Re: [Elecraft] KX3 digital
Don is spot on. I have filter macros built in DM780 to center my signal of choice and then narrow the filters SW needed. This greatly helps grabbing those weak signals of interest. 73 KD8NNU Don Sent from my HTC on the Now Network from Sprint! - Reply message - From: "Don Wilhelm" Date: Sat, Jan 12, 2013 1:25 am Subject: [Elecraft] KX3 digital To: It used to be that 5 watts on PSK31 was all that was needed, most all operators were using low power because it worked well.

Narrow the receiver filter and use the VFO to tune the desired station to the center of the IF passband. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/11/2013 6:13 PM, Ariel Jacala wrote: > 5 watts on PSK will work if you are in an empty section on the waterfall.

Re: [Elecraft] RX IQ sound card problems KX3
Tabb. You are seeing images. That is a result of either imbalance in your soundcard gain settings for the I and Q settings or a failure ot the application to adjust for those images. If you are using NaP3 as your application, there are steps you can take to detect and cancel the images - tune to a strong signal and the cancellation process is automatic. I refer you to the archives on LP-Pan Yahoo group for more information.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 digital
George, Before you become discouraged, let me clue you in on a fairly common, yet silly, problem. Make sure your sound card is set up and calibrated so that you are receiving and then transmitting on the same frequency. I have seen a number of locals have this problem of actually operating split and not know it. What will happen is that the station you are answering will not hear you as you won't be on his frequency. My AC97 in my laptop has that problem, for instance. Have a look and best of luck. 73, Barry K3NDM - Original Message - From: w2b...@aol.com To: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Friday, January 11, 2013 4:44:14 PM Subject: [Elecraft] KX3 digital I have had my KX3 about a month now.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 digital
I have done most of my QSOs on PSK31 and 5 watts. They include 49 states (still missing Rhode Island), and about 16 DXCC entities including Japan, Cuba, Brasil, and Australia. You can have a lot of fun with 5 watts, and with QRP you'll have stories about the ones that got away. Don's advice about narrowing your bandwidth is very good advice. I generally use the HI/Low bandwidth adjustments on my K3 to narrow the bandwidth around the station I am trying to contact until my 250Hz filter kicks in. (I lock the K3 VFO to avoid bumping it and moving the station on my computer waterfall.) Your KX3 has similar controls for the DSP bandwidth. I find my dynamic range limit is in the audio interface to the computer, and narrowing the bandwidth in the DSP gets rid of most of the other stations which overload the computer sound input. Have fun with the digital modes. Cheers - Bill, AE6JV On 1/11/13 at 3:13 PM, n...@hotmail.com (Ariel Jacala) wrote: 5 watts on PSK will work if you are in an empty section on the waterfall.

Re: [Elecraft] What CW Filters do others have
I am impressed with the turn around time at Elecraft! I ordered the parts on Saturday night and they were at my door step Tuesday when I got home from work. I ordered the internal antenna tuner and the 400hz 8 pole cw filter. I was in and out of the K3 with the new parts in 30 minutes. After some updates to the rig's software I was off and running. My impressions of the 400hz filter are high! it really "hugs" the signal and cuts out background band noise. Its amazing the stark difference when I open the width up from 400hz to 450hz. I am very glad I made the choice to get this filter! 73!

Re: [Elecraft] RX IQ sound card problems KX3
OK, so I suppose when you move the line-in level to zero the noise from the computer speakers go to zero as well. Check if not by mistake the microphone is used as input for HDSDR. You cannot use the phones output in combination with HDSDR, the program expects the I and Q sigs on the respective left and right channels of the sound card's line input. The output from HDSDR should then in turn be routed to the computer's speakers. In fact the line input also affects the reading on the S-meter in HDSDR. The large "carrier" looks to me as the hum you describe, for that would be seen as a carrier close to the center frequency displayed. If you unplug the I/Q output on the KX3 and touch the tip or ring on the plug you should be able to see and hear that action in HDSDR. 73, Peter - PA0PJE W9TTW Tabb Adams schreef: Yep it is on in the menu, when I bring up the display on HDSDR there is a large carrier in the center of the display same noise I am hearing when I plug the RX IQ into the sound card.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 digital
5 watts on PSK will work if you are in an empty section on the waterfall. In a crowded situation with strong signals nearby, you will be stepped on and obliterated by the strong signal. Certain DX stations are notorious for overdriving the waterfall and wiping out other signals. You are better off calling CQ in location away from nearby strong signals. At 5 watts your printing on the waterfall can be faint depending on propagation. I did get Hawaii once on PSK with my K2. My luck with PSK has always been better at 25-30 watts. That is just the nature of this mode. At QRP power, CW is much more efficient. Make sure you have enough drive to just trigger the ALC circuit. You are also better off decoding the PSK signal with Fldigi or DM780 - just a better PSK experience with the macros and all.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Freeze.
I have experienced this, but my lock-ups occur when tapping the SELECT button and using the knob on the P3 to QSY to a frequency on the SVGA display. It's never stopped doing that, so now as a work-around, I tap the FINE button on the right of the main VFO knob with my social finger and use the VFO to make rapid changes on the SVGA screen. Tapping it again returns it to 1Hz resolution for fine tuning. On Fri, 11 Jan 2013 09:44:24 -0800 (PST), Tom Fitzpatrick wrote: > My P3 display periodically freezes.

Hi Tom, This has happened to me on two or three occasions. It never happened before I installed the SVGA board.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Sub Receiver Problems
You need to call Elecraft Tech Support on this problem before you go further. They don't live on the reflector. Someone knowledgeable can walk you through a series of steps to isolate what is going on. There are too many possibilities to work this efficiently over email. Do not go soldering things until you have called Elecraft. It could easily be something you misread in the manual, or a misconception about how it works with the components you have. Or it can be an improperly seated tiny plug on those coax leads. Everyone has done that. There is a certain "feel" to it when it is really seated. Frankly 9 S units usually means that something is not connected at all. 9 S units down means all you are hearing is capacitive coupling. BOTH the cable connections AND the state of the RX hold button must match. But there is a pile of possibilities. Call Elecraft and have them walk you through. 73, Guy.

[Elecraft] FS: K60XV 60-M and transverter adapter - new unbuilt kit
Hello Group, The K60XV adds 60-m ham-band coverage to K2. In addition, it provides a low level split-path interface for use with transverters. I bought this kit last month but have no time to build. It is an unbuilt brand new kit. My price is US$80 including shipping to US and major cities in Europe by airmail. If you are interested, please reply off-the-list.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 VOX in data mode
But surely in Data D mode, the psk or rtty is being internally generated within the K3 - any audio input allowable by having the VOX tripped would be irrelevant anyway. In practice there is no Data D mode - just PSK-D and RTTY-D? Unless I have misunderstood the original question of course :-) 73 Stephen G4SJP On 10 January 2013 23:22, K7JLTextra wrote: > I will try again, did not work the first time I tried it.
