[Elecraft] Musings about appreciating a particular difference in rx perfomance

2021-06-08 Thread David Windisch
Hi, all concerned:

The performance that cinched the K3 tight for me years ago was using it on
contest-grade antennas 1 to 3 hops from some of those remarkably loud
W2-W3-W8 CW DX contest stations on 40-80-160M.

Using the 200Hz narrow filter in the K3, I could hear weaker CW sigs, with
no keying artifacts, between, eg, W3LPL and K3LR adjacent each other, even
though they pinned the meter thru the wider filters.

The "comparison" rig, a Yazoo '857, was unusable on contest antennas on
contest weekends.

Tks to all those who have described mods to clean up the offshore dirtysig
clickmachines instead of using the artifacts to hold a run frequency.
W8JI.com, for example, has or had mods that clean up the clicks produced by
the venerable FT1000 rigs.

[Elecraft] K-line Remote Ops

2019-05-17 Thread David Windisch
K-line Remote Ops

Hi, all concerned:

Remote operation (RO) of an ELECRAFT-line station has become my means of
escaping the challenge of omnipresent HF noise at my urban home location.

However, RO has presented its own peculiar set of adversities.

In my case, the control location (CL) is at my home, and the radio location
(RL) is at the remote site, and the sites are separated by a 20-25 mile
non-line-of-sight path.

The internet connection I am using between CL and RL is managed by REMOTERIG
1258 equipments at both ends of the path.

The ISPs involved at the CL are Cincinnati Bell Telephone (mainly
fiberoptic) and SPECTRUM (mainly cable), and SPECTRUM-only at the RL.

Both ISPs seem to have the same problem: remote ops go well for random
lengths of time, and then the connection suddenly "drops out".

The evolving workaround is, 
after, say, calling CQ, and 
tuning in an answer properly, and 
turning the control off and on to store the proper tuning parameters in case
of a dropout,
to warn my (mostly CW) contacts of the possibity of a dropout, and, if one
occurs, please QRX while I "reset the system".

"Resetting the system" consists of 
turning off the control (K3 or the K3/0 MINI at the CL), 
waiting some few seconds until the control "beeps", 
then turning the control back on to see if the system has reset (resumed
comms);
if it hasn't reset, turning the control off again (and waiting for the beep)
and then back on and repeating until the system resumes comms.

Lately, it has been taking from 2 to 6 repeats to get the system operating
after a dropout. 
I'm gonna wear out the power switch.

Resetting the REMOTERIGs does not appear to cause, help, or otherwise affect
the reset process.

There are other issues, such as whether REMOTERIG implements all or a select
subset of the K3 functions.

They can wait.

[Elecraft] K3S passes 5 & 50w tests but . . .

2019-03-10 Thread David Windisch
Hi, all concerned:
My previously-owned K3S sn 11000+ passes the 5W & 50W tests, but won't
output more CW power than:
70W on 160M
80W on 80M
90W on 30M
70W on 15M.
The rig goes right to 110W on the remaining bands.
I suspect bandpass alignment problems, 
or forbidden adjustment of caps/pots, 
and request alternative suspicions and procedural suggestions from the
august and puissant group, pls.

Re: [Elecraft] K3/0 etc remote control system followup

2019-02-26 Thread David Windisch
Hi, all concerned:

The remote system is now installed and operating in the site pictured on my
QRZ page.
A 40M inverted-vee dipole at 120 ft apex height does play fairly well.
Better antennas and higher power are forthcoming 
  
We had a long cold dark thunderstormy late session setting up the
SPECTRUM-provided ARRIS router properly.
SPECTRUM does not allow access to the router by WAN; only by LAN.
Next test will be to take a generic router to the site and see if we can set
it up for WAN access.

Tks for the responses to my question re inaccessible K3S functions.
I'll take that issue to the remoterig reflector.

[Elecraft] K3/0 etc remote control system

2019-02-22 Thread David Windisch
Hi, all concerned:

With much help from many sources, for which I am thankful, I now have an
operational remote control system: K3/0 to remoterig 1258 in Cincinnati OH
to 'net to remoterig 1258 to K3S to antenna in Dayton OH.

