Re: [Elecraft] Heath kit and the Lazarus Loop

[Richard Fjeld]

I seem to remember a 2 meter mobile that got recalled and shredded per 
FCC direction not long before the company closed down.

I remembered Heathkit as having first been an airframe manufacturer which got 
into electronics after the War.  I just checked the history, one version of 
which can be found here:  http://www.heathkit.nu/heathkit_nu_HeathStory.html.

Apparently the company was sold to Daystrom as early as 1955.  Zenith bought it 
in 1979, after the company had diversified far afield from the electronics kit 
market. My first TX was a DX-20, which I built in 1957.  I remember later kits 
coming out into at least the middle 70s.  My last one was an HW-101, more or 
less 1973, and there were several years of good kits after that.  So it lasted 
at least that long under Daystrom, a substantial corporation by that time.

It may be that Heath’s demise came less from a lack of entrepreneurship than 
from a lack of focus on the market where it had mastered its route to success.  
The introduction of personal computers at around the same time probably played 
a role as well.  It would be interesting to know whether any of the MBAs on the 
list know of a Heath Inc. B-school case.

The “Lazarus Loop” may be well named – apparently the company had cycled 
through bankruptcy more than once even in its early days.  The site noted above 
tells the tale.

[Elecraft] KIO3 boards wanted--redux

[Jan Ditzian]

I asked for help with my K3 to computer connection on this reflector, 
and then asked for a used set of KIO3 boards.  John, KH7T, was nice 
enough to send me his old set of KIO3 boards for free.  I replaced my 
boards, and, while I was at it, looked at the original set for fried 
chokes (they taste best when fried), because, Keith, WE6R, an Elecraft 
tech, suggested that these might be the problem.  The result is that I 
still have the problem, but did not get to enjoy fried chokes.


To recap:

1. Following a power surge, my K3 continued to operate, but no longer
   spoke or listened to the computer to which it was connected.
2. I bought a new serial-to-USB converter from Elecraft, and tried it
   with the K3, using my main computer and a also an older Acer netbook.
3. I checked to see if the USB ports were bad, but other devices work
   in the same ports.
4. I then replaced the KIO3 boards with the new ones and repeated the
   check.

Nothing has made a difference.  I test by trying to connect with the 
Elecraft K3 utility that has worked before.


My next step will be to contact Elecraft and send the radio to them, 
meaning a *minimum* service charge of $100, plus parts, plus insured 
shipping both ways, unless someone on this reflector has deeper ears 
than I have and can pull something else out of them.


Thanks to all for their help and offers of replacement boards.

73,

Jan, KX2A

Re: [Elecraft] P3 tx Monitor on VGA?

[David F. Reed]

Leroy,

I suspect you misread my post; my P3 with SVGA & TX monitor options 
displays the receive spectrum just fine; it does not display the TX 
Monitor info on either RX or TX.  According to Elecraft it doesn't do 
that, and they didn't disclose if they have plans to do that.


If somehow you have the TX monitor functions displaying on your monitor 
(not just on the P3), please share how you did it; I am sure a lot of us 
would like to know...


Thanks & 73 de Dave, W5SV

lots of state side and DX with it and the MTR 5b radio tuning with the T1.  I 
just spent a week with it up in the Smokes.  It was hung off a 31' Jakite 
fiberglass extendable pole mounted up on the rear ladder of my motorhome, about 
35' in the air.

Thanks for helping, I appreciate it.  

I heard from Gary at tech support, moments ago, and he had me test some things. 
 He thinks that there are a couple diodes gone, and offered to fix it if I send 
it in.  I also just ordered a second T1 to use when I break one of the tuners.  
I have big stuff, but don't care to use them with my little qrp radios.

Thanks again for your help.

I have very recently purchase several little kits from Elecraft, to learn how 
to build and fix on.  I also want to try building a very basic kit radio, then 
a K1.  I have all the recommended tools, the adjustable Weller solder station, 
magnification lens and light, proper solder, etc...  Hopefully, I will soon 
have the skill to handle this type of small repair job on my toys.  

