[Elecraft] K1 + Timewave DSP 59+

I'd like to connect the output of my K1 to a Timewave DSP-59+ but have had some difficulty. Tried connecting a 2-pin header plug to the speaker connection on the PC board and hence to the input of the DSP-59+ but regardless of how far I turn up the AF gain on the K1, the DSP fails to indicate

[Elecraft] K-1 RIT Range mod, audio AGC.

Is there a modification to reduce the RIT range on the K-1 to about +- 1KHz? I'd also be grateful to know of a pot suitable for this mod that had a center detent. Or a multi-turn pot that would fit in the allowed space Also, I'm looking for an outboard audio AGC circuit into about a 2 Watt

[Elecraft] K-1 VFO range jump

My K-1 quit (no TX, no RX) a few months ago and am just now getting around to working on it. It is a 2-band kit with 20 and 40 installed. Originally set up for 7.000-@7.060; 14.000-@14.060. I removed and replaced the filter board. RX, TX fine except the range is now 14.047.3 - 14.075.1 and

[Elecraft] Thanks to W3PFR, KK5F

Re: K-1 Frequency jump. Thanks to advice from Don (W3PFR) and Mike (KK5F) I was able to find the problem as a bad connection on the tuning pot. 72, Tim K3HX PS HPE C U in ARCI Summer Homebrew Sprint 07 Jul. www.arci.org

[Elecraft] K-1 RIT range reduction

I'd like to limit the RIT range of my K-1 to about +- 500Hz. Now, it is about +- 3KHz. Advance thanks, 72, Tim 5 Best Diet Pills of 2012 Find out which diet pills tested highest for weight loss. Free report.

[Elecraft] Leaky batteries, portable shortened antennas.

snip I think I'll locate - or fabricate- some thumbscrews (like the KXPD3) so I can more rapidly remove the access cover and lessen the temptation to leave cells in there. 73, Stan WB2LQF An effective but truly inelegant method is to run a screw through a wingnut. You may need to file the

Message: 15 Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2012 20:06:17 -0500 From: Joe K2UF j...@k2uf.com I used my K3 at 1 watt this past spring and summer to work QRP DXCC. Also worked a couple of European stations at .1 watt. Got a QRPp certificate for that. Lots of fun but somewhat challenging. 73 Joe K2UF

[Elecraft] K3 won't shut off, turns on by itself

Please help. Last night my K3 worked perfectly. Power supply voltage 14volts and always shut off after rig. This morning, turned on power supply, k3 turns on by itself. Pushing the power button only blanks the screen, display backlighting stays on. What can cause this, tried unplugging

[Elecraft] K-1 power out vs current draw.

Good folk, In the planning stages for this year's field day which I plan to run QRP from a battery. At 12 vdc, how much power will the K-1 deliver? What is the current draw at 12 vdc. At 13.8 vdc, how much current does the K-1 draw to deliver 5 watts out? How low can the voltage be and still

[Elecraft] WWV-driven station clock

I use a Sky Scan Model #88902 Atomic Clock purchased at Sam's Club. Easily configured to display UTC in 24 hour format. Leading zero suppressed. Also includes an inside - outside thermometer. Large @2 3/8 numerals. Has indicator to show it has been synchronized. Overall @9 high by @11 wide.

[Elecraft] Lead-acid battery question

I use a change-out (every 3 years) automotive battery and the Harbor Freight 42292 float charger on a venerable 3KW Onan generator. Good service, as the generator never fails to start even after many years. The box claims the 42292 will deal with flooded cell or sealed lead-acid batteries. My

[Elecraft] K1 battery recommendations?

I've used a deep-cycle marine battery with my K-1 and had good results but now wish to find something lighter. I've a bunch of individual Li-ion cells and only need the special nickel straps to brew my own lightweight battery pack. I've got access to a cell spot welder and charger. I'd be

[Elecraft] QRQ et al.

SNIP They certainly can. Over means turning it back to you for your reply. Out means No further transmissions from me. In ham jargon it's Back to you for your final and I'm clear. Over and out. 73 de K2ASP SNIP I agree with K2ASP. This was standard net protocol during my tour with the

[Elecraft] LaCrosse Tehcnology UTC Clocks.

WT-8005 cannot be set to UTC. Bought a pair on Amazon. WS-8115U can be set to UTC. Bought another pair on Amazon to replace the ones that didn't do UTC. HI!! I chose this style as the numerals are @1.75 high and easy to read at a distance. 72, Tim K3HX

[Elecraft] LaCrosse Tehcnology UTC Clocks, again.

My experience is that those of the same model number stay in synch. Had a pair of older LaCrosse clocks of identical model number which kept time in synch with each other for years until the POS Ray-O-Vac batteries leaked and messed up things inside both of them. Now have the two latest

[Elecraft] Getting started in QRP.

I'd recommend ARCI.ORG. Been a member for many years. This group sponsors many contests and some have hefty bonuses for homebrew or kit assembled radios. I use my K-1 to operate in these contests to collect the bonuses. They put out a quarterly magazine with activity reports and construction

[Elecraft] K-3 BCB DX setup advice request.

A request for assistance from those K-3 operators on the list who are BCB DX'ers. What filters and settings provide the best results? In particular AGC settings and if anyone uses SSB mode. 72, Tim K3HX How Old Men Tighten Skin

[Elecraft] Marking cables.

I've found the Brother "touch system to be inadequate. The labels fade very quickly in sunlight and fade (albeit much more slowly) indoors. For cables both inside and outside, I prefer coloured tape. Scotch 33 is available in standard colours for this purpose and can be purchased at a real

[Elecraft] OT Rolling loop

You may wish to consider a commercial refrigeration firm. They may have "soft" copper tubing and specialised bending equipment. They may also be able to silver-solder and/or braze connections. Plan "B" (something of a stretch..HI!) A musical instrument repair shop that deals with brass.

[Elecraft] K3S Fundraiser.

Need to thin the herd a bit to make way for a K3S. Want to sell an Orion 1 with antenna tuner and factory accessory speaker. Also has 600 Hz roofing filter and factory-replaced LCD display (blue-white.) Non-smoker (not even tobacco...HI!) I don't "do" e-Bay so am unaware of the value of this

[Elecraft] A little theory.

A long time admirer. For me, his "O ring and a glass of ice water" demonstrationwhich kicked the air out of the NASA gas bags during theChallenger Disaster inquiry was most memorable. A remarkable man. 72, Tim Colbert K3HX 3 Things

[Elecraft] OT: A little theory, again.

t=windows-1252; format=flowed I believe people are confusing Feynman and Sagan. I think it was Carl Sagan who demonstrated the sloppy practices with combination locks and did the Challenger enquiry. I did read some of Feynman's lectures, in high school. -- David Woolley K2 06123 tOn 17/04/17 02:3

[Elecraft] OT: Martian New Years special event station.