The remote system has worked fine so far. I've had a number of CW and SSB
Q's, mostly on 40M.

I tried to program the front-panel MESSAGE memories per the K3S user manual
instructions, and was unsuccessful, which got me to wondering if others have
found inoperative functions.

I look forward to any and all responses, tks.

[Elecraft] [K3/0 mini rx audio out]

2018-12-14 Thread David Windisch
All concerned:

I've searched the archives to no avail for the solution to this challenge.
If there were refs, I missed 'em.

The Heil, CM500 etc., etc., cans I've tried out, on the K3/0 mini front and
side audio outputs, simply do not put enough sound pressure on my TOEs
(tired old ears).
The K3S, however, _does_ put enough sound pressure on my TOEs, with _all_
the can/mic sets I have, especially with the WWII hi-z antique sets.

Has anyone out there in radioland found:
1. a set of cans that doesn't need an external audio amp, or
2. a suitable external audio amp, ?

Brgds & tks from Dave, N3HE.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] K3/0 Remote Rig QRQ / QSK performance

2013-09-19 Thread David Windisch
If you get a 'net speed test from 
http://www.megapath.com/speedtestplus/ 
you will see latency and jitter stats.
In my experience, they make QSK not an option, running, as they do, 30-60ms
latency and 1-30ms jitter.
Oh well.
I use an MFJ422 (Curtis chip) keyer to get better control over other issues,
eg, proper weighting, rather than dot/dash ratio masquerading as weight
control, as in the keyer built in to the remoterig box. The delay in
sidetone from the far end will drive you nuts trying to send with the delay;
I turn the volume down so local sidetone predominates.
You might be able to get sorta-QSK at slow hand-key speeds.

Hth.

Dave, N3HE

[Elecraft] Fw: The Rabbi and the Pope

2013-04-15 Thread David Windisch
Subject: Fw: The Rabbi and the Pope


Please be kind enough to remove all names and email addresses if you forward 
this to others.  Use BCC when addressing messages.  This says NO to spammers - 
Thanks!


  The Rabbi and the Pope



Around the year 900, the Pope decreed that all the Jews had to convert to 
Catholicism or leave Italy. There was a huge outcry from the Jewish community, 
so the Pope offered a deal: he'd have a religious debate with the leader of the 
Jewish community. If the Jews won the debate, they could stay in Italy; if the 
Pope won, all the Jewish people would have to convert or leave.

The Jewish people met and picked an aged and wise Rabbi to represent them 
in the debate. However, as the Rabbi spoke no Italian, and the Pope spoke no 
Yiddish, all agreed that it would be a silent debate.

On the chosen day, the Pope and Rabbi sat opposite each other.

The Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers.
The Rabbi looked back and raised one finger.

Next, the Pope waved his finger around his head.
The Rabbi pointed to the ground where he sat.

The Pope brought out a communion wafer and a chalice of wine.
The Rabbi pulled out an apple.

With that, the Pope stood up and declared himself clearly beaten, and said 
that the Rabbi was too clever. The Jews could stay in Italy.

Later the Cardinals met with the Pope and asked him what had happened.

The Pope said, Firstly, I held up three fingers to represent the Trinity. 
The Rabbi responded by holding up a single finger to remind me there is still 
only ONE God who is common to both our faiths.

Then, I waved my finger around my head to show him that God was all around 
us.
The Rabbi responded by pointing to the ground to show that God was also 
RIGHT HERE with us.

I pulled out the wine and host to show that through the perfect sacrifice, 
Jesus has atoned for our sins, but the Rabbi pulled out an apple to remind me 
of the ORIGINAL SIN. He beat me at every move, and I could not continue.

Meanwhile, the Jewish community gathered to ask the Rabbi how he'd managed 
to win.

I haven't a clue, said the Rabbi. First, he told me that we had three 
days to get out of Italy, so I gave him the finger.

Then he tells me that the whole country would be cleared of Jews, but I 
told him emphatically that we were staying right here.

And then what? asked a woman.

Who knows? said the Rabbi. He took out his lunch, so I took out mine. I 
still have no idea what happened after that.

[Elecraft] More on remote operations

2013-04-04 Thread David Windisch
Thanks to all who replied to my earlier post.  The LL discussion has been
especially informative and quite welcome.

