Re: [Elecraft] K3 programming problem - FIXED

[Neoklis Kyriazis]

Wow! My thanks to all for the plentyful response.

It turned out eventually that the problem was insufficient delay between
sending a request for data (e.g. FA;) and reading the response from the
serial port. The FT847/FT857 needs a delay of about 2ms, the K3 needs
about 50ms minimum. I increased the delay to usleep( 5 ) after the
write() to the serial port and all is well now. This delay AFAIT is not the
delay in the response of the K3 (I have set a delay of 500ms in the 

serial port attributes) but time needed by the K3 perhaps to process the
request for data and fill in its output buffer.

Anyhow, it all works well now. As far as Hamlib is concerned, my personal
preference to programing is to avoid as far as possible dependency on
other programs or libraries, even though they may offer convenience and
labor saving. But there are other advantages sometimes, originally I used
the fftw2 lib to produce the waterfall, but it added 500kb to the binary and
was much more powerful than needed. I now use a very simple fft of my
own, which is table-based and uses only integer arithmetic. Its a total of
about 80 lines, including comments!

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Panadapter while transmitting

[Heinz Baertschi]

I do support the demand that Elecraft should reconsider the K3/P3 control
while transmitting.

My recent posting "[P3] Display freeze during CW keying" does address the
same deficiency.

The addition of a P3SVGA would make no sense before the reported
imperfections are fixed.

Hopefully the P3 will remain a fully usable 1st class Spectrum Analyzer
instead of becoming an All-in-one device suitable for every purpose (in
german: eierlegende Wollmilchsau).

[Elecraft] KAM+ Connections

[Joel Black]

I have finally gotten the KAM+ working with the K3.

Lots of helpful suggestions here as usual.

To start off my problem, I wound up having the TxA and RxA connections 
reversed.  Once I got that corrected, I could receive just fine, but I 
could never transmit (no audio using MON and no transmit power).  Well, 
after reading the manual yet again, I found a jumper for increasing the 
TxA from the KAM and a pot that adjusts that output audio.  I could then 
hear the signal, but I still had no output power.  Adjusting the MIC 
gain solved that.  I think the audio from the KAM may be a little hot so 
I am still playing around with that.

I will forward the wiring diagram if anyone's interested.

Joel - W4JBB

[Elecraft] [K3] Remote control protocol documentation

[Thomas Horsten]

Hi Elecraft list,

I have read about the new K3 remote protocol (that's supported natively in
the latest firmwares of the K3), and I want to implement my own remote
control solution. However I haven't been able to find any documentation on
the remote protocol anywhere (implemented in Linux with software on a
Beagleboard acting as the backend to a GTK+ frontend emulating the user
interface on another machine in the network).

Does anyone know if this documentation exists, and if not, when it will be
released? Apologies if there is an early beta/draft version of the protocol
documentation somewhere and I've missed it. If it's not out there, can
someone in the know provide me with a copy?

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Remote control protocol documentation

[Don Wilhelm]

Thomas,

If you are referring to the recent support for RemoteRig, the 
description of that function can be found at the Elecraft website - 
search on "RemoteRig".  Either the RemoteRig, or a communications link 
to connect 2 K3s (the local K3 controls the remote K3) is what is 
needed.  What is required is a communications link, and not any 
particular protocol.

If you are instead creating a control program to run on your computer 
and remotely control a single K3, then the K3 Programming reference is 
the documentation that you need.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Remote control protocol documentation

[Thomas Horsten]

Don,

I was under the impression that a new protocol had been implemented in the
firmware, providing better performance and features for remote control
applications compared to the existing command set from the K3 Programmer's
Reference.

The approach of continuously polling all values and attempting to emulate
panel key presses by translating them into the corresponding commands is
not very efficient for this purpose, and it's not possible to achieve 100%
synchronization and correct mapping of keys to functions.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Remote control protocol documentation

[Thomas Horsten]

So the new "REMOTE" mode of the K3 uses the normal K3 commands from the
Programmer's Reference to talk to the remote K3? I was sure I'd seen
somewhere that a better protocol had been devised for this.

