Re: [Elecraft] K3S no RF at CW

Yes, I have VOX enabled and FL1 with BW=2.8kHz is set as TX filter for all modes - no ERR_TXF. The K3S switches from RX to TX, the red TX LED blinks and I can hear my Morse code on another radio when TXing into dummy load. Just output power in CW mode is minuscule to 1 bar on RF indicator, read

Re: [Elecraft] A question about using the K3S with KPA500 on full break-in

Hi Steve, Maybe the K-line_intro_guide.pdf available at http://www.ke7x.com/home/k-line-introduction-and-set-up-guide might help. Although written for the K3, there isn't anything different you need to do for the K3S. 73, Fred KE7X For all KE7X Elecraft books, see

[Elecraft] A question about using the K3S with KPA500 on full break-in

G’day A good friend of mine for who English is not his first language is wanting to run full-break in with his K3S and KPA500. The KPA500 manual appears not to have a section in it on doing full break-in with the K3S. Please can someone on the list let me know what interconnections/cables are

Re: [Elecraft] Wire size for the ground on the KX2

Wire the same size as your antenna wire is fine. This is carrying RF currents, just like the wire in the air. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Jun 16, 2017, at 4:41 PM, Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft > wrote: > > Its a

[Elecraft] K3S no RF at CW

Hi Guys, My newly built K3S is TXing fine on SSB and SSB+CW but gives only a little RF power with CW or DATA MODE selected. The EE_INIT or reload of DSP 2.88 and upgrade to beta FW ver 5.60 does not help. I cannot find older FW on Elecraft website to check out. The DSP outputs only a very

Re: [Elecraft] Remote Operating Time Sync

Excellent While the ARRL Arduino project may also work, I’m a lot more familiar with the RPi, as I have a model 3 running here at home for my data QSOs with the KX3. As I mentioned in my original post, the need is for something I can take with me out in the field, so I’d also need to

Re: [Elecraft] Seeking input on KPA1500 station configurations

My 2 cents. Drop the RS232 line totally and have only an IP / Lan connection. This will solve so many connectivity issues. With a PC client software, it will just find the amplifier. This is what other Amp vendors are now doing and it is litterly plug and play. The next K-radio should also be

Re: [Elecraft] Remote Operating Time Sync

Jim. As you have experience with a Pi, with the addition of a GPS RX, you can make yourself a very good GPSD NTP server using that. Then, just hook that to the PC(s) that need time sync, by LAN or portable WiFi access point. http://www.satsignal.eu/ntp/Raspberry-Pi-NTP.htmlhas all you need

Re: [Elecraft] Remote Operating Time Sync

Hi. WSJT-X is not that critical, you only need to be within a second (or two at most) of UTC, & you can easily get well within +- 1 second with mk 1 finger and a call to the speaking clock, or listening to a broadcast time signal. Modern PC's don't drift that significantly over a few hours
