Re: [Elecraft] KX3/KX2 Cruiseship Operation

[Fred Jensen]

2005, Ft. Lauderdale-->6Y-->P4-->HP-->TI-->XE [x3]-->Los Angeles.  
Bought the KX1 to take on the trip 15 day trip.


I wrote to Princess Lines with the radio specs and photos.  Answer by 
telephone was "Absolutely not!  It might interfere with operation of the 
ship and you could start a fire."  On the principle that "the Captain 
runs the ship," I took the rig, contacted the Purser's office after we 
were aboard, and a very young junior officer came and looked at my 
radio.  Once he knew the power and frequencies, he said, "You have 
permission to operate your amateur radio set but not in public spaces, 
and do not remove any paint," and wrote this in my log.


This confined me to the "balcony" outside our stateroom, which would 
more properly be called a "shelf," maybe 4 m x 1.3 m or so. I had chosen 
to take my 8 m wire+counterpoise made by peeling the braid back on RG-58 
since the MP-1 knockoff I have looks suspiciously like a pipe bomb on 
the x-ray.  Stringing 8 meters of wire in a 2 meter square hole in 3 cm 
thick steel proved to be a challenge.  Doing so in a configuration that 
would actually radiate was an order of magnitude harder.  It did work, I 
managed about a dozen Q's with So. Americans [the ship was between me 
and NA all the way].  I've never taken a radio on a cruise again.


I used a 4S1P LiFePO4 battery with no way to charge it, but I didn't 
come close to depleting it.  15 days on the Big White Boat was about 5 
days too many.  The Canal was great.  YMMV

Dear OMs and YLs,
  This talk of cruise ship operation piqued my interest.Do you have
to get permission from the ships captain to operate?   I believe this is in
the license manual.How does one go about doing so?If I could bring
my AlexLoop and KX2 aboard a cruise ship this would give a great new reason
to talk to the good XYL about a Mediterranean cruise.I just wonder how
one gets the okay on a big cruise ship with thousands of passengers.   I
would be hesitant to even take a KX2 on board a large ship without prior
permission.

   Surely one does not need to leave the antenna out on the deck area
when not in use.The AlexLoop is so discrete that from your own balcony
it should be possible though you would have to keep the antenna clear of all
the metal surroundings so this might well be problematic.

[Elecraft] KX3 manual information

[Keith Hamilton]

I would like to point out there is no errata for the KX3 owners manual
which was printed about 2 years ago according to the Elecraft website. Lots
of firmware changes in 2 years!  So an errata page does not solve my
problem. It is hard for me to believe there is no up-to-date information
available without going through 2 years worth of firmware updates and hand
writing them in my manual???

Still confused in Ohio!  Keith Hamilton, N8CEP

Re: [Elecraft] Kx33 PSU for KX2?

[Mark E. Musick]

Hi Bret,
The short answer is yes.
I have a Kx33 to power my K2/10. If I remember correctly, it is rated 14.4 V
at 4 Amps. For K2 owners who have the internal battery, he has an adapter
you can purchase that will reduce the voltage to 13.8 Volts for battery
charging.
It is a very good power supply. You will not be disappointed if you acquire
one.

Mark, WB9CIF

Saw a post from Howe at ProAydio Engineering "...and we have supplied many
Kx33 14V supplies to KX2 owners who want to use the rig at 10W power when AC
power is available."

I didn't want to take this out of context, but can the Kx33 PSU be used to
safely power the KX2 from my 110V US wall outlet?

[Elecraft] KXPD2 - Iambic B

[MaverickNH]

Just starting to use my KPXD2 paddles on my KX2. I have them set to Iambic B.
The left paddle will give only dits if pressed and held any length of time.
The right paddle when pressed will give either dahs or fits and dahs,
depending on length of press. I can do a R or K by pressing the right paddle
alone.

My other dual paddles don't do that. Am I missing something? I've removed
and replaced a few times.

Re: [Elecraft] [DETECTED AS SPAM] Re: [DETECTED AS SPAM] 630M

[Merv Schweigert via Elecraft]

Yes,  there is the WSPR map site, where all activity for WSPR is listed.

http://wsprnet.org/drupal/wsprnet/map

And also a great daily report and blog by John WB5NJD

http://njdtechnologies.net/category/630-meter-daily-reports/

You can see there are 80 to 90 people active almost daily,  many VK, ZL, JA
Many EU stations as well.  Its about the time of the year for EU to start
being copied on the east coast,   EU made it all the way to AZ last season.
And with lower sunspot numbers propagation should improve over the
next few years.

