[Elecraft] Transmitting audio file

[Todd Ruby]

Hello everyone 
The other day a DX station recorded my transmission and asked me if I’d like to 
hear how I sound. I said,”sure”, and then he replayed it on the air for me to 
hear. 

My question is how do I do this? My soundcard feeds the audio into my MacBook 
Pro, and the Pizeo app records it. 

Question how do I key the rig to transmit the recording?

tnx in advance

[todd ruby]

Hello
I just unpacked my K3 after FD and I am not hearing any audio from the built in 
speaker although I am hearing fine with headphones. This must be something 
simple. Can anyone help me out?

[Elecraft] Deaf and dumb K3

[Todd Ruby]

Thanks to everyone who emailed me suggestions. I left the rig off and left my 
house for an hour, it's working perfectly again. There must be an intermittent, 
but I don't know where or what it is.

[Elecraft] deaf and dumb K3

[todd ruby]

Hi,
I was just operating on 15 cw working west Africa no problem, changed bands and 
all of a sudden no audio and no power out! RX ant is not engaged. Does anyone 
have any suggestions?

The radio has been fine last night and 20 minutes ago and again to restate, it 
has no audio and no power out even into a dummy load

Any help would be appreciated

thanks

[Elecraft] Slight distortion on DVR playback

[todd ruby]

All of a sudden I am experiencing a slight distortion on the playback from my 
DVR while preparing for Sweepstakes. Mic gain and compression at 15 as always. 
I had just recorded for CQWW recently and it sounded perfect. Anyone have any 
ideas what may be causing this?

thanks

[Elecraft] downloading firmware 5.52 beta

[todd ruby]

I have followed the instructions as accurately as I know how and now I have the 
zip file for 5.52 in a folder on my Mac desktop. I have instructed the Utility 
to go to this folder and then clicked Check Revisions Now, but I am still only 
seeing V. 5.5 which I just downloaded with ease.

Can anyone give me a little assistance

[Elecraft] K3 boards

[todd ruby]

I have a self assembled K3 and at the time I did not want to get the board that 
had the second SO-239 antenna port but now I do. I do not see it as being 
available on the Elecraft site. As a matter of fact there is little in the way 
of further K3 hardware support.
 
Also I wanted to install the KIO3B board with USB and the board that has the 
12,10 and 6 meter preamplifiers on it, which is standard on the K3S. Are these 
boards not possible to be installed on a K3?

Thanks to all

[Elecraft] PL-259 connectors

[Todd Ruby]

Friends,
The only PL-259 connectors any amateur should ever use are the ones from  
Amphenol stamped 83-1SP. 

If you don't believe me, you can easily discuss this issue with Frank, W3LPL. 
If you are at Dayton, he'll be covering various topics during Contest 
University or gabbing with contesters and DXers at the Crowne Plaza. He is a 
very good person to know if you don't know him already.

Re: [Elecraft] RFI and Direct tv or Dish network

[Todd Ruby]

Not that I'm a fan of Verizon the company, I'm not, but FIOS will rid you of 
all RFI blues. 

My neighbors had Comcast and I would get the dreaded phone call time and again 
that I was messing up their TV. Thank goodness they are great people. Then they 
switched to FIOS and now I can contest to my heart's content running 1.5 kW 
with my 4 element SteppIR 100' above their TV room. No more RFI phone calls!

Re: [Elecraft] circuit breaker

[Todd Ruby]

Well Ron, I guess there's a first time for everything. Although the radio was 
deaf and dumb, I had display function and it looked as it normally does after 
turning on the power. There was just no receive nor output power. 

I turned it off, pressed the 20 amp circuit breaker on the rear panel and sigs 
were coming through the headphones and I had full power. 

Today it's also operating perfectly.

[Elecraft] circuit breaker

[todd ruby]

Would anyone venture to guess what would cause the circuit breaker to trip on a 
K3? Mine did all of a sudden yesterday. Fortunately, my friend suggested the 
reset and voila, I am back on the air. But if there is an underlying cause, I 
think it would be wise to be aware of it so as to preclude this episode from 
repeating. Any thoughts are welcome.

[Elecraft] Dead K3

[todd ruby]

This is a new and disturbing issue. I had just made 2 contacts one to Congo on 
CW on 15 one to Serbia on SSB on 20 and I was just monitoring a station and 
reading something when all of a sudden his signal went silent and I had no 
output power whatsoever! I did not touch the radio at all, it just went dead on 
xmit and rx. 

Does anyone have any idea what has happened?

[Elecraft] Dead K3 all of a sudden

[todd ruby]

Hello
I was just on 20M everything working perfectly. I went up to take a shower, 
came back down and now there is 0W output power, all TX calibrations have 
failed and I can’t hear any signals on any band.

Would could possibly happened.

