Then a big dip in signal/noise centered around 2kHz. In other words, very distorted signal!

Re: [Elecraft] PTT question
Jim - Make sure your preamp(s) do not have internal electrolytic power filtering caps. If they do, there is a fair chance the caps may hold the preamp on long enough for it to suffer damage. But, I am wondering why you are using preamps at HF at all? Unless the feedlines are extraordinarily long _and_ you are talking 15 or 10 meters. We use a NCC-1 here with the main and sense antennas 200 or 300 feet from the shack, on 160, 80, and 40 meters, with no problems. Careful use of the NCC-1's internal adjustable attenuators has solved any gain differential issues so far. - Jim, KL7CC On 1/24/2015 1:17 PM, Jim Miller wrote: I'm getting ready to add a RX array which includes remote preamps and an NCC-1 phasing unit.

Re: [Elecraft] DATA A mode and WSJT-X

I'll dig deeper in the documentation to understand what's behind this setting, thanks for pointing it out to me. And you are right, I need to set soundcard input super low and AF fairly low to get a nice clean signal on WSJT. I'll be careful not to get hooked too much on J65 - I do like the ragchew aspect of PSK31, and JT modes will definitely not let me do this, that will help. But just monitoring is great fun.

The 2 band kit from Elecraft is $544. This 4 bander is no longer available! One TINY scratch visible in one picture. With this exception, the radio is cosmetically near perfect, no dents or dings, all screws correct and unmarred. It functions to my satisfaction so I have not bothered rigorous tuning or alignment. You are bidding on the transceiver, a power cable, and the K1 assembly manual. Up-to-date documentation on K1-4 and options are available for free download. Guaranteed not DOA. I will go further and CONDITIONALLY accept return if you are not satisfied. Contact me FIRST with reason, then return the radio (USPS Priority Mail Large Flat Rate Box insured) within 72 hours after receipt and (after verification of condition and operation) I will refund your payment less my actual shipping, eBay, and PayPal costs. Shipping by USPS Priority Mail Large Flat Rate Box insured $20. PayPal ONLY! Domestic sale ONLY! QRZ verified Amateur Licensees ONLY! - END eBay offering - For this group: $475 SHIPPED!

Re: [Elecraft] PC not finding KUSB port
Looks like you are a victim of Prolific's end-of-life for certain pirated part numbers. Any driver later than version 1.4 checks the chip ID and refuses to start (Error 10 Cannot Start) for 2303 parts HXA (and probably others). Easy workaround is to MANUALLY install version 1.4 of the Prolific driver. When cable refuses to start (yellow mark, Error 10) you can then MANUALLY update (downgrade) the driver by selecting from the list of installed drivers. BTW, this is a Windows 8 issue, XP apparently never tries to update to the rev 1.8 driver. Email me off-list and I will try to remember the details. The actual key-by-key instructions vary depending the OS version. Perhaps others with more current experience can help.

[Elecraft] PC not finding KUSB port
I'm doing firmware updates this weekend, and my KX3 and PX3 went fine after installing the device driver using the KXUSB cable and a laptop running Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit. However, I'm trying to use the same laptop with an earlier KUSB cable to update my K3 and P3. The cable is one using the Prolific chip instead of the FTDI chip. My P3 utility program says that the COM port is closed and I can't scan for vacant COM ports. However, my computer device manager says it's hooked up to a Prolific USB to serial adapter on COM5. I've tried installing the driver twice as the USB to Serial Adapter page in the utility Help section suggests. This laptop has only one USB port and I'm using it rather than a hub. I've successfully used this KUSB with a different laptop running Windows 7 64-bit, but unfortunately my wife has it with her on a month-long trip to Scotland. Any suggestions would be appreciated. 73, Dennis L Haarsager, N7DH __ 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] My KX3 desk microphone project
Gary and all, Whoa! Gary! Don’t get your knickers in a knot. Jim was NOT making a “personal statement”, as you suggest. He was, however, making a definitive comment based on knowledge and experience. That’s all! It would make no sense for him to make some “wishy-washy” critique of your effort when he knows you are heading off in the wrong direction. That could be just as confusing. Of all the people on this reflector, Jim is possibly the most qualified to opine on your effort. Apparently some of what you were trying to accomplish, and suggesting to others, could be seriously misleading as to the actual result! I wouldn’t have known any better, nor would a lot of others, but Jim does, and said so. In effect, all he said is “you are wrong”, but he certainly did not do so in terminology to which you should take offense. I suspect what may have hurt your feelings was just learning that what you thought was a good idea really wasn’t! Heck, we’ve all done that, and me probably more than others. Just be grateful that someone was around, who has appropriate expertise, to prevent your error from becoming an even bigger one! If you are happy with your direction, that’s fine. However, if what you suggest is inconsistent with the physics of the process, folks need to know that as well. That’s a big part of the “beauty” of this reflector. There is a lot of real expertise out there, and I benefit from it regularly. However, if I say something, and I’m on thin ice in doing so, I need to be prepared to be called on it. I don’t want to go down a road that has a dead end, and I certainly don’t want to lead others down that same road! All too often folks tend to take what they read as “gospel” and run with it, so oversight is critical! If we didn’t have people like Jim Brown participating on this reflector I wouldn’t learn much, and I’d probably be off beating my head against the wall on a regular basis! Overall, I think you have a very nice project in process. “Rolling your own” microphone is a good thing, and can be very satisfying as a project. I’ve had a lot of fun doing some of that, and using relatively cheap electret elements to revive old microphone housings, etc. For a few dollars you can duplicate, if not improve on, the results you would get from expensive commercial alternatives.

