[Elecraft] kxusb question

2017-05-07 Thread barry whittemore
I have a KXUSB and was wondering if i can use it with an ICOM 706. I am going to do a trip with the 706 for the June VHF contest and think it is basically the same except that it has a stereo plug and the 706 is mono. is the ring in the KXUSB used? I do not wish to damage either thing. Thanks

Doug, My wife (NE1F) and I use 2 headsets with our K3 but not directly. We use a Behringer Mic mixer and Headphone mixer. This approach works very well for us. Mary has the inputs set different on the Mixer. We also use the extra inputs for the canned outputs for voice keying to get into the

I used the FAR Circuits K9AY circuit and made my own K9AY loop system. I have a City Lot and while it was not earth shattering in performance there were a few stations that I could hear with it that I could not on my inv Ell. With that setup I was able to get DXCC on 160 with 100 watts. I would

When i got back into ham radio in 1993 i bought an IC725 basic radio and made a homebrew Serial to TTL converter so i could use the PC for controlling the radio. I have never looked back and have been using PC control ever since. I built the interface in a 25 pin D connector shell because thats

What a concept, actually putting the radio in CW mode, hooking up a key or paddles and transmitting/receiving. Brilliant! I like it. Barry NF1O Date: Wed, 28 May 2014 08:51:31 -0500 From: garyk...@wi.rr.com To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Learning Morse Code [OT]

I had a similar problem and it was found to be some RFI getting into the power cable. I wound several turns of the power cable around a 2.5 inch ferite toroid and problem solved. Barry NF1O Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2014 16:00:35 +0100 From: g4...@justfans.co.uk To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net

We use a Behringer 802 Mic Mixer at our station. No to help tune the audio (the radio does that fine) but my wife and i are on together often and we do not have to manually switch mics. It took a few mods to do it all, One is the 802 has the 48 volt phantom voltage and we use PC headsets

I do not understand the need or desire to use the front port. I use CM-500 but plug into the rear ports. One of the features of the really like about the K3 is the clean look with nothing plugged into the front. I converted an old hand mike into a K3 pinout so i could use it if i ever wanted

Re: [Elecraft] K3 RTTY contest

Bill, I use RTTY often in contests and find it incredibly easy to use. I built a very simple interface and use FSK rather than AFSK. that does not require any adjustments etc. I do some of the AFSK modes as well but one mans settings will not be the same as another depending on software volume
