[Elecraft] P3 use

I agree on the absolute fantastic gain of using a P3.. even if you don't have one!! I have LP-PAN and PSDR-IF for my K3... (so its my P3 with SVGA) and like previous List commenters I fell in love with the ability to scan the band for activity and see sigs I might pounce on given strength etc.

[Elecraft] K3 remote VFO (KX3 too, for that matter)

Just as a point of interest, while I have used HRD in the past, I mostly use PSDR-IF with my K3 alongside LP-PAN. But same thing applies to PSDR, NaP3 I expect and HRD. I use a Logitech Evolution MX mouse, which has programmable buttons, but moreover has an accelerating free spinning mouse

[Elecraft] slowing down the bug - carpenter's stair guages

Not to lessen the content of QST to ARRL members... but I have info from the author of the article re. slowing down bugs for 5 bucks. Go to Canadian Tire and buy a pair for about $5. These square gauges or staircase gauges are manufactured by Johnson (nope, not EF Johnson). You will find

[Elecraft] PITCH audio F-X in K3? has that been proposed?

Maybe I am WAY late for 'this party' but I recently have found I quite enjoy the PITCH audio FX on the KX3. Has it ever been proposed to include this PITCH option as an AFX on the K3? I've been using DELAY (simulated stereo) on the K3 since, like, forever...but the PITCH afx on the KX3 I have

[Elecraft] SDR with KX3? IF-PSDR use?

With all the talk of trying to get KX3 working with NaP3... I have to ask.What about using IF-PSDR? I use IF-PSDR on my K3 with LP-Pan/Bridge and like it.I tried NaP3 last winter (when I was active before good weather) and I found I did not like it. That's me, I guess. Anyone know why the

[Elecraft] an alternative to the standard computer mouse

While I don't YET have SDR running on my KX3,I have been running SDR software on my K3 and my Flex 3000 for some time now. At one time I worked in an office dealing with workplace injuries, and part of that was injury claims stemming fromergonomic issues in workplace computer use.We had a lot

[Elecraft] using RX shift 8 on KX3 - re VFO noise

You lucky people.. I am now going leave the Yahoo KX3 list and use the Elecraft list for all KX3 postings, the way it should be. Forever and amen... :) Anyhow... Last weekend was the first time I really had some time to hook up my KX3 and work some stuff. Bands seemed great, and I worked

[Elecraft] sound cards for SDR

While I agree that the Delta 44 sound card does seem to be de facto choice, there are a few, some current and some not, also described on the LP PAN web page as possible choices. I ended up using an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 PCI card for my K3 into IF PSDR and LP PAN. The previous box, which

[Elecraft] KX3- laptops for I/Q

I realize we are all still waiting for the KX3... somewhat patiently.In advance of that.. I know there has been some discussion already on soundcards to make use of the I/Q output. But... I did want to raise the ugly spectre of the 'laptop' computer.I solved my soundcard issue on

[Elecraft] some advice if considering LP PAN, LP Bridge and your computer for K3 PSDR

My apologies for a bit of divergence. This concerns implementation of LP PAN and LP Bridge with PSDR for the K3. Old hat perhaps, now that the P3 product exists. In my case, living in Canada, I was not really willing to consider a P3 at this time, with respect, as an Elecraft product. We have

[Elecraft] Tom Hammond - SK

I would like as well to express my condolences at Tom's passing, and to posthumously thank him again for all he had done for us since 1998. I know he knew he was a valued person. Men like him make this hobby so much more than a passtime. They make it a pleasure. We will all miss him. 72 OM

[Elecraft] Optivisor

Following on the magnifier thread. I settled for a cheap-o head magnifier sometime back when I had some sudden need. It was OK, but I still wanted better. I just did some searches for the Donegan Optical Optivisor (mentioned in the recent threads) and found their web site has a dealer

[Elecraft] Not hearing signals in K2 with EC2 enclosure KPA100/KAT100 combo

On the weekend, I picked up a nice K2 set - a K2 with internal tuner and battery, plus the remoting of the KAT100 and KPA100 built into an EC2 enclosure. All set up for QRP in field/portabl/patio or full 100 watts in the shack. But an odd thing... this all came from a very reliable ham (a

[Elecraft] checking IF output problem from K3XVA? none detected...

Hi. I installed a K3XVA board into the K3 in order to get IF output for an LP PAN and PSDR. I was not seeing signals on PSDR, nor any input levels on the sound card inputs, so began to question if I actually HAD output from the K3XV. It was recommended to me that I feed the IF output into

[Elecraft] No spot button on HRD?

I seem to have come late to the party on some things and been missing some joy :) Last Friday I bought a USB-Serial adapter so I could get ready for the installation of the LP PAN outfit I will be getting going (after I open up and get the KXV3A installed). Anyhow, I thought I would first

[Elecraft] K1 -: internal tuner or external T1 tuner?

Hi all. With the K1, is it better or equal to have the internal tuner built and installed internally in the K1 or is there a performance factor (better?) to use the external T1 tuner? Thought I would ask and get something ordered before the price changes. tnx Brien VE3VAW

Re: [Elecraft] K3: Shift is at *61, not where it was before

I have noticed what I think is small but inexplicable change in my K3 shift. Up until a few weeks ago (when I had some other odd issue with the sidetone going to zero hz, thus the crystal filter not seeming to work...) my shift centre frequency was 60. That is, that is where I think the

[Elecraft] K3: sidetone goes to ZERO... CW filter 'lost' - an interesting problem

On the weekend I once again thought about trying out PSK31... its been ages (last time was pretty close to when it 'came out' and the Steven Ford - I think- article was in QST). I did have fun with it... and was very interested in how well it worked for such low power (that was out of my K2 I

[Elecraft] K1- want to buy K1

Interested in buying a used K1. Preferably 4 bands, but will consider 2 band (my tired eyes is that close, middle or far distance? preclude me from really wanting to build the whole rig.. but I guess I can do a band module...). I've paid my dues building K2s, a K1, NorCal stuff, Small Wonders

RE: [Elecraft] how to run KAT100 and control software re. two control cables

Thanks to all for the reference to p.25 of the KAT100 manual on this subject. Chastised myself - chalk it up to reading the pdf file on slow computer :) and the page scrolling by me in a chunky way I guess. Brian ___ Elecraft mailing list Post

[Elecraft] how to run KAT100 and control software - re. two control cables

OK. Honestly I have searched the mail list archives and manuals...and cannot find the answer I have a K2 with 100 w PA (so that serves in place of K102 i/w aux bus), and the KAT100 tuner. A cable runs from the K2 aux DB9 to the tuner. Now, I want to run a cable from my computer to allow

[Elecraft] K3: power supply for K3/100? solid suggestions?

Simply put. For thhose of us getting a K3 with a 100 watt option. What power supply to get? Let's not beat about the bush.. suitable p/s with the amperage required. I see a lot of reviews etc. and negatives on some etc. I just want a good supply, no hum, no trouble, no issues. I will say

[Elecraft] restrictive CQs? SKCC, Fists etc. - protocol on who we can play with

Well, I just gotta ask. It really seems a lot of the CQs I hear are CQ FISTS and CQ SKCC. Are these persons bothered if I reply and just want a QSO/rag chew/contact and don't need their number and won't send one in return - or don't favour a hand key? I just don't see the sense in sending

[Elecraft] what a useful forum here (still) - PA Hot message - TPA

Hi. Sort of checking out the ability to send to the List pending K3 traffic when the rigs get out. Did want to say - the pending issueance of the K3 has seen me assiduously working on my CW to make the K3 a deserved rig when I can catch one on the future runs. I've been pretty much off the
