[Elecraft] K-POD

2022-02-23 Thread marvwheeler
I am going to be selling a K-POD that I bought used about a year ago. I have
never programmed the device so all I know about it is that the LEDs light
and when the knob is turned the vfo changes frequency. My main question is
how much is it worth? I have the cables but do not have the user manual.

 

Thanks

Marv

Do any of the mics you mentioned have frequency response curves similar 
to high articulation mics like the original Astatic D-104? or the 
vintage Heil HC-4/5 (see graph below).


I found that most "generic" mics have way too much low-end response with 
little top-end so they sound very muddy and not very articulate. Not the 
best choice for entry level and older rigs that do not offer TX-EQ.

Re: [Elecraft] Need help with kat500 utility

2022-02-23 Thread Richard Donner
Hi
Well I checked the  antenna and it is just as before the problem.
  Is the capacitor setting normally checked by default?
This setting was not chosen automatically.

  After I  enabled the capacitor setting the tuner tuned immediately to a
low SWR on the low end of the band.
I noticed that now it is automatically chosen.
This has been a nice study time to figure how this tuner works.  It seems
fine now.
Thanks for  the help  all seems well.

On another note , my k3 has reached its 15  birthday year
Thanks all

[Elecraft] D-104 Element Replacement

2022-02-23 Thread JR
I am often amazed  how little some hams know about microphones. You can 
purchase any number of compatible dynamic microphone cartridges, or 
electret condenser capsules, and fit them into a D-104 head shell.   I 
buy a number of excellent dynamic replacement cartridges on eBay for 
less than $10,  and purchase suitable electret condenser capsules for as 
low as 10 for $1,  including shipping in some cases!    Research and 
shop around and you will find all sorts of inexpensive replacement 
elements that sound great.  I built a test bed of several microphones 
and nobody has ever correctly identified which element is which - 
including the HEIL PR-20 I included as a "control" sample.  I once 
purchased an old Shure Unidyne 55C "Elvis Style" microphone and 
installed a $7 replacement cartridge after super cleaning and polishing 
the original zinc-alloy head.  Looks good - sounds good - total cost 
under $20 including cleaning materials.    Point is ... you can easily 
upgrade an old mic on the cheap without sacrificing sound quality.


I cannot bring myself to even consider what W2ENY sells after comparing 
his stuff to what appear to be comparable and possibly the same items on 
eBay.com and Aliexpress.com.  For example, compare his $70 desk boom mic 
with this one on Aliexpress, and reach your own conclusion.  I 
acknowledge he solders a Foster connector on it, but that is much more 
than I expect to pay for a quick solder job and a $2 plug and a bit of 
shrink tube.


https://tinyurl.com/y2n7ussm

https://w2eny.com/deskmic/

Of course, this is just my "take" (opinion) and I may be way off base.  
Everyone should do diligence and draw his own conclusions. JHR

[Elecraft] Need help with kat500 utility

2022-02-23 Thread Andy Durbin
"I  have some question about the operate tab in the kat500 utility.  In the 
"others"  what should be checked off?
"caps on the Ant side"
"amp key interrupt"
"attenuator"
  Not sure what these things do."

If you don't have a specific reason for changing these values you should regard 
these as status indicators rather that user control selections.

Cap side will be chosen automatically to achieve the best match.  It indicates 
whether the capacitors of the LC tuning network are on the transceiver side of 
the inductors or on the antenna side of the inductors.  It can be set manually 
when attempting to manually find, or improve, a tuning solution.

Amp key interrupt indicates that the keying line has been opened and a 
connected amplifier cannot be keyed by the transceiver.  It is set 
automatically in some fault conditions and when an autotune is in progress.

Attenuator is a mystery that Elecraft will not respond to.  It indicates that 
the KAT500 internal input attenuator has been activated but the removal of an 
internal KAT500 resistor that is part of this attenuator seems to make it 
impossible for the attenuator to work as designed.

Re: [Elecraft] Need help with kat500 utility

2022-02-23 Thread Rick Bates, NK7I

Let's start with the basic facts.

Rig --> amp --> KAT500 --> antenna/s (with the tuner blocking the amp 
key in while tuning).


1)  The KAT500 was working successfully 'for years' without issue.
2)  There was a sudden change in operation.

This doesn't necessarily mean it was the tuner; it more likely means 
that something in your antenna system has changed or failed (a rope or 
wire, the feed etc).  Start there (use an antenna analyzer to see what 
is different).  Take a look at ALL of that system (loose connector?).


Caps on either side, depends on the antenna load presented to the tuner; 
high or low impedance load (grossly simplified).


Key interrupt should be used for an amp, so you don't put too high a 
stress (mostly on the amp) during the tuning process, causing damage.


Likewise attenuator kicks in when you overdrive the tuner input, prior 
to a fault if it doesn't change.


At least this is my understanding, subject to confirmation/denial.

GL es 73,
Rick NK7I

[Elecraft] D-104 Mic Element Replacement

2022-02-23 Thread Bob McGraw
Most D-104 mikes are not suited for use with today's radios.  The 
original D-104 was designed to work into a load impedance of 4 meg-ohms 
or higher.  Today's radios microphone input is about 50k ohms or so.   
The result is then excessive load on the D-104 element.  This is the 
major cause of frequency response issues.


