[Elecraft] KPA500 Problems Update

[Mike VE3YF]

First I would like to thank everyone for their support, suggestions 
and comments. Without that kind of help, I would still scratching my head.


Here is where I stand:

I have a work around by using the KPAK3AUX Cable from K3--> KAT500 
-->KPA500 with the Key line inhibitor installed at the K3. I am also 
running a separate key
line from the K3 Keyout jack to the KPA500 PA Key jack. (My first 
keyline cable had a broken shield, so I have replaced it)


Everything seems to work this way, however still have the problem of 
either the KPAK3AUX cable which does check out ok, Pin 10 is straight 
thru, while pins 1,6,7,

and 8 are not hooked up in the cable, verified with multimeter.

The other possibility is that PTT Line of either the K3 or the KPA500 
AUX Port is not working properly. I just have to figure out which end 
is at fault. I have tested
Pin 10 at the K3 and when I key the rig  I see movement on the 
multimeter , so I am thinking that Pin 10 at the K3 end is working 
ok. However I have been wrong before.


I have tried 2 x KPAK3AUX Cables and get the same results with both 
cables so I think I can rule out a cable problem


That really just leaves the KPA500 AUX port Pin 10 and inside the amp.

I think I have pretty much covered all the area's of concern so I am 
going to do up a detailed report of what is the fault and what was 
done to verify things etc and talk

to Elecraft on Monday.

Tnx for all your help.

Sending with a straight key:

is the same effort as deleting 53 off topic emails.

Re: [Elecraft] Possible KXUSB to K2 KIO2 adapter?

[Don Wilhelm]

Rob,

Yes, that is possible.  Get a stereo jack to replace the DE-9 connector 
on the computer end.
Connect the red wire to the ring of the jack, the green wire to the tip, 
and the black wire to the shell.


If this is only a temporary measure, get a DE-9 male connector in 
addition to the jack and make up an adapter.
The ring of the jack connects to pin 2 of the DE-9, the tip to pin 3 and 
the shell to pin 5.
Plug the existing DE-9 female into your male adapter and plug the KUSB 
into the stereo jack.

Don W3FPR

Re: [Elecraft] K3S + FLDIGI + Mac Mini

[David Ahrendts]

Gentlemen, thanks. Answered my own question moments after posting. And I am in 
awe. With ONE USB cable on the K3S, you have rig control, audio in and audio 
out. Short answers:
1) In FLDIGI config, Hamlib, find your port and initialize it. That’s rig 
control.
2) In FLDIGI config, Audio, select PortAudio, USB Audio Codec for both Capture 
and Playback.
3) Select FLDIGI mode PKTUSB which moves the K3S to DATA mode. Otherwise it 
likes to default to USB.
4) On the K3S, MIC control becomes Line level and mine likes to be around 6 
before tripping too much ALC. The P3 showing a clean PSK31 signal. Sweet.

Now, my Mac Mini is a beta tester for Apple El Capitan, and version 10.11 Beta 
(15A278b) is a little buggy with FLDIGI. Many screen freezes which I’m sure 
will be ironed out in time. 
There was this cautionary issued on 9/11: 
http://www.machamradio.com/blog/2015/9/10-fldigi-and-upgrading-to-os-x-1011-el-capitan
 


Thanks, as always. Happy to answer any question off list also.

Re: [Elecraft] Four Elecraft Digests in one day

My only issue is that while I surely admire the K3 and K3s, I'm really only
interested in the posts on the KX so I do a lot of deleting also. This is a
marvelous list and one of the few where there is no doubt an answer will be
forthcoming from either a member or Eric. Wish it was a little more
specific to my needs, but read it all day long nonetheless.

Sure. Stop using the digest -- it only makes things worse. Instead, use 
email software that allows you to set up filters to sort all the emails 
from a given reflector into its own mailbox. Now, you can quickly glance 
at each to see of it interests you and use your delete key liberally 
when it does not.


I use Thunderbird, which is free and works really well.

[Elecraft] Four Elecraft Digests in one day

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

Paradoxically, the digest mode seems least useful for large amounts of
traffic. It was originally designed for very slow circuits to end users
when individual fetches were problematic. Decades later systems like Gmail
handle that seamlessly and allow individual sorting of email to taste.

With my smartphone and the Gmail app I can sort out mail I **don't** want
to read, by visually scanning subject lines in just a few seconds. If there
are thirty posts on the same subject and thread they come up as a single
subject line, not thirty scattered around on separate lines.

Then tap tap tap tap on unwanted subject lines to highlight them. Tap on
the garbage can icon to send them to the folder that deletes them
automatically after thirty days.

The alternative is mail censorship or endless bickering about what and how
much ought to be on the reflector.

Having learned to use Gmail's filters, over time a personal collection
of filters plus the Gmail web or smartphone app can deal with even a
hundred Elecraft emails in a minute or two.

