[Elecraft] 2M success!

2014-08-08 Thread Chris Johnson
The module install was easy. The instructions were perfect. There was only one scary part where you have to slightly bend a toroid on the PA board. I have two KX3's, and will install the second one tomorrow, but so far I am impressed with the accuracy of the unit. My Flex 6700 has the GSPDO

IF the twisted pairs are fed with differential drivers, then the noise is common mode and cancels itself out. A simple TTL circuit over twisted pair will still be quite vulnerable to RFI. Been there done that for many, many, years in datacomm. Jim, W4ATK On 8/7/2014 10:22 PM, Jim Brown

[Elecraft] [P3] Assign Center to Fn key?

2014-08-08 Thread Jim Miller
I'd like to assign the Center function (Span hold) to a function key but haven't figured out how to do this. The only menu entry for Center is for disabling it under tracking mode (no idea why that would be useful...) Any way to make this assignment? Thanks jim ab3cv

[Elecraft] KX3-2M Scanning

2014-08-08 Thread John Lally
I have a question about scanning and the KX3-2M. I installed the KX3-2M and it is working fine. I am trying to use the scanning function and I am having problems. The KX3 scans. When there is a transmission on one of the 2M band channels in my KX3, the receiver stops momentarily and then

Question on the settings for the KX3-2M module. The instructions say to use XV1 , is that required or is it ok to use another XV position? I already have XV1 set for a 222 Mhz transverter. Thank you 73 Emory WM3M __ Elecraft mailing

Hi Jim, I don't think any of the buttons that require you to then turn the knob are directly assignable to an Fn key. However, if you are in Fixed Tune mode and you desire to move your current VFO A frequency to the center of the screen it can be accomplished by assigning the FixTrack button to

Too bad that is the case. I use Fixed-Tune Mode exclusively as it preserves the waterfall. I don't see much use for Tracking Mode as the waterfall constantly gets blurred. The waterfall is very useful for quickly getting to the next workable station in contests. I also use Center a lot since I
