It is true, and Windows continues to improve. I installed Windows 10 and
have been very pleased with it. There is not currently a good reason for
most hams to leave Windows.

Fortunately, Windows 10 will soon offer Linux as an optional module, so
many of the benefits of Linux may soon be available to Windows users.

“I think the amateur radio community would benefit tremendously from
transitioning to *n*x at some point in the future.”

Until the Linux folks make the installation of new hardware as easy as it is on 
Windows I don’t think it will ever happen.

I tried to build the drivers for my serial card, network USB device, and 
network serial server, and after spending a couple of days trying to figure it 
out I gave up.  I don’t have an extensive software background, but I do have 
some programming experience with *nix systems.  If you have a simple hardware 
setup it might be ok but throw in anything unusual and it’s hopeless.  And then 
add in things like rotator controls (Windows only) and there is little chance 
it will ever work.

The next major release of the logger I use (DXLog.net) is going to support 
Linux (and probably OSX) but without the third party hardware support I won’t 
be changing.

I know people like to bad mouth Windows but the vast majority of stations out 
there are running it very successfully. I just don’t see any advantages to 
changing at the moment.

Re: [Elecraft] N1MM Logger +

[Matt Murphy]

I'll chime in because this is something I've wondered about...

N1MM+ is written in Microsoft's .NET framework.  Recently this became a
cross-platform framework, and so theoretically the core functionality of
N1MM could be made to run natively on Linux or OSX.

However, N1MM uses a variety of libraries and integrations that are not
cross-platform, and so if the N1MM team were to attempt to support Linux or
OSX there would be a ton of additional work simply dealing with the
confusion about what aspects would only work in Windows vs on other
platforms.

For anyone trying to use N1MM on Linux or OSX, I highly recommend the
program called VirtualBox, which is a free alternative to Parallels and
VMWare.  It is now owned/maintained by Oracle, and is very high quality.
You simply install windows in VirtualBox and N1MM and any other programs
work flawlessly.  Microsoft makes free versions of Windows available to the
public that work for 90 days, and can easily be installed in VirtualBox.

Linux and OSX both offer some tremendous advantages over Windows, and I
think the amateur radio community would benefit tremendously from
transitioning to *n*x at some point in the future.  In the meantime, I have
my computers set up with VirtualBox or as a dual-boot.

N1MM+ is superb software, and we are lucky to have such a skilled team of
people maintaining it.  I'm continually impressed by the attention to
detail and small quality improvements that arrive with each new release.

Re: [Elecraft] N1MM Logger +

[Jim Larson]

I’ve been using N1MM+ via a Windows 10 Virtual Box VM on my iMac.  Works pretty 
well, but as Bob, N7XY said, RUMlogNG works great as a native app.  That is my 
preferred contesting app, especially on CW.  Uses the K3S internal keyer 
instead of computer generated CW characters.  Sounds much cleaner.

Anyway, options to  try.  RUMlogNG is a free download via the App Store.

[Elecraft] K3: K-pod uses

[Bill]

K-pod arrived, various firmware installed, and all is well. I have built 
macros for most of the buttons and find the device to be a great 
addition to the Genovation keypad and my overall K-Line system.  Thank 
you Elecraft for a well designed tool for my user pleasure and convenience.


Regarding macros - their application is only hindered by the user's 
imagination. It is so easy to chain them together to make the K3 do 
nearly anything. As with all computers, the K3 will do exactly as told. 
If the macro pieces are programmed in an incorrect order, the macro will 
not operate as planned.

Re: [Elecraft] Seeking an Elmer to help with a new K3s via remotehams

[Don Wilhelm]

Terry,

It seems like you are trying to do too much at one time.
Back off a little and verify that the K3S is working properly. Transmit 
into a dummy load so you do not disturb others on the air.


Once you have verified that the K3S is "doing its thing" correctly, then 
add the K3/0 along with the software applications.


