Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Macros commands
Gerard, The PO; command displays actual output power. It will always respond with PO000; unless you're transmitting. See the PC; command for getting and setting the requested power output level. At present there is no way to add a long delay to a macro. You could add a series of ; to add a short delay. With what other commands are you having a problem? David, W4SMT From: Gerard Elijzen To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Saturday, October 29, 2016 11:57 PM Subject: [Elecraft] KX3 Macros commands Hi all, Just been playing with commands for the KX3 and found that when using the KX3 Utility on my MacBook Pro, that some commands don’t get a return. For example: PO; always returns P despite that the power has been set at 10W. There are others as well which do not return anything after issuing a command to the KX3. I am only just starting to look into the possibilities with Macros and I hope to make a Macro which will do (roughly) the following: 1. CW mode 2. set Power 100mW 3. sent message 1 4. Pause 10 seconds 5. set Power 1W 6. sent message 2 7. Pause 10 seconds 8. set Power 5W 9. sent message 3 10. go back to 2 or exit Not sure if “a Pause can be done”. Newbie here and just starting, testing and reading up with the KX3 commands.

[Elecraft] Paper Tape CW sender
Hi to the group. My silent key friend's XYL has a paper tape morse code device and we would like to donate it to a museum. It is in a nice looking wood box. It has one paper tape, a hand crank on the side of the box and should be saved as an important piece of history. His XYL and I are both 74 years old so it will just be a matter of time before this ends up in a land fill if we don't find a home for it. She sent me two pictures of it so if anyone is interested I can E-Mail the pictures. She will donate the piece and I will pay shipping if we can find a home for it. 73 Ken Christiansen.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Unwanted Scanning
I had some notes from a couple of years ago when I was plagued with this
scanning issue. My notes were a little incomplete. So, I embarked on a
few tests to narrow down the proper KX3 settings. Don had the right advice
for you - the secret sauce is the Data A mode.
The Mic Btn menu item can be set to anything. An additional observation is
that the mic bias and mic btn menu items will not be available to change
their values when in Data A. Mind you though, I also had the Mic Btn set
to just PTT (as Bill suggested) from a couple of years ago. But, today's
tests showed me scanning would happen regardless of the Mic Btn value.
FYI...I have the latest firmware on the KX3 (non-beta).
I did a few tests to prove my theory. Data A being set for any external
sound card hookup yielded no scanning. If the 'D' data modes were
selected, unplugging and plugging the mic cable (green), would result in a
short scan and then stop. I tried various values of mic bias and mic btn
and all had the same scanning effect when not in Data A mode.
regards,
Brian

[Elecraft] KAT500 - Tuning Anomoly
Up until last week, my KAT500 has run lawlessly. However, it now has a problem tuning my 160M dipole for no obvious reason. Symptoms are continuous searching for a match. If it finds a match in tune mode, as soon as you hit the key, it begins tuning again in "Auto" mode or faults in "MAN" mode, regardless of power level. What is interesting is that the KAT500 will tune my OCF Windom on 160M with no problem. Initially assuming it was the antenna at fault, I did the follow checks. - Checked the 160M dipole with an Antenna Analyzer and both it and the coax check out fine. Even where the analyzer suggests a 1:1 match, the KAT500 tries to retune. - Switched input ports on the back of the KAT500. No change. - Used the K3 ATU (with KAT500 in bypass mode and with the dipole directly connected to the K3) and it matches the 160M dipole antenna with no trouble. - Erased all the previous 160M tune memories, no change.- Reset factory defaults, no change.- Reloaded the firmware from the website, no change. I would appreciate insight one my have.Thanks & 73 Bill - W0BBI __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 - Tuning Anomoly
Hi, When you use the antenna analyzer very little power is used. When you tune, much more power is used. I have a 160m antenna and never have an issue if I run below 100W. The minute it gets to 110, I have the same issues as you. I suggest turning down the tune power as a test. You can find this in the menus for the K3 under TUN PWR. 73 Tom va2fsq.com -Original Message- From: Bill Wiehe via Elecraft Sent: Sunday, October 30, 2016 3:20 PM To: Elecraft Reflector Subject: [Elecraft] KAT500 - Tuning Anomoly Up until last week, my KAT500 has run lawlessly.

Re: [Elecraft] Paper Tape CW sender
When I worked at W1AW back in the mid-70s, we were still using paper tape to send CW, but it was 5-hole tape, the same as used for RTTY. A converter box made by Frederick Electronics converted the RTTY Baudot code to Morse. However, we did have an old 2-hole CW tape machine that was used for the frequency-measuring tests because you could send long dashes with it by manually covering up the "off" hole at the end of a dot or dash. I don't remember what brand of machine it was. You might consider donating your "find" to the ARRL museum. I believe Bob Allison WB1GCM of the ARRL lab is the curator. 860-594-0210 Alan N1AL On 10/30/2016 01:54 PM, Don Hall wrote: Shades of yore!!

The KAT500 needs at least 20 watts for effective tuning. Apparently your antenna system is breaking down at some level below that.

Contact RD (Richard Dillman) at i...@radiomarine.org. They are great bunch helping to preserve the history of Morse on the air. My connection with them was that when they were still handling ship traffic I worked them from various vessels in the San Francisco area and I've visited them. Also, an "Elmer" of mine from way back in the 1950's was an operator there. 73, Ron AC7AC -Original Message- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Charlie T, K3ICH Sent: Sunday, October 30, 2016 4:39 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Paper Tape CW sender Are y'all talking about an "Instructo-Graph" (if I spelled it correctly)? Got a couple of those in the basement along with some Int'l Morse & American Morse paper tapes. If I remember correctly, one is a spring driven, wind up and the other has an AC motor drive. 73, Charlie k3ICH -Original Message- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of George Kidder Sent: Sunday, October 30, 2016 5:57 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Paper Tape CW sender Interesting! I used to own one of these (the single-hole variety) - it never worked too well, but then I was no expert at it. Don't remember where I got rid of it - probably at a hamfest for a song. I took my extra code exam with a portable version of this machine, run by the FCC examiner. It's a long story which I won't repeat, but it involved a tape machine malfunction! Cranky beasts.

Re: [Elecraft] K3-10 Rx sensitivity update
It's been my experience that this issue also affects TX output power. My fix was to add a solder lug to the board side standoff screw and one to the SO239 flange and solder a short buss wire between them. On 10/28/2016 1:40 PM, Allen Bush via Elecraft wrote: Update on K3-10 Rx sensitivity problem . found the culprit. The single standoff for the corner of the KANT3 board was loose between the standoff and the T connector by about a turn. Wiggling the board around caused the noise to come and go. Tightening the standoff cured the problemAllen, W0OUU __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to wes_n...@triconet.org __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
[Elecraft] K3-TX "stutters" on power up
This may not be new, I often pay no attention to the radio if I power it up, but recently I've noticed that it's going into TX multiple times as the start-up display scrolls by on VFO B. I don't think it's making any RF. FWIW: I do operate W7RN remote using RemoteRig which immediately puts the K3 into TERM mode. This problem I've noticed happens when I'm operating from home, 100W, almost always on CW. I don't see any harm to it, it's just new, and I'm wondering. FW is 5.38 Any info appreciated. 73, Fred K6DGW - Sparks NV DM09dn - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the Cal QSO Party 7-8 Oct 2017 - www.cqp.org __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
