[Elecraft] K3 KIO3 U1

2023-02-24 Thread Viggo Magnus Nilsen
Hello K3 owners. I need to replace U1 on the KIO3 board. In my K3 sn: 218x the part nr is: SN75C1406 G4. Is there any other SN75C1406 can be replaced with the ''old one''. Thanks in advance :-) 73 Viggo LA9NEA __ Elecraft

It doesn't matter how many "sound cards" are in the system. What does matter is that the one assigned to digital modes is not also assigned as the system "default" device. It is easy to get this wrong even when two or more "sound cards" are available. I think you guys may be assuming

I have a second sound card in my desktop PC dedicated to the digital modes. I thought the risk of inadvertent audio driving my rig was too high to do otherwise. I’ve heard some weird things on the digital frequencies! -- 73 de Mike Flowers, K6MKF, NCDXC - "It's about DX!" > On Feb 24,

I politely and firmly, disagree.  It's too prone to operator error and sending cruft that doesn't belong on the air. A SECOND internal card for radio, fine.  The only one; bad plan. Rick nk7i On 2/24/2023 3:22 PM, Wes wrote: There is nothing wrong with using the internal sound card for

CAT allows true rig split or "fake it" modes of WSJT-X. In either case the modulation frequency is limited to the range 1,500 to 2,000 Hz and any audio harmonics fall outside the TX passband of most transceivers. CAT and the WSJT-X split modes do not prevent generation of audio harmonics but

Thanks Alan, I'll take a look-see this weekend and see if it's something I can tackle. I've recently dealt with tiny flex connectors like that on another project, and it survived. :-) I'll be sure to come back here and report my findings. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE On 2023-02-24 13:23, Alan

Hi Dave, Another possibility is that perhaps one of the display connectors has come loose or is making a bad connection. I normally wouldn't recommend this since these tiny connectors are kind of tricky, but since the P3 isn't working anyway, there's nothing to lose. There are two

Well my 10+ yr old P3 seems to have finally bit the dust. I had been having issues with getting the internal display to turn on when powering the P3 up. I had found that by letting it run for a minute or so (the external display always worked), that I could then quickly cycle the power