Can anyone with such a setup verify if that's the case, possibly by
snooping on the link?

This is not directly related to RemoteRig, as far as I understand it will
work by hooking up any 2 K3's with, for example, a null-modem cable or two
serial ports on a PC "virtually" connected together.

Re: [Elecraft] [K1] How about a KFL1-4 filter board for 17m/15m/12m/10m?

[Curt]

When I asked question awhile ago about building one for 40/20/17&15, was 
told the KFL1-4 requires that two of the bands be below 20M.  Wayne had 
mentioned in one of the posts long ago potential for a KFL1-4H that would 
accomodate just the higher bands, but that never bacame a product.

Agree with all of your points, especially that Elecraft has more profitable 
items on their platter and isn't likely to revisit this old subject.  And 
after all in another few years we won't be talking about 10M anymore.

I was hoping to find some folks who had implemented 10M on the K1.  While 
changing filter boards is somewhat of a pain, seems this will provide the 
most cost-effective means to get 10M QRP capability. Having 40/30/20/15 and 
80/17 capability, 12/10 seemed to make the most sense.

Unless/until Elecraft introduce a separate RF sensor for the K3/P3
monitoring during transmit makes absolutely no sense.  The IF output
*is not valid in transmit*.  It does not accurately reflect the RF
output, it is offset to the actual transmit frequency and any signal
is the result of random coupling in the circuit.

Although the P3 might make a pretty picture in transmit, the picture
is not worth the electrons it takes to make it.

The P# is not a "fully usable Spectrum Analyzer" ... it is a limited
function "panadapter" (narrow range spectrum analyzer - dedicated to
the transceiver IF).

Re: [Elecraft] Winkey Keyer

As said, N1MM can key the K3 via the serial port.

Still, I use my old K1EL keyer because:
- easy and quick change of keying-speed
- easy hook-up and integration of my CW-paddle
- easy and understandable ptt from the keyer to the K3
- easy setup (delays etc.) in the winkey page of N1MM.

Re: [Elecraft] KAM+ Connections

[Dave Johnson]

Joel

I am surprised that the audio levels seem to be an issue, I haven't
used mine for ages with the K3, but my SCS modem levels are 500 mV
(PSK and FSK amplitude) on transmit into the line input of the K3,
line input set to 30 on the K3. The K3 line out is 045 and not mixed
with phones. It works fine on 010, the default K3 setting too.

There are some settings on my web page: www.astromag.co.uk/amtor/ The
modem settings are shown for an SCS PTC-IIex, but there will be
equivalent settings for a KAM (note the tone orientation on the KAM
differs from the SCS modem, for RTTY/AMTOR on the SCS use DATA A and

You might try looking for a Pactor contact on 14.1125 (LSB or REV TX
DATA), that should equate to a centre frequency of 14.111 MHz, an
often used Pactor channel. You can see who is around from the website

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Remote control protocol documentation

[Bob Cunnings]

>From the changes notes for K3 firmware MCU 4.47 / DSP 2.73, 12-2-2011:

REMOTE-RIG SUPPORT:

"One K3 can now directly control another, with one acting as nothing
but a front panel. This "remote rig" mode provides a nearly perfect
emulation of the remote K3's display and controls. (Previously, front
panel emulation was limited by the K3's legacy command set.) The
simplest way to use this is to connect the two K3s together using a
"null modem" cable at the RS232 ports. However, by using a computer or
a third-party hardware as an intermediary, it's possible to control a
K3 over the internet or even a wiFi connection."

"Previously, front panel emulation was limited by the K3's legacy
command set." hints at something new to make remote control more
efficient. Wayne described it in this message posted on 21 Sep 2011:

http://www.mail-archive.com/elecraft@mailman.qth.net/msg123387.html

"Virtually the entire K3 user interface is supported by the new remote-
control protocol. It really feels like you're using the remote K3
itself, including a 100% accurate emulation of the remote K3's LCD
(flashing icons, etc.)."

