Re: [Elecraft] Firmware final?

2012-06-30 Thread Gill W4RYW
FYI - Version 4.51 - The CW Decode/CWT function on my sn# 705 is mostly
non-functional no matter what I set the threshold to. I mostly use the CWT
for zero beat or to see how far off others are calling (DX) - that still
works on the stronger sigs but not on weak ones.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Center Freq save per band

2011-11-03 Thread Gill W4RYW
Alan,

Thanks for the reply!  The static setting will not do what I was interested
in. It sets the display for a fixed span and will not display the sigs
beyond that setting, even if you tune outside the span.

I set my K3 memories for 7.030, 14.030, 21,030, etc. When I select the band,
the K3 tunes to that freq but the P3 may center on 14.035 or 14.025 instead
of 14.030. I like to tune down the band and see the next 20Khz display which
would be 14.000 to 14.020 if the P3 went to 14.030 initially for the center
freq. When it goes to 14.035, the next screen does not go to the band edge,
it goes to 14.005- Kinda a nuisance for quickly seeing DX on 14.000 to
14.020 quickly. 

I would think that the P3 would always go back to same center freq when K3
went there but it seems to go +/- 5Khz either way in a somewhat random
manner. I am on ver 1.09 FW

Thanks anyway

73's

[Elecraft] P3 Center Freq save per band

2011-10-31 Thread Gill W4RYW
I am not sure how to set the P3 center frequency in the fixed mode so that it
stays put between band changes. I use the M keys + number to select bands. I
can save all the band settings using VM key. If I have a span of 20 Khz on
the P3, set the center to say 14.30 Mhz, it will not stay saved. Switch band
to 3965 Khz  and back and it will go to 14.35 Mhz - sometimes but not
always.

Does the P3 remember settings along with K3??

[Elecraft] Tunable carrier (birdie) 20445khz

2011-08-20 Thread Gill W4RYW
While looking for a source of some steady carrier interference on the 20M and
15M bands, I noticed that one of them at 21.017.9 Khz moved (on the P3
screen) in proportion to the tuning of the K3. Obviously a birdie as I
checked with no antenna. The birdie had side lobes - i.e. there were weak
carriers either side at 12Khz offsets. Tuning around, I found what appears
to be the fundamental at 20445.11 kHz. The freq's are with rig on CW normal
- the freq's listed change with mode. Turning P3 off makes no difference.

I would like to get rid of these or minimize the levels - any ideas?

You can reset everything by the following:

Power off
Hold in shift knob while pressing power on switch unit it fully powers up

You will have to start over again just like you had just finished building
it - so don't so this just for grins.

If you have an older configuration file saved you can reload it and be right
back where you were when you saved the file. The firmware is not affected
either way - kinda like a restore point in Win XP.

Good luck!

Re: [Elecraft] K3 ERR KEY - Continuous Keying

2009-04-09 Thread Gill W4RYW

See if you can isolate the problem - Turn off the K3  disconnect the computer 
from the K3, turn it on and check the config menu setting for PTT-KEY. Turn 
both PTT and KEY to OFF. Turn off the VOX. Turn off the K3 and reconnect the 
computer. Turn on K3 then start up computer. You should be ok.  If not call 
Aptos. otherwise go to PTT-KEY menu and turn back on whatever was originally 
on. If the problem re-appears, then your computer is asserting either the RTS 
or DTR line continually and now you have to trouble shoot the computer - likely 
some program or program update is screwed up. All this is assuming that sound 
card is clean and not activating VOX. If you turn on VOX and it keys again, 
then you still have a computer soundcard issue.

Good Luck

Ed,

I agree with your evaluation completely - There is not a more demanding
contest for a receiver than the 160M CW. I was BLOWN AWAY by the
unbelieveable performance of my K3. I don't have the sub rcvr (yet) but your
write up is quite convincing. I am about 100 Mi from the W8JI contest
station and I was able to qso very weak stations within 200Hz of Tom's 60
over nine sigs - He was clean as a pin and my 250Hz filter made it like he
wasn't there! Amazing!  I have a local ham who was running with the legal
limit about a mile away and I did not know he was on until I stumbled across
him while doing SAP. My old rig would desense and go to pieces when he fired
up!

You sounded like a local here as well!

