Are you connecting the amplifier to the TX Inhibit pin of the K3 ACC port? Do you have CONFIG:TX INH set to Low=Inh or Hi=Inh? You must first set CONFIG:TECH MD ON to see it. Try changing TX INH to OFF. >From the Expert 2K-FA manual, section 13.3: "All modern transceivers have a delay before

Hi all, I figured maybe one of you was, um, experienced enough to recognize this meter and let me know what piece of equipment it came from. I found it in a cache of old broadcast equipment, so it is possible it was part of an old carrier current transmitter or some other such thing. This

Thanks guys for your fast answers and suggestions. After having read you, I made several tests. I have observed some very strange things leading me to think that the K3 USB by itself is not involved: The problem occurs only when the amplifier (Expert 2K-FA) is in operate mode and whatever

[Elecraft] K3 NR and KIO3B INTERFACE

2017-07-13 Thread Peter Pellack via Elecraft
  Last year we upgraded one of the K3's with the installation of the KIO3B interface kit. Shortly after we noticed that the NR sounded different. Like an "echo", even on the least aggressive setting. The NR performance appeared to have significantly suffered. Coincidence with the KIO3B

I did not experience any problems like that during 24 hours of the IARU contest keying a pair of K3S rigs with Win-Test over the USB line, in full QSK mode, on a single computer (which was running Windows 7 32-bit). With Win-Test's excellent software CW timing, there's usually no need to buy a

It's possible that Windows 10 is powering down the hub that the device is connected to. In the Windows 10 Settings dialog click on devices and scroll all the way down to the bottom and select Device Manager. Then click on USB controllers to open and view all the hubs. Double click on each

Gilles, As long as you are dependent on an application running on the PC for timing, you will have similar problems. Windows prioritizes the timing of events to its own pleasure, and servicing the application is not necessarily of the highest priority. It is normally not noticed, but with

Hi all, Last WE during the IARU HF I have tested the use of the USB input of the K3S in replacement of a RIGEXPERT TI-5 box. Everything looked great until I experimented that sometimes randomly the beginning of the first dash or dot was missing when sending CW via Wintest under Windows 10.

Thanks to everyone who answered this both private and public. To recap, I'm using the internal 2m transverter K144XV and trying to reduce the output on 2m below 1W whilst keeping the max of 10W. I conclude: * the 2m internal tvtr cannot be adjusted to produce both 10W out max and 1W
