Re: [Elecraft] Balun BL2

[Vic Rosenthal 4X6GP/K2VCO]

How hot it gets is determined by 1) the SWR and 2) the configuration of 
the antenna/feedline -- how much common mode power it has to dissipate.


I have a DX Engineering balun rated 5 kW continuous and 10 kW 
intermittent which /overheated/ on some bands when running 1 kW -- until 
I added capacitance or inductance on the antenna side of the balun to 
cancel out the reactance and at the same time detune the feedline for 
common mode current. Now it stays cold.

Hello,
I'm contemplating buying the BL2 balun.
It would be connected to 450-ohm transmission-line, which would go to a version of W1AB's 
"killer-antenna", sized for 20m on a 31' jackite-pole.

A reviewer of the BL2, on eham five years ago, commented about heat and 
signal-loss.
The heat and signal-loss concern me, not at the QRP-level but higher wattage.
I realize it is spec'd at 250 W but how hot does it get?

I've looked for data about insertion-loss for the BL2 and came up short there.
Hopefully someone has measured the insertion-loss and could share that data.

The "elecraft BL2 assembly and operating manual" has the cores as ferrite 
material.
But ferrites exhibit non-linear properties, so the loss may be a function, not 
only of frequency, but also drive-level.
Insertion-loss shows up as heat and that heat affects the properties of the 
ferrite.

As I wrote above, I'm not concerned about QRP operation.
If I put it into operation on FD and but take my KX3 home for the day, what 
happens if a club-member connects his 100+ W rig to the antenna-system to 
operate thru the night?
TIA for any reply.

You might look at the “QRP” baluns from Balun Designs. They are designed for 
250 W and cost about $50. Excellent design and construction.

... Thanks to Elecraft for publishing the updated programmer's reference,
Wizkers:Radio 0.2.0 with KX2 support is now available:


http://forum.wizkers.io/t/wizkers-radio-0-2-0-with-kx2-support-released/87

   KX2 owners, please test and report, I did this without access to an
actual unit. On the upside, this is probably the very first rig controller
on the market with KX2 support :)

Re: [Elecraft] Headset

[Gary K9GS]

I second that John.  I bought one 2+ years ago.  It arrived days before 
CQWW CW.  I wore them all weekend and never a complaint. One of the 
really cool things is that they come with a parts list.  If you ever 
have to repair them they sell replacement parts.


I've never looked back.

All - Just my 2 cents worth as an almost 100% CW guy.  I have been using the
Radiosport Headsets from Arlan Communications for a while.

I have their model RS20S with the gel earpads and cloth covers for my K2
(serial #455) as it is my QRP contesting rig and these phones are SUPERB!
Has great isolation so I don't hear anything but what is coming thru the
phones (which would be good for field day). The gel pads and cloth covers
make them very comfortable for long sessions while contesting.
Additionally, they are stereo so they would work perfectly with a K3/K3s
where you could put one receiver's output in each ear for chasing DX when
running split.

I also have their model RS20CR, which is monaural and 600 ohms. This is for
use with my vintage gear (Drake C-Line, R-4A and 2-B and Collins 75A-1).
Also a outstanding performer, particularly when listening to the SW
broadcast.

I have not used their headset with microphone combination but if it works as
well as these listen-only units it should be just terrific!

[Elecraft] Balun BL2

[Tony Marr]

Hi Jerry,

 

I've used the BL2 extensively, especially on my trips to E51. I've fed all
sorts of SWR-unknown antennas with it, running the pile-ups with my K3 at
100w.

 

On some antennas, it does get quite warm, but I keep it absolutely cool by
running a small 12V computer muffin fan alongside it, and the circulating
air stops it heating at all.

 

It's survived thousands of QSOs like this, and I also use it QRP here back
home in ZL, and have no problems with any apparent insertion loss. I don't
have any accurate way of measuring loss, but, personally, I don't see the
need to bother. I think it's a great little kit.

 

73,

 

Tony, ZL2AGY/E51AGY.

[Elecraft] Balun BL2

[jsodus]

Hello, 
I'm contemplating buying the BL2 balun. 
It would be connected to 450-ohm transmission-line, which would go to a version 
of W1AB's "killer-antenna", sized for 20m on a 31' jackite-pole. 

A reviewer of the BL2, on eham five years ago, commented about heat and 
signal-loss. 
The heat and signal-loss concern me, not at the QRP-level but higher wattage. 
I realize it is spec'd at 250 W but how hot does it get?

Hopefully someone has measured the insertion-loss and could share that data. 

