[Elecraft] [K3] - Sub receiver S-meter

2015-11-06 Thread Al Lorona
When B SET is pressed the S-meter is tied to the sub receiver. But how does one 
go about calibrating the sub rx's S-meter? Is it even possible? The User Guide 
seems to imply so.

Sounds good and like maybe a peak on CW pitch around 550Hz?    Have you varied 
the sidetone pitch at a fixed  level to check response?

Re: [Elecraft] Speaker SP3 Video

2015-11-06 Thread Steve Ellington
Yes, using a sound pressure meter I can see a peak around 570 and one down
around 330 or so . These are only about 3 db variations however.
Setting the speaker on the desktop makes a *HUGE difference* in
loudness...Maybe 10 db or so. The reflection from the surface helps greatly
and this is true of most speakers. Setting it on a shelf totally wrecks
everything.

NO!
do not make the  K3 USB codec a default device for audio or communications.

That makes windows sounds  use the  K3s USB codec play  beeps etc.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 QSK CW Audio Dropouts

2015-11-06 Thread Wayne Burdick
We're talking about two different things.

What OK1RP may be hearing is the ATU switching its relays when he first 
transmits in a band segment that requires new LC settings. The firmware 
attempts to do that between CW elements (in RX mode). This should be extremely 
rare. (If it's happening more frequently, it could be related to particular 
combination of AGC and QSK menu settings along with high QRM/QRN on a given 
frequency. I would try selecting "OLD QSK" or "NEW QSK" to see if that has any 
impact, and/or increase the AGC THR value.)

The PA temperature anomaly reported earlier should also be extremely rare, and 
in fact no one had even mentioned it in years. Nothing has changed in this 
firmware recently. But I'm working on a firmware improvement for that and will 
discuss it later after testing.

[Elecraft] P3 goes to different band when control knob is tapped.

2015-11-06 Thread Gary Smith
I must have hit something inadvertently 
because my P3 is exhibiting a new 
behaviour I haven't experienced before; 
Lets say I'm on 80M and switch to 160M. 
The K3 is now on 160M, the digital markers 
on the P3 show 160M frequencies. I tap the 
marker A button to highlight Green, I 
adjust it to a desired signal & when I 
push the control knob, it puts me back to 
80 meters or at least to a different band.

Whatever the cause, I have had it happen 
repeatedly lately, not every time but 
often enough I've become wary of where the 
P3 will send me. 

Since this is a new behaviour, it's either 
the result of my having changed a setting 
or something to do maybe with a recent 
firmware update?

Idears?

73,

Gary

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Yamaha CM500 vs Koss SB40

Probably any half-decent electret element will sound fine too. If the
frequency response is reasonably level and the sensitivity is  about the
same as other electrets - in other words, if there's nothing "wrong" or
"unusual" about it - then the K3 will manage the rest.

Over the past 7 years I've had very good results with the Koss CS-100, a
lightweight on-ear computer headset with the usual electret microphone.
That headset was originally purchased for Skype but was found to work
very well indeed with the K3 - not only for my own voice but also for my
wife and for guest operators. As a result, these headsets have
proliferated around our household and also throughout the radio club.

Still preferring closed-cup headphones for my own use, about two years
ago I switched to the Koss CM-45. The electret microphone is essentially
identical to the CS-100, so operators can freely swap headsets without
needing to change any microphone or EQ settings.

>The SB45 headset has an electret element, but it is not the same

>
Headphone comfort is a very individual thing. I have used the Koss SB-45
for about two years now with no discomfort over many long hours; on the
other hand, Heil headphones hurt my ears within ten minutes. The CM-500
I have never tried, as it's not readily available in Europe.

So, in what way is the headphone arrangement "different" between the
SB45 and the CM-500?

[Elecraft] having problems connecting my K-3 to Ham Radio Deluxe

2015-11-06 Thread John Weber
Here  is a general overview of my problem


K-3 radio, new Lenovo desk top with windows 10 operating system


HRD version 6.3 (latest Software )


Elecraft KUSB black cable 


Please note that I operated the radio with HRD in the past using an old 
computer using windows 7 but that computer has gone to the grave yard.


I have contacted HRD , Lenovo & Elecraft to trouble shoot the problem 


When I connect the radio thru the KUSB port to the computer and load the HRD 
program 

I get a screen indicating that the program can not find the radio.

Elecraft indicates that the drivers in the computer operating system are not 
the drivers needed to operate the radio, so I down loaded the driver that 
Elecraft indicated and still can not connect.

I Used an old computer with a Windows Vista operating system and connected it 
to the radio with HRD 6.3 and it operated correctly!!


 


Has any one had this problem ??

And what is the solution !

Please advise 


John WA2C

Thanks Don.   I suppose I didn't see Wayne's response.  In one way it is 
nice to know it is not "radio unique".  In my examination, it appeared 
to be a firmware issue, likely affecting all radios. Easy solution however.