The "expert" at Elecraft for remote operation is Brandon.  When you have 
verified that the base K3S is operating as expected, contact Brandon 
bran...@elecraft.com for additional assistance with the remote operation.

That is still the most current info. I would love to hear if anyone has
made the new version of N1MM+ work under WINE, but as far as I know, no one
has succeeded at that. The closest that anyone has come is using a full
Windows virtual machine to run N1MM+. Dale Putnam WC7S is one person who
has reported success with that setup.

[Elecraft] K-Pod VFO counts per turn?

[Rick]

I wonder if there is a way to adjust the counts per turn for the K-Pod 
VFO control?


The menu item "VFO CTS" allows one to adjust the counts per turn for the 
K3's VFO, but I can't find a separate menu item for the K-Pod VFO 
control. I have the K3 VFO set to 200 counts per turn, but it looks to 
me like the VFO on my K-Pod is set to 100 counts per turn. Specifically, 
a full turn of the main K3 VFO control changes the frequency by 2 KHz, 
but a full turn of the K-Pod VFO control changes the frequency by 1 KHz.


I'd like them to be the same. I can accomplish that by changing VFO CTS 
to 100, but I like the 200 setting better.

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] SWR/PWR & CMP/ALC Meter

[David Anderson via Elecraft]

This happens when SSB + CW is enabled.  In CW WGHT menu tap 1 to toggle between 
SSB+CW (enabled) and SSB -  CW

Tapping Keyer/Mic knob toggles between Keyer speed and Mic Gain rather than 
Meter Scales  CMP/ALC and SWR/RF. The CMP/ALC scale is still shown temporarily 
when CMP or Mic Gain are adjusted.

You can switch to DATA mode then change meter scales by tapping Keyer/mic knob 
then go back to SSB.

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] SWR/PWR & CMP/ALC Meter

[Don Wilhelm]

Joel,

Yes, go to CW mode and you will see it.
Look at the text box at the top left of the display illustration on page 
8 of the manual.  For voice and data modes, it shows CMP/ALC.

Re: [Elecraft] N1MM Logger +

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

Responding to some number of comments in this and closely related threads,
not just this particular poster.

1) A reminder that PLAIN N1MM is NO LONGER SUPPORTED, for two years now.
Shouting intended.

N1MM+ is the current and supported version. Any problem you have with the
old MM, the first step is to upgrade to the latest N1MM+. Plus you will
open yourself up to a small pile of neat new features. Any problem with
MM+, the first step is to upgrade to the latest MM+. Still problems? Go to
their excellent support reflector, where there are many patient and
informed members who have zero problems helping steer a newby or an
unfortunate victim to a successful launch. With a little practice and
reading, the MM+ doc will become your best friend. Many, many, many hours
have been spent to create that excellent doc. If someone does not answer
your reflector post in ten minutes, remember that everything is volunteer,
no paid staff. Leave yourself generous run up time before a contest to
allow conversations to run a cycle per evening. If not, those who will
finally answer you are most likely not reading email at that particular
instant, most likely already making contacts in the contest you are trying
to start late and unprepared.

2) AGAIN, N1MM+ is FREE, NOT COMMERCIAL. Shouting intended.

The team of developers et al putting out MM+ **donate** their time and
effort, and have managed to create a stellar **non-commercial** product.
They have stated that to create a parallel product for Mac platforms is
beyond their intentions and resources. Having had a few conversations, that
really does seem a fair and intelligent decision. For them, to keep from
wasting precious volunteer resources on keeping up with OS perturbations
not related to the product, their development platform and single chosen OS
need to be as stable as possibly can be. They do seem open to a tweak here
and there for problems served up **completely analyzed and solved** in the
run-it-on-a-windows-emulator world.

