Sorry for the abbreviated version of the net. Hopefully things will be much quieter next Sunday evening. We have a really great group of folks checking in, and I encourage everyone in the Midwest and adjoining areas to check in next week. As a reminder, if you go to https://netlogger.org at the net starting time and look for the 80M Elecraft SSB Net, you should see the frequency we are using that evening, if we must QSY again due to busy frequencies. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE __ 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] Elecraft 80M SSB Net Announcement
Please join us on 3803kHz plus (not minus) QRM (see the Netlogger discussion, below), 9PM ET Sunday (0100Z Monday). Note that the net stays on the same local time, when we switch back and forth to/from Daylight time, so the UTC time changes, but not the local time. As daylight persists more into the evening, we may find it more difficult to conduct the net at its regular time. For the time being, let's keep it at 9PM ET, as that is getting late on a 'school night' for a lot of folks, as it is. Your net control this week will be Dave, N8SBE. The group that meets on 3803 kHz before us has been wrapping up operations promptly at or before 9PM ET. There is also another group that normally comes on at 10PM ET, so we need to make sure to wrap up operations by 10PM ET. If any stations wish to continue past that time, please QSY to a clear frequency. If you are a US General class licensee, please ensure that your dial is accurately calibrated and that your transmitter/amplifier combination is clean and free of splatter, since we will be operating LSB within 3 kHz of the lower band edge of the 80M US General class band. I'm using Netlogger, so if you go to netlogger.org and look for the 80M Elecraft SSB Net, you will be able to see the exact frequency we've settled on for the evening. If we find 3803 kHz busy, we will move UP the band a few kHz, so we can stay in the 80M US General class band. Hope to see you this evening on the net. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE __ 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] Band-specific low output
A momentary hi SWR can cause a severe fold-back on power out on the K3, which can take several tens of seconds of subsequent transmission to sort out. Changing bands or cycling power can also reset this behavior. I had an intermittent on one of my antennas that would trigger this behavior. It's really annoying, but I guess it's better than blowing the finals. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE On 2024-05-05 22:27, Roger Rose wrote: I had a weird thing happen with my K3 this morning. I tried to check into a regional 75 meter net this morning and they couldn’t hear me. I looked at the display and had no power output deflection. I’m using the rear apron mic connection and I’ve had problems with it coming unplugged, but that wasn’t it. I looked at the meter on my external tuner and it showed a tiny bit of output so it wasn’t a mic issue. I moved up the band and changed to CW. I was set for 100 watts and I was showing 50. I changed to 40 and had the full 100 watts out. Moved back to 75 and then I had full output. Powered it off and back on…still good.

Re: [Elecraft] elecraft net?
The 20M SSB Net meets on Sunday afternoons at 1800 UTC on 14.3035 MHz The NCS is usually Eric, WB9JNZ, in Illinois and often assisted with relay stations in the NE and SW USA. The 40M SSB Net meets on Sunday afternoons at 1900 UTC on 7.280 MHz The NCS is usually Steve, WM6P, in Georgia. The 80M SSB Net meets on Sunday evenings at 900pm ET on 3.803 MHz The NCS is usually Dave, N8SBE, in SE Michigan. Due to the regional nature of 80M, most check ins are from the NE, E Coast, and Midwest, USA. If someone would like to host a W Coast version of the 80M net say, at 9pm PT, I think it would be most welcome for those that haven't been able to get into the E Coast version of the net. Finally, at 2000 UTC on Sunday afternoons, there is an Elecraft Zoom meeting. If you go to K8NU's QRZ page, you will see information on how to log in to the Zoom meeting. Hope that helps, -- Dave, N8SBE On 2024-05-04 17:08, Fred Jensen wrote: Kevin, KD5ONS, in OR runs a CW net on 20 [14050 +/-] at 2000Z? and another on 7050 or close at 2300Z on Sun.

