Re: [Elecraft] K3s Low sub receiver volume

2018-02-07 Thread Scott
You may want to check that NR is the same (on or off) for both 
receivers.  In my experience you may have NR off for the main and NR on 
for the sub.  That will give you a "lower volume" for the sub.  Also, 
check the attenuater is the same for both receivers too.

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 Travel Case for Portable Operation

2018-02-07 Thread Joan
I keep my KX2 in a Pelican 1300 case.  It is a small but deep case—with enough 
depth to fit a 7 AHr 4-cell LiFePO4 battery and some kit in a bottom layer with 
the KX2 and more stuff on top.  I plan to add a SideCarPlus memory keyer to 
that top layer.  This is a waterproof go station for bike trailer or car 
camping and a bit heavy for backpacking

Re: [Elecraft] Old Posts

2018-02-07 Thread Neil Zampella
PM Mail .. that brought back memories.  My OS/2 box was my main computer 
until it got to the point where I had no choice to move to Win7, because 
Win7 was as stable as OS/2 - eComStation.   However, by that time I had 
moved from PM Mail (which was no longer being supported) to Thunderbird, 
haven't looked back.


I think the reason old posts are are showing up was because for about a 
4 or 5 day period, I didn't get a single thing from the list.   I 
suspect that there was either a server issue, or something else that 
kept the email from being sent.

I've done exactly this since starting with email more than 20 years

Re: [Elecraft] K3 DTMF tones

2018-02-07 Thread Joe Subich, W4TV


Elecraft and Kenwood reverse the pin used for +8V that powers
the DTMF encoder.  You will need to move the wire on pin 5 of
the Kenwood Foster plug to pin 6 to get the +8V from K3/K3s.

The same is true if you want to use a Kenwood desk mic with
built-in preamp or active equalizer (e.g., MC-60A, MC-80, MC-85,
etc.) with the preamp or eq.

Well, in the absence of the long awaited DTMF software enhancement for
the K3  I have at last bought myself a Kenwood microphone, fitted with
an 8-pin plug that mates with the K3. But I have had no success in
getting the DTMF feature to work :-(

As the Kenwood mic is electret I have switched bias on with MIC SEL
although, surprisingly, the microphone seems to work equally well with
it switched off!

Does anyone know how to get the Kenwood DTMF mic to work with the K3?

[Elecraft] KX2 Travel Case for Portable Operation

2018-02-07 Thread John Harper
I use a B case. Similar to Pelican but less $$$:

Here's how it looks with the tiny foam blocks removed to accomodate a KX2,
paddles, etc:

Re: [Elecraft] Selectivity

2018-02-07 Thread Bob McGraw K4TAX
Are you using or boosting the receive EQ in CW mode?   I believe at 
lower BW settings the EQ will be negated thus you are losing the effects 
of the applied boost.   As an operating practice, little to no RX EQ 
should be used for CW mode as EQ typically creates phase effects 
impacting harmonic content of the audio signal.    It is always much 
better to "attenuate" as opposed to "boost".

[Elecraft] Old Posts Explained

2018-02-07 Thread Eric Rosenberg
This list wasn't the only one impacted. I'm the lit admin for the PVRC
reflector. We had the sdame issues: 

 

Here's the explanation from KA9FOX of QSL.NET: 

 

The QSL.net box (which hosts the mailman.qth.net mailing lists) had some
file system corruption that wasn't immediately apparent.  This was causing
some queue issues.  Now all resolved, but a bunch of randomly held messages
over the last week did get let loose.

Re: [Elecraft] ALC and Solid State Amps...

2018-02-07 Thread Bob McGraw K4TAX
As a general practice, most do not recommend using ALC from the amp to 
the transceiver.    ALC is not a "compression" mode and should not be 
used as such.   The ALC performance in modern transceivers will usually 
be superior in performance to the voltage derived in the amp and then 
processed by the transceiver to control drive power.


The amp should have adequate safeguards designed in to prevent overdrive 
and alert the operator of such occurrence.

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 Travel Case for Portable Operation

I found a very nice, light but rugged pouch on Amazon that has some nice 
features, including spots for a couple of Packtenna minis and accessories.
It’s not overly padded but rather intended to slip into your main rucksack and 
not dig into you like a pelican.

I was on a SOTA trip with WG0AT last September and he had a very nice tin that 
the KX2 fit in.  It wasn't much bigger than the KX2. I've also run across the 
nice pelican case style setups.  While the pelican case will definitely protect 
the KX2 it seems like a bulky solution while hiking.

