Re: [Elecraft] KX3 - buy without KXAT3?
Mike, I own a KX3 with the internal tuner and another without. The first sees a lot of use /P and on DX trips and the internal ATU means I do not have to even think about it. I tend to use resonant antennas but the odd random wire gets used too. The other I have to be VERY aware that there is no ATU and that means resonant antennas only and I have used it /P a couple of times and I use an Elecraft T1 with it. I never bought the internal one because I had that ATU. It is second nature now to connect the ATU between the KX3 and antenna so and I have one extra short BNC patch lead for just this purpose and a nice velcro strip on the KX3. I plan to use the second KX3 for transverter use mostly where the ATU is redundant. To be honest if you never intend using it 'barefoot' or /P and you can always trust whatever you are driving transverter, PA or antenna then you can get away without it. I would not even think about operating the KX3 without some sort of match to 50 ohms though. Remember that the KX3 has some protection in place anyway if the VSWR is too high it will fold back. You might notice on occasion the KX3 WITH the internal ATU can momentarily on a new band/frequency when tuning it starts at a very high VSWR and a HI CURR message can appear but it drops fast enough towards 1.0 if it can find a match! 72 Dom M1KTA On 20/05/13 04:28, mike wrote: I am getting close to buying a KX3 and want to get my options right.With the KXPA100 coming out soon with an internal tuner, it would seem there is no need to purchase the internal KXAT3 with the KX3.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 - buy without KXAT3?
Mike I thought about that very thing when ordering mine finally decided to order it along with every other option offered. Why cost was very low for a loaded one and resale (not a chance) would be better. What I have found is that the internal tuner is one of the most valuable options offered for the radio. It has given me a chance to start working QRP portable like I had never been able to do in the past so easy. In fact my K3's and K2 along with my other rigs have been seeing idle times here lately. I have 4 100w exciters and 2 amps an Elecraft and an Alpha, so not sure yet if I'm going for the 100w tuner/amp for the KX3. BUTsometimes if it's an Elecraft item it's like an old dog that crawls in and lays down beside you and stays. I'm going to see what the price on the combo tuner/amp will be. Them make a decision. In fact since Jan/13 I am well on my way to QRP/DXCC Phone with the KX3 and countries for regulars DXCC are getting much harder to come by now. If it were anything but an Elecraft tuner I might have passed on it but few can match it for an internal tuner. IMHO a must have option in a KX3 for full enjoyment of the Top QRP rig YMMV. 73, Fred/N0AZZ K3 Ser #'s 6730/5299--KX3 # 2573--K2/100--KAT100 P3/SVGA--KPA500--KAT500--W2 -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of mike Sent: Sunday, May 19, 2013 10:29 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] KX3 - buy without KXAT3?

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Elevated vs. Buried Radials
Exactly. Well, I don't believe in grounding except for safety reasons, because a good rf to earth connection is so difficult to obtain ;-) My believe is that if I am pushing some electrons into the wire, I have to take them from somewhere else (my rig can't create or destroy them), and if there is no obvious counterpoise (or good rf connection to earth turning this huge electron reservoir into a counterpoise) I take them from the TRX's case. So, in my situation, my antenna's two poles are formed by the wire on one end and the trx housing on the other end. My wire has a capacitance to earth and a capacitance to the rig, my rig has a capacitance to earth and by touching the rig I increase the former two of them (but become part of the antenna). A good rf ground would be the best choice (if ground conductivity is high enough so that the capacitance between antenna and ground is not too lossy), but in general I prefer to increase the capacity between antenna wire and counterpoise (because the lossy antenna to ground capacitance becomes less important). Yes, I know putting 1000 sq ft of chicken wire fence onto e arth would be slightly better, but I am a quick and dirty guy ;-) Actually it is something I was always expecting to happen earlier (so no big surprise for me, I immediately knew what to do: touch the rig!) but never happened to me. I have been using this same piece of wire for something like 10 years now, and have used it with a FT817+ ZM2 atu, a K2 + internal atu, and now with the KX3. I was always expecting it to behave differently when using a battery powered rig instead of a rig connected to the power supply. I could not determine a different behaviour with the ZM2, because this thing tunes almost everything with very similar knob settings (so I would not be able to tell) but with high losses due to its high Q in some situations. The K2 could tune this same wire in the same situation even when battery powered and w/o ground. However, the impedance range of the K2 tuner should be higher (I think I noticed from the diagrams it uses larger inductivities, but still have to check), as the K2 with ground can tune the wire on 160 which the KX 3 can't (I don't care because it is a dummy load on 160 anyway). So, if you can't tune 20 mtrs of wire on 10 meg and below, try touching the rig, and then probably follow the manual (or your licence course materials) and connect at least this pedestrian trailing wire to it and don't blame it on the tuner (or Elecraft) ;-) Vy 73 Ralf, DL6OAP Am 19.05.2013 um 23:14 schrieb AG0N-3055 mcduf...@ag0n.net: On Sun, 19 May 2013 22:59:50 +0200, Ralf Wilhelm wrote: Obviously the counterpoise was missing (or in my words the capacitance of the case to ground was not high enough).

