Re: [Elecraft] Which hand-held PTT switch? OT

[David Cutter]

Sorry for the thread drift, but, has there ever been an investigation into 
response time of hitting the PTT and beginning to speak?  Occasionally I 
hear the first syllable being lost and I've wondered if this is due to time 
delays in the equipment or the user, or both.  Brings back memories of 
bucket-brigade delay-lines.

Re: [Elecraft] Which hand-held PTT switch?

[George Winship, NC5G]

Peter,

I am assuming that you are using a K3. On my K2 I use a headset. I have a
hand key and a set of paddles hooked to the K2. On SSB I merely depress the
hand key or the dot paddle to key the transmitter. Don't know if this works
on the K3.

73, George NC5G  


Which handheld PTT switch do you like and where did you get it? Did it
already have a RCA connector on it or did you have to rig one yourself?

I'm in the middle of the CQ WW contest and finding I could really use this.

Thanks

W0VLL

Re: [Elecraft] Which hand-held PTT switch?

[Jim Vohland]

Don't use myself but another plus for the heil footset is the two position 
micro switch which allows keying two equipments. First would key the amp and 
then with slight delay, keys the transceiver. Lot of people like that feature. 
I like vox.

A foot switch from a music store works well, too.

Re: [Elecraft] Which hand-held PTT switch?

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

Although I made my own applications, Bob Heil has a nice foot switch 
that works as a "stomp to talk" switch.  Also Granger has an assortment 
of foot switches although the may a bit over kill for the application.


For my station, I made a pigtail using some small coax like RG-177 or 
174, {can't recall which} with a momentary switch attached and it is 
then connected to the terminals inside the MIC connector.  This pigtail 
just lays around on the desk and is easy to use.Since I use a boom 
mounted mike, this works and is convenient.Then I made my own foot 
switch using an old "stomp box" case obtained from a local music store.  
Since it had two holes,  I have two switches on the "stomp box".  One 
switch is momentary and one switch is latching thus "stomp to talk, 
stomp to listen".

I always use VOX, directional microphones, and headphones.  I can't imagine
depressing a footswitch every time I transmit.  I wouldn't want to tie up
one hand for a PTT switch in a contest either.

Not a direct answer to your question, but I use a foot pedal with a
headset/boom mic combination. That way, my hands are completely free for
logging and making station adjustments.

I have the Heil Proset K2 and when contesting I use VOX
I did spend the cash and got the Heil trigger switch that plugs in the 
PTT port of the adapter set.

Re: [Elecraft] Dropped First Syllable

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I have seen that with both PTT and VOX in Ham and commercial operations. The
VOX issue is well known. In PTT some operators develop the habit of starting
to speak before fully depressing the PTT switch. I've watched operators do
that repeatedly without realizing it even after they were aware that they
tended to do that.

Re: [Elecraft] Dropped First Syllable

[Fred Jensen]

The original meaning of the acronym PTT was "Push, Then Talk." 
Somewhere in history, the comma was dropped and "Then" became "To.":-)


I had a colleague [retired Col] who essentially never mastered "Point 
and Click" regardless of how many times I explained, "First point to the 
'thing', then click."  He consistently would click, then move the mouse. 
 Same kind of problem.

Re: [Elecraft] KRC2 rs232 to cpu not working

That may not be necessary.   I'm working from memory which is a 
horrible thing to try and use but if I recall correctly each of the 9

It is important to understand that the DB9 connectors on the KRC2 ARE 
NOT for an RS232 connection, and, in general, will NOT WORK with 
standard RS232 cables. It's wiring is VERY different, because the 
product was originally designed to work with the K2 remote control, 
which is also very different from RS232. Wiring is shown in the manual 
(Fig 6).


On the DB9 connectors, ONLY pins 2, 3, and 5 are used for serial 
control, and are wired to corresponding pins on a computer serial port.


I used to have two KRC2s in my station controlling sets of W3NQN 
bandpass filters with the Array Solutions switchbox. I don't remember 
details of the hookup, but the manual clearly shows how the KRC2 can be 
configured for a variety of uses.


One very useful piece of information is that band data from the K2 and 
K3 to the KRC2 is contained in the single AUX Bus circuit, which I 
implemented with a coax cable between my K3 15-pin AUX connector and the 
KRC2. That bus is Pin 6 on the DB9 connectors.

Re: [Elecraft] JT65 audio noise

[k5oai]

use the Lo <--CUT --> Hi to expand the bandwidth to 0 or 100 on the low end
and 4000 or 4100 on the top end. I set this up in the II setting so I can
return to it easily. Once you have set it up it should stay in memory the
next time you are in DATA on that band. Although sometimes I find I have to
reset it if is forgets my settings for some unknown reason.

[Elecraft] K2 - Unstable power output on 40m (digital modes)

[Brian - N5BCN via Elecraft]

I'm having an issue with unstable power output using digital modes on 40m
above about 20 watts.  All other bands seem to be ok.

My antenna setup is as follows: a loop consisting of about 245 feet of wire,
feed line consists of about 21 feet of 450 ohm ladderline to an Elecraft BL2
balun, then about 3 feet of coax to KAT100/KPA100/K2.  I've tried the balun
in 1:1 and 4:1 configs with no apparent change.  The feed point of the loop
is in the attic above the shack, but the majority of the wire is outside
running along a wood fence.

No problems tuning any band including 40m.  When using digital modes, power
output and ALC action (no bars) appears normal on 10 through 30m, and even
works ok on 80m.  Haven't tried 160m.

However, when attempting digital modes (using a Signalink) on 40m, power
output and ALC action is "all over the place" and generally folds back to a
couple of watts.  The output also seems to be extremely "touchy" and
sensitive to the TX drive setting on the Signalink that's not apparent on
other bands.  I don't see this craziness using a dummy load, so I'm
suspecting maybe I'm getting RF feedback only on 40m for some reason.

I'm not sure what to try to mitigate this.  The variables I could change
would be to increase/decrease the ladderline length, try a more robust
balun, or maybe try a counterpoise wire tied to the balun's ground lug?  Any
ideas and suggestions would be most appreciated, I sure would like to be
able to use 40m!

73 Brian, N5BCN

I teach beginners to push the switch, take a breath, and then start