I have a very nice K2 that is loaded, several little elecraft kits, and want to 
build a K1 soon.  I am also saving up for a new factory built K3s.  

Take care Don,

Thanks again,

Steve

Re: [Elecraft] ATTN: K6CTW

[Michael Walker]

I don't mind them, but it is getting out of hand.  Seriously.  I can't wait
till the the election starts.

I think Elecraft needs 2 reflectors.  The broad ranging one, and the very
product specific one.

I'm on 15 different reflectors.  This one and 1 other are all over the
place.  The rest of very specific and they control it.

my 2 cents

Our bedroom clock (Walmart?) tracks 60 KHz WWVB, choice of times, follows

Re: [Elecraft] T1 as stopped tuning correctly.

[Don Wilhelm]

Steve,

That 33 foot wire may be what is giving you problems.  It is a half wave 
on 20 meter and present an impedance greater than the T1 can tune.

I quote from the T1 manual:
"Avoid lengths close to a multiple of 1/2-wavelength on any band you plan to
use. If you use an end-fed wire with no feedline and/or a poor ground, 
you may need to reduce power to avoid RFI problems with the transceiver, 
tuner, nearby computers, portable phones, etc."


I suggest you try a different length, or at least add a short 
counterpoise wire.  If you are using it on 40 meters, you definitely 
need a counterpoise wire of about 33 feet.


73,
Don W3FPR

[Elecraft] Heath kit and the Lazarus Loop

[Dauer, Edward]

I remembered Heathkit as having first been an airframe manufacturer which got 
into electronics after the War.  I just checked the history, one version of 
which can be found here:  http://www.heathkit.nu/heathkit_nu_HeathStory.html.   

Apparently the company was sold to Daystrom as early as 1955.  Zenith bought it 
in 1979, after the company had diversified far afield from the electronics kit 
market. My first TX was a DX-20, which I built in 1957.  I remember later kits 
coming out into at least the middle 70s.  My last one was an HW-101, more or 
less 1973, and there were several years of good kits after that.  So it lasted 
at least that long under Daystrom, a substantial corporation by that time. 

It may be that Heath’s demise came less from a lack of entrepreneurship than 
from a lack of focus on the market where it had mastered its route to success.  
The introduction of personal computers at around the same time probably played 
a role as well.  It would be interesting to know whether any of the MBAs on the 
list know of a Heath Inc. B-school case.

The “Lazarus Loop” may be well named – apparently the company had cycled 
through bankruptcy more than once even in its early days.  The site noted above 
tells the tale.

R.I.P.

Ted, KN1CBR

Hi,

I share the feelings of most of the most recent posters. I have no idea who
is behind the new P.O. box in Santa Cruz which according to Wikipedia was
established in October 2015. I wish them luck, crossing my fingers, but not
holding much hope for their success.

Now, to the OT: part. Elecraft is living proof that the demise of Heathkit
didn't have to be an inevitable thing. Heathkit died, not only because
technology changed but more so by serious corporate mismanagement. Once the
original company was sold to Zenith, the writing was on the wall. Had
entrepreneurial folks, that were probably very similar in talent to Eric and
Wayne remained in control, Heathkit could have survived to this day. I am
one of the old-timers who remembers the heyday of Heathkit and considers its
demise nothing short of a national tragedy (yes, we built Heathkits in
Norway, too).

[Elecraft] KFL3A-6K-IR Filter

[Grady Harper via Elecraft]

I have just installed a new 6K AM filter in my K3s.  I configured the filter by 
computer, and checked using CONFIG .  Band width was 6k Hz, offset 0.  When I 
turn the band width knob I only get a spread of 5k.  Any suggestion would help.

The filter was put in slot 1.

As much as I liked Heathkit stuff, this looks like a 4.00 dollar clock
module in a 90.00 dollar box, and a 5.00 dollar power supply.

It isn't even WWVB, or GPS locked.  Sorry to be so negative about it,
but the new Heathkit is going to have to do very much better than a
99.00 dollar clock to stay in business over the next five years.

Construction would be fun, but really-- a $99.00 non lockable digital
clock?  

