Re: [Elecraft] K3 Remote

[Gerry Hull]

Hey Fred and group,

You can do that to put the K3 into TERM mode, but there is absolutely no
reason to do it.
It will happen automatically.   I hoping that people don't use the "Push
the MENU button for 5 seconds" as Standard Operating Procedure.
It is an indication that you have another issue.

"Setting up the RemoteRig box is a non-trivial process."

Unfortunately,  The RemoteRig products are great stuff, but they are
designed to be used by a lot of different radios.
The documents Brandon and the team have put together from Elecraft are
good, but can be confusing if you don't pay close attention.

The RRC boxes are very configurable -- which is a good thing if you know
what's going on, but can be terrible of your not
sure what settings do.

Tie that with the fact that the manuals are many revs behind the actual
firmware, and it's a recipe for frustration for new guys.

Setting up the station-side router forwards are pretty straightforward, but
if you don't know internet routing, it can lead to trouble.

I've put together 6 different remote stations using RRCs now, so I have a
pretty good handle on the recipe, especially for the K3 twins.

I think I'll do a blog post with this recipe, also talking about the
pitfalls you can run into.  I'll post a link on the reflector here when I'm
done.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft] KX3 - easiest way to panadapt?

[Chris Rutkowski]

Hi Ed. 

When the other fellow (sorry, just went blank on his name) said u need a good 
sound card, he was right, mostly. The better the soundcard the better nap3 will 
work. However, when I first started - say, the first 3 months or so, I used the 
soundcard built into my Old Dell D620 laptop (W7), and it worked plenty well 
enough to get me hooked on panadapters. Biggest limitation is that the maximum 
bandwidth with the old dell (based on the bandwidth of the soundcard) was 48khz 
- where's my pricy external soundcard allows 192Khz. .  That may sound like a 
big deal, but truth be known since im a cw and rtty guy, I don't find much more 
than 50khz to be all that useful. Point is, as long as whatever MIC input u use 
is STEREO, you can  use it and gain experience with it. 

Should mention that according to the author of NaP3, comocon works  with NaP3. 
In fact he stated he prefers it because it loads faster. 

Detail: if u use lp-bridge, be sure to put NaP3 on the "set port."

As for what's easiest and best... It depends on you. I own Win4k3. It is an 
interesting program, that brings lots to the table. However, for me, the only 
piece that was (is) of real interest is the panadaptor.  You can download a 
trial and test for yourself.  Personally, so far, I strongly prefer NaP3 as a 
panadapter.. But of course, there is no right or wrong regarding taste.

 what do I like? I LOVE that NaP3 can put spots right on the spectrum. Worth 
its weight in gold. I also love working Rtty and CW: positioning yourself in a 
pileup is incredibly easy. I just got a feature working called the data/text 
window, which displays decoded data or CW in one window and allows u to type in 
the other. 

For now, I count nap3 as second to my rig and antenna in importance to my 
enjoyment of the hobby. 

 After all, I can still use a paper log if I have to...

I have a KX3.  I would like to use my computer and laptop ( Windows 7 and
Windows 8 ) to display a spectrum from my KX3, using the RX I/Q output.
What is the simplest and recommended easiest way to do this?  NaP3 ?  

I use my KX3 mostly on digital modes  with SignaLink USB interface and
sometimes with just the laptop soundcard interface.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Remote

[James F. Boehner MD via Elecraft]

Fred, agreed.  I'm glad I had someone with experience to help me set up the
RemoteRig Box.

To put the K3 in TERM mode, hold in the menu button for 5 seconds.  To
restore to normal operation, repeat the procedure.

David sent me the K3-K3S Remote FAQ which has a lot of good information on
remote operation.  The K3/0 manual has a lot of good information as well.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft] KX3 - easiest way to panadapt?

[Tom]

Hi Ed,
Com0com provides a virtual comport pair that acts like a null modem cable. It 
can be used to connect two software packages together as long as one has the 
necessary logic such as Win4k3Suite.
Win4k3 has a built in router that listens on special ports for commands from 
other software and then sends them to the radio or returns data. It connect to 
the other software through com0com. It effectively provides lpbridge 
functionality.  Thus in Win4k3, you can hook up nap3 to work through win4k3 and 
it thinks its connected to a k3.
Hope this explains it. You can find a full explanation in the win4k3 manual.

