[Elecraft] KX3-> KXPA100=> KPA500 ... Can it be done?

[David F. Reed]

Looking for a little QRO in my alternate station...

I would like to be able to run my KX3 into my KXPA100 amplifier, and 
that into my KPA500 amp.


How do I do that?

Thanks

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 strange response

[Don Wilhelm]

How did you determine that the cables seem "fine".
Did you do a continuity measurement on each pin?  Did you check for 
shorts between adjacent pins.


If selecting 12 meters on the K3 produces 6 meters on the KPA500, then 
there may be something awry with the BAND1 data output from the K3 to 
the KPA100.  That is pin 3 of the cable.

Solved. It was one of the cables. Anyway I believe so. I took the KAT out of 
the control loop and all is well with one of the cables but bad news with the 
other. Must be intermittent as it ohm 'd ok.

[Elecraft] K1 tilt stand bail- how to make

[Brian]

This is from my own personal 'wayback' records source not evident to me 
with short notice.
Alt #2 - "The Never Fail Cheap & Dirty K1 Bail"; (with apologies to Tom, =N0SS, 
and his probe) Take a piece of 15" long by 3/32 - 1/8" diameter sol=id wire (a 
heavy duty coat hanger works great!). Slide two 1/2" X 1/8" ID=vacuum hose (any 
auto parts store) to the middle of the wire. Starting f=rom the middle measure 
2-5/8" each way and bend 90 degrees. You now have =a square "U", with the base 
measuring 5-1/4". From the corners of the "U"=measure 3-1/2" and bend 90 
degrees so that if the "U" is sitting on a ta=ble the two bends you just made 
would stick straight UP from the table. N=ow, measure from those just completed 
bends 1-1/4" and make a 90 degree b=end such that the ends of the wire are now 
facing each other. Clip the en=ds of the wire about 3/8" away from the just 
completed bends. These littl=e stubs will fit into the screw holes on the K1 
that are designed for the=tilt stand. When you first complete this stand take 
the top cover off to=ensure that there are no interf
 erence's with the KNB1 or the KBT1 when t=he stand is installed. Trim 
accordingly. Slide the two rubber hose pieces=to the corners. These will act as 
the feet of the stand. This compact stand can be flipped beneath the radio and 
the bottom of the=bail can snapped against the rear of the radio and beneath 
the antenna j=ack for stowage. To use simply flip the stand forward and use a 
rubberban=d mounted three-quarters the way up the parallel arms to secure the 
radio=at the desired viewing angle.

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 - updating firmware

[Don Wilhelm]

Pete,

Fine that you are using an FTDI USB to serial adapter - but what is the 
connection from the DE-9 conncetor on that adapter to the KX2.  If it is 
the KXSERa cable, then it should work fine, but if you have wired your 
own DE-9 to 3.5mm cable, then check it to make certain it has the 
correct connections and has continuity on all 3 of the used conductors.


In other words, if you have made your own Serial to KX2 cable, check it 
first.

Set the KX2 RS-232 to 38400 and use KX2 Utility to attempt to connect.

73,
Don W3FPR

Re: [Elecraft] 73CNC Knobs

The last K3 set I bought was about year ago, took 3 months to get them.  
Communication was at best poor.

Want a KX1 knob, ordering appears to be broken.

Anyone have a 73CNC KX1 knob they want to part with?

Wondering the same thing. I want one for my second K2, but no response

Back to the endless amp forum posts.

*The Plain Truth*

Better antennas = better communication.
Transmit antennas are not always be best antennas for reception.
Propagation determines communications.

Power has little to do with propagation when it is in your favor.

If you cant hear them you cant work them. And even then, if you can hear
them many times, propagation is not 2 way.

Having a 1500 watt signal on the air has nothing to do with being 
able to

hear who is hearing you. Otherwise, your just QRM. Alligator syndrome.

RFI from 1500 watts, Near Field interference, Electrical energy cost are
all added problems of excessive power.

Water soaked Coax with poor antenna installation with negative 12 db
loss takes 1500 watts to 100 watts on a 100 ft run, using, 100 watts 
going

down to 1/2 watt, you can still talk because: QRP works!