Lots of info on antennas,  and 630m subjects on the NJD website, also has
some 136KHZ info there as well.

[Elecraft] relatively newbie - what's your best tip for me?

[Anne Dirkman]

I've had my license since 2011 with very little exposure to amateur radio
before that - pretty much started from scratch... Just won a KX3 over the
weekend at my DX Convetion.and am looking for guidance. What is the first
thing* you wish* *someone would have told YOU* about your Kx3.  Any tips
and hints will be considered. .

I'm heading to the Supefest at HRO next weekend and am making my list of
what I will need.   I've done some DXing at home and on on the shore and
contesting and would really like to get in to portable operation with a
minimal amount of setup so I can enjoy the sunny shores of Lake Michigan,
operating at the parks and local Maritime Museum.

Started reading the manual overnight, I was told it's a steep learning curve
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

VFO A controls both receivers in diversity mode, but VFO B can be tuned

See the third paragraph on page 40 (under “Diversity Receive”).

[Elecraft] Back to VFO linking.

[Zbigniew Tyrlik]

Freshly updated K3 by factory. 


Yes, I know the VFO lnk is now a menu item… 


but: 

1) use menu to turn VFO linking on. 
works as expected.  Turning VFO A properly changes VFO B. 
2) turn SUB ON.   
works as expected,  can adjust VFO B separately, and then VFO A will move both 
properly. 

3) Turn Diversity on ( Long press on on SUB ). 
VFO A and VFO B are no longer linked. Even after turning Diversity OFF, they 
are unlinked; checking COFNIG shows VFO LNK is OFF in config. 
the only way after using Diversity ON is to go into CONFIG meny to turn VFO LNK 
ON.

Re: [Elecraft] Kx33 PSU for KX2?

[James Bennett]

Bret,

I boought a KX33 for use with my KX3 and it worked fine, both here in the US at 
110 volts and in the Philippines at 220 volts. It is now used to power my KX2 
here in California. Works very, very well.

Re: [Elecraft] Up-to-date KX3 menu printout

[Don Wilhelm]

Keith,

Menu items are added/subtracted only infrequently.  Minor changes to a 
particular menu item may happen more frequently.


Look at the firmware release notes - any changes to the menu will be 
noted there.  That is the source of the very latest information.


You can write any change information in your manual menu listing on 
pages 35 through 41 in your KX3 manual.


When the manual is updated, that information should be included.
Look at the manual errata pages too.  The errata is updated more 
frequently than the manual itself.
If you find multiple versions of the errata, you do not have to keep 
earlier ones for that particular version of the manual.


73,
Don W3FPR

I have seen several and looked at the KE7X books but none seem to be
up-to-date as of
MCU version 2.76.

I hate looking all over for corrections to the old menu versions available
on the net.

For that matter is the Elecraft KX3 Owners Manual menu chapter up-to-date?

Thanks for any help!!

Re: [Elecraft] KX3/KX2 Cruiseship Operation

[Doug Turnbull]

Dear OMs and YLs,
 This talk of cruise ship operation piqued my interest.Do you have
to get permission from the ships captain to operate?   I believe this is in
the license manual.How does one go about doing so?If I could bring
my AlexLoop and KX2 aboard a cruise ship this would give a great new reason
to talk to the good XYL about a Mediterranean cruise.I just wonder how
one gets the okay on a big cruise ship with thousands of passengers.   I
would be hesitant to even take a KX2 on board a large ship without prior
permission.

  Surely one does not need to leave the antenna out on the deck area
when not in use.The AlexLoop is so discrete that from your own balcony
it should be possible though you would have to keep the antenna clear of all
the metal surroundings so this might well be problematic.

[Elecraft] Kx33 PSU for KX2?

[MaverickNH]

Saw a post from Howe at ProAydio Engineering "...and we have supplied many
Kx33 14V supplies to KX2 owners who want to use the rig at 10W power when AC
power is available."

I didn't want to take this out of context, but can the Kx33 PSU be used to
safely power the KX2 from my 110V US wall outlet?
