[Elecraft] KX3 Sync-AM Support
Hi All We are waiting for the KX3 SYNC-AM function. How many months does it take for a debut SYNC-AM? 73, JE0LFI / nakamura __ 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] New P3 TX Monitor....unusual behavior with SWR (at times)
Does this happy to anyone else with the new TX Monitor…? My TX monitor sensor sits between my KPA500 and the KAT500 and since I have installed it and had it up and running I have had more than my average spurts of high SWR. For example, a key down may cause this spurt but just a moment later the SWR is fine at is usual 1.4:1 or so for this particular antenna. I have only noticed this on 80-meter band and I have my KAT500 fully programmed for each segment and also I run the KAT500 in manual mode. I only see this on CW but that is the only thing I have done since having the TX monitor set up except for one time of saying “test, test, test” into the mic to see the TX SSB waveform. Usually, I don’t have any hassles with high SWR spurts on this antenna with the KAT500 and that is why I am thinking there may be some new kind of interference with the sensor in line like maybe brief periods where the Load side which is input to KAT500 does not look like 50 ohms. Thanks for your comments. 73, phil, K7PEH __ 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] DXpedition case K3s fit question
Do any of you new K3s owners have one of my DXpedition K3 cases with the foam end cap kit? If so, do the end caps fit the K3s OK? I don't think there are any differences that would impact the fit of the front or back end caps, but I'd like to conform this. Thank you, and ... 73!

[Elecraft] P3TXMON Bug?
My P3TXMON scope display is not performing as it should, while I am talking in SSB mode. Frequently the display will go to a straight line with vertical signals that are very narrow. It looks almost like it is switching to a very wide span or the time base is changing frequency. This will continue until I stop transmitting, then it will be ok for a while, then does it again. A friend is also experiencing this same bug on his P3TXMON. Anyone experiencing this same thing?

Re: [Elecraft] Struggling with diversity mod
Problem solved. Internal antenna routing messed up completely after upgrading to the latest firmware. I've reloaded an old configuration saved with a very old firmware (from May 2013) after the upgrade. That was a bad idea. Call me SRU... (stupid radio user) :-) ... my fault.

[Elecraft] Fw: K3- Line Out Audio
I'd back this request too...For me, it's not a particularly high priority, but would certainly like to see it at some point! 73, Quin G3WRR - Forwarded Message - From: Dennis Egan egan.denni...@gmail.com To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Monday, 10 August 2015, 13:34 Subject: [Elecraft] K3- Line Out Audio I'm going to second Peter's request, but let me explain it in a different manner. I'll use the terms Rx audio to mean the audio from the receivers, and the Tx Mon to mean the audio that is being transmitted.; you get a constant audio level output regardless of your AF setting. Currently, the Line Out audio level is adjusted in the Config menu. For recording purposes, IMHO, it works correctly. If you want to record just the receive audio, it is fine. When you want to record the actual contest, though, the receive audio alone isn't enough; you also need the Tx Mon audio. The Tx Mon audio that is mixed into the Line Out audio is varied by the Tx Mon level control on the front panel. If you turn the Mon control fully counterclockwise, you have no Mon audio in your headset and no Mon audio in the recording. Why is this important? As an SO2R operator, I use the Tx Mon audio for two things: make sure I'm not sending gibberish, and as an audio cue that a specific radio is done transmitting. The Mon level is set so that I can barely hear it in the headphone; many SO2R ops use the Mon in just that manner, as does PC2A. If you adjust the Mon gain in that manner, the Tx Mon audio disappears from the recording. In addition, many ops route the mike audio through the soundcard so that they can do on-the-fly recording. Many soundcards introduce enough latency into the process that listening to yourself through the delay is very fatiguing; the easy solution is to turn the Mon level so that you don't hear it. When you do that, the Mon audio disappears from the recording. What we'd like to see is the transmitted audio, be it from cw sidetone or digital signal or ssb audio, to be mixed into the Line Out audio at a level that is not changed when the Mon control is adjusted. The transmitted audio level should be adjusted in step as part of the Line Out Config menu selection. With the new recording needs of CQWW, this should be implemented.

Re: [Elecraft] P3TXMON Bug?
It will do that if the K3 is in transmit mode but with no power coming out. The P3 auto-scales the modulation display amplitude, so if there is no signal it jacks the gain way up and you see quantized noise. The next version of P3 firmware will limit the maximum gain so you don't see so much noise in that situation.

Re: [Elecraft] Strange bandswitch behavior - incorrect command interpretation
Chris, I had the same issue with the band down side. With the power off, I just rapidly and aggressively pushed on the band down side with moderate pressure -- maybe 20 times. The switch seemed to be sticky when new. The issue returns if the button is partly depressed in haste. Elecraft support advised me I was the first to report this and if I sent it back, they would test the unit's functionality. I decided not to do that due to shipping cost--for such a trivial issue-waiting for it to fail completely.

Re: [Elecraft] Strange bandswitch behavior - incorrect commandinterpretation
There have been problems with the pushbutton switches in the four controls to the left of the main VFO knob (e.g. speed/mic). Push the buttons and twiddle the shafts of these controls for two minutes each, and the problem will probably not recur. When these controls fail, they cause multiple addressing problems. I had a similar problem a couple years ago, and ordered four replacement encoder/switches, which are surprisingly inexpensive. When I went to actually do the job, it looked nasty, and I never replaced them. The problem has never recurred.

[Elecraft] KSYN3A Upgrade Observations
Interesting observations after upgrading my K3 to the KSYN3A this evening. 1. I was already running 5.14 firmware. After installation I upgraded to 5.29 but the DSP was already at 2.83 so I only sent the MCU and FPF firmware. After the upgrade I started getting ERR DSE. Reflash of all firmware corrected the problem. 2. I had recent success with the TX gain calibration for the 5.14 upgrade. After fixing the ERR DSE issue with the firmware reload, the 5w TX gain calibration failed on 40m with error of it settling on 5.4w. I'm using the latest K3 utility on a Mac to perform the calibration. I ran it again with the same result but this time proceeded on to the 50w calibration which succeeded. I then re-ran the 5w calibration and it was successful. All is working well now and I'm happy with the upgrade.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Fan noise cure
Hi Doug, If noise is the issue you might want to search the archives. Some time back a fellow posted information on a replacement Noctua fan that had more CFM output but was quieter than the original per the specs. So if replacement is required then possibly the replacement could also be a upgrade. 73, Bob K2TK ex KN2TKR (1956) K2TKR.
