Re: [Elecraft] New K3 Syn
Hi John, I can't do that just yet but I will when I get my new K3. Improved full QSK and better close in signal rejection during contest are also my primary interest, so it will be interesting to finally get the new rig and test for those issues. I got my original K3 in 2010 and decided since I sure would like to have the new synthesizers and since I had never installed any of the Elecraft upgrades/updates, I would sell the old one and buy a new one. The actual cost output for a new K3, with everything updated, was very reasonable. Even though my credit card was charged the day after I placed my order, I did not hear anything from Elecraft, so I sent them an email yesterday for status update. It turned out that there is a 'delay' due to some small part out of stock, but my new K4 should be shipped next week. [I say K4 because any other manufacturer would have come out with a 'new' radio and we are fortunate to get this 'serious' upgrade as such!] So after I can do some test, I will make an audio recording and send it to you and Vidi. 73, Tom - W4BQF -Original Message- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Johnk1jd Sent: Saturday, February 28, 2015 9:20 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] New K3 Syn Don, all, Discussed this upgrade with Vidi ZS1EL yesterday.

Re: [Elecraft] New K3 Syn
Not a bad idea... It would be nice to hear before and after recordings. Also, recordings with the RF gain at max and sidetone volume at zero while the rig is being keyed, in presence of other signals and alone in the background noise. That should provide a good comparison of clicks and pops without distraction. 73, Drew AF2Z On Sat, 28 Feb 2015 07:19:42 -0700, you wrote: Don, all, Discussed this upgrade with Vidi ZS1EL yesterday.

Re: [Elecraft] CW listening pitch
Ted, I have the 700Hz/5-pole, the 400 Hz/8-pole, and the 200 Hz/5-pole. The only real concern in selecting a preferred pitch is that the K3 will set the center of your CW filter so that Fc-[BW/2] is no lower than 200 Hz. If you select a center frequency less than 550 Hz, your 700Hz filter will be offset to the high side. For example, if you select 450 Hz the 700 Hz filter will cover 200-900 Hz not 100 to 800 Hz. That's not a big issue with wider filters but just something to be aware of when selecting filters and nominal sidetone frequencies. I tend to prefer 490 (it's close to B4 [493 = B4]) which works with any of the normal Elecraft CW filters (500, 400, 250 or 200). 73, ...

Re: [Elecraft] CW listening pitch
Just some fun on this... About 40 years ago, I used to teach Special Ed Electrical Shop to deaf/multiple-handicapped teens. Some had very profound hearing loss. One day I was playing with a keying practice oscillator, and one girl started to screech. We figured out that she had hearing at 3000-3300 Hz and not much else. SO, I taught her to copy CW at that frequency; she got a novice, and we just had to handle the very high offset using separate transmitter and receiver. It opened a whole new world of communication for her! And these years later, I have no idea where she is. Thanks for all that good help with the pitch tone, everyone. and 73.

Re: [Elecraft] CW listening pitch
I use different pitches at different times. Lower pitches are better if you are trying to discriminate between two very closely spaced signals. Higher pitches may be better under some conditions. It may be worthwhile to change the pitch from time to time just for variety... I wish I could tune the pitch while listening to the effect on the actual signal conditions (and keeping the signal centered in the passband). But when PITCH is engaged the on-air signals are muted on the K3, even if the MON volume is set to zero. BTW, for the K2 I wrote down the filter alignments for several different pitches and could re-enter them pretty quickly. It took about a minute to change pitches this way, if I recall... 73, Drew AF2Z On Sat, 28 Feb 2015 14:29:31 -0500, you wrote: I like to use the CWT function when operating CW and then the Spot button to zero-beat.

[Elecraft] K3 Power Output Issue after Firmware Update
I just updated the K3 firmware to 5.10 since I am about to order the new synth board. When I restarted the radio after the upload, the following problem occurred: When I press the TUNE button, the radio shows about 8 watts of power. If I turn the power control up, the display defaults back to 8 watts. In the config menu I have the tune power set to 20 watts. I reloaded the firmware to make sure there wasn't a glitch in the loading. The same problem still occurs. The only other troubleshooting I did was to change the TX ALC (in the config menu) to OFF When I tune up with the TX ALC off, I can get full power out from the radio, so I assume that I do not have a component failure problem. Has anyone experienced this or know of any settings which I may have inadvertently changed? 73 de K6SBA David in Santa Barbara, CA __ 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] CW listening pitch
Hi, I misstated: Should have been the best was several hundred HZ away from what I thought was optimum... I did a number of tests to see what I liked, vs what was best based on my ear pass-band, (based on the hearing test), my best guess was 680, my best based on ear pass-band was closer to 490. The 490 is far batter than my best guess was. I had actually placed the CW side tone in a narrow -15 db null, almost exactly. I asked the audiologist about that, and she indicated it might be related to me never actually hearing anything much at 680 Hz, and the perception that when I set CW to the null it seemed in the clear for me. I have verified that I copy better at 490, vs 680 Hz, by setting zero and listening to similar stations at high speed and looking at my copy. -- Thanks and 73's, For equipment, and software setups and reviews see: www.nk7z.net for MixW support see; http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/mixw/info for Dopplergram information see: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/dopplergram/info for MM-SSTV see: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/MM-SSTV/info On Sat, 2015-02-28 at 14:01 -0800, Phil Wheeler wrote: Re I had a hearing test, and the best frequency was several hundred HZ away from my optimum Best is not the same as optimum?

Re: [Elecraft] CW listening pitch
The message does not include pitch, but it is my opinion from years of copying cw that the best pitch is a function of the listeners hearing. It is worth some effort to determine the best pitch for your ears, as we get older we have dead spots which are a function of your experience, so while I like around 550 to 600, you may like a different pitch as if you are trying to copy a frequency that is in your dead spot, you may have a harder time than if you move it some.

Re: [Elecraft] CW listening pitch
440 Hz is A above middle-C. Middle C is 261.6 Hz. Yes. I believe that's the universal orchestral tuning pitch. My XYL and I have a running joke. When we go to anything musical, and the orchestra commences tuning, I ask What's that? She says A and we're ready to enjoy another performance. 73, George T Daughters, K6GT CU in the California QSO Party (CQP) October 3-4, 2015 __ 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] I want to plug a keyboard into my PX3
I think the current PX3 project is Fixed-Tune mode, Josh. Phil W7OX On 2/28/15 4:40 PM, Josh Walton wrote: We are close to entering into the second quarter of 2015. Consumers have not had a major update to the firmware of the PX3 in some time. For me, one of the major selling points of the PX3 was the promise of RTTY and PSK32, both send and receive. Can we get an update to as to the status of these features, and possibly some insight into the roadmap for this product? No criticism, I love my PX3, just want to know what/when to expect these new and promised features.
