We had a problem in the ice maker of a new fridge, the warranty service company kept sending out a couple of early 20 somethings who spent all the time on the phone following instructions.

Re: [Elecraft] Suggestion re dealing with Xfinity and similar
The bulk of consumer electronics, like wi-fi routers, is covered under Part 15, and it is therefore the responsibility of the operator of the Part 15 gear to deal with interference issues, NOT a neighborhood ham. Hams are not responsible for interference to Part 15 gear. In fact, Part 15 gear has the following information on it, usually on a sticker (emphasis mine): This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to > the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful > interference, and *(2) this device must accept any interference received, > including interference that may cause undesired operation.* -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 73, Gwen, NG3P On Wed, Oct 20, 2021 at 8:20 PM Steve Stutman wrote: > Hi, > > When needing to get a result from anything publicly regulated, consider > using something other than the interwebs or 800 number. > > K6MR points in the right direction. > > Specifically: > > Write a certified letter, return receipt requested, to the CEO or president > of the involved entity and cc: via the same method to head of your Public > Utilities Commission, or whatever you have in 6, as suggested by Ken. > > State your case and surrounding events clearly, much as you have done here > on the list. > > Point out that you are a licensed operator of a Federally licensed radio > station. > > It may say Amateur, but it is still Federally regulated and you have > rights. > > You might state your degree of willingness to work with them to solve their > problems at no cost; I know of a couple of instances in which people were > intimidated and apologetically bent over backwards twice and of one case in > which the op told them to pound sand and threatened to identify their > technical incompetence to the media. > > First two people got some results over the course of weeks, the third > person got action in two hours. > > One presumes that there is some technical competence somewhere in the > company, but obviously not so with the representatives coming to your door. > > If, in fact, your station is causing any issues, the most likely cause is > that they are using poorly designed, offshore manufactured equipment. > > The various type acceptances on a lot of gear are printed on a label, but > not measured in a lab; hard to imagine. > > > When I get on 20m here my "smoke and monoxide" detectors sound off.

[Elecraft] Suggestion re dealing with Xfinity and similar
Hi, When needing to get a result from anything publicly regulated, consider using something other than the interwebs or 800 number. K6MR points in the right direction. Specifically: Write a certified letter, return receipt requested, to the CEO or president of the involved entity and cc: via the same method to head of your Public Utilities Commission, or whatever you have in 6, as suggested by Ken. State your case and surrounding events clearly, much as you have done here on the list. Point out that you are a licensed operator of a Federally licensed radio station. It may say Amateur, but it is still Federally regulated and you have rights. You might state your degree of willingness to work with them to solve their problems at no cost; I know of a couple of instances in which people were intimidated and apologetically bent over backwards twice and of one case in which the op told them to pound sand and threatened to identify their technical incompetence to the media. First two people got some results over the course of weeks, the third person got action in two hours. One presumes that there is some technical competence somewhere in the company, but obviously not so with the representatives coming to your door. If, in fact, your station is causing any issues, the most likely cause is that they are using poorly designed, offshore manufactured equipment. The various type acceptances on a lot of gear are printed on a label, but not measured in a lab; hard to imagine. When I get on 20m here my "smoke and monoxide" detectors sound off. One of these days I'll run more than 100W, but one presumes it's just RF getting into poorly shielded gear. FWIW, these same detectors occasionally spontaneously sound off every year or two at O dark. Company has replaced six detectors three times; I wonder why? Over the years I have sent certified letters to utilities to deal with issues in a professional capacity as well as personally, i.e. stuff at the house. In most cases it will get you engaged with someone who is both knowledgeable and in authority. Certainly not someone who blames "an antenna" for second rate gear in a poorly designed system. Hope that you are able to get a good response and get your 'net back. 73, Steve KL7JT/1 __ 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] Suggestion for ???
Dale, Thank you for that vote of confidence. I have made several attempts to create a book of K2 (K1 or KX1) troubleshooting that is more than what is in the Elecraft manuals. I have failed due to the specifics of the possible failures. I can relate a solution to a specific set of circumstances, but those circumstances are not universal, so the approach must address the problem while still holding the attention of the reader (who has only one specific problem). I can write a book about how the K2 operates and what the common failures are, but there are a lot of subtle problems that can only be addressed by a one-on-one discussion of the conditions present in any one situation. Perhaps someday I will create such a book, but in the meantime, please feel free to email me at d...@w3fpr.com for a one-on-one discussion of your problem and my analysis of your observed symptoms. 73, Don W3FPR On 12/22/2011 8:01 PM, Dale Putnam wrote: > Ok.. this is brief, and to the point. > There is, and has been a whole LOT of trouble shooting wisdom shared on this > reflector. > I'm not picking out any one person, but Don would be a great start, add in > others too, > with a publication of all that is offered by Don, on a product.