That does not include the time to read, absorb, and respond to the email
you have *chosen* to actually read.

Email today is way better as a process than what was going on when digest
mode was invented. To me anyway, it's mildly mystifying that anyone still
uses digest mode.

Re: [Elecraft] Four Elecraft Digests in one day

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

There is a pretty wonderful program called POPFILE that will work with 
Thunderbird and classify your mail.


The technique is kind of like the spam filter in Thunderbird.  You start 
by tagging a message or two for each topic/folder, and then you classify 
when it gets it wrong.  After a few days, the sorting becomes quite 
accurate, and you rarely have to touch it.


I don't use it currently because quite frankly, in my opinion, this list 
is a little bit slow, and the traffic is easily managed.  I at least 
skim the first part of every message.

[Elecraft] K3S - My Status

[Jerry Moore]

Wow about sums it up. Prior to purchase I was told that the K3S would NOT
solve the high noise levels at my QTH and that it wouldn't affect my ability
to hear.

 

The oscillator arrived Saturday afternoon, was installed and I did the low
power calibrations. 

I connected an antenna and the noise floor is indeed the same as before with
one HUGE exception. I can actually hear and clearly receive signals MUCH
BETTER than I could before. 

 

Now it's just a matter of learning to leverage the radio's strengths and
follow all menus down their respective rabbit holes. I'm finding the DSP to
have many different settings and have yet to learn what's configurable. The
depth and ability out of the box for this radio is well worth the cost and
is definitely valuable.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 Problems Update

[Don Wilhelm]

Mike,

Your Keyout cabling should be from the K3 Keyout to the top KAT500 PTT 
RLY, and then from the bottom KAT500 PTT RLY to the KPA500. That allows 
the KAT500 to disable keying of the KPA500 during a TUNE operation.


To sequentially test the operation of the KEYOUT lines and the cables, 
do the following checks in order - these checks can tell you the failure 
point.  If you can relate that failure point to Elecraft support, you 
should be able to quickly resolve the problem.


You should first verify the operation of the K3 KEYOUT with your 
ohmmeter.  Set the K3 to TX TEST so no RF is produced, then with your 
ohmmeter probes connected between the center of the RCA KEYOUT jack, key 
the K3 - the ohmmeter should go to zero ohms.
Do the same with pin 10 of the DE15 connector (KEYOUT-LP).  If both 
those tests succeed, the K3 KEYOUT is working for both sources.

If either check fails, you have a K3 problem with the KEYOUT signalling.

Now to check the cables and KAT500 operation.  The question to be 
answered is "At what point does the test fail?"  That answer will 
identify the failure point.  Set the KAT500 to AUTO.


Plug the KPAK3AUX cable into the K3 DE15 ACC connector (without the 
keying interrupter) and make the same check between pins 10 and 12 at 
the far end of the cable.  You should get the same zero ohms result - if 
not, the cable is faulty.
You can also check the RCA cable in the same way - at the far end of the 
cable connector check between the center and shell of the RCA connector.


Checking further, plug the KPAK3AUX cable into the KAT500 XCVR DE15 
connector.
Then measure the resistance between pins 10 and 12 of the AMP DE15 
connector.  It should go to zero when the K3 is keyed.
Now do an ATU TUNE from the K3 - the resistance should still be high 
(perhaps infinite).


Plug the RCA cable from the K3 KEYOUT jack into the upper PTT RLY jack 
and measure the resistance at the bottom one.  Again, when the K3 is 
keyed, the resistance should go to zero, but when you do an ATU TUNE it 
should stay high.


If those tests are good, remove the RCA cable from the KAT500 and 
continue the check by plugging the 2nd KPAK3AUX cable into the AMP 
connector on the KAT500.  Check between pins 10 and 12 at the far end of 
the cable.


Then re-install the KEYLINE INTERRUPTER at the K3 and plug in the RCA 
cable from the K3 to KAT500 plus the RCA cable that will go between the 
KAT500 and the KPA500 and make the same checks at the end of the cable 
that would plug into the KPA500, checking that cable.


If you got this far in the testing with no failure, the operation of the 
K3, KAT500 and the cables has been verified for both the K3 KEYOUT 
signal lines.  The only thing left is the KPA500 inputs.


Leave the KEYLINE INTERRUPTER in place and connect the KPAK3AUX cable 
from the KAT500 to the KPA500 and also connect the RCA cable from the 
KAT500 to the KPA500 PA KEY jack.  The KPA500 should go into transmit 
when the K3 is keyed, but not during an ATU TUNE.


Now remove the KEYLINE INTERRUPTER and the 2 RCA cables and repeat the 
test.  The KPA500 should behave as above if its KEYIN-LP input is 
working correctly.


