Re: [Elecraft] K3-S - CW Keying for Contests

[Bill Frantz]

Allow me to disagree with Jim and Rick on this issue and 
recommend some native Mac programs. I have used RUMlog (a 
general purpose log program) and RUMped (a contest logger) for 
several years. They are mature programs and Thomas, DL2RUM 
provides excellent support. He has a new logging program, 
RUMlogNG which provides the functionality of both programs and 
is available at not cost through the Apple App store.


I just installed RUMlogNG yesterday, and am still getting it set 
up. It will cooperate with fldigi to provide digital modes and 
will directly run a K3 or KX3. Since the K3S is operationally 
the same as the K3 as far as computer control is concerned, it 
should also "just work".


NOTE: If anyone wants to load old QSOs into RUMlogNG, read the 
getting started documentation first.


I am also a big fan of cocoaModem for digital modes. It supports 
decoding both the main and sub receivers, which is nice for 
working pileups.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 in RTTY Contesting

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

The most destructive element to all solid state devices is. HEAT!

The KPA500 seems well protected and will drop off line if the 
temperature exceeds a preset level.   My only concern regarding pushing 
an amp like this or any other solid state amp to near rated values, same 
for near maximum heat values, what happens if the protection circuit 
fails?   Hopefully the software will recognize a protective circuit 
failure and shut the amp down.

The source code is available. I have downloaded it, but I 
haven't tried to see if it builds. Jack, W6FB pointed out to me 
that the tuning "eye" for RTTY wasn't working. (The two for Dual 
RTTY which decodes both receivers do work.) Jack's report may 
provoke me to try to learn Mac programming.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 in RTTY Contesting

[Ken K6MR]

I run both of mine full power on RTTY. Fans occasionally come on full speed 
(control on Auto) but my amps are in a closet (not on the desk) so the noise is 
not an issue..

I believe the spec is 10 min on, 5 min off at full power. The amp is well 
protected against temp and swr so I wouldn’t worry.

Re: [Elecraft] K3-S - CW Keying for Contests

[Jack Brindle]

I would not call CocoaModem orphaned. It is open-source, and when things break, 
we (myself included) are trying to fix them.
It is not well supported, however.

And, it works pretty well under OS X 10.11.3 (El Capitan) on my Mac mini.

seconds.

3. All I did was hit the DISP button, then hit it again to look at the clock 
again and it was back on the correct time. As if it re-read itself and updated

4. What the heck?

[Elecraft] KPA500 in RTTY Contesting

I am curious to others experience with the KPA500 in a RTTY  Contest. What
 is the power level that others have used, fan levels and long term affect

I ask, as so far I have run the amp at no more than 300 watts with the fans
at there highest level. I do not want to harm the power transistors.

Re: [Elecraft] K3-S - CW Keying for Contests

[Kevin Stover]

For any windows users watching this thread who actually care what their 
morse sounds like in a contest I would suggest the WinKeyUSB3 from K1EL. 
Instead of relying on windows to correctly key the rig with a direct 
serial connection the contest software generates ASCII characters and 
sends the string to the Winkey which keys the rig perfectly.


Windows does what it does best, which is move data around, rather than 
trying to properly time morse code through a serial port.


The Winkey works with all the windows contest software and most regular 
loggers. It also works with CQRLog in Linux and works on the Mac as 
well. I have no idea if the Mac contest software supports it or not.

OOPS .. I forgot my Periodic table.  Heat is  not an element. But 
the same thing applies.

Re: [Elecraft] K3-S - CW Keying for Contests

[Rick Prather]

I second the vote for RUMLogNG for both general logging and many contests.
It's a good way to get back in without spending the time required to learn
the Windows contest programs.

BTW, RUMLogNG supports the WINkeyer and I usually use it but I have never
had problem with my Mac using the onboard K3 Keyer ( an option with the RUM
family ).

BTW, the K3 and P3 control screens built in to RUMLogNG are great and very
useful and I find myself really missing the P3 control screen if I am
running something else.