The "elecraft BL2 assembly and operating manual" has the cores as ferrite 
material. 
But ferrites exhibit non-linear properties, so the loss may be a function, not 
only of frequency, but also drive-level. 
Insertion-loss shows up as heat and that heat affects the properties of the 
ferrite. 

As I wrote above, I'm not concerned about QRP operation. 
If I put it into operation on FD and but take my KX3 home for the day, what

Why are you using SignaLink, and not the built-in USB sound card in the

I use FLDigi with the K3s sound card, and it works perfectly. The only 
thing I need to do is remember to hold the VOX button to turn on VOX, so 
the xmit audio keys the transmitter. My MENU: VOX GN is set to 10.


Tap MODE to select DATA. For PSK-31 (vs. RTTY), be sure to hold DATA MD 
and select DATA-A, not AFSK-A, with the VFO B knob.


Adjust the MIC knob for LINE 5 input level.

I don't recall setting any audio level for the USB sound card, but that 
can be set in FLDigi (I think).


Hope this helps.

One reason I invest in Elecraft rigs, and have from the beginning, is

the updates and run the utility.


I can see that ... however there's always more than one chapter to the

often, both in the field, out in the park, on the patio, and on this 
desk with what passes for an antenna at home.  One of the reasons is -- 
it never changes.  Everything I've learned to do with it always works, 
the same way, every time.


I stopped FW semi-automatic downloads to my K3 [#642, also becoming 
little toothy] "just because it was available," quite awhile ago without 
first looking at the release notes.  Updates that affected my 
configuration ... fairly vanilla ... have been very few in the last few 
years.  Thus, my K3 behaves exactly as I have learned my K3 should 
behave.  It might even do that with the latest FW, but that's one thing 
I don't need to do.


Kudos on a fine -- yea, irresistible -- new product, and also on the way
Elecraft has evolved with the technology over the past 17 years.


Apparently with Elecraft, you can have it both ways ... Latest/Greatest

Re: [Elecraft] CrankIR?

[Peter Pauly]

I have the AlexLoop and just ordered the CrankIR. The AlexLoop can only do
20 watts because of the small variable capacitor. The CrankIR does 1KW and
has a much wider bandwidth after tuning. You shouldn't need to fiddle with
it after you change bands like you would with the AlexLoop for small QSY's.

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] KX2 in AM mode

[Phil Wheeler]

Wayne,

One reason I invest in Elecraft rigs, and have 
from the beginning, is the way they evolve over 
time. That magnifies the thrill of ownership for 
me. And, unlike the K2 where firmware upgrades 
meant ordering ($$) and disassembly to change out 
a firmware chip, now we simply download the 
updates and run the utility.


Kudos on a fine -- yea, irresistible -- new 
product, and also on the way Elecraft has evolved 
with the technology over the past 17 years.


73, Phil W7OX

QRM, and widen the AF passband out as far as 4 
kHz (equivalent to an 8-kHz AM filter). You can 
turn on the auto-notch to remove 
adjacent-channel carriers.


AM is also on the wich-list as a possible future

Re: [Elecraft] CrankIR?

[Don Butler]

I’ve never owned a Buddipole, but bought one of the first CrankIRs almost 2 ½ 
years …. And I love it.   I have no doubt that both antennas (Buddipole and 
CrankIR) work equally well, but a significant plus that comes with the CrankIR 
is the ease and simplicity of changing bands .. it will typically take me 
less than a minute to retune the CrankIR to another band and get back on the 
air ….. compare that to the Buddipole where you pretty much have to take it 
down, rebuild the elements, and put it back up again virtually EVERY time you 
change bands.

I made this video soon after buying my CrankIR ….. and the SteppIR folks still 
have the link on their website.   Realistically it will take about 20 minutes 
from start to finish to get the CrankIR up and on the air ….

​Lynn,​

​I have owned a CrankIR for almost two years.  When I go traveling by auto
for more than a couple of days, it goes with me along with my K3, plus
KPA500 and whatever else I decide to pack. I previously took a dipole, with
fiberglass poles, since I didn't always ​have access to wire supports.  The
CrankIR is a nice compromise. It packs down to a small bag plus the
optional fiberglass extension for 80M. I now pack it in a small rifle case.

Operationally, it seems to perform well.  I had QSO's with New Zealand a
few weeks back while I was in Arizona. I've checked into the Elecraft SSB
net from time to time.  As Dave C. mentions, the dipole is more
lightweight, rugged and may perform better. I can't compare to the Alex
loop as I've never used one. The CrankIR tunes 10M through 80M, but that is
a manual process. There are markers on the wire and I've gotten pretty good
at tuning it, using my Rig Expert antenna analyzer.  There are trade offs
in whatever you choose though.  I doubt I'll ever go hiking or backpacking
with the CrankIR and K3.  But they travel well in my Avalanche. I'm trying
to find a way to justify the KX3, or now KX2 as my portable secondary
radio.