Very nice hearing from everyone tonight. I hope to see all of you again. The net concluded at 09:26 PM ET. Conditions were noisy this evening for some stations, with lightning in the NE and GA off-shore area. The summer season is coming on. We have a really great group of folks checking in, and I encourage everyone in the Midwest and adjoining areas to check in next week. As a reminder, if you go to https://netlogger.org at the net starting time and look for the 80M Elecraft SSB Net, you should see the frequency we are using that evening, if we must QSY again due to busy frequencies. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE __ 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] Elecraft 80M SSB Net Announcement
Please join us on 3803kHz plus (not minus) QRM (see the Netlogger discussion, below), 9PM ET Sunday (0100Z Monday). Note that the net stays on the same local time, when we switch back and forth to/from Daylight time, so the UTC time changes, but not the local time. As daylight persists more into the evening, we may find it more difficult to conduct the net at its regular time. For the time being, let's keep it at 9PM ET, as that is getting late on a 'school night' for a lot of folks, as it is. Your net control this week will be Dave, N8SBE. The group that meets on 3803 kHz before us has been wrapping up operations promptly at or before 9PM ET. There is also another group that normally comes on at 10PM ET, so we need to make sure to wrap up operations by 10PM ET. If any stations wish to continue past that time, please QSY to a clear frequency. If you are a US General class licensee, please ensure that your dial is accurately calibrated and that your transmitter/amplifier combination is clean and free of splatter, since we will be operating LSB within 3 kHz of the lower band edge of the 80M US General class band. I'm using Netlogger, so if you go to netlogger.org and look for the 80M Elecraft SSB Net, you will be able to see the exact frequency we've settled on for the evening. If we find 3803 kHz busy, we will move UP the band a few kHz, so we can stay in the 80M US General class band. Hope to see you this evening on the net. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE __ 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] Mysterious K3 Symptoms - RFI?
Try upgrading your WiFi to 5 GHz, which has a few hundred channels available. 2.4 GHz Wifi has only a dozen channels, and practically, you can only use 3 of them in a crowded situation, due to overlap of adjacent channels. 2.4 GHz WiFi is a disaster in crowded situations, as you've found out. Moving to 5 GHz units will solve all your WiFi over-crowding situations. If you have an Android phone, download WiFi Analyer app so you can see the channels in use around you, both 2.4 and 5 GHz. I use an eero mesh WiFi 6 network, and there is no latency due to the WiFi, which is actually capable of higher speeds than our ISP, which is 300 Mb up/dn fiber-to-the-home (upgradable to 1 Gb up/dn without any hardware upgrades). Any wired ethernet in my house is 1 Gb, which has much less interference potential than the older 100 Mb stuff. I use shielded metal-case Netgear routers. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE On 2024-03-13 12:58, Bayard Coolidge, N1HO via Elecraft wrote: Unfortunately, with the high population density in my immediate neighborhood, especially with 150+ condominium apartments right next door, I have a difficult time getting a reliable wi-fi connection to my home network. I'm about 900 feet (240m) west of the Intracoastal Waterway, and have 2, 3, 5 and 7 floor condo buildings between me and the ICW. To the north, west and south, I have single-family homes. Along the south (i.e., rear) side of our house lot, I have 7.5kV 3-phase power lines overhead, which feed the homes on the block south of us; we're fed by underground feeders installed 2 years ago. To make matters more interesting, we have a steel "ridgepole" running the length of the house, atop the actual conventional wooden ridgepole, which supports the curved concrete tiles at the top of the roof. I suspect that noise is coupling from it onto my TWP Ethernet line as well. I used the simple/cheap MFJ clamp-on chokes at both the shack end and the end in the den where it's plugged into the ISP's modem/router.

