[Elecraft] ACC2 PTT 2.25/1.30 bug?

Love my KX3 but ran into some strange behavior as of late with some hangs. Running MCU 2.25 / DSP 1.30 when trying to change ACC2IO settings, when I turn VFOA to LO=Ptt the unit hangs on the LO=Ptt option - display freezes at LO=Ptt and I can't PWR off using ATU/BAND-. I've tried re-flashing

[Elecraft] Adjusting Filters (K3 newbie)

I am confused about the filters and the bandwidth display... I get a display that has 2 bars on far left and right. The Bandwidth widens and narrows the bars in the middle, but the bars stay at the edges? Like this: | || | narrows to | || | but, why not || or

Re: [Elecraft] ACC2 PTT 2.25/1.30 bug?

David, What do you have connected to the ACC2IO jack? Is there possibly anything there that could be holding that signal to ground? 73, Don W3FPR On 10/18/2014 9:27 AM, David - KI4UVC wrote: Love my KX3 but ran into some strange behavior as of late with some hangs. Running MCU 2.25 / DSP

[Elecraft] Digikeyer Connection to K3

I own a Digikeyer and acquired a second for the K3, used. Having trouble with the install. Win7 recognized the device, but only the USB Hub and Digikeyer devices. The Codecs are not recognized, specifically. I checked the jumpers to ensure RS-232 for the serial ports and that part works. My

The proper venue for individual microHAM support is supp...@microham.com The used one only finds the USB Hub and Microham Digikeyer (no CODECs nor 2 other drivers). There are only three USB devices in the original microHAM Digikeyer: one sound device - USB Audio CODEC, Generic USB Hub and

You are, of course, correct Joe. Thanks to Joe, Don, and others. That works better for now :) On Oct 18, 2014, at 6:55 AM, Joe Subich, W4TV wrote: You have APF engaged. *HOLD* the XFIL/Dual PB button. 73, ... Joe, W4TV -- http://www.qsl.net/k7on/ NAQCC #0470 FP #2990

Re: [Elecraft] ACC2 PTT 2.25/1.30 bug?

Nothing is connected to ACC2 currently - I was mucking around with menu settings. I tried reverting back to MCU2.23 and am having the same issue - radio hangs at any change in ACC2 settings. I didn't have this issue until I did the Extended Temp Calibration routine. Radio is in the low 6000

[Elecraft] K1 IF Amp Mod?

I thought the K1 was the commercial version of the Sierra. Didn't the Sierra predate Elecraft? BTW, the K1 is about the neatest QRP radio I own, even above my K2. I've built boards for every band 80M-10M, especially enjoy working from the patio @ 1W into an EFHW on 20M. It's my go to rig

[Elecraft] High vertical

I have an apartment on the top floor of a 10-story building with a small roof area accessible and restrictions on antenna size. I asked for advice here about antennas, and got a lot of suggestions and help, so I thought I would post my results. I put up an R8 vertical on a small building

[Elecraft] KX1 and Anker LION battery

I use an Elecraft KX1 and an Anker Astro Pro2 LION battery when I go QRP in the field. The combination works very well, and allows me to run the KX1 at the full 3 watt level. However, the last two times I used this arrangement, I had the Anker battery shut down on me. It would power right back

[Elecraft] FS: K2 with seperate amp/tuner and K1.

[Elecraft] PX3 User Help Needed PLS

Just received my PX3, Power cable has no fuse so I cannot hook up to my 50 amp supply What cord do I need to purchase? My main concern is I can not see a signal on it that I am listening to on the KX3. I see spikes and noise floor but no signals. I can adjust DISP, Average REF, SCALE, SPAN.

Re: [Elecraft] ACC2 PTT 2.25/1.30 bug?

David, I did not have my brain fully in gear on this situation before. The GPIO input is just that - an input to a 3 volt logic device with only a 500 ohm series resistor. So there is nothing to make it either a high nor a low level. In the digital world it is known as a 'floating input'

[Elecraft] KX3 TX Problem

My brother, W8TXT, has a problem with his KX3. In PTT, when he presses XMIT, the KX3 puts out 3 or 4 watts with the cw key still open. When the closes the CW key it puts out 10 to 12 watts and stays at that level. In LSB, he hits PTT and gets the same 3 to 4 watts out without an mic audio.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 TX Problem

Does he want to use CW or voice mode? If he wants to use voice, the mic will pick up whatever is in the room and transmit it. Also, if he wants to operate with voice, he really needs to set it up with the steps on page 15 of the manual. Really. wunder K6WRU CM87wj