Re: [Elecraft] Hooking 2 headsets to K3S

[barry whittemore]

Doug,
My wife (NE1F) and I use 2 headsets with our K3 but not directly.
We use a Behringer Mic mixer and Headphone mixer.
This approach works very well for us.
Mary has the inputs set different on the Mixer. We also use the extra inputs 
for the canned outputs 
for voice keying to get into the radio.
We have an AMP800 and A XENIX802.

I did make a small mod (simple voltage divider) to the phantom voltage as its 
designed for the 48 volt pro mics and we use 
PC CM500 headsets.
This has worked well for us for many years.

Enjoy

[Elecraft] P3 Kit Pricing

[Brian D. Comer]

I am sure the extra cost for building and testing any of the Elecraft
products is worth the money if that is the way someone wants to go.  All the
Elecraft products I have,  or have had, were built by my son Andrew KK6EME
that includes 2 K3s, P3, KX3, KPA500, KXPA100 and a K2 /100(sold). The only
problem experienced was a mistake he made in the assembly of, if I remember
correctly, diodes to a heat sink in the KPA500. Elecraft replaced  the
needed parts to fix the problem at no cost.  Andrew is now 15 years old he
built the K2 at age 8. Unfortunately he has lost his interest  ham radio
now, but is still enjoying building another KPA500 for me.

Let me first preface this with I don't own one, nor have I used a
CrankIR.

I have used a Alex Loop for outings, and various portable dipoles
though...  I have always avoided verticals for hiking because I don't
want to spread out a bunch of radials.  It is simpler for me to hang a
portable dipole, or set up the Alex Loop...  If I can hang a dipole I
use that first, then the loop...

Re: [Elecraft] Headset

[Dave Hachadorian]

I forgot to mention that the SB-45 also has a nice padded 
headband.  It doesn't irritate the top of my bald head as much as 
the rough webbing of the CM500.  Judging from the pictures of the 
crowds at Dayton this year,  this could be a very significant 
feature for a lot of hams!

Hi,

If I remember correctly the Koss SB45 headset has been offered as 
a
suitable substitute for the K3 weapon of choice the Yamaha CM500. 
Any

experience out there?

My much used CM500 are starting to shed the leatherette covering 
and the
foam inside the cavities is wearing away. CM500 can be rather 
difficult

to source.

Re: [Elecraft] Headset

[Dave Hachadorian]

I have both the CM500 and SB-45.  The SB-45 is the one I use.  It 
is more comfortable on my head.  I wear eyeglasses, and it 
doesn't squeeze the side rails as hard, and is generally more 
comfortable for me.  Both headsets function equally well, but the 
SB-45 microphone need a couple more dB of boost in equalizer bin 
4.

Subject: [Elecraft] Headset

Hi,

If I remember correctly the Koss SB45 headset has been offered as 
a
suitable substitute for the K3 weapon of choice the Yamaha CM500. 
Any

experience out there?

My much used CM500 are starting to shed the leatherette covering 
and the
foam inside the cavities is wearing away. CM500 can be rather 
difficult

to source.

Regards,

Mike VP8NO

[Elecraft] Headset

[Mike Harris]

Many thanks to all who have offered their findings on the relative 
merits of the CM500 v KOSS SB45.


I will get a set of SB45s for comparison, at the price it's really not 
an issue. Albeit, with the CM500, better the devil you know applies.


Regards,

Mike VP8NO

Re: [Elecraft] Hooking 2 headsets to K3S

[David Anderson via Elecraft]

Another user of the HA400, very useful with the KX3 for setting levels to the 
soundcard and the headphones and the powered stereo speakers.

Re: [Elecraft] Headset

[David Anderson via Elecraft]

Another vote for the KOSS SB45, especially as it is much easier to buy in the 
UK.

I had a CM500 but the mic broke after about a year, so I kept it just as a pair 
of stereo headphones.

Now if we can just get someone to do a new video that's based on that scene in 
"Contact" where Jodie Foster first hears a KX2 on the air! (Ooops, I mean

[Elecraft] KX2 order

[Joe W2KJ]

Howdy Gang:

Just placed my order for a KX2 and accessories and was informed that they are 
now backlogged some 2-3 weeks on orders for these items.

The gentleman that I spoke with said they need to update the web page which 
indicates 5-10 day shipping timeframe.

Hope it gets here before Field Day!!