After I got it home, I tried to check the firmware level, only to find out that I could see the prompt from the KAT500, but I couldn't talk to it. It turned out that the FET in the input side of the PC DATA jack was blown, likely from static charge at the 'super station' and they had sold the KAT500 to my intermediate owner without telling him it had a blown PC DATA port. I asked Elecraft support for the part number for the FET, ordered a few from Mouser, and replaced it (it's an SMD device, so not for the faint of heart) and that cured the communication issue. Of course, your mileage may vary. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE __ 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] Piggy back KPA 1500 onto KPA 100
I know that one of the Fred Cady books I have here shows that hookup with either the KPA500/KAT500 'power combo' or the KPA1500 w/ATU, so yes, it is supported. As far as ATU's go, you should only have the ATU in the unit that is connected to the coax going to your antenna enabled. All others downstream from there should be bypassed, as they are looking into a nominal 50-ohm load. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE On 2024-03-11 15:28, Karl W Hubbard via Elecraft wrote: This question may have been answered in the past.

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 no PC comms
There is a 3.5mm stereo jack on the back of the KAT500 labeled 'PC Data'. You need an Elecraft KXUSB cable, which is the same USB to serial cable used on the KX2, to talk to the KAT500 from your PC. Unlink the KUSB, which has a USB A connector on one end, and a 9-pin serial connector on the other, the KXUSB has a USB A connector on one end, and a 3.5mm stereo plug on the other, so there are only 3 connections - GND, RX, and TX. Hope that helps, -- Dave, N8SBE On 2024-03-10 13:33, Mike Dodd wrote: Elecraft is taking a l_o_n_g time to repair the USB port on my K4d, so I bought a used K3 (non-s) as a backup rig.

[Elecraft] Elecraft 80M SSB Net Announcement
Please join us on 3803kHz (NOTE THE NEW FREQUENCY) plus (not minus) QRM (see the Netlogger discussion, below), 9PM ET Sunday (0100Z Monday). Note that the net stays on the same local time, when we switch back and forth to/from Daylight time, so the UTC time changes, but not the local time. As daylight persists more into the evening, we may find it more difficult to conduct the net at its regular time. For the time being, let's keep it at 9PM ET, as that is getting late on a 'school night' for a lot of folks, as it is. Your net control this week will be Dave, N8SBE. After some discussion, we've decided to try moving from 3806 kHz to 3803 kHz. The past few weeks there has been some sort of noise heard on 3806 kHz by East coast stations, making it difficult to hear net control. The group that meets on 3803 kHz has been wrapping up operations promptly at 9pm ET (so far), so it should be clear for our use then. I'll keep a watch to see if the net that normally occupies 3803 kHz the hour before our time stays with local time, or moves with the change to daylight saving time. If they move their local time, it will place them on top of our 9PM ET net, so we'll need to deal with that if it occurs. It's typical for 80M nets to use local time, as they tend to be regional in nature, not nation- or world-wide. If you are a US General class licensee, please ensure that your dial is accurately calibrated and that your transmitter/amplifier combination is clean and free of splatter, since we will be operating LSB within 3 kHz of the lower 80M US General class band edge. I'm using Netlogger, so if you go to netlogger.org and look for the 80M Elecraft SSB Net, you will be able to see the exact frequency we've settled on for the evening. If we find 3803 kHz busy, we will move UP the band a few kHz, so we can stay in the 80M US General class band.

Re: [Elecraft] KH1 -
You already answered your own question. Note that the entry says "GET only", which means you can read the limits, but cannot set them. I doubt that Elecraft will publicly release a firmware that would allow anyone to fiddle with the transmit limits on their own, since that could lead to folks just 'opening up' the radio and transmitting out of band, either by accident, or on purpose. Please contact supp...@elecraft.com, and see if they have a KH1 firmware download for you with Thailand transmit limits set in it already. I know they support MARS station requests with firmware for some of their other rigs. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE On 2024-03-06 01:27, JCG wrote: The KH1 seems to fulfil my need of a 40 to 15M CW QRP rig with SSB and AM reception capability.

