[Elecraft] K3 and Y-cable E980190
Hi all, Can someone confirm if the K3 Y-cable/E980190 is similar as standard VGA y-adapter ( e.g. in below link) or is there some differences from wiring point of view? http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Monitor-Splitter-Foot/dp/B005H3I38G 73 de Jukka - OH2MA __ 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] Power adapter for KX1
Ladies and Gents: I am thinking about getting a KX1 kit for a mini-DXpedition to Bonaire (PJ4) early next year. I think that and an Array Solutions PS-12R1A wall wart power supply plus an EndFedZ 40/20 antenna should be a nice little package that will easily fit in a backpack. That power supply should get nearly all of the 4W output as well. The primary reason for going is SCUBA, but you can’t dive all day/night … Long story short, I also have a Ten Tec 506 Rebel. I can use the same PS on both if the adapter is the right size. SO, what is the adapter size for external power on the KX1 … I think that’s part J1 in the schematics. 2.1mm? 2.5mm? Thanks in advance. I’ve looked at the KX1 documentation. I can’t find anything except “J1 … and no post size. gene WG7GW __ 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] k3 and rms express-.Help needed.
I seem to be hit and miss with RMS Express and my K3. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't... ok, part of the problem is that I also use my KX3 with RMS express. Both have worked in the past - until I fiddle with one of the settings! Which one? I have no idea! Does anyone have the RMS/K3/KX3 settings that they can share with me? My setup is as follows: K3: line in/ line out via griffin Imic sound card (using a netbook without a mic in) data mode KX3 using a signall link USB. data mode. Thanks for reading this.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and Y-cable E980190
It is often not the same. What is required is all 15 pins wired straight thru. Many SVGA cables and some Ys are not wired this way.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and Y-cable E980190
There was much discussion about this when the tuner and amp came out. Many of the standard via cables have several pins wired together and will not work. I wired a couple on connectors in parallel in the output side of my hb RTTY interface. Helps reduce cable clutter.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and Y-cable E980190
Hi Joe et all, Thanks for all of the answers! Its clear now; there is Y-splitters which are not OK for K3 usage as all 15pins should be wired 1:1, and this not the case with all VGA Y-splitters. Good thing is that there is also available those which are OK, but should be checked first that they are 1:1 whith each of the pins. Also one good product is the breakout board, which could be esily wired for diffrent purposes. I think I will get one Y-splitter and also breakout-board for test purposes. 73 de jukka - OH2MA 21:12, Joe Subich, W4TV kirjoitti: The K3 requires all 15 pins be wired through and none connected together.

[Elecraft] K3 and HRD CW Decode
Bands pretty lousy today, but heard a weak YR10RRO on 17M. Noise level about an S5 to 7. I was using DM780 and the WinKeyer option for sending as my fist is not good due to arthritis. When I looked up at the decode screen on DM780 it was doing a very good job. So I began to play with the settings for bandwidth and squelch and it was doing a really good job. After reading some of the comments lately on the K3 CW decoder, I decided I would do some playing with it as well. YR10RRO was gone but ZF35LC was there and I am pleased to say, the K3 was doing a good job as well. So again I began to play with the available settings and by adjusting the threshold and bandwith, I found it to do a really good job. All of the above was done with slow AGC. I suspect further improvement would be possible by running with AGC off and reducing the RF gain to improve the S/N ratio. Like virtually all of the decoders I have tried from CWGET on to the present, it takes a character or two for the software to lock on. After that, the results were very good. I probably would give the edge to HRD with DM780, but the K3 was hanging in there, perfectly acceptable as far as I am concerned were I an CW OP looking for a bit of help. The lineup here is a K-Line with a Navigator interface and I will have to give credit to the Navigator as well for its very low noise CODEC. Just thought some might be interested so thought I would pass it on. 73s Jim, W4ATK __ 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
