[Elecraft] K3: Windows 7 and USB/serial redux
I built a new Windows 7 64 bit Pro PC, got all my ham software up and running and for a brief period of time life was good. A bad RAM module brought that to a crashing (literally) end. Trying to recover from that I've been having a series of problems that keep pointing to what looks like the well known USB/serial port driver kind of problem. So, it looks like I'm going to do a complete clean re-install of Windows and start again. When I bought the K3 in Jan 2010 I bought the generic USB/serial interface from Elecraft. I had loaded the drivers pointed to from the Elecraft site - is that the safe thing to use? Somewhere else I saw some pointing to other drivers. I'm not going to even try to install any of these drivers until I'm 100% sure the Windows 7 setup is 100% stable, but at some point I'm going to want to update the K3 firmware... 73 John K3TN -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-Windows-7-and-USB-serial-redux-tp5992292p5992292.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ 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] K3: Windows 7 and USB/serial redux
John (and everyone else) please **STOP** with the un-installing and re-installing. That ended as a solution to problems long before Windows 98 came out. Re-installing is generally a colossal waste of time and rarely solves anything. What to do instead? Look in control panel and see what Windows tells you that your USB adapter is. If you purchased it from Elecraft, it will either be a Prolific unit or an FTDI unit. If it is Prolific, go here and download the correct driver: http://www.prolific.com.tw/eng/downloads.asp?ID=31 If it is an FTDI, go here and download the correct driver: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm Disconnect your USB cable from the computer, install the correct driver and after the driver installs, then plug in the cable. After you plug in the cable, go back into Control Panel and see what com port # Windows has assigned to your adapter. Set your software to match that com port number. 73, Bob W5OV -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of John K3TN Sent: Friday, February 04, 2011 5:50 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] K3: Windows 7 and USB/serial redux I built a new Windows 7 64 bit Pro PC, got all my ham software up and running and for a brief period of time life was good.

Re: [Elecraft] K3: Windows 7 and USB/serial redux
Win 7 may find the drivers on it's own. I'd try that first. Elecraft changed the KUSB they sell from a Prolific to a FTDI chipset circa July 2010. Both drivers are on the site, so if you download them, it's important to know which cable you have. http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_software.htm#kusb 73, Mike NF4L On 2/4/2011 6:49 AM, John K3TN wrote: I built a new Windows 7 64 bit Pro PC, got all my ham software up and running and for a brief period of time life was good.

Re: [Elecraft] The APF feature of the K3.
APF was discussed extensively in August 2009 (check the archives) including a simulation of the exact FT-1000D APF analog circuit which I found and sent to Al W6LX. Here's Al's simulation which was the model for the K3's DSP implementation of APF: http://sites.google.com/site/ft1000apf/w6lxanalysisoftheapfcircuitintheft-1000 If you search online, you can find the FT-1000D Service Manual which has the analog APF circuit (less the front panel control pot VR8901-2 which is 1k ohms). You must use the original resistor values, not those later changed in a Yaesu service bulletin (to address complaints of peakiness...which in fact is what makes it work). Connoisseurs of APF that bought later improved FT-1000Ds quickly discovered its APF was not as effective as the original and reverted to the original peaky design: http://lists.contesting.com/_topband/2000-03/msg00027.html 73, Bill -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/The-APF-feature-of-the-K3-tp5990251p5992625.html Sent from the [K3] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ 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] SOC Hank Kohl Memorial CW Bash
Honor K8DD (SK) by setting aside time in this twenty four hour event. I'll post a reminder closer to the actual date. ‘The SOC CW Bash’ To commemorate the passing of one of its founding members, the Second Class Operators Club will be holding its first ‘SOC CW Bash’ on Saturday April 2nd between z and 2359z. Many people will remember Hank Kohl K8DD (SOC #69) as one of the main engines behind QRP ARCI , a professional CW operator and a seasoned contester so as a fitting tribute, the SOC hopes to combine all aspects of Hank’s talents and passions in one event. Any operator can take part in the ‘Bash’, and although not a contest, the SOC will be issuing its very own special certificates for top scorers in both a QRO and QRP section. The club will hopefully be activating all of its own call signs during various times of the 24 hour period – W0SOC, M0SOC, W1SOC AND W5SOC – and although there are no ‘strict rules’ the format will be roughly as follows: - Time: z to 2359z on Saturday 2nd April (nearest Saturday to April 1st) - Call ‘CQ DD’ in memory of Hank around the QRP calling frequencies: 3560, 7030 (also check 7040), 14060, 21060, 28060. If QRO, please limit power to 100W - Members to exchange membership number, name and RST - Non members to exchange name and RST - Stations worked on different bands will count as separate QSO’s e.g. If you work W0SOC on 80m, 40m and 20m this will count as three points but if you work W0SOC twice on 80m this will only count as one. Please submit your scores to rpike78...@btinternet.com by Saturday 16th April (if you solely use QRP, please note this clearly in your email). -- 73, Bob Patten, N4BPPlantation, FL E-Mail : n...@arrl.netWebsite: http://www.qsl.net/n4bp SOC #1 ARS #799QRP ARCI #3412 FISTS #7871 FP #1491SMIRK #6625 __ 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] K2/10 FOR SALE
I have two K2/10 and a K/3. I would like to sell one of my K/2. The one for sale has the following options: KSB2, KNB2, KAT2, K160RX, KIO2, KAF2 as well as the Elecraft USB cable for computer control. It basically has everything but the battery pack and 5 meter module, which my other K2 has. The radio works perfectly and has never had any issues. It had modules added and was aligned in October 2009 by an expert builder. Radio has had very little use, which is the only reason I am offering it for sale. Price is $1,100.00 insured and shipped to the lower 48. I have about $1700.00 into this radio. Please reply off-line.