When I activated a couple SOTA"s last summer I took my KX3 with the side

While it worked I didn't think it was the best solution.

What are others doing?

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] KX2 Travel Case for Portable Operation

As a lightweight backpacking case, I’m considering the Peak Design Field Pouch 
($40). It doesn’t have a lot of padding, but it only weighs 5.4 ounces.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017KOJZ1S/

My other idea is to tape together a bubble wrap or Reflectix pouch and put that 
in an Ultra-sil dry bag.

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] KX2 Travel Case for Portable Operation

2018-02-07 Thread Brad J. Butler via Elecraft
Rich,

 

I happen to like the Lowe Pro small case (CS40) that they offer from Elecraft.  
I do quite a bit of SOTA and travel with my KX2, and I’ve found that it does 
very well.  It holds a power cord, USB cord, extra KX2 internal battery, 
paddle, microphone, and an extra antenna adapter (and the radio!).  It’s kinda 
fat when filled up, but works like a champ.  I take that case and slide it into 
my backpack and I’m off and running.  

 

I’m a huge Pelican case fan (my wife informed me of this “condition”), but I 
still like the Lowe Pro case for the KX2 (mine also has the SideKX panels and 
cover that you’re talking about).  

 

If you want ideas on Pelican cases, let me know…I have a case for just the 
KXPA100 and a case that holds a KX3, PX3, and KXPA100…I can give you those 
details/pictures if you need them.

Subject: [KX3] KX2 Travel Case for Portable Operation

 

  

I've seen a few neat ideas on how to carry/use a KX2 in the field.

I just picked up a very nice KX2 (Thanks WB5XX) that I plan on using for 
SOTA op's.  It came with the SideKX end panels and the protective 
plastic cover.

I was on a SOTA trip with WG0AT last September and he had a very nice 
tin that the KX2 fit in.  It wasn't much bigger than the KX2. I've also 
run across the nice pelican case style setups.  While the pelican case 
will definitely protect the KX2 it seems like a bulky solution while hiking..

When I activated a couple SOTA"s last summer I took my KX3 with the side 
panels/cover.  I just wrapped it with a towel and stuck it in my back 
pack.  While it worked I didn't think it was the best solution.

What are others doing?

I've gotten quite a few duplicates. (I suspect that Thunderbird is better at 
deleting duplicates.)

Is QRP-L also on mailman.qth.net? If so that's probably the place to look.

and immediately dump what I don't need. 


I've done exactly this since starting with email more than 20 years ago. 
My first email client was PM Mail, running in OS/2. By the time I 
migrated to NT, there was a Win version, and I stuck with it, which 
might yield a clue about how long ago that was. :)  I switched to

... or a difference between expectation and reality.

You drop a letter at the post office, and you expect it to be delivered 
in a day or two, and it usually is, but sometimes it takes weeks.


E-Mail is no different.  It's not instant messaging, it is usually fast, 
but it can take five days.


It's in the standards documents that describe SMTP.

[Elecraft] Sale - XV50 Transverter

2018-02-07 Thread Ken Jones
Hi All,


Have the subject transverter I'm not using. Works well. No scratches, dents or 
dings.

Comes with the original manual and the three connecting cables for the K2.

For the K2 you need the K60XV option.

The "builder alert" bypass cap change has been done and the sheets included.

The XV "Manual Errata", Rev B-1 has been incorporated and the sheets included.

Will be packed well. Did lots of E-Bay packing.

Asking 140.00 + 15.00 shipping (US only).

Pay-Pal is fine or a postal Money Order.


Thanks for reading, Ken, W2GIW, Sewell, NJ

Re: [Elecraft] K3 No. 8527, CMP/PWR-Control not responding

2018-02-07 Thread Thomas Kluge
Hi Arne,

A few years ago I had an issue with one of the push buttons at one of
the encoders (K3, SN #1160). This problem resulted in a complete mix-up 
of the function assignments of almost all buttons in the front panel -
so I had to repair it. I decided to exchange all 4 encoders - because
the types were changed in the meantime and the push feeling is
different. As already written in an other comment: It was not really
fun and not so easy. And the end I was quite happy when I powered it up
and everything was working again (and nothing else got broken during
the repair)... You may have already the latest encoder revision - in
this case it's "only" one to replace...
The following web page was quite useful:

Re: [Elecraft] Macro for K3/K3s and FT8?