No antenna no noise - you have something nearby radiating the noise. 360Hz
is the 6th harmonic of the AC power line. Put the rig in the AM mode and
tune up from the broadcast band looking for peaks in noise. It will likely
sound like a buzz on AM, not like what you are hearing but it will be the
main source of what you hear. You will probably find some really strong ones
in the lower freq ranges - then pick one that is loudest and switch off each
breaker in your electrical panel until it goes away - of it does, look for
what is connected to that circuit. If it doesn't, you have a noise source
outside your home. 

Good luck.

[Elecraft] 2.10B narrow filter anomaly

I have been using ver 1.78 that shipped with rig and been quite pleased.
Figured I should update.When tuned to a steady tone (CW too!) I now get a
beat note effect on the width setting 100hz and 50hz only.  I have a 250hz
filter. Turn on IIR fixes problem. Only hear on FIR DSP. Sounds like two
identical freq tones beating - tuning the sig to a precise freq causes
effect to disappear. This is annoying to listen to.

Re: [Elecraft] 2.10B narrow filter anomaly

2008-06-28 Thread Gill W4RYW

Bob,

Thanks for the confirmation. I have spectrum lab - will take a look after
FD. I also think the level drops several db (to the ear) as the filter
switches from 150hz to 100hz, most noticable on weaker sigs. 

73's

Gill


You may be on to something. Using the 100 Hz FIR filter and injecting
a steady carrier, I looked at the receiver output using Spectrum Lab.
I observed multiple spurious tones, 2 of which are only 15 dB down
from the desired signal. The freq spread between the desired signal
and the 1st spur is 2x the difference between the signal and filter
center, so you have zero beat at filter center. And so on.  Take a
look at it with an audio spectrum analyzer, it's interesting. Zero
beat with the other -15 dB spur is at the upper filter skirt.
Aliasing?

The result is the same for the 50 Hz filter, but the 50 and 100 Hz IIR
filters are squeaky clean under the same conditions.

Subjectively speaking, when listening to on air signals, the signal
starts to sound bad to my ears as you tune it close to the upper
filter edge zero beat point, but within 20 Hz of filter center the
effect seems subtle, and easily overlooked. However, viewed on the
spec an, it's clear that something isn't quite right.

I observe no such problem with ver 1.78 FIR filters under the same
conditions.

Maybe someone else can take a look at this.

 having a power output problem. The KPA3 is installed, I hope correctly,
 but I 
 cannot adjust the output power above 12 watts. The radio behaves as if the
 KPA3 
 was not installed.
 
 I do have CONFIG: PAIO set to NOR. (What does the TEST setting do?)
 
 Can anyone suggest what I may have overlooked or done wrong?
 
 Thank you.
 
 73,
 John, no8v

Re: [Elecraft] Push one primary control button and the rest move inward!

2008-05-05 Thread Gill W4RYW


I have no movement here either (#705). I did the mod for the mic grounding
which required removal of the front panel, the bottom and one side. I made
sure proper spacers with proper type lockwashers were in the right places
while I was at it. My unit is a marvel of machining technology - top cover,
bottom cover and sides fit perfectly - even after removal and reassembly. I
have never had that occur with my Icoms or Yaesu's - always had to fit force
to get re-alignment on re-assembly.

Re: [Elecraft] Knob shaft and pot issues

2008-05-05 Thread Gill W4RYW


The four small controls are digital encoders - not pots. they have some play
because they are also pushbutton type switches. The encoders have the
click built in to allow the operator to fine tune the digital steps. The
$20,000 Agilent test equipment we use at work have the same pots. 
My unit had a broken L18 coil lead on the KBPF3 board which I re-soldered.
The Mic ckt board (front panel)needed a mod. I have plenty of hardware left
over, probably because each extra option I ordered came with extras.

I like this radio better than any I have owned so far (licensed in 1960). I
hope you can get the things resolved that are bugging you - it seems that
the company is working hard to please. 

This is my first Elecraft product purchase.

[Elecraft] S/N 705 on the air!

2008-04-25 Thread Gill W4RYW

Ordered 10/23/07 - delivered 4/17/08 - assembled in about 8 hrs total with
only two glitches - coil L-18 on KPB3 board had broken lead and speaker
sound badly distorted. Good service response though from Scott.

I'm just a poor dumb country boy and never owned a Cadillac before - NICE!

[Elecraft] Another Katiegram

2008-04-09 Thread Gill W4RYW

Wonderful news - my order of Oct 23 will ship in 2-3 weeks. I was actually
expecting a late May delivery after lurking about this list for the last
several months.