[Elecraft] Suggestion for K3 transmit audio improvement
My K3 (#3873) has better transmit and receive audio than my Mark V, which I thought was awesome. (Except the Mark V had a MUCH better internal speaker). One disadvantage I have found with My K3 transmit audio is that you must choose between 2.7kHz or lower bandwidth or 3.3kHz bandwidth or higher. I prefer to run about 2.9 - 3.0 for rag chewing. When using non-ESSB mode, you are limited by the crystal filter, and when the ESSB mode is engaged, you can turn the menu bandwidth down to 3.0kHz but it is really about 3.3kHz wide on the transmitted signal. This has been my experience on my K3 and watching other K3s on the air in the band scope. It seems like a fairly easy fix to adjust the ESSB menu alignment so we can really turn our bandwidth down to 3.0 or even a little less. This is my request to Elecraft. Thanks!

Re: [Elecraft] Suggestion
Good point. The Utility will let you snap a baseline of your rig settings, today. What may be easier to use also is, upon finalizing your settings on the K3, you snap the baseline of the config via the Utility. Time passes and you screw up your K3 config.. you get it out of wack and want to go back (or more important know exactly what you changed between then and now).. I'd rather see the Utility give you a display or file of what the deltas are between the last known baseline and current. No sense in sifting through two lists of all-config terms and look for the diffs. Let the Utility do the 'diff -bu baseline current | less' The Was/Is deltas on current-screwed-up K3 and last baseline of K3 may reveal just a very small handful of attributes (config settings) that are deviate. This capability should be in the Utility, and it (as well as every other function in the Utility) should be a plugin so other ham radio controlling software can make use if it in their interfaces... Just a pet peave of mine. No API to the Utility... snort huff puff grumble. > It's probably a good idea for everyone to store a known good configuration > every now and then...just in case.

If you've made a recent backup, sure you just restore the radio. it's an easy programming mod to store the current state of a setting so an undo key could pop it back if you bumped the wrong knob it come in handy for someone. It's not a big deal, just a suggestion.

You'd be surprised how much trouble that little "save" button can cause when you dealing with data on a network. I've preached till I'm blue in the face NOT to modify data on the server but to copy it down, do your thing, then save it with a different related name back to the server where it gets backed up hourly.

I believe the question was how to recover if you get yourself into an unknown state and don't know how you got there. The K3 Utility's RESTORE CONFIG routine is very simple and only takes a few minutes. It's probably a good idea for everyone to store a known good configuration every now and then...just in case.

Re: [Elecraft] Suggestion
...Ah the [UNDO] button. Such a simple elegant idea. Where it is available I use it without any thinking, and with great relief. Some developers of software for the MACINTOSH, where the 'undo' feature is explicitly defined and encouraged, say that fully 50% of total development effort of an application arises from the work required to implement the 'undo' feature. At least, the early Macintosh desigh thinking included explicit provision for the undo capability. I am constantly intrigued by the overwhelming disposition of software engineering to develop functionality without any thought to integrating a 'reverse' gear. Everyone seems so focused on 'the way ahead', that being able to back up--go in reverse--is not considered. In the earliest stages of system architecture design, if the 'undo' capability isn't explicitly emphasized, then the ability to evolve this is unknowingly sacrificed. ...and it is a capability that can't be developed as a afterthought. The second most intelligent creature on this planet could have been a serious competitor for humans were it not for two omissions in its early evolution, omissions that can't be added on after the fact. The octopus doesn't have a a back bone (it is an invertebrate) and it has only a one year life span. MORAL: No matter how hard you try you can't undo the omission of an undo capability. :-) Richard K5BWV Adam Koczarski wrote: .. ... > > I was thinking the same thing yesterday.

Re: [Elecraft] Suggestion
Hi Lynn, It helps to think of it in this way: - the large knob on the left controls what's on the large display that's shifted to the left - the small knob on the right controls what's on the small display that's shifted the right To change it now would cause a huge amount of turmoil, discontent, documentation changes, and endless firmware revisions, so we simply can't do this. Making it a menu selection would be even worse. We had a target size in mind for the K3, and I believe we've optimized the UI within those constraints.

Re: [Elecraft] Suggestion for K3 re Spot Tuning Operation
Les: Here's another suggestion for the K3. When using Spot on CW, the tuning appears to switch automatically to "fine" from "coarse" mode. That makes sense, at least temporarily. But then it stays in "fine" mode, even if one started in "coarse" mode. It would be better, I think, if it switched back automatically to "coarse" mode after perhaps 6 seconds or so, if one started in coarse mode. This would make it easier to tune around the band looking for stations, check one station briefly, and move to check others. I guess the ideal would be giving users a menu option whether they wanted to stay in fine mode after using Spot (as it now is) or auto switch back to coarse mode. Do you have a really old firmware version loaded? The problem was fixed I think) a LONG time ago... If you are having this problem with a 'current' firmware release, then it's been 'broken' as the result of recent 'fixes' to something else. I used this feature several times yesterday on a known current version of the firmware and every time I re returned to 'normal' (not coarse) mode when CWT was completed. 73, Tom Hammond N0SS ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
