[Elecraft] Elecraft SSB Net Announcement

[Ian - Ham]

All,

 

The Elecraft sideband net will meet today, October 11, at 1800 UTC, on
14.3035 +/-. I will be net control from my QTH in the northern Atlanta
suburbs. Hopefully band conditions will play nicely for us today.

 

See everyone there.

 

73 de,

Re: [Elecraft] Frequency Not Synced for Diversity Receive

[efortner]

Hi Lee,

I finished putting my k3s together last week and with help from Howard at
the Elecraft discovered most of my problems were coming from a bad tcxo. I
also have the sub receiver and want to do diversity receive with 
A separate antenna. My sub receiver is working but I cannot receive any
signals from the Aux ant bnc port. I do not have the antenna tuner option so
have only the Ant 1 so239 and the bnc port with coax cable going to the rear
of radio into the sub receiver. Maybe have something set wrong. Anyone else
had this problem. Radio serial number 10326.

73, 
Earl, K4KAY

Lee,

A correction to my previous response:

The fix for diversity w mismatched main/sub rx filters was actually
implemented in MCU 5.33 firmware back on 8-3-2015. Of course it's also in
the latest 5.38 firmware as well.

Thank you David!  That did it!  Strange that it's not in the KX3 manual...

Thanks again and 73,

Ken,

Here is a copy and paste from something I wrote about this previously:

Found this...

* CW-IN-SSB TRANSMIT ADDED:  This feature allows you to send CW while 
in SSB mode, which can be useful when your SSB signal cannot be copied 
due to poor conditions. The other station will hear a tone at your CW 
pitch. To enable CW-in-SSB: Locate the CW WGHT menu entry, then tap 
‘1’ (PRE) to alternate between “SSW +CW” (enabled) and “SSB –CW” 
(disabled). The default is disabled. ImportantNotes: (1) CW-in-SSB 
does not yet apply in SPLIT mode. (2) When CW-in-SSB is enabled, 
tapping the KEYER/MIC knob toggles between keyer speed and mic 
gain rather than between the two transmit metering scales (CMP/ALC and 
SWR/RF). The CMP/ALC scale is still shown temporarily whenever CMP or 
mic gain are adjusted.



So that is what was causing it. DATA mode allows you to toggle it to 
one or the other so when you go back to SSB.


Useful to know.

Re: [Elecraft] Frequency Not Synced for Diversity Receive

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

Hi Lee,

Make sure that CONFIG: VFO LNK is set to OFF.  Then when you have done a
hold on SUB button, see that the second decimal point is blinking.

Mine currently reads one dot eight one seven dot six seven. The dot between
seven and six is blinking indicating diversity mode.

You do not have to link VFO's to enable diversity. Diversity does not use
two linked synthesizers. It runs both RX off of the A syn. B syn is used in
diversity only for transmit if you are doing "SPLIT" TX.

Good Luck and 73

[Elecraft] K3S Radio check?

[ae4pb]

 

I'm not sure if my antenna/coax/radio is deaf because I can hear some
signals. Is there a way to quantify and verify that at least the radio is
receiving as designed ? The K3S, antenna, and coax are all new. 

Without a signal generator or such I'm not sure how this can be
accomplished. I was only able to barely hear one or two people on the SSB
net and was not able to check in.  

I'm in the Charlotte NC area for reference. My dipole is at 35' broadside to
45 degrees. Due to the height I'd expect high angle radiation which should
help/work for NVIS and longer type contacts. 

 

Thanks in advance.

[Elecraft] K3S / P3 thoughts and notes.

[ae4pb]

I don't have the P3 yet and really didn't understand what people were saying
about how helps operations. Just to try and see if I really wanted it I
purchased a $20 USB SDR and did the hardware mod for direct sampling. Using
HDSDR with it allows me to have a poor version of the P3 (lots of
noise/birds due to the poor shielding and design of the SDR). I have to say
that I can now see the benefits of having a visual display of the bandpass.
It's more like shooting fish in a barrel because you can see the signals and
click on them to immediately tune. One note with the SDR method is I can
often hear signals but not see them. I'm confident the P3 can probably see
everything you can hear (someone else will have to comment). 

