Ron Bell Asked :

I made a nice and low cost stand using a Music Stand from Amazon like 
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0897TDWH9/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_mXxmFb8V9KPQC

I used a spare bit of wood left over from picture rail  to add a second shelf 
above the KX3/PX3 combo to take a raspberry pi and a Microham USB.

The power supply sits behind it it with a four way splitter. ( $6 from Amazon )
The Cables are neatly held in place with stick on Cable Supports. ( 
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TXB9VLZ/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_r6xmFbQXPWWK7 )
You need to clean the wood with alcohol before trying to stick down the 
supports 

See a picture at 
https://s3.amazonaws.com/files.qrz.com/q/g7ltq/Station_running_with_headless_Pi.jpg
I had to have system which was acceptable to look at as it runs in a corner of 
our living room.

Hi,I'd like to add the PAE power supply. Small, noise free.73


This PSU IS quiet when supplying the 150mA or so needed on receive, but 
pretty noisy with the much larger currents needed for transmit. That 
means it's fine if it only powers a KX3 and you're not trying to listen 
on another radio at the same time.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 transmit limitations

[jcj...@lagoon.nc]

Hi all,

When raising this question I did not plan to transmit outside of the Ham 
bands but only to import a K2 in a country where the authorities do not 
allow the use of a transceiver which can transmit outside of the Ham 
bands. Yes such countries still exist and they have a right to be 
strict. I got an answer from a EA... who had the same problem in Spain 
and Elecraft factory set for him the I/O chip of his kit.

Bonjour Pierre,

You put two question in your mail. So here are both answers.

No, it is not possible to restrict the K2 transmitting frequence during the

And yes, it is possible to transmit with a K2 outside the ham radio bands all 
times.

But I don't know any reason why a ham radio operator should send outside the 
frequencies
that are reserved for us. And to restrict the frequence area in a ham radio 
band makes
also no sence to me, if you are a ham radio operator.

Re: [Elecraft] K4 remote software question

[Fred Jensen]

Indeed!  I'm old, been through this many times.  Regardless of what is 
causing problems:


Don't publicize a release date because of uncertainties and the World 
will give you a thousand reasons why you are wrong and should have given 
a date.


Publicize a release date and then miss it because of uncertainties and 
the the same World will criticize you a thousand times for missing the 
date.


Adjust the design(s) to accommodate the uncertainties and make your 
release date, and the same World will criticize you a thousand times for 
all the missing design elements while waiting for the upgrades.


Pre-assign serial numbers to pre-orders and publish them and the World 
will criticize you a thousand times when the production pace does not 
keep up with expectations.  When pre-orders cancel, the rest of the list 
will criticize you for not adjusting the serial number sequence so "they 
can get a lower number."  If you adjust the sequence, the rest of the 
list will criticize you because they now can't track production rates.


Publish weekly reports detailing problems, progress or the lack thereof, 
and estimated release date and the World will have a thousand complaints 
about your lack of progress, missing the release date, and spelling, 
grammar, frequency, and content of your reports.


Please post if you ever find a "win" in any of these scenarios, I never 
have.

Testing the waters here for a KX3.

I had a beauty but foolishly sold it and the KXPA100 amp.

So, wondering if any one out there has a KX3 (s/n 1 and up) they might 
consider selling.

Unit should be in mint condition and fully operational…options are a plus.

Many thanks for any info.

[Elecraft] re KX3 PX3 desktop stand

[John Newgas]

Ron Bell Asked :

I made a nice and low cost stand using a Music Stand from Amazon like 
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0897TDWH9/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_mXxmFb8V9KPQC

I used a spare bit of wood left over from picture rail  to add a second shelf 
above the KX3/PX3 combo to take a raspberry pi and a Microham USB.

The power supply sits behind it it with a four way splitter. ( $6 from Amazon )
The Cables are neatly held in place with stick on Cable Supports. ( 
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TXB9VLZ/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_r6xmFbQXPWWK7 )
You need to clean the wood with alcohol before trying to stick down the 
supports 

See a picture at 
https://s3.amazonaws.com/files.qrz.com/q/g7ltq/Station_running_with_headless_Pi.jpg
I had to have system which was acceptable to look at as it runs in a corner of 
our living room.

