Re: [Elecraft] [600MRG] Use of K3 on 600m (and below)

2013-09-12 Thread Edward R Cole

Correct.

Refer to the K3 manual, page 56, KXV3:  If KXV3 is set to TEST, the 
K3 will use low power (0.1 to1.50 mw) on all bands, including hte HF 
and transverter bands.  RF input/output is via teh XVTR IN/OUT jacks 
in this case.  To access the TEST setting, KXV3 must first be set to 
NOR, then K3 turned off/on.


The K3 will transmit on any frequency from 490-KHz to 30-MHz in the 
test mode if you have the General Coverage filter installed.


This procedure is how I used the K3 to transmit on 495-510 KHz under 
the experimental license WD2XSH/45.  I found I only need 0.1 mw to 
drive my NDB transmitter.  I insert the K3 drive in place of the 
standard xtal oscillator.  Details of this is on my 600m webpage.

Fred,

I believe Ed is referring to the KXV3 TEST mode.  See page 50 of the
manual, the first bullet in the Milliwat TX Gain Calibration.

That is different than TX TEST.

Re: [Elecraft] [OT} Wireless chargers.

 Chargers for small electronic devices that use low frequency induction at
 close range are common and harmless.
 
 But how about a device that is said to use many transmitters to focus energy
 at a rate of 1 Watt onto a device that is 30 ft away?
 
 Harmless??

At least they are low frequency, though the harmonics could be a bit lively.  
Filters being expensive, are likely not to be used.

OK, so how are they going to share that sort of spectrum (2.45GHz etc) to 
wirelessly charge remote devices, without killing WiFi and so on?   Or creating 
health risks (it's the same spectrum as microwave ovens use of course...)


A far bigger problem for us HF radio spectrum users, are Plasma TV's, and in 
home power line networking.  Both polute the RF spectrum from a few MHz, 
now way up to a few 100MHz, often with no notches (that don't realy help 
anyway) for some considerable distance.

Also many types of LED lighting, is particularly dirty RF wise too.

http://www.ban-plt.co.uk/UK based, but a lot of good general info.


With the presure to go green and everything be as efficient as possible, I do 
wonder about Wireless charging in general, if the green movement is about to 
shoot itself in it's collective foot.

Amazed...

Dave G0WBX.

 Thanks for the reply Bill. I remeasured the current. KRX3 on 1.82A off
 1.52A so if the extra current is consistent with the KRX3 on and off with
 your measurement then I've got an extra 400mA sneaking off somewhere?

I measured mine again and got the following using the internal meter...1.15A
KRX3 off and 1.45A on.  My readings jump around quite a bit so that's an
eyeball average.  Yes you may have something else going on somewhere in the
rig.  Probably time to contact k3support at elecraft.com.

Re: [Elecraft] [OT} Wireless chargers.

2013-09-12 Thread David Christ
What I found interesting was where the article said  

A Cota-enabled device sends out a beacon signal that finds paths to the 
charger, which in turn returns the power signal through only those open paths 
back to the receiver, avoiding people or anything that absorbs its energy.

It sounds like they have found some new laws of physics.

Re: [Elecraft] Straight Key in parallel with PC keying

2013-09-12 Thread Joe Subich, W4TV



I have been reluctant to simply parallel the two by means of a Y
cable for fear that sending with the straight key would place a
direct short across the output of the winkeyer and wreak havoc on my
winkeyer. Am I being unduly concerned??


Yes, you are being overly concerned G.

The CW output of all microHAM keyers is an open collector NPN
transistor capable of handling +48V DC and at least 100 mA.  Unless
your key generated a negative voltage when it is open, there is no
issue connecting a straight key directly in parallel with the CW
output of any microHAM keyer.

Re: [Elecraft] Straight Key in parallel with PC keying

2013-09-12 Thread Sfbonk
Have an order in for a Winkeyer USB, had a few hangs doing direct computer CW 
with N1MM, so it was a question I was having. I usually do the straight key and 
a paddle into the K3 keyer. 