If you have no devices (such as the STEPPIR controller, band decoder, 
etc.) that must listen to the K3 ACC signals, leave the KEYLINE 
INTERRUPTER out as well as the RCA cables and all should be working - 
put the KAT500 back into MAN after retraining the KAT500 to the antenna 
that was selected for the test.


If you DO have something that needs to listen to the K3 PTT, then put 
the KEYLINE INTERRUPTER in place (at the end of the KPAK3AUX cable, not 
directly on the K3 ACC connector) and both RCA cables. You will be using 
the "Y" cable at the K3 ACC connector to be able to connect the K3 ACC 
signals to the external device.


In other words, do NOT use the KPAK3 AUX cable *without* the KEYLINE 
INTERRUPTER along with the RCA cables.

Don W3FPR

George,

Re mics: Most Elecraft rigs do SSB, so mics are an 
apt topic. Some work well, some don't, and wiring 
is an issue -- as are such subtleties as bias vs. 
no bias, etc.


I'm surprised you say "Microphones, seriously?"; 
but there are likely topics where I could say 
"xyz, seriously?" and get a similar response.


OTOH -- the filtering suggestions on all msgs

Four Elecraft Digests in one day is more than I can swallow.  As I  attempt
to wade through the messages, I find a lot of stuff that doesn't seem
worthy of taking up everyone's time.  Microphones, seriously?

With this much message traffic, is there a better way?

Re: [Elecraft] Four Elecraft Digests in one day

[Don Wilhelm]

George,

Yes, I believe there is a 'better way'.  It takes 3 steps.
1) Change your subscription to individual emails
2) In your email client create a folder named "Elecraft" or any other 
name you choose.
3) Also in your email client, create a filter that moves any email with 
[Elecraft] in the subject line to the Elecraft folder.


Now you have you own personal "digest" in your email.
You can quickly scan through it exercising the delete key for those 
posts that are not of interest, and you can easily reply to any one of 
them - Reply should go only to the sender, Reply All will go to the list 
and the sender, and Reply To List (if your email client has it) will 
reply only to the list.


73,
Don W3FPR

Re: [Elecraft] Four Elecraft Digests in one day

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

I too became annoyed of the mass amount of e-mails received and changed 
to the "digest" mode.That, in my opinion, proved to be less than 
satisfactory as well, although those are much easier to delete as done 
one key stroke. I went back to the regular e-mail distribution and 
elect to use the DELETE function very aggressively as most e-mails do 
not apply to my needs or interest.   I guess there is no happy medium 
for me.

Re: [Elecraft] Four Elecraft Digests in one day

[Jim N7US]

I do as Don recommends but also have another rule in Outlook, my email
client, to move Elecraft reflector emails with subjects I'm not following to
a separate subfolder.  The rules work if the sender remembers to include the
radio or whatever (e.g., [K3], [KX3], etc.) in the subject line.

I have that rule at the top of my Outlook rules so it's processed on
incoming emails first.

Re: [Elecraft] Four Elecraft Digests in one day

[Edward R Cole]

Elecraft Digest works pretty well for me.  I'm on about 18 other 
lists so if all e-mails arrived individually the sorting thru would 
be horrendous.  With the digest I can reply to any comments on the 
list.  Only problem is sometimes an topic get moderated before I 
receive the digest so I cannot comment or that I do not get the 
moderation in the digest because it will be in the next one several 
hours later (after I already transgressed by commenting).


I delete the whole digest when done.

Note that also you can suspend delivery of individual emails in your Elecraft

Sure, it's easy ... just don't use the digests.  If you get all the 
messages individually it is trivial to scan through the message titles 
and delete the ones you don't want to see.  That allows you to set up 
manual filters, or in my case, I can literally manually cull the 60 or 
70 messages I get per day in about ten seconds.

I don't see why any of this is so difficult ...

[Elecraft] Elecraft SSB Net Results

[Ian Kahn]

First, a huge mea culpa to everyone. Normally I would have sent out a
reminder email yesterday about today's net. However, my schedule was such
that I didn't even get in front of the computer yesterday. That said, the
band was totally dead today. I barely heard John, N6JW, for about a minute
before he disappeared into the ether, and I got one other check-in. Here
are today's results:

KM4IK Ian GA K3 281
N6JW John CA K3 936
WV5I Dwayne TX K3 5287

I'm going to put out a request for assistance for next Sunday, 9/27. I've
had a family matter come up that will take me out of town next weekend. I
don't anticipate being home in time to call the net. If there is anyone
that can pick up the reins for me and be net control, I would greatly
appreciate it. Please email me at the address in my signature block, below,
if you can assist.

Have a great week, everyone.

I meant setting up *automatic* filters, which any credible mail app

Using the digest is like asking the USPS mailman to open all your mail 
ahead of time and put all the materials in the same envelope.
