Re: [Elecraft] KX2 eHam Review

[Richard Fjeld]

Have you considered using either 18650 or 14500 lithium ion batteries?  
They are rated at 3.7 volts, but I find when charged, they are typically 
about 4.2 volts.
Three of them will be a bit over 12 volts.  I have 18650 cells that are 
9800 mAh each.  There is another cell that is shorter, but I can't 
remember it's nomenclature.

[Elecraft] PL-259 connectors

[Todd Ruby]

Friends,
The only PL-259 connectors any amateur should ever use are the ones from  
Amphenol stamped 83-1SP. 

If you don't believe me, you can easily discuss this issue with Frank, W3LPL. 
If you are at Dayton, he'll be covering various topics during Contest 
University or gabbing with contesters and DXers at the Crowne Plaza. He is a 
very good person to know if you don't know him already.

Re: [Elecraft] New KX2

[Joe Moffatt]

I agree with you... I use my KX3 mobile, but it is a bit of a clumsy thing 
(though I use it with only 15 watts, it works wonders).

I will add the 100 watt amp at some point.  I don't need the 2 bands, so I 
would be VERY interested in this rig.

[Elecraft] Another KX2 video

[GRANT YOUNGMAN]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CyCoqBhlCQ 


Looks like a really great and easy to pack QRP radio!!

Since it wasn’t that long ago I sprung for the KX3/PX3, I’m not sure this is 
going to be tomorrow’s purchase, but the Fortune Teller automaton seems to 
think there may be one in the not too terribly distant future after the 
relocation dust settles.

[Elecraft] K3 RFI on 21.400

[Mike Wetzel]

I live about 1 mile from a strong FM broadcast station tower that transmits
on 97.1Mhz.  I have talked to the station engineer and they are in process
of running some tests and of course don't think it is their problem.  The
RFI shows up from about 21.380 to 21.430 (an FM signal) with an antenna and
with no antenna connected to the radio.  In fact the RFI is present to a
lower level with no connections to a K3 and only battery powered.  It is
almost eliminated with snap on cores on the battery power cord  but seems to
come in also when other connections are made to the radio (is stronger
also).  It happens on 3 different K3s. It is also present more or less on
these frequencies 6.83, 9.56, 12.85, 21.422, 24.285 and sometimes loudest on
26.890.   It is also strong at the transmitter site.

 

The RFI is not present on Icom radios.  

 

Does anyone else live near a station tower that transmits on 97.1 that does
or does not experience this.  

 

Thanks,

 

Mike W9RE

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 eHam Review

[David Orman]

Completely agree, I'd love the upgraded battery option if it's possible
within the constraints of the KX3 HW. There also looked to be some software
functionality like RTC adjustment and amp-hour display that would be cool
to have in the KX3, as well.

Re: [Elecraft] KX2?

[Fred Jensen]

I [and my employer] beta tested various items over the years.  Often the 
item was unbranded, no model or serial number, if electronic, it had the 
FCC and CE label.  They trusted us [and me] to beat it up, do everything 
we could to crash the software, and I've never found a technology I 
couldn't break ... and they trusted us to do so privately and not talk 
about it.  It's part of the engineering process.


The majority of Elecraft customers can't stand not knowing what's next 
-- refer to the email list if you doubt -- but after beta, the engineers 
will address the problems found, and the production release may not 
match the beta product.  If the beta test period is public, that will 
release a new onslaught of questions about "what happened to ..." or 
"the one I saw did ...".


The excitement is cool, and I enjoy it as much as anyone.  But Elecraft 
has progressed from a very small startup to a large company with many 
employees, large design and test staffs, and a very large production and 
distribution operation.  They're behaving that way.


My KX1 may find it's way to market, age and old injuries are taking a 
toll on mobility, especially on non-paved surfaces.  I love my K2, the 
KX2 looks really cool, but maybe not for me at this point in life.  If 
you want it, it looks like a great radio for a really great price, and 
it comes with great customer service.  But no heads should be rolling, 
they did their job, admirably.


Congratulations on a great new product Elecraft!

Re: [Elecraft] Travel Case for K3/s KX3

I was lucky to get one of these messenger bags when they were available. 
Absolutely perfect for the KX3 with accessories. The thing it is almost 
identical apart from logo to the National Geographic messenger bag, but a 
quarter of the price as it doesn't have the branding.

https://www.7dayshop.com/products/7dayshop-canvas-photographers-messenger-shoulder-bag-removable-interior-and-rain-cover-included-DS-014

I recommended one to a ham in France and he was also delighted with it and was

I have a problem and not sure if it is N1MM related or K3S related.  When

30% of the time the mode fails to change.  The band always changes correctly,

[Elecraft] K3S mode/bands switching using N1MM

[aa4r]

I have a problem and not sure if it is N1MM related or K3S related.  When 
hitting the band/mode panel in N1MM to go from SSB to CW or vice versa, about 
30% of the time the mode fails to change.  The band always changes correctly, 
but can’t depend on the mode changing.  It is not a consistent problem and 
failures occur after several changes working correctly.  Anyone experiencing 
the same problem?  Any advice?