A 1500 watt amplifier is not going to make you a better operator.
Many amps today that are being produced over seas have tetrode finals 
that
will put out 2500 watts easily, check your coax at the frequency that 
you

want to run and you may be in for a surprise. If you swr is greater than
near unity, you may have problems with the reflected power melting 
down the
foam by heat and creating more loss. With an amp you have to have 
resonant
antennas, you don't want RF in the shack. And at that power level 
antenna

tuners become a very effective Ozone generator, keeps you shack smelling
nice and fresh but it does not do much for your finals and spark gap was
outlawed quite some time back.

I have a 1.2 kw amp and run it at 450 to 500 watts, why, because it 
puts me

in a contest class that I can be competitive in because I don't have 6
towers with stacked beams. Hell I don't even have a beam, just a good
vertical and made 1500 QSO in CQWW WPX, from the middle of the USA, 
Kansas.
I do have a NCC1 Dxengineering 2 antenna receiving array that I put 
up for

contests only. But, on the other hand, I run CW and CW gets through 599
with 100 watts where the same would take 15000 watts on SSB for the same
arm chair communication.

The cheapest way to communicate with less power is painful for some, but
the truth is always painful when you take the easy way out.

Drum Roll,

Learn CW

My 2 cents, and add that to 3$ and you might be able to get a good 
cup of

coffee or a good sized can or Monster III.

[Elecraft] P3 TX monitor question

[David F. Reed]

Apparently I have messed some menu entry up, but cannot figure out how 
to fix it.


I have gotten into a mode that flashes periodically (about a second 
each) between the RX Pan display and the TX monitor.


Because it is flashing, it is hard to read the menu and figure out what 
to set.


Anyone have any ideas for me to try?

Thanks & 73 de Dave, W5SV

I don't understand this, and I think it's at the heart of your problem. 
I strongly suggest that you correct the cause of this rather than 
spending big money on a noise cancelling headset. Have you communicated 
with Elecraft about this?  My KPA500 fan runs at high speed ONLY during 
long keydown transmissions (like JT65, for 50 seconds, then 70 seconds 
off) and when "beacon-CQing" on 6M (efficiency is lowest on 6M, so 
heating is greatest). It's hard to imagine this being a problem below 
15M unless you're making very long transmissions.



Will this work with the K3S.


I see no reason why not.


Bose says EMI /EMC should be ok for HF.
I don't know -- RFI to the shack tends to be greater if TX antenna is 
close to the shack, especially with an end-fed antenna that terminates 
in the shack.



I understand DC Bias 8V is no problem.

Right.

How about the Stereo 320 Ohm Earphone impedance and the K3S recommended 16
Ohm min ?

320 ohms is >> 16 ohms, so no problem.


How should the electret mike be configured Bias through 220 to 2200 Ohm?
Wire the mic with "hot" to the tip of a 3.5mm TRS plug, plug it into the 
rear panel, go to the menu and select rear panel, then while still in 
the menu, tap "2" on the keypad to turn on bias. Then exit the menu.



Any experience here?

Only as cited above.

[Elecraft] (no subject)

[Edward R Cole]

Since Elecraft has (repeatedly) stated no KPA1500 is to be made,
then consider other sources.

I suggest if you want to save money to consider a W6PQL amp:
http://www.w6pql.com/1_kw_sspa_for_1_8-54_mhz.htm
Note the pic of a KX3 at beginning of article.

Great kit if you are so disposed; I believe also available assembled 
and tested from W6PQL


My only relationship is having used several of his kits in my 
personal station and the 2m 80w pc board in the 2M80 linear I 
sell.  Jim is very helpful in several technical conversations I have 
had with him.


Some day I would like to acquire his 2m 1200w PA module as basis for 
replacement of my 8877+HV supply.   It could be remotely installed in 
a wx-proof compartment at the base of my 2m tower, eliminating 
expensive low-loss coax run from the shack (and get the durn blower 
noise out of the shack).  These LDMOS drive with 3-10w.

It does not make financial sense to combine two or three KPA500s using a
commercial combiner that costs thousands of dollars. SPE Expert makes a two
amp combiner and Acom has one that will combine three amps. I believe that
there are also some combiner boards available on eBay. The KPA500 is a very
nice amp however if you really desire more power you are probably better off
looking elsewhere, at least until the KPA1500 becomes available :)

Re: [Elecraft] Where is the K3s setup for JT65 info?