Nice install.
I took the GEM mounts and plywood one more step.  I used a ~12" round 
3/4" plywood disk and mounted three RAM mounts; 
https://www.rammount.com/ .  KX3, PX3 and Plastic "box".  The box can 
hold audio ADC and CAT control or for picnic table OP's, and antenna.  I 
am able to adjust KX3/PX3 angle and position for best OP...

I’m certainly sympathetic with your position given the critical importance of 
remote operation to you.  Back in August 2012 I signed on for the Flex-6700  
based on the ethernet connection providing remote operation as was touted when 
the product was announced at the 2012 Hamvention and the closeout of the 
special introductory pricing was in August 2012.  SmartSDR was to provide not 
only remote operation, but full functionality of the panadapter/waterfall 
display which is a feature that no other manufacturer was promising for remote 
operation.

The Flex-6700 was delivered to me in November 2013 at installed at my ham 
station in SE Georgia.  The initial software package was woefully inadequate 
and though the following SmartSDR software updates through version 1.xx 
provided enhanced capabilities, it wasn’t until version 2 was announced in May 
2017 with the introduction of ’SmartLINK’ that remote capability was added.  
Thus, it took five years from product feature announcement to product  feature 
availability.  Almost all of my operating is done remotely, so I ended up with 
a very expensive paperweight.  At least I didn’t have to pay for the version 2 
software upgrade given that I was an ‘early adopter’ where Flex recognized that 
those that made early commitments to the 6700 in 2012 were promised that 
feature. 

That said, I did end up ordering a K3-KPA500-KAT500-K3/I0 and Remote Rig 1258 
package in August 2014 at the Huntsville Hamfest given the fact that at least 
Elecraft had a proven product line that could be operated remotely and I wasn’t 
getting any younger.  This system has worked amazingly well for remote 
operation from my station location with limited DSL at the time (768K upload), 
particularly with the addition of the Remote Rig RC-1216H web-based controller 
for use with the KPA-500 and a second RC-1216H for the Green Heron rotor 
controller that allows me to observe/control these devices with any web 
browser.  I later added the P3 for those times when I am in the shack.  So for 
three years the Elecraft line was my sole means of operating remotely. I 
currently have 2MB upload/20 MB download which is good enough for remote use of 
SmarkSDR.  Currently, I can work both systems independently through a 4O3A 
Antenna Genius where both systems have access to my antennas.  The Flex system 
works well but I am limited by my DSL service as to how many 
panadapters/waterfall displays I can use.  It is the panadapter capability that 
I miss in the K3 while running remotely.

That said, the Elecraft is still my primary rig for use with my End Feed Half 
Wave antenna because the KAT500 can handle the KPA500.  Flex/4O3A is yet to 
release the ’Tuner Genius’ for use with the PGXL (announced in February 2017 
and received in May 2018) that is part of the package that was promised to 
purchasers when I submitted my PGXL order in February 2017.  It is an excellent 
amplifier, but the lack of the tuner significantly limits the amplifier’s 
utility for use only with my M-Squared yagi.Latest word (noted at the QSO 
Today Virtual Expo) is that the Tuner Genius is in Alpha Testing with the hope 
that

[Elecraft] KX2 to Tentec 418 amplifier

[Chris]

I recently acquired a KX2 and love it.  I also have a Tentec 418 100W
amplifier that I want to find a way to interface them for keying and
band-changing.  Keying seems easy and straightforward, but the question is
if there is an easy way for band-changing.  I appreciate it if you share
how you have done this.

Re: [Elecraft] K4 remote software question

[VE6WZ_Steve]

Bob,

Regarding the remote capability of the K4 I heard the same thing.  I 
specifically asked in the chat room if Elecraft currently has PC based user 
interface software to be used with a remote installation. The response from 
Wayne seems to indicate they do not.  I also ordered the radio a year ago based 
on correspondence with Elecraft indicating they will have PC control software 
available at the time of delivery.
The Elecraft response seems to be that there “should be” a Win4K4 type software 
package available, and that RemoteHam software ‘"should be able to control the 
radio”.
My expectation was that there would be PC based user interface software 
available that would substantially emulate the K4 front panel display with full 
waterfall and control functionality.  I would expect some detail about the 
software, perhaps at least some screenshots and some communication from 
Elecraft that the software has been tested in the field.  The silence from 
Elecraft on this topic seems to indicate such software is NOT available.