[Elecraft] variac question
I have a 2000VA chinese variac off ebay looks similar to a staco(. No schematic. It works fine when used normally. Varies my voltage from 0-148V. But when its switched off and left plugged in I have 0 V between and neutral and 120V between hot and ground and neutral and ground. Is this normal for a variac? I was hooking up a electromagnet @5V with the variac off but plugged in and I got a 120V bite even when the dial is all the way to 0. That’s why I started checking it.

Re: [Elecraft] K3FW5R04 problems?
Alfredo, In some cases, you have to run TX Gain Calibration after installing beta 5.04. This is a bug in that beta release, and will be corrected in a subsequent beta. If you have memories previously stored, recalling them can upset the work of doing the gain calibration because the old memories contain gain settings. Wait until the next beta to arrive. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/24/2015 10:49 AM, Alfredo Velez WP3C via Elecraft wrote: HI Install beta version K3FW5R04 and low watt in some bands.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Lost power
Hi Don, Yes, the problem is indeed in the terminal strip. Interesting that no load shows 13.8V but when connected to the K3 and the K3 is off, it then shows .5V at the terminal strip. Apparently everything else running off that strip is doing fine so it has to be at that junction. Now I'm just running it off the Astron directly and it's doing fine. Never had a problem with the strip before, something new to get my VOM soldering rig onto! :) 73, Gary KA1J Gary, I would submit that it is something internal -- but internal to the wiring harness or the terminal strip that you are using. The direct connection to the power source should indicate that this is not a K3 problem. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/23/2015 11:07 PM, Gary Smith wrote: Just a follow-up, I found the problem and it is in the DC terminal strip that must have a faulty component inside. It shows 13.8 V at the end of the wiring harness but when I connected it to the K-3 it dropped down to .5 V. I bypassed the terminal strip and connected to the power supply directly and the radio turns on with no issues. The connections to the terminal are tight so it has to be something internal. No chance to really compete in the contest but at least I can get back in the game and don't have to send the K-3 back home for surgery. __ 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 g...@ka1j.com --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.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

Not 100% sure the mailing-list allows images in emails, so I will try to describe the issue as clearly as possible: - In USB mode, with a flat EQ, I get a flat spectrum apart from the actual JT9/JT65 chirps, from 200Hz to 3000 Hz - In DATA A mode, on the other hand, I get a peak around 100Hz, nothing until 300Hz, then a huge noise peak raising from 300Hz, peaking at 500hz and going slowly down to 1kHz. Then a big dip in signal/noise centered around 2kHz. In other words, very distorted signal! Image speaks for itself: http://imgur.com/QyqpzEh I am pretty sure this does not come from the radio, with a simple audio waterfall displaying at the same time in another program I don't see this artifact, but I wonder if anyone else has seen this and can explain it? Could it be an FFT artifact linked to the sampling rate of the soundcard and an internal sampling rate of the radio in DATA mode? Something else ?? Kind of scratching my head on this one, maybe smarter/more experience Hams on the list will have an answer! Oh yes: WSJT-X is running on a Mac, not that it should really matter. 73 de Ed, W6ELA __ 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 dm...@nexicom.net __ 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] :K2 Homebrew external digital interface with build-in soundcard device
Jean, You might want to take a look at the K2 Digital Interface Box on my website www.w3fpr.com for some ideas. My K2 digital box switches between the microphone and the digital interface, so I can use either mode at a flip of a switch. I have also put a fixed audio output circuit in my K2 and route the audio output to an unused pin on the mic configuration header so only one cable is required between the K2 mic jack and my interface box. Most any soundcard will work for digital modes (even the computer internal card). The real difference for digital modes is the noise level of the soundcard. Jim Brown K9YC has recently done some testing and has recommended a couple of external soundcards. You might want to look at the reflector archives for his posts over the last 4 months. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/24/2015 1:23 AM, Behiels jean-Pierre wrote: Hi Elecraft members; I already have build a K2/10. My next project is to homebrew a digital interface for general purpose with external soundcard into a separated Elecraft EC2 project enclosure. Is there anyone who could give my some addresses and advise witch kind of soundcard is usuable for this purpose ? I presume a standard PC soundcard is not really useful for build-in in a EC2-box without any PC support(connectors and so on) You must now that I must solder my DC transceiver PC isolation circuit to this soundcard as well. I presume I could not solder on a standard PCI slot of sutch soundcard,not talking about supplying this unit and so on I will work with some small audio transformer,and some opto couplers for the DC isolation between both. (transceiver and PC USB port). I look forward to receive some idees and any good designs and some usefull information (addresses where to buy)around. I hope someone could help my with my request. __ 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] My KX3 desk microphone project
Guys it is a project! No need to be throwing out personal statements like that! Sorry for being misguided guess I wont make that mistake again here!

Your combination of mics won't do that, and they WILL make a mess of the sound they pick up. The only thing to be gained by combining microphones is directivity, doing that is VERY difficult, and microphones that provide directivity are common and inexpensive. 73, Jim K9YC Retired Pro Audio Guy On Fri,1/23/2015 4:50 PM, Gary - NC3Z wrote: Provides more gain and improves the SNR.

[Elecraft] KXPA100 Low Receive Signals
OK what do I need to change on my KX3 Menu? As I increase power from 4 watts to 100 watts I hear a series of clicks one at 5 watts and one at 10 watts from the amp. Each time there is a click the receive signal drops like an attenuator. The attenuator on the back of the amp is in the OUT position. What do I have messed up now?
