[Elecraft] ACC2 PTT 2.25/1.30 bug?

2014-10-18 Thread David - KI4UVC
Love my KX3 but ran into some strange behavior as of late with some hangs.

Running MCU 2.25 / DSP 1.30 when trying to change ACC2IO settings, when I
turn VFOA to LO=Ptt the unit hangs on the LO=Ptt option - display freezes at
LO=Ptt and I can't PWR off using ATU/BAND-.

I've tried re-flashing MCU/DSP firmware with KX3 utility and even tried
EEINIT reset - still the same hanging on ACC2IO menu.

Anyone else having this issue?
Any ideas for a fix?

TIA.

73's

[Elecraft] Adjusting Filters (K3 newbie)

2014-10-18 Thread Brian Short
 I am confused about the filters and the bandwidth display...

I get a display that has 2 bars on far left and right.

The Bandwidth widens and narrows the bars in the middle, 
but the bars stay at the edges? Like this:

|   ||   |

narrows to

| || |

but, why not

 || 

or

|   

only?

I have 1kHz, 500Hz, and 200Hz filters.

I am making QSOs etc, but seems strange.

Confused?

David,

What do you have connected to the ACC2IO jack?  Is there possibly 
anything there that could be holding that signal to ground?

[Elecraft] Digikeyer Connection to K3

2014-10-18 Thread Brian Short
I own a Digikeyer and acquired a second for the K3, used.

Having trouble with the install.  Win7 recognized the device,
but only the USB Hub and Digikeyer devices.  The Codecs
are not recognized, specifically.

I checked the jumpers to ensure RS-232 for the serial ports
and that part works.

My original Digikeyer when plugged in causes drivers for
all devices to load.

The used one only finds the USB Hub and Microham Digikeyer
(no CODECs nor 2 other drivers).

Is it something I am doing?

Re: [Elecraft] Digikeyer Connection to K3

The proper venue for individual microHAM support is "supp...@microham.com"

> The used one only finds the USB Hub and Microham Digikeyer
> (no CODECs nor 2 other drivers).

There are only three USB devices in the original microHAM Digikeyer:
one sound device - USB Audio CODEC, "Generic USB Hub" and "microHAM
USB Device".  If you see "Generic USB Hub" and "microHAM USB Device"
appear/disappear in Windows Device Manager as you connect/disconnect
the USB cable the only issue is Windows recognition of the CODEC.

Check for any '?' devices.

Configure Device Manager to show hidden/disconnected devices,

Disconnect any microHAM devices,

uninstall any hidden/disconnected (gray) USB Audio CODEC, Generic
USB Hub, and microHAM USB Devices and '?' devices that appear in
Device Manager.

Reboot (cold) or Restart Windows

Reconnect the microHAM devices and Windows should install the
necessary drivers.

[Elecraft] K1 IF Amp Mod?

2014-10-18 Thread Curt
I thought the K1 was the commercial version of the Sierra.  Didn't the 
Sierra predate Elecraft?


BTW, the K1 is about the neatest QRP radio I own, even above my K2.  I've 
built boards for every band 80M-10M, especially enjoy working from the patio 
@ 1W into an EFHW on 20M.  It's my "go to" rig for QRP contests.

[Elecraft] High vertical

2014-10-18 Thread Vic Rosenthal K2VCO/4X6GP
I have an apartment on the top floor of a 10-story building with a small 
roof area accessible and restrictions on antenna size. I asked for 
advice here about antennas, and got a lot of suggestions and help, so I 
thought I would post my results.


I put up an R8 vertical on a small building (containing my shack) that 
sits on the roof. The base of the antenna is about 35m above the ground. 
It sits on a 1m tall mast which is connected to the roof with a 
hinge-type mount and is guyed at two levels with 4 PES marine ropes at 
each level.


The feedline is about 10m of RG/213. I used two homemade ferrite chokes, 
one near the antenna and one at the entrance to the shack, because I was 
concerned about RFI and receive noise.


Results so far have been, in a word, great! I seem to be able to work 
anything I can hear, mostly with my barefoot K3. I have only used my amp 
a few times. I am getting good reports and breaking pileups right and 
left (all this on CW, of course).


The antenna is not as bad as I thought it would be for receive noise, 
but it is not as clean as my Pixel Loop, which is exceptionally quiet.


My experience with similar antennas at lower heights was not as good 
(yes, my call makes me DX for some, but not for the DXpeditions whose 
pileups I get through on the first or second call). All in all, life 
without a beam can be very enjoyable if you can put a vertical up high 
enough.

[Elecraft] KX1 and Anker LION battery

2014-10-18 Thread Jim Leder (Hotmail)
I use an Elecraft KX1 and an Anker Astro Pro2 LION battery when I go QRP in the 
field. The combination works very well, and allows me to run the KX1 at the 
full 3 watt level. However, the last two times I used this arrangement, I had 
the Anker battery shut down on me. It would power right back up, but , still, 
it was disconcerting. After finally reading about the battery and doing some in 
house testing, I finally figured out that the KX1 draws such little current 
while idling (good thing), that it fooled the battery enough that the Anker's 
auto shut off (also a good thing, if you are actually charging a device) kicked 
in. I didn't want this, so I started toying with the KX1 to see if I could make 
it draw enough current while idling. What I finally ended up doing was turning 
on the small LED light and leaving it on while operating. So far, the battery 
has been staying on. Not an elegant solution, but SEEMS to work. Anyone have a 
better idea on how to defeat the auto shutoff of
  this battery? I have not yet queried Anker about this, but that's next.
But, as I mentioned up front, this combination works very well and I am very 
pleased with the results.

