[Elecraft] Need +12v or +5v on TX

[Robert Bajuk]

Hi,

I am adding kind of RF limiter/protector to my my K3 signal path at the
ANT1 input  and need to switch a small relay between TX/RX line. I would
like to keep protector circuit in small box inside the radio.
Where would be the easiest point to "steal" '+12v or +5v on TX only
(irrespective of the power settings, with or without KPA3). I know I could
use signal from Key out jack (active low) but I would rather find a point
inside the radio to switch relay with positive voltage and keep Key out
free.

Re: [Elecraft] Bonito RadioCom 6

[Don Wilhelm]

Hi all,

Fldigi remains as one of the premiere data mode applications.  It is 
multi-platform and works well.  It does not have all the 'pizazz" of 
other applications, but it works quite well and is free to use.


Configuration via Hamlib or Rigcat is not difficult - read the instructions.

Another application that will give you several other rig control 
functions is Win4K3.  It does cost money for extended use, but you can 
try it for 30 days.


Of course Ham Radio Deluxe will offer other capabilities, and I believe 
the free downlaod of version 5 is still available.


There are others - DXLabs has a whole suite of applications and DX 
commander as well as other applications can do a variety of things for 
you.  The DXLabs suite is freeware.

A few years ago I bought and tried a Bonito program. At that time the
decoding of nearly every mode was so error-filled as to be useless. I spent
some time comparing it to other digital programs available at the time,
especially that vintage of MixW. Finally I gave up.

Hopefully, things have changed. Commercial-quality software is not as easy
to develop as many enterpreneurially-minded programmers think it is. Bonito
needed to have a lot of turnover in its senior development team. And to be
fair, perhaps it has. Some of the other ham software providers have
upgraded their capabilities with new and more skilled developers, and maybe
the same is true of Bonito. But they left a bad impression with me.

I too had excellent support from Elecraft, receiving a replacement
KAT3-A in two days. Kudos to Elecraft!

Semi-related question: Does anyone know if it is possible to create a
First Class parcel label on the USPS website? I have an account, and
create Priority Mail labels all the time, but haven't found an option to
go with First Class Parcel instead.

Elecraft shipped me the ATU via First Class, and I wanted to return the
defective one the same way, with a tracking number. I had to drive to
the post office to do this, and the clerk there had no clue about
creating First Class Parcel labels online.

Thanks for any information on this.

Elecraft does sell a DB-9 to 3.5mm cable to work between a serial port 
and the KX3.
it is the  KXSERa (3.5mm to DB9-F): Extra Cable 3.5mm to RS232 DB9-F for

The DB9 connector is female, but if necessary you can add a gender changer.

Re: [Elecraft] Bonito RadioCom 6

[W B McCarty]

Thanks for all the information!

To my surprise, Bonito answered with lightning speed. Per Bonito, the
specific Kenwood model to use with the K3 is the TS2000. I had tried the
TS570 and TS870 without success before posting here. (But I was actually
using a KX3, not a K3, as explained below; presumably a K3 would have
worked, as stated to me by Bonito.)

As I wrote the KX3 is not listed as officially supported. My hope was that
the KX3 might be similar enough to the K3 that if the K3 worked the KX3
would also work. My thinking was that since the Kenwood driver works with
the K3 then the driver can't be all that particular. However, specifying
TS2000 as the radio did not work in the context of a USB connection between
the KX3 and PC and nothing other than the PC attached to the Bonito dongle,
which is a recommended configuration.

There remains the possibility of making a serial connection between the KX3
and the Bonito dongle, which might do the trick. Doing so would require a
custom cable with a DB-9 on one side and connections to the KX3's ACC1,
ACC2, and phone out jacks on the other. Details are given in the entry
pertaining to the K3 in the table at
http://www.bonito.net/service/make_radio_list.php3?language=en&R1=LB#HAM
.

I did specifically request that Bonito support the KX3. Bonito has not
responded to my request; I don't anticipate that they will do so.

Before closing I should share my opinion that RadioCom is one of the
hardest programs to configure and among the least reliable contemporary PC
programs I've used. I put up with it because it needs to be configured from
scratch only once and because when it does work I find it useful and
convenient. I wouldn't want anyone to purchase the program based on my
mention without first reading some of the many reviews available, including
those on eHam.net , where at the
time of this writing the program had received an overall score of 1.4/5
[sic].

