How about pulling the PA out and setting the radio back to the way it
was prior to installation (it's been nearly six years since building my
K3 and I forgot the strapping, if any).

Re: [Elecraft] Bought a second hand P3 with 2 KW TX sensor question

[Alan Bloom]

The 2kW monitor works pretty well at 100 watts.  The 200W sensor might 
have a little better accuracy at 100W and works much better for QRP.


If by "images" you mean seeing the same signal on either side of center 
of the pandapter display, that doesn't happen with the P3.  Unlike SDR 
receivers and panadapters that use an analog I/Q downconverter, the 
digital downconverter in the P3 is "perfect" in that respect.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft] KX2 Evaluation Up Date

[Richard Ferch]

Jim, not quite. Bob's examples work perfectly with the K3/K3S using CW
keying on DTR (or RTS) of the radio control port, and on any radio
(including the KX2/KX3) if an external keying circuit or Winkeyer is used.
It is only when you don't have a Winkeyer or external serial port keying
circuit to use with a KX3 or KX2 that you need to use the KY command method
(BTW, there is no need to use the CATA1ASC macro instead of CAT1ASC if you
are not using SO2R).

There are several limitations to the KY command method when used with
N1MM+, as described at <
http://n1mmplus.hamdocs.com/tiki-index.php?page=Serial+Parallel+and+Sound+Card+Interfacing=N1MM+Logger+Documentation#Choosing_Your_CW_Method

[Elecraft] [K3] Strange filter behaviour in the subRX

[Richard Ferch]

After a user reported problems with filter settings in N1MM+ in SO2V with
one VFO in CW and the other VFO in SSB, I did some investigating. I had
never tried mixed-mode dual receive before. After doing some experimenting,
first with N1MM+ and then with the radio on its own, I conclude that there
does appear to be a problem, but it seems to be in the K3 firmware, not in
N1MM+.

After some initial exploration, I ran audio spectrum analysis software on
the Line Out output of the K3 with band noise input on a dead band, default
filter settings and with no radio control software of any kind running.
With both VFOs in SSB, the noise spectrum display is similar for both VFOs
- reasonably flat (plus or minus a few dB) from 200 Hz to 2800 Hz, more or
less. If one VFO is in CW and the other VFO is in SSB (or DATA A, which
seems to behave the same way), the VFO A SSB plot looks the same as before,
but when I use the K3's A/B button to swap VFOs, the spectrum display for
VFO B in SSB looks quite different, with a more or less linear rolloff of
roughly 10 dB/kHz (not per octave, per kHz) from 700 Hz to 2700 Hz. That
is, at 1700 Hz the spectrum plot is down around 10 dB from the value at 700
Hz, and at 2700 Hz it is down around another 10 dB. The difference is
clearly audible. I can fix this by pressing the B-SET button on the K3,
which restores a flat response profile in VFO B, but when I press A/B twice
to swap the SSB and CW settings between the two VFOs twice, the rolloff
comes back when VFO B is in SSB mode.

Has anyone else seen anything like this? Is there a configuration setting
that can fix it?

73,
Rich VE3KI

Re: [Elecraft] Missing Step for K-POD Front Panel Mod

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Yes, that was fixed long, long ago. A screw head struck the edge of one of
the boards in early K3 front panel assemblies. It wasn't noticed for a while
because in the process of prying the connectors apart, the edge of the pc
board chafing against the edge of one board was not noticed. 

I'm surprised you found it on a K3 as late as 3329.

There is a round head screw on the bottom front 2D fastener that must be

[Elecraft] KX1 - Voltage vs Power

[MaverickNH]

Hi,

I have my KX1 hooked up to an external filtered adjustable power supply.
Does the below look reasonable for Voltage vs Power on ATU tune-up? SWRs all
read 1.3-1.5 8-14V

14V - 2.8-2.6W (which rapidly dropped to 2.0-2.1 over 3-5sec)
12V - 2.0-2.1W
10V - 1.5-1.6W
8V -0.9-1.1W

Thanks, 73s,

Bret/KC1CJN

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft] KX2 Evaluation Up Date

[K5WA]

Jim,
 
Regarding how to reprogram the F key messages in N1MM, simply right click on
any F key block in the N1MM window and all the messages will pop up in an
editable mode.  You can type in anything you want.  The format is this:
 
ExampleF1 CQ,CQ FD de K9TF K9TF The first CQ and anything BEFORE the
comma is shown as a label for the F key.  Everything AFTER the comma will be
sent as your message.
The first F1- F12 keys are the messages sent while in CQ mode and the second
set of F1- F12 (shown in GREEN) are the S messages.  You can save these
per contest by simply chosing FILE - "SAVE THESE MESSAGES TO A DIFFERENT
FUNCYION KEY .MC FILE NAME".
 
If you have any questions, let me know and I'll give you a hand.

I worked 15 stations on Field Day weekend with in an hour on my 160m antenna
on 20M. Worked just fine.
 
Started to use N1MM logging and attested programming F keys for CW found the
infor on line and help from K9JWV got it working through only ONE USB port.
Do not know what the KY codes are or where they came from.  Some of the
function keys on the program needs to be reprogrammed in N1MM and have not
found out where or what to put in yet.  Progress is slow but making
progress.
 
