Re: [Elecraft] K3 Drive Levels and the SPE 1.3K-FA

Thanks for the good info Keith - I quit using 12w yrs ago as one E'craft 
tech told me after the 1st one blew.


Also heard from another that I could turn the fans on all the time which 
should help as normally they are only on when you go to 13w and up.


Will play with them - t u 73 Dwight NS9I

You can play with the Config Menu watt meter calibration high and low

IE where the Low power amp (LPA) switches to 100 amp (KPA3). This 
happens at 12W "indicated".

The two Calibration numbers are for all bands!

So; Go into config menu WMTR LP (below 12W) or HP (above 12W). (note 6 
meters switches at 8W)!

Make a note of both numbers so you can put them back!
Extreme numbers to get the KPA3 to click in at lower actual power 
levels would be to set both for 180 (max).
You will have to use an external watt-meter to see what is going on as 
the K3 internal watt-meter readout is all out of calibration now!!
I just played with a radio and it switches over at about 7 watts with 
both numbers at 180

Have fun!

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Drive Levels and the SPE 1.3K-FA

[dgb]

Yes, but, that also attenuates receive. I know, not much but I need 
every fraction of a db on 80 and 160 for those weak ATNO's. Yes I know I 
could switch one in/out but, remoting adds another can of worms, 
especially when remoting.


I received some excellent advice from Fabio IK6ZER on the SPE reflector 
and think that will alleviate any further LPA problems. We'll see, I get 
the K3 back today.


Email me off-list and I will share that.

When I first got the amp I made the mistake of running it in the high

warranty repair, and was an expensive lesson learned.

Over the  course of the 3 yrs. that I've owned the amp,  I have blown 4
LPA's in the K3 running it at 8-11w. With latest repair the tech
informed me that the "LPA is not rated for continuous duty at upper
power levels (like the digital Modes)" They suggested running 13w vs 11w
so the LPA wouldn't be used. If I do that it over-drives the SPE in the
mid-range.

What is my suggested recourse?

Sorry for reposting over and over. For some reason I keep getting html

I am officially a serious geezer with hearing aids now. However, I am
having a problem getting a "streamer" device working with my K3.
Supposedly it can be connected to the headphone output and it will
transmit audio via Bluetooth directly to my hearing aids. It works fine
when I plug it into my computer's phone jack, but when I connect it to
the K3 -- either the front or rear phone jacks or the speaker jack or
even the Line Out connector -- the audio is very weak and distorted.

The device is a Resound Streamer II. Has anyone used this or something
similar successfully? More to the point, any idea why it doesn't work?

nothing to do with the transformers under test; I get the same result when
running the KPA500 at 200W directly into the dummy load. After restart the
K3 shows no sign of problem unless the 200W endurance test is run again.
Then I increased power just a little bit so that the 100W stage kicked in. I
got 300W out of the KPA500, and now the K3 keeps going without shutting
down. I can see how 12W may be a bit much for the driver stage, but if so,
shouldn't the 100W stage kick in sooner? Also, I expected the K3/KPA500
combo to be able to produce any power level I wanted within its range. What
I see is that when the 100W stage kicks in, the output (as seen on an analog
meter) makes a big jump so that certain power levels cannot be achieved.

Richard,

That delay is stated to "cover all bases" to include weekends.

There are several reasons.
First, there is simply the time to assemble your order and ship it.
Second is the time to process your order and get the paperwork from sales
to shipping.
Thirdly - yes, you order will be run through a final test before shipping.

Other delays may be possible if some part of your order is not currently
in stock, and in that event you will be notified and you will be asked
whether to ship-now, or hold until everything is available.

Shipping time is not included.  Normal orders ship UPS Ground, and if you
are not in-state for California, UPS can take another 5-7 days to arrive.
If you are in a hurry, choose USPS Priority Mail and it will take 2 to 3
days.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3s & remote coax switching

Question: Is there a remote coax switch
that handles at least 5, preferably up to
eight antennas and does not need a control
line to the remote switch.

My station: At the moment I have an
Ameritron RCS-8V remote coax switch. I
also have a remote ICE Model 516 antenna
switch.

I use the ICE to switch between the
triband or the Ameritron controlled
antennas.

