Re: [Elecraft] CQ WPX and the KSYN3A board?
I was on only sporadically, wedding to attend on Sat and most of Sun was at granddaughter's softball tournament. It is however probably the best workout I've given the new synthesizer, and the improvements in QSK and CW stability are remarkable and obvious. I rarely noticed any phase noise with the old board, I didn't notice any with the new one. Phase noise on receive is not really my problem however, Casey's [neighbor] plasma TV is. Fortunately, he's had lots of problems with it, came over to see our Panasonic LCD, and is about to trash the plasma. :-) The CW was just super clean at 30-35 WPM which is about the max I use in contests [except when working D4C]. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 50th Running of the Cal QSO Party 3-4 Oct 2015 - www.cqp.org On 6/3/2015 4:17 PM, Mike Weir wrote: Good evening to the group, I was not able to participate last weekend in the CQ WPX CW contest but I was wondering from those of you who did and had the new KSYN3A synthesizer board in your K3's...how was the performance ?

[Elecraft] Pigknob and K2
Anyone have experience using the PigKnob with the K2? I'm thinking of using my K2 for SO2R, but the ergonomics are difficult - the PigKnob would fix that. I use one with my K3.

Re: [Elecraft] CQ WPX and the KSYN3A board?
I agree with Dwight's description of the new synthesizers in the K3. I also did a few hours in the WPX contest, where the QRM can get bad, but this time, no one could sneak up close to me to take over the QRG and I was able to log a little over 1000 QSO's. Loud signals certainly were less of a problem than before. I have also tested the high speed full QSK (up to 90 wpm) and it is working so much better. As Dwight says " Highly recommended up-grade! Thanks Elecraft!". 73, Tom - W4BQF -Original Message- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of DGB Sent: Wednesday, June 3, 2015 8:30 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] CQ WPX and the KSYN3A board?

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Linux rig control
Hi Bill, I am personally not running a K3, but the Albany club is. We will have a K3 running with KB, a Linux based Contest logging program at field day this year (as always). Walt WA1KKM is adding K3 support this year. He has always suppoorted my rigs. There is also CQRLOG. This is a daily logging software that uses hamlib and also supports fldigi and etc. I do have a PC with all of this setup. I have not updated it in a bit. Since we are local, we should be able to get together and chat ;-) Will WC2L >>> Bill 6/3/2015 7:21 AM >>> I am looking for Linux software to control the K3.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Auto OFF on battery only suggestion
Yes Peter, I did think of that possibility, in which case you just wouldn't use the option I proposed. Diving into the menus each time I change from external PSU to internal batteries gets old quite quickly, the less times I am in there the better as there is the danger of inadvertently changing something else by mistake by turning the VFO in a moment of confusion. I doubt anything will be done, but I thought it was worth asking. 73 David Anderson GM4JJJ > On 3 Jun 2015, at 03:09, Peter Lambert wrote: > > Consider the use of an external battery pack.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Linux rig control
This isn't a direct answer to your question, Bill. It does address the Linux issue to some extent. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 here and have Fldigi up and running under Wine. I'm working on getting MSDMT going now. Tht is a software modem / terminal program used for Army MARS message transfer on HF. With Fldigi, everything is working fine and it is as stable as Fldigi gets. This setup runs using a Creative Labs EMU 0202. I have to run the program via sudo because otherwise Fldigi can't get access to the sound unit. M110A is set up differently (for the present), so I can't run it as su. So the EMU sound unit isn't visible, though the COM port works fine. I'm slowly working this out. For just plain old rig control, you might try DM780 by itself under wine. it only requires a COM port to operate the K3. You have to set up the COM port under the dos_devices folder withing ~/.wine, I believe. There are different web pages describing the "how to" for serial ports under wine. 73, matt W6NIA / AAR9CD On Wed, 03 Jun 2015 07:21:29 -0400, you wrote: >I am looking for Linux software to control the K3.

[Elecraft] pse help k3/0 mini
I received K3/0 mini a few days ago from elecraft US. But I have a problem. I think VFO B knob is not working. (VFO_B is unlocked) I cannot change VFO B frequency and set menu entries using VFO B knob. I sent emails to k3supp...@elecraft.com but no reply. This is my first Elecraft. I'm not familiar with K3. Please help me.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Linux rig control
I use the fldigi suite of software on my Ubuntu distro. It does most everything you need for ham radio work. Sound Card digimodes modem, logging and rig controll. Add on programs lets you do arq, radiograms. It can function as an modem for other 3d party software. And supports kiss. Might do what you want. 73 Erlend La4tta. 3. juni 2015 13:21 skrev "Bill" følgende: > I am looking for Linux software to control the K3.

Re: [Elecraft] [K2] EEPROM Problem?
Joseph, If you want to store the current frequency without waiting, do a band change and then change back - the K2 will write the frequency to EEPROM on the band change. 73, Don W3FPR On 6/3/2015 12:52 AM, Joseph Baxley via Elecraft wrote: Matt, I believe what you said is correct. I was borrowing space in an electronics lab tonight and was working quickly during the final install because others were needing the space. I have since tried waiting (it took me about a minute on frequency) and it is writing to EEPROM correctly. I had never noticed this behavior before and was deeply puzzled. Thank you for the answer. __ 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 Linux rig control
I am looking for Linux software to control the K3. Currently I use an old version of HRD - which basically does what I want. HRD is a no go under Wine. I am totally uninterested in logging apps and similar - only desire rig control. At this point I am running Linux Mint 17 on one machine and Win 10 Preview on another. Win 10 is filled with features - as in bloatware - that I do not need nor want. However, there are a few programs that I run that are Windows only types and have no serious clones available for Linux. HRD is one of these. Any suggestions? My goal is to run only a single system - Linux or Windows. It makes it too fiddly to run two full systems. Dual boot and VMware solutions have been explored and dismissed. Rig control would go a long way toward making the change to Linux only.
