Not a recommendation... never used one, but I think that is what these
types of adapters are used for. Somewhat popular for cell phones.

The problem with that is that it assumes that the Amphenol connector you 
properly installed is mated to another Amphenol connector, properly 
installed.


A few years ago, I added stubs to a couple of antennas for harmonic 
suppression, carefully placing them for optimum suppression, but didn't 
hear nearly as much suppression as I thought I should. One of the causes 
was rectification and re-radiation, as you had posted (thank you VERY 
much for that), but the other cause was leakage in the cabling that made 
up my antenna switching, and in the switching itself. Harmonic 
suppression can be a big deal if you're trying work SO2R on 40/80 and 
40/20.


The next summer, I bought a spool of BuryFlex and a bag of 83-1SPs and 
replaced every piece of coax in that system. I also replaced the 6x2 
Array Solutions switch with the newest 4O3A 8x2 switch. Once that work 
was complete, harmonic suppression provided by the stubs was 
significantly better, and what I heard was down to the "gurgly" sounding 
rectification you described.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 loss of rx signal

[Barry]

Frank,
I have had intermittent problems with BNC and N connectors. It was a 
really subtle thing. The connectors were for 75 Ohm connection vice 50 
Ohms. That meant the center pin was thinner which caused intermittent 
connections. After that, I've always checked to see that I didn't make 
that mistake again.

If you've ever used BNC connectors in a lab environment -- especially

Good point Frank.

Amphenol specs leakage for their BNC connectors at 3GHz where they

dB. By comparison they claim 90 dB at 3 GHz for their type N

I've never felt the need for the additional shielding in the shack.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 loss of rx signal

[David Olean]

I would echo Frank's comments. I learned long ago that you never measure 
antenna gain with any BNC connectors in the signal path. Each joint 
would introduce intermittent loss depending on how much the cable 
moved.  They are not very stable at VHF frequencies. They sure are 
convenient though for more simple tasks.

Hi Don,

I suspected I was most likely a case of bad luck with a component so thanks for 
confirming that.  Yes, I was thinking ahead on how I would be removing it.  I 
thought about trying that approach and crushing it with pliers to get at each 
pin.  Being clear on three sides will make that a little easier.

De-solder braid and a de-soldering pump have been my tools of choice for the 
past 30 years.. I'll be sure to be really careful, so thanks for also 
mentioning that point.


I'll contact Elecraft and ask for the part.


thanks,

Cameron


PS, that was a fast response to my question, very much appreciated!

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft K2 IF Amp issue and loking for advice

[Don Wilhelm]

Cameron,

There is nothing in that circuit that would have zapped L34.  I would 
just replace the inductor.


If you do not have good de-soldering equipment, L34 may be difficult to 
remove.  I suggest destroying the present inductor if you have to, and 
take it out one pin at a time (get the shield off first, then work on 
the inductor).
Be careful not to damage the thru-plated holes in the RF Board, or you 
will be in for a circuit re-wiring task.

[Elecraft] Elecraft K2 IF Amp issue and loking for advice

[Cameron Francey]

Hi,

I was re-adjusting the IF amp peak on my K2, however (and I do remember having 
an issue at build time) there is no peak in the whole range of the inductor can.

Doing some investigation along with the circuit digram I think I have found my 
problem.


Across pins 1 and 8 of U12 I'm seeing the value of R111, which is about 5k5, 
but thats also in parallel with the winding of L34, so I'd have expected that 
to have measured just a few ohms or less.

So seems that my issue is an open circuit L34.  The only reason I noticed this 
was because side by side with my more recent K2 its not quite as sensitive.  On 
the plus side it does have a much lower noise floor.


So, my question is based around if anything would cause L34 to go open circuit? 
 I cant see anything in the circuit that might have caused excessive current or 
something similar.  All the solder work in that whole area is neat, and I 
didn't over-do the heat when installing it and the components all appear to be 
in the correct places.

It had worked, as I remember finding the peak at the time I built it, but then 
suddenly it wouldn't re-peak after that, but at the time I didn't think much 
more of it.


Should I just request L34, or is there something else I may need from others 
past experiences?



thanks in advance,

Cameron - AF7DK/GM7LQR

K2 #1239 is green at night when the internal light is on, more gray than

Re: [Elecraft] Can Anyone recommended a great QRP Antenna and Antenna Pole for KX3

[Bill Breeden]

I can't say enough good things about a CrankIR vertical either. Have 
used mine for Field Day and two NPOTA activations and it worked great.  
Even had it installed over my permanent radial field for about a month 
while my SteppIR vertical was being repaired after some wind damage.

Its not the lightest or easiest to deploy but it could very well be the best performing portable self supporting antenna out there. Once set up its fully resonant on your band of choice and easy to change bands.  I stripped mine down for 40-6m at 10lbs and fit in a charter sized suite case on a recent trip to HI9 land.


