Re: [Elecraft] K3: Odd ALC behavior

2017-08-03 Thread Dave Cole

Thanks to all for the sheer number and breadth of answers...  Rather 
than answer each one, and create a huge number of posts, I will try and 
answer all here...


I have done all the steps outlined i the posts here before, and have 
tried them again today.


Output from the computer is sitting dead center, line in was sitting at 
27, and the power slider on WSJT-X is sitting at 4/5th full.


I took a different sound card program, (MixW in RTTY), and I got the 
same behavior at 5 bars, the meter shows 5 bars, or no bars going 
between those conditions about once or twice a second randomly.


If I increase ANY of the audio controls it drops out of that mode, and 
acts just as Elecraft say to set things, just one bar higher, i.e. sits 
at 5 bars, and the 6th flashes...


No combination I can create of the input, or output controls will stop this.

I also tried adjusting the power controls set a 1 watt, and at 50 watts. 
 The power control makes zero difference in how it behaves.  In fact if 
I am in TEST TRANSMIT mode the problem shows...


Listening to the computer output via MON-- sounds perfect...

I may next get the scope out again, and start looking at things again... 
 I doubt it is the sound card changing levels because the issue goes 
away if I turn up LINE IN on the K3...


I am still at a loss as to what is causing this issue.  I am pretty sure 
it is an artifact of something happening in the K3, but for the life of 
me I can't figure it out.


73s and thanks,
Dave

Hi,

I’ve seen the same behavior when running digital modes on my KX3. It seems like 
maybe it does that (dropping to zero) when overdriven? Just a guess.

Better yet, just turn on the MON function on the radio and listen to the 
tones.  They must be perfectly clear and clean.And yes, I've found 
that over driving the sound card will do really funny things to the ALC 
and its display.Start low and work your way up.   Remember there are 
3 places that likely need adjusting, not just one.

Have you tried to hook-up a small speaker to the sound card output and

do you hear drop-outs interspersed throughout the transmit period?

Re: [Elecraft] K3: Odd ALC behavior

2017-08-03 Thread Bob McGraw K4TAX


In RTTY are you using FSK or AFSK?

I'm surprised that you find the SPEAKER level at 100% as necessary.   Of 
course different sound card in computers behave differently.  Also 
the Line In at 4 sounds awfully low.   I'd think more toward mid way is 
better with better resolution in regard to level changes.Perhaps 
down with the SPEAKER level and up with the Line In level on the K3.


All of this is not just setting a matter of levels.it is a 
balancing act where they all must be in the correct range to finesse 
performance.

Re: [Elecraft] K3: Odd ALC behavior

2017-08-03 Thread Don Wilhelm


Steve,

Those settings are too extreme - they need to be more mid-range.
Set the K3 LINE IN gain to something mid-range (about 30), then reduce 
the soundcard and WSJT-X settings to about 50% and give it a try.
Adjust the computer soundcard and WSJT-X settings to produce 4 bars on 
the ALC meter, then fine-tune the adjustment with the K3 LINE IN gain.


If you use other digital modes in addition to WSJT-X, pick one without 
the application slider to adjust the soundcard only for the 4 bars with 
the 5th flickering.
If you do that, then go back to WSJT-X and adjust its slider to give you 
the 4 bars with the 5th bar flickering.

Remember the soundcard and WSJT-X settings for the next time.

The problem is that WSJT-X tries to make it "easy" for most transceivers 
which will use the audio level to control the power output.
That does not work well with Elecraft transceivers which will try 
continuously to adjust the drive level to produce the power output set 
by the POWER knob.  The result with insufficient audio is "Power hunting".
With Elecraft gear, set the audio level correctly - leave it there - 
and adjust the desired power with the POWER knob.  In other words, 
ignore the internet and often the application software instructions 
which typically say to set the power to the maximum and adjust the power 
with the audio level.  That just does not work with Elecraft gear which 
uses a different (and better) power control system.


That applies to all soundcard data modes, and is not unique to WSJT-X.