Any ideas would be much appreciated,

[Elecraft] Elecraft website and Fios

[todd ruby]

From what I can determine, some areas in the US can not get the HTML of the 
site to open using Fios, regardless of the browser. I just sent 10 successful 
pings with an average time of 77 ms. The trace route did not time out and got 
to elecraft.com  in 77 ms. I spoke to a 4th level tech 
who along with 2 of her colleagues raised the site with no problems. They were 
not here in MD though. I also have heard a user in Plano, TX with the same 
issue.

Since it’s the weekend, let’s see if they can get to the bottom of it by next 
week.

[Elecraft] switching VFO A knob to B VFO

[todd ruby]

Is it possible when operating split to use the larger A VFO knob to control the 
B VFO and the smaller B knob to set the A VFO freq? I am asking this as I will 
be operating W1AW/3  and if I have to work split it would be easier to leave 
the xmit freq controlled by the smaller knob and tune the “spread” with the 
large VFO A knob.

I hope I made sense and would appreciate any suggestions.

tnx

I had been trying to find out why when using external spkrs the balance was off

perfectly balanced spkrs. The AFX with headphones I find to be a must however.

[Elecraft] firmware upgrade

it is indicated that version 4.86 is available along with accompanying DSP

[Elecraft] stereo channel output balance

Is there any way to control the balance on the output coming from the spkr 
output jack on the back panel? I have a pair of KLM mini monitors but one side 
sounds louder that the other. When I swap speaker wires the other channel gets 
louder so I am hoping there is a way to even the stereo balance if there is one.

[Elecraft] APF

[todd ruby]

Dear List Readers
Eureka moment! I finally figured out how to use the APF effectively, and it 
really does work on digging out weak sigs. XZ1Z was virtually indecipherable 
until I started messing with the APF. All of a sudden, I heard him Q5 (enough) 
to hear him come back to me distinctly. Thank you Elecraft and thank you Zorro!

[Elecraft] APF

[todd ruby]

I have received 2 inquiries about how to use the APF. Well, I’ll put it to you 
this way. I used to be a photographer and used a 5X7 view camera. The image on 
the viewing glass was upside down, both the front (lens board) and rear (view 
glass) board swiveled from side to side and up and down. It was very 
frustrating for a 20 year old perfectionist to figure out how to manuever 
either of the boards together or individually to get the desired image. My 
teacher was very Zen about it. He said “F….k with it until it looks right.

Basically this is what I did to pull in Zorro in Myanmar who was a hair above 
the noise level. Every time I used the APF previously I got too much ringing 
and couldn’t hear the signal I wanted to zero in on. Truly, today it was a 
matter of opening up the width and lowering the shift to get rid of the ring, 
then playing with the two until I could hear his signal at its best. Switching 
back to the regular roofing filter (400 hz) didn’t cut it. The APF isolated 
Zorro enough to copy him Q5.

So my answer and my future technique will rely on messing with both the width 
and the shift until you can get rid of the ring and eke out the signal.

I am sure Don Wilhelm, Wayne and Jim Brown will weigh in on me being overly 
simplistic but it worked for me and we are both in each others log!

[Elecraft] ERR 12 V message

[todd ruby]

I just got this error message for the first time on my K3 after a normal tune 
up on 20M. Now I have no use of the KPA3 and the the LPA I running at 75° C! 
Not good. I also received the message telling me to check the circuit breaker. 
The three FETs on the LPA are 6 months old and mounded with the correct heat 
dissipating washers. 

I had been using the radio earlier in the day and operation was perfectly normal

Any guidance?

Thanks

[Elecraft] Foot switch

[todd ruby]

The Linemaster Clipper is totally  bombproof and will out live you and me. I 
love mine and since my mike is connected to the front panel, I plug the foot 
switch into the adapter. It's heavy enough to stay in place on a tiled floor 
and you can pound the day lights out of it during a contest.

I'm also very interested if the issue listed  below is fixed.
In the last contest PEP power output in SSB mode was up and down 25%
on my Alpha 87A and the other amp.

the mike and it will peak at the full 1.5 kw only to revert to a  
lower level on subsequent keying of the mike.


this has not happened on any  other of the day since the radio went QRV

[Elecraft] K3 and linear amp

[Todd Ruby]

My K3 #339 went QRV yesterday afternoon after successfully  
downloading firmware via the upgraded Mac utility. The previous  
version of the utility, which I had downloaded weeks ago in  
anticipation, did not allow for successful DSP firmware download.  
With the new utility it was a breeze.


I received excellent audio reports especially after raising the  
compression to about 50%. I received 59+20 and excellent audio from  
central europe. My QTH is MD.


One question remains and it is probably ridiculously simple but I can  
not see it. How do I get the K3 to trigger the relay in my Ameritron  
AL 1200?. I see no connection for a cable to the amp nor nothing in  
the config menu.


thanks in advance!
