[Elecraft] ATU and Bandpass Filter

2017-06-22 Thread Lane
A question about the K2. Taking it to the club for FD and I have a
bandpass filter (CF-20) which says "Never use radio's internal tuner
with filter."

I have the internal ATU installed. Is there a way to bypass that? Or
should I just use the "main antenna" jack (manual says never use if
ATU installed) on the bottom left, instead of the two midway in the
middle?

Re: [Elecraft] 6 meters open this morning; listening 50.095 (CW)

2017-06-22 Thread lmarion
Yes the tuners are great, and my 160 mtr full wave loop makes a good  6mtr 
antenna, especially on receive.


But something about 6 mtrs on a beam, magic.

Hf beams, yeah they do mostly what you expect.  But something about the 
short wave length, maybe.


Maybe 2 mtrs is that way too, I don't know.

But every 6 meter beam I have kicks butt.

My KX3 and a portable MFJ 6 meter 3ele beam works like a big gun station.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 PREAMP2

2017-06-22 Thread Don Wilhelm

Brian,

Since the IF takeoff point in the K3 is before any filtering or 
processing, I would expect the band noise floor to rise with the preamp(s).


If you are referring to the receiver noise level with the antenna 
disconnected, then you have a valid point and I have no suggestions to 
offer.

Re: [Elecraft] RTTY with K3

2017-06-22 Thread Don Wilhelm

Tom,

Many USB to serial adapters do not work at slower speeds, and the FSK 
input to the K3 is at a slow speed (the baud rate for RTTY is slow).


The Edgeport USB to serial converters seem to work well at any speed (I 
have the 4 port converter).  Note that there is an apparent difference 
between "converter" and "adapter".


If you do not wish to purchase another adapter (converter), you might 
want to set the K3 up for AFSK-A and use your soundcard to both the K3 
LINE IN and LINE OUT - just set the audio levels as you would for any 
other soundcard data mode - 4 bars solid on the K3 ALC meter with the 
5th bar flashing.


Once the audio levels are set, you should not have to touch them during 
operation.  An external soundcard is best as long as it is not set to be 
the default soundcard in your computer - if it is, turn off any sounds 
from your Operating System.


You do have a soundcard that you are using for the RTTY decode, use the 
same one.


AFSK-A is as good as FSK-D, and may give even better IMD performance.

Don W3FPR

Re: [Elecraft] 6 meters open this morning; listening 50.095 (CW)

2017-06-22 Thread Fred Jensen
Well... I have an 80-10 End Fed on the top of the wood fence.  My KAT3 
easily tunes it to 6 meters with 1.1:1 SWR, however I've heard nothing 
except NW Reno [~10 mi], which probably wasn't Es.  Two reasons come to 
mind:


1.  The antenna is one-way on 6 meters

2.  Es is very selective as to location and apparently it isn't 
selecting Sparks NV.

We actually test at higher levels than this. 

The hardware AGC is *after* the crystal filter. Gain control prior to the 
filter is in discrete steps under control of the user: preamps and attenuator

Re: [Elecraft] Roofing Filters

2017-06-22 Thread Joe Subich, W4TV


>  Could you elaborate on "dynamic range" in crystal filters?

All crystals have imperfections (flaws).  Those flaws create distortion
when the crystal is driven with a high level signal and the distortion
(non-linear response) results in intermodulation distortion (IMD).

The K3/K3S operates the crystal filter at a higher level than many other
receivers.  Thus, testing the filters for linearity at the maximum
signal level (equivalent to S9 +40 dB - where the hardware AGC engages)
is important to assure the best possible performance over the entire
operating range of the K3/K3S.

It's probably pretty narrow-banded. Did you try tapping ATU TUNE a second time 
within five seconds? The tuner tries about twice as many settings when you do 
that.

Get what you are saying but I go by what my Dad taught me...

RE: Tools
"Son, Buy the best tool you can find for each job.  Save up if you have
to.  If you can't afford to buy the tool once, you surely can't afford
to buy it twice."

I apply that rule to tools, equipment, cabling, et al because ALL of
those things and more are merely "tools" for me to accomplish some
task.  Works for me and less expensive in the long run.

Re: [Elecraft] 6 meters open this morning; listening 50.095 (CW)

2017-06-22 Thread Ken G Kopp
I keep a 6M GP ... actually a 2M 5/8 wave vertical ... connected to my
K3's 2nd receiver antenna input (only) and monitoring 50.125 all the time.
The 2nd receiver is worth the investment for this purpose alone, IMO.

73!

Re: [Elecraft] Roofing Filters

hence my earlier statement:

"I'll be getting mine from Elecraft directly."

Thousands of dollars in radio fear and people risk niggling problems and
time wasted over a few bucks...  Just simply doesn't make sense to me.

Re: [Elecraft] Roofing Filters

2017-06-22 Thread Kevin - K4VD
An alternative thought. INRAD makes a decent product and has been around
for years. I've used their roofing filter in my FT-1000 and I think it was
in my FT-897 also(?). If I were looking to refit an existing rig, any rig,
with a roofing filter I'd give serious consideration to INRAD's offerings.

Specifications are a consideration. I'm not sure how the two products
compare in the lab. If both are very similar then I'd say thank you to
INRAD for selling at the lower price.

Don't get me wrong. I really enjoy my Elecraft. One of the best rigs I've
ever owned and definitely the best when portable. But if I want to say
thank you I'll send them a card.

Re: [Elecraft] Question about K2

2017-06-22 Thread Don Wilhelm

Aaron,

It is likely that the PA transistors have failed.
Pull the top cover off and measure the voltage at the BASE of either Q7 
or Q8.  During receive, it should be zero, and during transmit it should 
be in the range of 0.60 to 0.64 volts.
If it is anything other than that, remove the PA transistors - get the 
K2PAKIT from Elecraft, it has matched transistors.
Once you have the PA transistors removed, measure the voltage at the 
solder pad for the base of Q7 or Q8 during a TUNE - if it is not in the 
range of 0.60 to 0.64 volts, replace Q11 and Q13 before putting the PA 
transistors back in.


If the voltages on Q7 and Q8 look good initially, then the problem is 
something other than the PA transistors.  You will have to do Transmit 
Signal Tracing as shown in Appendix E of the K2 manual to determine the 
failing stage.  You will need the RF Probe or a 'scope with a 10X probe 
to do the signal tracing.

Re: [Elecraft] Roofing Filters

I don't have a K3, or K3S... but if I did, I'd order from Elecraft.  After all, 
if it were not for Elecraft, Inrad would not be making them.


Paying a bit extra to Elecraft is a way to say "thank you" for their wonderful 
products, and their outstanding customer service.

INRAD makes Elecraft's filters as I understand it...

I'll be getting mine from Elecraft directly.

Wandering the web I notice that INRAD are offering K3 Roofers somewhat 
less than Elecraft prices.
