[Elecraft] KX3 WSJTX Split
I recieved this email from Japan ; "I decode you FT8 on 1840kHz that I send the JPG file to you. JAs are working split RX 1840kHz and TX 1908kHz. Please CQ JA on 1840kHz and RX 1908kHz if possible. The 160m frequency in Japan, 1810-1825kHz and 1907.5-1912.5kHz DATE Sunrise (GMT) in JA3 Apr 07: 20:34Z We hope to see you on 160m soon. TKS 73 Mas JA3FYC" I tried this, however on enable TX the VFO A and B become the same frequency on TX from wsjtx. I have cat ptt and cat control enabled, with rig split set. If I use the mic to key etc, the split remains, however something about wstx causes the VFO's to match on TX losing the split ? vk4tux -- 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] How to set up the KX3 as a Panadapter with almost any transceiver
Playing with my v5.24 HRD, it all works well with the KX3 under the K3 profile, apart from activating the ATU which doesnt work with ATU or Tune buttons. Has anyone modified the program cat control to do this if they could share please, thankyou.

Re: [Elecraft] HDSDR Mirrored spectrum
I had similar issue. i used a 3.5mm to 2.5mm audio cable (each end three segment), from a Yaesu SCU-39 cable kit I was not using which looked perfect for the job. However it turned out the centre segment was not wired, with same results as above. Initially I thought my line-in was possibly not stereo on rear of my Dell PC as it is a combo pink/blue mic/line in jack. Found a stereo 3.5mm cable and luckily a 2.5/2.5mm adaptor for one end. Looking much better, the display better than any of several others I have tried incl non free. I have found the Omni-rig cat control a little buggy sometimes, losing mode control, and freq readout offset. Re; setup and restart seems to get it back good. Early days, and I think i just need more practice. I am using a realtek sound card at the moment set 192KHz, and have ordered an ASUS Xonar U7 and an stereo isolation lit with audio lines. I would like a PX3 , however not at current pricing, and looking at a used unit if some one is selling.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 ATU
Don, When you say The ATU will tune the antenna to an acceptable SWR, you are contradicting yourself, because as you rightly said the tuner does not change the antenna feedpoint swr. So we tune the transceiver to the feedline length feeding the antenna. that feedline length is important regarding the 'measured' swr. A 1/2 wl will show the antenna feedpoint swr or impedance (with analyser). At the connection to the transceiver before any builtin or ext tuner. The indicated swr on the transceiver or ext tuner display shows the feed side of the tuner swr. In theory the swr along the feedline maintains value, but it's a very different story when you measure it. The 1/2 wl feedline connected to a high swr antenna feedpoint shows high swr at the tx feedline end, but cut the feedline at the 1/4wl point and measure there for a much different 'indicated' result. As the swr detectors in the transceiver or atu use this method also, it becomes obvious that feedline/coax length becomes a factor in showing the transceiver a good match when the antenna feedpoint impedance is other than 50 ohms.. The best thing you can do in a multiband antenna setups where antenna feedpoint impedance gets way off desired on certain bands, is to use the lowest loss feedline possible., because this is where most of your losses are, not the tuner. Remember only resistance can lose power as heat, not reactance. Every signal pass back up and down the feedline until sync radiation release occurs, loses power with every pass depending on the feedline specifications. Lucia, The Elecraft tuner (I don't care if it is a KAT2, KAT1, KXT1 o KXAT3) cannot change the the SWR of the antenna itself. The ATU will tune the antenna to an acceptable SWR so the PA transistor in the transceiver are happy. If you measure the SWR between the Tuner and the antenna, you will not see any change. The internal tuner does change the impedance that is seen by the PA transistors, and that is the goal of antenna tuners. 73, Don W3FPR -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KX3-ATU-tp7495809p7562956.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at 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] K3 JT 65-HF transmit?
Tony, brilliant advice! I also cant understand why anyone would waste money on an interface for use with a K3 when one is not needed, and I have done every data mode out there incl JT-65 with the K3 direct to PC. A ext good quality usb soundcard is handy, but that's about it. A German ham emailed me with a similar problem and I told him the same thing and he was astounded at the fact the K3 does not need an interface, Everything you need is built in, and now he is a very happy camper. Take the mickey-ham-ears out and try direct OM. Adrian ... vk4tux Tom, make sure your PC is generating audio out. Unplug the audio cable from the PC's line out and try to transmit. You should hear the audio tones coming out the speaker. If your K3 is set correctly and the PC is making audio, then the problem is that it is getting lost in whatever is between them. Whenever anyone posts a problem like yours, I always recommend the same thing: first, get it working with no interface. The K3 does not require a Microham or a Rigblaster or a Signalink or anything else to do digital modes. Take it out, hook the K3 to the PC with audio cables and key the K3 via CAT, and get your digital modes working that way. Then if you wish to re-insert an interface into your setup, you will more easily pinpoint problems if they arise.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 JT 65-HF transmit?
`Comments interweaved; First. the microHAM microKEYER II is a high quality external sound card with lower noise floor and higher dynamic range than standard OEM sound cards in many computers and better performance than the commodity USB sound cards used by many - including some of the 'made for ham radio' USB sound products. `There was no question on your product quality. In addition, most microHAM interfaces provide USB to serial rig control interfaces, many include a K1EL WinKey based keyer, *true FSK* support rather than a jitter prone software hack and several other station control options (including isolated Icom CI-V transceive emulation which allows automatic band switching of the Icom PW-1 from most non-Icom transceivers). `That's nice. There is no reason for you to be disagreeable about other users choices in accessories. While you may find something unnecessary, others may have good reasons for using them. `See on an interface for use with a K3 when one is not needed needed being the keyword, `hence when it is not needed then it is not necessary.

