Re: [Elecraft] Unexpected K-POD frequency excursions

Nope, the K-pod connects directly to the K3s via an 8-pin flat cable, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. The mouse is a USB wired mouse. - pjd From: AB2E Darrell Sent: Monday, November 25, 2019 12:15 AM To: Peter Dougherty ; Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Unexpected K-POD

Re: [Elecraft] Unexpected K-POD frequency excursions

Hi Peter, Just an idea. Does the ipod generate a virtual serial port? Do you have a bluetooth mouse? Not quite my setup but I've recently had trouble with a usb serial cable randomly interacting with the Microsoft bluetooth mouse and the serial cable becomes intermittent. The mouse jumps

[Elecraft] Unexpected K-POD frequency excursions

Hi all, In CQWW this weekend I ran across a problem that's been plaguing me in previous contests too. With the K-pod connected to the radio (K3s) using the supplied cable I'm finding that the main VFO QSYs down about 100-200 Hz on a random basis. I tried loading the flat cable up with Mix 31

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

Good Evening,    I could not find an open space to run the twenty meter net. The forty meter net started when the CQWW contest faded away. There was QSB on everyone I worked.  Those farther east had slow waves.  KG7V is just across the Columbia River from me (and a little up the coast) had a

Re: [Elecraft] XFIL on K3

Don, no apology necessary. But this is one item I was cautioned about before I purchased. I didn’t see your response until after Dick had responded. I’d have been confused! I’ve ewww had my K3 now for ten years and a local guru. But I can close my eyes and Stan at any page in the manual and

Re: [Elecraft] KAT-500 problem

Something is acting as an antenna. I made several hundred mile contacts with a 100w light bulb "dummy load" on 40m in the 1950's. Might be ground system is working as antenna or radio as found connection via other equipment. Be interesting to find out what you discover. 73, Ed - KL7UW

[Elecraft] KPA500/KAT500 remote utility apps

Wayne and Eric, Is there a possibility of creating/enabling a window position and size save function in a future revision of these two remote control apps. They works very well, but pop up in dead center of my "Screen 1" display on any fresh start. I use "Screen 2" for radio apps have not been

Re: [Elecraft] XFIL on K3

My apologies for my note yesterday on this subject, it was incorrect. I have just been informed by one of the Elecraft engineers that I erred in my statement that the K3 filters could be in any order, so Bill was right. See Dick's comments to me below.  I did not see that note in my early K3

[Elecraft] LED/LCD Monitor?

In anticipation of my K4D I’d like to put an accompanying monitor on my Christmas list. What I need to know is if anyone has a suggestion or experience as to brand/model that plays well in an RF environment not producing or being susceptible to noise. Thanks 73 Marty / W4MY

[Elecraft] KAT-500 problem

KAT500 antenna port isolation is not impressive, at least not after using an Alpha Delta 4 port switch. I have ANT-3 port connected to an Alpha Delta switch that selects either my dummy load or a back yard antenna. The other KAT500 ports are connected to a 40 m dipole and my SteppIR. Several
