[Elecraft] Help with Elecraft mainman.qth list

[WB3AAL]

Hello,

 Please email me directly with replies to  wb3aal @ Verizon . net

I am switching over to a new email provider and I am having issues with
changing my email address at the mailman.qth.net server.

I sent them a help request and they told me to contact the List Admin.

Maybe it would be easier to just sign up to the list with my new email
address and let the old one just suffer.

Thanks for any and all replies.

Re: [Elecraft] XG50 temp comp for KX3

[Thorpe, Jeffrey]

Thanks Walter - Pretty much what I was thinking, but thought I would ask. That 
only costs a couple electrons and a minute.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S/100 - Add a KPA500/KAT500?

[MaverickNH]

Kerry WA2NAN confirmed that G5RV was good to 1500W. In general, when talking
wattage ratings, is the figure quoted PEP?

[Elecraft] Follow up shack / house burn

[William Lagerberg]

Dear Radio Friends,

First I am dutch and perhaps my English is not as good as it should be, sorry 
for that.

It has been 5 almost 6 weeks after the fire with destroyed our house for 50% it 
started in my shack. We am stil inventorying our house for the insurance. I 
good send fotos, but don’t know how, the server don’t want that :-)

At first let me give all of you some advice, please take a digital camera and 
walk trough your house and make from everything pictures, all stuf if it is in 
a cabinet or in a drawer, downstairs upstairs or on the 2e floor just do it. It 
saves you a lot of time. When something goos wrong like a fire or so. We really 
lost a hole cabinets which all our papers invoices etc, a cabinet of 2 meters 
high 1,20 wide it is just gone with everything in it.

I even did hear somebody who has inventory listsof everything. But 
thats for you to decide..

My question is, everything is burned some things only on the outside my 736 is 
just gone but the 50 Mhz and the 1296 module looks ok, my R5000 is a goner but 
the filters are ok,

I took my K1 K2 K3 and P3 totally apart an whith a sonic-cleaner with special 
stuf ( from the guys who are helping us) I cleaned every part of them.
I think I managed to save a lot of electronics the prints look like new. but 
all the cabinets and buttons are gone, from the K3 the daling knob is melted, 
really and the prints look fine. My KX3 seem to have survived it it was in a 
aluminium box. 

So I am looking for somebody who has the opposite per haps a lightning strike 
or so and all electronics gone but the cabinets ok.

If there is somebody who can help me I would be very glad. I am looking for K2 
K2 Tuner and K3 and P3 housing.

In the last stage I am going to ask Elecraft to help me., but I thought first 
try this.

Regards everybody PE1BSB

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 and Omnirig ...

[Dave B via Elecraft]

I did that some time ago for my IC-R70, with a custom 4 bit to serial
interface I built, for use with Faros.

It's not difficult, you just have to learn one thing at a time.

An extra serial port (or comOcom) and dumb terminal, so you can
"pretend" to be a radio, and see what OmniRig sends, and what it does
when you send stuff back to it, is very useful.

If there is a K3/KX3 file (I don't know if there is, it's been a while)
look at that for examples, in conjunction with the relevant manuals.

Has anybody had any experience with coming up with an omnirig ini file for
the KX2 ? Failing that, any pointers to how to come up with a new file ?
I've read the Afreet readme files, but am still no wiser as to how to go
about this.

Thanks !!

Re: [Elecraft] K3 memory editor

[G4GNX]

I realise that it's only two of us so far, but I suspect it's a bug.

Hopefully, Elecraft will fix it.

I have exactly the same problem using it with my KX3 (win10).

I just started using the K3 memory editor (v1.5.7.20 dated 2015) for the
first time and I find it behaves in a strange way, depending whether a
memory has content or not.

At present I have general memories 0 thru 23 loaded with data and memories
85 thru 99 also loaded. All other memories are ‘empty’.

If I try to read all memories from the K3, the editor program reaches
memory 24 (empty) and stalls. If I click the Cancel button, it reports
‘cancelling’ but does nothing. I can abort the action by clicking the red
close icon. When I check the ‘spreadsheet’ I find that memories 0 thru 23
are filled and displayed, but not memories 85 thru 99. The only way to
read memories 85 thru 99 is to ‘select’ them first, then read selected.
Attempting to read any empty memory individually results in the function
stalling.

I also tried clearing a single memory entry and uploading it to the K3,
which seems to work OK, but attempting to read it back, results in a
stall.

Is this normal behavior – a bug, or do I have an old or corrupted memory
editor.
