Re: [Elecraft] R
No, no, no!! The modern, HI-Tech way to do it is to build up a circuit to charge at least a 10 F supercap and discharge it through the fuse, thereby clearing the short. The supercap is guaranteed to un-short almost any fuse you are likely to find, and could also be handy for jump starting your car if using 12v to charge it. Just be sure your charging circuit can stand the guff, those things take a heck of a jolt without charge current limiting!!! Tongue firmly in cheek, W4CWZ No need for a trip to the store. You can clear a shorted fuse by connecting a battery across it. Works every time.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Contesting / DXing practices
Are you suggesting that contest/DX ops should adjust their power for each contact? I'm about 50 miles from you, I hope you're not accusing me of being a jerk for running 500 W to a 40' high dipole to work DX; for example, 9K2 on 40-meters at my morning grey line or IT9 an hour before sunset a couple of weeks ago. I suppose on a dead-quiet band with no QRM I could do it with much lower power, but those were not the conditions I had to work with. Wes N7WS Jeffrey wrote: The band plans work better when operators actually abide by using only the power required to make contact. In fact, the band plans might much less important if operators would bother to follow the power rule. Friends and I, who do happen to live fairly close, can (and do) actually talk using .1-.2W (yes, those are decimal points) on 40m, NVIS. It is really irritating to get stomped on by some jerk(s) running several hundred watts to talk when they're less than 200 miles away, as happens here in southern AZ.

[Elecraft] Is the KX3 a good choice for new general?
I submit that Wayne (see his message below) may have understated the case. The KX3 is all that he says, but there¹s more - it is as interesting for old hams as it is for new ones, and for Extras as well as for Generals. For this old ham, anyway. I bought my KX3 after, not before, spending a few years with the K3, the KPA500 and the KAT500; and after having had more other-brand transceivers than anyone really needs, from the 2000s all the way back to Viking and Heath. From an operational point of view the capabilities of the KX3 outpace almost everything (other than the K3) I¹ve operated with; and it has capabilities I haven¹t even begun to explore. As Wayne points out, it¹s more versatile in many applications than the K3 is. Yup, it¹s a great rig for a newbie; but it¹ll stay a great rig long after that.

