[Elecraft] K3 + SLUSB + Mac = JT9 Help Needed

2013-12-23 Thread Jim Bennett
Hi All -

I know this is a stretch but I'm wondering if there are any folks on this 
reflector who are using a Mac computer with their K3, a SignaLink USB, and have 
had success with the installation and operation of WSJT-X for Mac OS? I'd like 
to run JT9 and if possible, avoid having to run the Windows version under 
VMware Fusion and Windows XP. There is a native OS X version of WSJT-X; I've 
downloaded it and followed the installation instructions. I can get the program 
to start up but this is my first exposure to WSJT and I'm pretty lost. I'd like 
to have the K3's frequency displayed on the WSJT screen, but I'm kinda (no, 
totally) lost as to how to set up the configuration, especially in the CAT 
area. 

Jeeze, the first steps into a new mode like this certainly are a wakeup call as 
to how far behind the curve one is...! :-(

Please reply on or off list if you can help.

Regards, Jim / W6JHB
Folsom, CA (three miles from The Big House)

[Elecraft] KX3 IQ using NaP3

2013-12-23 Thread Al Sather

Greetings All

I am trying to set up my KX3 to produce a band scope/waterfall display 
using NaP3 (v2.2.4.3).


My system includes  a laptop running Win 7 Home Premium with a Intel 
Core i3 CPU at 1.33 GHz with 4.00 (3.68usable) GB of memory and a 64-bit 
OS. The modem I use is a USB E-Mu 0204 with the ASIO drivers supplied 
with the E-Mu 0204. The ASIO drivers appear to work better than the MME 
drivers.


I have 3 questions--

1. Do I need to set up frequency or global offsets.?
I cannot find any reference in the KX3 manual or Fred's wonderful 
little book. My experience is that NaP3 appears to ignore offset values 
for the KX3.


2. Do I need to worry about the balance between the I and Q channels.
My under standing is NaP3 does that, using WBIR. Furthmore, when I 
play with the input levels on the E-Mu 2040, the display reacts, and 
then returns to where it was.


3.  How does WBIR work?
   I am not convinced that I understand how to set up WBIR, and whether 
or not it is actually working for me. My displays is full of images and 
other noise, and the strong stations that I know are there are not visible.


A couple of observations--
I use commercial AM radio stations  (730, 980 and 1040 KHz) to do the 
training, but I have problems ridding the display of images. Also, I 
cannot see the AM stations on the band scope (perhaps I can on the 
waterfall, but I suspect it is mostly my imagination). But, when I click 
on the frequency, it centres and I can see the station, but not other 
stations. This is often true on SSB, as well.


My real success occurred when I left my station on while I went for 
lunch and did not get back to it for a couple or so hours. Most of the 
images were gone, even when I switched to 80M SSB. Also stations started 
appear on both the scope and waterfall.  I have not been able to repeat 
this success. So, it does not appear that NaP3 had not saved WBIR 
adaption. When I started up my system the following day, I was back to 
my issues.


I am looking for suggestions as to how to properly setup this system. I 
know it is possible, since I did it once.

[Elecraft] Problems with CW sidetone

2013-12-23 Thread Martin Kratoska
I have some problems with my CW sidetone. When a strong (enormous) noise 
or QRM occurs then my sidetone through QSK sounds too soft, rounded, 
which complicates CW operation  40 wpm. I dislike semi-QSK, I would 
prefer QSK with more distinguished sidetone with sharp edges (~ more 
clicky), my aging ears also need a bit more volume. Is somewhere 
possible to affect the sidetone in this way?

I use N1MM and have no experience setting up Wintest.  However if you 
are attempting to key the K3 on the serial CAT port, you need to do the 
following:


1.  Set Wintest to send CW on RTS

2.  In the PTT-KEY menu on the K3 [TECH MD has to be ON], set it to put 
CW on rtS.


You can also set up PTT on DTR if you want semi-QSK, I run full QSK and 
don't use the PTT signal, and I key the K3 with a WinKeyUSB keyer.  if 
you're using an external keyer, Wintest will need to know the COM port 
number of the keyer and to direct CW to that port.


Maybe you've already been through all this.

[Elecraft] ]KX3] Another Dear Santa letter

2013-12-23 Thread Richard Patrick
Greetings,

My Holiday Season gift for my friend, my KX3, is The BUG mode as one of the
CW keying options.

Currently, KX3 provides me with Iambic A or B and HAND.  Having the BUG
option would sure be nice for us old timers to step into the good old days
using the KX3s paddle.  Also, there's some of out here in radio land who
prefer a BUG vs Iambic.

It seems to me that the Elecraft Santas and supporting Elves can make this
happen just as easy as... adding the Heil Dynamic Mic option... with a
software upgrade sometime soon.

Anyone else interested in the BUG CW option?

Thanks and Seasons Greetings to all,

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and WinTest CW setup

2013-12-23 Thread Richard Ferch
Fred, as far as N1MM Logger is concerned you have DTR and RTS backwards. 
N1MM Logger supports CW keying on DTR of a serial port but not on RTS, 
whereas it supports PTT switching on either DTR or RTS.


If you want to use CW keying on the K3's radio control port, you would 
configure N1MM Logger to use DTR on that port for CW, and set the K3's 
CONFIG:PTT-KEY to OFF-DTR. If you also want to use that port for 
hardware TX/RX switching, you would also configure N1MM Logger to use 
RTS on the same port for PTT, and set the K3's CONFIG:PTT-KEY to RTS-DTR.


