Re: [Elecraft] K3 QSK CW Audio Dropouts

[Petr Ourednik]

Hi Wayne,

Many thanks! 
The ATU switching is not the case probably because my ATU was
bypassed...
I will try to check what will be changed when old/new QSK is used. 
I will report the results. 

Best regards,

[Elecraft] First ever receive on 2200 meters with K3

[ejkkjh]

Last night WH2XRR was on 2200 meters WSPR, I copied him all night with my K3 
modified for LF receive.  This was my first ever receive on the LF 2200 meter 
Ham band.  K3 did a great job.  I am using the K3, Signalink, and double size 
G5RV, with both sides tied together into the K3 receive antenna port, center 
pin.  WH2XRR is about 131 km from my QTH, I think he was the only US station on 
last night.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 Drifts in Transmit

[Don Wilhelm]

Ron,

Does the displayed frequency change?
Is there some drag on the VFO tuning knob?  If the knob is 
"free-wheeling", it can drift from its position easily.


It may be that a solder connection in the PLL Reference Oscillator, or 
the BFO or the VFO has developed some oxidation over the years.
Reflow the soldering in those areas.  To identify the components, look 
at the RF Board schematic sheet 1 - everything on the top of that sheet 
has to do with the PLL and VFO.  The BFO is on the lower right corner of 
sheet 2.

Today when I saw the rig drifting again I placed the rig on the dummy load.
It will continue to drift until I turn it off and wait 10 seconds then turn

[Elecraft] [OT] Headphone Splitter - Not The Kind You May Be Thinking

[Joel Black]

I am looking for a stereo headphone splitter - with a caveat…

I need a 3.5 mm (F) to Y 3.5 mm (M) with each connector on the “Y” male. Each 
male plug needs TRS.

I have ordered something from Amazon.com  advertised as 
just that and it turned out that it was a Y adapter for mic / headphone. 
Problem is, mic is just TR. I need TRS on each male connector.

I realize I may have to resort to making something, but it would be easier to 
just buy something like that.

Have any of you seen anything like what I’m describing? I’m coming up empty.

I suggest a trip to R S, buy the connectors and make your own. Although 
our R S is 20 miles each way, at least I know what I have and it is 
exactly as I need.  And while at R S, buy several male and female 
connectors of different configurations.   That way if I need something 
different the parts are in the parts bin.Don't bother with their 
"already made up" stuff.  You won't have a clue what's in the molded 
connectors.

[Elecraft] K2 Drifts in Transmit

[WB3AAL]

Hello,

 Wondering if anyone has the same issue with their K2.

K2 is a QRP radio SN 01392.

 This happened to me two times today. Occasionally when I come down into the
shack and turn on the K2 I will tune around for a few minutes looking for
anyone calling CQ. When I hear a station I will send my call sign. When I go
to give the usual RST, name and QTH the VFO will drift up. The weird thing
is that I can clear the problem by turning off the radio, wait 10 seconds,
and then turn it back on. The VFO is stable and will not drift while I
transmit.

Today when I saw the rig drifting again I placed the rig on the dummy load.
It will continue to drift until I turn it off and wait 10 seconds then turn
it back on. Like I said it does not happen all the time.

 Ahh!!  I remember those days well.  Back when I was a young-un  a feed line
connection went south about 3 hours into SS.  Had to climb the tower at
night with a flashlight in my mouth at about the same temp. to replace a
coax run.  Took several hours for the feeling to return to my fingers and
that was before computer keying.  My wife still thinks that was one of the
main reasons that triggered my plunge into senility.

Good luck es see you this weekend.

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] Headphone Splitter - Not The Kind You May Be Thinking

I agree.  I just completed making a couple of "pig tails" that exit from 
the MIC connector on the mike cable, radio end,  and they end up with a 
light touch momentary switch that serves as my PTT switch, hand held.  
Also use the same cable for my "stomp to talk" switch on the floor.  
I've also used the RG-74  cable for the EXT Speaker output from the 
radio to the two speakers sitting beside the radio. Sure makes the AFX 
function sound great.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

The reason for wanting them is so I only have to use one set of headphones and 
CW key between my K3 and KX3. I guess I’m just lazy - I could just disconnect 
and re-connect depending on what rig I want to use. :)

Thanks again.

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] Headphone Splitter - Not The Kind You May Be Thinking

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

Ah, not  a good idea at all.  In using a "hard wire" type of Y cable, 
for your application, you will end up connecting the audio output of the 
K3 to the audio output of the KX3 through the Y cable.I doubt that 
one radio will like driving the output stage of another radio and could 
damage one or both radios.


You will need some form of isolation system or amplification.   I 
suggest a small inexpensive mixing amplifier for the job.  For my 
application I use a Behringer UB 802.   The line level or aux output 
from each radio connects to a separate input of the mixer.  The 
headphones connect to the internal mixer headphone amp.  I can then 
control the level from each radio to the headphones and the headphone 
overall level.


