Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Digest, Vol 180, Issue 4 K3S USB W7 audio
LIN OUT is already set at 1. The Microphone level set and extra attenuator steps in W7 are not active until you plug a microphone into the MIC jack and has no effect on the K3S internal sound card whuch shows up as its own COM device.

[Elecraft] Suggested enhancements for K3
Two suggestions which can probably be added in firmware for K3 and K3s: 1) Allow different audio levels for speaker and phones, such as an attenuation applicable to either. 2) Allow (but not require) the monitor level to be controlled along with the receiver levels. If either is already available for the K3, someone please let me know! 73 - George, W3HBM __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] Stupid question: key beep
If in CW mode the MON function determines the level of the beep. Not all switches generate a tone when pressed. See page 65 SW TONE for more details. If SW TONE is set to OFF there is no tone beep generated. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 4/4/2019 5:29 PM, John Simmons wrote: SW Tone is on, but there is no beep when the button is pushed.

Re: [Elecraft] MD2 microphone
Stephen, The pinout for the MD2 microphone is the same as the MH2 and MH4. Bias requirement is also the same - it needs a 5.6k resistor from the AF signal (pin 1) and either +5 or +8 volts. The pinout matches the mic jack wiring which is shown in the K3/K3S manual on page 13. Download the K3 manual if you don't have it. You may also find the microphone pinout at the G4WPW website which has been preserved at https://www.qsl.net/g4wpw/date.html#others. Hint: connect both pin 7 and pin 8 to the common ground. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/4/2019 4:11 PM, Stephen Prior wrote: I don't know whether anyone can help, but I am trying without any success to get the MD2 microphone working with a SunSdr2 transceiver, which is able to provide the necessary bias voltage I believe.

Re: [Elecraft] April 6th GPS Reset
As NW8L pointed out, there are simple updates to restore proper date displays in GPS receivers. An update should have a release date inside the build with the associated GPS week number when it was released. With a little coding, this will allow the receiver to display date properly for 1024 weeks following the release date. Another design peril is the Age of Data counters for almanac and ephemeris data which are 9 bits. A company from Illinois thought they could get by with an 8-bit byte, but in July 2004, a whole bunch of their mobile phones went screen of death at the transition from week 255 to week 256. Somebody commented that WAAS in HI was not as good in the ConUS. I wonder where this came from. I cannot imagine the FAA would put up with this unless it is just too easy to land a plane in HI. In 2017 the GPS guys at Los Angeles AFB were indicating 40 cm repeatability, around 1.3 nanoseconds without WAAS.

[Elecraft] KNB1 Installation Order & Diode
I've completed my K1 RF Board, 4 Band Filter Board, and Antenna Tuner Board, and I am now moving on to Transmitter alignment before installing the Antenna Tuner. I discovered the KNB1 Noise Blanker is still available and just received it. (Thanks, Elecraft!) 1) I'm assuming I should install the Antenna Tuner first, then install the KNB1 - is that correct? 2) As to replacing D2 (1N4148) WITH D2A (green LED) - what are the arguments for and against that? As I will be using the K1 in a variety of locations in the Field it will obviously be impractical to install the diode on site if I discover high noise level interference there. Why not just initially install the diode to raise the threshold in order to cover worst case scenarios? 73, Tom KQ7TJ -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
