed when it was installed (I think there's just one jumper, but check the installation manual). There's a PIN diode on there that will blow if it sees more than about 2W. If you don't have the KXV3, there's another PIN diode on the main RF board that can be vulnerable. I'll forward you an email from support when this happened to me a while ago 73, ~iain / N6ML On Sat, May 10, 2014 at 3:04 PM, Jeff Stai wk6i.j...@gmail.com wrote: On Sat, May 10, 2014 at 2:53 PM, Lyle Johnson kk7p4...@gmail.com wrote: Is the sensitivity problem only on 12 m?

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement
Good Evening, The clouds are wringing out the last of the precipitation from the latest storm system in preparation for a week of sunshine. It will be a shock; the moss was doing so well too :) I'll enjoy having it around warming everything up. Speaking of sun it looks like a number of spots are moving into position to effect us. Lately I've been hearing more storm related noise than I have auroral or solar wind noise. Hopefully the rain will spread southward, we really don't need much more here in the Pacific Northwest. Soon the dry season will let us go out with our portable rigs. Field Day can be wet and cold or dry and hot, you never can tell until a few days before. Please join us tomorrow. 14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday) 7045 kHz at 0100z Monday (6 PM PDT Sunday) 73, Kevin.