 

Anyway, my post is only to suggest that anyone who isn't sure on getting the
P3 strongly consider it and/or play around with proof of concept type
technologies to see if you like it. 

 

Based on my experiments I'm sold on the concept and now just need to save up
the cash for the hardware. 

 

Antennas are next on my list so the P3 gets bumped down a bit for now. 

 

73 ..

[Elecraft] KX3 - DATA A setup

[Ken Alexander]

I'm trying to set up my new KX3 to run JT-65.  I can't figure out how to 
switch the KX3's meter over to the CMP/ALC display to set my audio level.


The manual is vague on this.  It says the display switches to CMP/ALC 
when in voice modes.  Not in DATA A, and I switched to SSB and not there 
either.  It still displays SWR/RF in receive and transmit.  All the 
manual says in the DATA A and AFSK A section is to adjust the mic gain 
for 4 to 5 bars of ALC indication.  I can't until I can switch the meter 
display over.


Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Radio check?

[Cliff Frescura]

I would start with your local AM Broadcast stations like WBT on 1100 KHz.  I
would then check out WWV on 5.0MHz, 10MHz, 15MHz, 20MHz as well as CHU in
Canada on 3.33MHz, 7.850MHz and 14.67MHz.  You might want to add these into
memory for easy recall.

Be mindful that time of day/current propagation/solar conditions will be in
play as well.

[Elecraft] Windows 10 and LP-Bridge

[Byron Peebles]

Is anyone running LP-Bridge under Windows 10?
The site looks like development stopped early in Windows 8.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 VFO - Linking

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

Hi Bill,

The D10 manual text has been superseded by newer firmware. The only way now
to do a VFO link is CONFIG: VFO LNK.

Tap on SUB toggles the subRX.

Hold on SUB toggles diversity mode.

This is true for both K3 and K3S. The K3S front panel has a yellow DIV just
to left of the SUB button. This change from D10 manual procedure was the
result of a lot of discussion, and would seem permanent because big E has
etched it into the front panel.

Tapping SUB does *not* clear VFO LNK

Holding SUB (turning on diversity) *does* clear VFO LNK

Note in VFO LNK, moving VFO B knob changes B) and *not* A). Moving VFO A
knob always changes *both* A) and B) by the same amount.

Re: [Elecraft] K3/0 Forum?

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

To be practical, there just is no way for a maker of transceivers to keep
up with all 3rd party generators of software/hardware.

We depend on Elecraft engineers to be working on Elecraft products.

Also, there is a 22 page manual for K3/0 and the remote protocol for Remote
Rig, which Elecraft sells and supports at:

http://www.elecraft.com/manual/K3%20Remote%20Owner's%20Manual%20%20Rev%20D.pdf

I would squeeze out of that whatever you can.

Since they sell RRG, they do have to keep up with RRG.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Radio check?

[brian]

Ron,
Second that.   I found it easier to maximize output by  substituting a 
1k resistor in series with a 1K pot for the 1.8 K resistor.   Also after 
connecting the battery backwards once,  a diode in series with the + 
supply was added.


73 de Brian/K3KO

This unit produces about S9 noise on most bands with a fresh battery.   
Great for aligning filters.

Cdx are punk here in the Northwest today. Very few signals below 21 MHz.

If one of the little Elecraft sig gens is too pricy ($90 to $180), think
about assembling a little noise generator. I have one made out of a handful
of parts with the most expensive piece being the 9V battery. The late Tom
Hammond, N0SS, still has it on his web site:

There are a couple of other versions on the same page.

Once you note how your S-meter reacts to it on each band when the rig is
obviously working well you can use it to see if your rig has gone deaf
later.

Re: [Elecraft] K3/0 Forum?

The lack of a good manual and no diagram for the K3/0 is way..below 
the normal Elecraft standards.  It is especially bad if in addition to 
remote rig you sometimes want to use the USB cable and remote hams.  
There just is no documentation as to what is going on!