Re: [Elecraft] [K2] No RCV audio...

[Don Wilhelm]

Eric,

Your problem seems to be with 40 meters alone.

Do you have the K60XV option (or the Rework Eliminators) installed?  If 
so, go to the secondary menu and check to see that the D19 menu 
parameter is set to "y".

Without that option (or the Rework Eliminators), D19 should be "n".
I suspect the Rework Eliminators are installed since your list of bands 
did not include 60 meters.


If you did not build this K2, you might not know the answer.  Look at 
the VFO area (near relays K13, K14 and K15) to see if D19 and D20 are 
installed - on K2s below SN3000 those varactors are mounted on the 
bottom of the board, remove the bottom cover to see them.
If D19 and D20 are installed, do a 2nd check and find the value of C71 - 
it should be 120pF, and the D19 menu parameter must be set to "y".  
Without D19 and D20, the D19 menu must be set to "n".


I surmise you have D19 and D20 installed and you did a Master Reset 
which leaves the D19 menu set to "n".  If you did that reset, you will 
have to do not only a CAL PLL, but also a CAL FIL and set any menu items 
which pertain to installed options to the parameters which support those 
options.

I happened to read an older post about this subject, and went down

1.  Voltage Controlled Oscillator Readings.

80m  2.243V to 5.85 V over range of 3.5 to 4.0
40m  8.04V to 8.04V over range of 7.0 to 7.3
30m  2.505 to 2.973V over range of 10 to 10.15
20m  2.363 to 3.95V over range of 14 to 15
17m  3.113 to 3.310 over range of 18 to 18.2
15m  2.001 to 2.995 over range of 21 to 21.45
12m  3.90 to 4.26 over range of 24.8 to 25
10m  3.282 to 4.12 over range of 28 to 28.8

With the band switch set to 40m (7.000) TP1 reads 11348 Khz, rather 
than 11915, as discussed previously. TP3 reads 12094.35, and the range 
test passes (14.4 kHz).


I guess it's not right that the VCO on 40m doesn't appear to change.  
Is that so?  Am I heading in the right direction? Any pointers would 
be appreciated.


Thanks
Eric

15m  2.001 to 2.995 over range of 21 to 21.45
12m  3.90 to 4.26 over range of 24.8 to 25
10m  3.282 to 4.12 over range of 28 to 28.8

With the band switch set to 40m (7.000) TP1 reads 11348 Khz, rather than
11915, as discussed previously. TP3 reads 12094.35, and the range test
passes (14.4 kHz).

I guess it's not right that the VCO on 40m doesn't appear to change.  Is
that so?  Am I heading in the right direction?  Any pointers would be
appreciated.

Thanks
Eric

[Elecraft] K2 Internal Mic Adapter kit wanted

[myf...@nc.rr.com]

Hi folks,

I was trying to find an IMA kit that UNPCBS had made and sold.  They sold out 
of all that they made.  Hopefully, somebody on here might have one that they 
will sell.

Also, if there is enough interest, UNPCBS will make another production run of 
the IMAs.

Re: [Elecraft] Bonito RadioCom 6

[tomb18]

HiThe Kenwood protocol is the same as the Elecraft protocol for commands such 
as frequency,  band etc. I would try using one of the Kenwood radios for the K3 
and kx3. There's lots of equipment out there that will work if you do this and 
the software doesn't try to identify the radio.Tomva2fsq.com

[Elecraft] scammer on internet

[dlrwild1]

There is a scammer on the ham internet sites posing as KD8VLL and another call. 
He uses a Gmail account. He claims to be elderly, in a wheelchair and hard of 
hearing. Request payment only via USPS money order. He does not give you a 
phone number either.  Be careful when buying or selling things on Eham.net, 
QTH.com or QRZ.com. I think the Elecraft Reflector is more secure and lesser 
known to these scammers. He claims to be located in Parksburg, WVA.

Re: [Elecraft] K3,P3,SPE 1.3kw amp and MicroHAM interface III

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Use the parallel interface ("Yaesu") instead of serial.  That will
avoid the conflict between serial data at 38,400 bps for K3/P3 and
computer/logger and the fixed 9600 bps of the Expert.

Use an Elecraft "all 15" DB15HD Y connector (E980190) and the
connections in the bottom half of the attached document (sent
directly) from the original SPE Distributor in the USA.

The Elecraft K3 is reported to be supported by RadioCom 6 in several places
