[Elecraft] Year vs serial number

2020-12-20 Thread cx7tt
My K3s serial number is 10599 (somebody at Elecraft must have known the only 
signal reports I get in contests) HA!

Would the number correspond to manufacture in 2016 or 2017? Factory assembled.

73 y Merry Christmas

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

2020-12-20 Thread kevinr

Good Evening,

   Conditions were good on both bands.  Lots of strong signals from the 
East.  QSB was slow and steady.  I was asked if I took rig information.  
At that point I realized I knew what kind of rig each of you was 
running.  We used to exchange serial numbers before the K3 came along.  
Then more of them checked in.  Over time we ceased checking numbers and 
morphed a bit.  Now we exchange tidbits of information on this and 
that.  When a new rig or antenna pops up it gets mentioned too.  Facts 
build up over the years :)  Maybe I have done this too long; I know my 
hand was complaining by the end of the second net.  Hopefully, as 
conditions improve, I can convince a few of you to call from farther 
east or south.  That gives another perspective and a longer baseline.  
Something to consider.



  On 14050 kHz at 2200z:

NO8V - John - MI

W0CZ - Ken - ND

K4TO - Dave - KY

AB9V - Mike - IN

K6XK - Roy - IA

KB3FBR - Joe - PA


  On 7047.6 kHz at 0030z:

K0DTJ - Brian - CA

KL7CW - Rick - AK

K4WJ - John - FL

AE6JV - Bill - NH


  I know some of you will have a chance to view the Jupiter Saturn 
conjunction.  The rings will appear closer than some of the moons of 
Jupiter.  I doubt they mean the Galilean moons :)  Good luck and clear 
skies to you.


Merry Christmas.

   Until next week 73,

   Kevin.  KD5ONS

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 P command not working from RPI and node red, any ideas?

2020-12-20 Thread Michael Walker
To add to my previous email, if you check with the Hams on the Node Red
Amateur group in groups.io, someone will have a KPA500 flow that already
works.

Hi Dave

What is the display saying when you’re trying to power it up?. I had NodeRed 
code running for it just fine never had an issue with it.

I found at times I managed to get it into the binary upload mode which would 
mess it up.

[Elecraft] KPA500 P command not working from RPI and node red, any ideas?

2020-12-20 Thread davedkv
I've been trying all day to get the KPA500 to "wake up" with a P command sent
from a raspberry PI zero W running node red without success. Every other
command works perfectly.  If I hook up a laptop to the KPA500 it wakes up
every time using the KPA utility of course, anyone know what the difference
is?

[Elecraft] Waiting for Godot

2020-12-20 Thread Rajiv Dewan
Hello all,

I too am waiting for a K4 in Group 2 (a K4HD actually) but I put my order in 
late (July 2019), and so my wait will be even longer.  

Meanwhile, my 13 year old K3 (#170) is acting up with random errors and has 
turned into a repair project.  I needed a radio that I could operate remotely.  
So, I bought an Icom 7300.  It is inexpensive and its performance is in the 
same ball park as most of the direct conversion SDR receivers.  I’ll likely 
sell it when my K4 arrives. The loss in value of the IC-7300 will be the cost 
of waiting.  BTW, the IC-7300 is pretty bare-bones:  Single receiver, no APF.  
A W4ENE Passive CW filter helps improve the CW reception substantially.

Raj, N2RD

[Elecraft] K4D external transverter question

2020-12-20 Thread William Hein
I assume I can listen on one band while transmitting on another with the
K4D. Does this extend to using an external transverter? For example, AO-7
Mode A I would be listening on 10m while transmitting on 2m via the
transverter port to an external transverter.