Re: [Elecraft] O.T. Increase inDigital data on 30m
Dale, It's peer-to-peer Winlink stations using VARA HF modulation, in the 500 Hz BW mode. See www.winlink.org for details. The EDM-Target-Stations (EDM = Emergency Digital Messaging) group was preparing for an exercise today, from 6am to 6pm local time (in each time zone), to practice sending check-in messages via VARA HF P2P to target stations from field stations. This is in case of widespread Internet outages, especially in a disaster area, to enable written traffic to/from that area. VARA HF is a software modem substitute for the pricey PACTOR modem hardware, and is finding favor with amateur stations and government SHARES stations as a lower-cost alternative. What you were hearing were folks unfamiliar with the process of setting up their stations to do P2P messaging, to give them an opportunity to work the kinks out before the actual exercise today. Also, the assigned frequencies were moved on 30M to avoid other digital services, like FT8/FT4, etc., so that's likely why you noticed a change in the location of digital traffic on that band. It's not easy finding open frequencies for an exercise of this sort, especially because today was the NA RTTY QSO Party (which doesn't take place on 30M because it is a contest) that completely wiped out the digital portions of the bands that we normally use for Winlink messaging. So it was difficult to work around the KW RTTY stations, to say the least. The EDM-Target-Stations group is looking for more volunteers to run Winlink VARA HF P2P target and field stations. They have an email group on groups.io that you can join. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE On 2024-02-24 13:07, Dale Boresz wrote: Hello, For the last week or so, I've been seeing/hearing a lot of digital data on the lower 20 KHz of the 30m band.

The group that meets on 3803 kHz has been wrapping up operations promptly at 9pm ET (so far), so it should be clear for our use then. If you are a US General class licensee, please ensure that your dial is accurately calibrated and that your transmitter/amplifier combination is clean and free of splatter, since we will be operating LSB within 3 kHz of the lower 80M US General class band edge. I'm using Netlogger, so if you go to netlogger.org and look for the 80M Elecraft SSB Net, you will be able to see the exact frequency we've settled on for the evening. If we find 3803 kHz busy, we will move UP the band a few kHz, so we can stay in the 80M US General class band.

A shout out to the folks that checked in with classic TenTec equipment (a first in my memory of being NCS of this net), and in particular, Bart, in Murfreesboro, TN, my old stomping ground. I got my Novice license there when I was in high school in 1970. We have a really great group of folks checking in, and I encourage anyone in the Midwest and adjoining areas to try to check in next week. We also experimented with the Utah SDR#1, and were able to hear a number of us on the SDR. Later, other stations in the western half of the US covered us up on the SDR, although we couldn't hear them direct here in the Midwest. Also, a couple of stations complained of a 'roaring' noise (like an open mic) on the frequency, which we decided was likely foreign broadcast (or jamming of a foreign broadcast - take your pick). If this persists, we may yet have to go looking for another frequency. I couldn't hear it at my QTH in Ann Arbor, MI, due to a persistent S7 noise floor, here.

Re: [Elecraft] Origin of Signal-Fine Structures in SSB Pass Band Waterfall, mainly 80/40m
Andy, You may wish to subscribe to this Google group: ham...@googlegroups.com and pose your questions there. There are a lot of folks on that list that are interested in scientific investigations into radio propagation anomalies. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE On 2024-01-06 14:29, Andy via Elecraft wrote: Hi Chris, Many thanks for your interesting EMI focused response. I had already some experts indicating this possibility of potential EMI originbut no... Yes, I agree EMI is a tricky issue as per standards/regulations/politics/ and technology. In some areas it is not main stream interest of some industries to avoid disturbance/interference in HF.-Spectrum. I am an EMC professional since 40 years.. EMI/RFI/EMC I can rule out because: 1.) The effect was also seen recently by a German HAM in a very quiet QTH 2.) I checked the radios (all RX ok on Dummy Load),. The effect it is not only visible on K3S P3 , but also on FTDX101MP, and direct front end sampling SDR RX Perseus. 3.) I took my mobile HF car setup and operated RX from separated battery, in very quiet location , and I could once see this propagation effect. So the propagation questions remain. Questions: 1. Is this an indication of Multi-Path Reception? May be with different propagation modes at that time over certain distances possible? 2. Is this therefore, e.g., based on delay times (phase/arrival time differences) of reflections from different ionospheric layers ( e.g. f1, f2 etc.) ? 3. Is this based on quasi simultaneous occurrences of skywave, NVIS and may be even groundwave mode ? 4.)

