[Elecraft] K3 loss of output power
Hi all, My K3 has recently developed a fault that causes a sudden loss of output power. I can be happily transmitting, then suddenly I hear what sounds like a relay click. The rig remains in TX mode, but the RF power meter drops down to nothing. Turning the rig off and back on again fixes the problem for a short period, before it happens again. My suspicion is that something is causing the KPA100 to trip out; the rig has spent quite a bit of time being bounced around in planes of late, so my first thought was that one of the boards might have been bounced loose. Before I take the whole thing to pieces though, has anyone else experienced a similar fault?

Re: [Elecraft] [K2] 60W temperature controlled iron
Wayne - OK, your solder station is a new OEM model from Circuit Specialists, that has been recently introduced. It is a micro-processor controlled station (temperature controlled) .. at an attractive price. Does it use the same soldering tips as the Hakko 907 pencil ?? -- I am aware of Circuit Specialists in Arizona. They have previously have sold OEM product manufactured in Eastern Asia (Solomon in Taiwan, Aoyue, others), based on Hakko 926 / 936 designs from Japan. Earlier OEM models (no longer offered) were direct copies of Hakko -- which prompted litigation against those firms (China has been slow in protecting or respecting patents, copyrights, etc.) Your soldering iron pencil / iron is modeled after the Hakko 907 iron (ceramic heater) and used by many Eastern mfg. This ceramic heater design perfected by the Japanese (heavy gov't RD for auto industry originally) and the ceramic heater in soldering pencils was first seen with Ungar models made in USA (California) in 1980s. Hakko USA - Hakko 936-12 that uses 907 pencil/handpiece http://www.hakkousa.com/detail.asp?CID=49,112PID=1250Page=1 Hakko recently discontinued the 936 model.

If I blow on it, it glows brighter. When I stop blowing, it goes back to dull orange. That's the only direct evidence I have that it is temperature controlled. It's no Cadillac, and reprogramming the presets is maddening, but it seems to work. At least, I'm making acceptable joints with it. No cold joints, most joints have the proper concave filet (a few might be just a wee bit convex, but no big balls of solder in any case), and full coverage of the pad. I've got that one to three second temperature dialed in.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Manual Updates

OTOH, a new manual could be produced and the price of the P3 could be increased accordingly - I think not.

Elecraft has done it very differently -- they have designed a radio that is both modular and utilizes DSP extensively in a manner that allows major upgrades simply by rewriting firmware that programs the DSP, that we download and install. Those improvements, mostly new features and more flexible use of controls, must be described in the manual operationally, hence the revisions. All that is free to users, but it certainly isn't free for Elecraft. And occasionally upgrades are made to the hardware, some of which can be purchased by owners. Like you, I consider the errata to be a huge PITA -- what is needed is a manual that is continuously updated and downloadable with all the changes integrated in a logical stream. That happens periodically with Elecraft manuals -- I downloaded a new K3 manual a year or two ago then printed out pages with significant changes and stuck them between pages in the manual that had come with the radio. I haven't taken the time to see if a new P3 manual is available, but firmware for the P3 is still evolving, with VERY useful features being added as they are suggested by users and can be implemented. 73, Jim Brown K9YC __ 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] Manual Updates
Dear list: It seems to me that these days the whole idea of a printed manual is somewhat beyond the pale. Elecraft makes these manuals the corresponding errata available in *.pdf form for anyone to download, and we should be thankful that we have access to these files. They were doubtless composed upon a word processor capable of saving (publishing) in *.pdf format, and it is a considerable additional expense for Elecraft to distribute these documents in tree-consuming form. While the original files are not editable in Acrobat, *.pdf file editors are available for free or for nominal cost on the internet, so one can edit the errata directly into the manual without difficulty. This is the way I have managed the errata sheets, but for obvious reasons I have either used a separate color or an ancillary notation to indicate that the additions were made by me upon the original Elecraft document for my own consumption. The editing software insists on changing the name of the file as well, so that anyone can see that it was not the original.

