[Elecraft] K3 No power out

2018-08-14 Thread Don Roberts via Elecraft
Yes I can set it at 35 watts which is what I usually use to drive the KPA 500, 
and speak in the mic for ssb and get no power out. In cw at the same 35 watts, 
when I send code either straight key or padfle. 0 watts out. Same results if I 
attempt to run bearfoot at 100 watts or 5 watts, I get no power out. Receive is 
working fine, the P3 is working normal, and the KPA 500 and KAT 500 track bands 
as I change them.
I will try again tomorrow after a night of sleep. If still no go, will phone 
home to Elecraft

Re: [Elecraft] K3 No power out

2018-08-14 Thread Mike Flowers
Elecraft service set my Tune Pwr to 5.1 watts to prevent ‘inadvertent running 
of TX gain calibration’. 

Have you tried running the TX gain calibration with the K3 Utility?

"No power to tune anything." Does this mean you've only tried to tune, 
and haven't tried actually transmitting cw or phone? If so, and I don't 
know how it would have changed, have you checked the Menu-Config-TUN PWR 
to see what it is set to? If it is set to .1 it will show 0.0

Re: [Elecraft] KPA 1500 and ICom 7560 Pro2 control

2018-08-14 Thread Dick Dievendorff
Would a CI-V cable work for you?  I personally tested IC7600 and 7300 and I’ve 
been told that 7610 also works. The amp looks for the TX frequency message from 
the exciter. I’m not sure whether a 765 pro 2 sends that. If it doesn’t, I can 
teach KPA1500 firmware to look for the frequency message the 765 sends as you 
move the VFO, if I can figure out what that is. We want the TX VFO freq to deal 
with split and XIT. I’m away from my notes, but I think the CI-V message might 
be 1C with a sub code 3 for tx freq. 

If you connect the radio to amp via CI-V, check the XCVR FREQ status page, that 
comes from the CI-V message. Also choose Icom on the RADIO TYPE menu. There’s 
is a speed to match up and the radio needs to know to send TX freq messages on 
QSY, that’s called transceive in some icom documents.

[Elecraft] K3S settings for Heil HM-10 XD microphone

2018-08-14 Thread Thomas Donohue
I recently purchased subject mic and will be connecting it to the K3S shortly. 
Before I do that, I was wondering what mic settings to use? I currently have a 
Heil PR-10 mic and am using the MIC FP HI menu setting and a mic gain of 20; 
the PR-10 works fine, but I wanted to get a mic that I could switch back and 
forth from the wide HC-5X cartridge to the narrow or DX HC-4X cartridge, thus 
the HM-10 XD. I have purchased the XLR 4 pin CC-1, connecting cable to replace 
the XLR 3 pin cable that I use with the PR-10 for connection to the FP Mic 
connector. The PR-10 has a 600 ohm balance impedance while the HM-10 XD has a 
600 ohm impedance, unbalanced, I guess. To begin I intend to use the MIC FP HI 
menu setting. Does anyone see a problem with that or is there anyone using a 
HM-10 XD that can offer some suggested settings. Any response or info will be 
appreciated.

Re: [Elecraft] OT-Junk Mail & Spam Robo Calls

2018-08-14 Thread Bob McGraw K4TAX
My solution is very simple.    I ignore all calls unless they appear on 
my caller ID from my contact list.  Likewise on e-mail, my spam filter 
gets 99.9% of all of them and they end being sent to the junk folder.  
That folder gets emptied every 12 hrs.  The one or two that get through, 
also get manually added to the junk filter.    Thank you Thunderbird 
which is my e-mail application. Once the filter is set, they are then 
history forever.

I use commercial spam solutions for relief from internet email spammers. Lots 
of them out there. That's all well and good.  The REAL problem for me are robo 
calls to my home phones and cell phone.  I listed both phones on the State of 
Missouri and the Federal *No Call Lists*  years ago.  That worked ok for a 
while, then totally spiraled out of control.  Spammers don't pay any attention 
to the *List* and violations are not enforced.

I found a fix in an app called *NOMOROBO*  No More Robo (calls).  After you 
sign up for the service, their server spots the fingerprints of incoming spam 
telephone robo calls on your phone line.  My phone rings a partial ring (.5 
sec?) then the software at the server end sucks the call off my line and adds 
it to their national database blacklist.  The Caller Id is still displayed on 
my TV screen, but before I can get my butt out of my chair, the ring stops, 
telling me not to bother with the call, it's spam.

I can't remember how many years I've used NoMoRobo but I was an early adopter 
and it has been working beautifully for probably 10 years now.  The idea was 
hatched by a couple of guys during a contest to find a solution to annoying 
Robo Calls (necessary because your local telco doesn't want to help inhibit the 
use of their paid services).  You don't need to load your *white list* phone 
numbers.  There is a free version of NoMoRobo and a paid version.  So far, I 
have seen no need for the paid version.  In all this time I only had two 
callers get wrongly *captured* by the spam software and both were vendors I use 
who had recently changed their phone number.  Calls from my doctor's 
appointment office, Trash Hauler, etc come right through.

While not affiliated with the firm that offers this (I wish I were) I recommend 
looking it over and deciding for yourself if it suits your needs:

Hi Dave, + rest of list

I've not seen your "Elycraft", but we … both ElecraftCovers (Rose, N7HKW) and me  …  get 
lots of e-mail from people wanting to "fix" elecraft.com and bring us more business.  I 
expect Elecraft also gets these same offers.

Both of us, for several reasons, need to maintain an old-fashioned wired phone 
line.  We have had the same number for about fifty years and it's published and 
used from all over the world.