Digital signals (square waves, waveforms with sharp edges) have very high spectral content (_many_ harmonics), so you may see many lines at constant frequency spacing all over the HF spectrum and beyond. Switching power supplies (inside electronic devices, wall-warts, etc), and digital signals from monitors, computers, routers, coffee makers, washing machines, (seems everything that plugs in these days has microprocessors), LED lighting, etc. can all cause interference like this. These sources may also shift or drift (slowly shift) due to changes in temperature or operating (power supply/load) conditions in the digital devices. In my experience the root causes of this kind of RFI are usually the digital devices, and possibly poor design for attenuation of the harmonics resulting from the oscillators generating the broadband interference lines. Not all oscillators are crystal based BTW, so they may have significant change in frequency over short or longer time spans. L-C and R-C circuits are just drifty. BTW, I would also try to see if the lines are from within the radio. Put the radio on a dummy load and look at the spectrum. If it is clean, then you can probably eliminate the problem as being internal (either hardware or signal processing software). Knowing Elecraft, I suspect that the problem will NOT be inside the radio, but it is a place to start. The solution to external RFI _should _be in the design phase of these devices. Design should include "right at the source" shielding of high frequency oscillators, power supplies and digital circuits which should use circuit layout which shields clock and data circuits with ground lines right in the PC board. If you let the signals escape the board, you now have to add ferrites and shielding on the wires leading to peripheral devices. It is far better to prevent the emissions at the source. But it seems to be cheaper to some manufacturers to ignore the problems and trust that your RFI generating device will escape scrutiny of regulators. Devices using high frequency signals are required by the FCC to be inspected and to have limits on their emissions. In practice it seems many devices, perhaps especially from overseas, have somehow eluded these certifications and can become real "firestorms" of RFI. Here in Colorado we have experience with grow-light power supplies that have strong emissions for miles around some "greenhouses" nearly wiping out the HF spectrum. In my own home, when I had ADSL/VDSL

Go to File/Settings/Audio tab, and ensure that the Input is set to K3 Output (USB AUDIO CODEC) and the Output is set to K3 Input (USB AUDIO CODEC). Both channels should be set to 'Left'. The names could have been changed, but IIRC, that is the default names given by Windows when you plug in the USB cable from the K3. If instead, you have the default Windows spkr/mic set, then you likely are decoding via the hot mic on your PC, but when you try to transmit, WSJT-X will object. Hope that helps. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE On 2024-01-03 11:34, Pete Smith N4ZR wrote: I just moved everything to a new Windows 10 computer, and seem to have scrambled the USB connection between the computer and my K3. The receive bargraph is pinned at 85 dB, but the wide graph display shows only a relatively few, weak signals, and when I enable transmit, WSJT-X throws an error message "Error in Sound Input." I suspect the latter probably means that the settings for the USB port connecting to the K3 are messed up, but don't know how to correct this. Can anyone help? 73, Pete N4ZR __ 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 n8...@densbe.com __ 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

Signals were good all around. Thanks to Eric, WB9JNZ for the relay assist this evening. 80M was in good condition. Very nice hearing from the new check ins and hope to see all of you again. The net concluded at 9:39 PM ET. In spite of the recent frequency change, the turnout continues to be very encouraging. We ended up on 3803 kHz tonight at Carl's K8NU suggestion/observation that 3803 cleared up just before 9pm ET last week, and it appeared to do so again this week. We did hear another weak (to us) conversation that started to get stronger later in the net, so if 80M continues to improve we may not be able to hold 3803, either. Time will tell. I'll continue to monitor adjacent frequencies to see if we can find another one close by that will work better for everyone. In the meantime we will continue to attempt to meet on 3806 kHz. If you go to https://netlogger.org at the net starting time, you should see the frequency we are using that evening. Looking ahead, we will NOT meet on Christmas Eve or New Year's eve, so this was the last 80M Elecraft SSB Net of this year.

