Re: [Elecraft] Firing up K3 attached to PC via USB

[donovanf]

>From the description of K3 firmware update dated 8-3-2015 
MCU 5.33 / DSP 2.86 / FPF 1.23 






PC applications can activate PTT and KEY at the K3S via the USB 
port's RTS/DTR signals. However, initial setup of the rig's USB port 
by the PC may cause pulsed or continuous activation of the transmitter. 
This can happen if the computer is turned on after the K3S, or if the 
USB cable is not connected. 


The K3S now a "Safe" mode (the default) which disables PTT-KEY 
transmit until the K3S receives a command via the USB port, such 
as a read of the K3S VFO frequency. 


To turn safe mode on/off, go into CONFIG:PTT-KEY and tap '1' to 
select "USB SAFE" or "UNSAFE". Exit the menu and turn the K3S 
off/on. 


Applications that use PTTKEY via USB but never send commands 
to the K3S may require "UNSAFE" mode. In this case, unwanted 
transmit can be avoided by turning the PC on before the K3S.

Yes, it's normal. There is a config parameter you can set to eliminate 
this behavior.

All, 

The alternative is to switch on computer first, then your K3.

Of course you need to remember to do that, though ...

Re: [Elecraft] K-Pod Power from data port for k3s serial 10511

[hawley, charles j jr]

The resistor is in series from a 5 vdc source. The pod takes alternatively 
about 50 ma from 9 to 15 vdc. So I would think any resistor from 6.8 to maybe 
up to 10.

Subject: [Elecraft] K-Pod Power from data port for k3s serial 10511

Hello to all,

This saturday I decided to install in my k3s the second receiver KRX3A with two 
filters and the KDVR3 that I bought last month.
In the future, hope very near, I am interested to buy also a k-pod.
I read the k-pod manual and I seen that to power the k-pod directly from the 
data Port there is a modification to apply.
My k3s is serial number 10511 so is one of those that needs the mod.

I thought to do the mod this Saturday, to open the k3s only one time but I 
can't find a 6.8 ohm resistor in my rubbish.
Is it necessary absolutely a 6.8 ohm or is possible to use other value more 
diffuse? Maybe a value near to 6.8 ohm or other combination?
What exactly does this mod ?

Any help, please ?

Thanks a lot in advance , best regards, Graziano iw2noy

Re: [Elecraft] Firing up K3 attached to PC via USB

[Dave G3WGN M6O]

No need to go into the Config menu.  Put the 'Test' function on by holding
the Mode^ key.  Start up the PC and no TX will occur.
Just don't forget to take the Test mode off again before calling that rare
DX - ask me how I know...

Yeah, unfortunately it is.  It's Windoze checking out the serial port 
connection.  You can avoid the problem by setting CONFIG:PTT/KEY to 
OFF/OFF.  I have one of the PF keys programmed to access that menu item 
so I can set it up on the rare occasions I use computer keying (N1MM+).

[Elecraft] [RESOLVED] Using P3 Buttons to Execute Macros

[Byron Peebles]

I found my answer on the elecraft.com software page in the bullet-list 
under the latest revision.


To link a P3 function key to a Macro, you manually (using a keyboard) 
enter the macro, go into the P3 menu, SVGA menu and use the Select Knob 
to get to Macro, select the macro (mem) you want and then hit the 
function key.  Hit menu again to exit.

I entered it manually via keyboard (what year is this?).

I placed it in MEM 5 with KEY F5 but MEM 5 must not associate with 
FN-5 and I don't see how to make them associated.

[Elecraft] Using P3 Buttons to Execute Macros

[Byron Peebles]

Paul Saffren N6HZ posted here in October 2016 that the next release of 
the P3 firmware would allow you to associate a front-panel FN key with a 
Macro.  Does anyone know if that ever happened?  I manually entered a 
long macro as a test but I don't see any way to execute it.


I entered it manually via keyboard (what year is this?).

I placed it in MEM 5 with KEY F5 but MEM 5 must not associate with FN-5 
and I don't see how to make them associated.


Thanks, es 73, Byron

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 ordered 8/24 [Elecraft Shipping Status Page Update]

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Last night we updated the shipping status page with KPA1500 shipping status.
http://www.elecraft.com/elecraft_shipping_status.htm

We received a huge number of orders over the first couple of days (8/24 and 
8/25) and the order rate was strong for quite some time after that. (The number 
of orders in even the first 30 minutes was amazing..)


