Re: [Elecraft] K3: Main RX gone deaf

[Vic Rosenthal]

I would suspect one of the relays in the path from the antenna, through the RX 
ant switching circuitry. Then there are the diodes in the t/r switch. 
If you have verified that the RX is working, it must have something to do with 
the path from the antenna. 
Does it transmit OK? The lowpass filters are in the main RX path, I think.

 Hi Udo
 Before you start tearing the rig apart, two ideas:-
 
 -is there a big difference for weak signals of say S4?
 -if not, it may just be the S meter calibration that needs attention.
 -if so, preamp on for either? Att on for main?

[Elecraft] N1MM, KX3, and KXPA100

[Michael Dinkelman via Elecraft]

I've borrowed a KX3 and KXPA100 for the 7QP, going mobile.
I plan to use N1MM for logging, keying, and frequency control.

I can get N1MM to talk to the KX3.
I can get N1MM to talk to the KX3 through the KXPA100 daisy chained
serial connection.

However, whenever I talk through to the KX3 through the KXPA100,
the PA gets turned off. If I turn it back on, it gets turned back off.

I can't find any clues in the manuals and I can't find any clues on a search
of the net.

Someone must be using N1MM to talk to the KX3/KXPA100 combo.
Can someone give me any ideas of what I am doing wrong?

cheers
dink, n7wa

I'm at the final stages of readying a K3 for a friend. I've gone

[Elecraft] K3 60 meter band not seen

[Gary Smith]

I had sent this out earlier but I didn't receive it back so sending 
it again.
---
Folks,

I'm at the final stages of readying a K3 for a friend. I've gone 
through every thing I can think of to be sure it is working 
perfectly. It has all the updates and upgrades available, and it 
seemed to be working perfectly. That is, till I noticed the 60M is 
not showing up when changing bands.

I have done the TX calibrations with the Utility and it calibrated at 

5336 kHz TxGain LP, HP and at 1MW so its in the radio but when I 
change bands it bypasses 5 MHz. From 1.60 MHz up it goes:

1.8
3.7
7
10
14
18
21
24
28
50

Using the MW calibration the Utility tested:

1900 kHz TxGain MW  08
3750 kHz TxGain MW  09
5336 kHz TxGain MW  16
7150 kHz TxGain MW  17
10125 kHz TxGain MW  16
14200 kHz TxGain MW  18
18110 kHz TxGain MW  26
21200 kHz TxGain MW  31
24930 kHz TxGain MW  34
29000 kHz TxGain MW 100
52000 kHz TxGain MW  77


I've never seen this before and looking at the manual, I see nothing 
relating to turning off the 60 meter band or turning it back on. I 
can manually enter a 5 MHz frequency but when I change bands, it 
bypasses it again.

I must be missing some setting but scanning the manual, I see nothing 

under bypassing 60 meters or bypassing 5 MHz.

Suggestions?

73,

Gary

Re: [Elecraft] K3: Main RX gone deaf

[Don Wilhelm]

Udo,

If you check the block diagram of the K3 you should see the area where 
the problem is located (page 76).


Does the main have the same response as the subRX if you use the RX ANT IN?
If so, there is a problem with either the T/R switch or the Low Pass 
filter area.


If the main RX response is still not the same as the subRX when using 
the RX ANT IN, then the problem is in the main receiver itself.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Build - What have I forgotten

[Dick via Elecraft]

Andrew,
Make sure you have the appropriate mic connector turned on (rear or front).  
Set mode to SSB< TAP (not hold) the Menu button, then turn VFO B knob to mic 
setting, then set the right mic input (or line) with the VFO A knob.  Also, 
depending on your mic, you might need to turn on the mic bias using the "2" 
(REV) pad by tapping it on or off.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Build - What have I forgotten

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

Andrew,

Are the settings in MENU:MIC SEL correct? To use the rear plug I have rP.L 
biAS. That means rear panel, low gain and bias on. The bias setting will depend 
on what type mic you're using, on for electrets.