Re: [Elecraft] K3/0 Forum?

[Barry Baines]

Ed:

Part of the “confusion” may be due to how different organizations/groups 
utilize the remote capabilities of Elecraft products.  Which areas should be 
the responsibility for documenting which aspect of remote operations?  For 
example, do you expect Elecraft or Remote Hams to provide appropriate 
documentation for using the K3/O with a Remote Hams connection?

Second, the K3/O can be ‘connected’ to a K3 through various means.  I would 
suggest since Elecraft offers the Remote Rig hardware as part of their product 
line offerings, their focus should be on getting the Remote Rig hardware 
properly interconnected with the K3 at the radio site as well as the K3/0 at 
the remote site.  This includes proper remote rig configuration, which can at 
times be confusing due in part to network issues. 

In my opinion, Elecraft does a reasonably good job in their brief documentation 
in connecting via Remote Rig. I was able to get it done once I dealt with with 
some network issues.

There is also the question of connecting the K3/0 to a local PC which in turn 
connects to a PC where the K3 itself is located to provide the connection.  I 
don’t know how many people use this approach, but the documentation may indeed 
be in need of improvement.  

What is particularly lacking is understanding more complex setups beyond SSB 
where documentation is needed to explain how to setup digital modes and how to 
use computers at the remote site to do digital modes.  There is also the 
question logging using a computer next to the K3/0 which gets into the question 
of proper com port configuration.  The question of feeding audio and control 
lines to a PC at the remote using the available connection ports off the K3/O 
or the Remote Rig “box” is not intuitive, nor is how best to use the two 
available com ports that can be managed between the remote site and the radio 
site (ham shack where the K3 is located) to feed data.  

Third, we need to remember that the K3/O’s front panel and menus control the K3 
that is connected to the antenna.  When you setup filters, set frequencies, set 
audio levels, etc. on the K3/0, you are directly interacting with the K3 at the 
ham shack.  Even changing the volume level on the K3/0 to make for a more 
pleasant listening experience with the K3/0 internal speaker is in fact also 
changing the audio level of the speaker out of the K3 itself.  That is why I 
always turn off the powered speakers at the K3 so that varying audio levels 
don’t result in loud speaker output at the ham shack where the radio is located.

Fourth, for those of us that use the Remote Rig Hardware, there is a Remote Rig 
forum available through Remote Rig.  There are some issues that more properly 
handled by the Remote Rig support process, such as how to finagle a connection 
through hotel WiFi services where a login is required. In my opinion, Remote 
Rig needs to come up with solutions to these issues, not Elecraft.

FWIW,

[Elecraft] K3 VFO - Linking

[Bill Wiehe via Elecraft]

I am having an issue with linking VFO A and B. Page 6 of the K3  owners manual 
(Revision D10) suggests that holding the 'SUB'  will link  the VFO's , and 
holding it more than 2 seconds "engages diversity mode."  I never seem to get 
the linked VFO's.  Holding the 'SUB' button any length of time engages 
diversity mode. I have the new synthesizers in my K3 and I have reloaded the 
firmware as well. Additionally, if  I say 'YES' to link the  VFO's in the 
CONFIG menu, as soon as I hit the "SUB' button the VFO's unlink.Anyone have any 
ideas as to what I might be doing incorrectly?Thanks,Bill-W0BBI

I would start with your local AM Broadcast stations like WBT on 1100 KHz.  I
would then check out WWV on 5.0MHz, 10MHz, 15MHz, 20MHz as well as CHU in
Canada on 3.33MHz, 7.850MHz and 14.67MHz.  You might want to add these into

Be mindful that time of day/current propagation/solar conditions will be in

I'm not sure if my antenna/coax/radio is deaf because I can hear some
signals. Is there a way to quantify and verify that at least the radio is
receiving as designed ? The K3S, antenna, and coax are all new. 

Without a signal generator or such I'm not sure how this can be
accomplished. I was only able to barely hear one or two people on the SSB
net and was not able to check in.  

