[Elecraft] DX Clusters reccomendation

2022-07-28 Thread Paul Huff
I'm starting to setup Log4OM on my new computer and it is "talking" great to my KX3.  The software has more bells and whistles than I could ever imagine using.  One of it's features is the ability to connect to various DX clusters for spotting.  This is something that I have never done in the

Hi Paul I run va3mw.dxcluster.org on port 41112. It is a DX Spider node and I am connected to ve7cc as well. It does not have world wide spots on it but only posts spots originating from zones 2, 4 and 5. By limiting spots at the source (inbound to my cluster) it cuts down on traffic and any

Paul, You will probably find what you want to know here: https://www.dxcluster.info/ Your first choice to try are some of the more "open" clusters: VE7CC-1 W3LPL Part 2 is interpreting what you see. Since many DX Clusters report everything they are sent worldwide, Log4OM is probably like

"If the spotter was using a rig without an adjustable sidetone, wouldn't the frequency they spot be dependent upon the tone they prefer to hear?" The spotted frequency should be the suppressed carrier frequency which is independent of the choice of tone frequency. Remember there are very few

I think they just round up. If I transmit on 14051.0 I get reported variously as 14051.0 and 14051.1 but never 14050.9 73, Drew AF2Z On 07/28/22 16:25, Pete Smith N4ZR wrote: My K3 is set up to zero-beat at 520 Hz, and its calibration has been checked against WWV and adjusted to with 2 Hz.

FWIW, the FTdx101 series has among the very best CW bandwidths when set to 8 msec risetime.  It beats the Kenwood TS890S by a good margin. I have a 60wpm spectrum analyzer sweep showing that.  It was improved with the May 2021 firmware release which was after ARRL testing.  This is a far cry

Thanks for the data, Jim (and Victor) - Even though it significantly pre-dates the IC-7300, I respect your work and will assume it has relevance. So I am resetting the CW Rise Time to 8ms ... its slowest setting. That being said, I so seldom use CW it's pretty much a non-issue for me. 73 Lyn,

The real value in using DX Clusters is the ability to apply detailed filtering, such as Band Band Segment Mode State and country of spotted stations State and country of spotters For CW and Digital modes, it is essential that the cluster provides spots from the Reverse Beacon Network, a

My K3 is set up to zero-beat at 520 Hz, and its calibration has been checked against WWV and adjusted to with 2 Hz.  That said, I'm surprised when operating assisted to note that most spotted stations, when clicked on, sound significantly higher in pitch than my sidetone.  It seems logical,

The KPA would be fine with 8ms delay, and 4ms rise time is most likely clicky. 6 would be better. Victor 4X6GP On Wed, Jul 27, 2022, 22:10 Lyn Norstad wrote: > Tom - > > I am running the 7300 with KPA/KAT500 and have the TX Delay on the 7300 > set for 15ms on both HF and 50MHz (the range is 0
