[Elecraft] Remote Rig logging

[Mike Murray]

I'm in the process of setting up my K3/0 mini to access my remote K3 using
Remote Rig 1258 MkII boxes.  Everything is working correctly on my LAN and
also when using a Verizon connection for the control and my LAN for the
remote.  My only problem is figuring out how to use a PC logging program on
the control side of things.

According to instructions in the RemoteRig manual: "If you want to connect
a logging or PC-control software to the system you can connect it to the
Control-RRC COM1 via RS-232 or USB and configure both RRC:s COM1 to
“Mode-7, CAT to COM2 (local)”.  I've tried that using an RS-232 to
USB cable without success.

Has anyone done this successfully and what might I be missing???

Re: [Elecraft] K2 High Current

[Don Wilhelm]

Aaron,

HiCur messages are a symptom, but not the "disease".
It can mean that you might have a bad connection in your antenna system 
or something similar.
Test into a dummy load to tell if it is a K2 problem or an antenna 
problem.  If it works into a dummy load, then the antenna is the problem.

[Elecraft] Skimmer and the K3S

[Peter W2IRT]

From: "Luis V. Romero" 
Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Skimmer and the K3S

In the words of the Immortal Lt. Cmdr. Montgomery Scott of Star Fleet:
"The more complex they make the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the
drain."

[pjd] A sentiment I generally hold to quite religiously. Scotty had the
right of it. 

Flex's are nice, they do nice things.  My lowly K3/KPA500/KAT500/P3 station
integrates just fine with anything I have here:  It works in a SO2R
environment with my secondary TS590s managed by microHAM u2R and two
microKEYERs Via N1MMPlus Logger. Radio selection and Antenna switching is a
one button push operation from N1MMPlus.[pjd] 

 [pjd] That's a nice setup, no question. But imagine doing all of that with
one and only one piece of hardware (plus the amp/tuner)? That's the
intriguing part to me. SO2R with one box. But that said, SO2R however it's
done is a pretty amazing feat and my hat is off to anybody who can do it
well.

All of this with a radio and PC I purchased in 2006.  The system will be 10
years old next month. Flex was not ready when I was looking.  They have come
a long way.  Craig K9CT has Maestro in his station.  I'm sure it will be
developed more and more as he and his ops beat on it.  

I'm sure more things are to come from Eric and Wayne.  Time will tell.  

[pjd] I hope so. I would dearly love to see an Elecraft pure SDR far more
than I would prefer to jump into the Flex line. After 14 months I've JUST
managed to figure out enough to be comfortable with my K3S as it is!

[pjd] And to answer an earlier question, I don't *want* to abandon the K3
platform (or Elecraft themselves--I believe in the company whole heartedly).
But I would like to see something with a fresh approach to hamming that's a
direct shot across the bow of the Flex 6700. The single biggest issue to be
overcome is having multiple pieces of software needing to control the radio
and speak to each other. In my case, the K3S, Microham Router, DX Lab
Suite's Commander *and* WinWarbler, a second instance of MMTTY, WSJT-X, CW
Skimmer, N1MM Plus, RCFOrb Server, Win4K3,  and NaP3. I do not believe it's
possible to run everything together and have it all work on the K3. Of
course, my biggest dream is to do SO2R, but that's a long ways out.

 >>But what I have is simple, competitive, reliable and has been, for 10
years now.  And I'm not totally dependent on a computer platform. 

 [pjd] This is where you and I differ. I would rather do all of this through
software, not hardware. Too many wires behind the desk is a recipe for
failure IMHO, and said failure invariably happens at the most inopportune
time. Right in the middle of a P5 pileup or a nice EU run in CQWW. I would
much rather have everything on a RELIABLE computer, tested eight ways from
Sunday and backed up daily (with a 3 week archive), so if something goes
completely pear shaped, it's a brief reload from a known-good backup and I'm
back in business. I'm not tracking down a bad cable that the cat dislodged
or that suffered a mechanical failure in a multi-conductor connector. Then
again, I sit and stare at computer screens for 14-18 hours a day anyways, so
I'm far more comfortable in front of a PC than some.

 >>I'm not that great of an op.  I'm also antenna challenged here in the
middle of the city.  But I win my share. And I credit my K3 station for a
lot of this success.

