Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 F/W 2.09 Beta released. Also new KPA1500 Utility.

2019-03-01 Thread William Johnson
Eric,

Thank you for the update.  I did find that I needed to reduce transceiver 
output from where I had it set ~26 W to 21 W to keep within legal output.  
Other wise no issues.  I do use BYP for tuner as I have a remote tuner.

Subject: [Elecraft] KPA1500 F/W 2.09 Beta released. Also new KPA1500 Utility.

KPA1500 F/W 2.09 Beta has been released to the elecraft website. It can be 
downloaded from the support f/w- s/w page in the K-Line\KPA1500 section.

F/W 2.09 provides a significant improvement in ATU tuning results. It also an 
improves the communication of current radio frequency between the K3/K3S and the
1500 via the AUX cable. For those of you upgrading from 2.0, see the full 
release note list on the Support Firmware and Software page link below.

Both of these issues were highlighted in the recent "KPA-1500 tuner question" 
thread on the Elecraft email list. Our thanks to Scott-K9MA, Walt-WA1KKM, our 
regular KPA1500 Field Testers and others who have helped us quickly address 
these issues.

We also have a new KPA1500 Utility (Windows Version 1.19.2.21) on the same
KPA1500 page. Mac and Linux versions will appear soon. This utility version has 
several improvements and also fixes a bug where the erase ATU memories Utility 
button did not always perform the erase. (The erase always worked when done 
directly from the KPA1500 front panel menu.)


The Support Firmware and Software page can be found at:
https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Felecraft.com%2Fpages%2Ffirmware-softwaredata=02%7C01%7C%7C2c1b9acee83e4bf6fe0108d69e847e62%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435%7C1%7C0%7C636870689222668592sdata=U1E4SHGRWsoENj9cpjU%2BWTPPJzmNEelSjnQg2OjFuHo%3Dreserved=0

The new KPA1500 Utility, 2.09 beta instructions , release notes and a link to 
the beta download zip file are at the lower part of the KPA1500 section.

RE: [Elecraft] k2 control board r18, r19

2005-03-23 Thread William Johnson
I too built my K-2 and all accessories with the  RS soldering iron.
However, after reading all the interesting stuff on this reflector,
including the Hakko desoldering iron, I finally bought a soldering station
from Hakko and I can testify that soldering life will never be the same.
Incredible difference to have a professional level iron in one's hand.  Now
it is time to build again and I look forward to using it.

...
  Confession: I've built everything I've ever built,
including a K1, two KX1s, two Rock-Mites, an ATS-3 and
various test equipment, and now part of my K2...with
the same Radio Shack 30W pencil. I do, however, swap
out the tip once in a while! For solder, I use the RS
2% silver-bearing, thin solder...because it's so nice
and shiny!

  Using desoldering braid, also from RS, has never
been a problem. Placing the braid flat on a filled,
plated through-hole, I hold the iron vertically and
stick the tip into the spot where the hole is, under
the braid, and I watch for the flow of solder into the
braid. The result is a slick, clean hole. Never a
problem.

RE: [Elecraft] on the topic of autotuners

Three reasons:

1. (obvious) the integrated, automatic
pre-setting-per-antenna-per-VFO function, and the
(also obvious) dual antenna jack feature ... just way
too useful to not have.

2. (not so obvious) the LDG and most other relay-type
autotuners stop diddling the Ls and Cs when the
indicated VSWR ratio gets to a place where they decide
it's OK.  The Elecraft tuning algorithm is recursive,
passing the implicit null(s) and finding the real
one.  Once you have this feature, you won't go back.

3.  (also not obvious) the Elecraft autotuners do a
better job matching the odd, and often abruptly high
impedances of field antennas, than the LDG or the SGC

Hi, all concerned:

I have tinnitus and some hearing loss at age 61, and have found the 
PlaneQuiet NC-5 cans helpful in the shack and in the mfg shop where I'm a 
tech.  They're light, and they reduce the racket from HVAC, refrigerators, 
freezers, amp blowers, computer blowers, and so on.

Some plans fell through, and I have 4 NC-5 sets which were new last month, 
in original boxes, with instructions, warranty cards, carrying pouch, and AA

cell.  These are the ones over which Bose apparently threatened legal action

over patent infringements of some sort.

The supplier gets $75 a set singly; if you're interested at $60 a set 
shipped domestically, pls email me, [EMAIL PROTECTED] off-reflector.

RE: [Elecraft] SSB and MH2

2004-12-29 Thread William Johnson
Low and High on SSB is also in the perception of the listener.  If you think
they are on a specific freq. and tune using that then you may be off.  I
listen to nets where the net control can be off 50-70 Hz and I tune
accordingly.  Some lids think they are right on all the time... :-)

Subject: [Elecraft] SSB and MH2

On the recent topic of SSB audio reports, I got report of off 
frequency and too low on 17M USB today and have not found the problem 
yet.  RIT and XIT were off and 15MhHz WWV was within 5Hz according to my 
sound card.

I did the bandwidth mod while I built my KSB2, following the advice 
given here, and in the new KSB2 manual -- just about a week before the 
parts kit was announced.  At first I got reports of weak audio, and last 
night ran through the entire Spectrogram alignment (once on WinXP with 
my wife's computer, once on Linux under WINE).  Now it appears to be 
better, but there is still something wrong:.

This morning I was able to work KH6BB (USSS Missouri, Pearl Harbour, 
Hawaii) on 18m and got in the first time.  Op Lee reported that I was 
off frequency and too low.  Any idea what to check for?  The 
spectrogram plot looked a lot like the one in the paper...

I beg your pardon?

Before leaping to attack someone, perhaps you should consider whether 
the inference you object to was intended by the author, or just the way 
you read it?

I merely wished to state that in replying to Mike's post I wasn't 
agreeing with his strong criticism of Elecraft in failing to deliver the 
K2 Server. But since you want to pick an argument over it, I will now 
add that he does have a point. On page 20 of my KIO2 manual it states:

Using the K2REMOTE Control Program

K2REMOTE was developed by Elecraft to provide flexible remote control of 
the K2, even over the Internet (using TCP/IP).

I have been follwing Elecraft since the very first. My K2 S/N is 392, 
and I ordered the KIO2 right when it was announced. It doesn't matter 
what you say, K2 Server *was* originally promised.

However, if you had actually bothered to read my two postings on the 
subject, I think you might have come the conclusion I was saying that 
there are already enough ways to control the radio remotely that the 
absence of K2 Server is not an issue.

I await your apology.
