Re: [Elecraft] OT National Hearing Test

2015-12-21 Thread Fred Jensen

I have profound traumatic hearing loss from 50 years ago, I have a copy 
of my latest audiogram and, with Jim's advice, I have tried to replicate 
its inverse in my K3 RX EQ.  Jim showed me how to get around 30 dB EQ 
range, I just have to run the AF Gain higher, and it works.


My hearing aids are fantastic, they came from the VA and I am truly 
grateful to the US taxpayers, they, and several of their predecessors 
have changed my life for the better.  They run at afterburner roar, or 
so my wife says.  They even talk to each other ... if one decides it's 
time to switch "programs," the other follows immediately.


I did the test, failed miserably, which wasn't a surprise. :-)  Every 
time they stuff me into the little silent booth, part of the test 
includes speech in noises.


I'm a basic failure on SSB in a contest but my K3 has been the best 
receiver I've ever had on phone.  For those who might be facing gradual 
hearing loss, a test like this can make a big difference for you.

Yes, this is a legitimate research project and service. Yes, it costs $5. I’m 
putting aside some time to do it myself. I have have some pretty nasty tinnitus 
(ringing in the ears) for the past couple of decades. If you don’t have it,

Re: [Elecraft] OT National Hearing Test

2015-12-21 Thread Doug Person via Elecraft

This actually is quite interesting and relevant. It's worth
understanding how well you hear a given signal in typical conditions:
white noise with a mix of other interesting audio phenomena. Whether
consciously or unconsciously there is always the question of your own
hearing abilities versus the receiver. Knowing your own performance
envelope can help you gain insight into how best to adjust your receiver
to accommodate your own needs. I also think list moderation is Eric's
job. Thus, your comment seems to be a tad bit out of line.

David - thanks for bringing this at least to my attention. I found it
useful and interesting.

[Elecraft] Lost by USPS (perhaps stolen in Chicago area) KX1 and accessories

2015-12-21 Thread Chuck Guenther

I loaned my KX1 to a good friend in Chicago.  He mailed it back to me 
"1-day priority mail" on Dec. 2.  I never got it, and we are in the 
process of filing an insurance claim with the USPS.  (Elecraft sales has 
kindly agreed to send me a duplicate sales invoice, since that was lost 
as well).


Since the item may have been stolen, I'm reporting my loss here, in case 
anyone on this list sees a KX1 for sale.


KX1 s/n 2512, built during March 2011; KXAT antenna tuner; KXB3080 
adapter; BNC to binding post adapter; Palm Paddle attached to the left 
side of the case; Pelican 1150 orange case.

All:




Back when the K3S first came out I did the math on the cost of upgrading a K3 
Classic to add the K3IO, the new tuner, two KSyn3A's and all of the other 
upgrades versus purchasng a new K3S, and came to the conclusion that I could 
sell my old K3 Classic on eHam or eBay or privately (~4000 S/N range) and move 
up to a brand new K3S for just a few hundred dollars additional.

By doing this I was able to reset the clock and start all over again with a 
brand new rig with all the upgrades and a full year's warranty to boot.  You 
can save even more by moving your sub RX from the old rig to the new rig -- the 
Sub RX is one item which did not change.
Put your old price list and the new price list side by side and you will see 
that most items have not increased all that substantially compared t the 
benefits you receive when upgrading.
 



Re: [Elecraft] KIO3B pricing (was: Re: K3IOB)

Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft Sat, 19 Dec 2015 13:00:04 -0800
Also note that the KIO3B has all of the original KIO3 analog and digital 
functionality and HW. Adding the usb sound and USB data hw to that did not 
increase the end price by over $200.Lastly at ham radio market volumes, which 
are much lower than most consumer 
products, the cost to develop and support any design is folded in the price we 
must charge over time. We can't survive any other way.

Re: [Elecraft] K3EXREF Ext. Frequency Reference Input

2015-12-21 Thread David Cole

Speaking of using a GPSDO, I have a quick question...

I use a program called SBSpectrum, it shows frequency changes less than
one Hz.  

I note that the K3, does frequency correction in small sawtooth steps of
about 1/4 to 1 Hz, across a few seconds of time, repeatedly...  It is as
if some threshold is passed and the K3 then instantly jumps to a
corrected frequency, and then the process repeats...

I would like to avoid this, does using a GPSDO avoid this method keeping
the frequency stable?

 turned it back on, and after about an hour, a repeat performance. I

Hi Chuck:

I tired sending you an email direct, but it bounced for some reason.  Yes I am 
now aware of the product from Force-12, actually it comes from Leo Bodnar in 
the U.K. Very nice unit and probably the way to go. Tnx.