Unsupported or not I find CocoaModem to be very useful especially if you
have the Sub receiver.  It lets you monitor both receivers on one screen.

Anyway, I suggest you start out with these Mac programs and if you later
decide you are missing something then you can go through the hoops of
setting up a VM and running Windows.

Have fun,

RIck

[Elecraft] K2 very low audio

[Edward Finn]

Hello,
After years of operation I decided to add a serial port to my low power k2.
I use it with the kv60 as an if for vhf/uhf transvertors.

So I have been doing a lot of menu stuff and may have corrupted something.
I have full output in tune out cw, but almost no output now in ssb. There
is a small amount of output of I yell in the mike or transmit through my
sound card.

The radio was working fine Monday night...

I see something curious that could be the culprit. I may have corrupted a
menu setting.
On the ssb adapter board, at the audio input there is a signature called
/atten coming from the pic. It is active low.

Can anyone tell me what menu option changes this pin?

Thanks
Ed wa3drc

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 in RTTY Contesting

[Ken K6MR]

I monitor mine with the remote program which shows temp on screen. When the 
fans go to high speed the temp drops very quickly. The thermal design appears 
to have plenty of reserve capability. I think the temp cut off is 90C. I’ve 
never seen mine go above 73C.

Re: [Elecraft] K3-S - CW Keying for Contests

[Jim Brown]

I would hesitate to call these "full featured and mature" as compared to 
DXKeeper, which automates applications for awards like DXCC, and 
tabulates totals for dozens of awards by band and mode. Nor as compared 
to N1MM Logger Plus, which supports hundreds of contests and has many 
features that simplify contesting and make the operator more 
competitive. N1MM Logger Plus supports hundreds of rigs; RUMPed supports 
only the handful of rigs the program author owns and is feature-poor 
compared to N1MM Logger Plus. DXKeeper supports IOTA, WAS, WAC, WAZ, 
WPX, CQ Field Award, US counties, VUCC (VHF/UHF grids), Fred Fish (6M US 
grids), and dozens of awards from ham societies in UK, France, Spain, 
Russia, Japan, and lots of other countries. It imports contest logs, and 
allows you to keep track of QSOs by contest!  It also logs TX power, so 
I can sort QSOs by power to check for status of what I've achieved QRP 
(150 countries worked so far).


NY4I just posted statistics for logging programs used by those 
submitting logs for CQWW CW and SSB last year. N1MM was the most popular 
by far -- 44% of logs used it. WinTest was next with 8%, TR4Win with 6%, 
CTESTWIN, N3FJP, and WriteLog , each with 4%, and QARTest with 3%. ALL 
of those are Windoze programs.


I made the recommendations for DXKeeper and N1MM because they are top 
programs in their class -- you won't find yourself having to learn 
something else when you get serious, or export years of logs to a new 
format. They are both FREE, well supported, and reasonably easy to 
learn. Indeed, my experience has been that it's much easier to learn a 
program when you don't have UN-learn another program that does the same 
thing.


FWIW -- I started with WriteLog in 2003, used it for four years. Friend 
AE6RF was running FD for our group and declared that we were using N1MM, 
so I downloaded and learned it. Within four months, I had abandoned 
WriteLog, and I've never looked back. It wasn't the cost, it was the 
features!

[Elecraft] Price Increase Alert for Feb 4th.

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Early alert for our Elecraft list readers:

We're finally implementing the planned price changes that we first mentioned 
late last year. We ended up delaying that change due to both the large holiday 
season order rush and several ham shows, both of which always generate a lot of 
sales sales activity and keep our sales team very busy.


As noted before, our costs are going up as our vendors increase their prices to 
us and our labor costs also increase. (Its a never ending battle to keep costs 
down as economic activity has picked up the last two years.) We've been 
absorbing all of these increases, but now we have hit the point where we  must 
increase prices slightly on a number of our products.


The prices will change on next Thursday, Feb. 4th.  Our on-line order forms will 
update with the new pricing at that time.


Please resist the urge to call or email our sales / support people about which 
specific products will be changing or how much the changes will be, as they do 
not have this information. (We're still in the middle getting everything entered.)