Thanks,

Bill, AA4R

Re: [Elecraft] [K2] External amplifier keying circuit question

[Steve Kavanagh via Elecraft]

Initial testing using the two-MOSFET circuit 
(http://www.mmccs.com/mmarc/n0ss/k2_t-r_rly_drvr.pdf ) with two 2N7000s, but 
with R3 removed, indicates that it is working fine, switching a load of about 
50 mA at 12-13V.  I left R2 in.

Thanks all for your comments.

If Elecraft can make a lithium ion battery for the kx2, Can they make a

Re: [Elecraft] RFI and Direct tv or Dish network

[John K9UWA]

Jim is 100% correct. The Direct TV receivers are HORRIBLE for noise 
generation. Maybe you can't hear it if your Ham Antenna is far enough away 
but it is there for sure. I bought a Sony model ICF-2001 to use looking for 
various noises about the house. You don't want the later models as they 
have auto noise blankers in them. The radio covers AM/SW/FM and does 
AM or SSB. 

Jim is exactly correct regarding the Wall Wart type switcher supply on these 
Direct TV receivers. They are 12.6 vdc so easy for us Hams to pick up a 
nice small linear transformer powered regulated supply. I also hooked up 
the Modem and Router to this same linear supply. Yes every one of them 
made noise. 

Next the HDMI cable from the Direct TV receiver to the TV set also mades 
lots of racket. I use TWO of the FT-240 mix 31 cores and managed to get 
about 5 turns through both chokes. That killed the HDMI cable noise.

Re: [Elecraft] RFI and Direct tv or Dish network

I have no RFI with Dish.  Try using a balanced antenna with a choke and
quality coax.

John KK9A

Warren Merkel
Wed May 18 08:23:30 EDT 2016

I have a DirecTV system and haven't had as good luck with RFI as the
others here.   My dish is about 40 feet directly below and near the end
of an OCF 80m Windom.   It worked out that was the only realistic
position that afforded full Sat views through the trees.

Usually nothing happens at 100w HF output, but when I run the power up
to 500w (depending on band), two of my DVRs either "turn off" (standby
really) or start randomly recording whatever channel is being tuned at
the time.  I've got the dish grounded and the RG6 feed is passed
multiple passes through large #31 ferrites, with no overall improvement
in RFI.

I would recommend much more separation of antennas and feedline than I
have, if possible.

Your antenna, an off-center-fed Windom, is notorious for generating 
common mode current on the feedline, and there's no way to choke it 
effectively to kill that current. So what you're calling a feedline 
Mother Nature calls part of the antenna. THAT'S a primary cause of your 
problem.


If you're having issues on 80M, you'll need at least 13 turns of the RG6 
through a single #31 toroid to make a dent in the common mode current.


Grounding the dish is important for lightning safety, but it is NOT part 
of a solution for RFI. The earth is not a "sump" into which RF is poured.

Re: [Elecraft] RFI and Direct tv or Dish network

[Ramon Tristani]

I used to have “fiber to the home” while living in Bloomington, Indiana. The 
provider is Smithville Fiber and in general, their TV, Internet, Telephone 
bundle is excellent and price wise, very competitive. Having said that, their 
interface equipment (external fiberoptic to ethernet inside the home) is of 
such a poor quality that even while tuning the radio with less than 5 watts, 
the internet would freeze and cease to work. I tried to use multiple RF chokes 
on the coax from the antenna, the internal ethernet distribution inside the 
house, even shielding the outside interface box the best I could,  but nothing 
worked. Other hams in the Bloomington area have the same experience and all of 
us traced it to the poor components and lack of shielding (contrary to FCC 
requirements) that they use in the provider’s installation. Obviously they 
never considered that ham radio operator exist and are protected under the FCC 
Rules. So we went as a group and met with their management. They promised to 
take action. I don’t know if they every did. Since then, I moved to North 
Carolina and am now using Time Warner Cable. I have a Hex Beam in my backyard 
using 100 watts. I also have a doublet fed with window line and a balun inside 
my attic, same power. No problems to report up to this date. 

So, it is quite possible that the providers are using the least expensive 
equipment for cable, TV, and internet distribution. In my case back in 
Bloomington, Smithville had to change the cable box three times because of 
defects in materials and workmanship. I know that companies have to make money 
to subsist, but buying the lowest bidder sometimes brings its own problems. If 
in doubt, check NASA’s experience!

Some OCF dipoles work very well when used with a 2-choke balun, see DJ0IP for 
suitable designs.  Spiderbeam make proper 2-choke baluns for their OCF dipoles 
but I don't know of any others.   It's all about suppressing those common mode 
currents on the outside of the coax.  He and I have both measured common mode 
currents with different chokes; see his site for details.

Re: [Elecraft] RFI and Direct tv or Dish network

[Warren Merkel]

I have a DirecTV system and haven't had as good luck with RFI as the
others here.   My dish is about 40 feet directly below and near the end
of an OCF 80m Windom.   It worked out that was the only realistic
position that afforded full Sat views through the trees. 

Usually nothing happens at 100w HF output, but when I run the power up
to 500w (depending on band), two of my DVRs either "turn off" (standby
really) or start randomly recording whatever channel is being tuned at
the time.  I've got the dish grounded and the RG6 feed is passed
multiple passes through large #31 ferrites, with no overall improvement
in RFI.

I would recommend much more separation of antennas and feedline than I
have, if possible.

Warren, KD4Z
