Re: [Elecraft] receive antenna
RC, The receiver is muted during transmit - that has nothing to do with a receive antenna. I don't know how to mute an antenna, but it is certainly not disconnected. Locate your RX antenna away from the transmit antennas, and if you hear the COR being activated (relay clicking noise) take action to reduce the RF energy coming in on the RX antenna. 73, Don W3FPR On 6/21/2012 10:22 AM, Robert 'RC' Conley wrote: when you have a receive antenna hooked up and you go into transmit, is the RX antenna port is MUTED, or is disconnected. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Re: [Elecraft] receive antenna
Would it help to increase the delay in transmitting, CW rise time? I know there are products available from a few sources which introduce an extra delay between TX and RX to overcome your situation. With My K3 and inverted L the separation of K9AY and inverted L is greater than yours but not as much as I would like and all is okay. Previously I had problems with an Orion 2 when using an RX antenna. Experimenting with the delay is easy to do. 73 Doug EI2CN -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of mikefur...@att.net Sent: 22 June 2012 15:20 To: d...@w3fpr.com; Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] receive antenna Thought I hit the reply all button .. -Original Message- From: Don Wilhelm Sent: Friday, June 22, 2012 8:26 AM To: mikefur...@att.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] receive antenna Mike, It would be good if you post that to the Elecraft reflector just for general information. 73, Don W3FPR On 6/22/2012 9:20 AM, mikefur...@att.net wrote: I have a touchy situation in which my K9AY RX loop is 40' from 160 inverted L (very small lot).

[Elecraft] Receive Antenna Selection Confused?
My K3-2266 with internal ATU, I normally switch between 2 Antennas. Is there a way to use one for xmit and one for rx. I do not have the external RX input. Now I just select one to xmit and one to rx when I want to. I would like to have the option to automatically xmit with a vertical and receive with my wire, without pushing the ANT button to select . Can I do it? How?

Assign the vertical (e.g. ANT1) to TX (VFOB), the wire (e.g. ANT2) to RX (VFOA) and press AB once so that both VFOs are on the same frequency. 73, Bill -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Receive-Antenna-Selection-Confused-tp4825202p4825463.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

If you set it ON for 80 and 160, that's the way the radio will come up when you switch to those bands. Of course if you leave it OFF, then it will remember that when you return. 73, Bill W4ZV -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Receive-antenna-tp2180774p2180993.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Or do I have to press the rcv antenna switch each time? Jay, I also use a K9AY for Rx and I have found it most effective on other bands as well. The pre in the Array Solutions setup works great on 80 160 but it attenuates greatly outside these bands. I also have a DXEngineering pre which I use instead to make up the loss of the K9AY and it works well throughout the HF range. I simply leave the K9AY pre turned off. When runing in diversity I can hear benefits on 40 meters and even 30 meters using the K9AY. The nulls don't work well if at all but the K9AY still is an advantage with diversity. Listening to marginal copy DX is still often enhanced this way on those bands. Haven't heard anything new on 20M lately so I haven't spent much time there since I've had the K3 so I don't know how the AY will help on that band or higher. 73, Gary KA1J ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] Receive antenna connection
I have a K9AY receive loop to connect to my K3. The K9AY box needs a RCA phono plug. I'm afraid I don't recognize what the plug is on the KXV3 aux. antenna board. Can someone tell me what it is (maybe a BNC)? Does anyone know a source of a phono to the mystery connector cable? if not, where can I find the mystery connector? Then I can make a cable. 73, Joe K3 S/N 1713 ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

RE: [Elecraft] Receive antenna connection
The K3's receiver antenna in connector is a BNC connector. You might find an adapter at Radio Shack. You don't need a gold-plated one for this application, but Radio Shack part # 278-303 is a gold BNC to RCA phono adapter. You could fasten that to the K3's back panel and plug an RCA male-to-male connector between your K9AY loop box and this adapter. I have a surplus place in my town that has many odds and ends of cables with various connectors. I'd rummage around one of those places if you have one in your neighborhood. I search around using male BNC female RCA adapter as the search argument and found a fair number of hits. I've never shopped at these places, though. http://www.l-com.com/item.aspx?id=5435 http://www.smarthome.com/7809RB1/BNC-Male-to-RCA-Female-Adapter-2127/p.aspx http://www.shopwiki.com/search/RCA+Female+to+BNC+Male+Adapter http://www.trianglecables.com/200-173.html If you look around you may even find a cable of the appropriate length for your situation that has a male RCA connector on one end for the K9AY loop box and a male BNC on the other for the K3 receive antenna. Or as you say, you can make up a cable. If you're making up your own cable, there are instructions on installing BNC connectors in the ARRL handbook.
