The traces drifting in frequency and modulated by noise tells us it's a 
switching power supply.

Digital circuitry or SMPS are the most likely cause. See my latest 
tutorial, linked below, to learn how to tell which is which. 34 kHz 
suggests a 17 kHz square wave.

[Elecraft] RFI on K3s

I am seeing a repetitive RFI source every 34kHz from somewhere less than
20MHz thru 30MHz plus...

See attached image.  The amplitude alternates high/low every other
appearance.  The overall amplitude is higher or lower depending on the
location within the spectrum  Almost a sine wave function with a
VERY long period.

Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what is causing it?  I disco'd every
switch-mode power supply in the shack and adjacent rooms (couldn't do

[Elecraft] KX3/PX3 Lines on the screen

2016-06-19 Thread Bill Frantz


Probably I'll kick myself for asking a dumb question, but here goes.

Receiving on a dummy load, I am getting a pattern of lines on 
the PX3 screen with my KX3. There are 5 strong lines and 2 week 
lines symmetrically on either side of the green bar (tuned 
frequency). When I tune the KX3, they move with the green bar. 
They move down by about 8 KHz when I switch RX SHFT to 8.0 from 
NOR. The closest lines to the tuned frequency are about 12 KHz 
above and below it. The other lines are not evenly spaced, but 
are spaced about 3-6 KHz apart. Turning RX ISO on has no effect.


When I attach an antenna, I get normal results from signals on 
the band. The signals are not distributed symmetrically they way 
they would be if the I/Q cable was not inserted all the way on 
the PX3 and KX3. (And I pushed really hard too.)


Any ideas of what is going on? Any way to "cure" it?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 keying AFSK?

2016-06-19 Thread Don Wilhelm


Can you decode RTTY signals?  If not, get that working as a first step.

Is the soundcard device selected in HRD the same one that is connected 
to the K3 Line-In and Line Out jacks?  The soundcard LINE OUT (or SPKR) 
should connect to the K3 LINE IN.
Do you have the computer soundcard output level sliders set to 75% or 
greater?

Set the MIC SEL in the K3 menu to LINEIN.
Adjust the K3 "MIC LEVEL" (actually the Line-in level) so you have 4 
bars solid with the 5th bar flashing on the ALC meter.

Turn on VOX and it should transmit.

Richard,

What do you have set as the keying method in DM-780? I use it extensively
and have never had an issue. I believe I have it set to use HRD keying,
which does not require the use of vox for keying.

Hope this helps.

Re: [Elecraft] Trying to gauge interest

2016-06-19 Thread Ken Arck

If you look at the schematics of the KATU, you'll see the chain of
shift registers on the KATU actually sends a signal back to the RF
board. So the CPU sends the command to the KATU and if the ATU
doesn't respond (via the MISO3 line), the CPU interprets that to mean
the KATU isn't present

As for handling 100 watts, I don't see a problem as I use the exact
same OMRON relay the KATU does and I considered inductance in the pc layout

Hi,

Is there any reason why this should not work with a K3/100 also? BTW, how do
you convince the firmware that an ATU is installed? When I press "ANT" on my
ATU-less K3/100 I get the message "NO ATU". If both these concerns can be
put away, count me in, too. I have always been bummed that I can't get two
antennas without installing the ATU which I do not want to do. I consider an
ATU to be part of the antenna system and should be installed as close to the
antenna as possible (my KAT 500 is at the far end of a 100' coax run).

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

2016-06-19 Thread Dave B via Elecraft

Yes, it will probably work when everything else has failed, so long as 
power is still good.


But...   Here in the UK, HAMNET still has a LONG way to go, not because 
of any technical issue, but we are generally not allowed to carry third 
party (and certainly no non-HAM) traffic, and not interconnected with 
the public internet (or telephone) without a "Notice of variation" to 
our licences.  And they can be a pain to get.


HAMNET is a great idea,  but not the first.   The Eastern Europeans have 
had a high speed data backbone (10MBPS afaik) running up and down the 
Balkans for some years, using RF, WiFi and NIR systems.


Sadly, that will never happen in the UK, due to the monopoly of BT, and 
the lack of understanding of the RSGB, ETC and Ofcom.   However, small 
scale experiments have been conducted, and would appear to be 
successful.  Not that it helps any


Shame.  One day perhaps, but not any-time soon, in the UK at least..

Re: [Elecraft] Trying to gauge interest

2016-06-19 Thread ab2tc

Hi,

Is there any reason why this should not work with a K3/100 also? BTW, how do
you convince the firmware that an ATU is installed? When I press "ANT" on my
ATU-less K3/100 I get the message "NO ATU". If both these concerns can be
put away, count me in, too. I have always been bummed that I can't get two
antennas without installing the ATU which I do not want to do. I consider an
ATU to be part of the antenna system and should be installed as close to the
antenna as possible (my KAT 500 is at the far end of a 100' coax run).

AB2TC - Knut

PS. If this is a double posting, I apologize. I *hate* hot keys.

Hello fellow 10 watt K3 owners!