Please understand I remain excited about adding the K4 to my remote to 
hopefully replace the K3s and maybe the Flex 6600, but since I will NEVER even 
see or touch the K4 when using it (it will be 100km away). I need to fully 
understand what the control software will look like since without it the radio 
is useless to me.

To be clear, before I can accept delivery of the radio, I will need more than 
“sure, there will be software available to control the radio”.
Without specific and DETAIL information from Elecraft about this, I will need 
to cancel my order and request a refund and wait until the remote capabilities 
are developed in the future.

[Elecraft] K4 Status

[Randy Farmer]

I watched Eric's EXPO presentation on the K4 and also monitored the 
following Q session. The radio looks fantastic, and there may 
eventually be one in my future. What I found even more impressive, 
however, was Eric's total candor in response to questions on the 
delivery timeline. He carefully explained essentially everything that 
was going on at the company and how it was likely to impact the delivery 
schedule. This included frank assessments of potential supply chain 
problems and ongoing product development work. It's absolutely 
astonishing to me that a principal of a company would be willing to 
discuss such things in a public forum. I doubt you'd ever see 
representatives of the major Japanese radio companies come anywhere 
close to such disclosure. I don't know much about Flex, but I gather 
openness is not their strong suit, either.


Wayne's talk on the KX2 mechanical engineering process was equally 
impressive. He laid out the intimate details of how they did the 
packaging. I've never seen such an in-depth presentation of the 
development of a product from any company. This far exceeded the detail 
that would occasionally be presented in the long-gone Hewlett-Packard 
journals.


Those of you who think Elecraft is trying to conceal information on the 
K4 rollout owe it to yourselves to check out the recorded sessions when 
they become available online. They should allay any doubts you might 
have about whether or not you're being given the straight info from 
Elecraft.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

[Dave Sublette]

I heard nothing on 40M. 20M was good and QSB was only 2 S-units or so.;

[Elecraft] K4 remote software question

[K5WA]

After listening to Eric’s EXPO presentation, I thought I heard him say Elecraft 
would have an API for developers to develop remote software for the K4.  I take 
that to mean that Elecraft will NOT have their own remote software offering so 
you must buy a K4/0 until software is available from 3rd parties.   I had 
understood previously that Elecraft would actually have their own software 
available around the ship date of the K4 so I’ve been planning for that in my 
remote project.  I guess I’ll have to switch gears and delay my remote project 
further.  I was hoping to have it installed this year.

 

On the K4 delivery issue, since the Group 1 purchasers are a known lot, it 
seems that any group that is full and finite should be able to be given a 
number (maybe even the actual/projected S/N) so that, for example, as people on 
this reflector announce that they received S/N 25 and your number was 50, you’d 
have a clue that your rig was getting close.  Ideally, with supply chains 
running smoothly, Elecraft could show their production projections by S/N or at 
least an estimated units per week forecast as they ramp up.  I realize the 
exact S/N may change due to special circumstances, but at least we’d have a 
ballpark pecking order of when to sit at the mailbox looking down the street 
(longingly) for a delivery truck.  I’m not aware of a downside to letting folks 
know their actual or approximate spot in line.  We all know Gavin Newsome and 
Dr. Faucci have the largest influence on delivery dates but I’d sure like to 
have a wee bit more transparency from Elecraft about our investment.

 

I know there will be folks telling me to sit tight (as I have for the last 15+ 
months), they’re coming, but since late August is still the announced best 
guess for first production shipments, Elecraft surely has internal forecasts by 
now that could be parceled out to folks on the waiting list.  Heck, I’ll even 
volunteer to be the body that tabulates the list if Elecraft wants to put me to 
work.  (I’m guessing there are 500-1000 units in Group 1?)

 

Semi-patiently waiting,  

 

Bob K5WA
