Re: [Elecraft] K3/0 Mini KEY jack not working?
Hi Olli, Yes, but I have an Elecraft-manufactured K3/0 Mini with an Elecraft-manufactured Mini-to-RRC cable. I'm not going to do something custom! What I wanted to do was just use the KEY jack on the back of the K3/0 Mini -- but I guess this is not possible. Maybe I'll tack-solder a to the back side of the RJ45 inside the RRC.

[Elecraft] Trade for K3 stuff...
= Astronomical Objective: 12.5 inch diameter mirror F/6, full thickness, (2.13 inches) Fully aluminized, and fully parabolized Pyrex, research grade mirror for sale or trade. This mirror was tested at better than 1/8 wave accuracy, (P-P wavefront) A tested value of .972 for Sterehl rating. All testing was performed by Optical Wave Labs in California. The original test certificate will be included with the mirror when purchased. The mirror was ground by Optical Wave Labs as well. This is a high quality mirror, that has been finished, tested, and aluminized by a professionals in the United States. If you are going to build a 12.5 inch scope, this is the mirror to use! To purchase this mirror, it would cost you between $1000, and $1500, even locating a full thickness Pyrex blank is hard to do anymore. Asking $800.00. I am no longer interested in Astronomy, (I was going to build a scope out of this mirror), and the mirror is now up for sale, or trade, for radio gear. I will consider any like value trade for this mirror. The mirror is in mint condition, not near mint, but mint condition...Unused, unmounted, and still packed in the original shipping box from the lab that ground it. What have you to trade for it? I will pay shipping/Insurance for the mirror within CONUS, you pay shipping/insurance within CONUS for your item. Looking for amps, rigs, test equipment, etc... What have you? Feel free to offer up any sort of like valued ham radio equipment, or pretty much anything electronic, or science related. = -- Thanks and 73's, For equipment, and software setups and reviews see: www.nk7z.net for MixW support see; http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/mixw/info for Dopplergram information see: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/dopplergram/info for MM-SSTV see: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/MM-SSTV/info __ 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] AM Transmit Bandwidth
I drug out the test gear and answered my own question. The answer is — regardless of transmit filter selected, the upper end of audio in AM transmit is a pretty hard limit at about 2.95 Khz give or take a bit where the output drops off to better than 10dB below the mid range of the audio passband. At 3 KHz there’s virtually no audio at all. So no, there is no improvement in transmit bandwidth by using the FM filter for AM transmit. Which is a shame. The Flex radios (for example, and ignoring the rest of their faults) if properly driven and adjusted can produce very nice AM audio with a reasonable transmit passband for this mode. The K3 on the other hand generally gets a pretty bad (and perhaps deserved) rap on this in the AM community. It would seem since ESSB allows up to 4 Khz of audio bandwidth, that it might be possible to offer something in this range for AM and perhaps a bit more (adjustable to conditions) as well when using the FM filter for transmit. It would make a big difference over the 2.9+ KHz currently available. Please note, I am not trying to start yet another long thread on the whole bandwidth war discussion, or what the rules say or don’t or make anyone’s head explode. But it sure would be a good thing if Elecraft could see a way clear to improve the transmit fidelity in AM.

[Elecraft] Possible K3 Utility bug
I’m running the latest version of K3 Utility for the Mac. I was able to change the AM transmit filter from 6 Khz to 13 Khz using the utility. However, the utility would NOT allow me to set it back to 6 KHz. It would not recognize the 6 KHz radio button selected. I had to use the Config menu on the radio.

Re: [Elecraft] AM Transmit Bandwidth
I have found that careful adjustment of the TX EQ really helps how the K3 sounds on AM. In fact, I actually do get some good reports - these from people using vintage AM equipment. It could be better, but I do not see AM being a priority with anyone these days. I am just happy to be able to do AM in a reasonable fashion at good power without having to have 400 lbs. of equipment stacked up on my desk.

[Elecraft] Best earbuds for KX1?
I've been using Sony earbuds that are more like small speakers that lie in the ear. Fidelity seems OK; highs and hiss are not emphasized. The problem with these earbuds is they let in too much background noise.

Re: [Elecraft] Best earbuds for KX1?
There are earbuds that seal into the ear canal. They are high fidelity, with lots of highs and bass. The Grado iGi sells for about $89. I am very fond of my big, on-ear Grado headphones. When my old ones died after 15 years, I upgraded to more expensive Grado phones. Or you can get some ear protectors at the hardware store and put them on over your earbuds. Those are around $20. wunder K6WRU CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) On Mar 21, 2015, at 5:08 PM, J tsc...@gmail.com wrote: I've been using Sony earbuds that are more like small speakers that lie in the ear.

Re: [Elecraft] Best earbuds for KX1?
Yes, I have had good experiences with BH. I have an early pair of Ultimate Ears in-ear phones, but they start at $400 now. In-ear phones that seal in your ear canal can be tricky to fit. I seem to have very small ear canals, because the smallest options are a bit tight in my ears. That is why I suggested getting a pair of big yellow ear protectors over your earbuds. Works great. wunder K6WRU CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) On Mar 21, 2015, at 6:12 PM, Jim Brown j...@audiosystemsgroup.com wrote: On Sat,3/21/2015 5:51 PM, Walter Underwood wrote: There are earbuds that seal into the ear canal.

[Elecraft] RX antenna
Hi! My K3 arrived last Wednesday and has since been set up and is now in use. It is a great transceiver I am enjoying getting to kno. I am using a Hampod to provide access via voice output and am wondering about the RX antenna button on the K3 front pannel. When I turn the RX antenna off and on, the Ham Pod announces Pre-amp. When I press the Pre-amp button the Ham Pod annunces Pre-amp enabled/ disabled depending on which press of the button is active. Is the Pre-amp announcement on the RX antenna button what you see on the screen? I would have thought that the button for the RX antenna would be announced as the Rx antenna off/on. By trying out the transceiver I was able to interpret ok so am not having any problems. Thanks in anticipation of an answer/explanation. 73 Ian Westerland, VK3vin __ 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
