[Elecraft] K3 Mini

[n4cc]

Does anyone have a K3 mini that they would be willing to sell for a
reasonable price?  (or trade for a KAT500?)  Please reply directly to my
QRZ.com address.  Thanks.  73, Greg-N4CC

[Elecraft] K3 Mini - Loss of bias - side mic jack

[Frank VO1HP]

It appears I have lost the bias supply going to the side Mic jack on my K3
Mini.   There is no bias voltage on the tip of a test cable.  However there
is 4.7-4.8 volts appearing on pin 6 of the 8 pin front panel mic connector.

I note that turning on the Mini from a cold start I see 3.8vdc on the tip
of the test cable but it only lasts for a few seconds and very quickly
decays to zero.

The Menu setting rP.L bIAS is configured and turning the bias off/on by
tapping 2 does not effect the volatge 4.7 on pin 6 .  It is always on.

What do I do.?  I am not thrilled about taking the Mini apart as I have
ZERO technical information about how to dissaasemble it.  Nor do I have a
schematic to help ID where the fault may be.

I have an outboard bias box that came with my CM500 so I guess I can use
that in a pinch.

Any comments?

[Elecraft] K3 Mini

[W4IEN]

I am running my K3 Mini to my K3S via wireless.  I am running into a strange 
issue.  Every time I go into CW mode I am getting a ringing noise. I can get 
rid of the noise by changing the RF Gain.  The thing I am wondering about is I 
am not hearing any CW signals on 20m, 40m or 80m.  I am just wondering if there 
is something I have set wrong.  I am also wondering if the RF Gain is set 
properly.  I know this question is a little vague but I am in the last stages 
of getting this remote setup working well.   Any suggestions would be greatly 
appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

[Elecraft] K3 Mini Term Mode

[dgb]

I am remoteing with the Remote Rig twins, K3 Mini to my K3 at home.

Has been working good till all of a sudden. What happens is when I turn 
on the Mini, it goes into the Term mode as normal and I can hear stuff 
from the K3 at home BUT the Mini won't control the K3. The display is 
stuck on it's boot-up screen and the knobs does nothing, no control. I 
think the K3 hasn't shut off at home nor can I shut it off with no 
control from here. I have it hooked to a PC at home and a laptop here. 
Connecting with Teamviewer works well.


What should I look for?

thank you Dwight NS9I

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Mini Error question

[Mitch Wolfson , DJØQN / K7DX]

Jim,

This involves primarily configuring the radio side router to forward the 
correct UDP ports. It must be thoroughly tested before leaving the radio 
site on its own.


I have a checklist setup that walks you through this process and will 
forward it to you now in a separate mail.

The MicroHAM RRC systems use SIP over UDP on three different ports - one for 
voice data, one for CAT data, and one for control signals between the remote 
head and the unit body. If it's a SIP connection error you're seeing, it's 
because the two ends of the RRC system can't see each other (which, as you say, 
is the correct case because you haven't hooked up the remote unit yet).

If I'm barking up the wrong tree, please correct me.

John,

Thanks a lot.  I suspect it will be a challenge to get them communicating over 
the network down here, but maybe i’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Don’t be surprised if you hear from me again though.

No worries Jim, glad to be of assistance.

I've actually been testing a couple of these for a couple of years now, helping 
a friend who's bought them. We've had a whole world of pain with some bits (not

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Mini Error question

[Oliver Dröse]

Jim,

it's just an error report that there's no connection to the remote side. 
All fine as your remote is not connected yet. ;-)


SIP is the Session Initiation Protocol, basically the standard to 
initiate a digital phone contact (the RRC's are using exactly that, an 
VoIP connection).

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Mini Error question

[Barry Baines]

Jim:

If the K3-Mini is powered up through RRC but the ’target’ K3/K3S is not powered 
up and online, you’ll get a warning signal. This means that the mini is not 
’seeing’ the host transceiver.

Power up the K3/K3S and see if that doesn’t resolve the issue. If you’re still 
having issues, then check your cables for proper connection and that you indeed 
have internet between the K3-Mini site and the K3/K3S.  

Hope this helps,

[Elecraft] K3 Mini Error question

[Jim Cary]

I just packed up both my control and remote systems and moved them down to my 
ZF QTH, where they will be permanent.

I have the K3 mini hooked up to the control RRC unit, but haven’t hooked up the 
remote unit yet/

When I powered up the mini, and turned the volume control I got a three tone 
warning signal.  The light over the aux/mic cable is flashing yellow, which 
according to the Remote Rig manual means the SIP connection has failed…. but it 
isn’t clear what that means or what to do about it.  I’ve checked and doubled 
checked all the connections and they look good.

