Re: [Elecraft] Advice needed: Remote Station Enhancement

Joe, You do admit that many amateur products do not conform to typical communications standards in the digital world. My experience does go back to my design and evaluation of IBM terminal communication between a DCE and a DTE device.  Although this was not necessarily RS-232 levels, the

I also think that Elecraft would make a good case study in a business school [Harvard?]. Small, hobby oriented start up that goes on to become a leader in its field, showing how a one-of-a-kind product plus excellent first-person support leads to success. Might send that idea along to Harvard

Re: [Elecraft] Advice needed: Remote Station Enhancement

You're dealing with a "standard" that was originally developed for use only within one company's products - much like Elecraft's Aux Bus. As such, any "industry standard" is moot. The design is for active high/voltage source (to +12V originally) and was not intended for any purpose than

Re: [Elecraft] Advice needed: Remote Station Enhancement

The problem is that most devices (in the ham world) expect the driver device to provide voltage. In the communications (non-ham) world, the expectation is that the driver device produces either a logic low (short to common) or a logic high ( open circuit). Look at the data sheets for "line

Re: [Elecraft] K3s Low sub receiver volume

I use the sub on diversity and dual monitoring. I have my front panel knobs set to adjust levels between the two receivers. If using diversity, then B Set is required to set the correct antenna as the wrong antenna can create low volume. You might want to review your settings and possibly go

[Elecraft] KPA1500

It was a valid question Bill, there was no reason for criticism. Ham radio is an aging group with many being 70+ years old. Some ops of any age may have physical limitations. One of the attractions to the Elecraft line is its small size and light weight. Good luck "creating the funds", I have not

Re: [Elecraft] Advice needed: Remote Station Enhancement

Knut, That is the way it *should* be, and was that way in the K3 originally. But many (most) ham devices do not do it that way, they expect the pullup resistors will be provided by the driver gear. So, because of that, Elecraft added pullup resistors to the band data outputs of the K3 long

Re: [Elecraft] Advice needed: Remote Station Enhancement

Hi Don and all, Hear,hear, Don. The receivers should have the pullup resistor to whatever the appropriate voltage needed (within reason) *and* a steering diode in series with the input. This will prevent another device with a higher voltage from feeding current back into the device which could

Hi Jim, Since MSK144 has a bandwidth about 10 times the size of JT65A, I expect that any KX3 calibrated with the temperature compensation routine (http://www.elecraft.com/manual/KX3%20Custom%20VFO%20TC%20rev%20A9.pdf) should work OK. As you know, KX3 units with number above about 10,000 have