Putting on my audio engineer's hat, THAT'S the likely cause -- that is, 
the "gain staging" is all wrong. The K3 has reasonably high output from 
the headphone amp, and you should be setting the audio gain in the K3 in 
it's normal range. Turning down the K3 AF gain and setting the Bose 
phones for high is a RECIPE for hiss, and may be the cause of the clicks 
too.

[Elecraft] PX3 keyboard locking

[Charles]

Today I gave the new PX3 1.35 beta a test in the JARTS RTTY contest.  Although 
my vanilla USB keyboard works ok, the transmit buffer would lock after the 
first transmission. I discovered that this was caused by beginning a second 
transmission before the transmitted text appears at the upper part of the 
screen.  The only way to recover from a lock is by turning the PX3 off and on.  
Has anyone duplicated these symptoms, or is there an obvious cause?

Otherwise, the new software is VFB!

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Popping noise in headphones??

[Jim Bolit]

I use the BW control a lot as most of my work is weak signal CW.
There was no popping before, and my ears are "on max gain" with weak signals, 
that are at or near the noise floor.  The popping is VERY annoying and at times 
it "hurts" the ears when digging for signals and changing the BW control from 
200 Hz to 150 Hz, to 100 Hz and finally to 50 Hz.  The popping is present as I 
rotate the BW control back to wider bandwidths also, but the popping stops once 
above 200 Hz bandwidth.

Hi Jim,

I also do a lot of digging for weak signals, but I rarely go narrower 
than 200 Hz because I find the filter ringing on noise takes over. Yes, 
I'm using the optimal setting to minimize ringing.


If you're hearing the popping and others are not, perhaps you're using 
more AF gain and less RF gain than they are. If so, I suggest adjusting 
that ratio in the direction of less AF gain and see if you can reach a 
happy compromise. As an OT CW op, I do recognize the virtue of not using 
excessive RF gain.


And maybe Wayne can do something about the switching transient in a 
future firmware firmware release.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Hex Key Serial # 57

[w7aqk]

Hi All,

I'm a bit late responding, but I haven't seen quite the answer I would have 
given.  So, here's my suggestion.


The "no skid" shelf liner stuff is good, but I've found a particular type 
that seems to work best.  It's actually the cheaper type.  At places like 
Walmart you will find several versions of this stuff.  The more expensive 
versions (although none of them are all that expensive) usually has a very 
simple pattern with small, rounded "bubbles" on top.  This liner won't move, 
but the top surface is too slick, and things on top may move around. 
Instead, go for the "cheap" stuff, which is thinner, and has an even tighter 
(and somewhat irregular) pattern.  I don't know how else to describe it, and 
that doesn't give you much to go on, but I almost always see it available at 
Walmart, and it is the lower priced option.  If I remember to I will check 
the stock number the next time I'm in Walmart.  It's also the same type and 
pattern I saw supplied quite often in small squares with some of the paddles 
that used to be offered as kits.  Anyway, this stuff won't typically slide 
around on whatever surface you put it on, and more importantly, things on 
top of it don't tend to slide around  much either.  I buy this stuff and cut 
it to shape for my dashboard to hold all sorts of things, including cell 
phones, etc.


That said, a paddle without much mass can be problematic no matter what you 
place it on--unless you actually fasten it down somehow.  That's one (of 
many) reasons I really like the Begali paddles, and other offerings as well 
such as the ones from Tony, N3ZN.  These paddles have a lot of mass, and 
that, to me, is critical.  To send properly with a paddle, it must be very 
stationary.  Rubber feet rarely do the job.  The surface contact just isn't 
sufficient.


Something I've thought about, but never tried, is using some of these small 
"super" magnets.  You could glue 4 of these down on your dashboard in the 
appropriate spots, and if necessary, add a small, thin steel plate to the 
bottom of your paddle.

I use the BW control a lot as most of my work is weak signal CW.
There was no popping before, and my ears are "on max gain" with weak

and at times it "hurts" the ears when digging for signals and changing the
BW control from 200 Hz to 150 Hz, to 100 Hz and finally to 50 Hz.  The
popping is present as I rotate the BW control back to wider bandwidths also,

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Popping noise in headphones??

