[Elecraft] K3 RIT not working
Hello, after doing some refurbishing (changing rotten connectors, cleaning,...) I was curious if changing the RIT encoder will make the RIT work again. But it doesn't. K3 #1532 Firmware 5.67 I can press on the RIT and XIT button and it shows RIT and XIT in the display, the green LED below the CLR goes on. But when I turn the RIT knob, it stays at 0.00 and the frequency also doesn't change (also audibly). Also when both RIT and XIT are OFF and CONFIG:VFO CRS is ON, then no coarse with the RIT knob. Is there any hidden setting I missed? Or died just this RIT/XIT function on the board? I also couldn't see any broken lines or parts around the RIT encoder on the PCB. I am curious if there is easy help oout there. 73s Chris DL1MGB __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
[Elecraft] OT: High school drafting class, ~1975
OK, I've really dated myself now. Anyone remember "drafting"? A favorite class in high school: blueprints, mechanical drawings, schematics, straight edges, hand lettering, projections and elevations. We invented things to draw that weren't real, but looked like they should be. Did all the math by hand -- on a slide rule, if necessary. Day-dreamed about what we might one day build. 45 years later, we're using tools we couldn't have imagined. Modeling circuits and objects with millions of parameters and vectors, realizing them in virtual space, manipulating them in real time. Testing finished products before they're even assembled. The transformation is mind boggling. Yet the best part now, as it was then, is the occasional burst of creative energy that propels an idea forward. The feeling of pieces falling into place. Or forcing them into place out of sheer necessity. Most of the time, we think of our new tools and techniques as advances in the state of the art. Things we can't live without. But those same defining moments happened just as often in simpler times. Case in point -- my first real project, a rendition of W7ZOI's Micro-mountaineer. Carefully documenting it took several sheets of 4-squares-per-inch grid paper, which may still be in my cellar, beneath a lifetime of such drawings. With the schematic, I took a lot of pride in making the circuits look well-organized, as if that would somehow improve my odds. On the PC board, I drew large traces and pads with the etch-resist pen, as if that would somehow appease the electrons. I etched the PCB, soldered two dozen parts, and connected a 12 V lantern battery. Thanks to my paranoia about what would happen if I did it wrong, I'd taken my time and done it right. I was rewarded with a hiss of band noise and a few CW signals on 40 meters. Here's to those moments, and to that timeless pursuit: turning abstractions into reality. 73, Wayne N6KR __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] K3/KPA500 question
Check the AuxIO cables. They carry the band data from the K3 to the KPA500 (BAND0-3 signals). If they are not connected correctly or either cable is damaged, I would expect the behavior you describe. The AuxIO cable goes from the K3 to the KAT500, then another from the KAT500 to the KPA500. Be sure to check both. 73!

Re: [Elecraft] Speaker upgrade
Don, you’re right on about those West Mountain Com Speakers. I’ve had a pair on my K3S since day one and I wouldn’t trade them for anything. My wife got me a second pair and I use them with my KX2 when I’m operating on my back deck. Sure makes the KX2’s receiver sound super good.

Since the K3 has stereo output, I suggest you look at the West Mountain Radio ComSpeakers. They do a good job. My K3 had 2 Radio Shack mini speakers on it, and the KX3 uses the ComSpeakers.

Re: [Elecraft] KBPF3A switching frequencies and performance
Thanks Ben, I didn't think of that. Now when the KBPF3 is not inst There is no difference in signal level when transitioning from 1.700 to 1.69. And when I set the KBPF3 to nor (and reboot) there is a definite drop of 5-7 S units at the 1.700 transition point and also at the the 2.11 to 2.10999 transition. So there is definitely something in the low band signal path that is attenuating the signal. I'll also do some checking at the other freqs. I guess it's time to drag out the scope for some signal tracing which should be fun with SMDs and my old eyes.

I have pressed A>B (which changes the vfo B freq back to that of the vfo A) and then held the SPLIT button (which has TX now point to vfo A and SPLT disappears). But once I key-up it reverts back to the original screen display and the lower transmit freq. I have gone through the manual and cannot figure out what else to clear on the KX3. In WSJT: PTT Method is CAT; Mode is Data/Pkt and Split Operation is Rig. These settings have not changed. What am I doing wrong? Or, is something wrong? Suggestions appreciated.
