Re: [Elecraft] K3: Remote Control Questions
Maybe option to stop TX unless keepalive CAT command received in the last x seconds. While sending the software could send a keepalive message, maybe (for much later) power down radio as well (assumption is that internet connection lost). Also the ability to disable TX via a hardware jumper - radio can be made available for anyone to use for receiving but without the ability to transmit. Later enable/disable transmit via passwords (for the radio administrator). Simon Brown, HB9DRV - Original Message - From: wayne burdick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Menu entry; max timeout still TBD.

[Elecraft] Up- and Downgrading the K3

In this class no secondary RXs are allowed, so to legalize the K3, the KRX3 would need to be removed. A major open heart operation?

[Elecraft] K2, K60XV
Hi Elecrafters I'm very very happy at the moment with my new K2 100 serial 05877, worked loads of stations and having fun /P also. I have all I need now in this radio. This weekend I built and installed the K60XV 5MHz unit and this morning 0830hrs local time, I'm tuned into 5.290.00MHz monitoring GB3ORK, UK beacon in Orkney, north of Scotland, some 900 plus miles North of my qth NR London. I thought I would like to mention that in RadCom magazine this month the UK, 5MHz working group has suggested a frequency of 5.289.00 or 5.291.00MHz for CW working. The beacon frequency on 5.290.00 should be kept clear for monitoring etc. More info can be found in the United Kingdom by looking at the link below. The UK beacons are GB3RAL, GB3WES, GB3ORK.

I don't think that price alone will be the deciding factor between these two rigs for most folks. Craig, our goal is to create the highest-performance panadapter available. This project will be kicked off soon, and we may see it by the end of the year. There will be a lot of debate about the display in a panadapter or bandscope. Size, cost, color (Orion I), and resolution all will be a factor. My opinion is, don't put one in or at least have a model available without one. LCD displays are so plentiful these days and many have one or more in the shack already. Make the panadapter or bandscope available with just a VGA output.

Re: [Elecraft] Re: roofing filter loss and method of compensation
KK7P: With the IF DSP in the K3, the issues that are of concern in a fully analog radio are less important. As long as the crystal filter, which is being used as a roofing filter, has reasonably good skirts and ultimate rejection, the DSP will take care of the rest. The first 20 dB or so of skirt selectivity, the passband ripple, and the ultimate rejection at the DSP IF image frequency are the most critical factors. Below W2VJN (ex-Inrad) says the first ~30 dB of skirt selectivity is key for IMD issues. It will be important for you to specify actual IMD and BDR performance with each of the various CW filters installed. So far I count 4 that are 500 Hz or less, not counting the variable BW option. I hope you can post this information soon so that those planning to order will have information to properly configure a unit. 73, Bill W4ZV http://www.qth.com/inrad/roofing-filters.pdf (page 6) 5. If 6 poles work so well, why not 8 poles? The most important part of the filter characteristic is from the pass-band on down to about 30 dB on either side of center. Eight poles would provide much better stop-band isolation, but its not required in a roofing filter and would make no noticeable improvement in IMD performance. ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

I may even drop it to 3 minutes since most of my transmitting is for dx or contests which require short transmissions. If the transmitter drops out due to the timer, it needs to reset itself so one can transmit again without having to reset the rig. Thanks for listening/inquiring Wayne.

[Elecraft] K3
A question, a suggestion, and a coupla comments: Am I correct in assuming that you need to order the KXV3 Xverter interface in order to get the RX ANT input? Please provide the capability to disable transmitting on the 2nd Antenna, to allow the possibility of using a second rx antenna. Comments based on 4 years of Orion useage: 1. In the Orion, the 600hz 4-pole xtal roofing filter is all that is needed for cw ahead of the dsp, in even the toughest conditions (160M cw contests) with adjacent s9++ signals and tightest selectivity settings. Not sure if this will hold true for the K3, but it should be predictable based on the dynamic range downstream. 2. I NEVER use the Hi/Lo Cut controls (in favor of Width/PBT-Shift) and not sure that anyone else does. 73, Barry N1EU ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Bruce, Use a drill bit's tip as a countersink tool? Oh dear! There are real countersink tools available that will produce nice, even countersinking. Inquire at a machine-tool supplier. They come in a variety of sizes amd have a smooth conical tip with a single round hole forming the cutting surface. The drill bit idea, unless done very carefully by hand, is certain to produce three-cornered countersinking.