Re: [Elecraft] Winkey Keyer

[nr4c]

Please note:

I have and use a WinkeyUSB keyer with my K3.  It works well and does 
all the things you would expect.  WINDOWS will cause uneven CW keying if 
used directly from logging software do to it very nature.  Using the 
Winkeyer (or other similar devices) will deliver perfect code 
everytimne.  All of Arie's statements are true and relevant.

BUT..

If you are using the K3 DATA modes (FSK D or PSK D) to send digital via 
paddles, you must first re-connect the paddles to the PADDLE IN jack.  
The keyers connect thru the KEY IN jack and are not seen by the K3's 
internal keyer thus eliminating the ability to send digital messages via 
the paddles.  Also, using the K3 M1-M4 buttons to send code will use the 
K3 internal keyer. Nor can you store CW into the M1-M4 memories via the 
paddles.  This is not a condemnation of external keyers, just a bit of 
info that might be relevant to your situation.

For me, the jury is still out on the continued use of the WinkeyUSB.  
It works well for keying, but..

Re: [Elecraft] KAM+ Connections

[Don Wilhelm]

Joel,

The K3 has an indicator for the proper audio input level - it is the ALC 
meter.  For data modes, adjust the audio output to have 4 bars lighted 
with the 5th bar flickering.
The old advice normally seen to not have any ALC meter activity.  The K3 
ALC meter is different - the onset of ALC is the 5th bar, below that 
level it behaves more like a VU meter to allow you to easily set the 
audio level.

[Elecraft] K3 S-Meter Stuck with KXV3 Error

[Kenny & Stephanie]

I recently build a new K3 from a kit.  It worked great for a month, but 
after going through the configuration menus and setting up some 
preferences, I started getting errors.

After powering the radio back on, my S-meter is a solid S-9 regardless 
of the input signal levels.  With a 50 ohm termination my P3 shows the 
noise floor below S-0 but the K3 meter is still S-9.  I am also getting 
a KXV3 error at the same time this started happening.

Corrective actions taken so far:  Removed and uninstalled the K3XV 
module. (Result: K3XV error goes away, S-Meter still stuck)
Remove and replace front panel to insure all connectors are seated 
properly (Result:  No Change)
Reloaded all Firmware (Result: No change)
Reloaded initial configuration file (Result: No Change)

Has anyone experienced anything like this?  It is odd that the radio was 
working fine after the kit build and suddenly stopped after setting up 
configurations, but it does not start up again after loading the default 
configurations.

I plan on emailing customer support on Monday.

Yeah, I have three paddles active in my SO2R station (two K3s). One 
connected directly to each K3, sitting out of the way for those special 
uses, and one connected to the WinKeyer, in the center of my operating 
position.

When considering alternate keyers, if you're a contester, make certain 
that the keyer you plan to buy or build is supported by the logging 
software that you plan to use with it.

Not real sure what you question is, but

If using n1mm logging software, it is possible to have n1mm send 
message to the K3 to play one of the m1-m4 memories pre-recorded via the 
DVR for call and/or contest exchange.  Works very well.

[Elecraft] K2 power amps Q7,Q8

[leo]

My K2 serial number#7144 is almost completed. All tests have been good except
the last resistance check on page 76.
 Collector to ground should read 0 ohm,s .Even without the heat sink on I
get 3.6K.Looking through the   E mail's that are posted I have removed
transformer T3,recheched the collectors of Q7 and Q8,I get a reading of 0
ohm's all good.I removed Q7 and Q8 so I can get a beter look at what is
going on .the collector pads to ground without T3 are good,but when I short
out pads A and B for T3 where the windings will go I get  reading of 3.6K.
 Eye balling the board for shorts,I can't find a thing wrong and T4 windings
look good to me.
 Any ideas before I pack this thing up and send it off for repair.

