[Elecraft] K3-"stuttering TX on power up -- solved
It was indeed the PTT-KEY setting. I've always had it OFF-OFF. Apparently during or after our move to NV, probably while setting up the gear in the new "shack", it got changed to DTR-OFF [obviously by me, who else?]. There are no radio programs or loggers running on the computer but it is an RS232-USB adapter. Thanks to all who suggested the solution. 73, Fred K6DGW - Sparks NV DM09dn - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the Cal QSO Party 7-8 Oct 2017 - www.cqp.org __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] Paper Tape CW sender
Guessing a lot of us first licensed in 1950's learned code from one of these. Instruct-O-Graph sounds familiar. My ham license instructor (elmer) used one in night-time class a nearby HS (Caro, MI). He was music teacher for his day job. Must have trusted me as he let me take it home after class ended. I got to where I had memorized the tape after playing it, so resorted to copying code with my 3-tube regen receiver on 40m. He administered my Novice exam resulting in KN8MWA in Nov. 1958.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 wonky on 30 meters
Hi Bob, The first thing I would try is to perform a parameter reset on the P3. Note that this will erase any settings such as FN keys etc that you have programmed, so you may want to save the configuration with P3 Utility or write them down. To perform the parameter reset, turn off the P3 and then while holding down the MENU key, press the POWER key. If the parameter reset doesn't fix it, please contact Elecraft Customer Service via phone or email. Their email is k3support at you know where dot com. 73, Paul -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/P3-wonky-on-30-meters-tp7623700p7623755.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

I used to own one of these (the single-hole variety) - it never worked too well, but then I was no expert at it. Don't remember where I got rid of it - probably at a hamfest for a song. I took my extra code exam with a portable version of this machine, run by the FCC examiner. It's a long story which I won't repeat, but it involved a tape machine malfunction! Cranky beasts.

Re: [Elecraft] amp-hr reading from kx2
Hi, The VFO B display can show a wide variety of other information in addition to frequency by tapping DISP and rotating the VFO B knob. However, you cannot display alternate VFO B data while data or CW text decode is active. This shows the total ampere-hours used since the value was last reset. It can be used to test batteries or estimate the remaining battery charge. Holding OFS/B/CLR when in the AMP HRS menu resets the amp-hours to 0.

Re: [Elecraft] K3-TX "stutters" on power up
Fred, The cause might be the initialisation of the com port connected to the K3 (PTT and KEY on pins of RTS and DTR, = pins 4 and 7). 73 Arie PA3A Op 31-10-2016 om 5:15 schreef Fred Jensen: This may not be new, I often pay no attention to the radio if I power it up, but recently I've noticed that it's going into TX multiple times as the start-up display scrolls by on VFO B. I don't think it's making any RF. FWIW: I do operate W7RN remote using RemoteRig which immediately puts the K3 into TERM mode. This problem I've noticed happens when I'm operating from home, 100W, almost always on CW. I don't see any harm to it, it's just new, and I'm wondering. FW is 5.38 Any info appreciated. 73, Fred K6DGW - Sparks NV DM09dn - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the Cal QSO Party 7-8 Oct 2017 - www.cqp.org __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to p...@xs4all.nl __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
