[Elecraft] K3 144 repeater settings?

2010-07-28 Thread Gil WA5YKK
Any and all with the 2 meter module; After a longish wait, my K3 came back to my QTH, all the circuits had been checked out, upgraded, revamped, firmware fine. I put it on the desk, attached my antennas, then went to the 144 MHz band - all but expecting to have it work like a dedicated 2

Olli, It is neither, it is an electret type, so it needs bias. The last response curve I saw for that element showed that the response is similar to the HC-5. 73, Don W3FPR Oliver Olli Dröse wrote: Hi guys, can somebody tell me what Heil capsule is in the ProSet K2 that Elecraft sells?

Gil, Be sure your 2 mtr antenna is hooked to the correct bnc. Push the RX Ant button so you see PRE. I used the K3 memory manager to input the freqs and offsets. The 2 meter set up doesn't have all the conveniences of a 2 mtr radio but the receiver is excellent. The rest of the settings. The

The Elecraft/Heil ProSet K2 uses the iC (Icom) electret mic element. It does not use either HC4, HC5 or new HC6. 73, ... Joe, W4TV On 7/28/2010 12:33 PM, Oliver Olli Dröse wrote: Hi guys, can somebody tell me what Heil capsule is in the ProSet K2 that Elecraft sells? HC-4 or HC-5?

[Elecraft] DIGOUT1 to switch K3's key out to two separate amps based on band (HF or 6m)

2010-07-28 Thread W7VH
I'd like to use DIGOUT1 to switch the K3's key out between two amps based on band (HF and 6m). I'm not that technical and am not used to designing little transistor switching circuits and wondered if you can give me some info on how to do it. I guess I'd need a transistor that would switch

[Elecraft] K1 Backlight Kit Insulator Card

I have finally started to install this kit as I needed to pop the rig open to fix a problem and wonder if I'm missing a part. When I opened the plastic envelope, I have four parts: 2 resistors, the LCD display, and the Backlight (with pins A K). According to the parts list, I should have a

Jon, I would use a 2N7000. The circuit could be quite easy - a 10k resistor from +12 volts (K3 +12 volts out will do fine) - the source goes to ground - the drain connects to the relay coil. I would strongly recommend a diode (1N400x) between the drain and ground (cathode toward the drain).

Yes, you are missing that part. You will need to contact Elecraft and ask for the missing piece - on the contact page at Elecraft site look for the e-mail for missing and spare parts request. On Wed, Jul 28, 2010 at 2:51 PM, Clark Macaulay KE4RQ clarkmacau...@yahoo.com wrote: According to the

[Elecraft] KRC2 Decoder Problem

2010-07-28 Thread Walter Miller, AJ6T
I recently assembled a KRC2 decoder for use with my K3, and I cannot get it to decode the 6-meter band. Unfortunately, almost all of the Elecraft documentation is oriented toward use of the KRC2 with the K2 rather than the K3. My PIC is labeled KRC2 1.5 (so it has the version 1.5 firmware

Walt, It may be that you need version 1.6 of the KRC2 firmware - but I will wait for Jack Brindle to answer with certainty. The last I heard is that the release of version 1.6 was delayed by the late discovery of a minor bug. Yes, 6 meter support was reported to be available in version 1.5,