Re: [Elecraft] Hooking 2 headsets to K3S

[Don Wilhelm]

Doug,

I would plug one in the back and the other in the front.  The headphones 
will work together.  If you have mics on the headsets, just change the 
MIC SEL menu to activate the one you want (or create a macro).

Re: [Elecraft] Hooking 2 headsets to K3S

[Bill Conkling]

I just plug one into the rear jacks, usually also the mic of my CM500.  Then 
plug the phones of a second CM500 into the front phones jack (w/adapter).

For many of our club events we leave the CONFIG/Speaker+phone set to “YES”. so 
that onlookers may listen as well  But using phones for operator and logger 
allows some isolation from chatter of by-standers standing around.

I use the KOSS SB45, it has the same electret element as in the Yamaha. In fact
it is almost identical to the Yamaha, but uses silver ear cups. I understand 
some
of the components used in the Yamaha are made by Koss…perhaps the CM500
is made in the Koss factory, but labeled Yamaha ?

I bought a Behringer Microamp HA400 that I use at Field Day.   No, a stereo Y 
cable did not do the trick.   Having separate audio controls for the two

Same here.  Better physical design than the CM500 except for the boom mic.

Audio performance is the same.

[Elecraft] Elecraft shows it's excellent customer service - again.

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

Hi folks,

I wanted to express how happy I am with the folks at Elecraft.  Recently I 
purchased several kits for my K2, in order to finish filling it up.  I sent my 
radio and all of the parts and kits to a builder, who is working on the radio 
for me.  One of the new kits contained a mess of wrong parts and not the parts 
needed for the kit I ordered.  One call to Elecraft and they are sending a new 
kit directly to my builder.  That's what I call awesome service!  Just another 
reason to love the Elecraft product and the folks that work there.

73,

Steve

Never click on an unknown hyperlink. In this case I copied it and searched
youtube for it manually.

Ron, you had more courage than I did to open a link in a posting that looked
like 100-percent spam...or much worse.  Such a posting with a link so
vaguely and suspiciously described is high school kid stuff.

I looked to see what you were addressing.  The excerpt with faux subtitles
is from the 2004 German film "Der Untergang" ("Downfall" in English), a most
excellently-made historical film.  But it has long been a banal cliche to
use this excerpt with many different allegedly humorous but always
sophomoric subtitles.

So...note to list members...the link in the original posting takes you to an
"angry Hitler" rant from "Der Untergang" that is subtitled to have the KX3
and QRP as its subject.  Ha Ha.

[Elecraft] FS: K1-2

[Bernie Gardner]

I would like to sell a K1-2 (sn 02472) with 20m and 80m bands.  The 
radio includes the internal antenna tuner and backlight.  It also 
includes the KTS1 wide range tilt stand which helps in positioning the 
radio.  (The stand is no longer available from Elecraft.)


I built the radio several years ago but it has had limited use.  It is 
in excellent condition and works well.


Original cost was $458.  I'm asking $335 (including insured priority 
mail shipping).


Please contact off-list

[Elecraft] Headset

[Mike Harris]

Hi,

If I remember correctly the Koss SB45 headset has been offered as a 
suitable substitute for the K3 weapon of choice the Yamaha CM500. Any 
experience out there?


My much used CM500 are starting to shed the leatherette covering and the 
foam inside the cavities is wearing away. CM500 can be rather difficult 
to source.


Regards,

Mike VP8NO

Re: [Elecraft] In case you missed it.

[David Cutter]

I was recently infected by a bad dose of ransomwear.  I don't know it's 
source but it could easily have been something I incautiously opened - I 
don't think so, but..  I tell my friends to always use the BCC function and 
if they don't I won't open their male anymore.  I didn't open that link just 
in case.  Big message - do frequent back-ups *and disconnect your back-up 
drive*.

Ron, you had more courage than I did to open a link in a posting that 
looked like 100-percent spam...or much worse.  Such a posting with a link 
so vaguely and suspiciously described is high school kid stuff.


I looked to see what you were addressing.  The excerpt with faux subtitles 
is from the 2004 German film "Der Untergang" ("Downfall" in English), a 
most excellently-made historical film.  But it has long been a banal 
cliche to use this excerpt with many different allegedly humorous but 
always sophomoric subtitles.


So...note to list members...the link in the original posting takes you to 
an "angry Hitler" rant from "Der Untergang" that is subtitled to have the 
KX3 and QRP as its subject.  Ha Ha.

Re: [Elecraft] In case you missed it.

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Yes, personally, I find it (them) very funny. There is another one about DX and 
QSL cards (but not in a position to find it at present).
