Good morning,
I have read some posts on using the KXV3A's Rec out and Rec in ports along side
the MFJ 1026 noise canceling unit. There is a relay that activates during
transmit and receive in the K3. Apparently the MFJ's T/R switching is not good
as the KXV3A's. Just wanted to know the exact
I noticed this for the first time in the 160M contest last night. It almost
sounds like aurora or a faulty relay at the transmit station. I switch to
the RX ant and everything was fine. I used my beverage a lot even to the USA
because of this. I found that when I had a chance to reboot the K3 the

My recently completed KPA100 has a birdie (not sure if that's the right
word) on
15 meters. If I set PA to OFF, it goes away. Unlike the birdie
reported at
3589 khz, through which I can tune smoothly, this one appears as steps:
21029.00 not heard
21029.01 high tone
21029.02 mid tone
Additional info:
The birdie also goes away when the power setting is clicked below
11 watts.

Hey Ralph Robby,

trouble getting to sleep because I was hearing all those phantom CW calls for
several hours before it subsided.

I have the Inrad 8 pole 500hz and also the 8 pole 250.Either is a
big improvement over the 1.8, which was previously my narrowest filter

for RTTY and works great for PSK. The 500 will support the 500 hz data

Bruce,
That is a bit of a mystery. I just checked a newly built K2/100 and
could find no instance of any response at all with no antenna connected.
There are no oscillators switched in and out when the KPA100 is active -
both oscillators in the KPA100 run whether the KPA100 is in-line or

Hi Bruce,
During my Kill Birdie project with my K2/100 #3255, I found that all of
the birdies which disappear if the KPA100 is *not* in use were caused by
the fundamental or a harmonic of the KPA100's HV Bias oscillator mixing with
the fundamental or harmonic of one or more of the other
You can use the built-in whip or you can connect an external noise antenna.
Just don't
make it resonant or put it too close to the transmitting antenna if you run
high power!

Exactly, if Dual Rx always on is not set, MM will kill the sub RX AND turn
off diversity every time you click on a spot to QSY. 73, Guy.

Personally I didn't find the built-in whip to be any use at all. But YMMV.

Julian,
The weekly SSB net will meet tomorrow (1/30/11) at 1800z on 14.314 MHz. I am
back from three nice weeks in south Florida and will be net
control from western Oregon. Thanks to Ken, KO5Y, and Paul, AD5SX, for a
great job filling in.
We'll arrange for relays to try to pull you all in. See you
It can be useful if you have a noise source right in the shack, like a
computer. I used a
short dipole installed near the power drop to my house, where most of the noise
seemed to
be coming from.

After watching the progress of APF for a few months I decided it was time to
upgrade to the latest firmware (4.25) and give it a try. When pressing the

products one LOUD clip for each 50 Hz step. I went to

Thanks to all of the responses. Dual RX always on helps with the sub-rx being
generally left on. However, the VFO-B window was still 'popping' at each CQ,
and
with dual-rx-always-on, a noticable 'chunk' is heard in the audio at the

Make sure that the front panel code is also updated. The proper version for
4.25 is 1.14.
Also make sure the proper DSP table is present when you update; it should be
DTBL0014.HEX.
If all the versions aren't synchronized you can have problems like you describe.

I am still getting the Not Installed message with the KNB2. I have built
and re-built the board, rewinding L1 and L2 twice and resoldering all the
joints again. Resistance between pins 1 and 6 is way up in the megohm
range. What should it be?Any suggestions would be welcome.
Brian
Brian,
A Not Installed indication for any K2 option indicates a problem with
either that option's microprocessor or a continuity on the AUXBUS
signal. Check the soldering, especially at the KNB2 firmware chip pin
1, as well as the other pins of the firmware chip.
The other possibilities
Barry,
You must have missed the link to The RF Connection webpage in a prior post.
Take a look at http://therfc.com/taiko.htm.
OTOH, if you are looking for a gratis donation, I don't have any and
cannot help.

I am selling my W2 with the 1.8-54 Mhz Coupler (2KW) for $150. Was built from
kit. Works perfect. Recently repaired/checked by Elecraft service. Has a small
scratch on left side panel near rear, easiliy touched up with black paint.
Please contact off list. Free shipping in USA. Selling in
I am selling both my LP-100 and EMU-0202 with all cables, etc. LP-100 was built
from kit. Works perfect. EMU-0202 is complete. EMU-0202 has a very small
scratch on top. Recently switched to P3, but the LP-PAN scope was stunning.
Asking $150 for the full set. Free shipping USA only.
Kermit
I'm a little confused :-). Are you selling an LP-PAN, and LP-100 and the
emu-202?

Hi,
I have a Samsung 46 LCD TV that is causing RFI on the 20m PSK calling freq
(14.070).
My station setup is a K2 powered by an Alinco DM-330 switcher. The
interference shows up in the waterfall display; it's about 1000 Hz wide
right on 14.070 (the coincidence is weird), doesn't move, and