Hi Wes:

Actually for what it is worth, the board inside are Trimble Boards with a 
Trimble oven. I have also corresponded with Leo on his 2 GPSDO units. I like 
the fact that he says I will have no problem using the unit with both of my

Re: [Elecraft] K3 audio respons

2015-12-21 Thread Don Wilhelm


Assuming you are using DATA A mode, the filter defaults to 400 Hz.
Widen the filter width using the Width and Shift knobs to a wide 
bandpass (2.8kHz) and you should find you have a flat audio output with 
RX EQ set with all bands at zero.


If you are using SSB mode, there can be other factors involved which are 
not helpful - use DATA A.

To obtain a flat reponse i have to put the equaliser to +16 on the freq

This seems very odd.
Putting the equaliser on 0dB for the full range give a rapid rolloff above
1KHz.

I want to get a flat response for jt65 use.
Any ideas?

No, you weren't "transmitting" and you have a *trans*ceiver.  If you are just 
going to listen, you should use a three transistor, solar-powered receiver.


You've been warned that the biggest threat to this country is global 
warm...sorry...climate change and you must do your part. So NSA and it's Chinese 
partners saw that you were only listening and shut you down.

2015-12-21 Thread James Bennett

I’ve got a Bioenno Power BLF-1212WS (LiFEPo4) sitting here on my desk, being 
charged by their supplied 117v charger, model FY1502000 switching power supply. 
It makes zero hash or crud on my KX3, K3, or SoftRock Ensemble RXTX (40,30, 20 
meter version). No ferrite donuts wound on my leads. What power supply are you 
using?

I use three discarded 12v server back-up bateries which are discarded
from the server room after one year of service, but are generally
worth three to four years usage. Mine are connected to a  West
Mountain Super PWRgate PG40S between my Power supply and the 12 volt
equipment.  When the mains power goe's down there isn't a flicker in
my 12v equipment.

Works great

2015-12-21 Thread Bob

My radio club, Newport County Radio Club (W1SYE), has been using a Bioenno
Power 30 AH LiFePO4 battery for a few years on many of our Island on the
Air activations as well as Jamboree on the Air.  We were running a 100 Watt
HF radio from early morning to sunset at 100 watts output.  In all our
activations, we have not come even close to depleting that battery, less
than 20 AH were put back into the battery on charge. Those IOTA events
generate large pileups and hundreds of QSOs over a period of about 8 hours.

I've also run a K3 on Field Day, at our GOTA station, for 16 hours out of
the 24 hour period using a LiFePO4 battery.  During that time hundreds of
QSOs were made at 100 watts. At the time I was using a 60 AH battery, and
the current consumed was 34 AH.  It certainly helped that the K3 has low RX
current as well.  GOTA is not as demanding as a full blown CW run station,
but it is certainly more than casual operation.

Our full blown Field Day run station is run off a 9 AH LiFePO4 battery for
a full hour to obtain the Alternative Power Bonus -- In that time, hundreds
of QSOs are made, and the battery is more than up to the task.

Expect that a hard core contester using a K3 in full run mode will consume
about 8 Amps an hour (8AH).  A search and pounce station will consume about
2 Amps per hour, and casual operation will consume about 1 Amp. All at full
output.

Which one?  I didn't like the EMI from the 10 amp model but could live with it 
if absolutely necessary.

I've been talking to them about the problem hams have with noise and we might 
convince them to sell quieter LiFePO4 chargers.

Re: [Elecraft] Fwd: Fw: It's almost Christmas. Have you gotten your 15% off yet!

2015-12-21 Thread Marc Veeneman

Charger voltage as it finishes the internal balance cycle rises to 14.6 volts.  
The K3 and KX3 seem happy then.

40 amp hours at 12-13 volts should last 4 hours key down.  I don't usually last 
that long.  But the charger QRN is about S2 so you could conduct tag chew QSOs 
while recharging.  

My approach is to have a backup ready.  YMMV

You are probably set for the wrong transmission mode, or have narrowed 
the IF bandwidth settings. Use Digital A for all computer-generated and 
decoded modes except RTTY. Set the IF bandwidth at the widest setting.

Re: [Elecraft] PTT/VOX

2015-12-21 Thread Ken K6MR

Check option 4 in the CW WGHT menu to be sure it is set to VOX NOR and not AUTO 
OFF.

Otherwise it should be whatever it was when you last powered off. Assuming you 
are not killing the power supply instead of using the power button.

