Re: [Elecraft] DATA-A tx freq offset with digital modes

Hello Guy, Ian, Don, Eric, Ed…... Very enlightening posts, thank you! As a ham who has only, in the last 12 months, returned on air after 30 years, this information is very relevant. So on your advice I did some more testing and can confirm that using WinK3Suite remotely via the RemoteRig

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft] DATA-A tx freq offset with digital modes

Graham I do not know what program you are using to operate CW (perhaps FLdigi) but guessing this for HF. On eme digital modes have become prevalent and using sw such as WSJT10 for that one can switch from say JT65 to CW by simple choice of mode on a drop down menu. I have not operated CW-eme

I found a set. Thank you to everyone who responded. Looking forward to sharing my trials and tribulations with the list as I start my largest kit build to date! 73, Robert AD0TA On Thu, Sep 22, 2016 at 10:00 AM, Robert Forster wrote: > Hello all, > > First time

[Elecraft] Technology Change

Two thoughts on this . . . One is about a book published some years ago titled “Who Moved My Cheese!” It was aimed at a business management audience, with the message that when the cheese is in a different place, it really doesn’t make sense to go back to where it used to be and try to

Re: [Elecraft] DATA-A tx freq offset with digital modes

You haven't adjusted to on-screen technology, because paper technology is familiar. That was the main point I saw in Guy's note. Many of us hams are hung up on analog technology, and some of us insist on imposing this on digital technology such as the K3. We want the K3 to work like the old

Re: [Elecraft] K3 DSP Old and New

Doug, I also have the older DSP board. I elected to add the Low Pass Filter add-on-board because I was not interested in the extended low frequency response. So the proper answer depends on your aspirations - the low pass filter does provide a definite advantage in high frequency 'hiss'.

[Elecraft] K3 DSP Old and New

Hello Doug, If you are not going for a K3S, the update to newer D version is very worthwhile.  It gives great improvement in the audio (though I still consider the audio worse than my new generation Icom radio). However, Elecraft mentioned in the past that the DSP board currently used in K3S

[Elecraft] K3 DSP Old and New

I have an older 2009 K3 without the updated DSP. What is your opinion? Is it worth the upgrade to the newer D version? Anyone done a comparison?    Doug K6JEY   __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

[Elecraft] Elecraft SSB Nets

Here is a collated list for the last several weeks, of stations checking in to the weekly Elecraft SSB Net on 20m (14.303.5) at 18:00z (UTC). The lists for all but last week come from regular net control station Eric, WB9JNZ. I hope the formatting survives the posting experience. Please feel

Re: [Elecraft] DATA-A tx freq offset with digital modes

Eric, As an old duffer who has done lots of scientific writing over the last 60 years, I have never found that I could ACCURATELY proofread from a computer screen. For some reason, my eye skips over some really howlers which I do catch in the printed copy. And along with this is the

Re: [Elecraft] DATA-A tx freq offset with digital modes

A very enlightening post, Guy. Almost every new technology ever invented experiences the same thing. New users tend to work hard to make the new technology work just like the old technology did. Instead of developing new procedures to fit very different technology, they make the new technology

Re: [Elecraft] DATA-A tx freq offset with digital modes

[In the following text, "both the K3 and the K3S" is represented by "K3/S". Text applicable to only one or the other will be "K3" or "K3S"] Hi Graham. With a warm smile, a soft voice, and friendly demeanor. I have had to go through this post-analog era "de-analoging" my own radio perceptions,

Re: [Elecraft] K3S and FSQcall

It should not be necessary to use the "Use CAT commands from file" option. Set PTT/CAT to "01,Kenwood (newer models)" and check the "Use PTT" radio button. Set the Comport to the port created by the K3S. Set the Soundcard (Select Soundcard) to "Line (USB Audio CODEC)" or "mic (USB Audio

[Elecraft] K3 KRX3 Install.....

Recently finished the install of the KRX3 receiver and two KSYN3A synthesizers in my K3. I have had the 2nd receiver sitting in its box too long, but family problems was the priority the last year or so. When the new KSYN3a came out, it looked like a good option to install also. My K3 was a

[Elecraft] KX3 and acces FS

Due to the need to downsize my portable station to travel very small and light I have decided to replace my great KX3 with a KX2 which is now on order. This includes the KX3 sn 482, KXAT3 tuner, KXFL3 filter, KXBC3 clock/charger, KX side panels with plexi cover. I would like $1190. I will reduce

Re: [Elecraft] K3S and FSQcall

Quite some time ago I did some tests using FSQCALL v0.24.6 and my K3 TRX. I used the "Use CAT commands from file" option. In a text file, you have to define the relevant COM port and CAT parameters. See the help text for details. Markus HB9BRJ -- View this message in context:

Re: [Elecraft] Cold KX3 doesn't turn on

You need a new MCU crystal to fix it. Sometimes it can be recovered by opening the KX3 and heating the crystal for 30 seconds or so with a soldering iron - but that is a temporary work-around. It needs to go back to Watsonville to have the crystal changed. Contact kx3supp...@elecraft.com to

[Elecraft] Looking For Rework Eliminator Option Bypass Headers

Hello all, First time poster to the group. I've been looking at building a K2 to use as an IF rig and I'm really close to pulling the trigger. I'd like to build this rig with the bypass headers from unpcbs.com but it seems they are sold out and not anticipating another run. I'd like to build

[Elecraft] Cold KX3 doesn't turn on

I bought a used KX3 back in June. It's a very early production device (#109). Been great all summer as a mobile in my truck. (Just did 1000 miles in the Salmon Run) Past two days, it hasn't turned on when I started off to work in the morning.Yesterday, thought it was a loose connection, opened

Re: [Elecraft] DATA-A tx freq offset with digital modes

Graham, You are sending CW with audio tones, so that is a natural consequence. I suggest the only "fix" is to put the K3S into SPLIT mode, set VFO B 600Hz lower than VFO A and then link the VFOs (LINK is a menu function now). 73, Don W3FPR On 9/22/2016 1:37 AM, Graham Alston wrote: Hi,

Re: [Elecraft] DATA-A tx freq offset with digital modes

Graham, DATA-A mode is typically used for PSK-31 and some other digital modes. Try using CW mode for CW and see if that doesn’t help resolve the issue. Hope this helps. 73 de, --Ian Ian Kahn, KM4IK Roswell, GA EM74ua km4ik@gmail.com 10-10 #74624, North Georgia Chapter #2038 PODXS 070
