[Elecraft] K3 fixed TX audio from the monitor
Hi A long standing wish is to get fixed level audio out from the audio monitor for the K3 Some operators don't like there voice hearing and turn of the audio monitor low or off. Result is a blank or weak TX audio in the recording. See http://mailman.qth.net/pipermail/elecraft/2009-January/102536.html The RX part is done a long time a go but till now no solution for the TX part. With the new rule of audio recording for the upcomming CQWW it pops up again and I like to ask if its possible to add a fixed audio level output for TX From http://www.cqww.com/rules.htm *C. Audio Recordings:* Any single operator entrant (see V.A.1) competing for a top three finish at the (a) World, (b) Continent, or (c) USA levels, must record the transmitted and received audio as heard by the operator for the duration of the contest operation.

At 1920x1024 the SVGA runs a little slower (more pixels to compute).

[Elecraft] K3 Trade Offer
If you have a K3 and looking to upgrade to the K3S while wondering what to do with your K3, read on. I have a new Meade 8 LX90 ACF Telescope with field tripod, GPS and computer control Audioguide which I bought earlier this year on impulse. I have $1,600 invested but have never gone out at night to enjoy it. I fall asleep too early or am on the radio. I would like to trade the telescope plus cash of course for your K3 if you are looking to sell/trade and have an interest in the night sky. This is a terrific telescope used only to align the spotting telescope that comes with it, so if you are interested in the night sky and can stay awake long enough to enjoy it please contact me off-line.

[Elecraft] K3S LOCAL REMOTE
I have been working with new K3S-P3 along with the Remote Rig 1258 MKII K3 Twin system. Input received from a few on the line here so wanted to give a short report. Goal was to have both full local and remote control of the K3S-P3 with as few cable swaps as possible. I am using the W3YY FSK-CW-PTT interface and a number of software logging/control programs (N1MM 1.0.5061, HRD 6.2.9.377, N4PY 4.20, and Win4K3Suite 1.762) have been tested with good results. Using a Winford Engineering (CDY15HDMFF-1) Y cable (standard VGA cable or VGA Y do not work and well documented by Elecraft) on the K3S Acc-1 jack for Remote Rig and W3YY use of FSK-PTT-Power on-Signal Ground. Future KPA500 will need second Y for ACC on KPA500 or KAT500 see KE7X K-Line book. New RJ45 to RS232 standard K3S cable (Elecraft # E980297) to the P3 XCVR input and then a BB Electronics Modem Data Splitter (9PMDS) with J3 to P3 PC jack connected with standard RS232 extension cable, J1 to PC with KUSB or equal RS232-USB converter and standard Remote Rig cable on J2 to Remote Rig Com-2 jack. This configuration is allowing the PC to make use of both the logging software programs and alternately the K3 and P3 utility programs at the Remote site. Normal Radio RR mic input to K3S Rear panel Mic in, Radio RR speaker to rear panel stereo speaker out, and Radio RR PTT to rear panel PTT. I have made use of the new USB port for the audio codec only (need Mic+Lin set) and use it with MMTTY or DM780 for PSK or AFSK. FSK-D is via the W3YY interface to Pin 1 of the ACC-1 connector for both local and remote operation. This is not battle tested but offered for others to use if looking for local/remote operation with new K3S. May be useful with amps as well that need two way control but untested. Thanks for input and help from W1UE, N6XI, W3YY, and DJ0QN-K7DX with use of the KE7X Cary books. Comment welcome as all on test bench now till Thursday when go live. * Note: Y is Elecraft part number E980190 DB15 Y- Cable. Also available, along with 15-pin cables, from http://www.winfordeng.com.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Sub-Receiver: How to Hear Both Receivers?
Byron, First, it is not possible to transmit on the Sub - it is receive only. I don't know what you mean by have the signals on both the main and sub-receivers - if you turn on the SUB, you will have the main in one ear and the SubRX in the other. You can hear signals in the main RX, and also in the SubRX (if you have the SUB turned on). Normally the main RX frequency is displayed in VFO A and the subRX frequency is in VFO B. Your transmit frequency will be on VFO A unless you go SPLIT and then it changes to VFO B. If you have any question about which VFO will be used for transmit, look at the arrow to the right of the display - it points to the VFO that will be used for transmit. With the K3 in SPLIT, the transmit arrow will point to VFO B, and that will be the frequency you will transmit on, so you would tune VFO A to the DX and tune VFO B to the pileup to find the spot you wish to transmit. With the SubRX on, you can accomplish the same thing without going into SPLIT, but you will transmit on VFO A - tune that vfo to the pileup, and with VFO B, tune to the DX station. It is not complicated as long as you observe the transmit arrow display. I prefer to tune through the pileup with the big knob and place my transmit frequency at what I consider a good spot. The DX station does not often move, so once I tune in the DX with the VFO B knob, there is no reason to change VFO B. 73, Don W3FPR On 8/9/2015 6:52 PM, Byron Peebles wrote: Is there a way to have the signals on both the main and sub-receivers?