Message-ID: 334f431c-21df-478b-b0c8-eeaf6d614...@elecraft.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Interesting thread. The dust appears to be settling, so I thought I'd weigh in. Whether I'm biased or not is left as a study question for the reader ;) We designed the KX3 specifically for new hams. Here are some considerations: - The KX3's size and weight allows it to be used anywhere, and powered from a small battery or power supply, even its internal battery pack. This means you don't have to evict anyone from precious desk or table real-estate as you dabble in your new hobby. At least not right away. You can move around, maybe use a corner of the garage, or an RV, or a picnic table. This is why we call it ultraportable. - The KX3 has about half as many controls as the K3 and other full-featured desktop radios. We kept only the essentials. And you don't need to use all of the rig's features. You can start with the basics -- VFO, AF GAIN, MODE, BAND up and down. The default settings of the radio pretty much just work. Set the power level you want and start tuning around. - The owner's manual is written with new hams in mind, with supplemental information about antennas, operating modes, and the nature of the different HF bands. We don't go into a huge amount of detail, but it's enough to get you started, and you already have a few thousand friends on the Elecraft and KX3 reflectors if you want to dive into deeper waters. The manual is organized so that basic operation is covered right up front. As time permits, you can try each more advanced feature. - At 12 W (8 to 10 on the highest few bands), the KX3's power output is only 9 dB below 100 W. Thanks to the beauty of logarithmic phenomena, that's only 1.5 to 2.5 S-units depending on whose S-meter standard you're basing it on. (We use roughly a 5-dB-per-S-unit standard at Elecraft.) Yes, it can be harder to work stations using SSB mode when you're two S-units down, but if you avoid pileups and stick with calling stations that are well above the noise level, you'll have no trouble making SSB contacts. - The KX3's wide-range ATU can greatly simplify the process of erecting antennas for all bands. Here's the simplest case: One piece of wire about 25 feet long, tossed into a tree, and a similar wire laid on the ground, can be connected directly to the radio with a BNC-to-binding post adapter (no coax). The ATU can tune this on 40-6 meters. If the wires are 50 feet long, you can also cover 60 and 80 meters. That's 80-6 meters with two wires, no coax, and a support provided free by nature (or your neighbors). Obviously you can improve on this to better your odds, say by using an off-center-fed wire of 50 to 100 feet long supported in the middle by a 20 to 40 foot pole or tree and fed with twinlead or ladder line. A balun (e.g. Elecraft BL2) would then be used at the rig to convert this sortof-balanced antenna to the radio, through a short length of coax (1 to 2 feet). - Hams who are transitioning from VHF/UHF to HF might want to add the 2-meter module (3 watts, all modes, including repeater controls, DTMF, memories, etc.). When you get tired of exploring the vast wilds of the HF bands, you can return to the familiarity of 2-m FM, etc., and chat with the locals. 73, Wayne N6KR __ 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] OT: Contesting / DXing practices
I think he is talking about the jerks who run max smoke to talk to each other when only a few hundred miles apart. I've heard this behavior on 40M fairly often: Goober asks Billy Joe Bob if he can copy him. BJB says sure, solid copy! You are only 35 over 9, down from your usual 40 over. G says, I thought so. Something must be wrong with my antenna, The SWR here this morning is 1.35; usually it is 1.15 and I was worried about blowing up my lineaaar or something. I still copy you fine, though, 40 over like usual. These two have talked nearly every morning for 20 years, could copy each other just fine on 50 watts or less but run full bore, and proud of it! or similar. 73 de W6OGC Jim Allen On Wed, Dec 3, 2014 at 2:37 PM, Wes (N7WS) w...@triconet.org wrote: Are you suggesting that contest/DX ops should adjust their power for each contact?

Re: [Elecraft] Is the KX3 a good choice for a new General?
Actually, I would say its a good choice for any new ham (Tech or General License). It has both 10m and 6m for the Tech at 8w output which can work quite well when bands are open, and locally if not. Add the 2M module and you have 2m at 3w which will work nearby repeaters. But both 6m and 2m SSB or digital modes can also be used which offers increased diversity of operating. First step to increase usability is get a good antenna for any band considered, then maybe an amplifier. I have a HB 140w HF amp, a Mirage 125w 6m amp, and RFConcepts 35w 2m amp which the KX3 can drive. The whole lot can go mobile. The good part is when you advance in ham radio the KX3 has the capabilities to advance with you, so its not just a starter rig. Firmware improvements and additions preclude it becoming outdated technology. Quality and performance it is hard to beat for the bucks! Had I now already had a K3, the KX3 would probably be my first purchase. Of course I am not a new ham (56-years since I got my Novice: a week from tomorrow). So its a good new radio for an old timer - too! ;-) 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] OT: Contesting / DXing practices
Thank-you Jim, you are correct. Wes, no I am not talking about you. As I wrote off-list earlier to another person: My complaint, specifically stated earlier, was about the the operators who are all within 200 miles of each other (and me and those I am talking to). Actually, we're nearly all within 100 miles. I have no problem with people blasting to make a DX, or get through in a contest - that's the nature of the beast. I'm just talking about basic politeness for a casual ragchew. If people did that, there'd be leas bandwidth crowding, and a smaller possibility of encroaching government regulations on us in the future. I certainly don't want to be forced to go 'narrow-band' like happened to commercial.

There are a couple of things that I would like to see in the KX three menusee W readout system if they can happen in the near future. What is to be able to switch the antenna tuner in and out of the circuit. This I would like to see because it would be much easier for me to resonate an antenna without the tuner in the circuit andand then I would like to be able to put the junior back in the circuit to finish the matching process. The other thing that I would like to be able to access is the battery charger function. This way I could charge the batteries without having to add the him pod to the circuit. Thank you very much I don't know how the plans for increasing the menu a ccessibility will go along with other projects and this is why I had written to ask.

