Re: [Elecraft] New KX3 can no longer be powered on
I have managed to blow fuses in my battery power supply by shorting the unconnected 2.1mm center female power plug. On some of these connectors, the center female section protrudes out of the end of the plug. This piece of the plug is easy to short to ground. Elecraft recommends connecting the power plug to the KX3 before turning on the power supply, which is good advice. If your power supply is always on, like my batteries, be really careful about shorts and carry spare fuses. There may be a blown fuse in your power supply. 73 Bill AE6JV On 12/27/14 at 2:03 PM, elecraft@mailman.qth.net (Mark, KE6BB via Elecraft) wrote: It sounds like the radio is not getting any power.

I am using K3 + N1MM + MMTTY + Tascam soundcard and can RX but I couldn´t transmit on the K3 Hello Jorge, How do you put the K3 in TX mode? There are two ways -- VOX or via an additional serial port? I use VOX. To use VOX is pretty easy. Set levels according to my applications note. http://k9yc.com/USB_Interfaces.pdf Set the K3 for AFSK-A. Set the RTTY tones in MMTTY and the K3 to the same frequency, and make sure both are set to 45 baud. In MMTTY, select your Tascam sound card for both TX and RX. Also, in the MMTTY Options Tab, select left or right channel for RX, depending on which channel the radio feeds. Feed audio from the Tascam to the Line Input. Follow instructions in the K3 manual to set the Line Input control. The Mic Gain becomes the Line Input control in digital modes. To set the VOX, put MMTTY in TX mode (send anything) and adjust the VOX gain until the K3 goes into TX. This is not exactly step by step, but it covers most the things that can prevent you from transmitting. :) 73, Jim K9YC __ 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] New KX3 can no longer be powered on
There are 2 sizes of coaxial power connectors - 2.1mm center pin and 2.5mm center pin. All Elecraft gear uses the 2.1mm size. If you have used the power connector supplied by Elecraft, then it should be correct. OTOH, if you used a different power plug (perhaps salvaged from a wall-wart), check the size of the center pin. If you have some #12 solid wire you can do a quick test. The #12 wire will fit into the center of a 2.5mm plug, but will not fit into a 2.1mm plug. (#14 wire will fit snug in the 2.1mm plug). I recommend using #16 wire from the power supply to the KX3, especially if the length exceeds 4 feet. While the #18 wire supplied by Elecraft is quite adequate, #16 wire will have less voltage drop during periods of higher current (Transmit conditions). 73, Don W3FPR On 12/27/2014 5:03 PM, Mark, KE6BB via Elecraft wrote: The problem is often with the coaxial power connector.

Re: [Elecraft] New KX3 can no longer be powered on
It sounds like the radio is not getting any power. I would suspect the power supply and cables before suspecting a problem with the radio. Have the easy things been eliminated as the problem? Is the power supply good? Has a fuse in the power supply been blown? Is there voltage at the radio end of the power cable? The problem is often with the coaxial power connector.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 & Piglet
Hello Cary, If I understand your question, you are trying to physically connect the Piglet to the iPad. That's not the way it works. The Piglet connects to your K3 via the RS232 connector, that way it can control the K3 via the standard K3 control interface. The Piglet connects to the iPad via wifi. There are a couple of different ways to do that. You can either connect both the iPad and the Piglet to your wifi router (called infrastructure mode if I remember), or you can connect the iPad directly to the Piglet, also via wifi. There are complete details on how to set either of these up on the pignology web site. This works very nicely. 73, Happy New Year, and good luck! Terry, WB4JFI -Original Message- From: H.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 & Piglet
The piglet does not need a connection to the iPad. It connects via WiFi, either through your home wireless network or direct, depending on how you set it up. Set up instructions are either in the Piglet's book or in their on-line instructions on www.pignology.net I don't have one right now, but it's relatively easy to set up. You gotta follow the exact directions from pignology though to get it working. The RS-232 cable connection is only to connect the Piglet to the radio or to the computer for special programming.

[Elecraft] PR6 Control
It is also useful to remember that you don't need the control line if the internal PR6 P2 jumper is in place. That will at least get you up and running until you can make the appropriate pin 11 connection. As usual, it's all in the PR6 manual. http://www.winfordeng.com/ is an interesting source of all sorts of breakout products and cables Regards, Mike VP8NO On 27/12/2014 02:32, Jack Brindle wrote: > It is also very important to use the small disconnect adapter that came with the cable kit to make sure the pin 11 connection is not made at the KPA500.

[Elecraft] Heil Proset KX3 Element?
Carl, Are you sure you have the the menus set correctly? For the Heil Pro Set (“IC” model) MIC BIAS should be “on” and MIC BTN should be “off”. I have one of those Heil Pro Set (IC) models, but haven’t tried it, or my Yamaha CM500, on the KX3. I use the MH3. The manual suggests that you can just plug the standard 3 ring “mini” plug into the jack and it will work, but you do need to set the bias. It just sounds like you might not be getting proper bias. If you have a “computer” headset around you might try that. Most of those are electrets. I just wonder if the plug is “seating” properly so that everything is making proper contact. I’d be tempted to make up a 3 ring mini to 4 ring mini pigtail. I’ve read that some of the 3 ring mini plugs tend to vary slightly in actual size. If that’s true, they might not seat properly into a 4 ring jack.