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Jim,

I have an older K3 with new SYN boards. I also have the 500Hz and 200Hz
filter. I just tested it on CW and I can hear a very faint pop when turning
the bandwidth knob. As you noted, it seems to be present only at the narrow
settings. I start to hear it when changing from 350 to 300 and below. It's
loudest when changing from 150 to 100. 

Having said that, it's faint to the point that I can't be sure if it was
there before the SYN changeover or not. It certainly doesn't bother me even
with high audio levels.

73,
Mike K2MK

[Elecraft] [KX3] KX3 - easiest way to panadapt?

[Gary Hawkins]

Hi Ed,

I use HDSDR V2.7 as my panadaptor.  I take the KX3 I/Q output and feed 
this via a ground loop isolator to the soundcard on my i7 computer.  
Except for a residual peak around 0Hz it works great. I'm able to see 
plus/minus 22KHz around radio freq.


In addition, I used HRD V5.24 for radio control, plus DM780 (part of 
HRD) for digital and the logbook within HDR.  For JT65/JT9 I use WSJT-X 
V1.5 and JTAlertX (to ensure I don't duplicate contacts). All radio 
control is synchronized across platforms, although I'm sure I could 
probably set it up more elegantly.  All software is available for free.


I've got the KX3 running 10W digital without any overheating issues 
(after temperature compensation, addition of third party heat sink and 
placing small dual-computer fan under the KX3).  I also use a SignalLink 
to connect the computer to audio connections on the KX3. The rest of the 
station consists of 75ft coaxial run to a mini-G5RV at 20ft center height.


I've completed over 700 digital contacts since May using a variety of 
modes (primarily JT65, JT9, RTTY and PSK31) and bands (mostly 40, 20 and 
15m).  I'm 2 states away from mixed WAS - just need DE and VT.  Overseas 
contacts are more difficult to come by but casual participation mainly 
in RTTY contests has got me to 25 DXCC entities.  I can hear loads of 
overseas stations, I just don't have the power to get back to them.  The 
panadaptor is invaluable for locating band activity particularly during 
contests.  If fact, it's safe to say I would not buy another radio 
unless it offered this facility.


I also use PSKreporter.  This is a great way to see who can hear your 
digital transmissions and gives you confidence that you are getting out 
when sometimes CQs go unanswered.


Please let me know if you need further information.

I have a KX3.  I would like to use my computer and laptop ( Windows 7 and
Windows 8 ) to display a spectrum from my KX3, using the RX I/Q output.
What is the simplest and recommended easiest way to do this?  NaP3 ?

I use my KX3 mostly on digital modes  with SignaLink USB interface and
sometimes with just the laptop soundcard interface.

Help please.  I’m running N1MM through USB comm port to K3s and can’t key the 
rig on CW from N1MM. I seem to have CAT control of QRG, modes and audio as I 
can use MMTTY from within N1MM on RTTY (not VOX).  Comm port is defined as 
suggested in N1MM but K3s is config PTT-KEY  “OFF-OFF”. I don’t know which of 
the 6 options within this menu to use as N1MM suggest RST and DTR always off.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Popping noise in headphones??

[jim]

Jim,

Thanks.

I sent the rig in to Elecraft for upgrades AND to see if they could sort out
the constant hiss (with the AF gain fully counter clockwise) that I heard in
the Bose headphones with them set at "hi" sensitivity.

I had them put the SYN's in, gold pins, 12 volt mod, etc. in addition to the
hiss problem.  I also included the Bose headphones (QC-15's) when sending
the rig to Elecraft.

They also upgraded firmware to latest factory revision, and I am
disappointed that the audio is now worse  (due to the popping noise) than
when it was sent in.

Others have complained about the hiss, others don't hear it, and I don't
hear it on a friend's K3 (using the same Bose headphones).  

Now I have the hiss and the popping noise when switching the DSP from 200 Hz
and down.  Interesting to note there is no popping when switching the DSP
from 200Hz and going higher in bandwidth, using the BW knob..

I have played with the AGC to see if that was causing the popping problem,
but to no avail.

