Re: [Elecraft] What minimum temperature should the K station be kept at during a hard freeze

Usually the limiting factor for low temperature in modern equipment is the LCD. They have a problem crystalizing much below freezing and thus are not usable in very cold temperatures. I hope thing don’t get too cold in your area - we are forecast to see 19F here in SW LA on Tuesday morning.

Re: [Elecraft] What happened to ALC?

Re: [Elecraft] What happened to ALC?

“The modulator” means “the modulator code in the DSP” of course. If the compression is done by RF limiting, I expect that is also done in the DSP. The ALC you are describing is transmitter gain ALC. That is different from audio gain ALC. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj

Re: [Elecraft] What happened to ALC?

"If so, the ALC would be before the modulator and compression after it." I remember modulators but there isn't one in my TS-590. I doubt there is one in any modern rig. In the TS-590 architecture compression is done in DSP (Digital Signal Processing) and ALC is applied way down path at a TX

Re: [Elecraft] What happened to ALC?

ALC is supposed to be linear, non-distorting. Change the level without changing the waveform. Compression is non-linear and changes (distorts) the waveform. I’ve read that the K3 uses RF limiting at the first IF for compression. If so, the ALC would be before the modulator and compression

Re: [Elecraft] What Two Bands would you pick for a K1?

I have a K1 built sometime ago with filter boards for all of the bands. The 4-band is 15,20,30,40 A 2-band for 80,17; another for 12,10. 75% of the time mine is used on 20M, the balance split between 30 and 40. IMHO one of the bands should be 20M. As the sun declines toward minimum,

Re: [Elecraft] What Two Bands would you pick for a K1?

> What Two Bands would you pick for a K1? > My first thoughts are 40 and 15, There are only six bands that Elecraft supports with KFL1-2 band parts: 80m, 40m, 30m, 20m, 17m, 15m. Some have customized their own boards for other bands, notably 160m and 10m. When I built a K1 in 2000, only

Re: [Elecraft] What Two Bands would you pick for a K1?

I agree with Paul. I have a K1-4 (40-30-20-15) I bought in about 2005. Our current position in the solar cycle says 20M for daytime and either 30 or 40 for nighttime. The choice between 30 and 40 would be personal. I've had better luck on 30m with QRP than on 40m over the years. I have never

Re: [Elecraft] What Two Bands would you pick for a K1?

This is an impossible question to answer because there are SO many variables that are based strictly on personal preferences. Many more on physical parameters (location, antenna availability, etc.) and even some on time (of day or, as in solar cycle ). As a start, make a list of all the

I use the standard SPLIT+1, NORMAL, SPLIT+5 pairing on the K3S PF Keys where each macro sets up the "unset" version. But I also use the K3 Utility macros to DISPLAY values when I'm troubleshooting, since I execute them directly from the Utility at that time. 73, Byron On 11/12/2015 06:56 AM,

Re: [Elecraft] What crystal filter do you use the most?

I am one of those folks who has the INRAD 700Hz filter (special-ordered by the guys at UNPCBs, http://www.unpcbs.com/). I use it exclusively for scanning the bands on CW. When I want to get tighter, I have the 400Hz filter below that. I've found that combination works wonderfully for me. For SSB,

Re: [Elecraft] What crystal filter do you use the most?

Bob, Good comments. I think those of us who have been in ham radio for many years still think of physical filters as doing the job of specifying the radio bandwidth and forget that today's radio often is digital or partially digital where DSP does the job and filters are only used

Re: [Elecraft] What crystal filter do you use the most?

Here 400 Hz on CW, 2800 Hz mostly on CW -- though I have the 1000 Hz filter for tuning on CW and one tighter one (2100 Hz) for more crowded SSB situations. If budget had been a concern, I'd have gone with 400 Hz and the stock 2700 Hz pair. 73, Phil W7OX On 9/28/15 12:35 PM, Dan Atchison