I tried HRD 6.0 and dumped it.  I find there are issues with Windows 10 
and HRD 6.0 that have not been resolved.


I do run Windows 10 and other applications,  i.e.  HRD 5.0/DM-780, 
FLDIGI, WSJT-X and others very successfully with the K3S and the USB to 
radio connection.  So, if it runs with HRD 5.0 and not HRD 6.0, using 
the same computer, same operating system, same cable, same radio, I 
strongly suspect the issue is within HRD 6.0.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Yamaha CM500 vs Koss SB40

2015-11-06 Thread Don Wilhelm

Tom,

I do not have the specifications for the Koss SB40, but all the ad 
statements say it has a dynamic microphone element.
What happens if you turn off the bias?  If you get no audio, then it is 
an electret element, but if you do get audio out of it, it is dynamic.

Operating a dynamic microphone with bias turned on will create distortion.

on 10m on Sunday pm..great fun.

Suggestions for using the SB40 w/K3?

2015-11-06 Thread Bob McGraw - K4TAX
As a general rule, if you measure the DC resistance at the connector on 
the mike and it is less than 2K ohms, it is likely dynamic.  If it is 
10K or more, it is likely an electret element.If it is near infinity 
then likely there is a DC blocking capacitor in the circuit.   The R 
values have nothing to do with impedance, as they are just DC resistance 
values.


The electret element requires bias.  They dynamic will likely distort 
when bias is turned on.

Re: [Elecraft] Looking for Grandkid radio

2015-11-06 Thread David Heinsohn

Neil

  My suggestion would be to shy away from the easy to build, but hard 
to operate, or lower quality receivers. At this point I suspect the 
grandson is not all that interested in how hard or easy a receiver is to 
design or build. Rather I suspect he's interested in listening to stuff. 
Don's suggestion about finding an SDR makes lots of sense. Add a key and 
oscillator so he can make noise but not transmit and away he goes. The 
goal of a quality receiver, that is simple to operate makes sense.


Good Luck,
David

On 11/5/2015 11:14 PM, Don Wilhelm wrote:

Neil,

I have seen several responses recommending a regenerative receiver. I 
would suggest otherwise.  While regenerative receivers are "fun" to 
play with and can be quite sensitive and selective when properly 
tuned, they do require some 'training' to know how to properly operate 
both the tuning and the regen knobs together.   If you want to pursue 
the Regen route, look at some of the regen designs by George Dobbs 
G3RGV - he has several that work well.


Since your grandson likely has access to a computer, I would suggest 
that you look at some of the SDR receivers, such as the SoftRock kits 
- inexpensive and quite functional for all modes. Building the kit 
(with help from grandpa) may peak his interest in building his own 
gear and add to his interest in the hobby. some software running on 
the computer is necessary, but there are several software applications 
that will do - Rocky is one of the easiest to install and configure, 
HDSDR is good but requires a bit more configuration "smarts".  There 
is also PowerSDR that can be used and there may be more that I am not 
familiar with.


If kit building is not in store, then look for a used 
receiver/transceiver that may be up to the task.  If you can find 
someone who has an SWL40 transceiver for sale (ask on the QRP-L 
reflector), that is a good starting point for 40 meters that will give 
good results - there are versions for other bands as well, but I 
suggest that 40 meters is the best starting band for single band 
rigs.  There is usually some activity on 40 when other bands are 
'dead' - and an antenna for 40 meters is of a reasonable size.


I started introducing  my 2 grandsons to electronics when they about 8 
years old.  It only "took" for one of them who got his license at age 
13.  The 6 granddaughters were not interested at all.  So do keep 
working with him - if it "takes", ham radio in its diverse interests 
and niche activity groups can produce a lifelong hobby, and may be an 
introduction to a rewarding career in electronics and/or 
communications technology.


I am one of those examples - I became aware of ham radio in Boy Scouts 
at the age of 14 when the local ham radio club offered classes in 
morse code.  That led to my novice license at age 15, and those ham 
club members, coupled with my interest in math, led me to pursue an 
electrical engineering degree.  That led to a very rewarding career 
and now even though I am officially retired and at age 75 1/2, my 
workbench is always full (and usually backlogged) with repairs of 
Elecraft gear. So there is hope for your grandson to engage in a 
lifelong pursuit that he may really enjoy.  If he enjoys puzzles, he 
may enjoy puzzling over electronics problems which is the heart and 
soul of troubleshooting (and design).

[Elecraft] K3 QSK CW Audio Dropouts

2015-11-06 Thread ok1rp
Hi all,

few days ago I realized on K3 (using latest MCU/FPF) weird receive audio
dropout problem.
It happends during QSK CW operation and it is hearable in audio in between
TX periods > time to time but it is repeatable. I did not heard these
dropouts during receiving only mode...
Simply when I am listenning on K3 all is ok but when I am starting to call
CW or I am making QSO then dropouts in audio are readable in between TX
periods with QSK.