With the kx3 running 10w I rarely had to call CQ more then 3 times and was 
creating pileups. Its large footprint does attract a bit of attention on the 
beach and most folks thought I was setting up a deep sea fishing rod (its a 
real chick magnet lol).  Theres definitely no performance compromise with this 
portable antenna if you can tolerate the extra weight and setup time.

I also tried the random wire in a tree one afternoon there which worked 
surprisingly well too but had to work a lot harder for contacts. This was all 
SSB.

Going to Hawaii with KX3 from high rise Hotels and some Sandy Beaches
that is lightweight, easy to deploy, carry on Airlines or packed into luggage.

Any Portable Poles to recommend for End Fed Antenna's

My MFJ-1920 pole is 3.8ft when collapsed and extends to 33 feet
but when Island Hopping, 3.8ft does not qualify as a Carry On due to it's length
So hit with extra baggage fee's

Maybe a Fishing pole that is on sections that not as long, when collapsed
would be the Answer, some 14ft to 17 feet Crappie Fishing poles only
breakdown to 46inches to 48inches, about the collapsed length of my
MFJ-1910 fiberglass telescopic mast

[Elecraft] Can Anyone recommended a great QRP

[j...@kk9a.com]

A resonant vertical is a good portable antenna if you have a decent ground
system.  It is certainly much better than the popular 43 foot vertical.
However it will not typically perform the way yours did on the beach where
the pseudo-brewster angle radiation is filled out.

[Elecraft] K3S Macro Settings

[Gary Ferdinand]

Is it possible to set M1 and M2 to macros?   I seem to be able to set M3 and M4 
OK to modify TX EQ or FLAT.  

I’ve not been able to assign to M1 or M2 any macro.  On the K3 I assigned them 
to a sequence of DN7;DN7; … DN7  or the UP7 equivalent so that with those two  
buttons I could easily QSY up or down 50 kHz.  The K3S responds with a “SET” 
response, but the execution does not work.

The macros are a simple sequence of DN7;DN7;DN7 repeated ten times.

I figure I’m missing something.  Those macros worked FB on the K3.  They work 
FB from the K3 Utility, current version.  They can be set FB into the K3S.  But 
the execution is ignored.

All help appreciated.

73/Gary W2CS

Oh they did use some big antennas too, for EME and MS etc.  If you read
the article, it sort of all started with the tube...
(If you look in the background of some of the pictures, you can see
other amps and stuff they have built in the past.)

A bit like the guy who built the original Jaguar V12 powered trike, he
had the engine, people said it was impossible to do,  the rest is
history as there are several about now around the world, just google
"jaguar v12 trike".

Nice construction of your projects Wes.  Very nice indeed.

Any Portable Poles to recommend for End Fed Antenna's

My MFJ-1920 pole is 3.8ft when collapsed and extends to 33 feet
but when Island Hopping, 3.8ft does not qualify as a Carry On due to it's length
So hit with extra baggage fee's 

Maybe a Fishing pole that is on sections that not as long, when collapsed 
would be the Answer, some 14ft to 17 feet Crappie Fishing poles only 
breakdown to 46inches to 48inches, about the collapsed length of my 
MFJ-1910 fiberglass telescopic mast

[Elecraft] [K3] WTB: KAT500

[Petr, OK1RP/M0SIS]

Hello, 

thank you very much for forwarded link with selling the KAT500 arrived from
one of the subscriber over here on list. Unfortunately CONUS only again. So
no deal. Still looking for this used unit to complete my station. Maybe if
someone in EU is thinking about selling it as "no more used" or so... 

Thank you for tips or offers. 

73 - Petr, OK1RP

Re: [Elecraft] Amber display for the K2?

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

Oh man, talk about putting one’s foot in one’s mouth!!

I guess I WAS missing a yuge point.

I immediately thought of the K3, K3S, KX2 & KX3.

I completely missed the fact you were asking about the K2, which of course, 
DOES have a green display.

 

Very sorry for all the wasted electrons….

I saw a picture wher somone had an amber display on their K2.
I would assume it's just a matter of changing out the led backlight.
So the question is where can I get an Amber backlight panel?Or do I just
make my own?

Add a hundred watt amp and you'd be very close to an IC-7300.

Would it not make sense to produce a KX3S that combines the KX3 with the
PX3, doubles the output power, and provides a full complement of I/O
connectors, and a new powerful Li-based battery?

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] Re: reply to digest

[Alan. G4GNX]

Surely it would be better if this thread was culled out altogether.  It has 
nothing to do with Elecraft products or Ham Radio and is a netiquette/email 
matter, better dealt with on a list that caters for net protocol.


If this thread had been on real radio, it would have been stopped by now as 
it seems to have gone past the threshold for long-winded (boring) posts per 
thread!