The Ameritron is controlled by 350' of CAT
cable, hardline is from the house to the
switch. My Ameritron controlled antennas
are wires in trees, I also have a
tribander which when I use it, I manually
switch. All the antennas are tuned so
there is no tuner other than the one in
the K3s.

I select the desired antenna thusly:

160M - 160 wire
80M --- 80 wire
40M --- 40 wire
30M --- 30 wire
20M --- 20 wire & tribander
17M --- 80 wire
15M --- 40 wire & Tribander
12M --- 80 wire & 160 wire
10M --  160 wire & Tribander
6M  160 wire & Tribander*

* I have a homebrew addition of W1ZR's 6M
passive elements added to the tribander.

There are two transmit coax that exit the
house; one to hardline leading to the wire
antennas, the other is to the tribander.

So here's the dilemma... I'm thinking of
replacing the remote Ameritron switch with
one that will automatically switch
antennas as I switch bands, controlled by
the K3s band change. If I decide to switch
between the Tribander or wire, it would be
nice to do that at the touch of a button
but the ICE does a fine job.

My Alpha 77SX is incredibly forgiving and
if I don't make a proper antenna
selection, nothing fails & I correct the
problem & go. I am though considering the
new Elecraft KPA 1500 amp (Do I really
want to sell the SX or not... That is the
question to my getting the new amp...) so
why not make antenna switching foolproof
and get an automatic remote antenna
switch. I would though like to have one
that does not require a control line.

Suggestions, thoughts?

73,

Richard - I second your report, there is no fine adjustment for the

When the band is noisy, I have to reduce LIN OUT to 01 or 
alternatively reduce the overall system gain with the RF gain (which 
in the case of the K3 and K3s is IF gain).


When operating meteor scatter on 2M with an Elecraft K144XV 
transverter I had to reduce the audio drive from the JT65 software to 
50% to prevent RF power out overshoot and hunting, typical in 
over-driven closed loop systems. This allowed me to advance LIN IN and 
the end result was the power detection system of the K3s settled down.


There are work-arounds.

Hello Elecraft,

When feeding the audio from the K3S USB port to the CPU, the K3S audio

Example, even with my CPU's sound card set at the lowest possible 
level of
"01" my K3S is hitting the JT-65 software with a super strong signal 
that
is  much higher than the software wants to see and performance is 
degraded.

The same is true when operating RTTY using MMTTY or 2Tone software.

The USB audio output on the K3S needs to be adjustable in the K3S

it was on the K3 Serial port.

I wrote to you a few months ago about this without a positive reply.
Please address this serious issue.

What's being discussed here (I think) is setting up one's own station 
for remote operation, perhaps from a hotel room while traveling, or 
one located in a quiet location that is not bothered by RF noise from 
neighbors, and where antennas are not limited by local restrictions. 
Setting up a station for remote operation is a real engineering

have a great deal of respect for those hams who have successfully done 
so.

Has been working good till all of a sudden. What happens is when I turn 
on the Mini, it goes into the Term mode as normal and I can hear stuff 
from the K3 at home BUT the Mini won't control the K3. The display is 
stuck on it's boot-up screen and the knobs does nothing, no control. I 
think the K3 hasn't shut off at home nor can I shut it off with no 
control from here. I have it hooked to a PC at home and a laptop here. 
Connecting with Teamviewer works well.

[Elecraft] Remoteing with the K3 Mini and the 1238 Twins

['DGB']

I am getting my remote setup.

For hardware at the remote site (home) I am using a K3, Palstar HF-Auto, 
SPE Expert 1.3k - FA Amp., Green Heron Products for Rotor control and 
their wireless remote boxes for switching antennas, and one Remoterig 
1238. I have all this connected to a PC that is connected to the internet.


From the control site (away from home) I will use a K3 Mini, another 
Remoterig 1238, and my laptop. I am able to control all my antennas with 
a client program from GH thru the internet. Last year I was using a 
KPA500 and KAT500 and was using Elecraft's client program to control them.


What I'm wondering is how I can control the HF-Auto and the SPE from the 
control site as neither have similar client programs available as the 
Elecraft stuff did?


Anyone else with a similar setup?