Does anyone not in the CQ contest (!!!) have an idea?

[Elecraft] K3/Mini

[Tom]

I just bought a used K3/mini to use with my remote base K3. I've been 
using my home K3 to control the remote base. I needed the separate 
control, as K8AJ, who I share the hack with, would like to have her 
"own" rig.
Anyway, for anyone who has a K3/mini, when you power it up, and it is 
not plugged into anything, does it act like it is looped, and all the 
knobs seem to work, and the VFO's etc move? Or does it act like a K3 in 
the remote mode, but with out a RS-232 connection, and just sit there?


Thank you

Tom K8TB

[Elecraft] K3 mini

[William Levy]

The K3 Mini only works witha K3. It does everything the K3 does when connected.
So your buddy should read the K3 manual.

He should also check out remotehamradio.com

[Elecraft] K3/Mini 0

[Dennis]

Got my new K3 Mini 0 today.  Since I didn't order the cable, I made one 
to take the
DB15 to the TTL only.  I'm using existing cables that I had already made 
to connect the Remote
Rig box to a keyer, microphone, and PTT footswitch, and the Mini works 
fine with my

Remote station.

When it arrived, I checked and I thought it was on firmware 4.83, which 
means I needed

to upgrade the firmware but I'm not sure how to connect the Mini to the
computer to get the upgrade.  I tried the USB cable, and it created two 
comports, but the
K3 Utility doesn't see the Mini when I attempt to use either of the 
Comports.  I had already
hooked up an RS232 cable to the Remote Rig Control box at Com1, and N1MM 
Logger
software is happily communicating with the Mini, but again, the K3 
Utility 1.13.5.9 doesn't
see the Mini using that comport.  I know the firmware updating 
recommendation is not to do
it through another piece of equipment, but if the K3 Utility doesn't 
even see the Mini its not
an option.  So, how do I update the firmware?  Since I went through 
this, I unplugged the
TTL cable from the RR box, and now the Mini shows me the actual firmware 
that it has
installed is 4.86, so no upgrade is currently needed, but I will 
probably need to update it

sometime in the future.

I was quite disappointed in the manual, particularly in what it didn't 
cover.  I already have a
working remote station, so I don't need all the diagrams that show how 
to hook up a
remote station using the RR boxes.  I do need more information on the 
Mini itself.
On the left side there are 3.5mm connectors for Spkrs and Mic; are those 
stereo or mono
jacks?  The Mic connector- would that be selectable in the firmware as 
the RPL, and the

front 8-pin connector the FPL?

On the right side, we have the USB port and the DC in.  Both 
self-explanatory, given that

cables are supplied for those two.

On the back, we have key, paddle, and ptt jacks.  Are these stereo or 
mono jacks?  If I had
the cabling from the DB 15 to the Aux/Mic and the I/O inputs on the 
Remote Rig, could I
then connect the computer keying to key, my paddle to paddle, and a 
footswitch to the PTT,

and the connections would then be passed on to the Remote Rig box?

Is there any way to CW key the Mini by sending CW on the DTR line and 
PTT on the RTS
line, via N1MM?  I've played with this for a little while, but haven't 
found a solution yet.


Thanks for assistance with any of the above matters.

Dennis W1UE

The K3 mini prototype was at Dayton last year too.  It has the same
front panel as the K3, but is not nearly as deep as the K3/0.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 mini ?

[Phil Wheeler]

I'm pretty late to the K3 game due to a decade or 
so focusing on other things than ham radio. I 
thought I knew that the K3/0 had to do with remote 
control and took the first message with subject 
K3/0 Mini to refer to a mini K3/0. The earlier 
ones on the K3 Mini were a bit confusing.  
Thanks for the clarification!

Read carefully.  Reference to K3/0 Mini.  Its a front panel only for remote 
operation of a K3/10 or K3/100

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Mini plug/jack mis-contact

[Don Wilhelm]

Aki,

There should be no difference in the various mini-plugs as long as they 
are the 3.5mm type.  If you are using a 2.5mm, it might work for a 
while, but will be loose in the jack and will not make good contact.


If you do have a 3.5mm plug and it is loosing contact, check to be 
certain the jacks protrude through the rear panel sufficiently.  If the 
KIO3 module is not properly seated, the jacks will be recessed and will 
cause the problem you seem to be having.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Mini plug/jack mis-contact

[n6ax]

I am having some of the usual dirty contact issues with the 3.5 mm 
plugsreaching back and 
twisting the plug in the socket restores normal operation.

I've seen this (as I a msure everyone else has) on lots of plugs with nickel 
(?) plating since 
that became the rage. Makes me long for the days of silver-plated 
everything..oh well.