[Elecraft] K3 audio respons

2015-12-21 Thread on4iq

I am sure someone can inform me, i reinstalled the K3 setup and did a check
on the output , audio output.
To obtain a flat reponse i have to put the equaliser to +16 on the freq
above 1khz, and -16 on the freq below 800hz.
This seems very odd.
Putting the equaliser on 0dB for the full range give a rapid rolloff above
1KHz.

I want to get a flat response for jt65 use.
Any ideas?

Re: [Elecraft] Fwd: Fw: It's almost Christmas. Have you gotten your 15% off yet!

2015-12-21 Thread Marc Veeneman

BioennoPower LiFePO4 batteries solved my power supply birdies problem.  I now 
run the KX3/PX3/KXPA100 and the K3/P3/VGA monitor each from a 40 Ah battery.  
They came with chargers so I habitually recharge whenever I QRT.  

It's so nice to be free of AC mains restrictions and free from linear supply 
inefficiency as well as switching ps noise that I've purchased their Pelican 
model 1200 watt hour model to act as backup to the 40s and to handle my field 
day power.  

That big power pack has a builtin inverter and solar charge controller as well 
as USB outlets to recharge/power my portable speakers and the MacBook Air.  It 
seemed expensive at first but then I took another look at the investment in 
Elecraft gear and decided power for them isn't THAT expensive.

[Elecraft] [K3 powers off]

2015-12-21 Thread Mike Reublin NF4L

I got a new K3 feature for Christmas. Today just sitting here with the K3 on, I 
heard some relay chatter and the rig turned off. I turned it back on, and after 
about an hour, a repeat performance. I wasn't doing any transmitting.

73, Mike NF4L

2015-12-21 Thread Jim Brown

Here's a nice discount on excellent LiFePO4 batteries. Their prices are 
already very good, and 15% discount makes it even better. They sell 
batteries and chargers in all sizes and Ah ratings. I bought the 
BLF-1220W last summer for a friend to use on a back-packing trip to a 
rare 6M grid.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and Band Data

2015-12-21 Thread Bill Frantz

One correction. The CONFIG:KIO3 setting can change the band 
outputs to specify which transverter you are using instead of 
which HF/6M band you are using. See page 19 of the manual.


I am using the band outputs as input to a Arduino based homebrew 
antenna switch with on problems.

Charles,

What are the characteristics of the inputs of your external device?
The K3 band data outputs have pullup resistors to provide +5 
volts or zero volts to an external device.  If that device 
requires +12 volts and zero volts, it will not work.
I might also point out that some early K3s do not have pullup 
resistors internally, but provide an open drain output.  Those 
need external pullup resistors to +5 volts in the external 
device or installation on the internal resistors in the K3 - 
the internal resistors are documented as part of the K3ALC Mod.


Do you have any other device (such an the KPA500 or other 
amplifier) connected which also wants to use the band data 
lines.  That can complicate the addition of another device on 
the band data lines.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

2015-12-21 Thread John Gibson

Hi Kevin,

Jean and I had been in Kalamazoo and returned to Alma too late for me to check 
in to ECN/20. I tried for ECN/40 and think I heard you announce the net, but 
you were so buried in QRN that I could judge it was you only by the rhythm of 
your sending. I tried to respond, but am not sure you could hear me.

The weather here has been mild, punctuated by occasional snow squalls. Jean and 
I ran into a blizzard and dangerously icy roads on our trip down to Kalamazoo, 
which was experiencing a lake-effect snow storm and had a couple of inches 
accumulation on the ground when we arrived

We plan to be in Kalamazoo though the Christmas holidays, but I hope to rejoin 
you on the Elecraft net early in the new year.

Merry Christmas.

John, no8v

Re: [Elecraft] K3EXREF Ext. Frequency Reference Input

If you prefer a US source of a GPSDO, you might look at this one.  I have a 
friend who uses this one and prefers it over the Trimble based units.

Hi:

Has anyone used or had experience using the K3EXREF with this item as the 10Mhz 
source:

Trimble GPS Receiver GPSDO 10MHz 1PPS GPS Disciplined Clock with RS232 Port

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Trimble-GPS-Receiver-GPSDO-10MHz-1PPS-GPS-Disciplined-Clock-with-rs232-port-/252162780444?hash=item3ab612ad1c:g:udkAAOSwhcJWQCPM

It looks like it would be a nice 10Mhz source for the K3WXREF and the K3, but 
unfamiliar with this product. Welcome all comments good or bad.