[Elecraft] K3 Error 00013

[zumbruns]

Hello to group.  Wanted to give some follow up on above error code.  This code 
was generated doing a Synthesizer Calibration on new K3.  I wasn't able to find 
much on this on the reflector and naturally it was a weekend.  Then I 
remembered Greg AB7R.  He had helped me in the past with my first K3 and so I 
gave him a call.  He was in the middle of studying for an accounting final.  He 
was gracious to listen to my tale of woe and of course he was able to pull up 
the info on his computer regarding the error codes for the VCO MD Calibration.  
It seems that if the error code is low one has to squeeze the windings on T1 on 
the Synthesizer board together just a bit or if the error code is high one 
needs to separate the windings slightly.  Anyway, I pulled off the synthesizer 
board, opened up T1, and moved the windings a tiny bit.  I closed up the 
toroid, put the synthesizer board back in and vol la, it calibrated as it was 
supposed to without any errors.  

  

I did e-mail Gary Surrency and he promptly e-mailed me with more info.  Once 
again this is what makes Elecraft such a special product and company.  We get 
to fix things ourselves and get answers to our questions rather than told to 
send the radio in for repairs.  Kudos again to Elecraft, Greg and Gary.  73, 
Steve W0SZ

Re: [Elecraft] K2 power amps Q7,Q8

[Don Wilhelm]

Leo,

I don't believe there is anything to repair.  Re-read the instructions 
carefully again - yes, you are to check for a short to ground - *BUT* if 
you find the resistance is zero, then you have a problem that must be 
corrected.

The resistance to ground from the Q7 and Q8 collectors normally starts 
out at 1.5k to 2.5k and climbs as the electrolytic capacitors on the 12 
volt DC line charge up - just how high it goes and how fast it gets 
there depends on your DMM - your reading of 3.6k is good, so put it all 
back together, checking again after you put the heat sink in place.  
Remember a low resistance to ground is a bad thing.

73,
Don W3FPR

[Elecraft] 1/4" paddle jack rear panel of K3

[Linda and Bob]

The 1/4" paddle jack on the rear of my K3/100 wiggles much more than other 
rear panel jacks. Is this normal? I am afraid that the paddle jack may 
disconnect from the PCB that it is attached to inside the rig.

BTW, the 1/4" key jack next to the paddle jack does not wiggle at all.

It only seems to be a problem when I remove the paddle cable and plug from 
the jack (which is rarely done) and then plug it in again. Thanks for your 
help and input.

Re: [Elecraft] Flying with a rig

[Fred Jensen]

I've never taken my K3, but I have taken my K2 and KX1.  This may be 
overkill but:

I put a copy of my ham license in the carry on case, taped a note to the 
radio explaining what it, and the paddle, jumpers, and battery was, had 
the manual in with it, and had no problems.  They asked me to fire my 
laptop up but not the radio.  I was going to take a knockoff MP-1 
antenna, but decided against it since the resonator looks like a pipe 
bomb on the x-ray.

I have braces on both legs and carry some surgical and scrap metal 
inside me, and am total toast at TSA anyway [I always wear shorts to the 
airport, even if it's snowing :-)].  By the time they finally decided I 
was too old to be an effective terrorist, my wife had collected our gear 
and we were on our way.  It turned out that I was there long enough to 
have explained short, base-loaded, HF antenna theory to them and could 
have taken the MP-1 and I wished I had.  Trying to string wire in the 
opening on our balcony on the ship in some fashion that would radiate 
was pretty much a non-starter.

YMMV however, it *is* TSA.

Re: [Elecraft] Flying with a rig

[Lew Phelps K6LMP]

Varies by airport. sometimes they make me take it out and put it on a tray like 
they do with laptops.  Sometimes they make me empty out entire carrying case 
and fondle everything.  Either way, they almost always wipe it with the special 
paper and do an explosives check.

Helps if you tell them in advance what's in your K3 carrying case. And carry a 
copy of your license. 

