Re: [Elecraft] Upgrade to KIO3B?

[Don Wilhelm]

Larry,

To work with the KIO3B you would eliminate the soundcard that is 
currently being used for the linein and lineout - it would also 
eliminate one USB to serial adapter, but yes, you would have to 
eliminate the Linein to the K3 (lineout can still work).


Since you already have your system running, and you already have the 
investment in the soundcard and USB to serial adapter, I would suggest 
that you not upgrade until those devices fail for you.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 RESET??

[Jack Brindle]

I’ll echo Cliff’s questions, and ask a few more. My reading of DDUtil says it 
extracts frequency information from the SDR and presents it to external
devices. Unless it has been expanded with further functionality, I don’t see
how it would key the amplifier.

With this in mind, please describe exactly how you have the KPA500 connected
to the FLEX, including the connected ports and signals.

Also, the answers to Cliff’s questions are important. If the asterisk does not
appear, then the amplifier is not seeing the PTT signal activated.

And, from what you have already said, the processor appears to be running just 
fine.
The CPU does a self check on power-up, which says that the program is just fine.
The fact that any information is being displayed also says that it is working. I
strongly suspect that the answer is elsewhere, most likely in the interfacing
to your rig and computer. With some more info, we should be able to help
you solve this riddle.

[Elecraft] Macros

[Larry Boekeloo]

Hi everyone,
I posted about 10 days ago regarding my Macro 1 and 2 not working.  I upgraded 
to the latest firmware/software and modified the macros.
Macro 1:  MNO53;DN;DN;DN;MN255;
Macro 2:  MNO53;DN;DN;DN;UP;UP;UP;MN255:
If I execute the macros from the K3 Utility, they work just fine.  If I execute 
them from PF1 or PF2, I am brought to the MIC SEL and have to manually select 
the mic input.  Prior to the latest software release, they worked fine on PF1 
and PF2.  Wayne guided me in adding the UP to Macro 2.
Am I missing something else???

Happy New Year to all and 73.
Larry, KN8N

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Notch Filter (Was Noise Blanker Comments)

[WD4SDC]

GM4JJJ wrote

I was thinking perhaps for the weak heterodyne issue, you could use the RX
EQ feature.  It is a broad brush, but it does have +/- 16dB of range in 8
bands.  I tried that and found something rather interesting.  The RX EQ is
applied *before* the AGC!  I never knew that - maybe I'm the only one. 
Makes sense since the IF is 0Hz - why waste AGC on energy I don't want. 
Kudos to the Elecraft engineers that thought that though the extra step!

The auto-notch feature is great for intermittent tuneups or other (multiple)
CW signals in the SSB passband, but it is applied after the AGC. That works
well if interferer is equal to or less than the level of the SOI (signal of
interest), but for the case where the interferer is much stronger than the
SOI, the AGC is dominated by the RFI and can make the SOI difficult to copy. 
At least the tone is not blasting away in my ear;)  But it does present a
problem.  

There is a work-around.  Use CW mode to receive the SSB signal, and harness
the power of the manual notch.  If in a QSO, use split mode to operate SSB
on transmit and CW mode on receive with the filters widened and pitch offset
removed to receive the SSB signal. Don't forget to turn off split when your
done! =:O.

I put the KX3 on the bench and measured the CW notch depth using the
built-in dBV meter.  I measured more than 60dB!  If I adjusted the VFO about
+10Hz, it was over 90dB!!!  How accurate is 90dB?? Well, call it +/-10dB and
you still get 80dB min!  That is a *considerable* RFI countermeasure.  And
the best part?  It is before the AGC!!!  

As an experiment, I tuned to 7255KHz where ECARS is active and used a siggen
to create a CW RFI in the middle of the passband at S9+20dB.  The auto-notch
completely removed the tone, but I could not copy the net - S meter still at
S9+20dB.  Switch to CW mode and adjust for SSB receive.  I could completely
remove the CW RFI with the manual notch - gone! And the AGC was now totally
operating on the signals - noise level was S2, signals were as low as S3. I
suppose technically the AGC was noise driven at S2, but that is the point -
no RFI. Note: for LSB use CW, for USB, use CWR.

This is a really cool thing.  I have, on occasion, had the problem of the
"antenna matching enthusiast" coming up in the middle of a QSO, and making
things challenging...for several minutes.  I guess they are going for that
last decimal point - and have no need for RX mode:\.  Using CW mode and the
CW notch in this situation makes it very easy to apply rule #1: Don't
acknowledge the presence of the interferer - because they are no longer
there!  This is especially useful if the RFI is not an "antenna matching
enthusiast", and does have RX mode :(.

