Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net announcement
Good Morning Kevin, Don't give up on 40m propagation yet !! Last night (Saturday) stateside signals were very strong (East coast to Central states) exchanging Party reports. There were some West coast signals later, weak but readable when in the clear. Heavy RTTY QRM 7.025 up. I had been experimenting with a new antenna phasing system until dark with much more to do, so all this heard with a mismatched, mismanaged antenna firing who knows where. Did not transmit in case I blew up a balun. The problem here with the ECN / QRP frequency 7.040 +- is RTTY, Letter Station and SSB QRM. K2 sweats! 73, Geoff.

Hopefully propagation will allow me to get past the Rocky Mountains and at least in to the plains states. Ohio and Pennsylvania are to be hoped for but may be possible. My sked into OK was mostly good this week but working down to ABQ was a struggle at times. We did enter a few streams of particles from the sun giving us a bit higher noise level but just makes life a bit more interesting copying S1 sigs with an S3 noise level! But in a couple of years the down years of the solar cycle will just be a memory and we will be working Eastern Europe and New Zealand with no difficulties. ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] Re: KPA100 question
Hi, Just my 2c worth..in the days before the stray oscillation that occurred in *some* KPA100's was found and a fix presented, I was advised by Gary to try mounting my C83 on the *TOP* of the ends of the 1 and 3 winding of T2, and it is still there lying parallel with the PC board, so having it slightly off vertical in the suggested position shouldn't matter a fig I imagine. Putting the 1k resistor across RFC3 fixed the oscillation problem, and I never bothered to put C83 back in it's proper place. My KPA100 works fine.

[Elecraft] Long Wave Transmitters
Many thanks to all who responded to my query on this topic. Several asked that I forward a summary of the replies to the list, so here goes. There is a quite detailed description of the WWVB 60 kHz transmitter at Fort Collins, CO at the site below. Their ERP is 50 kW. This power level is a bit lower than the highest power AM broadcast stations in the US (50 kW into a near half-wave vertical). I've never heard them in Chicago (roughly 1,000 mile path and a pretty high noise level), but my el-cheapo digital clock is able to synchronize to them. http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwvb.htm All of the WWV HF transmitters run 10 kW into half-wave verticals that are one half-wave above ground. See http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwv.html The WWVH HF transmitters (Hawaii) are comparable, except that most are directional to the west (two vertical towers phased to produce a cardioid pattern. http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwvh.htm European long wave broadcasters use transmitters ranging from about 200 kW to 3MW. Most antennas are 1/4 wave or less, but some use phased arrays. The BBC station on 198 kHz, for example, runs 500 kW, at least one French station runs 2 MW, as do some stations in Eastern Europe. Long wave transmitters are able to cover long distances by ground wave, because ground losses are much lower. It is well known, for example, that 5 kW on 540 kHz has much more ground wave field strength at 100 miles than 50 kW on 1590 kHz over average soil. = = = = = = Norm, W1ITT wrote; I'm not a member of the Topband group...but I lurk and read. I don't know of any databases in particular, but about a year ago I was in Romania upgrading MW facilities, and was also involved with the 153 khz station in Bod, just down the road from Dracula's castle. We were subcontracting for Harris Broadcast out of Quincy, Illinois. They may have field contour info, but the transmitter is a 400 kw into an interesting array that was two towers, both series fed in phase, with a multiwire flattop connecting the tops of the two towers. We supplied a new L- network matching unit for that particular site. I'm not sure who you might talk to at Harris, but John Hall was project manager. He's not an engineer but he has friends who are, and if they aren't too busy they might have access to the info you're looking for. Longwave is nifty in eastern Europe. I rented a Land Rover and it had a LW,MW and FM radio in it. I was able to receive Bod anywhere I went in Romania. The story I heard was that the government liked to maintain the LW station so that Romanian sailors in the Black Sea could get a taste of home entertainment. Seems to me there was another 153 khz in Germany that I occasionally heard cochannel when I was up the Satu Mare area in NW Romania. Others from western Europe were listenable up around 240 or so. = = = = = Peter McGuire of Cadac Electronics, sent these excellent links re: long wave in the UK: http://www.bbc.co.uk/reception/transmitters/radio_trans/medium_long_wave.shtml http://tx.mb21.co.uk/gallery/droitwich/droitwich-lf-data.asp http://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/sites/r/rugby_radio/index.shtml And this one that lists time standard transmitters: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/lf-clocks.html Any further comments will be appreciated, but because this discussion is pretty far off topic, please reply directly to me, not to the list.

