Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

Just this afternoon I looked at some of those sizable spots.  I stopped by the 
Telescope store (Cloud Break Optics) in Ballard (Seattle) to look at 
telescopes.  They had one big 12 inch reflector telescope set up in the parking 
lot looking at the sun (with a solar filter of course). I got a chance to look 
through it and see one group of sun spots that could easily be counted and you 
could even see the different shapes of each of the spots.

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

2017-09-02 Thread kev...@coho.net 

Good evening,

   The sun has some sizeable spots.  The solar wind is causing strong 
auroras. Twenty meters should be open and noisy.  After a week of clear 
skies the smoke is back.  During the middle of the day the sky is an odd 
orange color.  The fir trees which are normally green have a gray cast 
to them.  The birds seem to be effected.  The normally ravenous Gray 
Jays just looked at the food I offered them.  Until the Steller's Jay 
swooped in; then they mobbed him.


Please join us tomorrow on:
   14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday)
    7045 kHz at z Monday (5 PM PDT Sunday)

    73,
    Kevin. KD5ONS

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500/KAT500 & K3S 2nd Subreceiver Diversity

2017-09-02 Thread Nr4c 
Well think about it. The KPA500 has one cable to the radio. So it can't very 
well do things with two antennas like the radio does. Yes you can put your 
antennas on separate ports on the KAT500 (and a port left over) but only one 
amp to radio link is the problem.

Use a TRS plug and use the Shield and either Tip or Ring. Set Key port to 
Handkey.  I'm pretty sure the KX3 manual had a diagram and suspect the KX2 dies 
as well. 

DO NOT USE A MONO PLUG!

I thought that might be the case. I did see an old thread where an option was
mentioned by Wayne to do that, but perhaps that never transpired. Thank you

[Elecraft] Humming KPA500

2017-09-02 Thread Dauer, Edward 
KPA500 started a new routine today after several years of perfect operation.  
It emits an audible hum at a frequency of 60 Hz with a rise and fall time of 3 
to 4 seconds.  It’s just loud enough to be annoying.  It continues whether the 
front panel power switch is on or off.  It ceases only when the rear panel 
power switch is off.  Neither the temperature of the amp nor the duty cycle 
have any no bearing on it, as the noise persists even when the amp comes on 
from dead cold.  Anyone heard this in a KPA500, or have any ideas about it?  Is 
something expensive about to happen?

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500/KAT500 & K3S 2nd Subreceiver Diversity

2017-09-02 Thread Richard Ferch 
If all of your antennas are connected via the KAT500, then no, you cannot
do diversity receive that way, because there is only a single RF connection
between the K3S and the KAT500. You need to have a separate (receive only)
antenna connected directly to the subreceiver's auxiliary antenna input,
which I believe in your case is the K3S's ANT2 jack (depends on how you
have chosen to configure the subRX's aux RF input).

Re: [Elecraft] Bluetooth audio adapter for K3

2017-09-02 Thread Clay Autery 
No definitive answer here for this one, but I have seen that the delays
CAN be largely minimized under the latest BT4(+) specs  down to 20ms
or so theoretically(?)  Some of the older standards are 200ms+... 
1/5 of a second could definitely be noticeable.

I suspect it depends largely on quality of implementation in
hardware/firmware/software... just like anything else.

Disappointed that my admittedly limited searching thusfar has not
revealed a single-box solution for what I envision is the "the"
solution  ONE box with a breakout cable allowing one to plug the BT
xceiver into the back of a K3s at BOTH the headphone and mic jacks and
accommodate a wireless BT headset and/or earbuds+mic like the Jaybird
Bluebuds or X2 or X3 updates.  I LOVE my Jaybirds and they'd be an
excellent field option...  Heck, I'd use them for headphones here in the
shack even if I didn't need the additional isolation of over-the-ear cups.

I'd use them for SSB/FM...  Not sure about CW I'm just beginning to
learn code BUT the thought of using my Jaybirds with a KX2 in a
mountain biking or backpacking setting  interests me.
