[Elecraft] DC to DC Converter

2015-10-03 Thread Bob McGraw - K4TAX
I use a 2 KW pure sine wave DC to AC inverter in our travel trailer. The 60 Hz THD is less than 3% as measured.I find it works quite nice, handles the necessary equipment including the microwave, starts the compressor on the 5 cu. ft. refrigerator and best of all, it doesn't cause noise

[Elecraft] Cheap ref osc to lock K3

2015-10-03 Thread brian
LA3ZA used a UBLOX NEO-7 GPS unit to lock his K3. This $20 unit including complete development board can be obtained here. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301199083821 It's tiny, has a patch antenna (although a $10 active antenna works better) and consumes under 60ma. It can be powered from +5v or a

If higher voltages are needed to clean up the amp, how about a DC to DC converter. How about a higher voltage battery system rather than added complexity in the transceiver? 73, ... Joe, W4TV On 10/3/2015 12:54 AM, Bill Frantz wrote: As I run my K3 from batteries at home, and am about

With predistortion coming sooner or later to mainstream radios, higher PA voltage for 100W is dead issue. Ignacy -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Re-SS30DV-feedback-OT-tp7608653p7608665.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Elecraft] New K3/K3S firmware handles CR/LF characters in RTTY and PSK modes

2015-10-03 Thread Wayne Burdick
Hi all, We're looking for a few testers for the latest K3/K3S field-test firmware. This rev fulfills a long-standing request to properly handle carriage-return (CR) and line-feed (LF) characters in our built-in data modes, FSK-D and PSK-D. CR and LF characters are used for screen formatting,

With bias, 12V transistors are class B or AB, not C. See http://flarc.net/eme-info/PDF/N1JEZ-2.pdf. He describes an amp changed to Class B (very low bias for little heating). Regular IMD3 -22db. After predistortion -55db. Plus extra db in additional power power. All for a cost of feedback +
