[Elecraft] [KX3] RX I/Q signals "reversed" on 2m
That's interesting, the RX I/Q signal lines appear to be "reversed" when operating the KX3 on 2m. I guess this makes sense, if you consider the 2m module is using the "x4" output of the KX3's local oscillator, so that if you tune to 144MHz for example, the LO would be running at 48MHz, so that in the 2m module the 144Mhz signal would be mixed with a 4x48=192MHz signal. This would place the "USB" image at 192+144=336MHz, which is discarded, and then place the "LSB" image (192-144) at 48MHz, which is then downshifted to 0MHz by the 48MHz LO in the main receiver. Because the LSB image is the one that is used, the frequencies appear "reversed" when you look at then on the I/Q output. By swapping the I & Q signals, you can effectively "reverse" the frequencies a second time, and get a normal display on the waterfall. Of course, this is taken care of automatically in the PX3 :-) 73, Matt VK2RQ __ 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] KPA500 fault at H44KW (no pwr high SWR)
I just found out that there's a Rework Kit E850607 for the KPA500. It replaces Q5 (a FET) with a Darlington Transistor. The kit also includes a Zener Diode, resistors and capacitors and includes changes to the 12 meter LP filter. The kit applies to board REV D9 or earlier. - Jack WA9FVP Sent from my TRS-80 :-) -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KPA500-fault-at-H44KW-no-pwr-high-SWR-tp7570161p7594371.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] [KX3] RX I/Q signals "reversed" on 2m
Of course, this is taken care of automatically in the PX3 :-) Many of the better "SDR Console" software packages include a configuration option to "swap I/Q above 'N' MHz" ... works for KX3 on 144 MHz and K3 on 50 MHz. 73, ...

[Elecraft] KPA500 is always warmed up
I bet this has been asked and answered before. My new amp works perfectly. Another engineering masterpiece from Elecraft. Is it normal for the amp to be warm all the time whether it is on or off? Mine feels warm on the bottom and shows about 32C when everything else in the shack is 24C to 26C.

Mine feels warm on the > bottom and shows about 32C when everything else in the shack is 24C to 26C. I have not turned mine over to see how warm it is with the front panel power switch off. Remember, it is normally left in the position of having the rear switch turned on. There is a power supply that may be heating your bottom hot spot, but I'll let the official word come from Wayne or someone else on that. I can't turn mine over to see, since it is hooked up to many cables. On the other hand, I've checked mine many times on the sides, front, and top to see if there are any warm spots. I use an IR thermometer, so it is extremely easy and fast. Mine is always room temp unless I'm "heating it up". I also have a thermometer in the exhaust fan "cage" to keep an eye on that temperature, and I monitor temp on the amp's digital readout at all times I'm using it. If there is any condition or location (other than the bottom) that I can measure for you, spell out the conditions and I'll do it. I use it daily.

All bands 18 and over, if I move the dial, the frequency display of MixW moves as expected, and any signals move in the opposite direction of the display, and do NOT stay under the frequency shown, they move, as if the signal is changing frequency.

[Elecraft] P3 Span limits in Fixed Tune mode
I generally operate CW at 20KHz spans, with the bottom edge of the screen at an even 20 KHz boundary. Seems to work well, occasionally I'll find it different, not sure why. In SS CW, I noticed that my lower span boundary was often 5 KHz up from the normal value ... such as 14025. It seemed to happen more when I was using the N1MM Band Map and clicking on spots, which sends frequency change commands to the K3. This is not a big deal, I just sort of like the bottom of the band to be at the bottom of the P3 span, but I can't find any other reason to complain except that I'm a retired engineer ... you know how we are, just ask my wife. This P3 effect doesn't seem to happen any other time, but it was pretty regular when the laptop was sending frequency commands to the K3. Just curious, maybe someone else has noticed this ... or maybe not and my mind made it all up. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2015 Cal QSO Party 3-4 Oct 2015 - www.cqp.org __ 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] P3 Span limits in Fixed Tune mode
Hi Fred, When the K3 VFO A frequency gets outside of the P3 displayed span, the P3 center frequency may change to keep VFO A on-screen, depending on the setting of the FixMode menu setting. If you set FixMode to "Static" then the displayed range should not change no matter what the K3 is doing.

Dave, the K3 uses LSB for CW on all bands. In FLDigi there's a configuration knob to let you deal with that, under Configure->Misc->Sweet Spot. This will make the waterfall move in the correct direction when you tune, and it will make the QSY button tune your radio correctly. Please see if this fixes your problem in FLDigi. I don't know MixW, but it it changes direction from a certain band up, it may be configured to invert the sidebands like some old radios used to do. Other thing to make sure is that FLDigi (and possibly MixW) gets the mode correctly. Sometimes the K3 spews info too quickly and you get garbage in the Mode dropdown of FLDigi.