[Elecraft] K2 Ladder Line Run for Dipole
Hi: I have completed assembly of my K2 TX serial 7059, an elecraft balun, the K2 SSB adaptor, 100 W adaptor and elecraft KAT 100 antenna tuner. I also just raised an 80 meter dipole in my yard. I have several hundred feet of ladder line attached to the dipole. I ran some of this ladder line toward my house, with its first stop being attached to our shed. From there it goes underneath a deck that has very little crawl space. It runs 16 feet from one end of the deck to the other. On this other end of the deck, I will need to run it against the house anaother 16 feet, turn a corner and run about 20 feet to a point where it will come into the house. I am taking my information on how to make a spark arrestor from the web site www.athensarc.org/ladder.asp It seems to me the best place to put a ground rod and spark arrestor would be out near the shed, right below the dipole feedpoint. The reason I am thinking so, is that if lightning does strike, it would enter the ground out there, away from the house. If I put the spark arrestor and ground rod near the entry point to the house, then lightning would travel under my deck, onto my house siding and then enter the spark arrestor and ground rod only after running half the perimeter of my house across my nice Canadian cedar siding. So my question is, where would the best place be for the ground rod and lightning arrestor. At the entry point to the house, or out beneath the dipole center feedpoint? 73 de WN2K Paul Agoglia __ 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

Paul, This subject has been beat to death here in recent weeks, and not to start it up again, but in the interest of safety: The ground rod, where ever you put it, must be tied to the ground at your service entrance with a very low resistance conductor. The reason is that, in the event of a nearby strike that induces charge in your antenna system, you want it, your radio chassis, the mains safety ground, and everything else to be at the same potential. That can only happen if the grounds for everything are tied back to the single ground at the service entrance. It really is a safety issue. Now, unfortunately, if your antenna takes a direct strike, you're pretty much hosed. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2011 Cal QSO Party 1-2 Oct 2011 - www.cqp.org __ 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

Wayne, While working 160M DX last winter I noticed that when I Switch from RX antenna (Beverage) and back to TX antenna That the base line (Noise floor) on the P3 was about 2 S unites Less than when I changes to the RX antenna. With the default antenna ( TX antenna ) PreAmp = off and ATT = ON Switch to RX antenna (with the preamp off) turn the preamp on and switch back to normal antenna. Now if you switch the preamp on and off, the base line will return to normal. Hard for me to explain.

...The frequency (14.316 MHz) was plagued by some type of pulsed QRM - short pulses at about a 2 second interval, about S6 here in Oregon with my antenna pointed east. I was able to copy through it without too much trouble. I noticed it too, and found that using AutoNotch reduced it enough to hear some weak stations through it. 73, Lyle KK7P __ 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] View message in context
I see these emails from the Elecraft list quite often, someone responding to another person's earlier post, but no text quoted from the earlier message. There is just the View this message in context text as shown below. I don't care to open another page to see what the previous message was about, so usually just delete these messages. I have checked my subscription options on http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft , but see no way to change this. Is there a way to change options to actually see the previous message without going somewhere else to look at it? I went to nabble.com, but couldn't find Elecraft or any way to make any changes there.

Re: [Elecraft] K3_P3_160_CW
The P3 keeps track of the preamp/attenuator status reported by the K3 so that the dBm or S-unit display reads accurately. That can lead to some non-intuitive behavior. For example, turning on the K3 preamp typically makes the noise level on the P3 go down rather than up. The reason is that the P3 is turning down its gain to compensate for the increased gain in the K3. However this doesn't always work correctly when switching the RX antenna on the K3. Currently the K3 does not send an update to the P3 if switching antennas causes the preamp or attenuator status to change. This is on Wayne's bug list.

With the default antenna ( TX antenna ) PreAmp = off and ATT = ON Switch to RX antenna (with the preamp off) turn the preamp on and switch back to normal antenna. Now if you switch the preamp on and off, the base line will return to normal. Hard for me to explain.
