[Elecraft] KAT500 tuning in combination with K3

2014-11-14 Thread Arie Kleingeld PA3A

Dick,

Now that you are 'on the air'...

Pressing the tune button on the KAT500 means that I want to tune. 
Wouldn't it be nice if the K3 (automatically) gives a tune signal when I 
do that?


Is that somewhere on the list? Or will this never become reality?

You weren't the first to ask for this. You can enable or disable antenna 
connectors by band with the KXPA Utility. See help text and the Configuration 
tab.

Use current production versions of firmware and the Utility.

[Elecraft] K3 Configuration problem

2014-11-14 Thread Bill Wiehe via Elecraft
I have run into a Configuration problem with my K3. I usually have settings 
under the 'CW WGHT' (Owner's manual pg. 55) set to run 'SSB+CW' (Tap 1), 'NEW 
QSK' (Tap 3) and 'AUTO OFF' for VOX (Tap 4).  For some reason the K3 reverted 
back to the opposite settings and no matter how many times I try to reset, it 
reverts back. I have reloaded all the firmware to no avail.Anyone have any 
ideas what I might be missing?Thanks.Bill - W0BBI

[Elecraft] [K3] N3fjp rig control problem

2014-11-14 Thread Gene
I recently started having a problem with AClog which was working great 
for a long time.  I suspect I changed something in the K3 settings.


It seems when polling is enabled I can select a call/freq from the DX 
list and the rig will follow but it is in transmit.  It will only come 
out of transmit if I disable polling.


I've checked all my com port selections and they are as they should be.

Any Ideas?

ACLog will not do radio control, PTT (RTS) and CW (DTR) on a single

[Elecraft] Thinking of adding a second monitor

GM all,

I could use some advice from those of you who use two monitors in 
conjunction with your station.


I'm thinking of adding another monitor, as my shack computer monitor's 
screen is pretty well filled with apps, other than those for hamming.


I have N4PY's excellent software for rig control, N1MM for logging, and 
the N3FJP suite.

I also have the SVGA option for the P3.

How do you have your apps distributed?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Newegg is having a big sale on 
24 monitors.

Of course, I will need to upgrade my video card to handle two displays.

Thanks in advance and 73 de Jim - AD6CW

Re: [Elecraft] Thinking of adding a second monitor

2014-11-14 Thread Matt Zilmer
I use two monitors on Windows 7 here.  One of the better ways to set
up more than one display in any OS is to extend the desktop to use
both (or all N).  This allows a single desktop split across the two
monitors physically, but behaving like a single monitor.  So you can
just plant your apps in whichever monitor space by grabbing the title
bar and moving them where you want them.

Re: [Elecraft] Thinking of adding a second monitor

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Thinking of adding a second monitor

Before going for 2 monitors look at the 4x monitors that have 4 times the 
real estate as normal HD monitors.


I used 2 monitors for years.  The second one had a different viewing angle 
and was distracting.  I now have NaP3, ADS-B, logging, antenna rotor, Afedri 
SDR, and Digipan (or MMTTY) all on one screen.


You may need a new video card.  I bought a cheap Intel NUC with the 4x 
display built in.

[Elecraft] K-line with remote rig

I'm interested in adding the K3/0 and remote rig capability to one of my

I'm look for a connection drawing for a complete K-line system with the
remote rig connections added.

 

Also how hard is it to change from local use to remote use and do I need to
re-configure any of the cables to make this change.

 

Thanks for any help

[Elecraft] K3 and MixW tuning problem SOLVED (Redux)

2014-11-14 Thread David Cole
For the next poor soul that tries to use MixW with a K3!

Problem:

I posted the problem outlined below to the MixW Yahoo group I manage,
after posting it here.  This group correctly tagged the issue as a MixW
issue, which I was not sure I believed until K9JWI, Clyde solved this
problem as outlined below.

Problem:
When using the K3 and MixW, (3.11 March 4th, 2012, or as it is sometimes
called MixW 3.11h), and selecting Kenwood/K3, (either 2 CH, or non 2
CH), from the rig configuration within MixW, the following actions would
occur:

A.  If CW is LSB is checked, (in MixW Serial port configuration), on
all bands above and including 21 MHz, the signal on the waterfall and
the tuning indicator on the waterfall would operate as expected.  i.e.
the rig/MixW worked fine.  Signal tracked waterfall frequency display.

B.  If CW is LSB is checked on any band below 21 MHz., the tuning
indicator on the top of the waterfall would work as expected, however
the signal would move in the opposite direction of tuning, (no longer
tracking Waterfall frequency), i.e. as I tune up, the waterfall
frequency indicator moved in the correct direction, and the signal would
take off in the opposite direction. 

C.  Workaround:
Unchecking CW is LSB, would correct the action described in B above,
(making the rig work as expected), and break it as described above in A
above.

D.  After posting this to the MixW list, and after several people looked
into it, the decision was made that MixW was handling the CW is LSB in
error, and that the K3 and all macros were fine.  Several days later
Clyde popped up with this message:
==CUT==
Dave  Colin,

Here is some more fuel for the fire.

