[Elecraft] CW Sidetone Pitch remote change
Hello how can I change the CW Sidetone Pitch via the remote interface? I want to set it to a absolute value e.g. 550Hz. Unfortunately the CW command is only for reading. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/CW-Sidetone-Pitch-remote-change-tp7590762.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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Re: [Elecraft] CW Sidetone Pitch remote change
If you were talking K2, then I was going to say it may be possible with SW command, but not really recommended since you may have to realign your filters. Then again, if you store the alignment values for different pitches in advance... But since you talk about KX3, then it seems you are indeed out of luck. I can understand why you might want to set the pitch programmatically if, for example, you are trying to fully automate the extended calibration/temperature compensation procedures. 73, Matt VK2RQ On 1 Jul 2014, at 5:53 pm, Rooby sdftrb4...@hotmail.de wrote: sorry forgot, KX3 -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/CW-Sidetone-Pitch-remote-change-tp7590762p7590764.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 Message delivered to matt.vk...@gmail.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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

[Elecraft] KX3 KXPA combo at Field Day
I wish to report in after our radio club Field Day with glowing results using the KX3 and KXPA-100 combo on CW operating as W1PBR from Thomaston, Maine. We were able to work over 700 QSOs using an OCF Dipole while another 100 watt radio was up in the phone band on 40 and 20 during our operation. The club had two OCF antennas up 40 ft end to end to minimize coupling. There was some desensing but not enough to prevent dual band operation to continue. I used N1MM with the SUCCI-R USB module to connect e the laptop to the KX3 and operated in both PTT or QSK with perfect connectivity. In addition to the regular laptop keyboard, I also used a separate function key pad programed to send the N1MM exchanges. This was a learning curve for to get it all working in a month before the event with N1MM which I'd never used before. Thanks to those who offered some steerage too.

Re: [Elecraft] Logging software advice
MacLoggerDX and MacLoggerDX HD (for the iPad) are the best loggers i've found for my Macs. Very visual and VERY easy to setup/use.

Re: [Elecraft] Logging software advice
I've looked at logging with an iPad and haven't found it satisfactory yet -- but I haven't tried a Piglet. Just what control does the Piglet allow with an iPad? (1) Can it fetch the frequency in use from the rig (K2 or KX3)? (I think yes.) (2) Can it enter a frequency from the iPad? (3) Can it send CW or PSK31 from the iPad? (I think no.) (4) Do different logging apps have different capabilities? For example, using iSDR with a KX3, can you tap on a signal and move the transmitting frequency to that? My impression is that the only way to send from an iPad is through the USB port, with something like an iMic in between, or playing audio into the rig's mic. Pretty kludgy.

Re: [Elecraft] Ameritron AL-811H and Elecraft K3
Very straight forward to use a tube based amplifier. I ran an AL80A for a year with the K3 before I took the expensive leap. RF out of the K3 into the amp - out of the amp into a tuner - out of the tuner into the antenna. A PTT line from the K3 to the amp. That is all you need. Be sure to turn off the K3's internal tuner, if so equipped. Be careful about over driving the 811A tubes. That last statement means _READ THE INSTRUCTIONS_. 500 Watts is 500 Watts, regardless if it comes from some old inexpensive tubes or from a very expensive solid state amp. Don't fall into the 700 Watts trap. The difference of an additional 200 Watts will never be noticed at the receiving end.

[Elecraft] K3 Front Panel Problem
Hi I have an issue with my K3. I keep the antennas physically disconnected here and the radio had not been turned on for a week or so. Turned it on last night and it initially worked fine. Made a few Qs on 6m. I then noticed that I could not switch the VFOs back and forth using the A/B button. Most of the buttons on the right hand side of the radio are dead. I cannot change band, but can change mode. Some buttons appear to be remapped. ie: the RX button turns the NB function on and off. The ANT button does the same thing for the NR function. The archives suggest this can be fixed by using the restore feature (Holding Low Cut/Nom knob and cycling the power). I tried that 9saving the config first), but no luck. The Norm button also does not seem to be functioning correctly (pushing the knob has no effect, but I can change the cut). Any ideas? Is there another to try a full restore? 73 Tim VE6SH This e-mail may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure.

Re: [Elecraft] Logging software advice
I have to agree with Sal, I've tried several Mac logging programs. HamLog is pretty darned good on the iPad and iPhone for quick logging when I'm not doing a lot and don't want to bother with a computer. But I use MacLoggerDX on my Mac and really like it a lot. It isn't a real contest logger, but worked quite nicely on Field Day when I managed 377 CW QSOs with just me and my K3 running 1E, not terribly seriously. I only had the USB/Serial cable connected for frequency/power/mode information for logging and an audio cable from the K3's line out to an iMic's input so I could run FLDIGI and run the CW decoder there as a backup to my ears... 73, Chuck, AA3CS On Jul 01, 2014, at 07:50 AM, Slava Baytalskiy sla...@nullserv.com wrote: MacLoggerDX and MacLoggerDX HD (for the iPad) are the best loggers i've found for my Macs.

