Re: [Elecraft] KX2 built in mic

[Dan Presley]

Yes that’s it! I’m so used to pressing and holding the XMIT as I do that to 
tune my magloop (LNR). You can’t use the autotunes with a loop.  Hopefully the 
next time I decide to go SSB I’ll remember! By the way-a loop and the KX2 make 
a great portable combination. The new addition of the CW logging feature is an 
absolute lifesaver for SOTA-when you’re on a tough location t’s tricky trying 
to juggle the radio and a notebook .

Re: [Elecraft] KX1 rehab

[bill - K7WXW]

Don,

Thanks for the walk through. With that and the manual I should be good to go. I 
appreciate the help.

Subject:  Re: [Elecraft] KX1 rehab  

Bill,  

Dale gave a good answer, but did not include how to do it with the KX1.  
I can supply that.  

If you have the KXAT1 installed, pull it out and jumper between pins 1  
and 3 of the 3 pin header next to the BNC jack. That connects the  
antenna with the KXAT1 not in place.  

If you have a wideband noise generator, connect it to the BNC jack - if  
not you can likely use an antenna - tune to a spot where there is only  
band noise and set the RF Gain to max clockwise and the bandwidth to a  
mid-point.  
Select 20 meters and tune CA and CB (marked 20A and 20B on the board)  
for a noise peak. If you cannot discern a peak, try it tuned to a  
moderate strength signal.

[Elecraft] turn off SSB monitor on Line Out?

[w5xd]

My (recent vintage K3S) rig seems to put my voice on Line Out regardless of
the front panel Monitor setting. I see in the manual a reference to
Config:Lin Out=PHONES but, the best I can tell, my rig has no such setting

but the mismatch between the manual and what I understand of the rig tells
me there might be something important I have not learned.

Why do I care? 
I do headphone switching in software--multiple radio audio channels and mic
audio are routed to a software mixer which reads those, and writes multiple
channels to headphones and to a long term WAV file recording. I would prefer
to use the USB Windows Recording device as the "received audio" input to
this mixer. But, for now, I am using an analog cable from the "Speaker" jack
on the K3S back panel to a sound card because that is the only way I have
found to turn off the "monitor" function. That is, when I use the
all-digital path, I hear my own voice in my headphones and my brain just
won't deal with that gracefully.

Re: [Elecraft] Cruise Operation

I would think it has more to do with inconvenience and liability to other 
passengers, tripping over wires, getting zapped, setting off pacemakers, 
messing with shipboard nav, shorting out the generators leaving the ship dark, 
cold, the swimming pool unheated and ice makers impotent.

And, God forbid, if anything serious happened at sea, all the PR folks back at 
HQ need is some PITA eyewitness on the radio ruining a good story.

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 built in mic

Dan,

You may have been pressing and holding XMIT, which goes into TUNE mode (CW). 
You just need to *tap* XMIT to go into voice transmit, then tap it again to 
exit. It doesn’t act like a PTT switch.

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 built in mic

[Augie "Gus" Hansen]

Sounds like you might have had SPLIT activatedwith CW mode on VFO B.

I was doing the SOTA ‘S2S’ summit to summit party today from Oregon, and had

as there were a few guys on. Don’t believe I’ve ever made a voice Q with this 
rig.. Of course I forgot the mic, but I figured I could use the built in one. 
The problem was that everytime I transmitted (pressing ‘XMIT’) in the mode 
window it would switch to CW and back to USB as I released it.I thought it 
might be the CW in SSB setting, allowing CW to be sent while in SSB mode so I 
changed the menu setting in CW Weight, but it still continued to show the same 
in the mode window. ...

[Elecraft] HBD K2...and HBD Norcal 40

[John AE5X]

There is currently an effort being made to commemorate another N6KR design - 
the Norcal 40/40a. That little rig will be 25 years old in 2018 and there is an 
effort being led by K7QO to reproduce the kit using (some) SMD parts and a new 
design of the audio freq annunciation circuitry.

The idea is to put your NC-40 on the air throughout 2018 and work as many 
others as you can. For those who don't have an original one, the new version 
will hopefully come to fruition.

Details are updated daily on the "qrp-tech" YahooGroup.

Re: [Elecraft] Cruise Operation

[dyarnes]

I just completed a cruise on Holland America’s Westerdam.   I thought about 
trying to take a KX2 along (I’ve operated on cruise ships before), but their 
policy is discouraging.  You can operate in the territorial waters of Canada 
and the U.S., and I guess maybe even Holland, but not in other territorial 
waters.  Somehow, I thought there might be a work around on this from the 
Captain, but decided not to try.  Well, I did bring an HT, but never used it!  

Holland America’s policy is sort of intriguing.  It seems they don’t have a 
basic problem with operating, so long as you don’t obstruct things, but it also 
seems they are concerned about operating privileges in various countries.  In 
other words, does the operator have the necessary reciprocal permissions under 
CEPT or otherwise.  If that’s the case, I sort of see their point as it could 
be problematic for the ship.  However, it also seems that one could provide the 
necessary documentation to show permission.  I suppose that could be just too 
complicated for them to deal with.

I also interpret their policy to NOT be prohibitive if you are on the open sea! 
 On many cruises you are not really sure just how far out you are as you can 
often see land in the distance.  However, there are usually several “at sea” 
days, and on a trans-oceanic cruise you should be relatively safe.  On the 
Westerdam, the TV system has a channel that constantly shows the ship’s current 
position, so a little navigation skill could allow you to determine your 
distance from any country.  Even my cell phone indicated when we were “at sea”! 
 Hi.  

In essence, given their stated policy, I guess I could have done some operating.

Oh Well!

[Elecraft] HBD K2

[Martin Sole]

Wikipedia says, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elecraft, The company's 
first product was the K2 transceiver, which was first prototyped in 
October 1997. Wayne puts meat on that statement here, 
https://www.mail-archive.com/elecraft@mailman.qth.net/msg115050.html.


Its nearly October, 2017, 20 years, hmm.

My own K2, 7723, is just starting to come alive, first tests done and 
the majority of stuffing for the second testing is now done.


While I guess we all wonder just how long through hole kit production 
will be viable, 20 years seems a remarkable milestone in any products life.


HBD K2 and Elecraft.


Martin, HS0ZED
