Re: [Elecraft] Keying the K3s
Hi Dave, The K3s (and K3) bypasses the 100 watt PA module when you set the Power control to less than 11 watts and relies on the KLPA3A 10 watt PA driver module. No harm will come to the K3s when operating at 5 watts presuming you have an SWR within spec for the K3s. I used a simple optocoupler interface to key my K3 from N1MM+ function keys in CW contests, but replaced it with a Mortty, which emulates the WinKey protocol from a USB port on the computer. There are a variety of single transistor keying interfaces described on the web if you search a bit. Others may recall if one can share the K3s serial port for both rig control and CW keying without a separate interface circuit - I remember seeing various discussions on this issue years ago, but can't retrieve them now. 73, Mike, K8CN __ 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] Muting the K2
Thanks Fred for the suggestion of using a Dow-Key relay, but they seem to be unavailable in UK/Europe except on Ebay secondhand for $120 or more & those are mostly 24V rather than 12V.

Re: [Elecraft] K4 recommendation - wait for HD or no?
On the subject of two radios operating in close proximity: I have a K3/10 (12w version) that I use with a KXPA-100 on 6m or HF. I have noted the noise level of the K3 S-meter rise about one s-unit when I transmit on 2m with the IC-9700 + 100w TE amplifier into a high-gain 2m vertical about 100-foot away from the 3-element 6m yagi. K3 is on 50.125 in SSB mode, but both radios physically on the same table. I've not been overly concerned, as trying to receive 6m while transmitting on 2m is not a normal operating situation for me. K3 is updated with latest Synthesizers (two). I suppose cable radiation could be the cause vs antenna-antenna pickup. Also have not tested IC-9700 harmonic output. Testing with K3 connected to my 500w Bird term probably would reveal this. Anyway thought it curious behavior for the K3 (SN 4340). 73, Ed - KL7UW may be sort-term situation as the shack will be moved into a new location in a couple months with new cables and grounding. __ 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] KX3 filters oscillating issue
I have a fully loaded KX3 with the roofing filter. With the AF set to 12, the RF set to 0 and the monitor level at 19, when I start closing the filter (APF OFF) it begins to oscillate at bandwidth 1.8k until it gets down to .05k and stops. This happens on every band. With (APF ON) the oscillation begins at 1.8k but changes timbre as the filter is closed to .05k but never stops. This has been happening since I got the transceiver back from service a few months ago. Is this a setting of some kind that got reset during service? Is there something I need to change? Thanks for your input. 73!

[Elecraft] Keying the K3s
Good morning, I have two questions. I plan to operate a contest next weekend in the QRP mode. Is there any added danger for operating the K3s at the 5 watt level for the contest? The other question is about keying CW with the computer. I have N1MM working. It reads the frequency and controls the K3s. But, how may I use the CW feature of N1MM to send CW? I know folks use devices like the WinKeyer, but I don't have one of those. I will consult the N1MM to see if there are any instructions. But my overriding concern is, are there any issues that make using a WinKeyer better than keying the K3s directly through the USB control of the interface? Thanks for any help. 73, Dave, K4TO __ 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