A related question, got a Signallink up and running last week. Unplugged the 
foot switch on the PTT line and was wondering if I could just do a Y off the 
PTT jack with the Signalink and foot switch. Good post on the diodes, have done 
that with amp keying for isolation.

That won't do what he claims which is to direct the signal *around* objects
like walls or people to reach  the device, especially if it's in your
pocket. 

I suspect he's a descendant of the entertaining guys who used to sell magic
elixir from the back of a wagon guaranteed to cure any ailment. The
difference would be that the guys with the elixir usually gave you something

Currently I manually switch between PC keying via a Microham Winkeyer 
which keys via N1MM and a straight key by unplugging and re-plugging in 
the back of the radio.  I have been reluctant to simply parallel the two 
by means of a Y cable for fear that sending with the straight key would 
place a direct short across the output of the winkeyer and wreak havoc 
on my winkeyer.   Am I being unduly concerned??  Or is there enough 
isolation built into the Winkeyer so that all will be well??   If I 
could use a Y cable I would have the PC, the paddle, and the straight 
key all available all the time which would be great.   Thanks in advance 
to all who respond.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Splitter for Loop RX Antenna ?

Thanks for posting this Pete!
Are you noticing any observable decrease in signal strength with vs
without the hybrid splitter?
If I understand correctly a power splitter with 2 outputs will give 3db
insertion loss.
An RF amp may be added to make up the loss.
I'm wondering how you would describe the signal loss, if you notice any?

Re: [Elecraft] [OT} Wireless chargers (or transmission of electrical energy by wireless methods.)

2013-09-12 Thread Edward R Cole
Probably unknown or forgotten was the NASA project to beam solar 
power from orbit to earth!  Yes, that was a real project (because I 
worked on it).  This was about 1972.  Experiments were made using the 
experimental station (DSS-13) at Goldstone Tracking Facility in the 
Mojave Desert.  I am not sure of the power transmitted but guess it 
was 20kW at 2115 MHz.  The receiving antenna was experimental made up 
of a huge array of rectennas.  Half-wave dipoles made with silicon 
rectifier diodes with their leads cut to resonate as a dipole.  The 
distance power was successfully transmitted was something  like 
30-miles with 30% power transfer.


I was working on the orbiting transmitter portion of the project 
which consisted of solar arrays encompassing square miles of area 
above earth in a geostationary orbit.  Individual solar panels would 
power 2.5 GHz magnetrons for transmission of RF power down to earth 
to the receiving 'rectenna arrays.  We actually modified some 
microwave oven magnetrons to proof the concept.  So the concept had 
thousands of solar panels feeding thousands of magnetrons in some 
kind of phased array beaming this huge amount of RF to the surface of 
the earth.


It was not cancelled by technical difficulties.  I was cancelled due 
to environmental issues:  airline pilots concerned about flying thru 
one these death rays and of course the bird people concerned about 
killing birds flying thru the beam.  I wonder how well it would work 
with RFI to the 2.4G wifi services of today?


Sidenote:  Testla is the unsung hero/wizard responsible for our AC 
power transmission industry.  His inventions were literally stolen by 
peers of his time.  It is a fascinating read into history of electrical power.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [OT} Wireless chargers (or transmission of
electrical energy by wireless methods.)

Don't forget an ancient experimenter that wanted to transmit energy:
considerable amounts, by wireless!!!  He wasn't stupid and was deadly
serious about this quest.  Read his history!

His name was Nikola Tesla who spent untold amounts of money trying to do
just this!  He wasn't successful except over very short distances and the
efficiency wasn't good.

So don't get your hopes up.

Tesla revolutionized the AC electric generation and transmission system
with Westinghouse bankrolling him and made the polyphase AC system the
cornerstone for all the systems on the grid today except for the small
amount solar and wind power contribute at this time.  There really isn't a
technology that will outdo steam turbine power generation except perhaps for
nuclear plants which can become runaway hazards as demonstrated by 6 Mile
Island and Chernobyl Russia meltdowns plus the tsunami upset nuclear plants
in Japan!  Engineers and ecologists still haven't found a way to safely
store spent nuclear fuel rods without them having the possibility of
becoming toxic and extremely dangerous in the future.