[pjd] Ditto on all accounts. Just a 70' tower, one antenna per band, wires
for 80/160 and a small RX loop for 160, all on a quarter-acre city lot. One
radio, one 8-port antenna switch, a P3, tuner, amp and computer. Thazzit.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 mic suggestions

[Don Wilhelm]

Ed,

Instead of trying different microphones, I suggest you modify the KSB2 
option board to reduce the bass response.


Change C34 to a 0.47uF electrolytic capacitor and C32 to something in 
the range of .0043uF to .0056uF and you will reduce the bass response 
significantly.  Those are values recommended by Jim Brown K9YC (an audio 
professional).  I have tried them and they work well.


With those changes, most any microphone including the Elecraft MH2 will 
sound better.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 mic suggestions

Search eBay for a NOS Turner JM+2/U hand mic. Do not adjust it to obnoxious
levels and it will sound absolutely wonderful. If the possibility of an old
curmudgeon or two taunting you over using a "CB" mic is of concern, tell
them you're using an Icom HM-36 and have a private laugh at their expense
when they give you glowing audio reports. Hope that helps. As always, take

Re: [Elecraft] K3S - Build or Buy

[Bill]

Phil, My sentiments as well.  The K2, KX1, and other basic through hole
building is what matters to me.  The joy of trouble shooting is gone for me.
I work on PC repairs, Wi-Fi and network issues... that is more than plenty.
I enjoy having my stuff built.  I still build PC's for customers but even
that is a disappearing art and unless you do it regularly, it becomes a bit
of a task.

Having built the K2 and all accessories, I ordered my K3/P3/KPA500/KAT500

I did assemble the KX3 and PX3. And in the case of the KX3 I rather

hardly matters.  But I do find the "melt solder" kits more fun to build and

Does the echo happen if the KX3 is connected but not powered on?

Yes, I see the same thing, but only when there is nothing plugged in.
The schematic shows a switch connected to (unused) pin 4.

A simpler test might be to use a stereo audio cable, plugged into ACC1
- measure between the tip and ring at the other end. I see a few
M-ohms there in both directions...

I do not have the KX2 manual in front of me.  But I do recall the KX2 manual 
specification does list a maximum voltage. (I think is was in the range of 40 
vdc.) I will look it up at reply back.  The manual does not list a maximum

 Hi Bill,

At the Shelby Hamfest, 2015 I ordered the entire K-Line, Amp, KAT500, K3s and 
Elecraft P3 along with the filters they suggested. I received the shipment in 
late September. Took inventory of all parts as they recommended. I started with 
the receiver and finished with KPA500 amplifier. It was not difficult and took 
about three weeks in spare time. It worked when finished but had one minor 
issue after I started using it. It turned out the reference oscillator was 
defective and would drift after the K3s warmed up and would stop receiving. A 
little trouble shooting with help from the factory soon had another reference 
oscillator on the way. I have probably worked a 100 new countries since then. 
About the only things you need to buy are a muffin tin to hold the small parts. 
Several new screwdrives for the small screws and a static mat with wrist clip. 
No soldering, just a lot of small screws, nuts, washers and lock washers. My

[Elecraft] 2015 Handbook and Tri-Mox moxon antenna construction

[Niel Skousen]

Good Morning All,

Anyone have a 2015 Handbook they would be willing to sell ?   Specifically I'm 
interested in the 3 band Moxon (Tri-Mox?) construction article...   Course, my 
collection of handbooks has suffered in the last few years, so the whole 
handbook would be appreciated if someone has one available...

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 stopped answering to serial commands

[Holger Schurig]

Hi Ian,

yes and yes:

- yes, it echos back one character at a time, like I'm typing

- yes, it echos back even when I enter random characters.


I opened my KX3 and removed the the shielding (Battery retainer). Then I
measured at J3 (ACC1). Imagine that the ACC1 is positioned towards the
left, then the lower-right and the right pins of J3 have a connection
according to my Multimeter. But I think that is the switch that is inside
the socket.

Otherwise I can't see anything, e.g. no weird soldering or some remnant of
a wire doing some short.