Count on adding 5 to 10 minutes to your TSA pit stop enroute to gate at most 
airports.  JFK is the worst I've seen. LAX makes it quick and easy. Other 
airports vary in between.

Re: [Elecraft] Flying with a rig

[Dave Johnson]

No issues with a K2 here in Europe, I only do 4 flights a year and
only once had to take the K2 out of my carry-on bag to X-ray it
separately - with a grumpy operative saying it was a laptop and
couldn't I read the notice that said to remove laptops from hand
luggage... I carry my licence, but have never been asked to explain
the electronic equipment in my luggage.

For anyone with a K2 fitted with the internal lead acid battery, that
might cause some issues as the "acid" may be in a gel form but the
word "acid" is an emotive one. My K2 no longer has the internal
battery fitment.

Re: [Elecraft] Flying with a rig

[Andrew Faber]

Mike,
  I carry my K3 in a backpack from SFO to MIA a few times a year on the way 
to Aruba.  I leave it in the backpack at TSA.  The last two times there were 
no issues at all.  Occasionally in the past they have asked me to remove it. 
They have then checked it for explosives with some kind of swab and run it 
through the scanner again, but have never asked any questions, or required 
that it be turned on (which I can't do, since I don't carry a PS). So I 
wouldn't expect any major problems at all. I always have a copy of my US and 
Aruban ham licenses with me, but have never had to show them to anyone.
  On the way back, in Aruba, I've never had any questions asked at all.

Just a note here on TSA regs regarding batteries of any kind:  

You MUST carry them with you on the plane.  TSA regs forbid putting any kind of 
battery into checked luggage.  Their web site says this is because it's easier 
to determine if the battery has shorted out and caught on fire, or anything 
like that.

[Elecraft] FS: K2/10 & Acccessories

[David F. Reed]

Before I resort to the auction giant, I am offering my K2-10 serial 
number 4950, with KSB2, K160RX, KNB2, KDSP2, KAT2, FDIMP, K60XV, KIO2, 
and KBT2, built by Jerry McCarthy, and a cloth dust cover by Rose (has 
my call sign on it).  I am asking $1250, shipped insured CONUS; again, 
any reasonable offer will be considered.

As new condition, no smoke exposure. Please reply direct to me, not 
reflector.

Thanks for the bandwidth and your consideration.

[Elecraft] FS: K3 # 1476

[David F. Reed]

Fellow Elecrafters, last Tuesday night a tornado took down my towers 
with all my antennas; I am raising cash to help get me back on the air; 
towards that end, I am offering for sale one of my K3/100-F, serial 
number 1476. It is fairly well loaded and in excellent condition (no 
smoking either).

Included are the following accessories:

K111XV-F, KAT3-F, KRX3-F, KXBF3 (2; One for sub RX), KDVR3,
KFL3A2.8_2.7sw (2 EA.), KFL3A-400 (2 EA.), KFLA-6K (2 EA), KFL3B-FM,
KTCX03-1, KXV3A UPGR.

Price new for all this would be over $5,000.00; I am asking $4,000.00 
shipped insured. Reasonable offers will be entertained.  Please reply 
off list.

Thanks and 73 de Dave, W5SV

[Elecraft] Flying with a rig

[Blair Bates]

I have flown several times with a rig as carry on luggage.  I always carry
a rig manual and license (US plus destination license if going out of US,
or CEPT language).  Never had a problem.  Worst case was having to put
radio in plastic tub for X-ray plus explosive swab.

Sometimes, when beginning or ending a trip on a small-plane regional
carrier, I have had to check my carry on luggage.  But, a K-3 or smaller
radio (in a soft bag) should fit under the seat and avoid that
re-categorization as checked baggage.  With a larger, hard-shell case, or
inside a larger "carry-on" the bag with radio might have to go to the cargo
hold.

I appreciate you asking this question because my new KX3 will be with me on 
many business trips in the future. The advice was awesome from the folks on 
this reflector.  I especially did not know the potential battery issue in the 
checked in luggage. That was great info for me.