Here's a copy of what is currently posted on the shipping status page:

*(Feb 6, 2018)  KPA1500s are now Shipping!*

KPA1500s have now started shipping against our backlog (we started several days 
ago). Yay! :-) Its been a lot of hard work getting it released and rolling, but 
we are all excited to see KPA1500s burning in on the test racks and heading out 
the door!


The first several weeks of production will ramp ramp up slowly, with the 
production rate speeding up after that. Email and/or phone notifications will be 
sent each week to customers whose KPA1500 will be shipped within that week.


We are now beginning to ship orders from August 24th, the first day we began 
taking orders. Due to very large rush of orders we received that day, we expect 
to be shipping the Aug. 24 orders over the next 3-4 weeks.


Please note that KPA1500 orders were received by the website, emails, mail, 
trade shows and phone calls, so order numbers will not indicate exactly where 
you are in the delivery queue. We also received a very large number of KPA1500 
orders daily during the first several weeks, so orders with the same order date 
will ship spread over a large number of days.


You can also see eHam reviews of the KPA1500 at:

Re: [Elecraft] K3 DTMF tones

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

> What is surprising, however, is that everything works equally well
> whether MIC BIAS is On or Off.

Bias to the electret element is not supplied by mic line - it's supplied
from the tone generator IC!  The tone generator supplies voltage when
no buttons are pushed which enables the mic.  When a button is pushed,
mic voltage goes away and the PTT circuit is enabled.


I would have thought that the voltage on pin-6 of the front panel
socket would have gone off when MIC BIAS is set to Off, but that is
evidently not the case.

K3 Mic bias is DC on the mic audio line (pin 1).  It has no effect
on pin 6.

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.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 DTMF tones

[hawley, charles j jr]

I’m thinking that the bias on/off is a voltage applied to the mic lead, pin 1. 
That works for some xlr hookups. I was thinking that pin 5 for the kenwood 
(also) powers the amp in the base of some of the kenwood mics. The pin 5 or 6 
voltage is on all the time.

[Elecraft] Impact of the new synthesizer

[ANDY NEHAN via Elecraft]

I have searched the archive and I cant find what my memory tells me I saw! I 
recall someone with a close neighbour operator having photos on the impact of 
the other operator and themselves before and after the synthesizer upgrade. I 
would very much like to have copies of those photos for a talk I am giving at a 
local radio club.
Thanks in advance.

Re: [Elecraft] Travel Cases

[BJ ROLLISON]

I carry my K2/100 in a Tenba BY09 camera bag, and put that inside a Mindshift 
Rotation 180 backpack along with my KAT 100, a Vibrokeyer (in a Lowepro case), 
the MFJ 818 swr/wattmeter, and a RigExpert AA-30 that is perfect for carry on 
luggage. The power supply, and Buddipole goes in checked luggage. 

If I am operating QRP the K2/100 gets replaced with a K2/10 and some 
non-essentials are replaced with more important items and the Buddipole gets 
strapped to the side. The Mindshift backpack also has space for camera and some 
additional necessities.  

So, it actually serves dual purpose, and is very easy to pack anywhere and 
while it doesn't offer the knock around protection of a Pelican case, I am not 
in the habit of throwing around electronic equipment.

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.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 DTMF tones

[David Pratt]

Thank you, Joe, Don and Chuck Jack; the mic is an MC-48 which is shown
as an electret on the schematic. I shall certainly swap the plug
connection from pin-5 to pin-6 and give it another go. I note that the
UP and DOWN buttons give some strange effects so those need my attention
too.

73 es tnx agn de David G4DMP

[Elecraft] KPA-500 Buzzing noise

[Dave Gynn via Elecraft]

First of all I¹m new to this forum having just taken delivery of a KPA-500
and KAT-500 pre built by the Distributors in the UK.

What has surprised me is that when either tuning or operating the KPA-500
with WSJT-X  there is a very noticeable buzzing noise, not a transformer
hum, from the unit. The Power output LED¹s light up but the last one appears
to flicker at the same frequency as the buzzing.. This happens irrespective
of whether the output is 50w or 300w. The KPA-500 is driven by a Flex-6700.

Grateful to know if anyone else experiences this?  I was expecting a very
quiet unit but this buzzing is quite disconcerting.

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'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?

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.

There have been a few posts on this subject, but none had answers.


Both my main and sub receiver are on the same antenna.

The audio volume from the sub is much lower.

The AF for the main is…… let’s say at 9 o’clock….. to get equal volume 
level from the sum… Sub AF has to be at 3-4 o’clock.


RF on both are the same.

Any suggestions? Is this normal?