Re: [Elecraft] K3: Odd ALC behavior

2017-08-03 Thread Bob McGraw K4TAX

There's actually 3 places in the system where the audio level for 
transmit must be adjusted correctly.


(a)  SPEAKER  -  Just left click on the speaker ICON and set the level 
for about 35%.   Or right click on the speaker ICON, then select 
Playback devices.   Click on the one being used, normally Speakers USB 
Audio CODEC, select this and then select Properties and then Levels.  
You can adjust the level from here.  Again about -18 dB although your 
level may vary.


(b)  The PWR slider on WSJT-X  --  I find this to run about 50% to 75% 
however {see C below}


(c) The Line Gain in the K3S.   I use a value of 30.

All three of the above will affect the ALC number of bars.  If any of 
the values are at either the extreme minimum or extreme maximum values, 
you'll likely have somewhat a challenge in getting the levels correct 
and stable.


Also be advised if you should use the computer of other reasons which 
require support of the audio system, you may find that the levels have 
changed.   No fault of the radio, no fault of the WSJT-X application but 
just the way Windows works.  Just remember the approximate values and 
where to change and set them.

the first issue I can't seem to figure out. Apparently I did something to
cause the Delta-f led to remain on. I am not in Split mode and there is no
rit-xit in effect. What else causes it to stay illuminated?
This is my first elecraft radio... and I am back on the air after many

2017-08-03 Thread Don Wilhelm


Dave,

Set the K3 LINE IN gain for a midrange value.  It has more resolution 
there than at either a high or a low setting.
Then adjust the soundcard to obtain about 4 bars on the ALC meter and 
"fine tune" that level with the LINE IN gain to get the 5th bar to flicker.
Note that this is the NO ALC point for the K3 - ALC action does not 
start until the 5th bar.  The first 4 bars are there to help you adjust 
the audio.


Too much audio from the sondcard can cause at least part of what you are 
describing.  Are you using the 'speaker' output instead of LINE OUT on 
the soundcard.  If speaker is your only choice see if you can set it for 
headphones or amplified speakers.


I had a similar problem at Field Day this year - we were going to use 
the logging computer for digital modes, but could not get the soundcard 
in that computer to work - we pressed my laptop into service, but it has 
no line in, and I did not bring an external soundcard along - had to use 
one that another person had.
The output on that soundcard was so high, I had trouble adjusting 
levels.  We finally put an attenuator in the soundcard output to tame 
things.  It was still too much audio, but we managed with 4 bars of ALC, 
but if we tried to get the 5th bar to flicker, it would light all the 
way and sometimes the 6th bar would also light up.

Welcome to the club. I don't know what it is, but it is.

See my post "Soundcard levels" from July 16.

Maybe with your complaint there will be a response.

BTW, TX Test doesn't guarantee zero output.  I have another thread about that.

That is to say, the ALC just goes to zero, no visible ALC, and then teh ALC 
returns to 4 or 5 bars.  This happens across a one or two second time span.


The ALC is at zero more than it is above zero most of the time. If I run it to 
five bars, with the fifth fluctuating, all is well, there seems to be some 
sort of threshold at the 5th bar of ALC...


I have tried a number of things to try and triage this...  For instance:

1.  Running in "Transmit Test" mode to eliminate RF feedback.
2.  Upping the audio level feeding the K3.
3.  Reducing the audio level feeding the K3.
4.  Upping the line in on the K3 setup.
5.  Reducing the Line in on the K3 setup.
6.  Adjustment of the WSJT-X output level control, under conditions 2 through 
5 above.


In all cases the above described behavior of the ALC dropping to zero does not 
change in any way if I am at 5 or less bars.  That is to say, if I take the 
ALC level to 4 bars, it starts dropping to zero more than not...


Does anyone have any suggestions as to what this might be?

A a bit of history-- the computer and sound card were used on an Icom 756

zero to too much on the Icom, with no dropouts...