How about mic gain?

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Build - What have I forgotten

[Don Wilhelm]

Andrew,

What microphone are you trying to use?  That is an important question.

It must conform to either the Elecraft or the Kenwood microphone jack 
pinout to use the front panel K3S connector.  The rear panel Mic jack 
works for those microphones that use a 3.5mm plug (Heil, Yamaha CM500 
and other 'computer' microphones).


You must select in the menu between the front panel mic jack and the 
rear panel.  If the microphone has an electret element (Elecraft MH2, 
Yamaha CM500 or computer mic), then you must set Bias on.  If it is a 
dynamic microphone (Kenwood or some Heil microphones), the Bias must be 
set to OFF.

Don W3FPR

fine until I started to try and set it up for SSB. I can get full output
using the two tone test but nothing through the microphone. I also tried a
another microphone plugged in to the rear mic socket. Still nothing.
Any suggestions?

Re: [Elecraft] K3: Main RX gone deaf

[Udo Langenohl - DK5YA]

Gents,

I had another test session today with my K3 and here's what I've done 
and what happened:


1. I've checked all the test points recommended by Elecraft. No issue 
found, all stages are working, there's noise increasing on each test 
point at the Main RX.


2. Fired up my signal generator again and started on the Main RX with a 
signal on the following frequencies and with these results:


Filter settings: 2.7KHz
Preamp off
Att: no
Signal strength: -63 dBm
Mode: USB

28.130 = S6
21.130 = S6
18.130 = S4
14.130 = S2 (!!)
10.130 = S4
7.130 =  S8 (!!)
3.513 =  S6

Same settings at the Sub RX (via AUX IN):

28.130 = S9+5
21.130 = S9+10
18.130 = S9+10
14.130 = S9+10
10.130 = S9+5
7.130 =  S9+10
3.513 =  S9+10

You will see that there are dramatic differences at the Main RX from 
band to band and from S2 (14 MHz) up to S8 (7 MHz). And of course when 
comparing Main RX with Sub RX. Also tried different filter settings (AM, 
CW), no change.


I have no idea what is happening here and what to do next.

73 Udo, DK5YA

Gentleman,

thanks for all so many replies. Will try to check all ideas tomorrow,
XYL permitting ... ;-).

P.S.: The issue occurs at the RX IN and TVTR IN ports of the KXV3A too.

Hi Udo
Before you start tearing the rig apart, two ideas:-

-is there a big difference for weak signals of say S4?
-if not, it may just be the S meter calibration that needs attention.
-if so, preamp on for either? Att on for main?

Gentleman,

I'm struggling with a Main RX vs. Sub RX issue. My Main RX is rather
deaf compared to the Sub RX. I see at least 23.5dB attenuation
between Main RX and Sub RX when comparing highly stable signals from
my signal generator (HP8664A). This is only for ANT1/2 vs. AUX-IN!
Example:
-33dBm on 28.500
into AUX-IN (SUB RX): exactly 59 +40dB
into ANT 1 (Main RX): 59 +15dB
into ANT 2 (Main RX): 59 +15dB

I've checked all the usual suspects (pin diodes):
D1 and D5 on the KXV3A: o.k.
Each and every pin diode on the SUB IN board: o.k.
D5 on the Main RX board: o.k.

This is a K3 #59xx with almost everything inside money can buy.

My second K3 (serial #39xx) does not show this strange behavior.
Main RX and SUB RX show exactly the same values on ANT1/2 and AUX
IN. -33dBm is 59+40 on MAIN and SUB RX, no matter if Ant1, 2 or AUX IN.

Any idea? I'm searching for weeks now and I'm close to give up.

Udo, DK5YA

Re: [Elecraft] TX Noise Gate on KX3 kills VOX delay setting

[David Anderson via Elecraft]

Yes I noticed this a while ago. I never use VOX on SSB, but I do use the noise 
gate which is excellent. I consider it a bug I must say.

Another gotcha is if you have SSB+CW ON and VOX is OFF, the Keyer will key the 
amplifier Keyline out at the CW rate!