I'm in the Charlotte NC area for reference. My dipole is at 35' broadside to
45 degrees. Due to the height I'd expect high angle radiation which should
help/work for NVIS and longer type contacts. 

 

Thanks in advance.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Radio check?

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Cdx are punk here in the Northwest today. Very few signals below 21 MHz. 

If one of the little Elecraft sig gens is too pricy ($90 to $180), think
about assembling a little noise generator. I have one made out of a handful
of parts with the most expensive piece being the 9V battery. The late Tom
Hammond, N0SS, still has it on his web site:

http://www.mmccs.com/mmarc/n0ss/noise_generator_ac7ac-style.pdf

There are a couple of other versions on the same page. 

Once you note how your S-meter reacts to it on each band when the rig is
obviously working well you can use it to see if your rig has gone deaf
later.

2.5 nothing band noise
5 nothing just band noise
10 signal S6.5 with lots of band noise but readable
15 S6.5~S7 readable and clear with band noise
20 S8.5 very strong with almost no noise
25 S9 solid tone of some kind, no other signal or sound evident.

I don't have the all band receive module if that matters..

I'm thinking everything is working and I just need better antennas.. ?
Thanks in advance.

Re: [Elecraft] TX3X K3/KPA500 DXpedition to Chesterfield Islands onthe air

[Steve Lund]

Yes, they were on 160m from approximately 1100z to 1200z.

The 30m RTTY op went QRX.

About 10 minutes later they showed up on 1826.5. Very weak signal with long
and deep QSB. Definitely needed the K3 NR. The LP-PAN helped to determine
who was calling. Mostly 9's and 0's getting in the log at their sunrise.
KA6BIM and I from Oregon also made Qs. I'm curious what their antenna was.
With the wind and it being the last day, I'm guessing that they loaded up
one of the other antennas.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Radio check?

40 meters is alive with signals as of 16:50 Eastern time. If you don't 
have that - something is wrong in your system. No signal generator 
needed for that test.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Radio check?

[dw]

Jerry,
I had a 2 foot long alligator clip lead on the antenna input of my K3s
today and was hearing cw signals all over 40 meters.

K3s is a pretty hot receiver.
You might try to connect up a wire 5-10 feet long to the ANT 1 input.
Put the rig in TEST mode and see what you hear.
Fingers crossed you figure it out.

Re: [Elecraft] K3/0 Forum?

[Phil Wheeler]

You could always start a Yahoo Group with such a 
focus, ala the ones already there for K3/K3s and KX3.


Here having a single email reflector for all 
Elecraft products makes the most sense, IMO. 
Separate ones for each product would be a tad messy.

​



Part of the “confusion” may be due to how different organizations/groups
utilize the remote capabilities of Elecraft products.  Which areas should
be the responsibility for documenting which aspect of remote operations?
For example, do you expect Elecraft or Remote Hams to provide appropriate
documentation for using the K3/O with a Remote Hams connection?

Re: [Elecraft] K3/0 Forum?

[Ed Gray W0SD]

I don't want another forum I just want decent documentation on the K3/0 
mini in regards to the remotehams software. http://www.remotehams.com


I have two remote rig set ups.  I have used them for several years from 
many locations back to my home station.  I have used them with the 
computer(TRX manager) I have used them with another K3 and the K3/0 
Mini.  I have used them on SSB, CW, RTTY, Digital.  I have used them 
remotely with Writelog and done remote contesting. I of course have made 
a lot of DX contacts remotely.


You can get help from the Remote Rig forum and the company.  You can 
also get help from Elecraft, the e-mails and the K3/0 Mini manual for 
using the RRC boxes so it is not bad.  I don't have any big problems 
with the K3/0 Mini and the Remote rig boxes although there are some 
things missing in the documentation by both companies.


What I am talking about is using the K3/0 mini for 
http://www.remotehams.com/ (remotehams)


For example do people know there are several jumpers inside the K3/0 
Mini that are totally undocumented in the manual or anyplace else I can 
find?  Do people know how to get the K3/0 Mini apart?  It is not sold as 
a kit.  There is more but I will leave it at that.