I fear for the new Heathkit...

Re: [Elecraft] T1 as stopped tuning correctly.

Thanks Don.

In the video I posted on youtube, the blinking yellow is actually the self test 
sending code for each value.

The green light was blinking when in first step of tune mode, then touch paddle 
to start 2nd step of tune mode.  Normally it moves around trying different 
tunings and latches on to the best one.  Now, it just has steady tone, steady 
green light, flickering yellow a tiny bit, but does not try different tunings 
and does not latch, and does not finish the tuning, like it use to.   I ran the 
self test and the blinking yellow light showed the following results.

S=1R0,SWR
V=8R9,BATTERY VOLTAGE
L=0, INDUCTANCE
C=0, CAPACITANCE
N=t,  NETWORK CONFIG
B=0,  BAND ID
F=1R07  FIRMWARE  REVISION

Tested following with neg dmm lead on neg bat tab.  No battery in device 
tested. Red DMM lead on parts ends, one at a time:

> How could he anticipate that YOU personally would respond...  :-)

That's not the point.  When you post a general request for help (e.g.,
to a mail list), don't be blocking replies *or* expect someone trying
to help you to go take *extra steps* to respond to an e-mail challenge.

If I get one of those challenges, it automatically goes into my spam
bucket and the person who has asked for help loses out - period.  So
too does anyone who has an e-mail provider that blocks my ISP.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: The Heathkit clocks are back!

[Mark E. Musick]

It is real. 
Sometime back, I think it was here on the reflector, someone had bought
their little AM radio kit and said it was a very good kit and they enjoyed
building it.
The assembly manual was up to the expected Heathkit quality.

Re: [Elecraft] Paint for EC-2 Enclosure

[EricJ]

I posted the same question a few days ago for an EC2 clone that I built. 
Most suggested I have an Elecraft panel scanned to order custom paint. 
That sort of flew in the face of building an EC2 clone to save money. I 
could have bought one for what it cost to order custom paint and apply it.


However, I had painted it with Krylon CoverMax 51318 gray ultra flat 
primer. Once it has thoroughly dried, you can buff it with a clean cloth 
to give it a slight satin look that's closer to the Elecraft finish and 
texture. It's not a close color match, but with the EC2 in amongst my 
two K2's and another factory painted EC2, the color difference doesn't 
show all that much in average hamshack lighting. Some day, I'd like to 
find a rattle can that is closer, but in the mean time, it looks decent 
and works fine.


In the photos here, the side panels are primer, but the top panel is an 
original factory-painted panel. Obviously, the front panel is 
unprimered. Worth a try in a pinch until we can find a better match.

the paint is removed that needs to be touched up.  Where can I get pain that 
would match the color/texture of the existing pain on that enclosure?

Thoughts and/or information from other's experience much appreciated.  Thanks

Re: [Elecraft] OT: The Heathkit clocks are back!

[Barry Baines]

Ken:

My GC-1005 that I built as a teenager in 1973 as my first Heathkit experience 
is still serving as my bedside clock having served continuously for over 43 
years. That said, I could use another clock or two for other applications.  
Looks like a fun kit to build!

While the pricing as a ‘clock’ maybe high, the “intrinsic value” (nostalgia and 
fun of building) probably makes it worthwhile to me.

Thanks for the heads up.

[Elecraft] KX3: Eneloop Pro AA vs. Eneloop 21 AA cells

[Chip Stratton]

I've had 8 Eneloop Pro 2400 mAh cells in my KX3 for about 3 years now.
There have probably been only about 30 charge/discharge cycles on them,
since I most often use an external LiFePO4 pack when I can.

Just recently I've begun to experience KX3 shutdown when trying to transmit
at 5 watts or more into a well matched load - including a dummy load. At
the 3 watt level, the built-in voltmeter has shown a full 2 volt drop with
a 1.2 amp load: from 10.8 in receive to 8.8. This is fresh off a full
charge, and even though the cells still show about a 2400 mAh capacity with
a refresh cycle in an external battery charger/analyzer.

