Re: [Elecraft] KX3 ATU manual option ?
Adrian, if I remember it well there is ATU BYP or AUTO available in the menu only. With difficult loads you can tap ATU TUNE a second time within 5 seconds to search for a lower SWR but manual tune function as it is available in K3 is not implemented in KX3. Modes L1-L8, C1-C8, and Ct are used to test the KXAT3’s relays and L-network if I remember it well... - 73 - Petr, OK1RP "Apple & Elecraft freak" B:http://ok1rp.blogspot.com MeWe: https://bit.ly/2HGPoDx MeWe: https://bit.ly/2FmwvDt -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.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] Your opinion on K3s settings for best weak signal cw reception
Duane, important is to set fine tuning (1Hz) when using the APF as the only precise tune on spot will effectively pulling out this weak sig from the noise. I do not understand why the K3/K3S never got as same feature as KX3 > switching to fine tuning automatically when APF is ON... Also try to reduce RF gain (do not keep it at max) in order to reduce noise. - 73 - Petr, OK1RP "Apple & Elecraft freak" B:http://ok1rp.blogspot.com MeWe: https://bit.ly/2HGPoDx MeWe: https://bit.ly/2FmwvDt -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.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 relay noise when using Rx ANT IN port
Just FYI, as Pablo, EA4TX confirmed the relay used for T/R switching to bypassing FEL while radio is transmitting has operating time in between 5-7ms and releasing time even 7-10ms if parallel diode is used. So it is not usable on CW ...if your K3 will start transmitting first element previously then FEL limiter is bypassed the RF power from K3 can damage the limiter. If your K3 will be back in RX mode again faster then FEL released to protection path then your K3 is not protected during that period... - 73 - Petr, OK1RP "Apple & Elecraft freak" B:http://ok1rp.blogspot.com MeWe: https://bit.ly/2HGPoDx MeWe: https://bit.ly/2FmwvDt -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.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 relay noise when using Rx ANT IN port
David, the problem is that original KD9SV FES unit is not protecting your radio against the another RF power sources (SO2R or MM site operation)... FES unit is disconnecting ext. RX antenna and grounding the input RX port just when the unit is activated by own radio PTT signal. In that case the limiters like FEP seems to be much better and it will do the job perfectly. Martin, OK1RR has new design of the FEP RF diode limiter for homebrew, just the article is in Czech language: https://www.okdxf.eu/index.php/technika/272-ochrana-vstupnich-obvodu-prijimace Do not worry to ask him for help. I am using his design as an upgrade of his preview KD9SV saver project and it works perfectly as everything designed by him. An interesting thing on EA4TX TRX-FEL design is that it can protect also all the main TRX ports on the radio (not only ext. RX antenna port) in SO2R and MM operation.

Re: [Elecraft] K4 model v. K3S for strong nearby signal rejection.
Dear Eric, there is no reason to expect far better results from K4HD compare to K3S as it is quite similar FE design in that matter. K4HD has just superhet module w/xtals roofing filters added to standard direct sampling K4/K4D radio. K3S has more filters slots available...

Andy do not glue to date of first post date in the link. Please follow and refer to its revision date in the end of the document in the link as it keeps updated as much as possible. Simply check the revision label on the PA/LPF board of your KPA500 and if you have rev. D9 or earlier with surface mount board (NO earlier rev. A or B with thru-hole yellow capacitors board) then the mod is for you if needed. As I mentioned it is not neccessary to do it if you hate to open and dismantling your KPA500 if all is currently working well for you... There is tons of amps that works like champ even they are old and not modified. So if you have not issues and do not want to make prevent mod then stay calm. BTW: yes it is official mod, Elecraft parts kit: E850607 good luck, Petr, OK1RP - 73 - Petr, OK1RP "Apple & Elecraft freak" B:http://ok1rp.blogspot.com MeWe: https://bit.ly/2HGPoDx MeWe: https://bit.ly/2FmwvDt -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.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] New Revision of KPA500 LPF TR Switching Rework Rev. E
Roy, The modification can be done as prevent action in order to avoid the loosing the full power (12m) accompanied by burning smell or it can be the solution for your already ruined amplifier. The typical KPA500 misbehavior sounds like it is arcing inside and smells the classic something is burning smell. The SWR LED's are dancing upwards as it arcs. If you have connected the KAT500 tuner then it has the SWR around 1.3:1... and power is lost. - 73 - Petr, OK1RP "Apple & Elecraft freak" B:http://ok1rp.blogspot.com MeWe: https://bit.ly/2HGPoDx MeWe: https://bit.ly/2FmwvDt -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.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] KX3 Issues
Hi all, some time ago also I reported that the MSG, PRE and ATTN buttons on my KX3 stopped working. I used them as I stored messages into bank 1 and 2 and few times I used to recall the mems but after some time the buttons stopped to response. No responding anymore > ON/OFF did not helped. Rest of buttons tested and works well. I solved it with the same procedure which I recommended in this thread... thanks to Chris, VK5CP. The ribbon cable had to be re-seated. As I have clean pressed air available with several bars presure and -83deg C dew-point I also cleaned the connectors on the ribbon cable before installing it back. It helped > problem solved. Be sure that the ribbon cable is oriented with the long tab toward the speaker and all pins are engaged when you will put it back to your radio. If you have the similar sympthoms then try it first before more complicated actions. It is easy and can help in few minutes. - 73 - Petr, OK1RP "Apple & Elecraft freak" B:http://ok1rp.blogspot.com MeWe: https://bit.ly/2HGPoDx MeWe: https://bit.ly/2FmwvDt -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.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
Re: [Elecraft] K1 manual revisions
Hi Don, perfect. many thanks for few hints. i will do it step by step. At first I will check physicaly the parts and soldering around the Q5. Then after I will try to measure the POWER voltage line (R10) for its stability. If needed i can replace both the Q5 and D18. the only I am worrying a bit about the factory reset if MCU/DAC sampling issue as I am not sure what should be re-aligned then after. I read in manual "VFO calibration etc." So I hope that it will not be needed... I will let you know soon.