There's also a website where you can hear what all the new and old digital signals sound like. Sorry, I forgot what it was, but it should be easy enough to find.

[Elecraft] New KX3 firmware: more effective speech compression, and improved 2-m/4-m CW SSB
Hi all, I'm looking for volunteers to field-test the latest KX3 firmware (rev. 2.30). It has more effective speech processing, and also improves both CW timing and SSB power output of the 2-meter/4-meter option module. See full release notes below. If you have time to test this firmware tonight or tomorrow, please email me directly and I'll send you a copy. 73, Wayne N6KR * * * MCU 2.30 / DSP 1.32, 12-3-2014 * SPEECH COMPRESSION IMPROVED: Corrected internal DSP stage gain, resulting in higher output levels with compression turned on. * 2-M/4-M SSB POWER OUTPUT IMPROVED: Max power output improved with and without speech compression turned on. Note: The KX3 will automatically reduce 2-m/4-m power output if safe levels of SWR, current, or temperature are exceeded. (You’ll see HI SWR, HI CUR, or HI TEMP flashed on the VFO B display.) This is more likely to happen when heavy speech compression is used, or when using a whip connected directly to the radio. We recommend reducing power to 2 - 2.5 W as required in this case to avoid the automatic power rollbacks or RFI problems. * 2-M/4-M CW TIMING IMPROVED: Dot length is now more consistent. * 4-M/6-M DIRECT FREQ ENTRY FIXED: Direct frequency entry to 6 or 4 meters now works correctly with a KX3-4M module installed. __ 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] K1 10m band / 28 MHz (low-side injection / VFO added to Premix)
I am going to make a quick 10m module for the upcoming contest. In https://www.mail-archive.com/elecraft@mailman.qth.net/msg17837.html there are two frequency schemes for a 10m band for K1. They require crystals for appr. 33MHz or 26MHz. I have a junk box parts home brew K1 receiver with IF 5MHz (on an original K1 RF PCB that I got hold of). I only have 20MHz crystals at hand for the 10m filter module, and must have it working in a week's time. By using low-side injection and VFO added to premix, I get 28Mhz RF - 5MHz IF = 23 MHz LO (low-side injection). By using the added product of VFO ca. 3MHZ and XO 20 MHz, I get the needed 23 MHZ low-side injection for the receiver mixer. Apart from having to make a 23 MHz BPF for the premix (that might be marginally less stable in frequency than one will achieve by using 26MHz and VFO subtraction), is there any other significant issues with this method (in addition - of course - to LP and BP rf filters for 28 MHz). Thanks.

Mine is called MorseRing in the Google Play store on my Samsung Android. Free. It will send the name if the caller is in my phone book, otherwise it sends the number.

Re: [Elecraft] New K2 problem ?ATU
I would suspect water in the feed line or a bad connector first. You'll know more when you can inspect the antenna. You could try overriding the tuning power (in the manual) and see if it can even tune at full power instead of the normal 20 watts. I suspect it would have an issue that the lower power doesn't reveal. 73, Byron N6NUL K2 7077 K1 2799 On Dec 3, 2014, at 19:08, John Wiener ja...@fuse.net wrote: Hi This just started tonight.The ATU is acting squirreled I think it is the KAT100 no change in setup…K2/100 to KAT100 to G5RV FLdigi and Mac OS (not yet upgraded to Yosemite) Signalink USB no changes in connections so…I use the ATU on 80M it goes to 1:1 after several relay clicks as usual Then I xmit….Hi Current…red 5:1 SWR and variable I turn off xmit on fldigi…now rcvr is low output…I hit the TUNE button and it re tunes the atu back to 1:1 and normal rcvr volume I’ll check on my antenna tomorrow when it is light but Does this sound like the ATU is going bad? serial number is 5312 __ 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
