[Elecraft] RTTY

I know this is "old hat" now, especially for serious RTTY buffs (which I am not!), but every time I work one of these DXpeditions on RTTY, just using the K3 and CW input, I get a big kick out of it. I just did that on 40 meters with TU7C in the Ivory Coast. I crank out CW at about 25-30 WPM

[Elecraft] VOX/PTT select macro ?

These problems bother me too. With a sound card hooked up, for RTTY I don't see a need for FSK, and I don't want to deal with PTT, except for SSB where I don't like VOX. So: Please Elecraft, let VOX/PTT be remembered separately for DATA and SSB. And, yes, the macro capability suggested is really

[Elecraft] K3 and PSK 31

I've really been enjoying my new used K3. I installed the KPA3A in it and have been very active on the CW bands. My question is this. I can't get psk 31 to work in my HRD...either in conjunction with Win4k3 or by itself. It works fine with Win4K3 by itself but I want the nice HRD waterfall

[Elecraft] Logging Software, P3 and the new KiOB3 Cables

Re: [Elecraft] K3 upgrade to K3S question

According to the Elecraft website, the rev C DSP board introduced the low frequency improvements that were then carried over to the rev D board. So if you add the LPF module to a rev C (a simple addition), you have the equivalent of the rev D without the need for a board swap. > > > You can

Re: [Elecraft] K3 upgrade to K3S question

Gernot, The DSP board upgrade did two things. It added a Low Pass Filter to reduce the high audio filter response which eliminated some high frequency 'hiss' that some operators objected to. Secondly, it changed some capacitor and resistor values which enhanced the low frequency response.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 upgrade to K3S question

Bill, thanks for pointing out to option (1). After reading all the suggestions I will very likely do the KSYN3A upgrades only. Regarding the USB/Sound card - I had to insert ground insulation for all the Audio/USB to PC connections to avoid ground loops. Does anybod know if this one is already

Re: [Elecraft] K3 upgrade to K3S question

Bill, Good to know there is a DSP Update - didn't recognized it yet. Rev C is installed so the only difference to Rev D is the 4 kHZ Audio LPF. Did you encounter situations with a noticable enhancement using the LPF? 73 Gernot, DF5RF

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Utility - "KX3 is not responding"

Jeff, Dropping the baud rate is not likely to solve the problem. For the firmware download, KX3 Utility sets the KX3 baud rate to 38400 automatically. I suspect you had a driver issue in your computer that was corrected by the update. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/12/2017 4:41 PM, Jeff Hughes wrote:

[Elecraft] K2 RF board

Hi all, I am just trying to make sure I don't have a problem on K2 rf board. L1 slug inductor can ground and one leg of capacitor C4 have a solder bridge and I can't tell if the pads were together or supposed to be kept separate. I'm thinking it is OK that they are bridged with solder.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Utility - "KX3 is not responding"

Jeff, if it's brand new, then I wouldn't fret about the baud rate. I bought a used station (KX3/PX3/KXPA100) and discovered that the communication baud rate with the amp in the station was 9600; and the baud rate standalone was 38400. It took a couple macro commands from the helpful folks here

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Utility - "KX3 is not responding"

Thanks, gentlemen. Well, the good news is I got my KX3 updated with the latest MCU and DSP firmware. In the ~10 minutes or so it took me to compose my message yesterday, the (different) computer I had connected to the radio just sat there. I guess it needed the rest… after sending off my

Re: [Elecraft] K3 upgrade to K3S question

The synthesizer upgrade makes a huge improvement in any medium CW speed operation and gets rid of a slight irregularity in CW formation when keying slower tx/rx transition amps. That's in addition to the superb lowering and narrowing of phase noise. I have this half notion to get a single rx K3

Re: [Elecraft] K3 upgrade to K3S question

When faced with the upgrade question, my choice for spending the money was to try out the IC-7300. I wouldn’t contend that the IC-7300 is equal to the K3S/P3, but the K3 and the IC-7300 combination may be more fun than the upgraded K3S for the same money. Jimmy Walker WA4ILO Macon, GA On Mar

Re: [Elecraft] K3 upgrade to K3S question

I consider that a real bargain for upgrading a 2008 vintage radio (when the K3 was introduced) to a 2015 vintage radio. Compare that with the cost of upgrading a YaKenCOM rig -- buy a new one. 73, Jim K9YC On Sun,3/12/2017 8:48 AM, briancom wrote: and almost a kilobuck Sent from my iPad

Re: [Elecraft] K3 upgrade to K3S question

Clarification. I've been doing, and undoing, these three upgrades to the SAME K3 at a shared station since the upgrades became available. I make the upgrades when I arrive and remove them when I leave the station. Seemed like a hassle at first, but now routine and quick after all the practice.

Re: [Elecraft] VOX/PTT select macro ?

Yes, I see now that VOX mode is remembered on CW, and separately on AFSK, SSB, AM, FM etc. The best alternative for now (short of Wayne adding VXn SET commands), is to avoid VOX mode except on CW. Configure digital software to generate PTT, and use a foot switch on phone. Most digital programs

Bill Exactly the problem I have. I would be happy with either a SET VXn command or the VOX state was mode dependent, SET VXn would be my preference. I am using 5.7 also and VOX is constant not mode dependent. Bob, if we are missing something in the config or menu settings that does make