I worked for SAS Institute for 20 years, where SAS' various products
simultaneously supported IBM mainframes, traditional UNIX platforms, PC
operating systems, Windows, for a while OS-2, and various PC versions of
UNIX. For those two decades, I worked in the mainframe section of that
effort. Maintaining that dozen OS parallelism was an **enormous** task,
**grotesquely** complicated, never-endingly rocked by perturbations,
revisions and screw-ups from OS and driver programmers, soaking up hundreds
of employees (really, hundreds), some thirty-odd of them requiring a
peculiar necessarily company-grown skill set that was impossible to hire
for off the open programmer market. Never allow yourself to perceive
difficulty or delay on, or refusal of, multi-platform support as some
dereliction. There, especially for free volunteer efforts, until you have
worked a mile in their shoes, you are simply not qualified to give
criticism.

3) Even compared to many commercial products, N1MM+ is remarkably
responsive in general, particularly in keeping up with changes in the
contesting arena. They even developed a way for the USER to create a
contest script which the logger will run, allowing many tiny contests, like
our annual rules-revised-yet-again PVRC on-the-air reunion, to roll their
own.

4) DO JOIN THE MM REFLECTOR. It is a great bunch over there. Many of us
there have worked through all the same newby confusions. We get it, we
understand, we have ourselves suffered total confusion, and we will help
ease you into the RTFM :>) What is politely tolerated and supported OT on
Elecraft (thank you Eric) is the main drag on MM. There are **many**
Elecraft owners on the MM reflector. You will find call signs common to
both Elecraft and the MM reflector.

ALSO, it might just be that you are the first to separate out a bug, and if
you do not post there, it remains hidden to the only group who **can** and
**do want** to actually fix it. They are **not** scanning the Elecraft
reflector for MM+ bugs.

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] Behringer HA400 Headphone Amp - Partial Review, Partial Wish List Item

[David Anderson via Elecraft]

Joel,

I also needed to switch between microphones and Data input with my KX3. I built 
a simple switch box myself, nothing more than some sockets, switches and wires. 
It allows me to select headset mic, desk mic or sound card.  

Also use the HA 400 on the receive side. I leave the KX3 audio at 40 all the 
time and adjust the HA400 to give me the volume I need, which for my sound card 
and wireless headphones is about 50% vol. My powered speakers and wired 
headphones about 25%.

[Elecraft] K-Pod not working?

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 and N1MM F-Keys

[Richard Ferch]

"The thing kept switching from  Run mode to S  when I left the program to
browse on the web for a bit then I switched back I had to switch it back to
Run": The N1MM+ program automatically switches from Run to S whenever you
QSY by more than a user-adjustable frequency tolerance. If you
inadvertently or intentionally moved the tuning knob on the radio while you
were off doing something else, that would switch the program from Run to
S

If you want to start running on a new frequency after going off and doing
something else, simply press the F1 (CQ) key. In addition to sending your
CQ message, this automatically switches the program from S to Run mode.

"The CQ Repeat function has no pause ... The Repeat Time setting does not
do anything ...": I'm betting that you are using the CAT1ASC macro with KY
commands to send CW. This CW keying method is not supported by N1MM+. It
works, sort of, but there are several features of N1MM+ that do not work
properly, or at all, with this method. One of these is that the CQ repeat
time has to be set long enough to include the entire duration of the CQ
message plus the pause between messages, not just the desired pause time as
it would with a supported keying method. Try a really long repeat time,
then experiment with shortening it until you get a reasonable duration of
the pause between messages - but recognize that every time you change CW
speeds, you will have to adjust the repeat time as well.

"CW speed control does not work": If you are using the KY command method,
that's correct, it doesn't. That's one of the program features that do not
work with this unsupported keying method.

There is a list of shortcomings of the KY command method of CW keying from
N1MM+ in the N1MM+ documentation. Go to n1mm.com, click on Documents > 2.
Digging Deeper, then select Chapter 5.1 Serial Parallel and Sound Card
Interfacing and on that page select section 3.2 Choosing your CW Method -
or just go directly to <
http://n1mm.hamdocs.com/tiki-index.php?page=Serial+Parallel+and+Sound+Card+Interfacing=N1MM+Logger+Documentation#Choosing_Your_CW_Method>.
If you can live with all of these, fine. If you want to use N1MM+ and you
cannot live without one or more of the features in the list, you will have
to do what it takes to implement one of the supported CW keying methods.