Re: [Elecraft] K1 manual revisions
Hi Don, many thanks for kind help and reply. Unfortunately I don't think its DAC sampling issue... I checked it happends on any power level (not depending to the power level setting) and it happends in my case only on 40m (band 1). Also I realized that the power variation is sometime 0.5W and sometime 2W... and even more sometime its jumping up and sometime jumping down. What is most strange is that when I am not touching the band switching button it seems to be stable > even on lower power (instead of pre-set power) it does not changes. I checked our second K1 which is for long time used by my daddy and I did not realized anything like that on this radio. I will try to verify all parts around the Q5 as you suggested. I will be happy for any other kind of hint or tips... - 73 - Petr, OK1RP "Apple & Elecraft freak" B:http://ok1rp.blogspot.com MeWe: https://bit.ly/2HGPoDx MeWe: https://bit.ly/2FmwvDt -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.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

Re: [Elecraft] K1 manual revisions
Hi all, so another evening spent with K1... As Don suggested we stepped back and revised the band module for correct winding and resistance check. I found that all LPF cores are not correct. L9-L10 with 22t instead of 21t and L11-L12 with 14t instead of 15t for 40/20m band. So I am going to reworking them. Also we went thru voltage check on RF board and all seems ok according to alignment manual page. Finaly we re-checked all diodes for type and polarity as it is most common issue mentioned in troubleshooting manual pages. OK Next part - today evening... 73 - 73 - Petr, OK1RP "Apple & Elecraft freak" B:http://ok1rp.blogspot.com MeWe: https://bit.ly/2HGPoDx MeWe: https://bit.ly/2FmwvDt -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.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

Re: [Elecraft] K1 manual revisions
Hi Don and Bert, as I noticed this evening > troubleshooting nor alignment parts are not same in the different Rev. of K1 manuals. Our sick K1 is also from 2000... RF board Rev. D, 2000 so I am using the manual Revision D, Dec 1, 2000. Unfortunately when I measured the resistances on page 45 (J7, J8 test points) I found the J7 pin 6 has 5.6kOhms to GND but table on page 45 says it should be >100k. What makes me confusing is that when I opened the later manual Revision F, January 24, 2002 I found that in the same table on page 45 the value of J7 pin 6 should be 5-7kOhms which souns ok compare to my measured value 5.6kOhms... ?! Don can you let me know some hints what it could means in that case please? The rest values are same in both tables and measured values are also corresponding to it. Bert I will send you the proper manual for your K1 (we have same Rev. ) > Revision D, Dec 1, 2000 by email. I got it from Don (many thanks Don!!)

Re: [Elecraft] [K1] TX part sick
Don, many thanks for hints. I will re-check all cores on RF board as same as on band module... We got this K1 in "repair needs" state from friend and the receiver sounds nice at the moment. So I would like to finish the repairing of TX path which burned to builder probably during alignment. I will let you know... at this moment I checked on RF board that T4 is wounded ok (not nice but correct) but T3 has more turns on secondary winding side. I will check all others to be sure there is no more mistakes. I do not know if the final transistor survived the last action > but we will see.