I do have questions for further discussion, but first, a recap of events.

The remote project started simply enough: a K3/100 and RRC-1258 in my local
shack in Florida, to the internet, to a remote RRC1258, K3/100 and 40M
monoband antenna in Ohio. 

I handled the logging, dx-clusters, etc., with a Windows Vista computer
connected to the miniature USB port on the local RRC-1258.

It worked, except turning on the 2nd rx killed TX on all modes.

Elecraft factory service diagnosed and fixed that.

It all worked. 

The feedback from the remote K3/100 to the local K3/100 was enough to ensure
proper K3/100 and antenna operation at the remote end, no remote computer
needed.

I got a K3/0, swapped out the local K3/100, and it all *still* worked.

I got another remote-end version of the RRC-1258 so I can troubleshoot and
test a complete system locally.  More on that later.   

Then . . . life became too short for simple remote projects.

At the remote end, an Alpha 87A amplifier, antenna switching, rotator
control for 3 rotators, an external power meter, and a WindowsXP computer to
run all the control programs, were installed.

At both ends, free versions of logmein client/server software are used to
log in and run the Alpha, the rotator controls, and the external power
meter.

A homebrew kluge decodes band data from the K3/100 ACC connector and
controls the antenna switching and rotator selection.  I wanted to use the
KRC2 for decoding and switching, but that's another story.

A dit or a cough grin brings the Alpha on frequency.

Things are *still* working another grin.  

Now, the questions for further discussion.

Could the computer at the remote end be swapped out for a multi-port serial
server and control of the Alpha and rotator transferred to my local shack
computer?

The serial servers I have found aren't inexpensive; would someone be willing
to make a 4-port serial server available for testing the concept, please?

Have I overlooked a remote-server capability in equipment mentioned by N3WG? 

As for the remote-end version of the RRC-1258 I got, it could be used with
my K3/100 (into a dummy load only, sri) by any one out there wanting to do
live testing or experimenting, with me at this end, 
to see just what can and can't be accessed or controlled.  Playing with
macros comes to mind.

Brgds,
Dave, N3HE

[Elecraft] Remote operations

2013-04-02 Thread David Windisch
Hi, all concerned:
I'm in Jacksonville, FL, doing private remote ops using remoterig.com
boxes for the radio part (K3/0 controlling K3/100), and logging onto a
remote computer desktop (in the midwestern USA) to use Windows apps for
RS-232 control of an amplifier and rotator.

Things seem to be working fairly well during the short time the system has
been up.

I'd like to get a thread going with anyone using linux apps and boxes such
as the raspberry pi to do remote ops, to see what other ways of doing
things are out there.

Brgds,
Dave, N3HE

Full disclosure: I have a time-share at w2re.com, which works *truly fb* for
the times I want to get into a shouting contest from a location with
different propagation. We can talk about that as well.

  the group as a whole will not keep this up. It helps those that have filters

Yeh . . . It's not broken, Barry, just doing only the limited tasks its code 
allows.

I had a conversation or two with the individual who (formerly and somewhat 
regularly) sorted things manually.  It's still manual.  He wanted to know if I 
could cruft (sic) some autosort code; I replied, with thanks for the implied 
flattery, that it's always been above my abilities, much more (less?) my 
paygrade.  For example, I have no idea how to construct effective error traps.

You may have noticed my experimenting with the list parameters from time.  
That's how I concluded that there are more ways to access msgs than the present 
Nabble code can handle well.

I go back and delete my posts after an interval, as well.  Paranoia, you know, 
and, yes, I know they're archived *somewhere.

If people restrict themselves to Nabble's live-access mode for reading and 
posting, the problem will probably morph into server inadequacy.

It's just another c

  Nabble appears somewhat broken.  It rarely sorts messages these days, even 
with a title which includes something like [K3]. 

  For example, the last 8 K3 posts which were placed in the K3 subdirectory 
date back to Dec 2, and the last 8 P3 posts date back to Oct 2, with only one 
in Dec and one in Nov.

[Elecraft] [OT] Any M$ Flight Simulator X players out there?

2012-09-29 Thread David Windisch
Hi, all concerned:

I've been a M$ FS fan since 1995 or 1996.  