Happy Holidays!

Steve

Re: [Elecraft] T1 Operational Question

[James Bennett]

There is a button on the front, that needs to be pushed until the green light 
on the left starts flashing. One then has three seconds to send RF to it for it 
to either recall a stored setting or re-tune to find the best match.

There is also a side jack where one can send the correct band data to it, if it 
is available from the transmitter.

Re: [Elecraft] T1 Operational Question

[Dave B via Elecraft]

Hi.

I don't know the T1, but...

The WSJT programs are all open source, so you can do anything you 
want/need to do with them, subject to tools and skills availability of 
course (the latter is often the stumbling block for most of us, sadly.)


The SoftRock kits:  The embedded micro controller they use for USB<>I2C 
work, may have a spare pin or two, or you can hang another I2C I/O chip 
on the I2C bus (a PCF8574 for example) to get generic digital I/O 
ports.   I've done that to control a bank of band filters between the 
antenna and a SoftRock here.  The hardware was fairly simple, 
re-engineering the software however, is an "ongoing" project...


The other way might be to check out what Hamlib has hiding, as that is 
used with the WSJT programs for rig control.  Maybe, there is something 
in there that can send simple one byte values to a simple UART IC, that 
you can then pull some identifying code from, to poke the T1 tuner to 
change bands.   Sadly, Hamlib on Windows is usually embedded in the main 
program, so you're stuck with what it has already.


With the KX3 (+ K3, and other Kenwood remote like radios) you can also 
put the rig into AutoInfo mode, where it will spit out (among other 
things) the working frequency periodically, and when things change.   
There are other kits and products about, that can decode that info, and 
set/clear a small array of I/O bits, specifically for changing 
antenna's, and kicking ATU's into life.   It does add to the overall 
complexity however.


There is bound to be a WSJT support list/forum somewhere, you could ask 
on that to see what may be possible already to suit you needs.


73 & Seasons Greetings.

Dave G0WBX.

Hi Wayne,

Thanks for the reply, but??. you are supposed to be wrapping Christmas 
presents!!!:-)

Understood about the size and cost thing. Unfortunately, it pretty much means 
that it is actually a ?semi-automatic? tuner. And, since the band changing is 
being done from within a program K1JT?s WSPR, I have a feeling I?ve got no way 
to do the remote control stuff per the manual. I?ll investigate the feasibility 
of user mods to WSPR, but not holding my breath at this point.

Thanks again, and have a happy holiday.

[Elecraft] FS: Rare Classic Norcal Sierra

[Pete Meier]

Happy Holidays All,

I promised myself it was one radio I would never sell. However, as I get older 
it seems foolish for such a wonderful radio to sit unused year after year. So I 
pulled it out of storage and put it on the air the other day and it works like 
“yesteryear”. I had a nice QSO with an Oklahoma station who gave me a nice 559 
from Colorado and said it sounded very nice.

It’s a true Norcal Sierra All Band Transceiver from 1996. I remember it was a 
labor of love putting it together and painting the case. I also remember 
working and reworking the case until it was as perfect as I could craft it. The 
radio puts out between 1.5 and 3 watts and has a hot receiver. I installed a 
bar-graph LED Smeter and Wayne’s variable crystal oscillator filter 
modification. It also includes the original KC-1 cw memory keyed and all the 
modules 10 through 160. Undoubtable the module could all use a good peaking and 
the 10 and 160 band modules are unbuilt. The case has nice snap-latches that 
allow for quick band module changes. The case is in excellent condition but the 
top and bottom have a few very minor paint nicks. Also included is the original 
1996 manual and a reprint of it along with some modification documentation 
including the KC-1 information.

This is a rare radio and one I have treasured so my price is $350 for all.  
Pictures can be sent if you are seriously interested.

[Elecraft] KPA500 RESET??

[joeduerbusch]

I got a new KPA500 for Christmas.  It worked fine.
But I tried to interface it with my FLEX-6300 using a program Called DDUTIL.
DDUTIL connected to both the Flex and KPA500 but now I have NO KPA500
keying.  Yes I have the PA Key hooked up.  Without the DDUTIL the KPA500
worked
and changed bands by RF.  That doesn't work either.

Is there a HARD RESET for the KPA500 as I think its computer is locked up

[Elecraft] Upgrade to KIO3B?