Probably a good move. A good test for the audio interface is that if you 
regularly see JT65 decodes with indicated levels below -25 dB and some 
around -29, the interface is good enough.

[Elecraft] K3: Odd ALC behavior

2017-08-03 Thread Dave Cole


Hi,

I have an issue in  regards to obtaining 4 bars, and getting the 5th bar 
of ALC to fluctuate while transmitting JT65.


I have plenty of audio, and can drive the ALC to 6 or more bars if I 
turn things up.  However, as I get to 4 bars with the 5th flashing a 
bit, the ALC starts to fluctuate between nothing and 4 or 5 bars...


That is to say, the ALC just goes to zero, no visible ALC, and then teh 
ALC returns to 4 or 5 bars.  This happens across a one or two second 
time span.


The ALC is at zero more than it is above zero most of the time.  If I 
run it to five bars, with the fifth fluctuating, all is well, there 
seems to be some sort of threshold at the 5th bar of ALC...


I have tried a number of things to try and triage this...  For instance:

1.  Running in "Transmit Test" mode to eliminate RF feedback.
2.  Upping the audio level feeding the K3.
3.  Reducing the audio level feeding the K3.
4.  Upping the line in on the K3 setup.
5.  Reducing the Line in on the K3 setup.
6.  Adjustment of the WSJT-X output level control, under conditions 2

Sort of like NIST saying WWV is on exactly 10 MHz.  It is, because they say so.

I live a few hundred meters from a national park and receive mail sometimes 
addressed to "Park Neighbor."  I have dealt with park rangers and administrators

actually want to use the Park Service's parks.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3S] WSJT-K 1.80rc 6m DATA A on LSB

2017-08-03 Thread Wes Stewart

I have one of each, a K3S with USB and a K3 without.  When I was having FT8 
problems (not sure they're over) I set up both radios and "worked myself".  The 
K3 was setup exactly as Jim describes, down to the same sound card, and the K3s 
used the internal USB.  It's much easier to set proper TX audio levels with the 
external card, but that's a continuing gripe, not to be expanded on here.


I too use VOX but let the program set Split and Mode.  (There is a timing issue 
doing this; something I mentioned in another thread.)  So after seeing that 
someone else claimed to be using PTT via USB instead of VOX I attempted to use 
it.  I wound up getting hamlib errors and since I'm not so invested in this mode 
anyway, went back to VOX, which is what I use for RTTY and PSK anyway.

FWIW, I and many others have been using the posted compiled version of

WSJT-X 1.8-rc1 from the official WSJT-X website with a K3, and without
problems. I'm not using a lot of "bells and whistles" -- I'm using a
vintage K3 with an outboard USB to serial converter from computer to
rig, a Tascam US100 USB audio interface for the computer, and VOX with
the K3 in DATA A mode. I'm doing almost no rig control -- all the USB to
serial interface is doing is read and control frequency.  On the 
tab of   select the K3 under Rig, set the serial port that the
computer has assigned to your USB to serial converter, set PTT method to
VOX, set Mode to None, and set Split Operation to None.

The Tascam US100 is simply a very good vintage USB to analog stereo
audio I/O designed for home semi-pro recording studios. There's lots of
comparable stuff that works. It ONLY handles audio, no control functions.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: About Grid Squares

2017-08-03 Thread w7aqk


Jim and All,

Back in the late 50's, a few of us living in Albuquerque drove up to the 4 
corners monument northwest of Farmington, NM.  It's the only place in the 
U.S. where four states come to one common point.  We set our antenna right 
on top of the monument, so we were in 4 states at the same time--NM, AZ, UT, 
and CO, and 3 call areas--5, 7, and 0!


Well, that's what we thought we were doing!  Not long ago I read a piece 
that said the monument may be in the wrong place!!!  Apparently it was 
miscalculated by some amount, but not nearly as much as originally claimed. 
Also, once the marker was placed, and accepted by relevant parties as being 
official, it was official, regardless of any computational error. 
Therefore, I guess we were O.K.  Back then the marker wasn't much to look 
at--just a small pedestal.  Now I think it is a bit more elaborate.  I also 
think the Park Service frowns on doing what we did!!  Hi.