[Elecraft] Am I the 1st Aussie order ?
Just placed my order for the K3, it will be some time before the HPSDR project produces a fully operational HF radio and I cant wait, I want the best now ! I love my K2 but it does have operational limitations and I can see the K3 will be so much easier to operate. One thing I dislike immensely about my K2 is the receive audio from the speaker, or even an external speaker. I use a Sansui HiFi amp to improve things here, will the K3 have better rx audio? I'm an SSB operator 99% of the time with digital modes sometimes, but the K2 is soo far behind my OmniVI opt 3 that I sometimes dread listening to it. Hopefully this will be addressed in the K3 so I will take my chances !

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Configuration Questions
1. Is the RX antenna input for 160-6m a standard part of the K3 or is a KXV3 also required? The RX in and RX Out jacks are part of the KXV3 option. 2. Is a KAT3 required for a 2nd TX antenna input? The KAT3 has two antenna jacks. The K3 without a KAT3 has one. 5. Are there any options that must be installed simultaneously or can all be added later? Options can be added in any order. Options that must be combined are usually supplied combined. For example, the subreceiver option includes the subreceiver itself, as well as a second DSP board. These two items are only available as a single option. 73, Lyle KK7P ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

RE: [Elecraft] K2 - Countersunk Screws?
I did that about a year ago, works fine. I ordered a bunch of different screws from Lisa (the one that goes underside the VFO knob, to lock down the multiturn pot) and then did the job of cautiously 'drilling' the sink-angles. The body DOES get a little weaker this way, but it's still fine because there's many screws to do the job.

[Elecraft] K2 backward compatability
The new K3 sounds great but for now I will be completing my K2 station. So I am looking for continued upgrades and options for the K2, as well as eventual upgrade path to a K3 in a year or two. Will there be any K3 options that might become useful with a K2 station? My main interest here is in outboard amplifiers for digital modes (sound like K3 100 watt unit may have better cooling, allowing higher power levels in high duty-cycle modes).

Re: [Elecraft] Question about K3 firmware
(I assum the DSP is programmed down to the silicon). I've had several private questions about the DSP. I'll combine the information and make it public here :-) The K3's DSP is a Texas Instruments TMS320VC33-150 embedded DSP, not a PC CPU from Intel or AMD or VIA. There is one DSP chip per receiver; the subreceiver option includes a PC board assembly incorporating the second DSP. The TMS320VC33 is a 32-bit, floating point processor that we chose for its performance, low power consumption, and the fact it has been in the marketplace long enough to have a completely functional silicon along with a development tool suite that is stable. The DSP firmware is written in assembly language, and is original. It does not borrow from any GPL'ed sources or use any commercial function libraries. It does not run on a formal operating system. Much of the DSP peripheral support hardware is contained in a flash-based programmable logic device. This enables us to connect a very high performance 24-bit A/D converter for the receiver IF, two more channels of greater-than 16-bit A/D for microphone and PC input, and several more channels of less-than 16-bit A/D for more mundane things like forward and reflected power, upstream signal level detection, and so forth. It also connects six D/A channels, lets the DSP check some digital I/O lines (e.g., to support true FSK generation) -- and to communicate with the control processor! Oh, and it enables the DSP's Flash memory to be programmed by the user :-) 73, Lyle KK7P ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] Re: K2 backward compatability
Tom, The KPA800/1500 amplifiers will work with any rig, including the K2 and K3. These have been delayed because of the K3 release, but we'll keep everyone informed of progress. We plan an external speaker/power supply unit for the K3 someday, as well as a panadapter, and these would all work with the K2. The K2 may benefit from some of the K3's hardware and firmware, someday, but I can't predict when/if. 73, Wayne N6KR On Apr 30, 2007, at 8:06 AM, Tom Zeltwanger wrote: The new K3 sounds great but for now I will be completing my K2 station.

[Elecraft] K3/100 duty cycle?