[Elecraft] Tuning Knobs
Hello, Fellow Elecrafters: I recently decided to upgrade the tuning knob on my K1. I purchased several different knobs and have a few spares, if anyone is interested. I have the Alinco DX-70T main tuning knob. It has a skirt diameter of 1-5/16 and is weighted, with a brass insert. It also has knurling around the edge for a nice feel. If you like, I can drill out the brass insert to 1/4. Price is $15, including postage. I also 2 of the main tuning knobs for the Alinco DX-77T. This knob is larger, with a skirt diameter of 1-15/16 (just under 2). It is cast metal and heavy weighted and has the finger dimple and knurling. It is designed to go on a keyed shaft (with the flat edge), but I believe it could be adapted easily to fit a round shaft. It's too large for the K1 (IMO), but could work with the K2 (?) or others. Price is $20 each, including postage. You can see these knobs on www.rigpix.com. Please contact me off list. 73, Jim K5HO - Nunquam Secundum ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

[Elecraft] FYI: Nice LCD Display Modules
Thought I would share this... came across some nice LCD display modules (voltage, temp, elapsed time, etc.) while looking for something to add to my AA UC3906 Charger for charge monitoring. You can get big LED displays modules on eBay for $10, and these are certainly not cheap, but they are small, low profile, low current (3ma) and the voltage display only requires two wires, and best of all the mounting is done through only one small hole. I was able to easily add one to the front of my charger despite the tight clearances with the internal transformer: http://www.marteltesttools.com/products.php?cat=113action=detailid=69 With FD coming up, if you wanted a small display for battery or solar monitoring, etc, these seem to work very well.

Re: [Elecraft] Re: KPA100 question
Hi Rob, Your problem sound a bit different. What was happening on quite a few earlier KPA100's was the diodes in the switching circuit were providing enough capacitance to cause a tuned circuit with RFC3 and that circuit would break into oscillation and modulate the carrier with a spurious signal. The resulting signal then had nasty sidebands and I used to get accused of Splatter. It used to occur at powers above about 80w. mainly. The fix was to dampen RFC3 with a 1k resistor as well as a resistor change in the high voltage bias supply to make sure the HV supply didn't drop too low on demand. The changes are outlined in the K2/100 Manual ( Appendix G) ERRATA rev. C-3, December 14, 2004. ( steps 1 and 3 ) which is obtainable off the Elecraft Web site. Hope this helps? Cheers...Ron ZL1TW At 07:20 AM 4/24/2005 -0700, you wrote: What are the symptoms of the oscillation? My KPA100 sometimes loses connectivity with the K2 and the communications between them is lost.

Hello All, K2 SN 4836 is alive and k(l)icking. After I had some trouble with the receiver (installed a resistor on the wrong place on the control board AND forgot to install the series capacitor from the VCO to the RX mixer) I got help of Don Wilhelm (W3FPR). All have been sorted out and seems to work. I didn't install all options yet, but made my first CW QSO with the K2. It seems that I still have to align the filters with Spectran but that will be done soon. I didn't do any comparison yet with my Drake TR7 and Yen-Tec Paragon, but I'll let you know all in a couple off weeks. Thanks for info, help (thanks Don) and the designers.