[Elecraft] K3 speaker amp chip bites the dust again
I guess I've blown the speaker amp IC in my K3 again. This is the third time this has happened, twice in one radio and once in another. In this case, the radio had both the AF Output Mod Kit (pair of 470 ohm resistors) and the E85056 Audio Protection Assembly Circuit Board installed. I was operating on Field Day, with headphones, as I usually do, when some onlookers wanted to hear what was going on. I flipped SPKRS+PHONES=YES, then along came a strong signal, and poof! no speaker audio. AGC SLP was zero, and AGC THR was 020. Front panel AGC was FAST.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 speaker amp chip bites the dust again
With SLP=0 and THR=20 you have essentially *no* AGC action. That means nothing is protecting the audio amplifier from strong inputs. I leave it to Wayne or Lyle to calculate the overall gain from noise floor to maximum DSP output but if one has set the audio for comfort on a S4-S6 signal the audio amp is running along at roughly 1.5W into the speaker. When that S9+10 dB signal comes along and you have no AGC even if the audio amplifier is expected to produce only 20 dB more power, the 3.1W amplifier is going to die when asked to produce more than 150 W of peak power. 73, ...

I flipped SPKRS+PHONES=YES, then along came a strong signal, and poof! no speaker audio. AGC SLP was zero, and AGC THR was 020. Front panel AGC was FAST. This failure is really getting old, especially at $120 a pop to get it fixed.

[Elecraft] K3 speaker amp chip bites the dust again - CORRECTION!
My posting this morning about blowing the speaker amp chip was in error. Further investigation reveals that I actually blew out the K3's internal speaker. Ohmmeter measurement at the speaker terminals shows that the coil is wide open. This is really good news, because the speaker is easily replaceable in the field. It's also good news because it points out the efficacy of the E85056 protection mod. My apologies for making a wrong assumption. The symptoms were exactly the same as the two previous failures of the speaker amp.

Re: [Elecraft] Possible phase noise question...
One issue that someone obliquely mentioned in the various replies that I feel requires greater emphasis, is that the SignaLink USB box is, first and foremost, a sound card and as such requires a great deal more current than a typical USB device and should be plugged into a *powered* USB hub. Granted, the power supplies for various powered USB hubs are likely to be noisy (from the perspective of us hams, anyway), and may need further treatment (chokes, bypass capacitors, etc.). But if your SignaLink USB is plugged directly into your laptop or desktop, know that it's drawing more current than the USB (3.0) spec allows, and that may be a significant contributor to the noise problems being reported in this thread. 73 de N1HO __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
[Elecraft] iMic with iSDR on iPad4
Bought a KX3 in June Trying to use the iSDR app on an iPad 4 to get portable panadapter functionality. Bought a Lighting to USB Camera adapter (Apple Brand) at Best Buy Bought a Griffin iMic on Amazon because I couldn't find it at Best Buy or Frys. Plugged in to iPad 4. After a few second get a message stating This accessory is not supported by this iPad Tried a flash drive with the USB adapter and got same message. Don't have any other Apple accessories. Tested the iMic on a Windows computer and it is functional. Is this combo working for anybody reading this list? Are there other components that will work? Is there a way to search the archives?

Re: [Elecraft] iMic with iSDR on iPad4
I have the KX3, iMic, USB lightning adaptor, and iPad Air. They all work together fine. I have used the iMic and adaptors starting with the original iPad, iPad2, iPad3, and now Air, it has worked on all of them. I have been using them for a few years now, including with the old 30-pin adaptors. I used them this last weekend during some software testing. Maybe your lightning USB adaptor or iMic is bad? Do you have someone locally to test with? We've also been working with Digital Confections to allow tuning the KX3 via the iPad with the Piglet/Pigtail devices. 73, Terry, WB4JFI -Original Message- From: Nr4c Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2014 10:09 PM To: Jenn Hughes Cc: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] iMic with iSDR on iPad4 I think it worked up thru iPad-3.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Front Panel Problem
Check to see if you have corroded pins on the front panel. Elecraft has a mod for older K3's that switch them to all gold pins to prevent this. You can always take the front panel off, and reseat them. Keith KB9WMJ - Original Message - From: Ellam, Timothy St. J. tel...@mccarthy.ca To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2014 11:58 AM Subject: [Elecraft] K3 Front Panel Problem Hi I have an issue with my K3. I keep the antennas physically disconnected here and the radio had not been turned on for a week or so. Turned it on last night and it initially worked fine. Made a few Qs on 6m. I then noticed that I could not switch the VFOs back and forth using the A/B button. Most of the buttons on the right hand side of the radio are dead. I cannot change band, but can change mode. Some buttons appear to be remapped. ie: the RX button turns the NB function on and off. The ANT button does the same thing for the NR function. The archives suggest this can be fixed by using the restore feature (Holding Low Cut/Nom knob and cycling the power). I tried that 9saving the config first), but no luck. The Norm button also does not seem to be functioning correctly (pushing the knob has no effect, but I can change the cut). Any ideas? Is there another to try a full restore? 73 Tim VE6SH This e-mail may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure.