Dave W7AQK


I know of one ham who has a tower in one grid square and another tower in a 
different grid square, both in his back yard.


Be careful out there!

Re: [Elecraft] Replacement ear pads for headset

2017-08-03 Thread Dave Hachadorian

When I saw the email thread about replacement ear pads for the Yamaha CM-500 
headset, I decided to see if they were available for my Koss SB45 Headset.  
Here is the reply from Koss:
---
Thank you for contacting Koss Stereophone!

Yes, replacement ear cushions are available for your SB45 headphones.  They are 
$5 per pair which also includes shipping to US and Canadian addresses.  If you 
would like to order the ear cushions, please contact us at 1-800-872-5677 x771. 
 We are available Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 4:30pm central time. 

Koss Customer Service
---

I have both the CM-500 and SB45, but I like the SB45 better because it has a 
padded headband, which is easier on my bald head than the Yamaha coarse 
webbing.  Both headsets work great with the K3 on TX and RX, and are 
comfortable for long-term contest use. The SB45 is a lot cheaper too:

ECJ-2FF1A106ZDigikeyPCC2233TR-NDPCC2233CT-ND

This is Y5V dielectric.

It looks easy to get a 16V part in 0805 (and X5R at that).

I've bodged in a 10u 10V Y5V 1206 for the time being.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S: LCD backlight is on, but no segments are lit

2017-08-03 Thread Charlie T, K3ICH

One thing (among MANY) that impresses me about Elecraft's service is that
they'll trust an owner to change a cap without requiring a lengthy and
expensive return process.
Not saying this is always the case, since some problems DO require a return.
That said, it's a LOT cheaper to send a K3 in than a 70+ pound "monster"
radio.

Oh, and pass me some more of that Kool-Aid too.

Great news! I'm glad Gary was able to nail it for you. 

I apologize for missing your note about already talking to Tech support.  
Sometimes email
overload takes its toll on this end too! I personally receive and respond to 
daily emails many times the volume seen on this list and as a result read too 
fast from time to time. 

I'm also learning that typing replies to list postings on my phone with my 
reading glasses off is a great way to create interesting typos..

Re: [Elecraft] PX3 Signal While Transmitting

2017-08-03 Thread David Anderson via Elecraft

Try the internal keyer, just as a test, I think I recall that then the PX3 may 
freeze totally during semi break in keying. (I never used full break in because 
I was using transverters with sequenced relays).

I recall being confused as to what was different one day when I saw what you 
are seeing and it was because I had changed from external to internal keyer or 
vice versa.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3S] WSJT-K 1.80rc 6m DATA A on LSB

2017-08-03 Thread Bayard Coolidge, N1HO via Elecraft

You may want to consider posting a message in the WSJT Yahoo! Groupbecause 
there have been a number of issues with WSJT-X 1.8-rc1 andthe Hamlib library 
which the development group has been plowing through.I was able to get a 
special build to test, which avoids the crash that I encounteredwhen first 
starting it on my K3, but I gather that they are seeing a lot of othersmall 
problems, so I suspect they'd like to swat your bug while they're at it.
I hadn't noticed that particular problem with my station, but I'll try to take 
a look for it,perhaps later this afternoon. That's not to say that perhaps 
there's a parameteron your rig (or a setting in your WSJT-X Configuration) that 
needs to be changed, however.

I'm running WSJT-X on FT8/JT65 just as of yesterday. Oddly, it seems to set
6M on DATA A in LSB. How might I fix that back to USB?

I don't have my PX3 beside me now, but I recall that the PX3 acts differently 
between using an external keyer and the internal keyer of the KX3, one freezes 
the PX3 all the time you are transmitting in semi break in, the other doesn't. 

The other thing that sometimes causes spurious signals to appear on the PX3 is 
if the PX3 NB level is too high (not the KX3 NB level).