Of course, all orders received -prior- to the Feb 4th increase will be charged 
at the lower pre-increase pricing when they ship.


73,
Eric

Re: [Elecraft] K3-S - CW Keying for Contests

[Jack Brindle]

Yes, but if you apply that category to all programs, there are very few, 
including commercial apps, that survive. I am 100% certain that there are major 
software applications that are now completely detached from the developers (any 
developers), that perfectly fit your description. Some of these would amaze 
you. Companies make decisions all the time to do this, wise or not. sigh…

At least with Chen’s programs we have the opportunity to pick up support and 
even add features, something you cannot do with non-open source software.

What’s really amazing about this is that I’m not usually a proponent of 
open-source. In some cases it is the far better approach.

[Elecraft] K3 extra xmit frequency

[Bill Stravinsky via Elecraft]

A friend of mine (100 miles away) recently noticed a dual signal being 
transmitted from my K3 possibly coming to lightsince I went to high power.  The 
problem has surfaced when I xmit on 40 & 80 (don't know of other instances).  
Thereis a duplicate signal 18khz lower on cw, reduced of course but pretty 
loud.  The first cw character starts out with a chirpbut cleans up after the 
transmission begins, but still seems like its not a pure signal according to my 
good friend.
RADIO HISTORY: added the 2nd vfo, synth boards, newer dsp board, newer kio3
also had a K4 tell me I had strong dual signal in a recent contest (not sure 
but might have been on 20 mtrs)
Any ideas on the cause(s)??
BillK3WJV
p.s. sure would be nice if I had one of my S line rcvrs operating to gain 
possible causes right in the shack!

It would be even 'cooler' if the KX3/K3 clocks were locked to MSF or RWM for

transceiver clocks are plenty accurate enough for the purpose of our logs.  If

[Elecraft] Using the internal K144xv to feed other transverters.

[Dave Glenn]

I have the internal 2 meter transverter.  I would like to use it to feed my
other transverters for 2, 3, 5 and 10ghz. 

However, when setting it up in the K3 I don't see that I can drive a
transverter from a transverter. 

Has anyone tried this before?  The XV RF setting only goes up to 50mhz and I
don't see how I could feed one from another.

Hi Ken,

Yes, the USB keyboard is not active when not in data display mode. I 
realize that folks are using the Genovation  keypad as means of 
executing macros to control the K3 (and soon the P3), however the USB 
keyboard port was designed for data.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 - SVGA Save/Restore State via USB Working

[Paul Saffren N6HZ]

Hi Ken, 

I am not familiar with the USB switch but if it is electronic and not
mechanical there could be an issue since the SVGA USB port is limited as to
what it can support.  For example it does not support a hub or really
anything except a USB thumb drive and/or keyboard.

[Elecraft] K3-S - CW Keying for Contests

 I received my K3-S a few weeks ago - and I have been

them I will hoist some Yagi’s up… but in the meantime - I am enjoying the 
awesome RX/TX on this radio….

I used to be quite an active contest station (alas no 4x4x4 here) - on 
CW/SSB and Occasionally RTTY - so please may I ask for some steerage/advice 
regarding the best way to connect a K3-S to a PC so I can automate some of the 
repetition of contest work …. I fully understand and accept "DE TEST” is not 
everyone’s cup of tea… But I enjoy it at times.

It appears that WinKeyer is popular - will that suffice just for CW ? 
How about Data Modes ??

I would prefer not to have 3 or 4 options - but too keep things simple. 
In the “old days” I used to use a SignaLink - which I found flexible and 
worthwhile.


