[Elecraft] Visit to Elecraft HQ worthwhile?
I apologize in advance for the length of this post. I had been an SSB operator exclusively since I became a ham in 1982. I went QRT for 7 years, because SSB grew stale for me. A little over 3 years ago I decided to dust off my incredibly rusty/nonexistent CW skills and bought a preowned K2. I had never heard of Elecraft before I reconnected with my CW friends who all had Elecraft rigs. Now I own a KX2 for portable use, KX3, PX3, and KXPA100 for my base station. At 72 years old I decided to treat myself to my first world-class rig by becoming a member of the first shipment group for the K4. The reason I give this background is because my 4 year journey to become a dedicated cw rag chewer, comfortable at 20-30 wpm came about in part because of my love of operating my Elecraft rigs. My renewed love of ham radio and CW is intertwined with Elecraft and with what Wayne and Eric have created. I will be driving from OR to So. Cal. in March on Hwy. 1. I see it runs within a stone’s throw of Elecraft’s HQ in Watsonville. For those of you who have been there before, is it a worthwhile stop? I don’t expect to see Eric or Wayne there if I stop, but at a minimum I would like to thank their fine staff for creating what has become an integral part of renewing my love of our great hobby. 73, Terry, N7TB __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Re: [Elecraft] K-POD working intermitterly
John, Do you tend to move the K-Pod frequently? If so, that could be a reason for cable or connector failure. Try holding the cable an inch or so from the connector (do that at each end). Move the cable back and forth a bit - see if that induces the fail/no-fail situation. If so, a cable replacement is in order. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/13/2020 5:00 PM, John Altman wrote: My K-Pod has stopped working ... it works (macros are functional) for a few minutes after K3S turned on and then power light is out and button functions do not work!

[Elecraft] OT: For Sale: Older iPAD (Still working OK)
I have an older (I believe 4th generation - first one with the "Retina" display) iPAD available if anyone is interested. (My wife bought me a new Gen 7 version.) It has 16 gigs of memory which is a little small by today's standards but it you don't put too many apps on it, it will work just fine. It still holds a charge and will come with the charger and a new, much longer, "Lightning" cord. The only problem with it is the iPAD's "Lightning" cord input jack is a little worn and you sometimes have to make sure that good contact is made when plugging it in to recharge. There are no cracks in the screen or case and it comes with a leather protective cover that's still serviceable though it has seen better days. I've wiped all personal and app data from it and it comes up wanting a new owner to take it over. Original cost, some 7 or 8 years ago was just over $500. I'd like to get $90 out of it (via PayPal only, no checks or money orders) and that will include shipping to anywhere in the US. Please contact me off list if interested (w0eb at cox.net) to keep the clutter down on the reflector.

There is some bad advice in the setup instructions for WSJT-X to set the RX audio drive to the computer at 30 dB indicated on the green level bar at the bottom right of the display. This WILL cause weak signals to be lost to the decoder in the presence of a very strong one. I've learned to set that audio drive level so that, with RX signals present, that green bar is around 70 dB but never turns red (a bit over 80 dB). For those reading the mail -- the logic is simple. The A/D converter has a dynamic range of about 90 dB. The green bar shows where the top of that 90 dB is set. Let's say a very strong signal, 50 dB over S9, takes over the AGC and hits the computer at 40 dB. Another signal in the waterfall would have to be S9 +10 dB to be decoded -- any weaker signal falls below the range of the A/D! But if I set the green bar to 75 dB, an S9 signal would be 25 dB above the bottom of the decoder. Each S-unit is 5 or 6 dB (depending on each mfr's definition of an S-unit); if 5 dB, S8 would be 20 dB above the bottom, S7 15 dB, S6 10 dB, S5 5 dB. Now, a signal between S4 and S5 can be decoded. Another point. The appearance of the spectrum display can be deceiving, making signals appear wider than they are. WSJT-X can decode signals that appear to be covered by strong adjacent signals. The apparent covering is an artifact of how the waterfall is able to display amplitude of the received signal.

Re: [Elecraft] K3s throwing a "HIGH CURR" error after installing K144XV and Reference Phase Lock Option
Probably just need current firmware. A fully loaded K3 is right on the fringe of triggering the OLD Firmware limit of 2 amps. New FW raises the limit if the HI CUR message. If you are at current 5.67 FW, then check the actual current being drawn, with the internal meter, or a good external one. You could have an audio chip (U1 on DSP board) going bad and starting to draw too much current (if so, catch it before it goes worse and melts the board). If you have a Temp gun or FLIR you could check the temp of that chip, take the cover off, and it is at the top front of the DSP board.

[Elecraft] PX3 for locating ft8 interference?
I've been using a kx3 to play with ft8. Finding intermittent severe QRM is rendering it deaf to due desense. (Signals that are coming in at -5 disappear from the waterfall when the source fires.) The waterfall in WSJT-X is only really useful for a few kHz of view, and I suspect that if the interference is notchable, it is outside that passband. Would the PX3 still give a full 200kHz of view to help with (maybe) adding a notch useful for being able to then hear ft8? I do have RTL-SDR, and Kerberos SDR, but haven't set them up for fear of blowing out the front end when transmitting, haven't found an equivalent to the MFJ autosensing TR switch that is solid state and can withstand 100w of transmit.