[Elecraft] DX Doubler not TX on K3

[Jorge Diez - CX6VM]

Hello

 

After some years I wanted to connect DX Doubler again and have some problems
because I cannot transmit SSB or CW

 

I have both radios (K3) connected to two USB ports to CAT control (RS232),
is working fine

 

I have PIEXX for DXD connected to other USB

 

DXD seems to work fine, change audio and TX lights from between radio 1 and
2

 

BUT I cannot transmit on the K3!

 

Footswitch is OK, put radios on TX but didn´t transmit no RF

 

VOX on and I cannot send SSB in the mic or CW with the paddles connected in
the back of DXD

 

Any suggestions?

 

73,

Jorge

CX6VM/CW5W

Re: [Elecraft] K3S LP-Bridge Setup - How Does the K3S Know?

[Don Wilhelm]

Byron,

LP-bridge must connect to whichever real port is connected to the K3S.
Look in your computer's Device Manager (open Ports) to determine which 
COM port was assigned to the K3S USB to serial adapter, then tell 
LP-Bridge to connect to that port.

I do see how to SET the COM Ports in LP-Bridge, but I missed something 
in how to tell what they should be on the K3S side.  I would think I 
need CAT Control, Analog Audio (RTTY AFSK) and CW Keying.  What is the 
means by which I determine the K3S side of things?

[Elecraft] K3 FS: Pristine and Pampered K3 FS

[David and Dianne on Comcast]

Hi Everyone,

Your chance to own a pristine, pampered K3 with 
many options installed at a fraction of the cost new!


K3 #371 is in as-new cosmetic, mechanical and 
electronic condition. I am the original owner, a 
non-smoker, non-contester, non-dxpeditioner.  It 
has been covered when not used. Without blemish. 
Selling to downsize as I now prefer a simpler rig 
with real band-stacking registers.


-K3/100-K Transceiver (#371)
-(2) KSYN3AUPG Upgrades
-KAT3-K ATU
-KRX3-K Sub-Receiver
-KTCXO3-1 TCXO
-KDVR3-DVR
-(2) KFL3A-6K—6 kHz 8-pole in main RX and Sub-Rx 
for ESSB
-(2) KFL3A-2.8K—2.8 kHz 8-pole replacing stock 2.7 
kHz filters in main and Sub-RX

-(1) KFL3A-2.1K—2.1 kHz 8-pole in main Rx only
-(1) INRAD 700 Hz CW 8-pole in main Rx only

-K3DSPUPGD DSP Board Upgrade

-K3IOBUFFKT Mod
-REMIOUPGD Mod
-K3AFMDKT Mod

Does not have the KXV3A board installed but it was 
modified, according to Elecraft directions, to 
provide IF output to a BNC connector on the back, 
mounted on the panel over the bay for the KXV3A or 
B. Enables connection to a P3 that was running 
from this K3 until 2012.


All Elecraft (only) approved hardware mods have 
been installed except the 12 VDC OUT Current Mod. 
(Mod kit will be included. Install yourself, it’s 
easy). Other mods performed: the gold pin 
replacements on the PA and DSP board, the HAGC 
mods, the DSP board upgrade and the LPF installed 
on the new main DSP board.  Firmware: 5.38 MCU / 
DSP 2.86.  Both a Nifty Manual and Fred Casey's K3 
book will be included.


Total price new was approx. $ 4,800.00.  Selling 
Price is $2,795.00 Shipped Ground/Insured via UPS 
to the USA


No trades; I will not “part out”; USPS Money 
Orders preferred; No PayPal; Pix sent to 
interested parties.


Please contact me off list with your interest.

[Elecraft] K3 Remote

[Fred Jensen]

I'm setting up a RemoteRig control site using my K3 which I'll use to 
remotely operate W7RN.  Can someone tell me how my K3 gets into TERM mode?


Setting up the RemoteRig box is a non-trivial process.

[Elecraft] K3 Remote

[James Wilson]

Fred,

On the K3, press and HOLD the MENU button just as you would to get to the
Config Menu only hold it longer - several seconds. The display will change
to show "TERM".  You're there.

Do the same to return to NORMAL mode - or, when you turn the K3 off, it
will come back on in Normal mode.

Good Luck.

Jim - W4RKS
