Re: [Elecraft] K3 signal at 28004

2016-12-10 Thread James Bennett
Hank - I had that same signal at 28.004 and it was caused by my KAT500, as I recall. Elecraft has a fix for that - simple mod to the KAT500, if I recall correctly. Do you have a KAT500 and have you possibly removed power from it? If so, that's probably where your signal has gone. Just a

Don't forget that you will have to send your call sign every 10 minutes, and at the start and end of your QSO with your router. On Sat, 2016-12-10 at 10:13 -0800, Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT wrote: > Of course, you can't do anything "commercial" while running higher > power, like streaming video.

Of course, you can't do anything "commercial" while running higher power, like streaming video. If you're using a remote that you pay for, using your QRO WiFi to access it through the internet might be "commercial." On 12/10/2016 10:07 AM, Bob Nielsen wrote: Channels 1 through 8 are in a ham

Channels 1 through 8 are in a ham band so you could legally run much higher power than non-licensed devices are allowed. On 12/10/16 8:22 AM, Fred Jensen wrote: I was able to make a very significant improvement in WiFi speed by selecting a channel instead of letting the AT Uverse router do

Ed, It may be worth remembering that CAT5e cable is rated to handle signals of up to 100MHz. As you move from 10Mb to 100Mb to 1Gb ethernet and beyond, the demands on the cable increase. For 1000Base-T (1Gb) CAT5 is not recommended, you are better off with CAT5e. Beyond that, you need CAT6 or

Re: [Elecraft] Adjust ALC in Data A mode, with KX3

David, I use my KX3 to run WSPR, JT65, and JT9, using DATA-A. It does take a bit of trial and error, but once you find the “golden settings” between the KX3 and your sound card, things will be fine. I use a Tascam US-125M sound card; its output controls are set to about the 1:00 mark. With

I was able to make a very significant improvement in WiFi speed by selecting a channel instead of letting the AT Uverse router do it. Apparently, everyone around us is in "let the router do it" mode, and they are concentrated in the middle of the spectrum [3, 4, 5, 6, and 7]. Last time I

David, The most likely problem is that you have too much output from the sound card. Try putting a 10 dB attenuator in the cable between the soundcard and the KX3 MIC input - 100k in series with 10k from the KX3 end of that resistor to the shield should do nicely. The KX3 has an audio

Hi, I've just re-acquired a KX3, and have been trying it on JT65. As per recommendations I have been trying to use Data A mode, but trying to adjust the drive level is a nightmare, and getting the required 4-5 bars of ALC has been near impossible. If I switch to USB mode, I can set the drive