The D-104 with the TG stand {amplified mike stand} uses the FET device 
as a buffer, thus it is providing a very high impedance for the mike 
element and adequate gain to drive a 50k ohm or lower microphone input.


As to replacing the D-104 element, if yours has output, likely it is OK 
and is suffering from the issue of improper load on the element.  
Remember, this mike was designed to operate with tube type microphone 
amplifiers, having an input impedance of several meg-ohms.


The D-104 on my TUG8 stand has the original Rochelle salt element and 
the FET amplifier in the base.  It sounds great on any of my radios.  My 
comment is that one should use the mike such that moisture or spittal 
from the mouth does not accumulate on the mike face and element.  Also 
don't leave it in a position where the equipment will heat the D-104 
above room temperature and surely left in the direct sun.


I frequently hear hams talking about using a D-104 with a Heil 
element.   Fact is, it no longer is a D-104, it is a Heil HC-4 or HC-5 
or whatever.

[Elecraft] D-104 Mic Element Replacement

2022-02-23 Thread Wilson Lamb via Elecraft

Thanks for the references. 
Some of the elements from the harmonica place are interesting, but expensive.  
A good source, if they are OK. 
Emboldened by  D-104 Element Repair - Mike Harrison (smugmug.com) I tore into 
one and found the diaphragm glue gone and the linkage between the diaphragm and 
element loose on both ends. 
The repair is easy and preliminary indications are it's working OK. 
I don't know if it's a crystal or ceramic element, but it's hot, so I expect 
ceramic. 
I'd bet quite a few cartridges have been replaced because of these problems!

Re: [Elecraft] K3 strange overshoot

2022-02-23 Thread Michael Tope

Hi Tony,

I've noticed that whenever I adjust the drive on the K3 either up or 
down, there is an initial power overshoot on the first dit after the 
adjustment. I use an Alpha 87A which can be sensitive to drive 
(sometimes the overshoot causes a grid over-current fault), so I've 
gotten into the habit of putting it in standby after a drive adjustment 
on the K3. Then, I send a dit, after which I put the Alpha 87A back into 
operate mode. I thought this was an design idiosyncrasy I had to live 
with. I'll have to give the re-calibration procedure you describe a try 
to see if that fixes the problem.


Thanks,

73, Mike W4EF

I got way behind with my personal email so not sure if there has been 
follow-up to this.
I have a K3/KPA1500. A final in the KPA1500 blew and took out the K3 
too. Both went back to Elecraft for repair. This was the third trip 
back for the KPA1500.I was told the log showed over drive on the amp. 
This was very puzzling as I never drove the amp hard, at least not to 
my knowledge. I was concerned about using it. Thought about selling it 
as it was fresh back from the factory again and checked out. But not 
sure if there was an inherent problem with the amp so didn't want to 
pass this on to someone else. When it came back I left it in the box 
for quite a while. Used the KPA500 instead. Finally set it up for 
ARRLDXCW. But kept my drive at <20W. My amps are in the basement on a 
shelf literary right below my feet where I sit to operate. My left 
monitor is off about 45 degrees. This is where I have a window for the 
KPA1500 Remote screen window. What I noticed, even with <20W drive, 
when I changed any bands, the first key shot the power way up. After 
the first keying the power dropped down to what you would expect. Any 
keying after that would be fine until I changed bands. Maybe this is 
why the KPA1500 finals died?
I was told this is caused by the K3. If you set the K3 to exactly 5 or 
50W the calibration will change and cause this spike. Someone told me 
to do a recalibrate on the K3 (sorry I don't remember who told me to 
do that? This K3 had come back from Elecraft along with the KPA1500.I 
did that and guess what, the spike on the KPA1500 went away even when 
changing bands. Since I did this I make sure the K3 is never set up 
for either 5 or 50w. Everything worked fine all weekend, but with 
reduced power. I was eagle eye when changing bands and so far have not 
seen the problem come back.
Is this K3 issue about the problem happening if you set up and 
transmit with the K3 at 5W or 50W for real? Is it widespread? I have 
to assume Elecraft isn't aware of this, if it is a real problem. I got 
to assume they would have sent out a notice or a possible software 
upgrade to fix this.

Bob, no idea if this is the overshoot problem you are seeing.
By the way, what drive power are folks using to get 1500W out of the 
KPA1500?Also, I don't believe the SWR has had any involvement with 
this problem. All my antennas SWR are below <1.5.

[Elecraft] D-104 Element Replacement

2022-02-23 Thread Wilson Lamb via Elecraft

No actual replacement found so far, but several nice dynamic/electret 
conversions. 
Encouraged by this posting on QRZ, D-104 Element Repair - Mike Harrison 
(smugmug.com), I decided there was nothing to lose by looking inside. 
It's actually no problem at all and I found multiple problems: linkage between 
diaphragm and element loose at both ends, diaphragm perimeter glue completely 
gone, wooly stuff between screen and diaphragm completely gone. 
I did a very quick repair, attaching the linkage to the element with beeswax 
and the diaphragm to the linkage with rubber cement. 
Preliminary testing on the air indicates the response is very similar to that 
of a believed good unit, so I'm declaring conditional victory until better 
tests are available. 
SO, the moral;  You may not need an element at all, if you are willing to fool 
around a while and repair what's wrong! 
Not like I had nothing to do, but it's nice to get to the bottom of something.
