The Elecraft site has an invalid certificate, so others having issues 
are probably related to that.

[Elecraft] KAT100 IN EC2 ENCLOSURE

2016-01-01 Thread Jerry Ford
 Good evening all:
I'm looking for some advise.   My KAT100 / KPA100  are in an EC2 enclosure next 
to my K2.
I was changing bands this evening and neglected to changeantenna's when moving 
from 80 to 40 meters.
I hit the   " TUNE "   on the K2  and my KAT100  triedto tune.  It ran through 
the scale a couple of times beforeI could shut it off.
Now when I hit the "TUNE"  button,  the radio goes intotransmit,  but the tuner 
isn't tuning anything.   Normal operation the tuner would tune and go back to 
receive.
It doesn't change back to receive unless I hit the tunebutton again.  SO,   the 
tuner quit.
I remember reading about a transistor that fails and causes this issue but I 
don't remember which one it is.
SO,   looking for some information.   
Any idea's what I'm looking for ???
Thanks:  73    Jerry N0JRN

Re: [Elecraft] KIO3B Audio Spec

2016-01-01 Thread Dan AE9K
After staring at Knut's KIO3B spectrum with an XG3 signal source, I am
wondering how much of that spectrum can be attributed to the KIO3B and how
much is due to the K3S RF chain and XG3 phase noise and harmonics.

I tried a different approach with my K3 and DigiKeyer keeping everything at
AF and avoiding the RF and XG3 related variables - I think.

I sent the K3 a 1 kHz test tone to LINE IN while the K3 was keyed in TX TEST
mode.  At the same time an instance of Spectrum Lab analyzed the return
audio (i.e. the monitor audio returned over LINE OUT).

The resulting spectrum lacks the significant harmonics Knut observed
although I show some AC spectra (fundamental + 3rd, 5th and 7th harmonics)
which might be attributable to my DigiKeyer sitting directly above the
KPA500's transformer.

 

Is analaysis of recovered transmit audio while in TX TEST a viable way to
eliminate the RF and XG3 related variables or have I missed something?  If
it is viable, I would be interested in the same being done with a KIO3B for
comparison purposes.

73,

Dan
AE9K

Re: [Elecraft] Remote Ham Radio - SO2R Options?

2016-01-01 Thread Rick Tavan
The only "contest" I know of that allows this is pseudo-contest CWT on
Wednesdays. I'm set up to do it with a local KX3 and a remote K3-K3 hookup
via Microbit RemoteRig controllers and a local YCCC SO2R box. I've tested
it in non-contest environments and it works even better than real SO2R in
one respect - there's absolutely no inter-station interference. I intend to
try it out in a CWT Real Soon Now. But in a real contest, alas, it's
against the rules.

I wish CQ hadn't dropped their experimental category - I think it was in
CQWW - that allowed anything legal under the laws of the land(s).

Security certificates should cost $150 or more because they should be 
identity documents, properly vetted by a trusted third party.


There are at least two CAs that will issue domain-vetted certificates 
for free, and at least two under $20.

[Elecraft] QLF?

2016-01-01 Thread Dauer, Edward
I just learned there will be a QLF contest at Frostfest in Richmond in 
February.  (Our son and his family live there, so the trip wouldn’t be entirely 
fanciful.)  If I enter the contest I’ll want to train for it seriously.  Having 
never done QLF before, I am open to advice.  First, the equipment – do the 
contestants each bring their own “key” or is there some contraption everyone 
has to use, to equalize the challenge?  How about a KXPD3, for the low power 
single toe division?  What’s the duration of the transmission?  What 
characteristics will the judges be most attentive to – would a snazzy sock 
design give an unfair advantage?

And yes, Elecraft reportedly will have a table there too.

Ted, KN1CBR

Re: [Elecraft] KIO3B Audio Spec

2016-01-01 Thread Dan AE9K
Sorry, I didn't word my reply correctly.  I didn't mean to suggest the KIO3B
was responsible for the spikes of spectra.  I realize those are the XG3
fundamental and harmonics. The XG3 phase noise just makes it impossible to
see the audio noise floor of the KIO3B.  My intention was just to advance
your "darned good" comment to something measurable for comparison purposes. 
But, for all I know my pursuit of measuring USB audio spectrum quality may
be moot if we're always RF noise-limited. 

Stepping back a bit, my original intent was to determine whether the KIO3B
was a suitable drop-in replacement for my DigiKeyer (to eliminate a box and
associated connections to the K3).  Part of that is audio-related the other
part is interfacing-related (KEY, PTT, etc.).  Someone pointed out off-forum
that there is no FSK interface with the KIO3B so that is one disparity with
the interfacing aspect.

As for the audio aspect, I'm sure Joe's right in that they're essentially
the same unless there was an implementation short-cut taken with the KIO3B -
which isn't likely.  That said, I am still curious if the proposed test
setup of passing audio in and analyzing the monitor audio is a valid means
of measuring the performance of the USB audio path - whether with the KIO3B
or other USB audio interface.  Can I, for example, conclude from my test
that my DigiKeyer/K3 path has a -110 dB noise floor?

73,

Dan
AE9K

[Elecraft] why is my P3 VFO B cursor stuck?

2016-01-01 Thread Jeff Stai
This is a K3S, with sub RX, and a P3. The VFO B cursor is stuck at 14046.80.

Everything else is working. VFO A cursor behaves as it should so the P3 and
K3S must be talking. I can tune signals on the sub RX just fine, but the P3
VFO B cursor does not track with the tuning.

The contest logger I am running (writelog) is correctly reading the sub RX
frequency from the K3S.