[Elecraft] K3S Sub-Rx Antenna Choices
In my quest to learn more about sub-rx operations, I’m reading through the KRX3 antenna choices (KE7X book) and see that when installing the sub-rx, there’s a choice to make in the connection of the antenna by connecting the TMP cable to one of two places. A) to the ATU, or B) the auxiliary RF BNC antenna. I like the idea of connecting to the ATU which appears to allow me to use the same antenna as the main, or by a software setting, which allows for whichever antenna is not used by main. But the auxiliary BNC seems to be used more for diversity reception (and can work same way). Can anyone clarify what's best in what situations? My use is, I would think is general, I’m wanting to learn how to operate w/ a sub. I’m guessing A is the better choice. Which way does the factory ship the K3S?

This has happened a few times on 20m in WAE CW contest. I can see stations calling on P3 but cannot hear. Or suddenly a station comes up calling CQ although I cannot see it on P3. After doing A/B twice, everything is normal. So it seems that for a moment K3 receives different frequency than it is set on. This only occurs on 20m when somehow K3 is sensitive to high power.

Byron, Perhaps you're missing the first step: you need to turn it on by tapping sub on the front panel. 73, Scott N9AA On 8/9/15 6:52 PM, Byron Peebles wrote: Is there a way to have the signals on both the main and sub-receivers?

[Elecraft] KAT500 Bypass?
When the KAT500 is in Bypass are all elements really bypassed? Or are they bypassed with compensation for the internal paths? Is there an internal bypass calibration required? 73 jim ab3cv __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Sub-Receiver: How to Hear Both Receivers?
I think this is another un-learning experience for me, coming from a radio with two big knobs. It makes sense to reverse the way I used the VFOs in the past, so I have to learn the mechanics of quickly going split, locking the Sub, and working the VFO A DX-receive frequency. I have seen this written-up, but it didn't hit home until your note. Great tip, Don. (100) 72, Byron On 08/09/2015 07:47 PM, Don Wilhelm wrote: It is not complicated as long as you observe the transmit arrow display. I prefer to tune through the pileup with the big knob and place my transmit frequency at what I consider a good spot. The DX station does not often move, so once I tune in the DX with the VFO B knob, there is no reason to change VFO B. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] SOLVED: K3S Sub-Receiver: How to Hear Both Receivers?
Lots of great tips from list members: Thanks everyone! For me, the answer was to use B SET and tap the ANT button to get it on the antenna. Other great steps: SPEAKERS 2, SUB, etc. Luckily I just missed this one.

Re: [Elecraft] TX MON for the P3
Besides uploading the beta firmware, you might need to go into the menu settings (on the P3) to set the menu items for getting the right displays enabled. I had to do this with my TX Mon. So, read the Owner’s Manual that came with the TX Mon paying particular attention to menu settings. 73, phil, K7PEH On Aug 9, 2015, at 2:36 PM, William Levy wgl...@gmail.com wrote: I installed two TX MON boards in my two P3's. I upgraded both K3s and both P3s. In neither P3 to I get a TX MON in the menu. I installed both P3's TX MON boards on a grounded mat and I was also grounded. So I am at a loss why there is no TX MON appearing in my P3 Menu.

[Elecraft] K3 VOX by mode only?
I too would like that feature I'd like to use VOX on digital modes, but never on phone and I see no way to set it up by mode such that the gain can be set to a certain value on phone (000), but higher on digital modes. Am I correct? Yes, I know I can turn it on and off manually. __ __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