Getting gamer boxes together which run FS-X well has always been challenging
- - fast mobos, processors, memory, drives, multiple gpus, screens, yoke,
pedals, multi-player, overclocking, and so on.  

The spinoff is that the boxes generally run ham software effortlessly and
flawlessly.

Lately, playing the sim while waiting until I can get a station on the air
again passes the time pleasantly.  There are easter eggs; for example,
W7RM's former site is shown as 4 towers up on Foul Weather Bluff.

Anyone else out there interested in the sim?  Be kind enough to contact me
off-reflector, thanks.

Brgds.

[Elecraft] [OT] Microsoft Win7 stuff

2012-09-21 Thread David Windisch
Hi, all concerned:

Full disclosure: 

I buy and run generic Microsoft stuff wherever I can, not for the cool ade
content, but for the access to the large database of fixes when the stuff
breaks.  I have no idea if the following works with other stuff.

If you liked the earlier windows 7 god mode post, try this one for all the
Win7 group policies you ever wanted to see:

1. Left-click the Start button.

2. Type or copy-and-paste  

   gpedit.msc

into the search box.

3. Press the ENTER key.

Ta-dh.

Optional:

If you have experienced and want to cure one of my most favorite annoyances,
the add-on performance notification I occasionally get at the bottom of my
screen: 

0. Open Help and read the manual. Heh heh.

1. Enlarge the window to full-screen size.

2. Open either one of the Administrative Templates folders.  I usually
start with the upper one.

3. Open All settings.

4. Scroll down the Setting column to Disable add-on performance
notifications line entry.   If you don't see the line entry in the list,
look in the other Administrative Templates folder.

5. Open it.

6. Click the Enabled radio button.

7. Click Apply.

8. Close the open windows.

9. Repeat steps 2.-9. for the other Administrative Templates folder; some
of the entries appear in both Administrative Templates folders.

10. Reboot the computer.

Another one of my favorite annoyances is malware changing settings on the
browser's home page.  Follow the steps above for the Disable changing home
page settings line entry.

Hope this is useful.

Brgds,
Dave, N3HE

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and Alpha 87A SWR

2012-08-28 Thread David Windisch
Hi, Mike et al:

If you are adventurous, and your K3 has a KAT3, you might try putting the K3
into the LCSET mode and drive the '87A slowly and gently up to max while
adjusting the KAT3 LC parameters.  Pls don't hotswitch!  I think you may see
that the sign of the Zin changes from band to band: you get better results
with Ca than Ct and vice versa.  Fred Cady's book has a good several pages
in this, iirc.  

The length of the pigtail has an effect, as well; however, since the K3s I
have will drive the '87As I have through real Alpha pigtails, without
resorting to the K3's internal tuner, I've ignored the situation.  Too many
variables, heh heh.

Purists, ymmv, thanks.

Dave Windisch, N3HE

Re: [Elecraft] Remote rig versus homebrew challenges

2012-03-06 Thread David Windisch
Gol dern it Mitch, I like the concept, *but* it simply ain't PNP, to me, at
least.  

What's holding me back is almost 300 pages of smallprint whostruckjohn
vagueness masquerading as the remoterig user manual.
If someone were to produce a Fred-Cady-style explication suitable for a guy
whose medical vicissitudes of life include being reduced to appliance-op
status, or maybe less, I'd buy it again.  I simply can't just do it from
scratch any more, and I'd be happy to return to the remoterig fold, in
which, as you may remember, I once was.

I'll also happily retract the pejoratives above, public-ly, in this venue,
if my searches have overlooked any existing cookbook.

I look forward to your early positive reply, thanks.

Dave, N3HE

[Elecraft] Stuff to sell

2012-02-21 Thread David Windisch
Hi, all concerned:
I'm moving into cramped quarters near Jacksonville, FL, shortly after the wx
turns warm at north 39 degrees latitude, and I need to continue thinning the
herd of ham electronics collected for 60-odd years.

Taking pics and posting ads is the usual buy/sell way, and, while I will
probably need to do this eventually; however, there are other possibilities.