Showed off my New KX2 at about 4 Field Day sites and most were impressed on
the size and what it could do. I did not have N1MM working at the time.
Maybe I would have gotten  more jaws dropped if I had that Canadian program
running. No one afford to connect my KX2 to their Field Day antenna and give
it a ride.  I found that strange.  Maybe I should have offered  Found that a
bit strange
 
Now if I can switch the keys with Windows 10 and just let the F buttons work
like F buttons and not  do brightness and the sort, I will be in good shape.

[Elecraft] [K3] Re: K-pod - is it shipping?

> Re: K-pod - is it shipping?

Received my K-Pod today via USPS.   When updating the K3 firmware to
beta 5.50 to support the K-Pod, the update failed and left me in MCU LD
bootloader mode.   Disconnected the P3 power and restarted the K3
Utility.  The Utility then found the K3 was in bootloader mode and
allowed a "Send All Firmware" to proceed normally.  Recovered K3
successfully.  

I wish the rocker switch was a bit lower, and away from VFO knob, as it
is very easy to skew the freq a bit as you go to move the rocker
switch.Used an audio style RCA male to twin RCA female ("Y") to
split power for P3 and K-Pod.K-Pod working as designed.

Will perform the power mod after I finish up getting the bonus station
GB13COL as part of the 13 Colonies special event going on right now. 
(He keeps setting up 2K away from state-side Nets and is very light!  Argh.)

Haven't programmed any macros for the function keys yet.

Will need to source a longer RJ12 data cable for the K-Pod.   Interested
in something about 12-14 ft.  Hopefully, the protocol will support that
length.

Warren, KD4Z

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 4m transverter (UK)

[David Anderson via Elecraft]

I have a couple of questions asking why I am selling the 4m transverter for the 
KX3. (Is it no good? etc)

The reason is simply that I want to be able to work on 144 MHz with my KX3 wit 
external transverter AND monitor 70 MHz or 50 MHz, so I have another rig that 
covers 50/70 MHz and a dual band yagi for that now. The 4m transverter is 
therefore surplus to my needs.

No point in having 2 4m rigs here, better that another station uses it so I 
have another station to work on 4m :-0

[Elecraft] [K-Pod] K3 firmware K3 Utility Program Requirements

[Roger Marrotte]

I just received my K-Pod.  It looks and feels really nice.  Nice and heavy.
Won't wander across the desktop.  The manual mentions requiring K3 firmware
version 5.50 or later.  I found that in the beta section and loaded it
without problem.  The manual also mentions "Be sure you have K3 utility
Program rev. 1.16.3.11 or later installed on your personal computer (older
versions will not allow you to store macros 9-16)".  That I had a problem
with.  I can't find it on the Elecraft web site.  Is it available yet?  I
don't yet have more than 8 macros so it's not a crisis.

 

Roger, W1EM

Re: [Elecraft] Bought a second hand P3 with 2 KW TX sensor question

[Don Wilhelm]

William,

The images will not be changed by the TX MON.
The resolution of the power display on the P3 will be increased by a 
factor of 10 if you change to the DCHF-200a - you can order one from 
Elecraft.

[Elecraft] OT - VSP, com0com and Win4K3

[Michael Blake]

While attempting to connect Win4K3's AUX1 com port to DXLabs Commander via HHD's Virtual 
Serial Port I was unable to communicate from Win4K3 (frequency and mode data)to Commander 
even though all commands sent from Commander to Win4K3 were being received and properly 
executed.  A support request to Tom was quickly answered with "VSP doesn't work 
correctly, use cm0com.".  He provided a link to a signed copy of com0com which I 
installed and all worked well.  I was surprised as I have used VSP for years with other 
software (PowerSDR, HDsdr, Omnirig, fldigi, WSJT, HRD) without issue.




THE QUESTION IS:




While I realize that the problem could be with either VSP or Win4K3 I do not 
have the necessary monitoring software to allow me to actually look at the data 
flow between the two. Has anyone looked at this issue with VSP/Win4K3 AND has 
been able to determine what the technical issue is that prevents VSP and Win4K3 
from successfully communicating with each other?





HARDWARE:


Intel i5, 2.4 gHz., 8 gig of RAM


Windows 10, 64 bit, latest updates


VSP 3.22


com0com 2.2.2.0-64 signed


Elecraft KX3


Elecraft USB serial adapter connecting KX3 to CPU.

Do you receive (decode) other WSPR stations? If yes, frequency and PC time
are ok.
During TX, does your ALC show 4-5 bars?

[Elecraft] Bought a second hand P3 with 2 KW TX sensor question

[will...@zendamateur.nl]

Hi group,

 

I have a K3 100 Watt and i bought a P32 with VGA and TXmon, the TX Monitor
is 2 Kw.

 

I was thinking because of the fact that I am only working with 100 watt
would it be worth reducing the sensor to 200 Watt ??

 

1 I don't know if it is possible.

2 I don't know if I see beter images then ?? 

3 or should I just leave it as it is ??

 

I did not yet connect the TXmon just trying to learn the possibilities of
the P3 

 

Regards William

 

K2, KX3, K3, P3,