Re: [Elecraft] [Elecraft-AX/KX/KH] Elecraft 80M SSB Net Announcement
David, Point taken. We did meet below 3.8 MHz, but there were complaints from US amateurs that we were excluding General class amateurs stateside. Considering that I've never heard anyone trying to check in from GB when we were lower in frequency, I wouldn't expect to see any that early in the evening US-time, although in the winter it is almost 3 hours past sunset for the Midwest USA. Sorry that you feel excluded. I would suggest trying the 20M net on 14.303.5 at 1800 UTC every Sunday. K1NW who is in Rhode Island, frequently turns his antenna towards GB to pick up a station that checks in from there regularly. Hope to hear you on the 20M net. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE On 2023-12-17 13:34, David Pratt wrote: It might be best to refer it as a 75m net, Dave. 3806 kHz excludes folks in the rest of the world where the band is 3.5 to 3.8 MHz. 73 de David G4DMP David Pratt on a Huawei phone.

I asked if 3810 kHz was clear about 850pm, and a station came back and said that there was a group that met there starting at 10pm. I said that we would clear off before 10pm and we did secure the net at 944pm. I did listen to the follow-on net for a while, and there was considerable discussion about letting a net use 'their' frequency, and one station was complaining that he couldn't police their frequency all the time to make sure that it would be free when the group wanted to use it. Seems this group shows up sometime after dinner time and talks sometimes until 6am! They also noted that a Flex net came on earlier on 3810 kHz, and were told by some other station that the frequency was 'in use', so they moved down to 3807 kHz (which of course, caused us to move somewhere else). I've also noted that sometime after the net started that 3803 kHz became clear.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft 80M SSB Net Report
Ed, Yes, you are correct with your estimates of typical range on 80M. It does get better in the winter, where lightning noise which can propagate many hundreds of miles on 80M at night all but disappears. Yes, a 2nd West Coast net would be nice. I haven't heard anyone step up yet to host such a net. Frankly, I ended up with this gig, because the previous net control went MIA (I think he got a job overseas), and I guess I just took over the reigns. I don't have a monster contest-style station by any stretch of the imagination, and if someone else with a better station situation wanted to give it a try, I certainly wouldn't stand in their way. Having said that, I can say I appreciate the opportunity to serve in some capacity, and it has given me good experience as a net control of an informal net, and I'm sure others would enjoy the experience. Maybe you'd like to start an AK-local 80M Elecraft SSB Net, to capture those in your area that are using/running or are interested in working Elecraft stations on the air? 73, -- Dave, N8SBE On 2023-11-13 11:45, Ed Cole wrote: Often read the reports from Elecraft Nets and kind of wondered what the "usual" maximum range for stations on the 80m SSB Net? I'm in southcentral AK so do not expect to ever hear the net which appears centered on MI (I was K8MWA 1958-1968 in MI). Late night 80m prop often brings in West Coast stations (W7 and W6) so that would suggest a couple thousand miles. Normal daytime 80m is about 400 miles up here. Also seems as a West Coast 80m net could co-exist with the current Elecraft 80m SSB Net. Be nice if NC were located in NW (Seattle?) as that might reach us 1300 miles to the north. I have checked in the 20m SSB Net in the past with 100w and 3-element yagi at 50-foot. Building a 1200w linear this winter (might improve chances??). I mostly do VHF-SSB or EME but with the great cycle-25 might enjoy what it brings in! 73, Ed - KL7UW https://www.kl7uw.com/ __ 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 n8...@densbe.com __ 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] K3S Split Operation
If you have the CW decoder turned on, you won't see the TX frequency shown in the lower half (VFO B) of the K3 display. Otherwise, the VFO B frequency is shown in the lower half of the display. When you turn split on, there is a little triangle flag under the "TX" at the right end of the display that will point to the VFO B indicator, showing that when you transmit, VFO B will control the frequency. Turn split off, and the flag will point to the VFO A indicator again, showing that VFO A will control both the RX and TX frequencies. Hope that helps. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE On 2023-11-06 08:26, Rich wrote: The fact that SPLIT is displayed on the screen tells you that you are transmitting on VFO B, the TX freq does not appear in the VFO A screen position when you TX You do not need the REV button at all.

