[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

[kevinr]

Good Evening,

   Signals were fair to OK on twenty meters.  Steve had fast QSB but 
noise was low.  Forty meters changed from the first minute onward.  
Signals were strong but everyone faded with time.


  Some signs of spring but only those to the south had flowers. There 
are pockets of snow here in the shade.  I had lots of traffic today.  
About a dozen motorcycles came through, testing the mud.  Plenty of clay 
mixed in so they have a slippery challenge.


  John did mention ice and wind.  Perfect antenna eating weather.  Days 
are getting longer, I expect 40 meters to keep improving.  We were done 
before dusk today so I did not lose anyone in the middle of a contact.



  On 14050.5 kHz at 2200z:

W0CZ - Ken - ND

NO8V - John - MI

K6XK - Roy - IA

K4JPN - Steve - GA


  On 7047.5 kHz at z:

W0CZ - Ken - ND

KG7V - Marv - WA

WM5F - Dwight - ID

K0DTJ - Brian - CA

K6PJV - Dale - CA

AE6C - Denny - CA


Until next week 73,

   Kevin.  KD5ONS

Re: [Elecraft] K2 upgrade notes not found on Elecraft site...

[Mike K8CN]

Chuck,

I found an old copy of the K2 firmware update instructions with brief
descriptions of prior versions' feature changes using the Wayback Machine
(aka archive.org).

https://web.archive.org/web/20090822034804/http://elecraft.com/

Once at this archived page, select Manuals and Downloads in the left hand
menu, select K2 manuals,
and scroll down to the link titled "2.04 K2 Firmware Notes."  That lists the
features of the Rev 2 firmware
succession.

The most recent firmware version, I believe, is 2.04R.  The instructions for
this version have a more limited history of changes.

https://web.archive.org/web/20150905061319/http://www.elecraft.com/manual/K2_Rev_2_FW_Rev_J.pdf

I hope this helps a bit more

Mike, K8CN

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 Starts Off with Low Output on 10M

[Brian Hunt]

Nate,
A couple more questions:

Does the KX2 do the same thing on CW?

Did Elecraft say anything about doing a TX gain calibration?  This can be done 
with the KX2 utility although I haven’t done it on mine, just on my K3. It sets 
the per-band gain coefficients  Be sure to save the current CONFIG file so you 
can restore it if needed. You will need a good dummy load an a stable power 
source. The procedure is on p. 38 of the Rev A5 Manual. 

Good luck,
73,
Brian, K0DTJ

Re: [Elecraft] K2 upgrade notes not found on Elecraft site...

[ke9uw]

That’s an informative link. But what is missing from the upgrade firmware
listings is the history of the upgrades.  And they are not shown in the area
where you buy the upgrade chip. On the K3, the latest firmware upgrade lists
all the upgrade information from the beginning. Not so on the K2 upgrades.
Only the last firmware upgrade lists the details for that upgrade. And it’s
not easy to find...I forget where I saw it as I write this.

It *sounds like* you are still in AFSK A and not DATA A.  By default
AFSK A has a narrow audio filter on the input of the modulator process
(DSP) that restricts modulation to a very narrow range around the
AFSK tones (e.g. 2050-2350 Hz for 2125/2295 tones).

Audio is being fed from my PC to the K3's line input and I'm certain 
that the radio is in DATA A and the Config for MIC SEL is set to LInE 
In. When I hit the TUNE button in WSJT-X, the radio keys and there 
definitely is audio input to the K3 from the PC because I can hear K3 
monitor audio of the tone. Varying the MON level on the K3 varies the 
FT8 tone so I'm quite certain the FT8 tone is coming into the K3. 
However the radio doesn't put out any power and there isn't any ALC 
indication whatsoever. I've adjusted the line in level to max and set 
the WSJT-X "PWR" slider to max but I still can't get the radio to put 
out any power nor any ALC indication.


I've also tried using N1MM to send AFSK RTTY as I did yesterday but I 
still get no RF power output from the K3.

Re: [Elecraft] Buyer Beware ...