Hi Paul, I can see a potential problem here if the monitor is doing double duty as a 2nd screen for a PC and as the external monitor for the P3.

Not too much you can do about that except to bring up the monitor menu and make the adjustment each time. 73, Mike K2MK N5GE wrote Paul, Your monitor should have brightness and contrast controls.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 and SSB
I'm no expert in assembling the K2, but, in RX, the SSB option only uses the additional xtal filter. If SSB sounds like SSB received on AM, my guess would be that the BFO (RF board) is not oscillating. Maybe pulling the crystal to far makes it instable. Is it on both sidebands? Since the K2 switches from a oscillator above rx frequency scheme to a oscillator below rx frequency scheme somewhere, there are possibly bands where USB doesn't work but LSB does work and reverse.

[Elecraft] free
Don't have anything left from Elecraft that is free. I used to have a nice shirt with my name and the serial number of my first K2 on it. They gave it to me for running a booth at the Utah state convention back in 03 if I remember. I guess that means it wasn't free! I have a SteppIR hat that I paid for. I have had a few folks recognize it when out in public and ask if I was a ham. Still, while I've spent a bunch of money with both Elecraft and SteppIR, I don't expect them to give me stuff. Business is business. Every dollar spent on free gifts is a dollar less profit and means more money for the basic products. As for discounts at shows, I suspect having worked many hamfests, that the cost of going to the show exceeds the profits made directly from the show. Its a loss leader but eliminating the cost of shipping back to the factory helps offset some of that loss. Thus, a show discount to move inventory. Want the discount, go to the show, I'm sure you will spend far more getting there than the discount you receive over ordering from the factory. Makes no sense economically for either the consumer or the seller. John ke4d K3/KPA500/SteppIR BigIR/SteppIR 2 element beam.

Re: [Elecraft] SVGA brightness (K3)
To get the best contrast on the waterfall display set the REF LVL so that the noise level is right at the bottom of the spectrum display. And then adjust the SCALE to make the signals higher on the display. The waterfall and spectrum use the same REF LVL and SCALE values, so the more the SCALE is turned up the greater the contrast on the waterfall.

Re: [Elecraft] SVGA brightness (K3)
Hi Paul, That's easier to fix. You must have the waterfall colors set to gray scale. Press the P3 menu button and turn the knob until you see Wfall Clr. Then press the knob and turn it to Default Colors. Press the knob again and you should be good to go. 73, Mike K2MK KC2NYU wrote Tnx for all the responses. I may have poorly stated my question.

Re: [Elecraft] K3/0 Question
Tony, I am still groggy from the return flight from Dayton, but will try to write a coherent answer: The RRC has only an ethernet port. You can add an optional internal WLAN card, but that won't solve the problem of having to click on a web page to access the internet. Of course, as you suspected, the ethernet port won't work in that situation as well. The answer is an external WLAN bridge such as the Netgear WNCE2001 if you need to access that way. The bridge is first booked into the network using a PC/Mac, then moved over to the RRC. The disadvantage is that only that single device can be used to access the network if you need to pay for the service, otherwise you would have to pay again for a PC, etc. This is because a network (Radius server) uses the MAC address of the device for authentication. Another solution would be a pocket router/bridge that provides an ethernet port, as well as WLAN. This device books into the network and allows multiple devices to use your bridge to utilize one single (possibly paid) connection. There are several on the market that meet this need. The other method is to book into the network using WLAN on your PC/Mac and share the ethernet port on it, in which the RRC is plugged into. This is the cheapest method, since no extra hardware is required. Downside: it can be tricky to implement in some Windows versions, plus sometimes (depending again on O/S, etc.) you may be able to only share that single ethernet port, leaving further devices that you may have along without access. Further information can be found at the RemoteRig forum web site at: http://www.remoterig.com/forum/index.php using the search function. Let me know if you have any further questions. 73, Mitch DJ0QN On 20.05.2013 04:08, N2TK, Tony wrote: What about when you are trying to log on from a hotel that requires a log-on procedure?