Thanks Dwight NS9I

All you have to do is remove the screws and pull the front panel board 
off.  There are rectangular cutouts on the bottom which can be used to 
pry the front panel off with a screwdriver.  The many pins provide a 
good grip, so you have to pry it off a bit.


With the K3 (not K3S) you had to remove the left side panel to allow 
you to remove one screw from the RF Board to 2-D connector which 
interfered with the removal of the Front Panel assembly, but the K3S 
has a notch in the board and that step is not necessary.

Apparently you don't know Elecraft's engineering process.  Many "Elecraft" products were

say about that:

"A major milestone in our history was the KDSP2 option for the K2. Lyle Johnson, 
KK7P, became known to us *after* he had mostly completed this highly versatile DSP unit. 
He reverse-engineered the auxBus protocol and made the KDSP2 behave as if it were a KAF2, 
which plugged into the same spot. He showed it to us, and we immediately adopted both the 
product and Lyle himself."

Lyle now works for Elecraft from the comfort of his home here in Tucson..(What I call, 
"distributed engineering.")

Many other "Elecraft" designs were done similarly, by someone else, PAs 
included.

BTW QRO is about being heard.  I'm often amused by the digital mode crowd, who profess that one 
doesn't need "power" to get through, i.e., "I work the world with 5 W on ESP (your 
favorite mode here)."  Some of them even make imaginary QSOs on EME.

less sensitive and sophisticated, e.g. digital filters, digital noise 
reduction, etc., you needed power to get in the front ends of DX receivers.  We 
don’t need that power anymore except to contest, i.e. blow out the ops with 
less power.  To me this don’t seem like the Elecraft ethic.  They aren’t QRP 
snobs, and they seem to value skill, intelligence, and cunning, rather than 
brute power.   Whole big amp thing struck me as odd.

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 question

You don't have to play with that 15 pin acc. or anything else. There is 
a program on the Elecraft site that you host to the control site. Just 
pecking a button in the program will turn it on/off. I used it for 3 
mos, 1200 miles away from here.

connecting the  8 pin line on the 15 pin ACC connector on the KPA500 to pin 11, 
I was hoping that there would be an undocumented way for the KAT500.

Is it possible to be able to power  on and off the KAT500 through the K3?

Short answer: No.

  From the KAT500 manual:

"Connect to the station 11 to 15 VDC power supply with the white striped lead 
to the positive terminal. Do not take this power from the K3’s 12 VDC output 
connector, even if it has been upgraded for 1 Ampere.”

Hope this helps,

If that fixes it, of course that is likely a bug, but at least you

I have not heard any other reports of abnormal behavior with the

When I move the rocker switch to RIT/XIT on the K-POD and turn the

on the K-POD does not reliability change the value of the RIT/XIT. 
It will tune some but not consistently.  Turning the RIT/XIT control 
from the front panel of the K3 works normally.


VFO A and VFO B respond to turning the knob on the K-POD normally.

With the rocker switch in XIT/RIT position on the K-POD and the K3 
RIT/XIT function turned off then the K-POD tuning knob adjusts VFO A 
in coarse mode.  This is normal for the way I have the K3 programmed.


I assume this must be a bug in the 5.50 beta firmware which I have 
installed.


As a side note installing the surface mount resister in the K3 is 
not for those inexperienced in micro soldering.

Good afternoon all.
I have just implemented a Remote Rig Setup which is working, more or less.
(No PTT on Mic for some reason)
My Control Station consists of a K3s, P3, MicroKeyer II, StationMaster,
Remote Rig Box, 1K-FA, Rotator control and a Logging PC (MAC running MLDX)

Every time I use the RemoteRig setup to control my remote station (a K3, P3,
Microkeyer II, RRC) I have to mostly disconnect my 'Normal' Station and
switch MIC, KEY, PTT, etc from the K3s to the RRC. This is a pain -- and
I've already broken cables after multiple connects/disconnects which have
led to hours of frustration trying to find out what didn't work any more?!

My ideal scenario would to simply 'Plumb in' the RemoteRig box into my
existing K3, MicroKeyer II, StationMaster, 1K-FA set up so the only action
needed by me was to hold the MENU button of the K3s to switch the rig into
Terminal mode.