As my main use for my K3s is 6 meter and 144 EME operation, I bought 
the 10 watt version without the antenna tuner. I dabble a little on 
HF but not a whole lot. As such, the 10 watt, no tuner version suits 
my needs, although I thought it would be nice to be able to select 2 
different antennas from the front panel (one for HF and the other for 
6 meters). Spending several hundred dollars for the KATU seemed a bit 
overkill to me just to get front panel selection of 2 antennas.


So looking at the schematic, I saw how easy it would be to modify my 
KANT board to allow 2 antenna selection. I bread boarded up my 
schematic and It works exactly as I expected.


So I'm debating having some pc boards made to replace the entire KANT 
board but only if there is enough interest to justify doing so and I 
wanted to see how y'all felt about it. I project the bare boards 
would run around $20 to $25. You would take the parts from your 
existing KANT and reuse them on this new board, in addition to adding 
around $12 worth of new parts. So for under $40, you could have dual 
antenna selection on your non-KATU equipped K3.


Any interest?

Re: [Elecraft] K3S losing swr-wattmeters indications on tx - please help

2016-06-19 Thread lstavenhagen

Yes, both my K3 and a K3s do this when I key them with my bugs or with my
straight key. Even my K2's will behave strangely, though not quite as bad as
the K3 and s. It's not a problem with the rig; it's just a contact bounce
issue, so you'll just need a debouncing circuit. Either an external keyer
(most of them have debouncing circuitry in them) or you can home-brew one.
There are a couple good circuits in the list archives.

A capacitor across the bug terminals will help, say a .1 uf, but beware that
it'll key the rig momentarily when you first plug it in as the cap charges.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S master power?

2016-06-19 Thread lmarion

I just purchased my K3 line in the last month, and did not know about the 
KAT turn on issue, nor did I see any documentation about turn on procedure.
So, from the first use I have turned on the K3 then the P3, KAT500 and 
KPA500, with zero issues.


Since powering on my KX3 turns on the PX3 and KXPA100/KXAT100  by menu 
selection, I assumed there was a similar menu option on the K3 line.


It seems not to be, at least I have not found it,  but I would like it if it 
did. Maybe it can be a firmware request?

Hmm.  Never noticed this since I've always kept power on the KAT500.  But it
does as it says...some of the time.

At my age, I'm not going to turn this into another time wasting science 
project,

but it seems to also depend on the state of the KPA500 (which the K3 weirdly
turns on and off with alternate power on cycles).  And I think it's not
dependent on the ON/OFF state of the KAT500 but whether or not there is 
power

"applied" to the KAT500.

Re: [Elecraft] Win4K3Suite now supports the SDRPlay SDR as a panadapter allowing 1.8MHz bandwidth!

2016-06-19 Thread ab2tc

Hi Tom,

Cute video, but I would like to see a connection diagram. The K3's IF output
has to connect to some hardware, presumably with a USB connector at the
other end? Is that the third party hardware alluded to? SDRs like that are
all over the spectrum in price so the claim that this is the lowest cost
panadapter solution is a little loose. Could I use my Afedri? I bought one a
while ago and it was a fun toy for a while, but is now collecting dust. What
do you mean by "requiring only refinement of the global offset"? Does it not
do all the adjustments for modes and filter passband settings like the
LP-Bridge/NaP3 combination does?

but it seems to also depend on the state of the KPA500 (which the K3 weirdly 
turns on and off with alternate power on cycles).  And I think it's not 
dependent on the ON/OFF state of the KAT500 but whether or not there is power 
"applied" to the KAT500.

   If there way, I never saw it -- but I just tested it.  Left the KAT500
off, powered up the K3S and no errors.  Then powered on the KAT500 and
it all worked just fine.  Guess I'll have to look back through the
"release notes" on the KAT500 firmware releases to see which one fixed
it.

[Elecraft] KX2 Utility for Mac computers

2016-06-19 Thread Joe W2KJ

Howdy Gang:

Got my KX2 yesterday and been playing with it since then.

Thought I would download the KX2 Utility to be ready for any firmware updates 
and found that only a Windows Utility is available so far.

Am I correct or is there a Mac version of the KX2 Utility that I missed?

73, Joe W2KJ
I QRP, therefore I am
KX2 s/n 347

Doesn't that present a problem?  I thought the KAT500 was supposed to be 
powered up before turning on the K3, or has that somehow been changed and I am 
stuck in the past?

[Elecraft] K3S losing swr-wattmeters indications on tx - please help

2016-06-19 Thread IK4EWX

I own a great K3S from a pair of months. It work great, dx, qsos, contest
(just worked CQWPX, 1200 qsos).
Just after bought it, sometime on cw transmission  the swr-rf indications,
the moving black dots, gone all blanked, all on the swr and on RF
indications.
I thought about rfi problems, but it happened even with dummy load. And with
no swr on antenna.
With atu inserted is seemed more rarely happen.
This morning I have this problem happen at least on 14-18-21-24-28mhz,
keying the rig with my bug, only with long dash and not with dots string.
It is a rainy cloudy day, but I think that doesnt matter :) 
When using the paddle with internal keyer I havent the problem. 
It seem to happen only when keying at least 2-3 seconds long.
When it happen, with the two measurements blanked, the rig really continue
to transmit - I see regular power on my external Bird 43 wattmeter.
Somebody had this problem and know how to solve it?
Many thanks
Ian IK4EWX