[Elecraft] FS: K2 with seperate amp/tuner and K1.

2014-10-18 Thread edward kacura via Elecraft
I'm downsizing since retirement earlier this year, will be on the road with the 
travel trailer. These item need a new home instead of sitting packed away. I 
have my KX3, PX3 along with the KXPA 100, it all fits nicely in the trailer.

The K2, s/n 6576, was built in late 2011 by Dale Putnam WC7S, with the complete 
Rework Eliminator kit.
Installed in it are SSB option, Antenna tuner, KDSP2 filter with clock, KIO2 
RS-232 interface, KBT2 battery kit, no battery. There's an unbuilt noise 
blanker. There's a weighted VFO knob installed, and an extra top cabinet panel 
with speaker installed.

All the manuals included, along with a MH-2 hand mic and headset adapter. 
There's two unopened Rework Eliminator kits, KXPD1 clamp for the KX1 paddles to 
mount to the K2 bail, a cable for connecting the NUE-PSK modem (modem not 
included).

In a separate enclosure is the KPA/KAT 100 amp/tuner with cables to hook to the 
K2. Both radio and amp are in great condition. Asking $1500.00 for the package, 
new this would cost almost $2400.00.

The K1, s/n 2945, covers 40/30/20/15 meters, has the antenna tuner installed 
along with the Back Light mod and a weighted knob like the K2 installed. Asking 
$450.00 for the K1.

I will double box and insure, and pay the shipping, only lower 48 thou, no 
overseas. Paypal, or money order works for me. You will get two boxes with the 
K2.

As with all used electronic equipment, there's no return or refund. You will 
get working radios when they leave me.

Contact me off-line at ekac...@yahoo.com, or call my cell and leave a msg. 
520-490-5395. ( I don't always hear the cell with my hearing aids)

Thanks and 73,

Just received my PX3,

Power cable has no fuse so I cannot hook up to my 50 amp supply What cord
do I need to purchase?

My main concern is I can not see a signal on it that I am listening to on
the KX3.  I see spikes and noise floor but no signals. I can adjust DISP,
Average REF, SCALE, SPAN. Must be some things I need to adjust in MENU but
not sure what.  I really do not know what I am doing with this.  Never had
a spectrum analyzer or messed with any signal displays before.

Re: [Elecraft] ACC2 PTT 2.25/1.30 bug?

2014-10-18 Thread Don Wilhelm

David,

I did not have my brain fully in gear on this situation before.  The 
GPIO input is just that - an input to a 3 volt logic device with only a 
500 ohm series resistor.  So there is nothing to make it either a high 
nor a low level.  In the digital world it is known as a 'floating input' 
and without some other (external) hardware addition, it may appear to be 
either at a high or a low level depending on the "shifting of the winds 
in the desert"
Sooo - that may be a normal response when a LO function is used on the 
GPIO input signal.
Take note of the part in the menu instructions saying that some external 
interface circuitry may be required.


The GPIO input has no pullup resistor to 3 volts to keep it high - that 
means the voltage just floats at whatever it happens to be.  If that 
voltage happens to be below the logic threshold for a LO level, the 
function will become active when that menu option is selected - and will 
happen with nothing connected to the GPIO input. (The same might happen 
when HI is selected in the menu too).


The solution is to bring that input level to a high state with an 
external pullup resistor.  One end of the resistor goes to a voltage 
source (ideally 3 volts, but up to 5.5 volts will be tolerated.  The 
other end of the resistor goes to the GPIO input (ACC2 connector tip) - 
and oh yes, the negative of the source powering it would connect to the 
connector shell.  Two AA battery cells in series and a 33K resistor 
should work nicely and the batteries should last a long time.


Then your PTT switch, footpedal, etc. would place a short between the 
ACC2 connector tip and shell when it is active.


Note also that if you make the GPIO menu selections for either HI or LO, 
that condition may become active any time the plug is removed from the 
ACC2 jack.  In other words, you must connect an external high or low 
logic level before turning the KX3 on.


You may find it easier to build an adapter and use the microphone jack 
PTT input which has an internal pullup resistor which assures a high 
state when the PTT circuit is open or inactive.

David,
Contact KX3support(at)elecraft.com to see if they can offer any 
additional wisdom.  If it has to go back to Elecraft for work, that 
contact at support is the starting place to obtain an RSA.

Nothing is connected to ACC2 currently - I was mucking around with menu
settings.

I tried reverting back to MCU2.23 and am having the same issue - radio hangs
at any change in ACC2 settings.

I didn't have this issue until I did the Extended Temp Calibration routine.
Radio is in the low 6000 s/n range - has all internal options except for 2m.

Might have to send back to Elecraft for some brain surgery...

[Elecraft] KX3 TX Problem

2014-10-18 Thread n8ag
My brother, W8TXT, has a problem with his KX3. In PTT, when he presses XMIT, 
the KX3 puts out 3 or 4 watts with the cw key still open. When the closes the 
CW key it puts out 10 to 12 watts and stays at that level. In LSB, he hits PTT 
and gets the same 3 to 4 watts out without an mic audio. Sometimes the KX3 
power out on the display agrees with his watt meter. At other times he does not 
see any power out indication on the KX3 display. In VOX he gets the same 
results however, he does see a quick "High Current" message flash up very 
quickly on the display when he keys it. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 TX Problem

2014-10-18 Thread Walter Underwood
Does he want to use CW or voice mode? If he wants to use voice, the mic will 
pick up whatever is in the room and transmit it.

Also, if he wants to operate with voice, he really needs to set it up with the 
steps on page 15 of the manual. Really.