Having audio skype service  in my shack has been a handy, -free- way to
contact other skype-ers.  For example, I'm  David.Windisch4 ; download and
install the free service if you don't already have it, and gimme a shout. 
If I enable video, you will see me as well as hear me.

If you want to show someone how you did something with or to your eg K3, you
can pick up the cam and show him in real time.  I've been shown a lot more
than I have shown, by some good guys out there.

To the chase: I run M$ Vista Ultimate on all my computer boxes.  Wanting to
get on skype video as well, I bought a n-o-s-i-b Logitech Quickcam 8.4.1 in
a hurry, without checking -all- that fine print, and when it arrived, I
found out that the drivers are for XP.  No biggie; Vista drivers are not
available, so I bought a Logitech C910 cam for Vista and W7, which has
worked out fine.  It has mic/spkrs built in, just like the 8.4.1; no need
for a mic-equipped headset.  I can have a conversation from the (blue) room
without dragging a handset along for the privilege of crooking it between my
head and shoulder grin.  

I'm getting re-acquainted with my grandson, and a -bunch- of non-ham old
acquaintances of up to 60 years' standing.

To the chase, once more: rather than return the 8.4.1, I'll make it
available for a $25 check or mo, shipped to your conus adr.

In the near future, I plan on listing stuff to sell here and elsewhere, and
you'll be able to see it via skype.

Brgds,
Dave, N3HE

[Elecraft] OT: RS232 ports on newest desktop computer motherboards

2012-02-14 Thread David Windisch
Nothing new here, I'm sure; I simply was happily reminded of this during
research on gaming machine motherboard candidates.

The mobo mfrs seem to disguise the naked (9-pin!) RS232 headers on their
boards with names like COM, LEGACY, etc.

Have a look at your own board's naked headers, if you're wanting to avoid
converter-cable problems involving USBx, where x varies from zero to
infinity.  The header-to-9pin-dogbone-connector ribbon-cable things are
available to reach from the header to the card-slot on the case backdrop. 
Then you can use LP-Bridge to share the port.

If you're interested in the research results, email me off-reflector via the
ARRL email reflector, thanks.

Brgds,
Dave, N3HE

Re: [Elecraft] K3. S/No:4250

2012-01-03 Thread David Windisch
First whack at at it:

Assumptions:  signal: 1.860 MHz;  local osc: 1.860 + 8.215 = 10.075 MHz

In 6 weeks, there are about 36.56016E12 local oscillator cycles, for the
top-band frequency given.

Each cycle takes the reciprocal of 36.56016E12 in time.

Think of the local osc signal as a Slinky on its side with 36.56016E12 turns
spread exactly evenly over 6 weeks.

I'm thinking that expecting the first and all subsequent cycles not to
wander a bit in time-position over a 6-week term is not justifiable.

Does that make sense?

Re: [Elecraft] K3. S/No:4250

2012-01-03 Thread David Windisch
Hi, Eric:
What was I thinking?! grin  I did this same thing to myself a few years
back by messing the offsets up in some bit of experimentation I was doing. 
Forgot all about it, of course.  The fix for my situation then was found in
the K3 manual.
Here is a quote from p38 of the online K3 Manual:

QUOTE
You should also use crystal filters with closely
matched offsets (CONFIG:FLx FRQ). Otherwise,
you may hear a slow phase modulation (similar to a
beat note) between the two receivers on some
signals. 8-pole filters are already matched (FLx
FRQ = 0.00). Elecraft can provide pairs of 5-pole
crystal filters with offsets within 40 Hz of each
other on request. When setting up FLx FRQ, use
the average of the filters’ marked offsets as the
value entered for both filters (main and sub). If you
enter different offsets, you’ll hear phase
modulation, even if the offsets are very close.
UNQUOTE

Re: [Elecraft] Question about forthcoming KAT500

Make yourself a line stretcher, a device with switchable lengths of
whatever feedline you use,  starting out with, eg, a 1' length, then 2',
then 4', and so on.  Put it at the tuner output.  This can change the Z
presented to the tuner to something it can handle without running out of the
range of variable adjustment.  It's an old workaround.

