Re: [Elecraft] ERR 12V

Check the crimp connections on the spade connections that slip onto the circuit breaker inside the unit. When I went to check mine the other day a simple tug on the wire pulled the wire right out of the connector. Bought some new ones crimped them on well and I've never had an issue since.

[Elecraft] K3 DTMF

I've been trying to find if there is a way to do this but have been coming up blank... Is there a way to send DTMF tones with the K3? ~Brett (N7MG) __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help:

I'd really love to see this as an addition to the radio... I've got a Heil Goldline which is a nice mic but its well overkill for what is actually necessary. I kinda like the mic stand and all... I gotta admit when I went to try and bring up the command mode on a repeater after finally getting

2011-04-12 Thread Brett Howard
Soon there is going to be an option that will allow one to synchronize the 2Meter transverter with the K3's LO. This should help quite a bit. In the event that you want stability and accuracy there will also soon be an option that will allow one to input a 10Mhz reference and the K3 will

What would be even more exciting is for people who use things this way Why not remember the last frequency you were on in that segment rather than simply recalling a frequency Similar to the way that memories 0-9 can work as band recalls then M1-M4 could become segment recalls that

I was one of the beta testers and I tested the unit with the standard oscillator. I haven't run into any issues and found the fixed error across all bands to be quite nice. I never saw more than about 3Hz of error no matter the frequency on the VFO dial. Thats not to mean that if you have a

Re: [Elecraft] KXV3A vs KXV3?

2011-06-22 Thread Brett Howard
The A version is only needed if you wish to install the internal 2 Meter transverter. Essentially the only difference is the addition of an IF in and IF out connector on internal TMP connectors. If you never plan on using the 2 Meter internal transverter there is no reason to upgrade. ~Brett

You are using a DB-15HD cable that has all of the wires present. There are some lines in the DB15HD that should be cut. If you get the official K3 cable from Elecraft some of the pins in the connector have been cut out. The KPA500 manual will show you what pins should be present in a cable. Make

KPA500 is about 13dB so if you can get about 12 watts out of your KX3 you'll get about 250 out of your KPA500. ~Brett (N7MG) On Mon, Jan 14, 2013 at 7:33 PM, Terry Domae terry.do...@gmail.com wrote: Hi - I was wondering if there were any plans for what I'll call a KX3 interface/adapter to

I don't see how it could without having an auxbus port. However the KX3 may already output Kenwood data on the serial port. If that is the case it might work to use the RS232 port on the KPA500 to talk to the KX3. ~Brett (N7MG) On Mon, Jan 14, 2013 at 9:42 AM, ac...@aol.com wrote: Does

The pinout of the cable that should be used is in the manual. That pinout illustrates the lines that should be connected and NO other lines other than that which are displayed in the manual should be connected. ~Brett (N7MG) On Tue, Jan 15, 2013 at 10:10 AM, Lu Romero lrom...@ij.net wrote:

I've found the large hoof type soldering iron tips are best for soldering the tiniest of parts and they also make it very easy to set the hoof over the top of parts and just peel them off. You can use the hole to set it over the device. Our technician who does nothing but solder 0201 to 0603

Actually bypass for the ATU is less bypass that one might sometimes hope for and there have been times where even when in bypass the SWR of a dummy may not look good however enabling the ATU, tuning, and then going back into bypass can solve this issue. This is why the suggestions are being made
