[Elecraft] KX3 HI CUR warning and shutdown when headset is used

Whenever the PHONES jack is connected to a headset the KX3 goes into a a HI CUR warning and then shuts down the radio. Have tried different headsets including the Elecraft AD-1-K with the same results. Not able to find any help in the manual, or web searchs. Any help would be appreciated, I am

[Elecraft] KX2 and W4OP loop

Hi guys-just wanted to report that I had a fun weekend using the KX2 and my new W4OP loop outdoors. First was Saturday on the 7QP party, and managed some contacts all around the country on 20 M before I got frozen out..today was warmer and I did a SOTA activation (W70/WV-138 Skyline Ridge) and

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Looking for Oregon/Idaho Eclipse accommodation

I would recommend some QTH between Wenatchee and Spokane, WA. Most of that area is high country,and not subject to coastal climates. ID is just acouple hours' drive away, in case you decide to visit. Trouble is, I don't know if Wenatchee is east enough for the eclipse path. I'm pretty

Here on the Oregon Coast overcast is common, particularly before noon. The National Weather Service currently predicts we have a 64% chance of overcast skies on August 21st, at least in the morning hours. If we get to see any more than a darkening of the sky, we will consider ourselves lucky.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA 500 runaway

Mine typically undershoots after a band change. OTOH, if I set Config -> Tune Pwr to Nor, activate Tune and adjust the K3S to drive the KPA500 to 500W for example, when I hit the key to transmit I get 600W. Power control in the K3 is, shall we say, different from analog control and not

It takes perseverance and luck to view a total solar on land. Murphy rules the weather on those days. My wife and I have been extremely lucky to have been on four successful eclipse viewing sea cruises. The extra mobility of a ship helps. For this August, we've booked with an alumni travel group

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Looking for Oregon/Idaho Eclipse accommodation

Oregon's weather is pretty predictable. August is in our dry season. It is very rarely cloudy let alone is the weather inclement. There is a very high chance of it being clear during the eclipse. 73 & Clear Skies, Kevin. KD5ONS On 5/7/2017 3:39 PM, David Anderson via

Re: [Elecraft] kxusb question

Well I just put a scope on a KXUSB connector and it measures 5.04 Volts DC. So I really think it will work as long as you combine the Ring and Tip signals to the Tip of a plug for the ICOM Also note that the program interface on ICOM Dual Band Mobiles is on the Ring of one of the Speaker

Re: [Elecraft] kxusb question

Uh, No. CI-V is a CSMA-CD type of system, with station addressing. RS-232 is nothing like it. You can’t just put RxD and TxD on the same wire. Data format is way different. Ken K6MR From: Nr4c Sent: Sunday, May 7, 2017 10:56 AM To: barry

Re: [Elecraft] kxusb question

I believe you are close. The plug is not the issue. The RX and TX RS232 signals are separated on the KXUSB plug. One on tip, other on ring. The ICOM has both signals on the tip. So a short jumper combining the tip and ring signals on the tip of a mono plug should get you going. Sent from my

Re: [Elecraft] kxusb question

The Icom interface uses a single line for transmit and receive data (plus ground.) It is known as the CI-V interface. The KXUSB is not directly compatible, although a simple adapter circuit could be made. USB CI-V interface cables do exist and can be purchased on eBay or from Amazon for around

[Elecraft] KPA 500 runaway

I think I have the same issue with my K3S and KPA500. When changing bands the output is initially slightly higher during the first transmission and it then drops until the next band change. I do not use the KPA500 often and never looked into what the cause is. John KK9A From: cx7tt Sat May 6

Re: [Elecraft] kxusb question

Barry, If the Icom jack is mono, then I think the answer is NO. The tip of the KUSB is TXD and the ring is RXD. Both are necessary for RS-232 communications. If I recall, the Icom uses a special interface that is not RS-232 compatible. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/7/2017 8:00 AM, barry whittemore

I have a KXUSB and was wondering if i can use it with an ICOM 706. I am going to do a trip with the 706 for the June VHF contest and think it is basically the same except that it has a stereo plug and the 706 is mono. is the ring in the KXUSB used? I do not wish to damage either thing. Thanks

I'm taking my K2/10 to a school on Wednesday to do a demonstration. I have a 10m fiberglass pole, and my plan is to hook a wire to it and either lean it against something or bungee-cord tie it to a bike rack or whatever is there. I will deploy a counterpoise wire on the ground. Given that it is