2018-02-07 Thread Dave Cole (NK7Z)

Hi,
I have a short blog post on adding an external control keypad to the K3 at:

http://nk7z.net/adding-external-keypad-k3/

About halfway down is a link to the CP48_Master-Spreadsheet, which is a 
spreadsheet where I keep about 20 macros.


There is also Fred Cady's  book, "Elecraft Macro Programming", which in 
addition to being the best reference on Elecraft macros, has a lot of 
finished examples.



73s and thanks,

When plucking a particular station out on FT8, something that would be useful 
in the increasingly crowded segment conditions would be to have the radio's 
filters narrow the passband to just a particular width at a particular 
frequency (and then go back to a much wider bandwidth at particular times).

I see that the IS and FW (or BW, recommended by the K3 programmer's manual) can 
do this -- has anyone developed a macro like this for this application?

Example: FT8 on 20m uses the dial frequency of 14074.00, USB. If I'm trying to 
hear a station at 1800Hz, I'd like to narrow my RX passband to be between 
14075.77 and 14076.10 (ft8 bw is 50Hz). But also want to go back to a 2.4 kHz 
bandwidth.  I might also want to transmit outside the parameters of my RX 
passband, e.g. in this example, I might transmit tones from 800-850 Hz.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Power Cable

2018-02-07 Thread Howard Hoyt

Dave,

The vast majority of the voltage drop you see is not in the DC Power cable, it 
is in the anti-parallel polarity protection diode in the KX3 itself and all KX3 
users see this drop regardless of what gauge cable you power the KX3 with.  A 1 
M length of 18 gauge cable will drop less than 0.1 V at the maximum current of 
2.5 A the KX3 can draw at 15 W.

Your internal voltage reading of 11.4 V is too low for the KX3 to allow 
operation over 5 W, and the problem is your power supply voltage is too low.  I 
suggest you use a power supply which delivers at least 13.8 V with a receive 
load of 0.2 A.  That will fix your transmit power issue, and it is the reason 
we designed the Kx33 Low-RFI power supply to output 14.2 V at a KX3 receive 
load of 0.2 A.  There are other advantages as well to this higher supply 
voltage such as higher power output with lower IMD in digital and SSB modes.

Cheers & 73,
Howie - WA4PSC
www.proaudioeng.com



I am using the standard power cable that is supplied with the KX3.  Using a
digital multi meter and the built in voltage monitoring capability of the
KX3, it looks like the supply voltage is dropped by 0.5 volts in the power
cord when transmitting with 5 watts

[Elecraft] K3 DTMF tones

Well, in the absence of the long awaited DTMF software enhancement for
the K3  I have at last bought myself a Kenwood microphone, fitted with
an 8-pin plug that mates with the K3. But I have had no success in
getting the DTMF feature to work :-(

As the Kenwood mic is electret I have switched bias on with MIC SEL
although, surprisingly, the microphone seems to work equally well with
it switched off!

Does anyone know how to get the Kenwood DTMF mic to work with the K3?

Re: [Elecraft] wsjtx-x drops receive signal and stops txing, randomly

2018-02-07 Thread Dave B via Elecraft
Bet that's a Mac being used!  They do seem to be more prone to this sort
of thing, than other "lower class" of computing devices.

It's sadly all too common an issue, and no one yet I think has found the
definitive answer as to why it happens, or how!

Unless you suddenly find that there is no RX immediately after a
successful TX, in which case I'd suspect RFI getting into the
PC/Sound-card interface.

Check your cables are secure, and there are no "pin-1" problems
anywhere.   Keep the "area" of any ground loops to a minimum too.

Check on the JT mode forum's etc.   But you'll need to detail the
make/model of PC, sound-card (if external) Radio.  Also the OS and
version used, plus exact version of the software and perhaps sound-card
drivers, for anyone to even begin to tie this down.

[Elecraft] KX1 Value

2018-02-07 Thread eric norris via Elecraft
Is $1500 outrageous for an unbuilt KX1 when a working HW-8 goes for $400+ and 
an unbuilt HW-8 goes for $800+?  What if the invoice from Elecraft says "The 
Last KX1?"
Just curious what people think.  Building and using a KX1 was and is a blast.  
It's a masterpiece!

Re: [Elecraft] QUICK QUESTION

2018-02-07 Thread Bill Frantz
look for the SMA connector next to the BNC antenna connector. 
That will tell you if the KX3 has a 4M or 2M module. Opening it 
up is quite easy, as it is the way you change the internal 
batteries, so that works too. If the installer checked the 2M or 
4M box on the transverter, you get a clue as to which band was installed.
