Re: [Elecraft] Christmas Wish

[Gary Smith]

Hi Bob,

It's the offset knob at the lower right 
corner, next to VFO B. I agree a dedicated 
mouse to the P3 to do this would be a 
great help.

I'm not interested in moving VFO B, the 
predominant time this becomes an interest 
to me is during a contest and it's VFO A 
with transmit that I am needing to move.

An aside, I love the receiver on this K3s, 
pure magic.

73,

Gary

[Elecraft] FS: lightly used K-Pod

[Jim Spears]

I have found that I do not get enough use out of my K-Pod to warrant keeping
it so I am offering it for sale.  My shack is non-smoking and no pets.  I am
asking $185 shipped in USA.  Outside USA at actual cost.

Re: [Elecraft] Small set up for KX2 digi

[Peter Wollan]

Looking at the WSJT web site, they have packages for Mac and for an
assortment of linuxes, but not for iOS.  Compiling the source code for iOS
is possible, in principle, but iOS makes it hard.

One of the smaller Mac laptops, particularly a refurb, might be a
reasonable choice.

Re: [Elecraft] Small set up for KX2 digi

[Jim Miller]

And to do so the code needs to be built for the specific ISA including
linkage to the needed libraries.

Some have done it and you could ask for references on the WSJT reflector
for experiences.

Negative.  It not only runs on other OSs, inlcuding Linux and MacOS, it
also runs on other ISAs such as ARM.

Re: [Elecraft] Small set up for KX2 digi

I've been assembling and testing an ulralight portable FT8 setup for use
with my KX2, although it's based on an 8-inch Windows 10 tablet.  It uses
the *Syba SD-AUD20101* USB soundcard.  It works very well.  I've posted

[Elecraft] P3 and Smart TV

[N5AG]

Before I jump off the deep end, after the SVGA board is installed in the P3,
will the board support a Smart TV that has a 42" display. Also, the TV has
HDMI inputs. What specific adapters do I need to hook the two together
assuming the combination will work?

Re: [Elecraft] 48 volt PS

[Dave B via Elecraft]

Ted.

Best to box the PSU and silence the fan with sound deadening material
without affecting airflow.  In effect, creating a "silencer" for the air
inlet, and maybe outlet.

For that sort of power level 500W and above, and the small size of those
PSU's, the cooling is critical for a long life.  So, the gutsy but noisy
fan is there for a reason.   Replace it with a quieter one if you must,
but don't compromise the airflow.

As to RFI.  All SMPS's create it, some more than others, by design.  It
can be filtered of course, but to do that properly will also cost a fair
bit.

Voltage divider?  Just use a dedicated 12 (13.8V) PSU for the K3.  You
then have redundancy for when the 48V supply quits at some point.   If
you must, one of the common "Telecom" DC/DC converters, (48 to 15V, and
a linear post reg) to get your K3 supply.

But, make sure you know which side of any such DC/DC converter is
common, if not isolated.  You may be (unpleasantly) surprised!

Remember the KISS principle.

73  Dave G0WBX.

Hi Bill
There is no mic, just power, dummy load and blank 3.5 mm plug into the 
key jack, as suggested by Don.

VOX was off, but just turned it on and off, no VOX on the display.

Now, when I turn on the KX3, ,I get d=001 ERR KEY. Pressing disp a few 
times clears the d=001. As soon as I long press MENU, I get a string 
of dots.

Ken,
That message says the key or PTT jack is active, and the KX3 
'thinks' the dot contact is closed.
Do you have a microphone plugged in?  If the PTT button is stuck, 
it will cause that error.
If that is not the problem, do you have a stereo 3.5mm plug with 
nothing connected to it?  Plug it into the KEY jack and see if the 
problem stops.
Check the front key jack (where the KXPD3 plugs in).  Is there 
anything shorting the jack (header).
If none of that helps, contact Elecraft support 
kx3supp...@elecraft.com

Hi guys. Well the move to FL went okay, but it looks like the KX3 
does

not like the sunshine state.
I was setting up for the 10 meter contest, and the KX3 was acting
'funny'. When I turned it on, the display showed ERR KEY, with no 
key
plugged in. Tried EE INIT and reloading the configuration and 
firmware,

no change.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 drift

[Don Wilhelm]

Vic,

Remember that the P3 IF is tunable from 455kHz to 21MHz.
That means you can tune the P3 to the RWM signal.  You will not hear 
anything, but you should see the signal on the display and can see how 
much it moves.

I think that if it were the K3, then I would hear a change in the pitch 
of a signal over the first few minutes, and I haven't noticed that.
I think I'm going to do a more careful test: tune to RWM (the Russian 
version of WWV, which is good and loud here) and see what the change is 
on the K3 and the P3 in the first 15 minutes from a cold start.