[Larry Libsch]

Group -

I'm wondering whether an upgrade to KIO3B would be a step 
forward or a step backward for me. My current setup, which works FB, 
uses two outboard USB sound cards. One outboard sound card runs CW 
Skimmer using a Softrock SDR, K3IF out, and one laptop USB port. The 
second sound card does digital modes and, having left and right 
channels, allows me to work RTTY SO2V in N1MM+. It uses the K3 line in 
and line out ports and a second laptop USB port. A third laptop USB 
connects the laptop to the K3 RS232 port for radio  control and logging. 
LP Bridge creates the virtual com ports that make the K3 logging 
software and sound cards work together. I use DXLab for routine logging, 
N1MM+ for contest logging.


My reading of the available info about the KIO3B is that when 
the USB port in the KIO3B is connected to a radio, the line in, line out 
ports will be disabled. How would I make my setup work with the KIO3B?

That is not correct.  The K3S analog "Line Out" audio goes to both the
input of the USB CODEC and the Line Out jack at all times.  Connecting
a plug to the Line In jack *disconnects* the output of the USB CODEC
and uses analog audio instead of the audio from the internal USB sound
card (USB CODEC).

The USB "serial port" can be used independently of the USB sound card
by making the appropriate selections in the configuration menu.

You could eliminate one USB sound card (for digital modes) and the USB
to serial converter in your SO2V configuration by using the KIO3B but I
doubt that you will see any increase in performance if the USB sound
card is of reasonable quality.

Are the first entries MNO53; (letter "oh") or MN053; (number 0)?

Is the last character of Macro 2 a ":" (colon) or a ";" (semi-colon)?

Re: [Elecraft] T1 Operational Question

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

I don't know the T1 either, but the design seems simple enough: it's 
meant to run on batteries, so one has to wake it up to do the tuning.


Does it need the band information to tune, or does it just need to be 
"tickled" somehow to wake up the tuner?


I see a few buttons that I'm guessing would "wake" the tuner and then 
it'd match the load and go back to sleep?

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 RESET??

[Cliff Frescura]

I find it hard to believe that the processor in the KPA is locked up. I've
done quite a bit of experimentation with the RS-232 port on it and have
never locked mine up and never had the need to attempt a reset?

Can you get to the menu of the KPA?  If so, it is not locked up.  However if
you unplug power from the amp and wait a minute to two it may have the same
effect.

How is the Flex connected to the amp?  Are the communication parameters the
same if you are using RS-232?

When you do attempt to key the amp, is there an asterisk (*) shown on the
KPA display?

When you changed bands on the Flex does the amp follow?

73,

Cliff K3LL

I got a new KPA500 for Christmas.  It worked fine.
But I tried to interface it with my FLEX-6300 using a program Called DDUTIL.
DDUTIL connected to both the Flex and KPA500 but now I have NO KPA500
keying.  Yes I have the PA Key hooked up.  Without the DDUTIL the KPA500
worked and changed bands by RF.  That doesn't work either.

Is there a HARD RESET for the KPA500 as I think its computer is locked up

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 RESET??

[joeduerbusch]

Hi Jack sorry to bother you on the weekend.  I did get  the KPA500
working.  Don't know what I did but I played around with the DDUtil a bit
and it started working.
The DDUtil acts as a bridge between the Flex and the KPA500.   The DDUtil
reads information from the Flex and send it to the KPA500.
It makes the KPA500 follow the Flex during band changes.  It also had a
features called AutoDrive that lets the user set the Amp drive and the
Barefoot drive.
It knows when the KPA500 is offline or off and sets the drive accordingly.

I do think it was inhibiting the PTT as even with the KPA500 in OPER there
was NO *.
Turning off the computer and turning off the KPA500 did not seem to reset
the problem.

I don't think it is an issue with the KPA500.

[Elecraft] k3 160 meter low output power

[John McBee]

Just wondering what might be wrong with a friend's K3.  It will only put 
out 85 watts on 160 meters.  All other bands put out 100 watts. I have 
done the calibration with the K3 Utility program, but no change.  Just 
curious to what might be wrong, or what I could check from him.  Thanks 
for the replies in advance.
Sorry if this was sent twice, chose the wrong reply address for this 
reflector.  Too many email accounts.

Re: [Elecraft] Upgrade to KIO3B?

[Edward R Cole]

Larry,

Considering your current configuration is working with the KIO3A, 
probably easier to stay with it.