Replacing the Eneloop Pro cells with standard 2100 mAh Eneloops of
approximately the same age I don't have the problem. The 1.2 amp voltage
drop is 0.9 V and not much more when I transmit at 10 watts.

I had run across other's experiences with these cells that noted an
increased internal resistance compared to the standard Eneloops, and my
experience seems to confirm this. At the least it seems the Eneloop Pro
cells haven't aged as well as the standard Eneloops.

I thought this experience might help other KX3 owners.

Ken and Don,

I think you got this response because you responded direct to the sender 
rather than to the Elecraft reflector. Or perhaps you copied his direct 
email on a response to the reflector.


I also use a required response spam filter system that catches most 
automated junk, but it only requires that you click on a link in the 
email you receive from that system. I've used it since my website host 
first offered it nearly 20 years ago.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3, KXPA100 and KX Utility Software

[Don Wilhelm]

Frank,

I think you will be happier using the soundcard route.
The KX3 Utility will PSK-D, FSK-D or CW.
If you already have the capability to download firmware to the 
KX3/KXPA100 or to save the configuration, etc using KX3 Utility, you are 
all set - just go to the Terminal tab, then tune the KX3 to the station 
of interest (and set the proper data submode - or CW) and it should be 
decoded.

Type in the transmit window and it should be transmitted.

If you want the conventional waterfall display and point to the signal 
and click to tune it, use the soundcard and select DATA A for all but 
RTTY where you will want to use AFSK A.

How does one configure (cable) a KX3, KXPA100 and a computer to use the
Elecraft KX3 Utility software for data modes?

Or, must I have to go the sound card route and use a different program for
digital modes?

I was going to respond, but based on the experience below, I will decline.
IMHO, this is a horrid way to operate email.

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] Antenna Question

[Morgan Bailey]

How stiff is the 20 meter vertical? I take an 8 inch long piece of 1.5in
pvc and make a stand off at the base and the top for the vertical. Then run
a wire from the 20 meter feed point to the top of the 20 meter vertical
giving you 17feet...then out another 17 feet and you will have an inverted
L. Otherwise you can put a 20 meter trap at the top and put a 17 feet piece
of wire out with no stand offs and do the same thing. Although, if you use
the parallel feed, you can use the 40 meter wire (inverted L) on 15 meters
easily with no tuner. Just put down a few wires on the ground and let the
grass grow over them

You may need to add a counter traction on the vertical with an insulated
rope to keep the vertical from bowing in the direction of the 40 meter L.
It should work really nicely for you.  I know that this works because I use
a 40 meter vertical that I have rigged to work 160 through 10.

[Elecraft] Paint for EC-2 Enclosure

[Ken Miller K6CTW]

All

I have an EC-2 that is getting ready to be built into a power-supply, speaker 
et. for my K2.  When the holes for the meters, speakers, switches, etc. are 
milled out in the front and back panels, there will undoubtedly be areas where 
the paint is removed that needs to be touched up.  Where can I get pain that 
would match the color/texture of the existing pain on that enclosure?

Thoughts and/or information from other's experience much appreciated.  Thanks 
in advance.

Re: [Elecraft] k3s radio kit

[Bill Frantz]

I have used egg cartons and ice cube trays as well as muffin 
pans and glass bowls. I usually can reach a finger into both the 
egg cartons and ice cube trays to slide a small part up the side 
without using tweezers.

Actually, I hate those muffin tins or plastic box compartments 
because I cannot just reach in with my fingers and pull out a 
component - pliers or tweezers are needed to extract a screw or 
other component from those containers.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 Band Tracking

[Barry Simpson]

Hi Edward

I am buying into this thread somewhat late. However, I did not see a
particular suggestion which has previously caused me similar problems.

Have you, inadvertently or otherwise, changed the "radio" setting in the
KPA500 menu?  It should be set as K3. If it isn't, you will get some
strange effects.

I also had a problem when the K3 to KPA500 suffered a broken conductor.

So it could be either.

The new leads from Elecraft are much better and more flexible than the ones
originally available when the KPA500 first came out.
