[Elecraft] Alumni question

Hi, I am wondering how many others on this reflector are part of the Case Tech Alumni or for the "younger ones" CWRU Alumni. I have recently had email exchanges with a couple hams who are active in the Case amateur radio station W8EDU. 73, Don W3FPR

I'm a big Pi fan myself. So if adding my voice provides any additional influence - here it is. I'm also a programmer and I agree there is extra work involved. If the utility was open source, then volunteers could join in and manage the tool chain and build. I would certainly be happy to

HiThe first 4 commands are almost exactly what WSJT-X issues. The band change probably is not finished before all the rest of the commands come along.In addition, issuing of P3 commands in a macro are particularly at risk.Have you ever noticed that a QSy on a marker using the P3 buttons didn't

Re: [Elecraft] Macros that need to be executed twice

HiFor your information..there are various reasons a macro needs to be sent twice to be effective. One is that radios appear to be "deaf" after a band change when in fact the band has not yet actually been changed.  This can effect more than just a macro. For example the WSJT-X application will

Re: [Elecraft] KXV3B Question

Jim, I cannot speak to your conclusions about your change from XV1 to XV2. What I can say is that your indication of a slow power increase in the output is usually a result of too little audio input to the K3(S). If you do not have audio sufficient to drive the K3 to 4 bars on the ALC meter

[Elecraft] KXV3B Question

I have been experiencing instability in drive to my K144XV/XV1/Beko HLV-1000. I may have traced it down to the K3s' KXV3B board by creating another transverter, XV2, with the same setup as XV1. I monitored the output of XVTR OUT with an RF power meter and 50 dummy load. I did observe a

Michael, I don't think that is adequate. First of all, use the highest frequency WWV that you can receive. Second, do not use AM-S. That mode will synchronize with the frequency of the AM carrier, and may not produce a true dial frequency. Us SSB - either LSB or LSB and tune for the tones