Am I missing something? Thanks & 73 jeff wk6i

Re: [Elecraft] KIO3B Audio Spec

There is little doubt that most of the noise/blips in that spectrogram is
not related to the KIO3B, but rather the K3 RF chain and possibly the KX3
phase noise. I was just trying to show that the audio produced by the USB
codec is darned good from an HF radio (and in  my case demonstrably better
than what I got from the line out on my old K3). I have never tried to see
what the port can do with the transmit audio.

Fred's manuals are a big help, so I recommend them.  I ordered the print 
version, but I may wish I had opted for the PDF version.  Having them on 
your computer, or a thumb drive, can be pretty convenient.


Happy New Year all!

[Elecraft] FS: K3 Encoders-All New

2016-01-01 Thread David and Dianne on Comcast

Happy New Year Elecrafters,

This past October almost eight great years with my 
K3, I decided to part ways with it. I also decided 
not to buy a K3s.


Prior to this decision I had acquired some new K3 
parts intending to replace the originals.


So my K3 is gone and these parts are now extra to 
my needs. Here's what I am offering for sale:


-2 main and sub VFO encoders - Elecraft part # 
E850239 - original price of $25 each
-4 push button encoders located to the left of the 
Main VFO knob (newer design with less wobble) - 
Elecraft part # E640018 - original price of $3 each
-1 RIT/XIT encoder - Elecraft part # E640021 - 
original price of $10
-5 felt washers for controlling drag on main VFO 
knob - Elecraft part # E733 - original price 
of $7.50


The total new cost to me was approx. $80.

I'm selling the lot for $59 shipped via USPS 
priority mail.


I will not break up this set of parts for 
individual sale.


Please contact me off list at n...@arrl.net with 
your interest or questions.


Bst 73 de N1LQ-Dave

Re: [Elecraft] 30% discount on KE7X books at Lulu 12/31 only

2016-01-01 Thread Joe Lynch
I opted for the pdf versions. No discount but much more convenient. Thanks Fred.

 It took a little doing, but I got the discount.  First, I didn't see it on 
the website.  I guess it was a big secret!  Fred had omitted posting the 
discount code at first, but I found it in a subsequent post--thank 
goodness  Then  I tried entering it on my order, but it didn't seem to 
work!  Finally I figured out that "NEWYEAR30" had to be in all caps 
Personally, I think making things like this case sensitive is totally 
unnecessary!  Then, if you don't want to waste a few extra bucks (unless you 
are in a big hurry), you needed to change the automatic mailing method 
before hitting the "purchase" button!  It saves another $5.  If I get it in 
a week or so that is soon enough.

[Elecraft] FW: Remote Ham Radio - SO2R Options?

2016-01-01 Thread Dick Dievendorff

If you intend this for use in contests, At least several contest rules
require that all antennas and radios be within a limited distance of one
another (often a 500 meter circle). 

See http://cqww.com/rules.htm,

VIII. DEFINITIONS OF TERMS, 1.  Station Location.

And http://www.arrl.org/general-rules-for-all-arrl-contests

General rule 3.7, all transmitters and receivers must be within a 500-meter
diameter circle

Subject: [Elecraft] Remote Ham Radio - SO2R Options?

I am interested in putting together the most effective equivalent of
Single-Operator Two-Radio with my regular Elecraft K3S operating 10-40
meters and a second "radio" operating Remote Ham Radio for 80/160.  I was
wondering if anyoone on this list has accomplished this already and have
specific experience to share.

I assume this would require either a software-only computer-based RHR, or
something like an Elecraft K3/0, plus the SO2R "splitter" to get in-front of
the radios.  But, it seems to get complicated pretty quickly.

Thoughts from those experienced with this?

Re: [Elecraft] KIO3B Audio Spec

2016-01-01 Thread Ray Sills
I’m not so sure about that.  The various devices are only connected to one 
other object.  Think of this picture:

A is connect to B, and B is connected to C.  So, you want to bond A to B.. and 
don’t care about the connection to C, since it needs only be connected to B and 
not C.  And the same for B to C.   The “star” approach means that the 
connection from A goes to a common point, and then from the common point to B, 
creating two additional connection points, for a total of 4, whereas, the A to 
B connection is just 2 points.

The “star” is fine for safety, but does nothing to assist with the common mode 
between devices A and B or B and C.  And, we are talking about audio, not 
safety commons.

[Elecraft] KIO3B Install

2016-01-01 Thread Robert Nobis
I received the KIO3B upgrade kit for my K3 yesterday. Installation and setup 
was straightforward.

This was nearly a “plug-and-play” setup. I was up and running WSJT-X (v1.6) on 
OS-X (Mac) after minor adjustments to the audio levels, and had my first JT65 
QSO within 35 minutes of starting the installation.

Decode performance appears to be just as good, if not better than my external 
TASCAM US-366.  I will have to run this for a few days to see how well it 
decodes low level signals (-23 to -25dB) on JT65.

Also the sure helped to reduce my rat’s nest of cables.

Happy New Year.

73,

[Elecraft] Options for K3 wanted

2016-01-01 Thread Doug Shields
Hello,

I recently was able to pick up a K3 to replace one sold several years
ago.  I regretted selling my original K3 for a long time.  My present K3 has
the 100 watt amp, auto antenna tuner, and the KXV3A.  I would like to add
some options to the radio.  If you have a K3 option that is not being used,
let me know what you have and your price.  I will consider almost any
options that are working and reasonably priced.  Thanks and hope everyone is
having a Happy New Year.

 

Doug  W4DAS
