Re: [Elecraft] [K3] FW 5.5 issue??

[Anthony Scandurra]

Jim,

You are remembering it incorrectly.  The 1, 2, 5, and 10 buttons only turn
on SPLIT.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] FW 5.5 issue??

[Anthony Scandurra]

Jim,

I had the same problems.  Switched back to 5.38 and the problems went away.

I have not tried 5.52 to see if the problems were fixed.

Re: [Elecraft] K3: Using Linux - OT

[Anthony Scandurra]

Mike,

WINE = *W*ine *I*s *N*ot an *E*mulator

You don't run Windows in WINE.  You run Windows programs that are then
presented the Windows APIs by WINE.  Think of WINE as a translator, not an
emulator.

I otherwise agree with your sentiment.

I prefer to run apps in their native environment.  Once my favorite
programs DXLab and N1MM+ are able to run in Linux natively, I will switch
to Linux in a heartbeat!

Re: [Elecraft] Need advice on Small Tower

[Anthony Scandurra]

Terry,

If you check out my QRZ page, you'll note that I have a USTower TMM-541SS
with a Yaesu G1000DXA rotator and a Force12 XR6 topping it off.

https://www.qrz.com/db/K4QE

The antenna is at 47 feet AGL and it covers 20 thru 6 with one coax.

The TMM-541SS nests down to 12 feet, and I also have the tilt-over kit.

I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about it.

Re: [Elecraft] THE EFFORT OF FIELD DAY

[Anthony Scandurra]

I am happy to report that my 11 year old son, who plays on a PS4, a Xbox,
and his own computer, participated in FD at my local club's operation for
his first time.

He made 63 Qs with help from Dear Old Dad on the GOTA station.  He is also
studying for his Technician class license.

He said over and over again, "Best weekend ever!" to both his mother and
me.  He's already planning for next year.

BTW, we had two other youths at the site who have been hams for years now.
They both have very active lives outside of ham radio, but they still love
the hobby.

Don't give up on our youth!  Ham radio still holds appeal!

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Beta Firmware Issue with DX Labs

[Anthony Scandurra]

I just updated my P3 to the beta firmware.  The symptom Gary described also
occurs here after I switch between SVGA data mode on/off.  I find that I
now have to power cycle the P3 to get CW decode to begin flowing data to
Commander->WinWarbler again.

I did not have to perform a P3 power cycle when switching between SVGA data
on/off in the current production firmware.

Re: [Elecraft] Koss SB-45 Headset, update on comfort

[Anthony Scandurra]

For you DXpeditioners, it should be noted that the Koss SB-45 folds up
quite nicely for easier packing.  See the Koss website's photos of them in
the folded up configuration.

https://www.koss.com/headphones/headsets/sb45-824

Thanks for the review of the headset, Dave!

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Popping noise in headphones??

[Anthony Scandurra]

The clicks are there regardless of the level of the AF gain setting.  The
loudness of the clicks is affected by the AF gain setting, but they are
still there.

I'm using a Yamaha CM500 headset.

It is the strongest when moving between the 0.10 and 0.15 bandwidth
setting, but also occurs going between 0.15 and 0.20.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft SP3 External Speaker details

[Anthony Scandurra]

Have any of you who are complaining seen the prices of speakers from other
radio manufacturers?  How about the other third-party speaker makers?
Elecraft is in the ballpark.

A lot of folks asked (begged, bugged, pestered...) Elecraft to come out
with a speaker for the line.  They finally relented.  Thank you, Elecraft!

 1.29 had the -dBm scale numbers ending with a 0 such as -70, -80, -90, etc.

 I seem to recall this issue in a previous firmware version some time

 Anyone else notice this?

Re: [Elecraft] KSYN3A

I also suggest that everyone should consider the other shipping options

I chose USPS Priority Mail, and it was significantly cheaper than UPS
Ground.

It pays to look at all the options.

 I second this.

 I consider the handling part of Shipping and handling to be
 equivalent to the effort assembling a part  paying the company for
 doing that. The shipping is a fixed price for a company and the
 company has to pay staff. Not to charge for that order acceptance and
 handling time means the company donates that money from their budget
 and processing that order is a loss for them.

 I too noticed the cost of shipping when I ordered the two KSYN3A and
 AM filter but I go back to my earlier post where I said I want
 Elecraft to succeed and prosper. They can't prosper giving away the
 order department and shipping department's services.

  The total shipping cost to a company consists of not only the cost of
  packaging materials and postage, but also the salaries of the staff who
  take the order, process it and the hands that put the items in the
  package and apply the shipping label.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Good time to buy Begali products

[Anthony Scandurra]

That is incorrect.  The purchase price is directly affected by the exchange
rate.  They even provide a link to xe.com on their website so you can
figure out the actual cost in $USD.  Be aware that there is still an
exchange rate fee charged by your bank when you make the transaction, so
the final cost will still be higher than the price calculated in xe.com.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Go Box

[Anthony Scandurra]

The case is clearly not sealed.  Notice the gaps on all four sides of the
panel insert.  Is it enough?  Maybe...