Re: [Elecraft] Antenna static charge precautions - any tips?
Unusual to see that as an issue withought using an amplifier, however the high antenna feedpoint impedance on such setups produce a high voltage at that point, despite the atu proving a 50 ohm impedance match to the transceiver. Baluns rated at 3-5 KW are so only at 1:1 swr. When swr raises to 5:1 on certail bands on a ocf setup then really you should derare the power rating by the denominator 5, such that a 5KW rating becomes 1KW. This will provide a long life on ocf setups etc. Recently I had to dismantle my antenna (brand name unnecessary) to take out a burned gas discharge tube. I had been operating it on a Warc band for which it was not designed, made possible by the efficient tuner of my K3. I was told that the tube might have/probably burned out because it was seeing a high SWR that, of course, was not actually corrected at the antenna (just in my radio, as expected). Now, if that was what happened, what is there to keep the same thing from happening in my K3? Obviously, there must be something! 73, Scott XE1/AA0AA; AA0AA -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Antenna-static-charge-precautions-any-tips-tp7562287p7562349.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at 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] Small got-ya to watch for when doing the K3 12VDC Out Current Mod
Ok, I was thinking the P3/SVGA drew less current at 15v than 12v, due to the 5/3.3/2.5/2.2 v pwr supply setup requiring less current at 15v input than it does at 14v input or less. I checked the K3 output with a 20 ohm/50w variable rheostat and it trips at 0.6amp or 600mA on my fluke 87. What most people notice is that the P3 will switch off after a period of operation when the resettable fuse finally heats enough to open.

Re: [Elecraft] K3Util Firmware version
Answered Inline; Beta firmware should not be installable by accident. Should have to go somewhere else on purpose, get it on purpose and install it quite on purpose. Same thing for retrograde firmware. ~The current firmware would remain the startup default and beta or old would need to be user selected from K3Util advanced submenu, by the user. Needing to go backward on an Elecraft firmware release is really very rare. ~Not lately Your particular issue has two sides to it as I have seen on the reflector, and maybe a dozen or two or three out of 6000+ owners going back to 4.48. That is not at all to diminish the complaints, but one needs to consider the vast majority when putting up possibilities in the main utility program. Mostly the utility has to be designed for new builders and newbie owners. ~The k3Utility should be designed for any K3 owner. The user selects could be a submenu of the advanced menu. Anytime new firmware does not meet expectations, the user should be able to easily revert back. I note that via the reflector copies of 4.48 were very quickly available.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] PSK31 Problem
Hi Roy, Until you find the issue sending four dots before the message may help, i.e. cqdx etc, such that the rxer sees cqdx at least. Yes the setup delay holds tx for that period at the end of tx input and does not provide a lead. The only suggestion I have is increasing : CONFIG:TX DLY.value, and/or Using a P3SVGA data tx method other than vox for psk31, where a enter or cntrl key sends the stored text entered..