Re: [Elecraft] K2 and SSB
Hi, Christophe and Don, There is a point I don't understand: The K2 switches to VFO below rx frequency on 15 and above (main manual page 85) thus resulting in sideband inversion. So, if Christophe can receive USB on 15, shouldn't that mean that the BFO is properly set for LSB reception on 17 and below? If he can also receive USB on 20, shouldn't that mean that both BFO settings are ok?

Most OS driver software for video includes the settings you want to make. So setting the monitor for the P3 and the driver for the monitor in computer mode is certainly doable. Rick wa6nhc -Original Message- From: Mike K2MK Hi Paul, I can see a potential problem here if the monitor is doing double duty as a 2nd screen for a PC and as the external monitor for the P3. The desired brightness and contrast settings for PC use might be different than those desired for P3 use. Not too much you can do about that except to bring up the monitor menu and make the adjustment each time. 73, Mike K2MK __ 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
[Elecraft] Dayton
We arrived home at 2:30am after traveling 16-hours, yesterday. It took us 5-hours by road to drive from Dayton Saturday evening to Detroit airport (motel). WE were delayed about an hour in Minneapolis when rain shutdown the airport (no tornado's). Janet stated that after boiling in the sun all day Friday and drowning in the downpour Saturday morning I could leave her home next time. 80+ temps with 90% humidity is too much for us northerners. Nice sunny 43 and 30% here at home, today. I visited the Elecraft booth twice, once near noon Friday, and again on Saturday. They were busy! I was with Sam-G4DDK who had pre-ordered parts for his K3 so got to watch the crowd and Elecraft action. I was told there were no hats left, but it did appear that hats and KX3 buttons were given to purchasers at that point in time (or maybe sold- could not tell). Sam agreed we both traveled about 4,000 miles to get to Dayton. Apparently lots of sales as I saw many hats being worn. Janet sold about a third of her Dubus books. WE were at the No. Texas Microwave Society flea market space and that was not enough draw to sell all the books. WE do better at the VHF conferences. My amplifier got little notice and maybe five brochures picked up. There is so much to look at at Dayton, it was swallowed up in the clutter. We're not likely to return to Dayton considering the expense of travel. WE had to ship the remaining books to Alaska as there was no room in our bags. I took my step-son Andy, KB0MLT, around the exhibits for two hours on Saturday and he picked up a dual-band HT he wanted. I showed him the Elecraft displays. Looked at the new KXPA100 (no price listed). My only purchase was a Peet wx station (around the corner from the Elecraft booth). We had fun and my wife and I enjoyed the time spent with her son and wife. We spent four days in MI before Dayton visiting my sisters and mom, who is in assisted living, but glad to be home. Back to work, tomorrow. 73, Ed - KL7UW Also ran into many VHF, mw and eme friends. __ 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] K2 and SSB
Ralf and Christophe, Yes, what you say is true, but the answer is still in the filter alignment. All the SSB filters should be aligned - AND - in many (most) K2s built in the last several years, the suggested settings for the SSB filters other than the OP1 BFOs do not work well. That is because the varactors have changed (the type has not changed, but the capacity range has increased - blame the manufacturer!). The result of this varactor variation is that the filter width displayed by the K2 is usually much more narrow than the actual width (not true for the OP1 filter which has no varactors). I do not know of any way to easily find the actual width of the filter other than using an audio spectrum analyzer like Spectrogram. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/20/2013 1:25 PM, Ralf Wilhelm wrote: Hi, Christophe and Don, There is a point I don't understand: The K2 switches to VFO below rx frequency on 15 and above (main manual page 85) thus resulting in sideband inversion.

I'm ready to install a W3PFR/N0SS fixed audio out amp; however, a single, slip-over connector for the microphone configuration header is needed to bring the output to the mic connector. The header pins look a lot like large, wire-wrap pins, but I'm not sure. The audio board is going on the control board a la N6TQS, so the header connection needs to slip off. Does anyone have a suggested part number, or, better yet, have one they could spare?

Re: [Elecraft] Connector for K2 Mic. Config. header
Chris, I use one of the computer 2 pin jumpers - try to find one with an open slot at the top. Solder the wire to the center of the exposed top metal. Plug one side of that jumper onto the Mic Configuration Header using an unused pin. If you use the Elecraft pinout, the Func pin has no function, so plug it onto the mic jack side of pin 5. Use a wire that is long enough to lift the Control Board and reach the mic configuration header and attach/detach the connector. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/20/2013 5:36 PM, Chris Kimball wrote: I'm ready to install a W3PFR/N0SS fixed audio out amp; however, a single, slip-over connector for the microphone configuration header is needed to bring the output to the mic connector.

