[Elecraft] K3S NR Definitions

2015-08-27 Thread Bob McGraw - K4TAX
Regarding the K3S NR function, are there any written definitions, other 
than page 27 in the manual,  as to the effect or responses for the 
various numbers F1 - F8 and their derivatives?

[Elecraft] K2 KIO2 - Serial to USB

2015-08-27 Thread George Rebong
My K2 has KIO2 RS232. Most of the computers now does not have the RS232 DB9
port. I wonder if I could use a FTDI serial to USB
cable to connect my K2.

You can use a USB to serial adapter but you must make a cable/adapter
than connects *only* pins 2,3 and 5.  Other pins on the KIO2 connector
are not compatible with RS-232 (+/- signal levels).

Re: [Elecraft] K2 KIO2 - Serial to USB

2015-08-27 Thread Vic Rosenthal
You can use a USB to serial converter, but you MUST make a special cable to 
connect to the K2 that only connects some of the RS232 lines. Look at the K2 
manual for info. If you don't do this you can do serious damage to the K2!

Re: [Elecraft] K2 KIO2 - Serial to USB

2015-08-27 Thread Don Wilhelm

George,

Do not plug the USB to serial adapter directly into the K2 AUX I/O 
connector, plug the adapter into the special cable made to connect to a 
computer serial port.
The AUX I/O connector contains some non-RS232 signals that are used to 
control external Elecraft devices (KAT100, KRC2, XV series transverters) 
and those signal lines will not withstand RS-232 levels - in other 
words, you can damage the K2.


USB to serial adapters differ, even those with the FTDI chip.  Some do 
not like to run at the slow 4800 baud rate of the K2.  If one does not 
work well, try another brand.

Re: [Elecraft] CW RX

2015-08-27 Thread Joe Subich, W4TV


I use similar settings - except I follow the advice of Wayne and Lyle
against using any boost in the EQ.  That leaves the bottom two and
top two bands at -16 with the middle four flat.  On occasion, I have
also set the 1600 Hz band to -16 dB but I set Pitch at 490 Hz which
places 1000 - 12000 Hz well down on the filter skirts even if I have
widened the DSP to 800 Hz.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 KIO2 - Serial to USB

2015-08-27 Thread Guy Olinger K2AV
George,

Just in case it isn't quite clear.

   DO THE SPECIAL CABLE

The special cable is what makes the DB9 jack safe to connect to any of the
RS232 stuff, including the USB to serial adapter.  The special cable, a Y
cable, puts the three safe RS232 leads on one side of the Y and the
dangerous Elecraft proprietary K2 internal voltages on the other side.

If you have no external need for the proprietary voltages, you can just do
the RS232 half of the Y to hook up serial stuff.

There are useful variants of this You can do, such as the RS232 half of the
Y only, with a mini tip ring sleeve stereo plug on the non K2 end. This
with a bundled key lead hooks up the K2 to my bitty MicroHam CW Keyer for
portable QRP contest operations. The CW Keyer then connects to my laptop
with a USB cable, adding all the useful Winkey functions.

Good luck and

Re: [Elecraft] CW RX

2015-08-27 Thread Fred Jensen
It's personal taste, your headphones/speakers, and state of your 
hearing.  My hearing is pretty bad and my hearing aids don't work under 
headphones [I never use speakers].


CW: Don't boost anything over 0 dB, RX EQ goes away at very narrow DSP 
BW settings ... don't remember exactly where.  You can reduce ranges 
above and below your pitch level to remove noise, although I've never 
been very successful at that.


SSB: On advice from Jim, K9YC, I set the profile to approximate the 
shape of my hearing aids [inverse of my audiogram].  You can get +/- 16 
dB, but if you lower the bands where your hearing is good and raise them 
where it is bad [usually the higher frequencies], you can effectively 
get about a 30 dB total range.  You'll have to run the AF gain higher to 
compensate for the EQ reductions of course.  30 dB isn't even close to 
what my hearing aids do, but it does help a lot.


Most importantly, follow Jim's advice and GO SLOWLY!  I flailed around 
changing the settings to no avail and finally gave up and left them 
flat.  When I went back and tried again following his advice, I changed 
one setting at a time and put operating time in between changes, keeping 
track of what I was doing in my station notebook.  After awhile 
[multiple days], I could tell I was improving the intelligibility of SSB 
for my ears.

[Elecraft] CW RX

2015-08-27 Thread Bob McGraw - K4TAX











As a general rule with use of equalization, most EQ designs seem to have 
less phase shift effect when they are used in the attenuate mode as 
opposed to the boost mode. I've observed that excessive EQ in many 
applications will make an audio signal appear to sound as though it has 
a watery effect. Many traditionally will think in terms of add this or 
add that, when it is usually best to reduce the abundance of a portion 
of a audio signal. In other words, if your signal is reported lacking in 
high end, it is better to reduce the low end as opposed to adding to the 
high end.

Re: [Elecraft] CW RX

2015-08-27 Thread Mike K2MK
Hi Mark,

Barry's recommendation is what I did, however, there is one other thing to
consider. This topic was discussed a few years ago on the reflector and Lyle
advised that it was not recommended to peak up a desired frequency on CW.
Only use negative settings for undesired frequencies. The reason was that at
narrow DSP width settings like 50Hz or 100Hz the RX EQ is cut off. So if you
had a peak setting of 8db in the RX EQ and you narrowed the bandwidth you
would hear a sudden decrease in audio volume of 8db as you turned the width
knob counter clockwise.

Of course that was many firmware revisions ago so this might not still be
true.

Mike K2MK

 Good Evening,
 I have been tinkering around with the RX EQ #'s for CW. Would anyone have
 any good settings to recommend?

[Elecraft] K3S SubRx Question

2015-08-27 Thread ae4pb
On a K3S with a SubRx installed and connected to AUX RF do you continue to
hear reception on the SubRx during transmit? The operations manual seems to
imply that you will unless the antennas are not sufficiently isolated in
which case a carrier sensing switch may engage in an attempt to protect the
RX (and there is something about the potential to damage the unit).

Also is the K3 schematic correct for the K3S?

Thanks in advance.

[Elecraft] (K3) Six Meter EME

2015-08-27 Thread Edward R Cole
Congrats to Gary - KB8RQ and Lance - W7GJ operating V6M on Falalop 
Island in Yap!


I made my inaugural receipt of 6m-eme signals last night and able to 
copy/decode three stations (which included Gary):


073100  4 -22  1.385   38  3*  V6M KG7H DN18 1   0   0.0
074500 10 -20  2.119  -19  3#  V6M KB8RQ EM79  OOO   1   0   0.0
081100  4 -24  1.935 -124  3*  V6M W5ADD EM401   0   0.0

I used my K3 with PR6 preamp and 6-element yagi mounted on two 
sections of Rohn-45G tower.  This places the yagi one wavelength 
above ground which results in the major lobe of the antenna at 12 
degree elevation angle when yagi is pointed on the horizon (I have no 
elevation control).  Antenna dimensions were modeled by Mike-K6MYC 
with a gain of 13-dBi.  The  Moon peaked at 13-deg elevation during 
this pass so was perfect position for my antenna.


Details of my station and antenna are on my website:

Re: [Elecraft] K3S SubRx Question

2015-08-27 Thread Vic Rosenthal 4X6GP/K2VCO
Both receivers are muted on transmit regardless of the antenna 
connections. The carrier operated relay will protect the receiver (or 
not), but it doesn't have any effect on what you hear.


Don't know about the schematic.