[Elecraft] Mush and my toes

2011-12-07 Thread David Windisch
Hi, all concerned:
For openers, toes are my Tired (68-year) Old Ear S, replete with tinnitus
(you know, constant high-pitched hiss).
In any case, a weak single tone appears to change pitch higher to lower as I
vary its level from subliminal to comfortable, and lower to higher pitch
from comfortable to subliminal.
It occurs in both ears.
Easiest way to attempt replicating this is to use the MON cw tone function
on the K3.
The change I hear is not dramatic; best analogue I can think of is a very
slight symmetrical chirp.
Any one else notice this?
Could this syndrome be a contributor to the mush reported by others?
I can not remember when I first noticed this; I do notice it on certain
single musical notes as well.
Brgds,
Dave, N3HE

[Elecraft] K3: COM1 and COM3 question

2011-11-02 Thread David Windisch
Hi, all concerned:

Operationally, all has been well with 2 K3s and P3s in the station over the
last several years.
Been thru  multiple successful firmware upgrades, yearly recals, and so on,
with no external adapters or port-sharing software being used, simply the K3
and P3 utilities, dummy loads, and XG2 for the usual housekeeping.

I've long ignored that one K3 has always communicated thru COM1 to its
computer and the other thru COM3 to its computer.

Afaik they ain't broke; anybody have an explanation, please?

sending parts to the winds.  They stack nicely, the factory labels peel

Oops.

This is not a distress sale, however, the K3 price is reduced to $2500 ono
shipped conus.

A respondent took me to task; on review, I realized I had priced the
for-sale K3 from the (current) price sheet for another one of my keeper K3s,
which has more add-ons, by mistake.  I update the sheets every time Elecraft
announces a price change.
The K3 is built from a kit.
The main rx has 2.7/0.4/0.2 Kc filters; the 2nd rx has a 2.7 Kc filter.
The KXV3 is installed with upgrade.
The active audio lpf is installed.
The AF gain knobs are the latest design.

Sri for the careless mistake.

[Elecraft] Sell or trade

2011-09-29 Thread David Windisch
Hi, all concerned:

The move to Jacksonville, Florida is approaching.  I'm in the cargo bay,
balancing the load and jettisoning excess parts  of it.

Excess:

1. K3, sn14XX, 100W, filters, AT, 2nd rx, KDVR, late factory mods/checkout,
current factory price about   $3500.
2. Ten Tec 425, pr EIMAC 3CX800A7's, 1500W out 160-10M including WARC (new
rfparts.com plate choke to eliminate the notorious 12M problem), vac rly QSK
with 2 spare new vac rlys, value $1500 +/-.

Both units perform well, ie, no issues, and will be packed for the rigors of
shipping at your cost and risk.  The transformer will be removed from the
amplifier power supply.  

The $ figures listed are negotiable, naturally.  I'm interested in selling
or trading for one KPA500 kit, one P3 kit, and one KRC2.

Pls contact me off-reflector:   davidjw at  cinci dot rr

Re: [Elecraft] MCU 4.42 Beta Firmware

2011-09-21 Thread David Windisch
Hi, Adrian:

I have found:   http://www.elecraft.com/K3/K3FAQ.htm  to be helpful.

Here is a quote regarding NR:

QUOTE

How does the Noise Reduction work?

NR depends on correlation of the present input with previous input. The
system does not actually provide Noise Reduction; it provides Signal
Selection. In other words, its default is to pass nothing at all. It has to
believe there is a signal present, and then it builds a filter, or set of
filters, around the spectral components of the signal it thinks is there.
 Random noise has no correlation, voice has moderate but not perfect (unless
you whistle a pure tone) and CW has excellent correlation.  As a result,
noise is heavily suppressed (no filter is built to pass it), voice is
partially suppressed (hence it needs some additional gain to compensate for
this effect so the same AF level will produce about the same audio level
with a moderate S/N speech signal) and CW is hardly suppressed at all (hence
it does not need any gain boost).
 NR is not recommended in Data Mode.  Data is already getting a matched
filter in the demodulator. You might lose a few symbols as the NR settles
around the signal, and it might suppress a very weak signal that you could
otherwise copy.
 NR in the end is intended for modes you listen to.