I don't know whether Wintest supports CW keying on the same serial port 
that is used for radio control (not all software supports this 
capability). If it does, the above configuration should work. If it does 
not, you can connect a simple keying interface (transistor keying 
circuit) between another serial port (or USB-to-serial adapter) and the 
K3's Key In jack, again using DTR for CW, and RTS for PTT if desired, 
and configure the software to use that second serial port for CW and/or 
PTT. In this case you would set the K3's CONFIG:PTT-KEY to OFF-OFF, and 
set DTR and RTS in the configuration for the radio control COM port to 
Always Off.


For a more flexible and powerful solution, you can connect a K1EL 
Winkeyer or WKUSB between the computer and the K3's Key In jack and 
configure the software to use that. It will be on a different COM port 
than the radio control port.

Rich VE3KI

Fred Jensen wrote:


I use N1MM and have no experience setting up Wintest.  However if you
are attempting to key the K3 on the serial CAT port, you need to do the
following:

1.  Set Wintest to send CW on RTS

2.  In the PTT-KEY menu on the K3 [TECH MD has to be ON], set it to put
CW on rtS.

You can also set up PTT on DTR if you want semi-QSK, I run full QSK and
don't use the PTT signal, and I key the K3 with a WinKeyUSB keyer.  if
you're using an external keyer, Wintest will need to know the COM port
number of the keyer and to direct CW to that port.

I used to let N1MM key the K3 on DTR and honestly, it worked fine nearly 
100% of the time.  Every now and then, unpredictable, Windoze would 
decide it had some little task that was more important than running my 
program and I'd get semi-CW at 130WPM for a second or so.



For a more flexible and powerful solution, you can connect a K1EL
Winkeyer or WKUSB between the computer and the K3's Key In jack and

That's what I finally did.  Don't even have a paddle plugged into the WKUSB.

Re: [Elecraft] Fwd: Speakers audio is gone

2013-12-23 Thread Joe Subich, W4TV


The main board already has capacitors between the audio amplifier and
speaker switching on the KIO3 board.  The capacitors - C2 and C3, 470
uF each - don't prevent accidental overload of the audio amplifier if
the output is shorted.  With an impedance of less than 0 - j0.5 Ohms
at 1 KHz, they simply can't do the job.

The smart thing to do would be to replace L14 and L16 on the KIO3 Audio
IO Board with 1.2 Ohm to 2.2 Ohm resistors.  Although 2.2 Ohms would
result roughly 2dB less maximum output (with 4 Ohm speakers), the
slight decrease would certainly be worthwhile to protect the audio
amplifier.

   ... Joe, W4TV

Gary,

It seems that that is one adapter that 'does it right'.  Many do not and
connect the ring of the stereo plug to the sleeve when a mono jack is
inserted, thus grounding the right channel.  That is typical of the 1/8
inch to 1/4 inch adapters.

Re: [Elecraft] Fwd: Speakers audio is gone

2013-12-23 Thread Gary NL7Y
Enough drama already. For $1.99 I bought the recommended Radio Shack P/N
274-0375 1/8 dual mono jack to 1/8 stereo Y-adapter. Now I can op my
stereo head set and play the current mono speaker w/o smoking the radio. It
does fit the I/O board with everything next to it occupied. 

I decided to go that route rather than making up a special purpose dual mono
cable  stereo plug. I have a second receiver and plan stereo speakers. Now
at will I can add a second unit and just plug it into the adapter. 

Or, just run one in Contests, DX, or at Field Day for bystanders. Speakers +
Phone = Yes and all work plus AFX. Press off on the speaker (IC SP 20) and
it's headset only.

For the price of the adapter, it or similar should come with the radio and
end this potential 'short and warning label' nonsense. Not everybody is like
me and lives a mile from a parts supplier, and new owners may not be aware
of the potential for damage until...

73, Gary NL7Y

Re: [Elecraft] Fwd: Speakers audio is gone

2013-12-23 Thread Ray Sills

Hi Gary:

On the Radio Shack website, it's now priced at 97 cents and that  
means that it's being closed out.  So, if someone needs that item, now  
is the time to try to get it.

[Elecraft] No Subject emails

2013-12-23 Thread Kevin Luxford

Hi Guys,

Just to let you know that I get concerned when I see emails to the list 
with no subject.  I have had quite a few malicious emails from members 
whose accounts have been hacked so that when I see No subject in 
Mailwasher, I just delete them without opening.  I do not wish to cause 
offence, but I can not take the risk, especially with Cryptolocker 
ransomware around.


Seasons greetings to all

[Elecraft] [KX3] Morse Practice

2013-12-23 Thread Gary Hawkins

I've just received my KX3 Morse key.

Now, I'm only just learning Morse so my Morse is horrible and often gaps 
appear which are longer than the word gaps the decoder is expecting.  As 
soon as this happens the VOX B display almost immediately changes from 
decoding characters to displaying frequency.  This is a little off 
putting although obviously the KX3 is telling me my Morse is horrible.


Is there a way of setting a delay so this does not happen so frequently, 
or better still to stop it switching back at all to frequency while I'm 
practicing?

Another product offering dual 1/8 mono input to single 1/8 stereo out.
Search: Hosa YMM-261 Y adapter

There's got to be others as well.