Transmitting megawatts of power versus just a few watts wirelessly are
horses of two completely different colors in spite of what the dreamers
say.

[Elecraft] [K3] Custom 700 Hz 8-Pole Filters -- A Possible Photo Finish

2013-09-12 Thread Gary W. Hvizdak
Ken and I are now accepting orders towards our fifth batch of 700 Hz INRAD
filters which is scheduled to ship in early November.  Coincidentally we
are now projecting that this next batch will sell out about the same date
it ships.  (A subsequent batch can be expected about 15 weeks after that
date, i.e. in the mid-February time­frame.)

If this batch doesn't sell out before it arrives, then any remaining
filters will almost surely disappear within a matter of hours of their
arrival!  Please visit http://www.unpcbs.com for full details, including:
ordering instructions; user comments; retail price; SH charges; passband
plot; FAQs; and app notes.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Splitter for Loop RX Antenna ?

2013-09-12 Thread Mike K2MK
Hi Duane,

I'll jump in with my 2 cents. I use the DXE-RSC-2 splitter from DX
Engineering for my Pixel RX loop. One leg goes to the KXV3A RX IN port for
the Main RX and the other leg goes to the AUX port for the SUB RX. I think
this is what the original poster was trying to accomplish. This would be in
non-diversity use. The DX ENGR unit has a 3db per port loss which I'm sure
is true. But we pretty much expect RX antennas to have somewhat lower gain
than our transmitting antenna. Their advantage is in improved signal to
noise ratio. We make adjustments for this by possibly not using the K3
attenuator or by using the K3 pre-amp. Or we use an external amplifier with
the RX antenna. By taking these steps an additional loss of 3db signal +
noise should not be a show stopper.

Mike K2MK

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Splitter for Loop RX Antenna ?

2013-09-12 Thread wb6rse1
A simple BNC T connector (IE wire-or) from the RX antenna to the KXV3A RX IN 
and to the AUX IN of the SUB RX works fine. No amplification necessary. In 
diversity RX, the Main RX switches to my TX vertical and the SUB RX swicthes to 
the RX Antenna - loop, beverage etc. I had first tried a Magic-T splitter but 
found it to be unnecssary vs the T.

It's wise to use a front end protector like an Array Solutions AS-RXFEP in line 
with the RX Antenna if it's close to the TX antenna. An Preamp like a KD9SV 
BF981 can also prove useful as well as an Array Solutions W3NQN brick wall 
Broadcast Band filter if local stations overload the front end on 160.

It's pretty annoying when an email or text or IM contains *so much*
malformed spew that I have to struggle and re-read several times to
transform it into something I can understand, but if I can apply quick
mental error correction with a minimum of effort, it's way easier to 'let
it go' than it is to gripe about it.​  I'm sure occasionally people even
transmit typos in CW.  Forgiveness and tolerance are pretty nice things.

Typos or improper spelling or the incorrect words are always inevitable.
Proper grammar errors are yet more likely.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: signature lines

While I can be forgiving for most of those kind of errors, it saddens me 
when I run across a communication from someone who is supposed to be 
teaching my grandchildren filled with incorrect usage of the language, 
including spelling errors, errors in sentence structure or syntax errors.


I have noticed that in newspaper quotes, emails, and 'official' school 
communications.  If those educators are either so sloppy to create such 
errors (or really do not understand the rules of the language), I get a 
negative impression of the level of communications skills that are being 
taught to our children.


That has nothing to do with the typos that are caused by 'keyboards' 
that are too small for fingers.

With the advent of messaging such as e-mail, conversation has moved from
the spoken to the written word, along with all of the mistakes one hears
daily in conversations.

I am careful when I write a formal letter. Here I'm talking and I often
notice, with a chuckle, how I sometimes mangle the English (or is it
American?) language.