Thanks for asking!

[Elecraft] SHIFT - LO/HI Cut

[Tommy Alderman]

In tinkering with my K3 (s/n 4521)(Firmware 4.39) I have somehow managed to
disable the ability to select Lo/Hi Cut and I cannot get SHIFT to shift my
passband in the CW mode. Ironically both SHIFT and Lo/Hi Cut work fine in
other modes, so I feel pretty sure I have a parameter set incorrect. With
the LED's lit for SHIFT and WIDTH, in the CW mode, WIDTH works correct but
when I move my SHIFT control, VFO B display shows 'FC  *0.54 (of course 0.54
is my pitch setting).

I have been going through both the K3 manual and Fred's book but so far I
can find nothing that identifies my problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

73,
Tom - W4BQF

Re: [Elecraft] [K1] How about a KFL1-4 filter board for 17m/15m/12m/10m?

[Mike Morrow]

> When I asked question awhile ago about building one for 40/20/17&15, was 
> told the KFL1-4 requires that two of the bands be below 20M.

That's half-true only if one does not alter **any component values**!  Duh!
Otherwise that statement was very incorrect at several levels.

The high band (20m, 17m, 15m) section of the existing KFL1-4 can already be
tuned to provide 17m and 15m rather than Elecraft's incorrect advertising claim,
plus structure of the KFL1-4 manual, that requires one to choose 20m and either
17m or 15m.  That denies the real versatility that exists in the present 
circuit.
I suppose someone assumes that no one would *ever* fail to choose 20m as one of
the bands.

So...a 17/15/12/10m KFL1-4 design is already **more than half** complete.  All
that would be required now is redesign the other RF section for 12m and 10m
instead of 40m and 30m, plus provide K1 circuit modifications required for
satisfactory 12/10m operation  I bet someone on Elecraft's engineering staff
could do the redesign in less than two hours, if time were available during
some future lull in Elecraft product output.  (No time soon, for sure.)

> And after all in another few years we won't be talking about 10M anymore.

Yes...a few...but one hopes that actually means something closer to seven years
or more.  (This is my fifth solar cycle in my ham life.  I recall that my first
in the late 1960s seemed the best.)

> I was hoping to find some folks who had implemented 10M on the K1.

I believe such folk do exist.  I'm not one of them, though.

> While changing filter boards is somewhat of a pain...

It is...especially with the KAT1 installed...hence the desirability of
a 17/15/12/10m KFL1-4 early in this cycle of increasing solar activity.
Also, low-pass filtering of the KFL1-4 is significantly better than that
of the two-band KFL1.

> ...seems this will provide the most cost-effective means to get 10M
> QRP capability. Having 40/30/20/15 and 80/17 capability, 12/10 seemed

I have exactly the same filter board setups, plus a now-unused old two-band
KFL1 board from the days when the KFL1-4 wasn't available.  I'd consider
modifying it to a 12m/10m board if good component values were available.

But...the excellent little K1 has been off the burner for more than ten
years, and I suspect it is significantly more expensive to produce in kit
form than the KX1.  It probably does not make sense for Elecraft to strongly
encourage K1 sales if the KX1 can be sold in its place.  All this is only
my speculation!

I intend to acquire a full-house KX3 in 2012.  But I will never get rid
of my favorite QRP rig, my November 2000 K1 no. 175.

Mike / KK5F

[Elecraft] KX1 Power Output

[Tom Crites]

I hope you can read this, but do the values look reasonable, for a KX1
with the output power mod.  Peak to peak (Vpp) voltages and RMS (Vrms)
were taken with a high end O'scope and used to compute the Power
values (Ppp and Prms).

Seems the KX1 read the supply voltage about 0.4 volts low.

Thanks,

This happened to me two years ago. they take your entire contact list and
exploit it. No big deal really, although i was blocked from this reflector
in spite of numerous appeals. So I go a new e mail. It happens alot and is
not a virus, just marketing.
