Re: [Elecraft] "See" CW WPM on P3/SVGA?

[Cady, Fred]

Hi Bret,

You can turn on CW decoding in the K3S and see the decoded CW and the CW speed 
in the VFO B display area.


Hold TEXT DEC and tune VFO B to WPM CHK.  You can also choose TX ONLY to check 
your sending, CW 5-40 and CW 30-90.

Tune VFO A to adjust the decoding threshold.  thr AUTO is a good place to start.


CW decoding works best when you are tuned to the zero beat frequency.

Turn CWT on by tapping  CWT and then tap SPOT to automatically slide you in on 
the correct freqquency.


Now turn the big knob to a CW signal you see on the P3.


Cheers,

Fred KE7X

Re: [Elecraft] "See" CW WPM on P3/SVGA?

[Don Wilhelm]

Bret,

You can use the waterfall display on the
P3 and SVGA option to see the relative speed of the dots and dashes 
being sent.  I suggest that is your best alternative.


Once you find one that is sending at about the speed you want, then turn 
the "big Knob" to that station.


It may take some tuning and listening time to familiarize yourself with 
the speeds being sent by other stations.
You can use the ARRL code practice and/or bulletin transmissions as a 
guide.  The bulletins are sent at 18 wpm.

FT8 is no different than other soundcard data modes.

On the KX3 part, set the DATA mode to DATA A.  Ignore the 
common internet advice for setting the audio and power levels 
(and the WSJT-X instructions), and set the KX3 audio level to 
indicate 4 bars on the ALC meter with the 5th bar flashing.  
Control the power with the power knob.


There is an article on my website www.w3fpr.com to assist you

Not zero --- one of the few things that the FCC field enforcement is
still doing involves responding to complaints of leaky cable systems
because of the possibility of signal leaking in the Aviation and Public
Safety bands.  They won't do anything unless the affected party makes a
complaint, though. 1-888-CALL FCC  (1-888-225-5322).  The magic words
are "cable signal leakage causing interference to communications".

It started going downhill when the FCC in its infinite wisdom (my
employer at the time) decided to shift most of its responsibilities,
including  the equipment approval process, to the private sector.
Depending on what the relationship between  the testing lab and the
manufacturer is, the testing may be above-board or just "stick on a
label".  Then we have the problem of the "laboratory queens" where
devices submitted for testing are tweaked into compliance just for that
purpose and they bear little or any resemblance to the devices shipped
to the market other than cosmetic.  The cheap-o Chinese radios are a
prime example.  The volume of electronic devices shipped from overseas
has so overwhelmed both the FCC and the US Customs that they have
stopped requiring and processing  the former Declaration of Conformity
(FCC Form 740) for importation.

Enough ranting

That's always the first step in chasing RFI.  If that does it, then trip
each individual breaker one at a time and see which one(s) stop the
noise.  It's not rocket science and a lot easier  than starting with
appliances/lamps as the first step.