Of course, the user should keep the entire case in the shade, too.

 Hi Ken, list,

 I've done some pretty serious thermal studies of the KX3 (
 http://proaudioeng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/PAE-Kx31-chart1.jpg).
  I looked that the Go Box concept a while ago and agree; The problem with
 the idea is that the KX3 uses the case back for all it's PA heatsinking.
  In the KX3 case design the front-half of the clamshell case is almost
 completely thermally disconnected from the case back (only the thumbscrew
 area is in contact), and cannot remove PA heat by conduction.  In the Go
 Box concept the front panel is the only thing exposed to ambient air flow.
  If the back part of the case was to be sealed in a closed cavity or
 encased in foam, heat build-up would be inevitable.  The Go Box idea may
 not kill the KX3's performance (drift, thermal limitations) if the KX3 is
 only used as a receiver or very low duty-cycle operation.  Of course, one
 could put a fan in the box, but here we go again, killing the KX3's most
 hard-won and fantastic attributes: low power consumptio
 n, no moving parts and no acoustic noise.

 Howie - WA4PSC


  How about heat dissipation if the intent is to operate the radio
 in the box and encased in foam?

 polyester antenna rope so coax connection at end of antenna (has built-in

 1 foot. I have used this set-up several times at various hotels... last
 time
 just the day before but in different city. (Sunny San Diego first of week,
 Drizzly Portland, OR now... Wish some of the rain would head further south
 into Reno for drought relief!!

 I have MINIMUM of S10 to sometimes S30 noise level  - and any time I do get
 some type of voice it is all pretty garbled. Checked mode, LSB/USB -  all
 connections several times, same on different bands... and when I checked
 WWV on 5 I could hear what I think was local AM station a bit clearer!
 Just trying things I reloaded a saved config file, even tried EEINT and
 reloaded again - no change whatsoever.

 Well, sun came out late this afternoon.. and one can see more than 100
 yards...and across the freeway stands 3 large towers!!!  Maybe this was
 overloading far beyond what the KX3  ATU can handle? as I read
 somewhere
 it has broadcast filters built into the ATU.

 Any recommendations on a external filter I can buy, so during my evenings
 in
 hotels when I travel I don't experience this again?? PIA to use my
 slingshot/fishing line to string an antenna in the drizzling rain for
 nuthin'!

 instance I tried to adjust the power on my KPA500 from 250 watts to 500 and
 could not adjust it while keying it. If I unkeyed I could raise the power a
 bit on the K3, then key back up to see what the AMP output was, then unkey

 I installed the older version of firmware back on the K3 and all was well

 This is a VERY well run Expedition. Great overall management, great
 techically, great operators. They are studying (and carefully observing)
 propagation, and putting their stations on bands, and pointing antennas to
 directions, that give the greatest number of hams a new country. FT5ZM is
 the other side of the world from NA, but they are putting Qs in the log on
 the most difficult bands, 80 and 160, by working the east coast around

 And they are just getting started -- as I understand it, they have several

 If I may make a suggestion that might make KX3 checkin easier.  On other

 portable, mobile, and low power stations.  That gives those stations a
 better chance of avoiding being covered up by stronger stations.  Not sure
 if this could be incorporated to the Elecraft-SSB net protocol?

 I have checked in with my KX3 sn475 several times and usually I wait till
 the near the end of the net when the dust settles a bit.  I do have the

 KPA500 off (AC cord disconnected)

 Results:
 KAT500 switched on, Mode = auto, ANT = 1, no antenna connected: *S4 birdie

 test 1:
 - Changing ANT connector on K3: birdie gone.
 - Change antennaconnected on K3 back: birdie S4 again
 - Change to other antennaconnectors on KAT500 makes very little
 difference: 0.3dB Measured on dBV meter of K3 with AGC off
 - Disconnecting the elecraft interface cables makes NO difference. Keep
 them disconnected for further tests.

 test 2:
 - Switch off KAT500 (hold mode switch): birdie drops 0.5dB
 - Disconnect DC from KAT500: birdie is gone. (proof that is has to do with
 the KAT500)

 test 3:
 - KAT500 switched on again
 - Connect dummyload on ANT 1 of KAT500 with KAT500 on: birdielevel goes UP
 +2dB (as compared to no dummyload connected in tests 1 and 2). S-meter now
 now has gone up to S5.
 - then switch off KAT500: birdielevel drops DOWN  -10.5dB
 - switch off KAT500: birdie gone

 Can anyone reproduce this?

 I have not checked all other frequencies, so this might be the only one.
 Still this is a birdie that I cannot ignore.

 We've experienced a threefold increase in sales since Dayton, so it's

 Presently our homepage states around the 2nd week of August, but

 After this batch sells out, you'll likely have to wait until 2014 for

 My first question:  was one supposed to come with the KPA500?  If so, I

 ordering that.

