2017-07-18 Thread Tom Parish
This did it. Problem resolve. Many thanks to all that who responded. This
is one amazing community.

The principle issue was clearly related to running a remote control/logging
software that had radically changed the Kx2 configuration.  Many thanks
to Bob McGraw K4TAX for mentioning this and of course Brian your specific
suggestion of checking the PreAmp gain. It has been pushed down to -60db.
And yes I was wondering what the heck happened regarding overall volume of
the radio but I had previous had some antenna issues and propagation has
been weird here (fewer contacts) and so forth.

Anyway, I'm good. I'm grateful.

[Elecraft] Elecraft@mailman.qth.net

2017-07-17 Thread Tom Parish
I have a feeling I've bumble-fingered something on my KX2 configuration for
CW decoding.

CW decoding is not happening anymore with received signals. Though, oddly,
it's working when I touch the paddles.

As background, I had installed for test purposes Ham Radio Deluxe Software.
After I used it this weekend (well tried to use it) I found my KX2 in an
odd state.  This is likely unreleated but it was something I noticed.

Problem: I'm not seeing any CW decoding anymore except when I manually
touch the paddles.

I can hear CW signals coming in strong but no decoding seems to be occuring
for them.

Settings:
MODE: CW
FILTER: .45
CWT:  on
Logging: On
Green LED is showing
RX Thr - I've tried from THR1-THR4 - no change
The "T" is showing in the lower right hand corner

Is there some other setting I may have inadvertently changed?

appreciatively
Tom

Re: [Elecraft] Getting CW decoding to work (again)

2017-07-16 Thread Tom Parish
It's going to be one of those evenings. I'll try this again.

For some reason I've butterfingered the settings on my KX2 and for the life
of me I cannot get it to work in decoding mode. I keep looking at the KX2
manual on page 29 TEXT DECODE and DISPLAY to step through those
instructions but, no go.

The thing is the display shows a 'T' in the lower right hand corner
indicating it's on.  I'm in CW mode. I can hear CW coming through. I have
CWT activated but no matter what I do I cannot seem to see in any decoding
occuring. I just see  the numbers for the B receiver.

I can only imagine this is an embarrassingly simple remedy but I'm
befuddled at the moment.

Could someone email me your suggestions tom.par...@gmail.com.

Appreciatively
Tom

Re: [Elecraft] Can Anyone recommended a great QRP Antenna and Antenna Pole for KX3

2017-04-02 Thread Tom Parish
Michael - Fred Maas KT5X suggested the following to me recently and it's
working well. $2.99 plus shipping from China. Worth the wait. Delivered
early. Comes with a small cloth case.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/262678511063

These are 3.6m-7.2m Carbon Fiber Stream Pole Telescopic Spinning Freshwater
Fishing Rod

25 inches - fits in a suit case just fine.  Very light - 10 ounces. Expands
to nearly 27 feet.  I don't use the last length.   I purchased two of them.

I use it with my KX2 and a 35ft and 43ft end fed antenna set up. Love it.

Re: [Elecraft] QRZ.com

I think there is a major Amazon (AWS) cloud computing infrastructure issue
going on today that is causing slow downs with a number of websites. So if
QRZ.com is dependent in any way with that infrastructure they will be
experiencing a slow down. It's impacts a lot of us ...

We continue to experience high error rates with S3 in US-East-1, which is

[Elecraft] Newbie question - re: kx2 with amp

2016-11-05 Thread Tom Parish
I am waiting for my kx2 to arrive. I  am delighted at the energetic and 
thoughtful responses in this group.

While waiting I was wondering - is there and option to use the kxa10 100 watt 
amp in the future with the kx2 if I wanted too? 

If so, how much battery power would the kxa10 and optional ATU require for a 
portable hike type operation? I realize it's more weight, I am just curious to 
explore what's possible. 

Thank you,
Tom KG5LBP
