[Elecraft] K2 Loss of functions on 20M & 17M bands
Thanks Don (W3FPR), Monty(K2DLJ) & Ray (SM5XLP) for your helpful replies. I have now studied the circuit diagram of the KPA100 and identified the 20/17M filter section you refer to. This weekend I will try re-flowing the solder joints of the 5 capacitors & two toroids and will check continuity between Test Point 2 & the PL 239 socket all as Don detailed. I will let you know the results, thank you 73 de Ray, G3XLG __ 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 - EZ problem
Rebooting has already been tried - to no avail. I am sure it a problem within my computer, however have never experienced it before. A search gave the usual Microsoft run in circle answers. Nothing that helped. Any ideas?

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 kit shipping estimate
I didn't order my kit till Jan 9th, :( I bet kits ship out faster than factory builds. Hopefully they have been stock piling kits while the manual was being refined.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 kit shipping estimate
I went back this morning to the tracking list and the date of Dec 30th was changed to Dec 28th. So whoever entered it went back and changed it to the actual date. So I am guessing the wait for my Dec 31st order is likely still much longer than I thought it was only a couple days ago.

Joe, I am trying to figure out what you mean. You must be referring to one of the kits with band options but your message does not say which one. I am guessing the KX1.

[Elecraft] P3 cursors
I'm still getting used to my new P3. The original P3 firmware had the baud rate bug, and when I changed to 01.16, all was well (K3 f/w 4.50). I then loaded K3 f/w 4.51 for better AGC - and here's the confusion: Under 4.50, I coulda' sworned that the P3 cursor for VFO B (violet) was only displayed when the SUB rcvr was on (good, avoids clutter), but now (4.51) it is displayed continuously. Am I mistaken? Have I pushed some hidden button?(it's possible) I do find it distracting. Incidentally, it seems that I prefer to leave the P3 in "fixed-tune" mode. In "tracking" mode, the VFO B cursor chases itself up and down the band. Unfortunately, I've given my borrowed KE7X book back to its rightful owner, so I have to ask you guys. (OK, OK, I'll get my own copy!) One other thing - what do you guys do with MKRA and MKRB? I can't seem to find a practical use for that feature.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 cursors
Well, the markers are very handy for measuring the difference between two signals on the display. I have also found them handy for marking the boundaries of a range of frequencies, like if a dx station is working 5 to 10 UP, I can mark the range with the markers and then look for the pileup in the range. Keeps me from wandering too far away and getting into other conversations. And, of course, if you set marker A to a signal up the band, and press the knob on the P3, it will QSY to K3 to that frequency. Marker B does the same for VFO B or the SUB. As you get used to the P3, you'll find more and more uses for it. I feel absolutely blind without it now. ...bill nr4c. -Original Message- From: Ralph Parker [mailto:ve...@dccnet.com] Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2012 3:28 PM To: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] P3 cursors I'm still getting used to my new P3.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 cursors
Hi Ralph, The violet VFO B cursor is present whether the sub RX is on or off. As another poster commented you can turn it off with a menu change. And I suppose you could set a FN button up to do it if you prefer. I also prefer fixed tune and rarely use tracking mode. I don't use the markers. When I see a signal I'm interested in I just spin the VFO A or VFO B dial on the K3. But I could see a use if you want to tag a station but not QSY to his frequency just yet. But then again I could spin the VFO B dial to the frequency and then just hit A/B when I want to actually QSY to that frequency. Hey, there's some features on the K3 I never use as well. But it's nice to know they're there just in case. 73, Mike K2MK Ralph Parker wrote > > I'm still getting used to my new P3.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 cursors
>If you turn the VFO B menu item OFF then the VFO B cursor is not displayed, >unless you turn SPLIT on. In that case you DO get the cursor. Hmmm... Tnx, Vic, maybe that's what I was thinking of, although I thought I remember the B cursor being violet, not red as in 'split'. More details that are lost in the mists of time :-) I spent a lot of time chasing the 7O in 'split' mode, so maybe the cursor was red after all. Perhaps Wayne or Eric will straighten me out.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 order backlog
I wondered if Akihabara was the same as it was back in the early 70s. It was a kit builder's paradise. Pick up a basket at one end of the bazaar, grab as many of each component as desired, and pay at the end. No blister packs here! 72/73 de Jim - AD6CW On 5/17/2012 6:25 PM, ~BG~ wrote: > 12/27...

Re: [Elecraft] P3 cursors
When you activate the markers, the knob will move them. Let's be sure we're talking apples and apples. The cursor is the wide band that indicates the bandwidth. It is moved with the vfo a/b knob. The markers are accessed by taping or holding the [Marker] button on the right edge of the p3 and adjusting them via the knob on the p3. Once a marker is set, you can QSY to the marker location by pressing the knob, and the cursor/radio dial will now show the new frequency. ...bill nr4c -Original Message- From: hawley, charles j jr [mailto:c-haw...@illinois.edu] Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2012 5:34 PM To: Bill Conkling Cc: Ralph Parker; Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] P3 cursors Oh...how do you move cursers with out tuning?

Re: [Elecraft] P3 cursors
Yes, the P3 markers are good for measuring the frequency difference between two signals. If as well that difference (delta) could be shown textually on the P3 it would be even better. Can't be that difficult to do. How about it Elecraft ? 73 Stewart G3RXQ On Thu, 17 May 2012 16:30:22 -0400, Bill Conkling wrote: > Well, the markers are very handy for measuring the difference between two > signals on the display.