[Bill Leonard N0CU]

Ken,

I am using the USB interface to the computer and am having trouble figuring
out how to set the audio levels for WSJT-X:

-On receive the decoder is saturated. I have to drop the gain slider in
WSJT-X to zero to be able to decode any signals. I haven't found any other
adjustment for the level.

-On transmit in Data A mode, the mic gain selects a Line x value. I didn't
see that anywhere in the manuals. Do you select a Line value that gets you
close and fine tune the level with the gain control in Windows?

Thanks,

Bill  N0CU

Re: [Elecraft] K3S with Internal ATU(KAT3A) and Remote ATU?

[Brian Hunt]

I have a K3 without the internal ATU and use a MFJ-927 remote tuner for my 
ZS6BKW inverted V. I also have a manual tuner in the shack which is usually in 
bypass, just monitoring power out and incoming SWR. There some parts of 40m 
where the MFJ-927 doesn't get a good match and I touch it up with the manual 
tuner to keep the K3 happy. I don't see why you couldn't take a similar 
approach with the KAT3A. 

The MFJ-927 is a finicky beast but it has served me well for over 4 years. I 
don't think it uses latching relays so you have to keep it powered to use it. I 
could be wrong. GL!

[Elecraft] KX2 - Dimension of the KXBT2 Li_Ion pack?

[Stephan]

Dear KX2-users,

I would like to know the dimension of the Li-Ion package: Height, width and 
length?
How long is the power cable inclusive 2.1mm plug?
As well I’am interested about the dimension of the space inside the KX2, which 
is reserved for the KXBT2 Lithium-ion Battery Pack.

As far as I know, the package (11V, 2.6Ah) consists of three Lithium-Ion 18650 
cylindrical cells with integrated security (PCB).

I’am intend to order in Germany a pack of three 18650 cells with a capacity of 
3400mA. To tell the dealer the specification, I need the dimension of the 
original KXBT2.

thanks,
Stephan, DD6DO

[Elecraft] Connecting Headset Aviation Bose A20 to K3S?

[Elecraft] k3/0 Mini problem

[Jerry]

GM All,

 

I purchased and have installed a K3/0 using Remote Hams software.  When I
run the unit as a client, I have noticed that I am not able to use the 2nd
receiver. It is absolutely quiet. I can point the transmit towards the
frequency on the second receiver and it will transmit on that frequency. At
the moment, it appears that in order to work split on a rare dx station, the
configuration has to be reversed ie. DX station on main vfo and set the
transmit frequency on some frequency in the dx station suggested listening
bandwidth.



Or have I missed something in the setup that would allow me to use the K3/0
Mini just like I would my home K3? I'm hoping that this is the case.

 

Best regards,

 

Jerry, W1IE

[Elecraft] K3S with Internal ATU(KAT3A) and Remote ATU?

[MaverickNH]

I have a new K3S/100W with internal ATU (KAT3A) as well as KRX3A SubRX. My
antennas are a 102ft G5RV at 40ft with LDG RC/RT-100 Remote ATU at base, and
I’ll have a DXE-MBVE-5 43ft vertical with MFJ-927 Remote ATU at base after
completing this weekend.

A few questions:

1.  How to best use the K3S internal ATU in conjunction with the Remote 
ATUs?
Both can be used in Bypass mode, the K3S by command and the Remote ATUs by
removing Bias-T voltage. The LDG rATU on the G5RV is “latched” in the last
LC configuration before removing Bias-T voltage – still learning about
MFJ-927. It seems that I might first put the K3S in Bypass, remote tune, and
then if >2:1 SWR, remove voltage from Bias-T to “latch” the remote ATU, and
then engage the K3S internal ATU to try and lower SWR to <2:1. Added loss,
but maybe better than K3S power fold-back. But that’s where I need advice.

2.  I’ll set up for “Diversity RX” when I figure which antenna should be my
TX antenna, which might change based on band and direction (G5RV is N-S, and
even at 40ft, reaches E-W better than N-S). In this case, I wonder if I
could tune my SubRX “Diversity RX Antenna” with remote ATU for better
reception?