[Elecraft] K3 query
This may have already been mentioned, but in case it wasn't In the K2, there were/are some issues for those of us who wish to operate the radio with their transverters, on CW, in the PTT mode instead of break-in. I think I recall that the problem stemmed from several things competing for time on one of the ICs which control timing of events etc. As it is, if you close the push to talk line, you are not just in TX mode, you are transmitting CW, thereby rendering useless any sequencing you may have in line. Don, W3FPR, came up with a workaround, which I have been using on VHF/UHF. I am hopeful that this issue has been addressed in the K3?? 73, Dick, K5AND ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] Re: KAT3 Question
Does the 2:1 capability at 100W output also apply to 6M? If not, what will it match on 6M at 100W? At what SWR does the protection (automatic power reduction) kick in? Is this different on different bands? What about 6M? (Do I sound like a broken record?) Bill / W5WVO PS - I don't think I've ever seen any other tuner advertisement/brochure etc that owns up to the fact that SWR and power combine to limit the ability of the tuner to match a load. Though this is obvious to anybody who understands what SWR is, it probably isn't at all obvious to the majority of hams. Kudos for being technically honest! wayne burdick wrote: Yes. But the maximum load SWR that can be handled will depend on the power level, just as with other tuners. At 10 watts, the tuner will match even some 20:1 loads. At 100 watts, it's likely to be 2:1. 73, Wayne N6KR On Apr 30, 2007, at 9:15 AM, Lou Roux wrote: Will the KAT3 have similar specs as the KAT100, specifically will it match 10:1 SWR loads?

[Elecraft] Countersinking screws
Countersinking screws in a home shop without the proper tools can be frustrating...If you have a drill press and can securely clamp the panel so that it cannot wander, you might succeed...Even so, the bit itself can flex and chatter, resulting in a triangular hole...Feeding the bit into the cut very slowly helps, but it is no guarantee that it will not chatter... It is next to impossible to countersink holes using a hand held drill motor even if the panel is clamped in a vise...The cutting angle of twist drills is not necessarily uniform...It depends on the hardness of the material they were intended to drill into...Bits bought from surplus clearing houses are sometimes sharpened to odd angles... In industry, countersinks have a smooth pilot-pin protruding from the center of the cutter that is the same size as the screw hole...The pilot bears against the sides of the hole and keeps the countersink from wandering...These tools have from 4 to 6 cutting edges, resulting in smooth cutting...Twist drills only have 2 cutting edges and no pilot and this causes chatter...These countersinks have a built in adjustable depth controlling device...If you do not cut deep enough, the screw will protrude above the panel...If you cut too deep, the screw will seat below the surface of the panel and you will have a silver ring of bare metal showing all around the screw head... I would not advise trying to countersink the screws in your prized K-2 unless you have the tools and the skills...

[Elecraft] Re: K3 Suggestions
Thanks for the reply Wayne! I like most of what I've read (haven't dived really deep into it). After some housecleaning (read sell-off of non used junk), I anticipate buying a K3 this Fall, with several options. Still cheaper, with filters and options, than anything else on the market with similar specs... I enjoyed building all my K2 stuff, and to some degree will miss the board stuffing and such. On the other hand, after building the relatively simple micro908 antenna analyzer (with larger SM devices), I don't have the time to do a full blown SM kit. I have to think this would be an 80+ hour job. Fun if you have the time and space to do the work undisturbed, but no so if you don't... The semi-kit form sounds like we can still have some hands on, yet attract folks who aren't real kit builders AND maybe they will say Hey! This is fun! and want to do a K1 or K2 in the future. All in all, win/win IMHO... I spread the news to the TCG (some of whom are still chomping at the bit for Elecraft Amps). Thanks for listening!

That is a no go - the CW SSB FDs here in DL have umpires, who drive around checking that the antennas, distance to the next building, distance to the power grid, rigs etc. are compliant with the rules. If the rules say no secondary RX then that means NO secondary RX. For example you could not legally use the Orion in the limited class. These FDs are very important to our local club as part of the german club championship, i.e. we can not afford to even bend the rules too far. vy 73 de toby - Original Message - From: Lyle Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Monday, April 30, 2007 5:07 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Up- and Downgrading the K3 For example a K3 with subreceiver would not be a legal TRX for the IARU Region 1 FD in the limited class.

[Elecraft] K3 order
If I place an order with 50% payment now so I can get mine in July (if you have any left), can I add filters to that order once I've figured out what I need. If I added up the cost of filters etc and paid 50% of that as well? Hell, I might pay the whole lot. I'm relatively new ham, was considering the K2, but don't have a lot of time to build, so have be looking to go to FT-2000. Looks like the K3 will beat that, is more upgradeable in future and an Elecraft - MAGIC! Many of my fellow club members have K2's and swear they are the best, so I feel like I'd be in good hands.