[Elecraft] KX3 SSB average talk power dramatically improved -- need testers
Hi all, As promised, we've been working on the KX3's speech compression algorithm. We now have a field-test firmware release that shows dramatic improvement in average talk power while still putting out a very clean, splatter-free signal. If you'd like to test the new firmware, please email me directly. 73, Wayne N6KR __ 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

From what I see on the Elecraft web site, the Remoterig modem uses a serial connection with a K3. If you have the K3 hooked up to a P3 and/or computer for home station use, do you use a serial A/B switch or some other method to switch it to use as a remote station terminal?

[Elecraft] magnetic loop antennas
I saw the great writeup on the magnetic loop antenna and the inventive High Voltage capacitor for tuning the thing. I'm looking at one of them strictly because I'm stuck in an apartment. The fact it should be good for 100 watts is perfect for what I'm looking at buying. I'm just wondering about the copper pipe used for the outer loop... I spotted some very reasonably priced flexible conduit that could be used for the loop proper. Do what is necessary to bond the capacitor into the rig, and it would appear to be a reasonable alternative to the rather pricy copper pipe.

Re: [Elecraft] magnetic loop antennas
I googled 'flexible conduit' and what I see looks like BX cable -- made out of a single flat piece of metal wrapped in a spiral shape. If this is what you are talking about, it would be AWFUL for this purpose -- it would have a very high RF resistance and so be very inefficient. There are very high currents in the loop and you have to keep the resistance at RF as low as possible -- that's why large-diameter copper tubing is good.

Re: [Elecraft] magnetic loop antennas
Loop can work well in an apartment. Good to know what is in/behind walls if possible. Voltages and field strengths can be very high so care is in order. Resistance in loop increases losses. With respect to copper versus less expansive materials. You get what you pay for. 73 es GL KL7JT On May 20, 2013, at 9:43 PM, Bill Blomgren billb...@nc.rr.com wrote: I saw the great writeup on the magnetic loop antenna and the inventive High Voltage capacitor for tuning the thing.

Re: [Elecraft] magnetic loop antennas
As an alternative to copper pipe, you might consider copper foil. RF flows along the surface of the conductor so it matters little how thick it is. You might take something like PVC tubing, form it into the required loop, and cover it with copper foil. Just be sure you use a single piece so you don't have to splice it anywhere around the loop that would require the RF currents to cross the splice. You might get away with a soldered seam running all the way around the loop but I suspect the solder wouldn't do anything. Just be sure the copper overlaps along the edge. Use tape or ty-wraps to secure the copper. Next to the ohmic losses in the loop itself, the majority of losses in loops is in the junctions connecting the loop to the capacitor and in the capacitor itself if it has a sliding contact to the rotor. 73, Ron AC7AC -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Vic K2VCO Sent: Monday, May 20, 2013 7:07 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] magnetic loop antennas I googled 'flexible conduit' and what I see looks like BX cable -- made out of a single flat piece of metal wrapped in a spiral shape.

Re: [Elecraft] K3's in P5 (N. Korea)?
There is very good reason that they would not consider 6 meter operations: it isn't an efficient use of operating time for the most wanted DXCC entity on Earth. For every minute used trying to make a few contacts on 6 meters, the group could make dozens or hundreds of contacts on other bands. Remember, this is the only entity a lot of people need to be #1 on the DXCC Honor Roll. I wouldn't even think about trying to work 6 meters, just as I would forgo digital or RTTY operations. I know it's normal to want an expedition to feature our favorite bands or modes, but everyone needs P5, so they should concentrate on the two modes most everyone uses: CW and SSB. To do otherwise would essentially deny people contacts. 73, Scott, N9AA On 5/20/13 6:57 PM, Lance Collister, W7GJ wrote: Yes, K3's would be a great choice, since they are digital-ready and have 6m ;-) The only problem is that they already said they have no interest in even trying anything on 6m :-( What a shame!

Re: [Elecraft] magnetic loop antennas

Re: [Elecraft] Win4K3 Suite
Just a bit of an update...the first version has gone out to the beta testers. But the real news is that I have now a full remote solution with a TCPIP server that connects to the K3 and P3 as well as the KPA500. The video streaming option now is in place and works quite well streaming the P3 video over a network or the internet. An interesting side effect I just noticed tonight. You can connect more than one computer to the K3,P3 and KPA simultaneously through the TCPIP server. All computers can control and get all updates simultaneously. A question for the contesting experts: Someone contacted me about having the radio used by more than one person at a time at a contest station in Italy.. At the time, I didn't think much about it, but now with the TCPIP server, it seems to be interesting. One could for example, have two PC,s with two operators at least for listening. Anyone have any other ideas or comments? The full feature set will be described on my web sit tomorrow or wednesday.
