[Elecraft] For Sale: KXV3A RX Ant, IF Out, and Xverter Interface

2016-10-21 Thread Michael via Elecraft 

Just upgraded my K3 to the new KXV3B and have a like new KXV3A for
 sale for $85 shipped anywhere in the USA via USPS Priority Mail.
Includes: KXV3a assembly, TMP cable, back panel insert, hardware
 kit, and installation instructions.  This is all the stuff you get when you
 buy this upgrade from Elecraft.  This KXV3A was bought new from Elecraft in
 late 2011 and cost me $120.

I also will sell the original KSYN3 synthesizer board if anyone would like 
a spare (just upgraded it too -to the
latest version (make an offer), and the 3 board set of the original KIO3 
(with RS232 interface) as that too was
upgraded.

You can put away the tin foil!  The lines of force arriving thousands of 
miles away are not going through your loop; they are closed loops that

That's the difference between near and far fields.

Re: [Elecraft] Locating Information in Elecraft Manuals

2016-10-21 Thread Don Wilhelm 

Ted's suggestion is good.
However, if your question is related to anything that may be connected 
with a menu item, the quickest solution is to turn to the listing of 
menu items about midway through the manual.  Many answers can be found 
there without the need to cull through all the text.

Hi Carl,

If your mic requires bias voltage, then when you go into the microphone selection menu on the 
K3S (tap Menu, then rotate VFO B to select "MIC SEL", then rotate VFO A to select the 
desired mic input jack(s) (you already did this step), THEN press the number "2" on the 
K3s front panel number keypad, which will alternately toggle the microphone bias voltage on and off.

This instruction is buried/hidden in the manual - it does NOT appear on the 
page where it should appear, i.e. where the MIC SEL menu option is explained.
I was planning to make a documentation improvement suggestion to Elecraft 
at some point about this, but I didn't get around to it yet. It took me a very 
long time to find it in the manual.

Re: [Elecraft] Magnetic Loop question

2016-10-21 Thread Bill Leonard N0CU 
"The polarization does not matter to radiation pattern. "

This isn't the case for most antennas we use which launch an electromagnetic
wave by generating an electric field. Ground characteristics affect the
pattern of a vertically polarized wave much more than they affect a
horizontally polarized wave for these types of antennas. The mag loop
however, as I understand it, launches an EM wave by generating a magnetic
field. Do the ground characteristics not affect the pattern of a magnetic
field the way they do an electric field? If they do have the same affect,
then the above statement isn't true.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Freq jumpnig when cold (50F or so)

2016-10-21 Thread Arie Kleingeld PA3A 

Bill,

Maybe it's a hardware problem:
The connector from frontpanel to main rf board for example?

When the temp is low, maybe there are some bad contacts. Take off the 
front panel and  clean all pins of the connections. Do this thouroughly, 
polish all four sides of each connector-pin.

Op 21-10-2016 om 1:50 schreef Bill Coleman:

Thanks Don.I put on 5.54 The K3 is behaving differently   No
more jumping down 1MHz.

What it is doing now:  there's still a relay clicking once in a while as I
tune VFO A - this is within any given ham band.
Now, while tuning VFO A, VFO B will jump frequency.

Example:
VFO A = 3.853, press A>B, tune A up frequency less than a kHz, B jumps, now
A = 3.853 B = 3.994

Somewhat similar but stranger behavior on 40M
VFO A = 7.274, press A>B, tune A up freq, B jumps a LOT, now A=7.275 B =
8.600

In the time it has taken to test and scribble the results, the rig has
warmed up from 50F to 66F and it works fine  No freq jumps, no relay
clatter.

OK, I went back to Firmware  5.52 & chilled the rig (53F).   The jumping
1MHz down is back.   Hmmm...  Next step?  I'm thing the FP flash memory has
a problem with low temps.

Try loading beta firmware 5.54 to that K3 and see if that behavior

That firmware improves the flash memory interface.
I can't say for sure if it will fix that K3, but is worth a try.

increasing the frequency using  VFO A or VFO B causes a 1MHz jump DOWN

frequent and it will also jump down 1 MHz.  At times while tuning up
in freq there are some relay clicks - usually 2 -  but no frequency jumps.