73, Holger DH3HS

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Key Out Problem

[Don Wilhelm]

Gerry,

What are you using to measure the KEYOUT line?  In CW, it will follow 
the QSK keying. so it will be a series of fast pulses.  If you are 
trying to measure with an ohmmeter (or voltmeter), it may not respond 
fast enough to see it on the meter.
The fact that it works when you key the microphone indicates that it is 
working.


Whether your RX antenna is fast enough to follow the K3 keying is quite 
another matter - if it uses a relay, it may not be fast enough.


There are K3 menu parameters that will change the Delay time, see the TX 
DLY menu listing for details.


73,
Don W3FPR

Re: [Elecraft] K3S - Build or Buy

[w7aqk]

If you ever spent Christmas Eve putting toys together for your kids, you 
probably are qualified to go with the kit!!!  Hi.  It's really just an 
assembly process, and the instructions are pretty straight forward.  More 
than anything, it is a matter of just being careful, reading the 
instructions, and not trying to go too fast.  Inventory the parts carefully 
(that's critical!), and separate them in an organized fashion.  Do that, and 
you have half the battle won.  Some parts may be a close fit, but they do 
fit!  Tool requirements are relatively simple, and no soldering.  In the 
end, you know a lot more about what is inside the case, and where it is.


You need a lot of room, so unless you have a particularly large, uncluttered 
work bench, use the dining room table with a good protective pad on top. 
Order in pizza--no cooking during assembly!


Anyway, saving the $200 is not the wrong thing to do, unless a reasonable 
amount of patience is not one of your virtues.  It doesn't take all that 
long, and it's really not all that difficult, but you do need to proceed 
with reasonable care.  I recommend some nice soft, soothing music in the 
background just to keep yourself relaxed!  Hi.


Dave W7AQK

Re: [Elecraft] [KX2] Can the key out drive a relay?

[tomb18]

Hi Ok,   it does mention up to 30v but no current is specified. I guess it 
should handle 250m ma then.
Thanks

I do not have the KX2 manual in front of me.  But I do recall the KX2
manual specification does list a maximum voltage. (I think is was in the
range of 40 vdc.) I will look it up at reply back.  The manual does not
list a maximum current.  However, my KX2 does handle the 12v relay in my
Ameritron 500m. That I use in my travel trailer.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S - Build or Buy

[dmoes]

I agree with the others. Building it is a sense of complement, but more 
important. If down the road you decide to add to it or there is trouble and a 
component needs replacing, if you built it you will have a better idea and 
confidence to open the box and work on it.

Yes - it's a Power FET.  From the K3 Manual:

"KEY OUT (RCA/Phono) is the amplifier T-R relay
keying output, capable of keying up to +200VDC
@ 5A."

HiI understand you can use the key out on the kx2 to signal an external amp.
In the manual, it mentions to look up the voltage and current specs for this
in the specifications in the manual.However, there is nothing there. Does
anyone know the rating?can it directly drive a 12v relay requiring
250ma?Thanks, Tom va2fsq.com

Re: [Elecraft] K3S - Build or Buy

[efortner]

Hi Bill,

At the Shelby Hamfest, 2015 I ordered the entire K-Line, Amp, KAT500, K3s and 
Elecraft P3 along with the filters they suggested. I received the shipment in 
late September. Took inventory of all parts as they recommended. I started with 
the receiver and finished with KPA500 amplifier. It was not difficult and took 
about three weeks in spare time. It worked when finished but had one minor 
issue after I started using it. It turned out the reference oscillator was 
defective and would drift after the K3s warmed up and would stop receiving. A 
little trouble shooting with help from the factory soon had another reference 
oscillator on the way. I have probably worked a 100 new countries since then. 
About the only things you need to buy are a muffin tin to hold the small parts. 
Several new screwdrives for the small screws and a static mat with wrist clip. 
No soldering, just a lot of small screws, nuts, washers and lock washers. My 
age is 78.

Regards, Earl Fortner, K4KAY

Subject: [Elecraft] K3S - Build or Buy

I’m considering the purchase of a K3S and was wondering what are the pros and 
cons of building versus buying a factory radio. Is building worth the $200 in 
savings?

I would be interested to see the macro that you are using to set the power.

I too would like to be able to toggle a higher and lower power at the push of a 
button