[Alan Bloom]

This is nothing new.  Over 40 years ago I sold a Drake 4-line to a guy 
who saw my ad in QST.  The rig was in good operating condition, but he 
decided to send it in to Drake for a complete overhaul/tuneup, new 
tubes, etc. and subtracted the cost from what he sent me.  Basically he 
got a new radio for the cost of a used one.


That's actually the only bad experience I have had buying/selling ham 
gear.  Most hams are pretty honest.

listing with a 100% seller. The ad even included serial numbers. The "buy it

[Elecraft] K3 DATA A problem

[John Simmons]

I worked the RTTY contest yesterday using AFSK with N1MM. All worked 
fine and I shut everything down when I was done. Today I tried to 
operate FT8 but I can not get any power output.


Audio is being fed from my PC to the K3's line input and I'm certain 
that the radio is in DATA A and the Config for MIC SEL is set to LInE 
In. When I hit the TUNE button in WSJT-X, the radio keys and there 
definitely is audio input to the K3 from the PC because I can hear K3

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 Starts Off with Low Output on 10M

[Nate Jedinak]

I have replicated this behavior both with the internal as well as the MH3 
external mic. Of course set at different mic gain levels, always per the manual 
which as you said suggests 5 bars of ALC.  I have tried lower and higher mic 
gain settings just for fun, with the same results. 

I don’t think this is an mic gain issue, as it does happen on any other band 
I’ve used (80, 40, 20) and only on 10m. I made a video showing the behavior 
here, let me know what you think: https://youtu.be/7wWd6vRYSxo

I have had great QSOs on 40 and 20 so far, and feedback that my audio is 
extremely low on 10 until it “warms up” and then reports there are excellent, 
also. I usually talk on 10m for 45-60 minutes every weekend morning and it 
performs well once it’s up to power.

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 Starts Off with Low Output on 10M

[Brian Hunt]

The KX2 uses a control loop to set power. Make sure you have sufficient audio 
drive to energize the loop. Using the ALC display set the MIC GAIN so you have 
5-7 bars on voice peaks, per the manual. 

What MIC are you using? Have you tried the internal MIC?

[Elecraft] 75 Meter Elecraft Net

[Paul Van Dyke]

Due to people wishing to sit next to us and throw carriers ...
I am moving us a small distance away...
AND there is the chance someone will be there ... 75m is funny that way
Please take note of 3.825  3.825 at 01:00 UTC
Sunday night in the US and Monday morning in UTC Land
Keep smiling and be safe
"See" you on the Nets

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 Starts Off with Low Output on 10M

[Paul GACEK via Elecraft]

I have that problem to.

My solution is to wind the power back from 10w to anything less and then back 
to 10w.

[Elecraft] KX2 Starts Off with Low Output on 10M

[Nate Jedinak]

Hello!  I recently purchased a KX2 (#757) from a friendly member of this list. 

I have a local 10m meetup I attend frequently, and I noticed a strange behavior 
that I'm now able to replicate.  When I first switch to 10m, I have extremely 
low output power (one bar on the RF meter), even when set to 10w.  I have to 
keep transmitting for 30-60 seconds, and if I do, the output power starts to 
work its way up to the full 10w.  As you talk, you'll see 2 bars, 3, then 5, 
etc eventually to the full 10w.  If I switch back to another band and back 
immediately, it will display the same behavior (start on one bar and then climb 
slowly), but if I stay on 10m it will continue at full output for the QSO.  I 
isolated this problem this morning and can now replicate at will.  It's not 
just a display issue, my local meetup actually noticed it in audio (I start off 
in the noise, and come out to normal over time).   

I mailed Elecraft, and they suggested it was a hardware failure in the final 
stage. Before I return the radio for service, has anyone experienced this issue 
previously and found it to be a configuration issue that didn’t need hardware 
repair?

Thank you in advance!  Other than this issue, I absolutely love the KX2. It 
took me 3 small HF rigs to land on it, but it suits my needs perfectly.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 question

[Ian Maude]

 Don’t attempt to use a standard RS232 cable with the K2.  You should be
using a specially made cable which is shown in the manual.