In CAT settings check CW is LSB and select 
All Kenwoods instead of Elecraft K2,K3.  
Then all works as expected here.  Align works
properly on all bands.  Signal traces on the 
waterfall move along with the frequency scale
instead of in the opposite direction.  All without
having to check and uncheck CW is LSB depending
on which band is in use.

Why?  

73, Clyde K9JWI
===CUT=

While I can't answer Clyde's question yet, this pretty well confirms
that MixW's implementation for K3 rig control is bogon, and should not
be used.  The K3 is not at fault in any way for this.  

This however did not seem to fix the issue of MixW spraying out a lot of
excess data for control of the rig when it comes to tuning.  The
thumbwheel tuning still lags quite a bit...

This pretty well gets me back to where I was with my Icom 756 PRO III
for rig control, and I like the radio better, so I am a lot happier with
my K3 now...

[Elecraft] KXPA100 Firmware upgrade

2014-11-14 Thread Irwin Darack
In preparation for the upcoming ARRL Sweepstakes, I checked the firmware
versions for my KX3, KXPA100  PX3. The only one that need to be upgraded
was the KXPA100. After doing this, the KX3 would no longer recognize the
KXPA100. I had to go back into the KX3 menu settings and reconfigure it for
the KXPA100?

This is the first time I have seen this happen, were the firmware upgrade
on the KXPA100 changes the settings in the KX3.

Must be the ghost of contesting past having fun with me!

[Elecraft] [K3] N3fjp rig control

2014-11-14 Thread Gene
As a follow up to my last post, (should be N3fjp, NOT N3flp), Bill, NR4C 
asked why connection power RTS is needed.


I don't know however I was just following the recommended list in the 
successful list settings shown on the AClog website.  I decided to try 
the setting, connection power = none, and it still works.


Thanks Bill, for asking.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 w/ Steppir

2014-11-14 Thread Mike K2MK
Hi Tex,

Almost. One leg of the Y cable is very short so you'll need a serial
extension cable. There's a good drawing from SteppIR that shows how the Y
cable connects to the multiple devices. Not specifically the K3 but any
transceiver. E-mail me directly if you need a copy. k2mk at comcast dot net

Change the K3 config setting:
CONFIG:AUTOINF to Auto 1

Of course you'll need the transceiver tracking option on the SteppIR
controller and on the SteppIR transceiver setup screen set:
MODE = KENW
Din should match your current K3 and PC baud rate.

The Y cable leg that normally goes to the transceiver will go to the P3
serial input and then the P3 serial output will go to the K3.

73,
Mike K2MK

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] N3fjp rig control

2014-11-14 Thread Joe Subich, W4TV


Connection power is only needed for some RS-232 to TTL or CI-V
converters that require interface power and do not provide an
external power supply.  Those interfaces are generally used only
for Icom and older Yaesu/Kenwood radios and are certainly not
applicable to the K2 or K3 which use simple three wire RS-232
(bipolar voltage) interfaces.

[Elecraft] KX3 2.25 Firmware

2014-11-14 Thread George via Elecraft
 
After installing this latest firmware I have  a big increase in the volume 
in my headphones. I used to set it at 7 or 8. Now  only need to set at 2. 
Just curious why this might be. Also in the past I have  not used NR. Tried it 
today and the volume in the headphones goes way  down.   
 
What a great rig this is and it keeps getting  better!  73 George/W2BPI

[Elecraft] K3 Remote - Losing audio when switching rigs, etc.

2014-11-14 Thread Rick Tavan N6XI
Need some help with a memory jog here: I'm running a K3 with N1MM Logger
Plus in SO2V mode and a YCCC SO2R Box. When I change TX focus between VFO A
and B, the K3 audio disappears until I jog the gain control. Then it comes
back. Other operations like closing certain menus also blank the audio.
I've heard about this problem and suffered it occasionally, sporadically,
but don't recall the cause. Two weeks ago in SS CW it didn't happen at all.
But I've been doing lots of configuration work and now it's persistent,
happens every time. Any thoughts on how to fix it?

Thanks,

/Rick

[Elecraft] OT--QSL/Eyeball Cards

2014-11-14 Thread w7aqk

Hi All,

There is a company called Vista Print that has been offering business cards 
for a seemingly very good price--about $10 for 500!  They have a huge 
library of standard designs, but you can also customize yours for a 
relatively small additional price.  You can also add printing on the back 
for a small added fee.  So, you can use these as a QSL or just an eyeball 
card.  They are great for passing around at hamfests, etc.  I was very 
impressed with the quality of the ones I ordered.  Even my XYL likes them! 
Hi.


Anyway, having cards like this is very handy for a number of uses.  Maybe 
they seem inadequate for QSL cards, but it wouldn't bother me to receive 
some this size instead of the more standard 3 X 5 type.  A card is a card! 
I was breaking my bank account on printer cartridge ink making my own.

I use Vista for all the eyeball QSLs...  Reasonable quality, and they
take an upload for the images.  Very nice cards.

In VK they also offer a photo album you place your photos in on-line for
$20.00 and they are offering additional pages for free and postage is flat
rate of $7.95

Not a bad deal either from looking at it.

Yep, the cards are nice too.
