[Elecraft] Smoke Detectors

2020-10-28 Thread Geoffrey Feldman
Radio waves are non-Ionizing. I hope we all know that and know one another
know that.  However the near field is an electrical field.  The smoke
detector compares the ionization between two chambers, both with the same
radioactive source. One is exposed to the environment (smoke) and the other
is not while both have the same radioactive source.  An imbalance in the two
chambers indicates smoke impeding ionizing radiation.  It is triggered by a
very small amount of smoke, barely visible to the eye.   The means of
detection is electronic and can be affected by a strong near field.   Most
of the smoke detectors I know of here in the US are the ion type.  

It may also be that other electronics in the detector are affected by the
near field.   That would be another theory but I think that affecting the
detector itself is more likely.

Re: [Elecraft] Back with a K1 and K2

2020-10-28 Thread Don Wilhelm
Well, regular reflector email works well, and is my preference  If it is 
changed, I will go down "kicking and screaming".  Threads lose something 
for me - subjects change, but participants do not change the subject 
line, so things get mixed up.


If you want threading a good email client like Thunderbird will give you 
that option if you choose.  You can also, read the email on Nabble which 
can display in threaded format.

Well you saved up some fun for later. I have with exception of the 1500w amp 
and k4, I have everthing else.

Whoops, I do need a 2 Meter Xverter, have the 6 meter one.

Still great fun with K2.  The receive works side by side equal with my K3S. 
And having built all the options, it’s a high performance rig and Its fun

to make the same contacts as all the others out there.

Hope to see you on the air soon.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 upgrade kit sequence

2020-10-28 Thread Don Wilhelm

Doug,

You are exactly right.  If you follow the K2 history, you will find that 
the K2 A TO B kit was issued to pull all the prior mods together as well 
as providing instructions about the best sequence to use when doing a 
full upgrade.  That happened at the same time the B level boards were 
laid out which incorporated all the prior mods (SN3000 and above).


So anyone contemplating a full K2 upgrade, start with the K2ATOBKT and 
install the other kits when the A to B instructions call for them.


One other benefit is that the K2ATOBKT instructions tell you when to do 
the alignment instead of doing the alignment after each of the mod kits.


The A to B mod will not quite get you to a post 3000 SN equivalent 
unless you also change the IF crystals (not necessary if the SN being 
upgraded is above 2560 which was when the crystals were changed).
That leaves only the K2 Keying Waveshape mod which appeared near SN 
4600, but the kit has been discontinued for lack of a leaded PIN diode. 
New K2 kits use an SMD diode on a carrier board, but so far, that SMD 
diode has not made it into the mod kit instructions - yes, I know the 
new KPA100 kit calls for it as a prerequisite.


It will also not deal with changes to the KSB2 (the PSK mod) and the 
KSB2 crystals and bandwidth change to 2.4kHz.  Check the resistors on 
your KSB2 board against the mod instructions to determine if you already 
have it installed, it was put into production early on.


Don't forget to upgrade the KPA100 too, the KPA100UPKT will 'do it all', 
there is no need for the KPA100MDKT since the parts are included in the 
KPA100UPKT.


So, there is the FULL story - I have upgraded many, many K2s.  Anytime I 
had an older K2 in for repair, I gave the owner the option of upgrading 
or just repairing - almost all chose to upgrade.  And my upgraded Field 
Test K2 SN 0020 performs as well as a new one.

Don W3FPR

If you try to do them in calendar order (like I did), you will encounter

What is the intended purpose?  There are many SDR receiver options,

All run on the USB port of a computer (mostly Windoze), and cover

nearly all of it freeware. And as long as you keep them out of overload,

Re: [Elecraft] k2 spurious

2020-10-28 Thread Don Wilhelm

David and all,

I am a little late chiming in here, but all David's points are correct 
except for a caution on one.


The alternate winding ratio for T4 should never be used with the KSB2 or 
the KPA100 installed.  It is OK for power in CW kept below 5 watts.
If the PA is operated above 5 watts, it becomes more and more 
inefficient as the power is increased.


I have repaired several for buyers of a used K2 who had problems 
developing full output and observed that the current draw at 10 watts 
was quite high, sometimes causing HiCur messages.


73,
Don W3FPR

On 10/26/2020 8:43 PM, David Woolley wrote:


I'd expect the actual PA collector impedance to be a lot higher than the 
impedance reflected through the transformer, as transistors and FETs 
are, to a first approximation, current sources, although the negative 
feedback would actually make the reverse termination impedance much 
lower than that from the transformer.


A hint that is the case is the option for different winding ratio if you 
are always going to use a lower maximum power.  Maximising the voltage 
swing increases the efficiency.  The alternative ratio doesn't transform 
the filter input impedance down so much.

Anyone willing to share their delivery Info with us?   I’m surprised no one has 
announced (bragged) about receipt of a new K4 radio. Shipments started in early 
September we thought.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA-1500 No Power Out (TX LED Does Not Come On)

2020-10-28 Thread Dave
Try shorting the RCA connector on the amp and see if the TX light comes on. 

Load the KPA1500 utility and look at the log file. 

Look on the KPA1500 and see what frequency it thinks the amp is on. If it is 
out of band it will not TX. 

That is where I would start. Also check that all cables are seated properly.

[Elecraft] KPA-1500 No Power Out (TX LED Does Not Come On)

2020-10-28 Thread Richard Thorne
Came out to the shack this morning and the KPA-1500 is not going into 
transmit.


I verified that the PTT cable is shorting when the Flex 6600 goes into 
transmit.


The amp operates properly otherwise. The ATU works, it shows the power 
out from the 6600, it just won't go into transmit (no Red TX LED).


I did upgrade to firmware 2.48 yesterday and the amp worked fine.  I 
downgraded to 2.38 this morning, same result, the amp will not go into 
transmit.


What am I missing early this morning with only a half cup of coffee.

Thanks

Or indeed, anywhere else in the world? UPS and Fedex operate in many

Just curious -- why are you unwilling to ship to AK or HI? The buyer
is paying.