Re: [Elecraft] headphone audio

John -

Perhaps you already tried the phones in another piece of gear, or other
phones in the rig, but the first thing I would check is the headphone plug,
to see if the wire to the right phone broke in the plug assembly.

I hope that is all it is.

[Elecraft] How does one get Elecraft's attention?

[Paul Christensen]

>"Simple thing I'm looking for, Olli...to have a local Perseus SDR track
bi-directionally with the K3/0 Mini, and to connect simultaneously with
N1MM.  If the Mini could "look like" a K3, N4PY software could coordinate
everything.  I do this now with my Orion II.  The RCForb software claims to
have K3 emulation, but it really doesn't look anything like a real K3.  It
connects to N1MM, but that's about it.  Ron Castro  N6IE"

Ron,

N4CC and I have been using our K3-Mini and K3/0 setup to communicate to a K3
at our remote site.  I'm not sure if you're using RemoteRig.  We managed to
open up Com ports between RemoteRig and the shack PC to control and
synchronize an SDR-IQ SDR receiver (tracks with the K3) and also use
software like N1MM and MMTY with a microHam USB Interface.  In fact, I can
control N1MM loaded as a client on my home PC.  But for a lousy DSL
connection at the site, it works perfectly.  We also use Win4K3Suite at the
remote site to save and recall our personal K3 settings between us.

So, if you are not using RemoteRig with your K3-Mini, you may want to look
into it.  I can tell you that quite a bit of brain power is needed to get it
all synched and working together as I described, but it's all manageable.

Paul, W9AC

Ron,

The Elecraft people are normally very responsive. However, they are also very 
busy. Also, I believe they only have one person that is very knowledgeable with 
the K3/0 Mini. He may be temporarily away from the office. Also, not sure how 
quickly you expected someone to get back to you as you didn’t explain that 
small detail.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3XREF] Is not synchronizing

[Gary Smith]

Hello Harald,

It is probably best to repost this report to the list as there are 
many there far more knowledgeable about the K3 and what to expect, 
than me on it. With that, I am sending your reply directly to the 
list along with my reply to you.

When I press Rev, I get no flashing XREV IN, it simply says XREV IN 
and then disappears after maybe one second. At that time it returns 
to REF CAL and within moments the asterisk is flashing. As I recall, 
initially it took a bit longer for the asterisk to appear, but it did 
and then it took some time for the REF CAL numerical readout to 
stabilize. Once stabilized I pushed A/B to save that value in memory.

Write down your REF CAL number and then when you feel you have done 
all the right things, slowly turn VFO A and if you are locked in with 
the 10 MHz source, the letters REF CAL will be replaced with LOCKED. 
If this does not happen, return to the number you wrote down to 
return to where you were.

Is it possible you do not have a working 10 MHz source? 

Is it possible either the connector or coax is not completing the 
connection?

Is it possible the pins are not lined up properly in the K3XREF?

At this point, I have no other ideas to help you, hopefully someone 
else can offer more.

73 & good luck,

Gary

Re: [Elecraft] How does one get Elecraft's attention?

['DGB']

The resident expert/inventor is Brandon. He can be reached by simply 
calling Elecraft. I spent many hrs. on the phone with him when I first 
got my K3S/Mini and remote boxes. I'd advice you to install Teamviewer 
on both PC's before calling him. GL.

connects to N1MM, but that's about it.

What exactly are you looking for, Ron? Which kind of "control software"?

I have been very disappointed that the K3/0 Mini, while working well
as a simple remote head for the K3, has no native ability to connect
to other software that one might use at the control point, and no one
at Elecraft has been able to come up with a solution other than RCForb
which has very limited ability to connect with other software and
hardware, virtually no support and even less in the way of documentation.



Maybe what I'm looking for is simply something that Elecraft can't
supply, in which case, I'm prepared to dump the Elecraft equipment I
have invested in and throw in with Flex and the new Maestro product.
At least Flex returns my email.
