That is very easy to test, isn't it. Just tried on Ubuntu 17.10 "Live-CD" (just boot the desktop ISO without installing). This is what I get: ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Downloads/k3util_1_16_6_25$ ./k3util bash: ./k3util: No such file or directory /Johan, SM0XHJ On 2018-04-13 10:55, Gordon LaPoint

64-bit x86 Linux (or Windows for that mater) cannot natively run 32-bit applications. A 32-bit compatibility layer is needed. It is essentially an entire copy of the 32-bit version of the OS installed in parallel. On most Linux distributions this needs to be installed manually. On Windows the

Does it? Where can I download it for the Pi (ARM)? I do have a Pi in my sailing boat so a Pi version of KX3 Utility could be useful :-) /Johan On Thursday, 12 April 2018 17:32:33 CEST Thorpe, Jeffrey wrote: > KX3 Utility runs on my Pi. > > Jeff - kg7hdz > > > On Apr 12, 201

2018-03-29 Thread Johan Ymerson
Yes that's my experience to. I get much better IMD at 20W than at 12 W. It would be better if the KPA3A, if present, was used for anything above 10W. /Johan, SM0XHJ On Thursday, 29 March 2018 14:39:49 CEST Wes Stewart wrote: > Doubt that. From what I've gathered during a lot of TX IMD

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 "HI CUR" Warning

2018-03-25 Thread Johan Ymerson
Hi, Since it is displaying HI CUR it is more likely a short. I am not familiar with the KX2, but other Elecraft rigs has a spark gap across the antenna input. These devices are designed to fail safe, ie short, if overloaded. Not sure how to check that on a KX2 though. /Johan On Sunday, 25

There are certainly some decent cheap DMM's out there, but also some terrible. I had one (CH-something) that was quite accurate when the batteries was new, but when the battery voltage got lower, it showed >25% too much. It apparently used the battery voltage as voltage reference... Combined

Unfortunately there are some really crappy (cheap) BNC connectors out there, some with too large centre pins. Using one of those even once may be enought to damage the female side :-( So when you get a new female for your KX3, have a look at all your cables and adapters and make sure all of

Yes, the Signalink USB is 16-bit from what I remember. But on the other hand alost all rigs have a 16-bit audio DAC so that will be the limiting factor anyway (with K3 being the exception with a 24-bit DAC). Probably the biggest problem with the Signalink USB is not the interface itself, but
