Re: [Elecraft] What to use to turn on remotely my K3 ?

2009-11-26 Thread AD6XY

When I did it about a year ago I used HRD plus a toggle on the appropriate
interface line on the DB15 plug to power on and off the K3. I used a relay
controlled by USB. 

There are plenty of interfaces available, all you need to do is write some
simple code in C++. Many of the EBay interfaces come with limited software
but they frequently use the HID interface so you can write your own control
software. If you don't want to write code try and find one supported by
amateur radio software, these tend to cost more. If you want to go that way
look at the LP Remote.

The Modtronix Ethernet boards are very good for remote control as you have a
web interface and can also monitor voltages etc. It means you do not need a
PC left on and if your PC crashes you can reset it with a  relay across the
reset switch.  WW2R has written code to control his, mine is still in the
projects stack.

Velemann do a popular USB interface kit, the K8055 for about £25. This
requires a PC to drive it but you get 4 relays and plenty of digital and
analogue IO ports. Many people have written software for this unit, me
included. The kit comes with a disk with sample code and a DLL to interface
to.

Finally, there is always the PC printer port, if you have one. It is the
simplest and lowest cost method and you can drive it directly from popular
radio control software.

Mike,

Since you are using phones, do not overlook the possibility of RF 
Feedback.  If the problem goes away when driving a dummy load (or using 
TX TEST) but is present feeding an antenna, RF feedback is the first 
thing to be suspicious of.  The normal best cure for RF Feedback is in 
the antenna system rather than trying to put ferrites on everything in 
the shack.

Mike,

I had the same thing happen to me. Unfortunately, I didn't read your post in 
time to respond. The K3 audio menu settings are per mode. When I switched to 
AM, I had the rear panel mic enabled and the MIC+LIN turned ON. When I turned 
MIC+LIN OFF the feedback went away. The operation of this menu function wasn't 
exactly clear to me so I had set it up the way I thought it should be for all 
modes (SSB, AM, PSK and FSK). I was wrong.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Rx Antenne K9AY

2009-11-26 Thread Doug Turnbull
Frank,
I am unable to fully understand your e-mail.   I use a K9AY with my K3
for 160 Meters and also listen with it on 80M and 40m, which are bands I am
not active on but monitor from time to time.   I find the K9AY gives me an
average 15 dB front to back ratio on 160M.   I have not noticed too much of
an improvement in Signal to Noise Ratio but the antenna is a great help in
contests when working the western hemisphere as it attenuates our fellow EU
stations.   I also use it in listening to stations in other directions and
find the front to back a help.   As I live in a rural location it may be
that the improvement in SNR is not as great as it would be in a more built
up area.   

You need the converter board in your K3 to have a separate receiver
input.   I assume you have this.   You may need a good separation between TX
and RX antennas to use the K9AY for break in operation.   In my case the
separation is 60 M and I have no problems.   Hope you find the K9AY works
well for you.   If you have any further problems perhaps you might try to
better explain them.   All the best with luck I will work you in CQWW this
weekend.   That is if I can get my inverted L up and running.   Life is good
or should perhaps one say life is sweet to avoid the commercial boys with
their Tee Shirts.

 Because I had been considering a new Owner's Manual for some
time,
 I chose to bundle that with a Handbook.  The combined shipping
 wasn't a lot more than the Manual alone, which is obviously
 available only from Elecraft.

[Elecraft] K3 Tuning Rate Macro

2009-11-26 Thread Steve Lawrence
The K3 SHT50; command will toggle the RATE between 0.10 and 0.01  
tuning. Is there are way to force the rate to 0.10. This is for use in  
a Split macro sequence to allow fast tuning of a pile up with VFO B.

Thanks! Steve WB6RSE

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Tuning Rate Macro

2009-11-26 Thread Wes Stewart
Maybe you have the second receiver and want to tune with VFO B, however, if you 
don't have one then here's what I do rather than messing with VFO B and splits. 
 (I've tried the Split macro, but it's always wrong.  If I program it for 1 KHz 
the DX will say UP 3. It never fails)

Tune in the DX with VFO A.  Lock the frequency then if the DX says, Up one, 
turn on XIT and dial in +1.0.  If you want a faster tuning rate toggle the 
Fine/Coarse.  If you want to hear what's going on on your transmit frequency, 
tap RIT.  If the frequency is cluttered and you want to move a little, tune 
with the RIT/XIT knob, then press RIT again to turn it off and you're listening 
to the DX frequency again but transmitting on your newly found clear spot 
(Hi).  If this fails, QRO.

[Elecraft] K3 TX light on

2009-11-26 Thread Gene
On 11/25/09 I downloaded latest firmware, MCU 03.63 and DSP1 02.46.

While using HRD/DM780 for PSK31 I now notice the TX light stays on at 
the end of a transmission.  The light will not go out and the K3 will 
not go into receive unless I tap, xmit, atu tune, rx ant, or ant button.

When using version 3.44 beta release and same setup all  was well.   Has 
something changed in the new firmware that I need to reset or did I do 
something that would cause this?

Thanks,
Gene W2BXR