 Second question:  is the USB to Serial cable needed by the KPA500 the same
 as used with the K3.  I mean, on the order page, under the K3 category do
 you order that particular cable or is there something listed for each rig
 component (e.g. KPA500).  I know the KAT500 is different, using the little
 3.5 mm connector I think on the KAT500 side.

 Thanks for clarification.

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 Tuning issue

[Anthony Scandurra K4QE]

You don't need to add 8 foot wires for 10 meters.  The 80 meter dipole will
load up there with a little help from the tuner.

73, Tony K4QE

On Sat, Dec 8, 2012 at 7:27 PM, Ron D'Eau Claire r...@cobi.biz wrote:


 If you want to use your 40 meter dipole on 20 meters, one way is to add two
 16 foot wires at the center feed point, putting a 20 meter dipole in
 parallel with the 40 meter dipole. On 40 the extra 16 foot wires will
 simply
 make the radiator look a bit fatter to the RF. On 20, the 40 meter dipole
 exhibits a very high impedance at the feed point (which is what is causing
 your problem now) while the 20 meter dipole will present a decent match.

 Your 40 meter dipole already makes a decent 15 meter antenna because it's 3
 half waves long, with a relatively decent match at the feed point.

 In the extreme you could add a 120 foot wire paralleled wire so the system
 will cover 80, 40, 20 and 15 meters and a pair of 8 foot wires to cover 10
 meters to make it an 80/40/20/15/10 meter system.

 That was a common multi-band antenna before the WARC bands were opened. The
 mismatch is much greater on the WARC bands because they are not
 harmonically-related to the others. Even though your tuner may produce a
 good load to the transmitter, feed line losses can get rather high.

 Ideally you want to fan the wires to the ends are as far apart as possible,
 but even several inches or a foot or so will work.

 Understand that a 2:1 or worse SWR is common even though the wires are cut
 to 1/2 wavelength due to interaction between them, but the losses should
 not
 be serious over a typical run of good quality coax.

 Thanks for the reply. I received quite a few replies pointing out exactly
 what you said. Because it wouldn't load on 20 meters I was using my other

 was trying to understand why the 40 meter dipole wasn't working well on 20

 Now I realize my KAT500 is working as it should. Having two antennas comes

  Just to make sure we're all on the same page ...
 
  When the tuner (at the radio) gets an acceptable match, that just
  means the transmitter will _think_ there is a good antenna system out
  there. The feedline between the antenna and the tuner will know
  otherwise and can have points of very high voltage that could cause
  insulation breakdown, and points of very high current that can cause
  overheating and will be a source of power loss. This isn't really a
  problem in QRP operations, but when you head into the QRO world it can
  make a difference. The antenna also has issues. In an earlier post
  K3KO had the calculated feedpoint impedance, and it was very far from
  the 'nominal' 50 ohms of your feedline or the ~75 ohms of a dipole at
  altitude. W6GF also gave this info in terms of SWR to show how bad it
  was. All in all a resonant 40M dipole makes an unhappy antenna system
  on 20 meters.
 
  I understand that if that is all you have you're stuck with it, but it
  is really time to consider something else. Maybe a fan dipole, or trap
  dipole?

Re: [Elecraft] Windows vs Mac

[Anthony Scandurra K4QE]

An OS, by itself, is useless without user level tools and applications.

When considering Windows vs. Mac OS vs. Linux, you must consider what apps you 
intend to use with it.

I am a UNIX/Linux bigot. I also like MacOS. But, I use Windows in my ham shack.

Windows is, by far, the most well supported platform for ham radio 
applications. Yes, I could run them in a virtual machine or an emulator in 
another OS, but why?

Don't pick your OS first. Choose the apps you want first and see what the 
common denominator OS is among those applications. Chances are it will be 
Windows.

Don't play religion with OSes. You will be doing yourself a BIG disservice. Be 
pragmatic.

Re: [Elecraft] k3 and field day

[Anthony Scandurra K4QE]

David,

This applies to ANY competition class radio, not just the K3.

I strongly recommend AGAINST bringing out your radio out unless you know for 
a fact that those who will be using it know how to use it already.

If it is a free-for-all, you should only take out a radio that is 
dead-simple to operate like an ICOM IC-718, a Yaesu FT-840,  or a Yaesu 
FT-747.

Otherwise, you will be constantly be asked questions and/or really 
frustrating operators.  Even worse, they might get the radio into some state 
rendering it unusable (yes, it DOES happen) and without a quick resolution 
because you won't know exactly what they changed.

Sorry, but it is really not worth your trouble unless you know the operators 
are K3-aware.

Subject: [Elecraft] k3 and field day

I will have my k3 at Field Day this year and would like a little
advice.I will have the Yamaha cm500,  a hand held mic plus a set
of paddles.   It will have one multiband antenna.   plus a will
periodically be connected  to a beam when its available.

Since it will also be used by several other ops that probably wont
know the K3 I would like to set it up as user friendly as possible and
lock out as much as possible in the menus to prevent it from being
messed up.

What  settings have others used in this situation.   and what
precautions are there?   and any other thoughts please.



Please answer to the reflector  and not directly to me.