The bottom line is the K3/0 Mini manual in regards to remote hams is 
"weak"!  It should at least have a diagram or reference to a diagram on 
line. We are not dealing with another hardware product here.  We are 
dealing with software that if you go to the site says sponsored by Elecraft.


I should know better than to make a post but I thought I might be able 
to get some help for other K3/0 Mini owners or future owners for at 
least a schematic  but mainly all I read is defense of the status quo.  
I am QRT on this subject.   I will talk to Elecraft support tomorrow.

[Elecraft] K3/0 Forum?

[James F. Boehner MD via Elecraft]

To All,

I know the main advantage of having one central list (this one) is that it is 
monitored by Elecraft, and answers are provided by them, as well as other 
knowledgeable individuals on the forum.

I have moderated the elecraft...@yahoogroups.com  for some time (Waaay before 
having a K3), and fortunately, Elecraft monitors that list as well.

Since there appears to be a need, I have created elecraft_k...@yahoogroups.com 
for anyone who would like to have a separate forum.  I would certainly welcome 
Elecraft to participate, as well as RemoteRig and Remote hams.

I want to make it clear that I do not want to divide this forum, just provide a 
space where those who have a particular interest in Remote operating can gather.

I am currently borrowing a K3/0 in anticipation of one I have on order, and 
purchased RemoteRig when I purchased my K3.  All I can say is that it was 
indeed fortunate that I had someone who has set up a number of remote stations 
with RemoteRig to guide me through the process.  It is not "a walk in the park" 
for someone who has not done it before.  Hopefully this new forum can help.

David from Elecraft did send me a separate communication dated June 2015 (K3 
and K3S Remote System FAQ) on remote operating, and I've found it very helpful.

If anyone cares to join the list, elecraft_k3-0-subscr...@yahoogroups.com 
should do it, but going to http://groups.yahoo.com and searching for 
Elecraft_K3-0 would be best. It will be moderated.  Please place your callsign 
in the "why you want to join this group" for quick approval.

The lack of a good manual and no diagram for the K3/0 is way..below the 
normal Elecraft standards.  It is especially bad if in addition to remote rig 
you sometimes want to use the USB cable and remote hams.  
There just is no documentation as to what is going on!

Re: [Elecraft] [K2] Band-Pass Filter Trimcap values

[andrew]

Hello Don
Thanks very much for the useful information.
I was able to source some trimcaps with the correct pin-spacing and a nominal 
range of 3 - 30pF.
The maximum values used bacame:
C21, C23, C32, C34 = 50pF
C44, C46 = 30pF
These resulted in all bands being easily tuned for peak output close to the 
middle of the trimming adjustment.
Thanks again.

[Elecraft] K3S AGC macro question

[ae4pb]

Hi, I'm learning macros and using the K3 test utility to learn.

Tech MD is turned on.

 

When trying to set AGC SLP=000 and AGC THR=8 using the below commands the
AGC SLP setting refuses to change. 

MN074;MP008;MN017;MP000;SWT14;

 

Troubleshooting:

Entering the following commands responds with ?:  but I see the correct
attribute displayed. 

MN017;

MP;

 

Variations I've tried for the data command:

MN074;MP008;MN017;MP000;SWT14;

MN074;MP008; SWT14;MN017;MP000;SWT14;

MN017;MP000;SWT14;

MN017;MP00;SWT14;

MN017;MP0;SWT14;

 

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.. 

Firmware version MCU 05.35

 

Tnx.

[Elecraft] Reflector Help

[Mark K9BOO via Elecraft]

Hello!

 

Does anyone else use Android mail to open email digests from this Elecraft
reflector on qth.net?  Perhaps you have a suggestion on how I can read the
digest emails?

 

I get an email digest with attachments for each email.  The attachments have
a ".msg" extension which Android doesn't know how to handle.  In contract,
at my desk, the computer has outlook and can open these attachments and
display the emails with no problem.

 

I am hoping I won't have to log into my email provider just to use their
webmail interface.

 

Thanks!
