Re: [Elecraft] SSB Net on 20 and 40 meters

2020-02-24 Thread kevinr

Howdy Ed,

   Rick, KL7CW was my first check in on the 40 meter net yesterday.  I 
live well south of Seattle.  At z the band was open to AK, ND, TX, 
NM, ID, WA, and CA.  20 m at 2200z was broken.  Lots of noise with not 
many signals.  I think 40 meters will work well until the time change.  
I did hear a few folks talking about 160 meters opening before sunset so 
the bands are not what one would think.


   GL,

  Kevin.  KD5ONS

Kevin's CW Net announcement was only 24-hours late by the time I read it.

Not to the topic 80 & 40m SSB Nets:

I tuned in 14.303.5 Sunday at 1800 utc (9am AKST) and band was dead - 
nada - no WWV on 15-MHz; not even digital stuff on 14.070. So 
obviously did not hear the 20m net.  Made me wonder if triband yagi 
was broke?


Local Alaskan hams have been saying 80m is good at mid-day and not at 
night!  Very different than what I used to know.  Used to be 40m 
daytime/80m nighttime prop.


So maybe 40m might have some propagation > 800 miles??? Seattle is 
only 1400 miles away.


I only have a inverted-V and 100w for 40m but may listen March 1st.

Re: [Elecraft] kx3/wsjtx, multiple notches?

Instead of a notch, I’d try low-cut and high-cut to narrow in on the signal.


Note that K1JT strongly advises to set wide bandwidth and let WSJT-X do 
the filtering in the digital domain. All it takes to make that work is 
to use the audio drive the way I've described.


Think about it this way. The A/D in the sound card is good for about 90 
dB of dynamic range. The green bar tells us how far the signal level is 
from the BOTTOM of that range. Let's say that a strong signal is 50 dB 
over S9, and it takes over the AGC in your KX3. If the audio drive TO 
the computer sets the green bar to 30 dB, it would take a 20 dB over S9 
signal to be within range of the A/D.


But if we set the green bar to 80 dB, S9 is still 30 dB above the bottom 
of the A/D, and at 6 dB per S-unit, we can decode signals down to S4 (or 
to S4 if you call an S-unit 5 dB).

I've got big antennas and am surrounded by big signals when I work FT8, 
but I get by just fine.  Those strong signals are causing AGC in the rig 
to reduce RF gain. What we need to do is drive the computer audio system 
harder from the radio so that weaker signals are still within range of 
the A/D converter in the computer's sound card. The fundamental settings:


1) Full RX bandwidth, let WSJT-X separate the signsls
2) Reduce RF gain (or use ATTEN) to prevent overload
3) Set audio level feeding the computer so that, when those strong 
signals are present, the green bar on the left reads about 75-80 dB but 
doesn't turn red (which indicates digital clip).


Yes, I know that #3 is not what the instructions say. But I have a LOT 
of weak signal QSOs on 160M and 6M because set up that way.

[Elecraft] kx3/wsjtx, multiple notches?

2020-02-24 Thread Tox
Hello,

Between the kxpa100 and getting a fan dipole just above roofline, I'm
finally able to make ft8 contacts fairly consistently in North America
when my local broadband noise source isn't operating.

There are times though when one of a couple adjacent stations a mile
or two from me either swing their beam over my dipole, or crank the
knob, and desense my kx3 pretty solidly.

I'm slowly learning how to tune the skirts and wield the notch, so can
sometimes work the one edge of the ft8 range, but there are also times
both of them are active at the same time, and trying to grab a 400kc
slice in between them to work hasn't panned out so far.

Is there a way, either in-radio, or with wsjtx, to do *two*
controllable notch filters, so the world doesn't disappear into the
shadow of +18s?

Thanks,

Scott

[Elecraft] Excel Test

2020-02-24 Thread K8TE
This is a test to determine if pasting from Excel will provide a readable
format.  I created this message using the "Post New Message" capability at
the Elecraft Nabble page.  I copied from an Excel worksheet I created this
morning by copying and pasting from an RBN result.  Per Nabble's
instructions, I checked the "Message is in HTML Format" box.  If it works,
this could be useful for the proposed Elecraft Net logged in Excel, or
perhaps other programs.73, Bill, K8TEde dx  freqcq/dx   snr speed

Re: [Elecraft] NR

2020-02-24 Thread Lyle Johnson
Vic,

The NR algorithm always works better with a wider bandwidth.  It is simply 
building a  not-too-narrow filter around what it perceives to be the signal.  

Glad you found it helpful!

73,

Re: [Elecraft] K3 always 100 W

2020-02-24 Thread Keith Trinity WE6R

D36 & 37 on the RF board are;
Elecraft # E560048;
BAS70INCT Diode, 70V, SOT23DigikeyBAS70INTR-ND

Thank you very much Keith and Don. Until today I haven´t had time to review
the possible failures.
I have checked and the D37 is failing so I am going to replace both D36 and
D37, what kind of diodes should I buy to replace them?
I have also checked the rest of possible and failures and everything seems
ok.

After about 100k QSO this is second fault, firts changed the pin in the back
panel about the 12 V error problem.

K3, great rig.

Asunto: Re: [Elecraft] K3 always 100 W

It could be D36 & 37 on the RF board. Earlier ones (1st few thousand)
had weak components. But any of them can fail and usually there is
runaway power out.
If that is not it, look for burned components under the KANT3 board
around T4 or on the underside near D36 & 37 look for burnt traces.
If it is older than about #5500, it could be front panel tin pin
oxidation, replaced them with gold.