[Elecraft] FW: K2/100, KAT100-1 and extras for Sale
Updated as a number of people has me to set an asking price. Total package cost me with upgrades and what-not over $1800.00. So I'll set an asking price of $1450.00 with shipping and insurance included to the lower 48 states. Im entertaining offers for my K2 in order to justify buying a K3. K2 S# 3075, professionally built. Includes KPA 100, KNB2, KSB2, K160RX , MH2, KDSP2, FDIMP and KAT100-1. Rig has been upgraded to PLL temp compensated upgrade kit. Professionally aligned using IFR1200S and spectrogram (including RTTY filters for PSK and digital modes) All manuals and documentation included. As a bonus included will be XG2 Signal Generator and DL1 20 watt dummy load. All in mint condition, great rig hate to get rid of it but the XYL says if I want a K3 I cant have both. (After she gets over it, Ill probably order a new K2 just for something to build and to give me a portable rig.)

[Elecraft] K3 real time clock - backup battery?
The K3 has a very versatile real-time-clock chip that runs when the rig is off. It draws about 3 microamps as I recall. If you have an alarm set, it will wake up the radio at the appointed time. Is there some form of backup while its off the main power, like being carried to a field location? I'm reading the archives, having rejoined the reflector just to read about and decide on a K3, so forgive me if I missed this. K2 - 2nd highest mountain in the world (and a rig).

[Elecraft] How do you travel with the K2?
It's mighty quite around here all of a sudden. I'll be taking the K2 with me and the family on vacation this summer. I'm trying to come up with a good way to package the rig for the flight. I've never traveled with a radio before. I'll be taking the K2, KAT100-1, MFJ-4225MV (I know, but it seems to be a fairly decent little power supply), headset/mic, bencher paddles, cables, wire, some tools, etc. My first thought was to give everything a good bubble wrapping and put it all in a sturdy (hard shell) suitcase and be done with it. But I can't treat my K2 that way. I'm thinking the best solution (within reason) would be to buy a Pelican 1650 with the pluck foam and make a nice cubby hole in the foam for everything. Or I could put the K2 and KAT in a much smaller case and take it carry-on and put everything else in a suitcase. Those Pelican cases are a bit pricey though.

[Elecraft] Help with K2 recieve troubleshooting
Hello everyone, I am having trouble figuring out where to go next with my troubleshooting. Here is what I have so far. I have poor receive on all bands. The 1st thing I did was check my soldering. Then I did the cheap and dirty signal tracing as suggested by N0SS. Here are my results from that. I tuned into a loud broadcast station on 7256 khz. I was receiving 5 led lights with the antenna plugged in normally. (this station was 60db over s9 on my TS-2000) Using the recommended probe I got the following: 1 RF Board (2 of 4), C143, input to the TUF-1 Receive Mixer. 6 led lights 2 RF Board (2 of 4), C141, input to the Preamp. Test with the preamp ON and OFF. Signal levels should drop somewhat (but not disappear) when the Preamp is OFF. 8 led lights (preamp on) 6 led lights (preamp off) 3 RF Board (2 of 4), C53, input to the Attenuator. Test with Atten. ON and OFF. Signal levels should drop somewhat (but not disappear) when the Attenuator is ON. 4 led lights (att on) 6 led lights (att off) 4 RF Board (2 of 4), D6, output of the BPF (Band-Pass Filter). 9 led lights 5 RF Board (3 of 4), junction of C4 C5, wiper of K1a (output 40M BPF). 9 led lights 6 RF Board (3 of 4), junction of C7 C8, wiper of K1b (input 40M BPF). 9 led lights 7 RF Board (3 of 4), Jumper W6, input to BPF. 9 led lights 8 RF Board (3 of 4), junction of D2 D3, part of the T-R switch 9 led lights 9 RF Board (3 of 4), junction of D3 D4, part of the T-R switch Flux from 4-6 led lights 10 RF Board (3 of 4), Jumper W1, output of LPF (Low-Pass Filter) 5 led lights 11 RF Board (3 of 4), C225, wiper of K12a, output of 40M LPF 5 led lights 12 RF Board (3 of 4), C226 middle of 40M LPF 3 led lights 13 RF Board (3 of 4), C227, wiper of K12b, input of 40M LPF 5 led lights I'm really stumped at this point.