Re: [Elecraft] P3 TX Audio monitoring
Gary, I had replied to your post, perhaps it went to you direct and I am on your naughty list ? ;) Anyhow if the K3 baud rate (rs-232 config) is not 38400 then that will do it. Some versions of firmware in the past would sync the K3-P3 to 38400, but I am not sure now. Anyhow check the baud rate. I used that trick with a PF assigned to change K3 baud rate to other than 38400 to chk my TX. It was good for one over and then would re-sync back to 38400. cheers Adrian -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/P3-TX-Audio-monitoring-tp7558585p7558602.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at 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] K3Util with LPBridge
Re: I guess I don't understand the need to have the K3 utility running all the time, but if you want to do that, get a PC board with 2 COM ports. Monty K2DLJ How does that work Monty, how can these two pc board comports be connected to the K3 simultaneously? When you say PC, do you mean a personal computer board? Why not explain yourself better if you in fact know what you are talking about? If K3Util had a inbuilt config check box to prevent (meta)autoload then it could be used simultaneously with other useful progs on the K3. I like using the terminal on FSK-D RTTY, that's why I asked. I also want to try it with W4P3. Easy enough to clear a checkbox and reconnect direct for firmware/config usage. Other than that is a terminal only version of K3Util a possibility Dick?

Re: [Elecraft] K3Util with LPBridge
Re: If LP-Bridge had a checkbox to permit the K3 Utility, it could also be used simultaneously with other programs, allowing the Terminal function. I spent a couple of days of testing and removed the use of the AI command wherever I could in the K3 Utility a couple of years ago (June of 2010 as I recall, but I may be off a bit), informed N8LP, and he chose to make no LP-Bridge changes to allow the K3 Utility to be connected. Easy enough as you say, but my time was wasted, as LP-Bridge wasn't changed. RF gain calibration fails if spurious input arrives, so it's still turned off (and restored) in RF Gain calibration. That's the only place in the K3 Utility that AIn; is changed. The K3 Utility has nothing in it that detects LP-Bridge and disallows use of the K3 Utility. May I gently suggest that it is the LP-Bridge author that might need to offer the checkbox to allow the K3 Utility to use LP-Bridge instead of the other way around? About the only thing you'd want to use it for would be the terminal page. Dick, K6KR Thankyou Dick, that was very informative. So it seems it is possible depending on LPBridge author etc. I did find some archive on your work togather from a year or two back. As you say the terminal function is what I want on collaboration with W4P3 etc, and I find it very good.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 psk D splater
I take it your running a typical 13.8v supply. Running a stiff 15v supply cleans up the K3 TX IM3 dramatically. The filter also keeps the key signals clean into the K3. You say the guy was talking bars on the psk signal. I guess he may not know what he is talking about. Next time you get a bad report, ask them to email a screenshot of your signal or report how wide it is. PSK-D is usually exceptionally clean, and the fix items I mentioned will ensure it stays that way. Loud (bars) does not mean wide. Why do you take notice of idiots like that with stupid non-sense reports. If you turn down your power he has less bars and now your signal is clean. Is that how this guy relates? You assumed he was right regarding your signal, because you asked here regarding answers, and it appears you are not interested in improving your TX IM3 dismissing the proven fixes. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-psk-D-splater-tp7556767p7556811.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at 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] Linux and K3 Utility
Do you run a nvidia linux driver? try nomodeset in kernel boot line. To set kernel boot options, you must edit your grub configuration. You can do this temporarily for a single boot by entering the grub menu. If you do not get to see the grub boot menu after the bios automatically, you may have to press SHIFT key after the bios logo to get in to grub: Select the default ubuntu kernel (usually the top one), and rather than pressing enter, press E to edit. Press DOWN ARROW until you get to the line that starts with Code:linux /boot and press END keys to position your cursor at the end of the that line usually ending with “quiet splash”.