[Elecraft] [K1] TX part sick
Hi all, I am trying to repair the son's K1 where the TX seems to be sick. (receiver sounds hot and quite nice on both bands 40/20m) I found several C0G caps around the cores on the module board burned as same as K1 relay so I replaced them all after long time searching them on the market (EU). Now I am trying to check step by step according to manual the RF board (RF 2000 Rev.D) and I found that original builder (we did not built it) wound 5 turns of secondary T3 (green wire) instead of 4 described in manual. Should I remove the turn from T3 or is it possible to adjust the TX even with that mistake? I would like to avoid another burns...

Hi, I guess you do not need to removing cells even you planning to put on shelf for 2-3 months when you have NiMH inside.

In all cases thanks for hint. - 73 - Petr, OK1RP "Apple & Elecraft freak" B:http://ok1rp.blogspot.com G+:http://goo.gl/w3u2s9 G+: http://goo.gl/gP99xq -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.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] KX3 booster
Jim, thanks for info. In fact I spurned the RM Italy for the same reason. Maybe the solution is here: http://www.jumaradio.com/juma-pa100/ ...but Juma has not the kit in stock for long time. Also the price is a bit above the budget. - 73 - Petr, OK1RP "Apple & Elecraft freak" B:http://ok1rp.blogspot.com G+:http://goo.gl/w3u2s9 G+: http://goo.gl/gP99xq -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.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
[Elecraft] KX3 booster
Hi all, I would like to ask if someone is tested or even using some 100W-150W non-Elecraft booster for KX3? I am looking for something cheap but reliable and found this small toy: http://www.rmitaly.us/index.php?main_page=product_info_id=128 The big disadvantage is that T/R switching is RF VOX by relays (no QSK available on CW) and second complain lack of output band-pass filters bank. Is there someone who has an experiences with that small amp from RM Italy please? (I do not want to remove my KPA500 from the rack...) Any hints or tips are appreciated. - 73 - Petr, OK1RP "Apple & Elecraft freak" B:http://ok1rp.blogspot.com G+:http://goo.gl/w3u2s9 G+: http://goo.gl/gP99xq -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.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] Elecraft 20th Anniversary
Hi all, in order to celebrate the 20th anniversary ... we should remind us quickly the Elecraft history :) https://plus.google.com/100312042524727617304/posts/Aetym2bVCji?hl=eng I do not remember the Safari 4 but the rest of all rigs I know or even most of them I have in shack.

[Elecraft] 1.5V recharchable AA cells for KX3?
Hi all, did anybody tested these PURE ENERGY RAM cells AA size 1,5V / 3000mAh in KX3? I found in spec. that they are Alkaline-Manganese technology cells which are not dedicated for permanent high current (over 1A) consumption equipment... It is promising 12V instead of 9.6V in 8pcs pack. the only external charger should be used as same as LiPol...

[Elecraft] KX3 receiver performance
Hi all, no, it is not the message about some issue... I would like to just share the experiences with KX3 receiver which is working like champ. I was able to compare it with some big Icoms during my business trip last weeks and I was completely shocked. Several stations on 20m CW were simply not hearable on them while my KX3 heard all of them comfortably. Very weak but readable ... Only because lack of power I did not worked some of these DX stations but thanks to APF, NR and low noise floor I was able to copy them on the KX3 only. Sensitivity must be also better because I was not able to hear some of IBP beacons in the other radios even although I tried to use all available features... No, I am no going to opening dispute for Icoms over here, just saying "good job Elecraft" ! (I did not compared it to my fully upgraded and loaded K3 yet... and I hope it is not better, hihi) - 73 - Petr, OK1RP "Apple & Elecraft freak" B:http://ok1rp.blogspot.com G+:http://goo.gl/w3u2s9 G+: http://goo.gl/gP99xq -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.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] Conditions, shmonditions: DXing anyway
Hi Wayne, thanks for nice example. Definitely agree. I am using the pitch set to 360Hz for long time and it is the best result for myself... after long time testing and experimenting with my K3. The 250Hz roofing with the "filtering on the K3 dialed down to 100-150Hz and 30Hz audio peaking filter (APF) turned on as same as the noise blanker optimized" is the standard setup which I am using for daily operation on CW and it is famous for DX hunting as same as for rag-chews. The only think I have on K3 f/w if it is possible to implement the "automatic fine tuning 1Hz rate" while the APF is on as it is already in KX3. Thanks for all of the nice CW features on your machines Wayne! - 73 - Petr, OK1RP "Apple & Elecraft freak" B:http://ok1rp.blogspot.com G+:http://goo.gl/w3u2s9 G+: http://goo.gl/gP99xq -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.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