[Elecraft] Octopus box for station equipment interconnection

2011-09-04 Thread David Windisch
Hi, all concerned:

  Operating computer-assisted digital modes has become easier and
simpler, for me at least, with the K3's accessibility features.  I started
with WSPR, added WSJT-HF, and am looking at other modes, after reading a
post here somewhere by K9YC (thanks, Jim, heh heh).

  Talk about wired wireless: has anyone come up with what I call an
octopus box, which would centralize and redistribute all the FP and BP audio
and control functions of the K3, in order to reduce or eliminate entirely
cable-switching and secondarily the wear-and-tear on the K3's connectors
which cable-switching causes?

  I have looked at W8ZR's lovely offering, and the WestMountain RCA14,
and searched further without finding such a comprehensive accessory.

  Any ideas out there, please?

[Elecraft] I just *know* there's an explanation for this K3 behavior

2011-08-24 Thread David Windisch
Hi, all concerned:

I swl with the K3, and have been trying to make it scan the widest possible
spans outside the ham bands.  

In the process, I have accumulated a list of frequencies (found by tuning
first A, then B, from 490 KHz to 30 MHz) where the K3 behave in interesting
ways.  The A list of frequencies differs somewhat from the B list, and
tuning down from 30 MHz to 490 KHz produces slightly different behavior.   

For example, set A to 8.999 
Tap AB
Tune A up through 9.000 while observing B 
Did you hear any relay sounds?
Tune A back down through 9.000 while observing B
Tune B back and forth through 9.000 while observing A

Any help out there with an explanation, please?

Re: [Elecraft] K3 memory

2011-08-11 Thread David Windisch
Hi, all concerned:

I'm glad to report that the problem seems to be cured.

I saved the params with the K3 utility.
I performed an EE INIT, which by itself eliminated the syndrome.
Then I reloaded the saved params.  Syndrome returned.
To be thorough, I downloaded and re-installed RV4.39 f/w.
Hand-fed the params, did the cals in the book, saved another params file,
and things seem to be back to normal.

I notice that the EE INIT leaves frequency memories intact.

Keep those easy fixes coming!

Thanks to all who responded.

[Elecraft] K3 memory

2011-08-10 Thread David Windisch
Hi, all concerned:

I've been using v4.39 firmware for a while.

In a prior fw version, at least a year ago, using the K3 MemEd, I programmed
in, eg, vfo A=7000.00  and vfo B=7030.00,  so I can use the MV button as a
bandswitch, and scan from A to B.  Worked fine afterwards.  Didn't have a P3
then; this was a simple workaround.

Been using a P3 and bandswitching with the BAND button since, and just now
noticed that the MV function doesn't pick up the vfo B memory setting any
more when I tried it.

Read the memories with the MemEd; all As and Bs were as I set them; resent
them anyway; still no vfo B pickup.

Have I botched something up?

Dave, N3HE

[Elecraft] How to block pop-up sites in Windows IE

2011-08-09 Thread David Windisch
I'm recovering from disk failure (well, thanks, backup, you know), and
thought others might be interested in the Subject matter.

Left-click Tools on the menu bar.

Left-click Internet Options on the drop-down menu.

Left-click the Privacy tab.

Left-click the Sites button.

Either copy and paste or type in the following list of sites I've collected:

2o7.net

advertising.com

atdmt.com

burstnet.com

casalemedia.com

com.com

doubleclick.net

fastclick.net

hitbox.com

imrworldwide.com

mediaplex.com

myway.com

overture.com

pointroll.com

pro-market.net

questionmarket.com

realmedia.com

realtracker.com

ru4.com

serving-sys.com

specificclick.net

statcounter.com

trafficmp.com

tribalfusion.com

zedo.com

and post others if you care to.

Store the list some where safe for future reference.

You could probably add this list to your firewall.  I haven't.

I'm suspicious of M$ back-of-curtain shenanigans when I have to type in
certain sites, rather than copy-and-paste.

Ymmv.

Dave Windisch, N3HE

[Elecraft] Looking for a special situation in Jacksonville, FL area

2011-07-30 Thread David Windisch
Hi, all concerned:
 
In the next six months or so, I will be moving to an in-law suite in the
Jacksonville FL area, exact location unknown.