Is there someone with similar effect please?
Is there chance that it is linked to K3S weird transmit audio dropout
problem discussed in different threat?

Thank for ideas.

Re: [Elecraft] Looking for Grandkid radio

2015-11-06 Thread Al Gulseth
I guess my reply suggesting a regen/kit was influenced by my own experience. I 
was around Niel's grandson's age when my dad took me to his workbench in the 
attic. I came away with a homebrew crystal set which I built under his 
tutelage. It would only pick up the two local BC stations, but it worked. (I 
did eventually get to have his old Hallicrafters RX in my room for a while.)

My homebrewing and kitbuilding continued later on from there with items like a 
Heathkit portable AM receiver (which I still have) and on to more recent kit 
offerings including Elecraft.

My experience with today's web/smartphone focused kids is that any mention of 
communicating by radio with someone on the other side of the world is met 
with glazed eyes. Suggest doing that with a radio that they built and watch 
the lightbulb come on

Occurs with DATA A and SSB modes.

Problem occurs with internal or external sound card and even with the
built-in 2 tone test.

The audio dropout is repeatable and precisely formed as two 10 ms dropouts
separated by 15 ms and the pattern repeats every 15 seconds.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Transmit Audio Dropouts

2015-11-06 Thread Don Wilhelm
Yes, Wayne answered a few days ago.  It is caused by the way he samples 
the PA Temperature.

It will be modified in an upcoming firmware release.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 QSK CW Audio Dropouts

2015-11-06 Thread Don Wilhelm

Petr,

Yes, Wayne' explanation was that the PA Temp is sampled between 
characters in CW, so if one uses QSK and listens closely, you can hear 
the gaps in the audio when the K3 returns to receive.


You may find a change in a firmware upgrade coming soon, but I don't 
know when.

If it is the PA Temp issue, the dropouts should only occur on 12, 10 & 6

The other bands will be clean.

[Elecraft] Grandkid Radio / Yaesu VR-5000

2015-11-06 Thread Dauer, Edward
Under the heading of not in use and collecting dust, I have a Yaesu
VR-5000 that I haven¹t used since the month after I bought it, some years
ago.  I¹d be happy to sell it for whatever a fair price is (which would be
fully refundable if the radio doesn¹t work - given that I haven¹t powered
it up in years.)  It might be a bit much for an 8-year old, though - as I
remember, the configuration and operating procedures were too cumbersome
for it to be useful for the purpose I originally bought it.  If you, Neil,
or anyone else is interested, please contact me off-list,

K3SQSK on any band, CW...I hear an occasional clunk or pop but only
when using the bug. Seems like it builds up then suddenly discharges or
something or maybe a weird timing issue. Nothing too serious. I don't
notice it with the internal keyer, just the bug and on the lower bands 80,

That particular audio dropout that I described will only happen on 12,

If something similar is heard on other bands, look for some other cause.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 QSK CW Audio Dropouts

2015-11-06 Thread Bob McGraw - K4TAX
Steve, I believe anything else you are hearing is something else. This 
issue is strictly on 12M, 10M and 6M.  Even noticed on 10M and 6M AM 
with the artifact being a momentary carrier collapse.  It's fast, about 
10 milliseconds and does occur every 15 seconds.


I tried a bug with my K3S and did not find to have reliable keying. I 
cleaned the bug contacts but to no avail.  Went back to the Iambic 
paddles and the internal keyer with 100% satisfaction.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 QSK CW Audio Dropouts

2015-11-06 Thread Steve Ellington
Depends on the bug. With my McElroy stream I had to add a 1uf capacitor in
parallel with it. After reducing the dit gap to compensate to the keying,
it sounds great.
On my Vibroplex Presentation, no capacitor is needed and keying is perfect.
I noticed the same thing on my old K3 and a few other rigs. I suspect it's
something to do with contact bounce due to variations in the dit spring and
how different rigs react to the bounce.
I have to remember we are no longer just keying a circuit rather we are
keying a computer from another planet. :*)

[Elecraft] KDSP2

2015-11-06 Thread Hans Bonnesen

KDSP2

 

The building of my K2 (# 7359 ) was concluded on December 14. 2012, after 
months of sheer joy.

Once again doing something worth-while with a soldering iron in your hands.!!

The result: Amazing,…  and yet I fell for the KDSP2 noise reduction on SSB 
signals as demonstrated on the home page of Elecraft.

Having concluded and installed the KDSP2  I learned that it takes some time to 
get into the deeper intricasies of this add-on module.

A friendly US amateur told me over a couple of mails: ”You will love it when 
you learn to master it. But when you do, it does work wonders.”

He was right, but it does take willpower to remember what you were doing last 
time you changed something.

The reason for the operational difficulties is, that the set-up of bandwith, 
filters and other specifics can only be reached in the second or third level 

of pushbutton strikes. 

After a thorough study of the manual it clear to you, but after a month…. Alas 
!!

 

OZ5RB, Hans