OS for PC:  
Linux or Mac - NOT Windows

Many thanks for taking the time to read this

Re: [Elecraft] K3S DIGOUT1 question

[RIchard Williams via Elecraft]

Jim,
I would think you could create a macro to accomplish this.  The commands would 
be SWT25;BN00;  this would turn on the RX ANT, change the band to 160M.   You 
could add additional commands to the string to set more options (like Split up 
2 or 5 or whatever floats your boat.
The one thing to remember is the SWT25 command toggles the RX ANT on or off; 
unlike some other commands (like BN00), it does not "set" the position (if you 
to send the SWT25;BN00; Macro a second time, the band (160M) would stay the 
same, but the RX ANT would now turn off.
Additionally, when you send a band change command (like BN00, BN01, BN02, 
etc.), you need a 300 ms delay before sending another command in the string.  
Other than inserting one or two semicolons after the BNxx command, before 
additional commands, the easiest approach might be to put the BNxx; command 
last in the string.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 - SVGA USB Serendipitous Solution

[Paul Saffren N6HZ]

Hi Ken, 

I don't understand what you mean by 'toggle a USB device'.  The P3/SVGA
board will enumerate a USB keyboard or thumb drive even if the SVGA en is
turned off (the display is turned off) OR data display mode is turned off. 
I just checked.You can verify that by opening up the P3 and looking on
the SVGA card.  Whenever a USB device is correctly enumerated, the LED
toward the connector will light solid. 

Kind regards, 

Paul

[Elecraft] Digital Input Pin?

[David Kuechenmeister]

I was looking for a way to automatically reduce power when operating on 
batteries. It seems like another transceiver I once owned had a pin that, when 
grounded would reduce output power to conserve batteries.
I don't see any handy way to do this with the K3, other than crank down the 
power...
It looks like all the ACC pins are defined, so except for making one of them a 
programmable I/O pin, I think I'm out of luck. Is there anyone else interested 
in a programmable input pin that could be tied to a macro command?

[Elecraft] K3S and Flex 6500....

[Michael Cozzi]

Hi everyone.

I'm already an Elecraft customer and own a KPA500 which is driven 
by an Apache ANAN 100D. This rig works wonderfully.


I'm at a quandary and trying to decide between a K3S or a Flex 6500 
for a second operating position in my shack.


If there's someone who owns both rigs, and feels like being of 
assistance, please feel free to e-mail me directly. I'd like to keep 
this off list for obvious reasons


Thanks in advance!

Re: [Elecraft] K3-S - CW Keying for Contests

[Rick Tavan]

You need to consider several separate aspects of radio automation. Assuming
you are operating with one radio, consider these:

   - Operating System: There are logging programs for Linux and MacOS but
   your choices are much more limited than with Windows. When I switched from
   Windows to MacOS, I tried Snookum Logger but found it primitive compared to
   Windows offerings. There are other possibilities that I know nothing about.
   At this point I run a virtual Windows machine on my Macbook Pro under
   VMware Fusion. It's complicated but it works.
   - Rig Control: Connect either an RS232 cable or USB cable from your
   computer to the K3s. Tell your logging program the COM port number (or
   identify the USB connection to MacOS) and characteristics (typically
   38400-N-8-1) and then the logger will track the radio's frequency and mode.
   You can also type in a frequency and most loggers will send the rig there.
   Not all of them, though.
   - CW Keying: Although you can key the K3s through the same serial port
   that you use for rig control, I advise against it because unrelated load on
   your computer can sometimes result in "stuttering" - poor keying. Instead,
   I like to use an external keyer and the WinKeyer USB is a very good choice.
   It connects to your computer via a USB cable, to your paddle and to the the
   K3s Key In connector. It forms dots and dashes outside the computer and
   works very well for both computer and manual sending. Some people prefer to
   connect the paddle to the K3 PADDLE input to provide separate speed control
   for manual and computer sending. (I use two paddles, one through the
   external keyer and one direct to the K3.)
   - Voice Messages: If you operate phone, you may want to automate contest
   messages, especially CQ, Exchange and Thanks. If you have the K3s internal
   voice keyer, you can use that, provided your logging program supports it.
   If not, you can let your logger generate voice messages and transfer them
   to the K3 via a sound card. It is best to use an external sound card rather
   than the one inside the computer in order to avoid computer sound effects
   getting transmitted. The Griffen iMic card is simple and inexpensive. (The
   Asus Xonar family are more sophisticated and probably "better." I don't
   have mine working yet.) There are dozens of alternatives. You can plug into
   K3 Line In and leave your live microphone connected to front or rear MIC In
   connectors.
   - Data Modes: The quickest way to get here is to connect a pair of 3.5mm
   phone cables between an external sound card and the K3 Line In and Line Out
   connectors. Run AFSK or PSK with appropriate software. Many prefer FSK
   which requires a cable from a serial port (or carefully chosen
   USB-to-Serial adapter) to the FSK line on the K3 ACC connector. You can
   also use a Signalink or other multi-function interface box, but it's not
   required and won't be any simpler. It might save some cable swapping when
   changing between voice and data modes, depending on the box and how you set
   things up.