That is still the most current info. I would love to hear if anyone has
made the new version of N1MM+ work under WINE, but as far as I know, no one
has succeeded at that. The closest that anyone has come is using a full
Windows virtual machine to run N1MM+. Dale Putnam WC7S is one person who
has reported success with that setup.

[Elecraft] [OT] Behringer HA400 Headphone Amp - Partial Review, Partial Wish List Item

[Joel Black]

After having decided that the KX3 / PX3 combo would satisfy my amateur radio 
needs, I sold my K3 / P3 combo. The only thing I *really* miss is the ability 
to operate voice and data modes with the simple use of a macro - no cables to 
disconnect and others to reconnect. I truly miss that. If someone (HINT, HINT, 
Elecraft) could come up with a module where I could have my mic and headphones 
hooked *plus* my sound card connections, I would be set. What would it be 
worth? I don’t know - $100 to $200 I think would be in the ballpark. Until that 
time comes, I will have to swap out my MIC and my sound card IN connections 
but, because of some folks on this list, I don’t have to do that with the audio 
OUT of the KX3.

A couple of days ago, the Behringer HA400 Headphone Amp I ordered arrived. I 
quickly took it out of the carton, hooked up the SMPS that comes with it, and 
connected the PHONES OUT of the KX3 to the input and hooked up my headphones, 
Oontz Angle Speaker (which I’m *not* enamored with), and my sound card IN. The 
Behringer HA400 works very well for what it is - a $25 stereo headphone amp 
with multiple outputs.

I don’t notice any noise increase from the SMPS included with it, but I will 
cut off the “wall wart” portion of it, install PowerPoles, and connect to my DC 
distribution panel. The audio coming out of the KX3 is somewhat muted so I have 
to run the KX3 AF up to about 35 to hear anything out of the Oontz Angle. Doing 
that, I have the volume on the HA400 almost 1/2-way for the Oontz Angle 
speaker. I am somewhat hard of hearing so others may find a lower output fine. 
I will try another set of speakers and see if it’s just the Oontz Angle.

Using my Sony MDR-V6 headphones, I have to run the AF up on my KX3 to about 14 
to get good audio out. Again, the output volume on the HA400 is about 1/2-way. 
I also run the HA400 audio out for the sound card up about 1/2-way.

In all honesty, if you run the audio out on the HA400 more than 1/2-way, it 
acts like a cheap preamp on a TV antenna - it amplifies everything. It 
introduces too much noise to the audio path and decreases the amount of 
intelligible audio out.

The HA400 is not a perfect solution but it works well enough for a $25 
addition. I *do* wish Elecraft (or someone else) could come up with some sort 
of add-on module for the KX3 (or the KX2 which I don’t have) that would make it 
much easier to switch between voice and data modes. There is an audio board 
made by TI called the C5535 (Google "TMS320C5535 eZdsp USB Kit") that is very 
nice but also require a USB connection to the computer. If an add-on module was 
developed around that board, I think that would be a wonderful solution.

Thoughts? Wayne? I’d let Elecraft use my C5535 as a prototype. :)

Sorry, I’m not a designer, just a user but I’d surely pay for that.

Thanks for the bandwidth and have a great weekend.

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] SWR/PWR & CMP/ALC Meter

[Joel Black]

I should have stated this in my initial post. I was specifically looking for 
how to switch in data modes. Bob cleared that up. However, you are correct, 
Fred. In SSB *or* SSB +CW, I have to press the CMP button to get the CMP/ALC 
meter to come up. A tap of the KEYER/MIC knob doesn’t do it - it just switches 
between CW speed and MIC gain.