Re: [Elecraft] K3: Windows 7 and USB/serial redux
Ditto what Bob says below. Anything to do with windows attached devices starts and ends in windows device manager. Very rarely do we in the IT field have to re-install windows these days and we try to avoid it all costs. We can lose a half day production from a machine re-installing windows, bring it up to current security patch level, re-install of applications and devices, restoration of user data. Multiply that times three for a home user just because they don't have the tools we do. Whenever you install something USB. I don't care what it is, always, always install the driver first. If you suspect a driver issue with a device like the KUSB go to device manager, right click on the device and un-install it, Disconnect the device, refresh the list by searching for new hardware, re-install the driver, either off the hard drive or CD, and plug in the device when asked to by the driver install or when the install is complete. I was doing IT when plug and pray first reared it's ugly head. I've never been able to make myself trust it. The drivers in any version of windows for the popular devices may be weeks, months, or in some cases years out of date. Don't ever expect a fresh install of windows to have the drivers you need for your device.

[Elecraft] K1 question on output pwr setting
I have a K1 that I built about one year ago. I am very happy with it and it works FB. However, I have this quirky thing when trying to set the power output. I feel the problem is all mine ... but, I can't figure out how to correct it. When I press the wpm + and wpm - buttons together I can set my power out to five watts output. No problem here. If I turn the K1 off and then on again, the output power is at max, 7 or 8 watts or so. Then I have to reset the power output as described above back to 5 watts. It's annoying and I feel the output power should stay at what I set it at when the K1 is fired up after being turned off. Any ideas?

Re: [Elecraft] Blue Tooth - Freq. response
Unfortunately, one can't bump up audio output in FSK-D. I use a modem which only can use 2 KHz tones. The drop in perceived audio level is quite high there for me. Even if low tones were used, there would still be a significant loss. What say Elecraft? Why not let us bump up one segment?

Re: [Elecraft] K3: Windows 7 and USB/serial redux
Several years ago I purchased the KeySpan USB/Serial adapter. I have had absolutely no problem with it on WinXP, WinVista and Win7 (both 3264 bit). If you are using a laptop or change equipment around it is a must. The driver can be setup so that the individual converter will always have the same serial port, regardless of which usb jack you plug it into. How many times have you spent an hour or so trying to figure out what is wrong when al it was is you put the plug into a different jack? I now have two of these and one is set up as com port 3 and the other as 4. Has made my life much simpler. KeySpan model USA 19 HS under $30 on the web. As they said LOAD the driver first for your operating system. You will need to go to KeySpan to get it if you get an older version of SW. DO NOT let windows try and find it or allow windows update to update it.

[Elecraft] K3: Erratic behavior of REV button
Sometimes with my K3 I find it useful when operating split to do so without dual receive. When I do this, I want to be able to monitor the B transmit frequency periodically. This is easy with the REV button. The problem is that sometimes, after releasing the REV button, the radio pops out of split mode. When I don't notice this, I end up transmitting on the wrong VFO, and you know what that means. (Up! Up!) Is this a problem others have seen or do I have an isolated malfunction? Anyone got any input on this?

Re: [Elecraft] Raleigh NC Hamfest (RARSfest)
Hi Don: I replied separately to Lisa from the email she sent out, but figured I'd also write to you as I imagine you will be heading up this effort. My K3 is now complete and I'd be happy to man the booth with you, bringing my K3 and the few mini-kits I have from Elecraft. Let's keep in touch...let me know the next step...

I am looking for others around the Raleigh, NC area to assist, and show off your Elecraft gear. I will have my K2 and K3 and a few mini-kits. Let me know if you are willing to help me out here. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/4/2011 5:08 PM, Lisa Jones - Elecraft Sales wrote: Hamfest season is upon us. We are looking forward to attending more Hamfests than ever this year! However, we cannot make them all ourselves so we are asking for enthusiasts to help. A great group of enthusiasts is once again showing a table of their Elecraft products at Frostfest in Virgina this weekend. (weather permitting). This is their second Hamfest in the last six months for Elecraft and from what I hear- they are having fun doing it. The Raleigh RARSfest, NCS, ARRL Convention is coming up April 26th and we would love to have some representation there. Here is how it works: Elecraft purchases the booth/table, provides a banner, literature and Elecraft Polo Shirts for the organizers. You get to bring your Elecraft product(s) to show off and answer questions about building, operating, etc. Attendees have the opportunity to see our products up close and personal. If you are interested in helping out at Raleigh or a local hamfest in your area, please email me directly: l...@elecraft.com. Hamfests in February: Frostfest (VA) Feb. 4-5 (Enthusiasts) Orlando Hamcation Feb 12-13 (Eric) Have a great weekend whatever your weather may be!
