I had this exact problem in reverse.
My main receiver would show the PL1 error. I installed the 180k
resistor on both boards, still no joy. I then swapped boards which
fixed the main receiver but now had a new problem on the 2nd receiver, I
was receiving a DSE error. I reloaded the firmware
Jim,
If you had the expected output at U12 pin 8, but less than expected at
U11 pin 1, then there is a problem between those two points. Look at
the schematic in conjunction with these troubleshooting steps to find
what lies between the two points - in this case, look in the lower right

Hi - I know this is very remotely related to Elecraft, but good advice is
never in short supply in this group...
Here in Iceland the requirement for knowledge of CW is no longer required
for amateur HF licenses - a trend that we see in most countries nowadays.
Still, I am interested in

Take a serious look at the K7QO Code Course. Chuck is a master at high
speed CW, and his code course can be downloaded from
http://www.k7qo.net/ - these are .iso images that can be used to make
CDs for everyone in the class.
The code is learned by sound - no other method should be

QRP ARCI Four Days In May at Dayton, OH
Registration was closing tonight but we're holding it open for another
24 hours (until 2100z tomorrow - Sat 9th May)
We have had 7 bookings yesterday and another 7 so far today.
More than 250 have pre-registered, an all-time record and in a recession too !
After Dayton I am going full speed ahead on making a remote tuning knob for the
K3
If anyone has done any previous work please let me know..no need to reinvent
the wheel..ha
Any ideas ?? In the past I made the Ekletech remote tuning knobs for the Icom

is best.

Hi Sam,
You can use a USB knob like the Griffin Powermate:
http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/powermate/
And use it to control PowerSDR via the LP-PAN Pandapter LP-Bridge,
which will then spin the VFO on the K3.
http://www.telepostinc.com/LP-PAN.html
That will give you a very nice
The draw back with this approach is window focus. If you are doing other
things
while SDR-IF is running won't you have to first click to get the focus back for
the
Griffin knob to work?

That's the drawback to any approach that uses a PC
based scroll knob.
An external device that would accept the RS-232 input
from a PC (to allow other control software) and would
simply add UP;/DN; (10 Hz steps) or UP4;/DN4; (1 KHz
steps) to the data stream would be rather worthwhile.

Ditto everything Brendan wrote.
The Farnsworth method is fine for learning enough CW to pass a test,
which we don't have any longer, but the beauty of the Koch method is you
learn the characters at full speed and properly spaced. You learn two
characters to start and only start adding
Tnx Drew! That's how I learned it too, about 10 years after those recordings
were made.
It was reminiscent to hear them talk about short sounds and long sounds
and not dots or dits and dashes and dahs.

I believe there was a guy, Mike KE4U who has a beta plug-in app for

Hi,
I find that most people who already know cw forget the part where you
simply have to memorise the code. All the methods discussed so far come
after this hurdle. I found that grouping can help i.e. eish, tmo, 12345,
67890, ndb, auv, kr, qy,px.. etc. Once the code can be recalled by
I'm experienced in this, mainly as a result of going about it the
wrong way initially, and then having to re-learn it once I wanted to
do morse code.
Initially I bought the 5 wpm CD when I was first licensed in 2001. I
then went to take the test, and found out that the letters were sent

Joe;
This device exists today and has been on the market for several years.
Check out the KRC2 from Elecraft. Not only is it a band decoder, but
it also is a remote controller for the K2 (and by extension, the K3).
If the base factory unit doesn't have the specific command you need,

I see a lot if interesting suggestions on how to learn CW the fast and or
easy way, but the one thing I feel is most most important is to learn to
copy under real life conditions (QRM/QRN poor fist). Memorise the code and
start learning to copy from off the air QSOs.

I believe this to be a very good solution for those wanting to use the

keeping the radio responses from PowerMate commands from getting back