As to using a Y cable to connect one CW key to two radios, you will be 
likely keying both radios at the same time, unless you take steps to 
have one radio off and one radio on.  Again, a Y connector is not the 
correct way to handle this method.


Better is to use a box that will switch the output of each radio to the 
headphones making sure that only one radio at a time can be selected.  
This also applies the the CW key.Someone recently suggested using a 
two port printer switch, the one which has the 25 pin connectors on the 
rear.  These are also known as an A/B switch. Even  then you will have a 
good bit of wiring to accomplish.


Lazy is not the proper term.  Doing it correct is the proper method and 
a Y connector isn't it.

[Elecraft] [K2] Mic bias bypass?

[Neil Martinsen-Burrell]

I am wanting to connect a computer headset to my K2.  I bought the K2 used
along with an Icom HM-12 hand mic that I have used successfully.  I haven't
opened the radio up to see what the bias resistor is inside of the K2, but
I measure +5V between pin 1 and pins 7 and 8 of the microphone connector.
I believe that means that a bias resistor has been connected internally to
put the bias voltage that the HM-12 needs on pin 1. (As a sidenote, trying
to measure the bias on pin 6 with my DMM appears to reboot the
microprocessor, sending the LCD screen back to "ELECRAFT"!!)

I am not sure about the bias needs of the headset that I have, which I
intend to use for infrequent SSB contesting. Following a recent message on
this reflector, I measured the resistance from tip to sleeve of the
microphone plug at 830 ohms. That message suggested that such a low
resistance would be indicative of a dynamic microphone element.  The
headset works fine with Skype on a laptop if that means anything.

I've got a mic plug and a female inline 1/8 socket and I will be making an
adapter for the headset. I want to be able to change from the hand
microphone to the headset without making internal changes on the K2, of
course. Ideally, I would like to use the same 1/8 inch to 8-pin adapter for
soundcard digital modes with the K2.

What should I do about the bias on microphone pin 1? Should I just use the
headset as-is, risking distorted audio with a dynamic microphone fed 5
volts of bias? Should I include a blocking capacitor (of what value?) in
the adapter that I build?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

[Tom]

Hello,
The latest release of Win4K3Suite, version 1.774 contains performance 
optimizations for QSY’s originating in third party software such as HRDLogbook, 
N1MM+, DXLabs etc. 
Win4K3Suite is a comprehensive Windows based control program for the Elecraft 
K-Line and the KX3, supporting all hardware options available.  It is possible 
to control almost every control available including menu items and tech mode 
menu items.  In addition, Win4K3Suite supports export and import of settings 
and operating parameters of the radios.
The software includes support for the P3 and SVGA adapters with the use of a 
video capture board,  as well as the IQ out from the KX3 and LPPAN with an easy 
to use built in panadapter application.
Win4K3Suite integrates with almost any third party application such as HRD 
Logbook and DM780, DXLabs, LOG4OM, N1MM, CWSkimmer etc. The integration allows 
you to use all of the features of your favorite software with an enhanced 
control capability.
You can see the software in action here:

[Elecraft] Grrrrr!

[Dauer, Edward]

Is it a necessary corollary of Murphy’s Law that a multi-band Vee that has been 
flying just fine for nearly three years would have its feedline connections 
corrode and break, without being touched, on the morning of the first day of 
the Sweepstakes, at the highest and most inaccessible point of the antenna, and 
when the morning temperature (here at 8,600 ft elevation) was 9.7 F?

[Elecraft] K-3 whine when audio gain at zero

Hi,


Recall reading about others with this problem, but cannot locate it using

My issue is intermittent. Had it briefly before, but mysteriously disappeared.

Sounds as though digital noise is getting into the analog ground. Make 
sure all connections  between the radio and power supply are clean and 
tight.  Also, check the ground between the radio ground terminal and the 
power supply ground terminal.


Has anything been added to the station in terms of equipment?  Also make 
sure all PL-259 connectors are more than finger tight.  I use a pair of 
4" Channel Lock pliers to snug them when I add or remove something.

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] Headphone Splitter - Not The Kind You May Be Thinking

[Fred Townsend]

Joel:
I'm not sure from your description exactly what your application is and whether 
you need gain. For many years I have been using an amplified "one to three 
splitter". It is stereo with a male input and three female outputs. The circuit 
appears to be six emitter followers, two for each output, so there is isolation 
with power gain but no voltage gain. It is powered by two AA cells that seem to 
last forever but I only use the splitter when using the K3 and have a guest in 
the shack and we are putting on the cans to keep other members of the household 
happy. I understand you wanted male outputs but that is easily converted by 
plugging in male to male cables.
I got the first one from the manufacturer and latter picked up 3 more when RS 
was closing them out. I have since seen them advertised by other online 
sellers. Would this solve your problem?

Subject: [Elecraft] [OT] Headphone Splitter - Not The Kind You May Be Thinking

I am looking for a stereo headphone splitter - with a caveat…

I need a 3.5 mm (F) to Y 3.5 mm (M) with each connector on the “Y” male. Each 
male plug needs TRS.