Here's what seems to (partially) work for us;  we have an answering machine in 
a speaker-phone that's audible throughout the house. In addition, our satellite 
TV provider is connected to the TV set … which is usually on (;-) … and the TV 
screen displays caller ID info.  Perhaps ten percent of the calls are legit.

Both of us have Verizon cell phones and get -many- calls from spoofed numbers … usually 
in our 406 area and often using a "local" number.  Rose gets many calls related 
to her Elecraft case and cover business that she -must- answer.  She's had three today … 
with two being spoofed.

We both use G-Mail as our e-mail provider and to G-mail's credit, we get very 
little SPAM.  We also use Norton ... wouldn't be without it. Our internet 
provider (Century Link) is via cable.

FWIW

73!

Re: [Elecraft] OT-Junk Mail & Spam Robo Calls

2018-08-14 Thread Terry Schieler
I use commercial spam solutions for relief from internet email spammers. Lots 
of them out there. That's all well and good.  The REAL problem for me are robo 
calls to my home phones and cell phone.  I listed both phones on the State of 
Missouri and the Federal *No Call Lists*  years ago.  That worked ok for a 
while, then totally spiraled out of control.  Spammers don't pay any attention 
to the *List* and violations are not enforced. 

I found a fix in an app called *NOMOROBO*  No More Robo (calls).  After you 
sign up for the service, their server spots the fingerprints of incoming spam 
telephone robo calls on your phone line.  My phone rings a partial ring (.5 
sec?) then the software at the server end sucks the call off my line and adds 
it to their national database blacklist.  The Caller Id is still displayed on 
my TV screen, but before I can get my butt out of my chair, the ring stops, 
telling me not to bother with the call, it's spam.  

I can't remember how many years I've used NoMoRobo but I was an early adopter 
and it has been working beautifully for probably 10 years now.  The idea was 
hatched by a couple of guys during a contest to find a solution to annoying 
Robo Calls (necessary because your local telco doesn't want to help inhibit the 
use of their paid services).  You don't need to load your *white list* phone 
numbers.  There is a free version of NoMoRobo and a paid version.  So far, I 
have seen no need for the paid version.  In all this time I only had two 
callers get wrongly *captured* by the spam software and both were vendors I use 
who had recently changed their phone number.  Calls from my doctor's 
appointment office, Trash Hauler, etc come right through.  

While not affiliated with the firm that offers this (I wish I were) I recommend 
looking it over and deciding for yourself if it suits your needs:

Hi Dave, + rest of list

I've not seen your "Elycraft", but we … both ElecraftCovers (Rose, N7HKW) and 
me  …  get lots of e-mail from people wanting to "fix" elecraft.com and bring 
us more business.  I expect Elecraft also gets these same offers.

Both of us, for several reasons, need to maintain an old-fashioned wired phone 
line.  We have had the same number for about fifty years and it's published and 
used from all over the world.

Here's what seems to (partially) work for us;  we have an answering machine in 
a speaker-phone that's audible throughout the house. In addition, our satellite 
TV provider is connected to the TV set … which is usually on (;-) … and the TV 
screen displays caller ID info.  Perhaps ten percent of the calls are legit.

Both of us have Verizon cell phones and get -many- calls from spoofed numbers … 
usually in our 406 area and often using a "local" number.  Rose gets many calls 
related to her Elecraft case and cover business that she -must- answer.  She's 
had three today … with two being spoofed.

We both use G-Mail as our e-mail provider and to G-mail's credit, we get very 
little SPAM.  We also use Norton ... wouldn't be without it. Our internet 
provider (Century Link) is via cable.

FWIW

73!

Re: [Elecraft] Summary: Genovation keypad & K3/K3S

2018-08-14 Thread Dave Cole (NK7Z)

Hello Stefan,
I remember running into some roadblock in doing this, but I don't 
remember what it was now...  I initially wanted to connect directly to 
the K3 as well.  I think it was if you had a P3 SVGA, it worked better. 
If you get things running on just the K3 send me the info, and I'll add 
it to the web page at:


https://www.nk7z.net/adding-external-keypad-k3/

as an addendum to the Genovation page, of course giving you credit for 
the work.


73s and thanks,

A pre-Genovation "button box" was hooked up to the K3’s RS232 port. It uses its internal memory to 
store the macros and not the available K3 macros. In order to be able to get the K3 to recognize and share 
several RS232 ports LP-BRIDGE is used to create several virtual serial ports. CAT on one of the virtual 
serial ports and the "button box" to another. One has to bridge the real "button box" to 
another of the LPBRIDGE created virtual ports, e.g. with a software called VSPE.

It will be up to experimentation if a Genovation keypad can be connected in a 
similar way. The difference is that the internal K3/K3S memories have to be 
used.

[Elecraft] P3 Firmware update fails

2018-08-14 Thread TL_Netvision
Hi all

I am trying to upgrade a P3 MCU 1.29 to 1.54 and\or 1.60  (No SVGA option
installed).

When I hit “send checked items to P3”  the relays click every 2 seconds and
I see 2 messages repeat forever:
1.  “Attempting to connect P3 on port COM1 at 38400 bit/s” in the P3’s
utility window,
2.  ”Checking for SVGA” on the P3’s screen. 

No uploading is performed & I can terminate the loop only with the  “cancel”
button.

Environment:
-P3 utility ver 1.16.3.1
-P3 is connected only to PS (13.8v external)  & PC (Genuine full RS-232
cable).
-All files are present in the “P3 firmware” folder (Windows 10 1803 build
17134).

Any ideas please?

Thanks in advance, 
Isaac, 4Z1TL