My situation is a bit simpler as I just run digital modes with DATA-A 
and the line-in and line-out lines with my USB/RS232 conversion cable 
connecting RTS/DTR lines to the K3: "Not broken so why fix it?".


Having direct USB interface for my K3 offers little inducement to 
upgrade the KIO3.  I have two SYN boards to install which I will use 
on 630m very nicely and should possibly improve receive due to lower 
phase noise.


So like you, I will defer the upgrade...at least for now.

I am sticking with my old XP32 computer and will soon disconnect it 
from the internet, running exclusively ham applications.  My 
internet/e-mail will be transferred to a laptop which has win10.


If/when my old stuff croaks then upgrades may be in order, but my 
soundcards are not supported by win10 and most replacements do not 
check out well for my special applications (dual-pol adaptive 
reception of eme signals in diversity mode).

[Elecraft] Tuneup, Rescue, or Build your K2, K1, KX1, others

[Alan D. Wilcox]

Hello,

Have you always wanted an Elecraft? A KX1, K1, K2, K3, whatever? 
Does your K2 need a tuneup?
I build and service them all!

See what my clients have said about my construction and service work at 
http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/6768 


Photos of the popular "Twins" -- the KPA100 and KAT100 in EC2 enclosure --  are 
at
http://wilcoxengineering.com/kpa100-in-ec2/ 


In addition to tuning your rig, I can also rescue a building project you might 
have started some time ago.

Cheers,
Alan

[Elecraft] P3 Waterfall Off with SVGA Waterfall On???

[Ken Widelitz]

The bottom of page 30 of the P3 manual shows a photo with the waterfall
completely off on the P3 with the TX Mon option. The text immediately above
that photo states "Note that in this illustration the waterfall display is
turned off so the spectrum display and the waveform display fill the main
part of the screen."

 

I see the menu item under SVGA where I can turn the waterfall on or off. I
don't see that option for just the P3 display. What I would like to
accomplish is have the waterfall on the SVGA monitor, but not on the P3
display. Is that possible?

Re: [Elecraft] k3 160 meter low output power

[Richard W. Solomon]

First, what are you using for a load ? Antenna or Dummy Load. 
If it's a Dummy Load how good is the frequency response ? 

Next, what are you using for a wattmeter ?

RF Power Measurement is a difficult task, most folks swear by 
their Bird 43, which makes me cringe !! 

Where are you located ? I have an HP 438A with cal traceability 
and Sensor Heads and assorted power attenuators. I can measure 
RF Power to a very high degree of accuracy (it's frequency 
dependent also).

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Config Question

[Fred Jensen]

Short answer" No.  That said, you really want the long answer :-)

A great number of the P3 settings, like a K3, are on a per band basis. 
Change the band, and it remembers the settings for that band.  In the 
P3, much of this is because what works best on one band may not work all 
that well on another.


The 8 programmable function keys aren't enough for a selection of 
various options [like 2 SPAN's] and other parameters for each band. 
Everyone runs it different:  For me, globally:


Always fixed-tune mode
Full-screen shift
Spectrum Avg = max
WF mode = monochrome
WF Avg = min
FN1 = 200 KHz span
FN2 = 100 KHz span
FN3 = 25 KHz span
FN4 = 4 KHz span
Amplitude scale = dBm

I've still got 4 unused FN keys. :-)

I use full-screen shift [the whole next span when I tune off either end]

I use monochrome WF because I don't have any color vision, however 
several guest ops whose color vision is normal note that they can spot 
weaker signals in mono than they can with the color display.  I'd 
recommend you try both.


REF LVL:  The reference level will change from band to band and from 
time to time on the same band.  It is a reflection of reality ... that's 
what is really happening on the band, baseline noise [and noise 
characteristics for that matter] change with time, and we normally like 
the noise at the baseline.


Monitoring signals on the bands, the spectrum amplitude will NOT reflect 
the S-Meter.  You can calibrate it with a signal generator of course, 
but with max averaging in the spectrum, it won't directly, 
quantitatively follow the S-Meter.  That too is normal.


I bought my P3 as a toy never guessing that it would end up being what I 
look at while operating.

I'm configuring my new P3, and have one big question: is there a way to make
"global changes".



To expand:

. I set up 20 meters to show S units (LvL Mode=S Units); a Ref Lvl
from S0 to S9; Average = 5; Span = 20 khz, and apply that all to FN1

. I then set up 20 meters to show S units (LvL Mode=S Units); a Ref
Lvl from S0 to S9; Average = 5; Span = 100 khz, and apply that all to FN2



That all works perfectly, and toggles between FN1 and FN2 is great.



