This might help: here's a PTT button you can build from parts at Radio Shack. Use the PTT RCA jack instead of the 15-pin accessory connector; I just forgot. http://wa5znu.org/2007/11/k3/ptt/ Leigh/WA5ZNU -- View this message in context:

[Elecraft] K3 init macro feature request

I'd like to see a way to designate an init macro, like the callsign set. For example, I like the rig to remember the TX TEST state and always start up in TX TEST, but I recognize that such a feature might not be popular enough to warrant the development and codespace. However, it's easy to

Re: [Elecraft] Some thoughts on the K3 as an emergency communications station

I'd really like to see some LiFePO4 packs (or at least sheet-metal support for them) for the Elecraft rigs. The K2 would be fairly easy, and the KX1 as well and probably the K1. The K3 has room if there's no amplifier, but LiFePO4 shines in power density, which is just want you need for the

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] '73' on the waterfall

It's a feature in fldigi, HRD, MixW etc. Here's some work I did on it in 2004; I don't know if the MixW version pre-dates my proposal, as I've not used MixW. Dave W1HKJ implemented it in fldigi. http://wa5znu.org/log/2004/09/psk-visual-cq.html Leigh/WA5ZNU -- View this message in context:

Re: [Elecraft] LP-Pan and Rocky (was: SDR with a Twist)

Linux users might be interested in Quisk, which runs fine with LP-PAN; I've also provided an interface to the K3 and fldigi. It uses about 10% of the CPU on my desktop, which is a few years old. http://wa5znu.org/2009/04/quisk-lppan-k3/ There's a Windows port in the works, but not immediately.

Re: [Elecraft] OT Carrying radios on commercial flight

I quite recently flew to Europe from California, and back, with a KX1 and an HT and Buddipole (in suitcase). I put a copy of the QRP Quarterly in my backpack, as it has a big ad for the KX1 in it, but they didn't look. Operating QRP in rural Europe is interesting: there was no noise, and I could

No autonotch in data mode either, which makes sense. Leigh/WA5ZNU -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Updated-to-3-97-where-did-the-auto-notch-go-tp5202576p5202812.html Sent from the [K3] mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Elecraft] KTCXO3-1

I'm not a guru, but the TCXO is already implemented. The fraction-ppm performance that might be gained by using some software isn't there, but the TCXO itself is already more stable than the basic option. Leigh/WA5ZNU -- View this message in context:

In addition to having fldigi decode the last few seconds of a qso you left click and move you, you can also right click on another QSO in fldigi and it will display the last few seconds in purple. Finally, you can set up fldigi so that it puts clickable frequency markers in the receive buffer so

[Elecraft] 30m DX report with KX1 and K3

I took my KX1 outside to see if I could track down a router-ish noise on 20m, and when I couldn't I switched to 30M as I was using a 30M MFJ short loaded whip. I heard SM4OTI booming in. I put the KX1 on top of the car for ground and gave Steve a call, but no joy. I came inside and got an

You might try the Buddipole users list, which you'll find at http://buddipole.com/documentation.html The Buddipole is (usually) a shortened, high-efficiency antenna, which means that it is relatively narrow-banded. It's fed off-center to bring the real component of the impedance up, but on the

Hmmm, it worked for me just to run the Elecraft Utility and tell it to check for new firmware. The link I posted is to the K3 software news page which has all the changes, instructions, etc. It's not a link to a zip file directly. Usually Elecraft sends out a mail message about the production

I have a number of different USB RS232 interfaces, plus a four-port PCI serial card (of which only two ports work under Linux). Recently I tracked down a broadband noise to one of the USB ones I'd been using to control a rotor. It didn't make noise when the device was in use, but if a program