There are lots of "moving parts" and patience is a virtue. Consider the
project of getting it all working to be part of your pursuit of ham radio.
Take it one piece at a time and enjoy each individual success.

If you operate two radios (SO2R), it's more complicated. ;-)

GL & 73,

[Elecraft] K3 - 10 Meters

[Larry Boekeloo]

My K3 is rather "deaf" on 10 and I was wondering how significant the KSYN3A 
synthesizer board would be at improving that?  Is it worth the money?
Anyone have experience with that?
Thanks.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - 10 Meters

[Dave Cole]

Hi,
I noticed no change in RX sensitivity, but I did not test for that
either.  I did however notice a very big difference in adjacent signal
interference...

See:

http://nk7z.net/wiki/elecraft-k3-macros/elecraft-k3-xlr-to-radio/elecra
ft-k3-new-synthesizer/

for some P3 graphs of the difference in both transmit, and receive...  

For me the addition of the new synths was a godsend as I have a ham
living just 700 feet from me.  He now has a K3 as well, and with new
synths as well...  

Neither he, nor I, even know the other is active unless we get within
about 10 KHz of each other now...  See the graphs to see the
difference.

Re: [Elecraft] Using the internal K144xv to feed other

[Dave]

I have been doing this for years now for 1296 through 24048Mhz

Quote from the K3 manual XV RF:  "But if the K144XV is being used as an IF
for a higher-band
transverter, you can set it to the lower edge of the higher band.

For example for 1296MHz I Set the XVn ADR to int trn1 and XV RF to 1296

Dave
WW2R

 I have the internal 2 meter transverter.  I would like to use it to feed my
other transverters for 2, 3, 5 and 10ghz. 

However, when setting it up in the K3 I don't see that I can drive a
transverter from a transverter. 

Has anyone tried this before?  The XV RF setting only goes up to 50mhz and I
don't see how I could feed one from another.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - 10 Meters

[Richard Thorne]

What you need is the updated KXV3B.

I upgraded from the KXV3A.  The B version includes 2 preamps for 12,10 
and 6 meters.


I've noticed a significant improvement on 10m.

Re: [Elecraft] K3-S - CW Keying for Contests

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

Regarding this point, to me the easiest way to run Data modes is to 
simply use the USB connection between the radio K3S and the computer USB 
port.  No box, no USB to Serial adapter or other cables required.  I use 
FLDIGI and it handles CAT control of the radio and data/audio.  Set the 
CONFIG menu RS232 to USB and not RS-232 which is the default as I 
recall.  No cable swapping when changing modes, SSB, CW or digital.

Welcome back to contesting. Like you, I started contesting as a 
teenager, drifted in and out of ham radio several times in 60 years, and 
have been quite active for the last 13 years. N6XI has given you great 
advice. I'll only add to it.


First, unless you want to spend your time with computer issues, stick 
with Windoze -- pickin's for software get slim in other OSs. For 
day-to-day logging, use DXKeeper, which does everything anyone might 
need. It's part of a FREEWARE suite of programs. Very mature, bug free, 
well supported. Supports LOTW and eQSL almost automatically once you're 
set up.


For contest logging, go with N1MM Logger Plus, also FREEWARE, and well 
supported. The only viable alternatives, WriteLog and WinTest cost 
money. N1MM is superior to WriteLog. Some swear by WinTest.
