[Elecraft] Digital Mode Drive Setting Issues on K3S

2020-08-20 Thread Macka Murrah via Elecraft
I am trying to get my K3S set up for Winlink using the Vara digital modem for 
proper ALC operation.  When I set the drive using either the Windows sound card 
slider, the Vara modem slider, or the Mic drive, I get no bars as I turn the 
drive up from zero and suddenly I get 6 bars with the 6th and sometimes 5th 
bars flashing,.  I do not see a progression from 1-2-3 bars, etc. until I reach 
the desired 4 bars with the 5th bar flickering. I have a similar issue setting 
the drive for FT8. Why can’t I get a smooth progression from no bars tp 4-5 as 
I incense the drive?  I seem to remember no having this issue some time ago.

Reduce the level of the USB CODEK in Windows to about 30%. This will give you 
finer control with the Lin In control.

Re: [Elecraft] CW Sidetone and Line Out?

2020-08-20 Thread Bob Wilson, N6TV
There's a special setting only documented in the K3 Firmware Release Notes
 as follows:

* TX LINE OUT (MONITOR) LEVEL NOW ADJUSTABLE: In CONFIG:LIN OUT menu entry,
tap '2'  (REV switch) to set the "T=" level (TX monitor). Tap '2' again to
return to the RX LINE OUT setting.

So if you go to CONFIG:LIN OUT, then tap [2], you can change the sidetone
(monitor) level.

Bob, N6TV

[Elecraft] OT: RF interference from grow lights.

2020-08-20 Thread ab2tc
Hello all,

https://www.edn.com/how-cops-are-finding-grow-ops-with-am-radios/

The above is a link to an article in the EDN magazine (a technical journal
primarily aimed at EEs). The article is more than five years old, but maybe
it is only recently this type of interference has started to show up in
upstate New York. I have one of these noise sources somewhere in my
neighborhood (it’s not that easy to pinpoint due to the low frequency). I
know this is OT and maybe somewhat controversial, but this type of strong
interference is of great concern to the amateur radio community. I am not
after anybody in my neighborhood getting arrested, but I very much want to
see the interference stop. Even if the operation is legal, the emission is
definitely way outside FCC part 15 limits. Quote from the article:

“..conducted emission data clearly shows peaks as high as 100+ dBuV (50 dB
over the limit) in the range 6 to 8 MHz, with lower peaks at 14, 18, and 21
MHz.”

My interference is primarily in the 7MHz band. 14 MHz is virtually free of
it. See here for a screenshot:

http://www.ab2tc.com/growlights.png

There are three peaks, approximately 49 to 50kHz apart. The center one is
centered under the cross hair cursor. As you can see, the band is starting
to come to life at about 2:30 in the afternoon. The interference is on 24/7
as far as I can tell.

Does anybody have any experiences like this and/or any suggestions what to
do? If you want to keep this confidential, E-mail me privately. My E-mail
address is OK on qrz.com.

AB2TC – Knut

PS. I have previously reported power line noise to the electrical company
and have had positive responses (fixes) from them. I suspect that this kind
of interference is not easily detectable on their UHF based sniffers;
besides I am not sure if conducted interference from residences lies under
their jurisdiction (there are only residences here for many blocks).

Re: [Elecraft] Symbol T in KX3 display

Joe, you can download owner's manual/errata/accessory/tips etc here:

Page 8 of the manual describes all the display items.

Howdy Gang.

Been a while since I had a KX3 and just recently bought another one…I guess I 
just like them (grin).

In changing menu choices for my style of CW operating I noticed the letter T in 
the bottom right of the display next to the B VFO icon.

Believe this has something to do with digital operating but can’t remember.  
Waiting for the manual to arrive (omitted in shipment) so could some kind
Elecrafter out there clue me in?

In normal CW mode I don’t believe the T should be in the display.

Many thanks for jogging the memory of an old fool!!

Stay healthy and take care.

CU on the air, CW of course!!