Re: [Elecraft] [Elecraft-AX/KX/KH] Elecraft 80M SSB Net Announcement
Steve, Sorry we missed you. I had thought briefly of listening to the Utah SDR, although I've never had much luck with anything but the SDR #2 on 20M with the omnidirectional antenna, during the 20M SSB net earlier in the day. But, considering you are located in Utah, I might be able to pull you in on whichever Utah SDR is on 80M. Hopefully, I can remember to try that next week. Please keep trying, and we will try to leave space for your check in. I tend to ask one or more stations to act as relays, but I seldom get anyone further west than Wisconsin to act as a rely towards the west from my QTH in Ann Arbor, MI. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE On 2023-10-22 21:20, Stephen Peterson wrote: Hi Dave and guys, Steve, Ki7L, here.

Re: [Elecraft] K4D USB ports

Re: [Elecraft] [Elecraft-K4] K4 AT tune problems with KAT500 firmware 213
Bob, Yeah, I flashed to 2.13 from 1.75 this weekend, and at first things seemed to be OK, but last night when running the 80M SSB net, I kept having the tuning change unexpectedly and my KPA500 kept faulting out. This was the issue I was seeing on 2.05, which caused me to move back to 1.75 several months ago. I had not had any recent issues on 80M until re-flashing to 2.13. It got so bad, that at some point, the K4D stopped putting out ANY power, and I had to re-boot the K4D to get my power back. I don't use the TUNE LP, but rather hit the TUNE button on the KAT500, then tap TUNE on the K4D to start the tuning cycle. The K4D ATU is bypassed. No, I haven't erased all my KAT5000 tune memories - that would entail a lengthy re-learning process that I was not keen to do, yet. There is definitely a change in tuning behavior going from 1.75 to 2.13, and at least for me, it's definitely NOT an improvement. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE On 2023-09-25 00:05, Bob Wilson - N6TV wrote: Are you holding down TUNE LP for the entire tune cycle, waiting for a match? That's not how it works. Also, did you try clearing tuner memories as I previously suggested? Or using a dummy load? It may help since the tuner may start the search at a poor match solution from memory. Does the same problem happen if you use CW mode or FSK mode to produce a carrier (tap XMIT in FSK)? If so, and if the K4 ATU bypassed, it sounds like you have found a new bug in the new KAT500 firmware that cannot be resolved by posting to this group. Anyone else here using KAT500 Beta firmware 2.13? Do you see the same problem? Please report all the details to Elecraft support. They may ask for a log trace if the KAT500 supports that. Good luck. 73, Bob, N6TV On Sun, Sep 24, 2023, 8:48 PM Dave Barnes - WB4KDI wrote: Bob the KAT500 tuner works perfectly with firmware 175. Firmware 213 seems to converge to an asymptotic reactance instead of 50 ohm match. The bad reactance is what causes the K4 to abort the tune cycle. The KAT500 stays in tune unless I clear it. I've checked everything else numerous times. Yes the K4 tuner can find a match always with no problem, Bob, the only thing I am changing is the KAT500 firmware. No cables or settings on the K4 are changed. Getting the hi swr message for tune mode and aborting the K4 tune cycle is going to make it very hard to use an external tuner automatic or otherwise. What does the K4 need to do about high swr in tune mode? Unless there were some hardware changes to the KAT500 that I am unaware I suspect the KAT500 2xx firmware has a serious bug. 73, Bob, N6TV _._,_._,_ - Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