(Or at least with a s/n 3000). Some pitch variation is normal. The digital circuits that reset the BFO frequency to that set up during CAL FIL have a resolution, or accuracy, that allows perhaps 20 or 30 Hz. However, it is generally stable from day to day. Older K2's had a BFO that drifted more than the current ones. The BFO, like any oscillator designed to change frequency, tries to change frequency on its own, usually in response to temperature changes. You may be experiencing some BFO drift if the degree if change when stepping through the filters varies from time to time. The drift issue with the older K2's was cured with a mod kit from Elecraft. The normal method of reducing the filter-to-filter variation to the minimum possible - assuming no BFO drift - is to force the K2 logic to re-read the BFO frequencies. You do that by putting the calibrator probe in the BFO test point like you did when running spectrogram, go into CAL FIL, and then change each BFO frequency setting to and different value, then put it back where it was. That movement causes the logic to re-read the BFO frequency and store a new, hopefully more accurate, value in memory. One thing to keep in mind is that you can *not* tweak the frequencies in CAL FIL while listening to a signal on the air. Only have noise in the bandpass. That's because the BFO and Local Oscillator (PLL Oscillator) frequencies interact to make changing the BFO frequency appear to make the I.F. bandpass move. There a good write-up on that on the Elecraft web site called The Mechanics Behind CAL FIL.

RE: [Elecraft] crystal filter pitch differences
Tom, If the pitch difference is 20 Hz or less, you have hit the 'best you can do' point. The DAC quantization error is about that size. Some folks claim that you can use techniques like modifying the filter width a bit to cure it, but I have never tried it, and for my purposes, it is just not worth it - after all a shift of only 20 Hz, while perhaps disconcerting, will still be well inside the passband (assuming you have the narrow filters properly contered on you sidetone and you are tuned to zero-beat). If you have a large shift, then there is something awry with either the K2 or the way you are interpreting the Spectrogram display. 73, Don W3FPR -Original Message- Hello to all.

[Elecraft] Should I get a KDSP2?
Hi All, Ok, I know I've said this before, but I am now _really_ getting ready to upgrade my K2 (#402). Honestly, I don’t know how it could be better, but others have said so. My K2 acquitted itself in the last Foxhunt, and I haven't had a lick of trouble with this thing in, what, 5 years, I guess. So besides ordering all the mods, I am now trying to determine whether the KDSP2 can really help me. My only experience with audio DSP was an MFJ 784B and I can honestly say that after many hours of testing it, that when using it, it never got me a contact that I could have gotten without it. But this analysis was done with a KNWD TS-850 with a 270 Hz IF filter. The TS-850 filtering was so inferior to the K2 that I sold it. Understand that when I used the 784B and the TS-850, it was for in-the-mud QRP signals in the early days of the QRP Foxhunts. The very worst workable weak QRM'd 40 meter signals imaginable. So maybe a DSP works better with stronger signals but then I wouldn't need a DSP. So if I am looking for help for improving intelligibility for these kind of contacts, perhaps DSP noise reduction might not be that effective, but what about narrowing the bandwidth? I typically use the K2 at 100 Hz wide setting which seems to be a good approximately 175 Hz wide filter to me, much better than the 270 Hz on the TS-850. But if the signals were in the mud (at about the noise level), would it help me copy more characters? Would the KAF2 be just as effective? Or since I like the rig, should I just do the A to B revision mods for now? Eventually I hope to get the 100 W tuner and amp in the separate enclosure, and do some traffic handling work (and Heaven forbid - actually use a microphone). The KDSP2 might actually help with this. Any advice is appreciated. Confused in Corpus Christi, Steve Pituch, W2MY -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Re: [Elecraft] crystal filter pitch differences
Tom: You're never going to get rid of some small pitch change: 10-20Hz is within the resolution of the D2A conversion. It is something you can learn quite easily to live with, if you will allow yourself. It is something that will drive you crazy if you won't allow yourself. Because the pitch shift is really and truly inconsequential, allow me to suggest you do yourself a favor, and forget it. best wishes, dave belsley, w1euy On Apr 24, 2005, at 5:16 PM, tom wrote: Hello to all.
