[Elecraft] XG3 set up
Please advise editing frequency memories: I've set new freqs, (out of amateur bands) then Apply, but response is no response to frequency memory query (M) I have the unit switched on. The utility seems to be fixated on using COM5, though I've tried all 3 USB ports on my laptop XG3 status revision 01.14.RS232 speed 9600 bit/s What's the trick I'm missing? 73 David G3UNA __ 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] [K3] 700 Hz 8-Pole Filters (are now in stock)
The 700 Hz filters just arrived! Most are already sold but a handful are still available for purchase. Demand tends to fluctuate widely, so we can't provide an accurate guess as to how quickly they might sell out. (It might be hours, or it might be weeks.) Please visit http://www.unpcbs.com/ for full details. 73, Gary KI4GGX (webmaster) P.S. It's too soon to say with certainty, but most likely a next batch wouldn't arrive before February. __ 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] Elecraft SSB net results for 10/13/13
We had a good net last Sunday with 30 participants - 1/3 QRP. A high point for me was working W8ZT, Rick, in WV. I have been net control for almost five years and still had not had a WV check-in.

[Elecraft] KX2???
I saw the word KX2 in one of Eric's emails to the list. What is a KX2 and when?

Re: [Elecraft] KX2???
It is a typo for either a KX1 or a KX3, depending on the context of the message. 73, Lyle KK7P I saw the word KX2 in one of Eric's emails to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Current Drain When Off
I would suspect a display problem with the Watts Up ... I pulled out my Fluke and an adapter I had made years ago for a current probe and measured both radios. Both are drawing 4 mA when off... I had a 'current drawn when off' incident a few years ago myself. K3 'current when off' was over 1 amp when measured with a Watts Up right at the back of the K3. The problem turned out to be an anomalous reading on the Watts Up, caused by an IC-756 ProIII that was running, mounted on the shelf above the K3. The HV from the display was affecting the reading of the Watts Up. I turned the Pro3 off, and the reading on the Watts Up dropped to around the 4ma mark.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Current Drain When Off
That only explains the apparent drain of several amperes Jim noticed. There is still a static drain of nearly 40 mA when the K3 is off. That was measured by at last two or three of us. I used a DMMs inserted in the power supply line. The 38 mA parasitic drain on mine is almost entirely to the KPA3 module. It is always connected to the dc input. Current to it does not flow through the dc control circuitry operated by the K3's Power switch. Disconnecting the KPA3 at the circuit breaker stopped the parasitic current flow. Wayne reported, Every K3 we've tested drops to a very small number of milliamps of current drain when off. I'm not sure whether the 38 mA I measure fits in that small number of milliamps criteria, but it's never been an issue for me since I turn off the 13.8 V power supply when I leave the shack. 73 Ron AC7AC -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Ralph Parker Sent: Friday, October 18, 2013 12:41 PM To: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 Current Drain When Off I would suspect a display problem with the Watts Up ...

[Elecraft] Solar update need information on KPA500
I am looking to upgrade my solar panels and battery bank to be able to order and use a kpa500 amp. I wanted to know if anyone had one and a kil-a-watt meter if they could take some readings for me? I wanted to know how many watts it pulls in off, stand-by, operate, and at full power out. Thank you I sure appreciate anyone helping me. I want to plan ahead and not find out in real world and possibly be out of power one night. lol Thanks Gerald - KC6CNN - Gerald K2 # 5486 K3 # 6254 KX3 # 757 -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Solar-update-need-information-on-KPA500-tp757.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

If you're talking about me, the false readings I was getting from the Watts Up meter were in the range of 40 mA, and a Fluke measured 4 mA in the positive lead. There may, however, be something happening on the negative lead that is causing the false readings. I don't have a fixture yet to put a Fluke there. I should do that. 73, Jim 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] Solar update need information on KPA500
Hey Gerald, I could have used a forward-thinker like you on my combat comm team a long time ago. :-) I hope those who can make the measurements will post them, my test equipment won't handle the KPA500. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2014 Cal QSO Party 4-5 Oct 2014 - www.cqp.org On 10/18/2013 4:38 PM, KC6CNN wrote: Thank you I sure appreciate anyone helping me.

[Elecraft] KX3 turn on Dual RX in menu
I went to MENU. DUAL RX is OFF. Both a and b vfo are within 10 kc on 40 M SSB How to I change OFF to AUTO? I have never tried this before. Manual just says do it. Narrow filter is installed but should be disabled by SSB mode. I need the magic switch? Direct please so I do not have to wait for the Digest.