I guess it comes down to whether all the elements can share the K3 ports of
various types?
Has anyone done this?

Is this possible or is this fantasy?

What you're seeing sounds like IR drop in the DC cable. How long is 
the DC cable between the K3 and the power supply? What wire gauge? Is

This is a great application for a short length of #10 twisted pair

Re: [Elecraft] How does one get Elecraft's attention?

['DGB']

The resident expert/inventor is Brandon. He can be reached by simply 
calling Elecraft. I spent many hrs. on the phone with him when I first 
got my K3S/Mini and remote boxes. I'd advice you to install Teamviewer 
on both PC's before calling him. GL.

have K3 emulation, but it really doesn't look anything like a real K3.  It
connects to N1MM, but that's about it.

I have been very disappointed that the K3/0 Mini, while working well
as a simple remote head for the K3, has no native ability to connect
to other software that one might use at the control point, and no one
at Elecraft has been able to come up with a solution other than RCForb
which has very limited ability to connect with other software and
hardware, virtually no support and even less in the way of documentation.



Maybe what I'm looking for is simply something that Elecraft can't
supply, in which case, I'm prepared to dump the Elecraft equipment I
have invested in and throw in with Flex and the new Maestro product.
At least Flex returns my email.

I use the internal K3 message memories when operating as DX in an ssb contest.
One of the biggest problem I face is the delay both in initiating the message 
(from an external application) and the delay between the end of the message and 
back in the receive mode.  From experiments, both of these delays seem due to 
the time between the button presses on the K3's front panel.  Granted, there 
may be some time between pushing the appropriate F key in the application 
(Wintest).  But, this only addresses possibly the initiation delay.

Could some method/application be added to upload an externally generated audio 
file, which uses some standard format, into an arbitrarily assigned message?  Or, 
at the very least, provide a means to change the K3 between receive & transmit 
without suffering the delays due to button presses?

For the curious, when running at rates of 300+ QSOs per hour, the delays turn 
out to be significant.

[Elecraft] K3s/0 and RRC's in ARRL DX SSB Contest

['DGB']

Wondering if anyone used the above in the contest with N1MM+ and 
experienced delays after the macro .wav played out? They were long 
enough to where I only heard the very end of my call when a station came 
back to me. I used Audacity to cut the tails off. prior to this.


Also wondered if there was a way to record a wav file directly in MM+ as 
sitting I could sitting in front the K3? The Cntrl Shift F-key routine 
didn't work.


As a side note, also not able to record to the M1-M4 message keys on the 
K3s/0 in cw either as on the K3.

I don't have experience with Remote Rig, and Brandon's suggestions

Those are the only things I can think of at the moment - unless the 
problem is with the receiving station.
One nice thing about remote operation (if the transmitter is really 
a good distance from your control position), you can use another 
receiver and computer to monitor your data mode signals yourself.  A 
modest antenna should do OK for receiving your signal so you may be 
able to 'sneak it' by the HOA or your building manager.  Think 
stealth antennas for portable work.

I have a local AM station on 1450 KHz that produces a -10 dBm into a

making any further checks, that the receiver was just overloaded.

The cracking sound does not sound like any dynamic range problem I have
heard before but I have not taken the time to make any serious tests.

I make these comments because I am not convinced this is any form of
overload and wonder if it could be related to your problem.

Last night I plugged in a new Sony professional headphone and the

Re: [Elecraft] CQ WPX and the KSYN3A board?

[DGB]

I did participate, part time, but weathered thru about 1000 q's. 
Received both boards and installed about 3 hours before the contest.


I was amazed how close qrm could be to a weak signal and not affect it 
at all. Noticeable difference from the old boards indeed! Plus the rig 
seems quieter as well, again great for the weaker signals. A long as the 
qrm wasn't on the exact same frequency,  I was able to filter them out 
to hear the signal of interest!


Nice having a qrm-less rig! Don't have any idea how it would do on ssb. 
I won't find out either, being primarily a cw and digital operator!


Highly recommended up-grade! Thanks Elecraft!

Re: [Elecraft] Fw: Don't have a 50W dummy load

[DGB]

Checked my Cantenna today, 78 ohms.

Took it apart, even measured the raw resistor.

