Re: [Elecraft] P3 drift

The P3 has a reference oscillator that is adjustable in the menu. It can drift relative to the K3. I need to do a more careful test to try to determine where the drift is originating. 73, Victor, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel Formerly K2VCO http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ On 9 Dec 2017 23:29, lmarion

Re: [Elecraft] P3 drift

I think that if it were the K3, then I would hear a change in the pitch of a signal over the first few minutes, and I haven't noticed that. I think I'm going to do a more careful test: tune to RWM (the Russian version of WWV, which is good and loud here) and see what the change is on the K3 and

Good Evening,    A dusting of snow started this sunny week.  Each night into the upper 20s, each day up into the 40s.  Great week to collect wood and bring it home.  I have enough to get me through the end of the year now to get another two month's worth in before the rains return.  Since I

Re: [Elecraft] New K3S build filter placement

Tom, That should work fine. Just set the menu (or easier still, use K3Utility) to set the proper filter widths and offsets. 73, Don W3FPR On 12/9/2017 8:24 PM, Tom Norris wrote: I have made my way to preparing to install the filters I purchased for the project. I have read (someplace) that

[Elecraft] New K3S build filter placement

I have made my way to preparing to install the filters I purchased for the project. I have read (someplace) that I could place the filters on the RF board skipping the locations that I might later decide to add. With thoughts of possibly adding narrower SSB and data filters I am planning to

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 not operational after move to Florida

Ken, That message says the key or PTT jack is active, and the KX3 'thinks' the dot contact is closed. Do you have a microphone plugged in? If the PTT button is stuck, it will cause that error. If that is not the problem, do you have a stereo 3.5mm plug with nothing connected to it? Plug

So I have the K3s TCXO, and no P3 drift. Are they not related? 73 Leroy AB7CE -Original Message- From: Vic Rosenthal Sent: Saturday, December 09, 2017 3:44 AM To: Elecraft Reflector Subject: [Elecraft] P3 drift My K3 seems quite stable (at least for CW purposes) although I don’t

Re: [Elecraft] P3 drift

Hi Vic, I do have the .5 TXCO but also have the ref board attached and a GPSDO which updates constantly and the software I use, NMEATime 2 updates the computer time every minute to 6 digits out. That said, the K3 is always dead on but as to the P3, I never have noticed the P3 doing

[Elecraft] Fw: VFO B / Decode

Dear Zac, I am not sure how it might work on your KX3, but the  K3 will hold the " VFO B decode" window open on both RX and TX. The setting I discovered to get there is press "TEXT DEC" button, then use VFO B to select "CW 5-40" (or whatever speed) then press "TEXT DEC" again. It locks VFO B

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 not operational after move to Florida

Make sure the internal cables are seated. Mine was acting very weird once and that fixed it. You probably already did that when removing the modules, but it is worth mentioning. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Dec 9, 2017, at 9:55 AM,

[Elecraft] KX3 not operational after move to Florida

Hi guys. Well the move to FL went okay, but it looks like the KX3 does not like the sunshine state. I was setting up for the 10 meter contest, and the KX3 was acting 'funny'. When I turned it on, the display showed ERR KEY, with no key plugged in. Tried EE INIT and reloading the configuration

[Elecraft] P3 drift

My K3 seems quite stable (at least for CW purposes) although I don’t have a TCXO. But there is considerable drift in my P3 for the first 15 minutes or so after turn-on. This is noticeable when the span is narrow (5 kHz). I wonder if anyone has thought about the possibility of stabilizing it?