But, when I go to any other band:

. FN1 and FN2 toggle correctly between 20 khz and 100 khz, the
screen still displays S units; and the Average remains at 5.

. But, on all bands except 20, where I configured the P3 , Ref Lvl
is way off, with S5 displayed at the bottom with +30 at the top of the
screen.



Desired State: What I would like is for the P3 display to appear the same on
all bands. So, is there a way to apply configuration changes globally to all
bands, or do I have to manually set Ref Lvl on each band?



Thanks

[Elecraft] K3 memory manager

[Richard Katsch]

Hi and Merry Xmas to all.

I have a problem with the K3 memory manager.
. Software connects with no problem with my K3. This is an old model SN00xx.
. Other operations such as upgrades etc have always worked properly.
. Have the latest versions of firmware on the radio and memory manager on
the computer.
. Memory manager will download from and upload all details to the radio.
. Hand data entry into the spreadsheet boxes works fine.
. 'Cut' works fine on the memory manager spreadsheet.
. Data from 'cut' can be pasted into other apps (notepad) with no problems.
. Cannot get 'paste' to work in the memory manager. Menu selections, right
click, Ctrl-V do nothing.
. Puzzled!

Regards
Richard

Re: [Elecraft] KIO3B

Same as Windows users. I don't think anything associated with the K3(S) is OS 
sensitive.

[Elecraft] P3 Config Question

[Ferris Jennings]

Hi again -

 

I'm configuring my new P3, and have one big question: is there a way to make
"global changes".

 

To expand:

. I set up 20 meters to show S units (LvL Mode=S Units); a Ref Lvl
from S0 to S9; Average = 5; Span = 20 khz, and apply that all to FN1

. I then set up 20 meters to show S units (LvL Mode=S Units); a Ref
Lvl from S0 to S9; Average = 5; Span = 100 khz, and apply that all to FN2

 

That all works perfectly, and toggles between FN1 and FN2 is great.

 

But, when I go to any other band: 

. FN1 and FN2 toggle correctly between 20 khz and 100 khz, the
screen still displays S units; and the Average remains at 5.

. But, on all bands except 20, where I configured the P3 , Ref Lvl
is way off, with S5 displayed at the bottom with +30 at the top of the
screen.

 

Desired State: What I would like is for the P3 display to appear the same on
all bands. So, is there a way to apply configuration changes globally to all
bands, or do I have to manually set Ref Lvl on each band?

 

Thanks

-Ferris NB6T-

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Config Question

[Don Wilhelm]

Ferris,

Many settings are per band - because what works fine on one band does 
not work well for all bands.  There are other settings that are global.
I believe those settings you have cited are per band.  Set them for the 
optimum on each band.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3 memory manager

Hi and Merry Xmas to all.

I have a problem with the K3 memory manager.
. Software connects with no problem with my K3. This is an old model SN00xx.
. Other operations such as upgrades etc have always worked properly.
. Have the latest versions of firmware on the radio and memory manager on
the computer.
. Memory manager will download from and upload all details to the radio.
. Hand data entry into the spreadsheet boxes works fine.
. 'Cut' works fine on the memory manager spreadsheet.
. Data from 'cut' can be pasted into other apps (notepad) with no problems.
. Cannot get 'paste' to work in the memory manager. Menu selections, right
click, Ctrl-V do nothing.
. Puzzled!

Regards
Richard

Make sure you have a recent P3 firmware version (1.50 or later).

Yes, just use the P3's DISPLAY button to toggle the waterfall on/off on the

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 RESET??

[Jack Brindle]

Bother? Look at it this way, you are doing me a favor. We are in the 
just-after-Christmas time when I have the following choices:
1) Eat more left-over ham.
2) Go to the mall.
3) Watch yet another rerun of NCIS (I love NCIS, but…).
4) Help folks have fun with their new toys.

One guess what my preference is.

If you need anything with regards to the KPA500, just ask.

Jack, W6FB

[Elecraft] K312MDKT Upgrade Kit Available

[Ken Widelitz]

I have two K312MDKT upgrade kits that came with the PVGA upgrade. When my
K3s were at Elecraft, I had the upgrade done by the factory so I don't need
these. They are available for the cost of a stamp. I do not have the
installation instructions but they are available online.

 

73, Ken, K6LA / VY2TT

Yes, just use the P3's DISPLAY button to toggle the waterfall on/off on 
the main display.
