[Elecraft] Time-Out Timer

[Elecraft] K3 Lin Out -- Need a hint for trouble-shooting
In the last few days I have had the following problem, which cures itself after the K3 has been on for 10-15 minutes. I am talking about TX Data mode. For my normal operation, LIN OUT is set at 08 to 10. *This is the problem: *The receiver and transmitter section appear to behave normally, signals are received properly, and the gain controls work properly, but there is no audio on the Lin Out. Using Config -> Lin Out and resetting the level with VFO A has no effect. Examining the Lin Out output line via FFT (e.g. as in SpectraVue or FLDIGI) shows noise at the right level for the first 200-300 Hz from 0, but a rapid drop-off (to more negative values) of 25-30 dB for the rest of the passband. This is independent of "BAND." Normally, with the settings I use, the noise in the first 200-30 Hz is ~ -85 dB on SpectraVue's scale, with the passband noise around -65 dB. LO is at 0, HI at 2.95, FC at 1.50, using F1. The K3 is a K3/100-F Ser. No. 4103, running MCU 04.25, FPF 01.14, DSP1 02.71. It has the ATU and the KXV3A (factory) installed.

I have already been in contact with Mr. David Sumner K1ZZ and briefed him about my role in the Radio Spectrum Advisory Committee (RSAC) of Hong Kong Government. Although Hong Kong is small, there are 40 ham societies including the national radio societies HARTS. I have been elected by these 40 ham societies as their representative in the RSAC. This is reason why I would like to learn more about spectrum defense matters from ARRL so as to fulfill my role as the amateur radio sector representative in the Hong Kong Government.

We have a TS-480 and a TS-2000 serving two remote radios here in Boulder, CO. Combined these radios have provide more than 4 years of remote service. In that time the transmission time-out timers have terminated transmissions more than once because the user has lost contact with the radio while transmitting. In my opinion a transmission time-out timer is not a nice feature on a radio providing remote service, it is a necessity.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Big Ferrite Split Beads @ B.G. Micro
I'd like to follow up on K2AV's excellent recent post. Thanks to K9AY's previous work, I also was turned on to the type 31 material for RF suppression at HF. I have found it to be substantially better than type 43, especially on the lower bands and for broadband use. A hint for those of you who are contemplating placing an order for some of the clamp-ons: The smaller diameter clamp-ons look attractive at first glance due to their low prices and ability to fit most of the small cables in your shack. But remember the choking impedance goes with the square of the number of turns. A more expensive core with a larger aperture will be a much better bang-for-the-buck. For example, a core that allows 3 turns of a given cable will be 9 times more effective than a single turn core and might only cost only 50% more. Needing to use several single turn cores adds up quickly cost-wise. I use lots of the 0431164181 clamp-ons here. They will accommodate one pass of RG-8 size coax or several turns of computer cables, audio cables, etc. For example, it will allow 6 or 7 turns of RG-174. 73 Craig AC0DS __ 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] K144XV and simultaneous 2m and 6m reception
Now that there has just been a software update, I thought it would be a good time to remind the good people at Elecraft about a bug that annoys those with the K144XV internal 2 m option installed. At our club station, LA2AB, we are not the only ones, it seems, that experience that it is often not possible to listen with one rx on 6 meter and the other one on 2 meter.

[Elecraft] k3 tuning power question
I have a K3 100 watt version and I am curious about what a proper tuning outpower should be to minimize the potential to damage anything. I have been using 10 watts but I think that I am then at full power for low power operation amp so I am thinking I need to have the high power section transmitting at a low power. So I am thinking that you need to be above 12. Bottomline is I am not sure how this part of the radio really works and sometimes if I start tuning and have a bad match it takes me some time with the manual tuner to get the swr good. So any pointers on the best way to set the radio up would be greatly appreciated Thanks Don KD8NNU __ 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] Elecraft support
Dear Fellow Elecrafters, I am writing to report on my experience with Elecraft support. My K3 (820) recently developed a perplexing and irritating behavior: as I would tune in a cw signal, I would come across a frequency very near the CWT center frequency where the signal’s tone would disappear, and I would hear only key clicks. This was a very sharp null, and I would hear a good tone either side of it. I contacted Elecraft support, and Gary walked me through checking for obvious problems, like whether I had the notch filter engaged (I did not). Then he shared the problem with Lyle, who suggested that such a null could occur if I had set SPKRS=1, and AFX was turned on. I use only one speaker, so I did have SPKRS=1. And with mono headphones, I have no need for AFX, but I found that it was turned on. I would not intentionally have turned it on, but I often do direct frequency entries, and I must have erroneously hit the AFX/Enter key with multiple presses or poor timing. I turned off AFX and the problem disappeared. But this story is less about my problem and its solution than it is about the energetic and competent support I received from Elecraft. Gary was prompt in responding to my request for help, and he also was quick to call in Lyle to be sure that appropriate expertise was brought to the problem. And I noticed that all correspondence was copied to Wayne, so that he was in the loop as well. I could not have asked for better support. 73, John, no8v __ 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

RFI suppression comes from a high resistive impedance, which in turn occurs around the resonance of the choke. A single pass through a typical #31 or #43 core is resonant around 200 MHz -- USELESS on HF. Multiple turns moves the resonance of the choke lower in frequency where we need it. My RFI tutorial includes graphs of MEASURED data for some useful cores, and it also includes a list of ferrite cores that are most useful on the HF and VHF bands. See Appendix One.

Re: [Elecraft] FW: [N1MM] FSK problems on K3 radio
Tom, I have had this "stuck in transmit" happen to me a number of times, most recently just yesterday when I was playing with various settings while checking out a configuration problem for another N1MM user. I have also encountered several similar cases on user groups, not only for N1MM Logger but also for the DXLabs software suite. The common thread in all of these problem reports appears to be that when the "stuck in transmit" problem happened, there were two methods of PTT control being used at once. For example, a user may have been using PTT via software command over the serial link (TX; and RX; commands) in parallel with a hardware PTT connection (either to the K3's PTT IN jack, to the AUX connector, or using RTS on the RS232 port). Whenever this problem has happened to me, I have always found that I had two parallel PTT methods configured. In every such case that I am aware of, disabling all but one of the PTT methods has always solved the problem. It looks to me as if you have a hardware PTT connection from DTR on COM1 - at least, that is how you have EXTFSK configured. If so, that is the only PTT method you need. In the N1MM Configurer for COM3, is the "Radio PTT via command" check box checked? If so, try unchecking it to see if that solves the problem. 73, Rich VE3KI W4BQF wrote: > N1MM and MMTTY transmits the messages fine; any macro is sent correctly and > while sending, I can hear the audio (dittles).

Re: [Elecraft] P3 magenta 'pointer' in display?
I upgraded today also, Stan - LOVE IT! The magenta pointer tells you which side of the display screen the VFO B cursor is on. Makes it easier to move it onto the display screen. Very nicely implemented, in my opinion. 73 Craig AC0DS <> I just upgraded to the 1.0 P3 firmware. I notice a magenta triangle <> "pointer" on the left margin of the display.

[Elecraft] P3 ver 1.00
I solved my download issue by going to an ethernet connection vs wireless. I am guessing the wireless signal was perhaps more error prone. Anyway, I like the upgrade but was disappointed that there is no vertical cursor in fixed mode- at least that I have been able to find so far. Perhaps my use is a bit odd- but in dealing with weak EME and 500KHz signals, it is useful to be able to move the cursor over to a narrow trace on the waterfall and know you are there. Having to depend on the somewhat wide filter inverted "U" graphic just doesn't cut it. 73, Dale W4OP __ 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