I have ordered something from Amazon.com  advertised as 
just that and it turned out that it was a Y adapter for mic / headphone. 
Problem is, mic is just TR. I need TRS on each male connector.

I realize I may have to resort to making something, but it would be easier to 
just buy something like that.

Have any of you seen anything like what I’m describing? I’m coming up empty.

One of the tricky parts of making Y-cables is finding cable that's small

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 tuning noise on 12M

Bob,

Turn to page 40 in the manual and look at the VFO NR menu.  It is a 
per-band setting.  Try setting it ON for 12 meters and see if the noise 
is cured.

I’m doing it now with DXLab. I’m using the K3, but there’s no reason the K3s 
should be any different.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 tuning noise on 12M

[Walter Underwood]

This is the internal encoder signal being picked up by the very sensitive 
receiver.

Look up the VFO NR menu option. It should be on page 42 of your KX3 manual. You 
can turn that ON per-band to reduce the noise.

Also see the “Tuning Noise Suppression Modification” app note on this page: 
http://www.elecraft.com/KX3/kx3_app_notes.htm

"Factory assembled KX3s from serial number 4668 up, and kits from serial number 
4753 up that include the KXFL3 option have been shipped with the updated board.”

Re: [Elecraft] K3S: CW keying via USB question

[Richard Ferch]

Yes, and yes - but N1MM+ and DXLab Suite use different methods to do this.

In DXLab Suite, in the WinWarbler Config window under the CW tab select 
"Xcvr Ctrl App" as the Keying method. Commander must be running. 
WinWarbler will direct Commander to use radio control commands to send CW.


There is a way to force N1MM+ to use the method used by DXLab suite, by 
using user-programmed radio control macro commands, but this is a clumsy 
kluge that disables some of N1MM+'s features, as described in the 
on-line N1MM+ documentation. With a K3 or K3S (as distinct from a KX3), 
there is a better alternative that supports the full range of features 
in N1MM+, namely the one that is described in the next paragraph.


In N1MM+, check the CW/Other check box beside the COM port number you 
are using for radio control, click on the Set button, and set DTR to CW. 
On the K3/K3S, set CONFIG:PTT-KEY to OFF-DTR. This is for VOX/QSK 
operation; if you want to have the computer control PTT, in the N1MM+ 
configuration set RTS to PTT, and on the K3/K3S set CONFIG:PTT-KEY to 
RTS-DTR.


DXLab Suite cannot use the method used in N1MM+ because it does CW and 
radio control from two different programs that cannot share a single 
serial port.

Rich VE3KI

Re: [Elecraft] First ever receive on 2200 meters with K3

[n3...@n3cxv.com]

Good Morning All,
 Below is a cut and paste from an email to Emory earlier today:
  
  I just read your email to the Elecraft email list.
 The rig I am using is a K3 with the new Synth boards and general coverage 
band pass boards.
 I have the KXV3 set to "test". That turns on the transverter in/out which 
I use for rx and tx.
 The tx out gives me about -30 dBm. I then use two Minicircuits ZHL-32 amps 
with some attenuation to get to +8 dBm.
 That drives the Hafler P3000 amp to about 200 watts out.
 Output on 630 meters from the K3 is about 1.5 dBm, so not much 
amplification to get some decent drive.
  The K3 dynamic range really comes into play on 630. I have WH2XXC about 
12 miles from me. He is + 25 db as reported by WSPR, yet I can still decode 
stations during his transmit segment that are -25 db as reported by WSPR.
 Gotta love that K3.

  
 Take care.
 Bill
 N3CXV / WH2XRR

I just figure it's the digital equivalent of dirty capacitor plates in the old,

Unlike dirty capacitor plates, I can't see where to blow out the dust.  :-)

The good stuff is made by Switchcraft and Neutrik, and can be bought

[Elecraft] Help with a K3 Macro

[KC6CNN]

I am trying to create a Macro for my K3. 
It is to keep me from having to lean up and hit buttons. Man that makes me
sound so lazy. 

I am trying to get the Text Dec THR screen to come up and change the value
and then go away. 
I can get the screen to come up and even get it to go back to the normal
screen on the K3. 
But I cant get it to change the THR value. 
I am looking to have it change from 2 to 3 to 4 and 5. 
Can anyone help me with this?
Here is what I have so far. 
SWH40 to have the CWT held which brings up the THR screen. Then the Same
SWH40 at the end to make it go away. 
Now how do I change the value?
Any help would be appreciated, and my radio desk is very wide, like 4 feet
so radio sits at the back and I sit up front so now you understand the
leaning. hihi 

Thanks
Gerald - KC6CNN

Re: [Elecraft] Help with a K3 Macro

Hi
Once you see the THR screen, issuing an UP or DN or UPB on DNB should do the 
trick except that it wasn't in the firmware the last I checked. However Wayne 
did add some firmware commands recently. I'm not sure if these were added. They 
were to my knowledge, 4 out of 5 missing commands in the whole k3 command set.