Now, I’m glad you brought up SSB -CW and SSB +CW. I knew I had that on my K3 
and I thought I had it on my KX3 but I couldn’t remember how to activate it on 
the KX3. Somehow (again, the memory eludes me), I got SSB +CW working. It’s not 
that big a deal I don’t guess except when you want to check power out without 
going, “Hello, test, this is W4JBB.” :)

Thanks and 73,
Joel - W4JBB

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 memory - odd behavior with RCL

[Don Wilhelm]

Jeff,

Do you have an "*" in the text field of those memories?
If so, that is the indicator that those memories are to be used for 
channel hopping, and behavior will be exactly as you have described.

Does anyone else notice this:

I hold RCL, dial VFO A to select the memory I want, then tap any key to exit.
Everything looks ok, until I try to tune VFO A, but instead of normal tuning, 
it rotates through the memory channels again, but only within the same band I 
started out in. (My memories are all in sequential order of frequency, so I 
don't know if it would 'hop' over any if they weren't sequential.)

VFO A won't go back to normal tuning until I've tapped Band+ or -.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 TX Mon

[Don Wilhelm]

Chris,

The TXMON uses a in-line sampling coupler.  The choices are 200 watt and 
2000 watt.


The 2000 watt coupler displays power in 1 watt increments while the 200 
watt displays the power in 0.1 watt units.  Whether that is adequate for 
your needs or not is only for you to say.

adequately when running barefoot at 100w?

[Elecraft] N1MM Logger +

[Dauer, Edward]

Unfortunately it is still not available for Mac, and the developers seem 
hesitant about using a Windows emulator on an Apple computer.  Below is a clip 
taken from the N1MM + website today.  Does anyone have any more current info?

---
12. Is there any chance of a cross-platform version for Linux or Mac users?

No. Some users have reported varying degrees of success running N1MM Logger on 
top of Windows emulators on Mac (Dave, K6WDE/KH6) and Linux clients. Although 
we wish them the best of luck in their endeavors, this is not a configuration 
that the Dev Team can support

Hi Jim,

N1MM is not even supported anymore! If that is what you are using, you are
making a mistake? N1MM Plus, which was released in early 2014 is the current
supported contest program and it has thousands of very happy users, all with
various PC's and rigs, and the program has been acclaimed as being one of
the best contest programs. I have been using N1MM + for many years with both
of my K3's and the ONLY problem I have had with it has always been
self-induced user issues. If you enjoy contesting with Elecraft (and most
any other manufacturer's equipment) you would find extremely good support
from the authors of N1MM Plus. Just bad-mouthing a good product produces a
dim view of the writer.

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 and N1MM F-Keys

[Chester Alderman]

Well Jim from your comments it seems pretty obvious that you need to read some 
of the very comprehensive documentation for N1MM+. My CW speed control always 
works correct by using the PageUp and PageDown keys. The CQ Repeat pause 
function is set in the Config menu, by the USER! It is probably best that you 
take this topic to the N1MM+ reflector where you will find excellent support; 
however N1MM+ is a very comprehensive contest program and new users MUST read 
the setup documentation to get the program running correct and to understand 
how the program works.

Here are the other issues. The CQ Repeat function has no Pause like 5 seconds

Also CW speed control does not work. I works manually when I turn the knob on 
the KX2 and 3.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 erratic VFO

[graham . wood1]

Hi Chris,

A few months ago I updated the K3 (sn5845) firmware from 5.29 to 5.38.

I started to have a similar experiences, VFO's jumping Freq etc. I was given 
similar advise, to try working backwards removing newly installed boards and 
reinstalling them.

Before trying this I decided to go back to firmware 5.29 and last known working 
config file. This completely cured the problem and K3 is still working fine, so 
far not plucked up courage to try updating to 5.38 again.

If your problem started after updating your firmware, try going back to 
previous version it might solve the problem.
best of luck Chris.