Ordered a replacement from Alan W1GA as someone else mentioned.

eBay # 221724743523 for description and options

Easy disassembly and price war right ... $24.50 shipped.

Thanks for all the info on DL's.

I bought a NARDA 40w load with N-connector good to 12.6 GHz for $40 
(from a friend on-line).

Yeah I had a 100w light bulb and a Heath Cantenna way back

Now mine mostly made by Bird, NARDA, M/A, Midwest MW, etc.  My 500w is 
made by Sierra and I paid maybe $50 at a flea market (it has built-in 
power meter).  SWR is not quite 1:1.00 (1.4 as I recall) - so what.

I use a Phonak accessory called ComPilot that works with my Phonak

to Bluetooth connect to my cell phone on my belt. It also has a 3.5 mm

there needs to be some sort of contest every damned weekend.  Boy do I
relish the old days where there were less than a hand full of contests a
year.  The two main ones were Field Day and Sweepstakes.  If you were
into DX, there was the annual DX contest.

Contests were something SPECIAL those days, and even I took part in
them.  They were fun because they were special.  These days, there's
nothing special at all about them.  You can't even get a meaningful

weak to copy.  They are just another boring noisy weekend when you can't

you will be limited to one mode or the other and switching

[Elecraft] Error message ERR DSE

I am getting the error message only with RTTY.

It don't matter if I run full legal limit or no amp with the rig power 
cranked down to QRP, so it's not RF in the shack problem. It's fine on 
all other modes.


I searched the archives and read reference to a DSP problem  and 
reloaded the firmware several times over the last few weeks. In addition 
I saw reference to re-seating the front panel board. I disassembled the 
K3 today, did that and most all the other connections.


Same symptoms are there.

Running N1MM. The transmissions it occurs on are such as short as W4TV

Only running one cluster and have that filtered so not many spots coming

What logging software are you running and how long are your

with logging software that polls aggressively (or users that

runs the K3's control processor and eventually the garbled input

I searched the archives and read reference to a DSP problem  and
reloaded the firmware several times over the last few weeks. In addition
I saw reference to re-seating the front panel board. I disassembled the
K3 today, did that and most all the other connections.

Same symptoms are there.

The exact err msg is

E 00300 30
ERR DSE

Anyone else had this problem and how was it resolved?

TIA 73 Dwight NS9I

Re: [Elecraft] Remote Knob

[DGB]

I recently acquired one and think it will be great tool in contesting. 
Simple installation. Just connected it in series with my MKII. With it's 
8 buttons, it's all configurable to suit u thru a most any simple 
terminal program. I put mine right next to the right side of the 
keyboard tray, in between the keyboard and mouse, so won't have to reach 
for the radio much or think about it much.

[Elecraft] PR6 6m pre-amp

[DGB]

I have my PR6 preamp hooked up per the docs. I don't have the 6m ant 
connected to ANT2 on the rig (as I've seen in other docs) as I have it 
connected to the KAT500 ANT2 and have the KPA500 in-line as well. I have 
the KAT configured automatically switch to ANT2 when the rig is switched 
to 6m. I also have a 160m rcv antenna connected to the BYPASS IN on the 
preamp and have DIGOUT1 configured to ON on the 6m band and OFF on all 
the other bands. Nothing is connected to BYPASS OUT. I notice an 
increase in gain when keying the RX ANT in when on 6m. There are no sigs 
on 6m right now so I'm wondering if it's working correctly.


Can I assume that the PR6 is seeing the 6m antenna thru the tuner and amp?

[Elecraft] KAT500 Kit Arrives

[DGB]

Just in time for Christmas my KAT500 ser. nr. 0439 arrived via USPS 
today. Had it together in 2 hrs. and hooked up in the station and 
running 1hr. later. Works wonderful. Didn't even have to use the bag of 
extra parts!


Thanks Elecraft ... from a retired Mfg. Engr/Toolmaker of 45 years, I 
must say, one fine piece of precision equipment ... and made in the USA too!

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500

[DGB]

I have currently have a y-cable at the rig for the MH MKII and the 
KPA-500. How will the KAT-500 play into that? A Y-Cable on the KPA-500? 
I see no manual for the KAT-500 yet!