In the last 5-6 years, I've put a decent ELECRAFT-ALPHA station together in
Cincinnati.  The antenna system can be seen on qrz.com, googleearth, and
bingmaps.com.

I plan on disassembling the station and moving everything but the tower base
to temporary storage in FL

Then I will be looking for an op, in or near Jax, who could become
interested in a special situation.

In a nutshell, remote control technology has progressed rapidly lately, and
the op for whom I'm looking would be willing to host a station using my
equipment, tower, and antennas, in return for sharing operating time with
me, remoted in from my in-law suite.

There are many, too many, details to share here.

If you have serious interest, or know someone who does, be kind enough to
contact me via telephone or *private* email, thanks.

Brgds.

  I use Splashtop and HDR, it also streams your mic input while using HRD,

[Elecraft] K3: remote control

2011-07-05 Thread David Windisch
Hi, all concerned:

In the next 6 months, I'll be going from having a competitive station to . .
. heavysigh . . . an in-law suite which will likely have HOAs and
restrictive covenants, somewhere in or near Jacksonville FL.

I am interested in remotely controlling a K3 over the 'net, as simply as I
can, ie, avoiding using a computer at the remote site.

Before I throw money at the problem, I'd like some comment on this block
diagram:

Computer/rig-control-software at control point to router-with-USB-port, eg,

http://www.cnet.com/topic-reviews/router/usb-port.html

or computer/rig-control-software  at control point to IP-to-USB-converter,
eg (log lnk)

http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=ensugexp=bvecxhr=tq=ip+to+usb+convertercp=19bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.biw=662bih=723wrapid=tljp130987001388200um=1ie=UTF-8tbm=shopcid=3705660766983091443sa=Xei=ygcTTsuwH8mugQfP2OzpBQsqi=2ved=0CFYQ8wIwAA#

to (my present LinkSys) router

to high-speed cable connection (eg RoadRunner)

to a SignaLink IP-to-USB interface to the K3

http://www.tigertronics.com/

at the remote site, in the hope of adding at least as much rc functionality
to the K3 as, say, the Ten Tec OMNI VII

http://www.tentec.com/?id=2

provides right out of the Ten Tec shipping box.

Just how many of what unknowns am I overlooking, thanks?

Brgds,
Dave Windisch, N3HE

Re: [Elecraft] Price Comparisons

2011-06-14 Thread David Windisch
When Mr Collins himself was in control, iirc, the rumor in th '50s was that
the 'A4 cost about four large to manufacture, while, as a favor to fellow
hams, he let them steal it for ~$750.  The beancounters eventually reined
him in.

Re: [Elecraft] We need to develop the Ideal Antenna!

2011-05-15 Thread David Windisch
Dunno if this is ideal, however, I have 2 Hustler 6BTV's and they can be fed
together as a dipole.  I plan to put them in a pvc pipe, for wx resistance
and some mechanical stability, and use them as a 6-band  slopper, leaning
toward my tower and fed with 7/8 line to handle vswr excursions.  Support
point is around 40 ft, so it may work in some trees, as well.

Re: [Elecraft] Relay noises??

2011-04-27 Thread David Windisch
To redirect what seems to be a tone of disbelief, or nonrecognition, of the
relay chatter syndrome, perhaps Gary Surrency could write up here re his
diagnosis of my K3 several months ago.

I'll ask the local who's using the K3 which has the relay chatter, if he's
willing to post his findings.  Maybe he could record it and post a .wav
file.  What ever.

I'm a happy multiple-K3 owner who is patient with things like this.  It's a
hobby to me, and not mission-critical.  No K4s needed, or instant fixes for
hangnails.

Brgds,
Dave, N3HE

Re: [Elecraft] Relay noises??

2011-04-23 Thread David Windisch
Got the same problem in one of my K3s.  
According to facsupport, in early units there is a custom PLD chip which
sometimes develops timing issues at random intervals, and that $99+2wayship
will likely take care of the problem.
A local fellow has been using the K3 in the mean time, and putting up with
the problem, and has indicated that he will buy it as-is.

Turns out that doing the following fixes the problem:

Click on start, on the search box type msconfig, click on the startup tab
and uncheck all ATI listings, apply, close, and restart.

Thanx much to all who replied offlist.
