Re: [Elecraft] K3S: LCD backlight is on, but no segments are lit
Hi Eric, Thanks for the response. As I mentioned in my positing, I'm on "the line" with the support people and have an active thread. They want my rig for 2-3 weeks, which is not compatible with my travel plans, so I'm looking for other ways to fix the problem. -christopher. 73 de AI6KG On Wed, Aug 2, 2017 at 10:09 PM, Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft < e...@elecraft.com> wrote: > Better yet, email supp...@elecraft.com > > Our tech support team is here ti help! > > 73, > Eric > elecraft.com > _..._ > > > > > On Aug 2, 2017, at 7:06 PM, Wes Stewart wrote: > > > > You're an hour away from Elecraft.

I don't know if this a beta FW quirk or a feature. It definitely isn't what I'd want in a contest. VFO B might be on a band for mults and VFO A changing bands as needed. Am I doing something wrong?

Grids mostly matter on VHF, and nearly universal practice is for the grid to be part of the first "over" in every QSO, regardless of mode. All software to run K1JT's WSJT modes default to sending the grid when calling CQ and answering a CQ. qrz.com has a great mapping feature that shows where the software thinks his/her QTH is. It's easy to zoom in to see if the map location agrees with a street address, and you can click on "explore on a grid map" below the map to see the outline of the 6-character grid. Another great grid mapper is on aprs.fi which is designed to track APRS stations. If you enter a grid, the software will outline it on what looks like a google map. Again, it's easy to zoom and pan this map to see streets and other details. I discovered this when chasing a mobile who was lighting up nearly a dozen grids on a trip from ND to AZ, mostly working MSK144 (meteor scatter). When you set up your qrz.com page, it's easy to enter your QTH either as a grid square or lat/lon. But when you don't do that, qrz.com uses your license address. I also chase CQ Fields, which are the rectangles defined by the two letters in the grid square. The field is rarely part of a QSO, so you have to figure it out from available data. When the ham hasn't entered his QTH, in some countries qrz.com will pick the geographic center of the country. This can yield very wrong results in large countries like Russia or Australia. :) 73, Jim K9YC __ 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 li...@subich.com __ 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] OT: About Grid Squares
Multiple ramifications here. Unless the ham has specifically entered his station coordinates, the coordinates in QRZ, and thus the grid, will usually default to the Post Office that services his ZIP code. It is "usually" because even that doesn't always happen in very small communities. And to complicate things, my home grid is DM09dn. I often operate W7RN remotely with my call. That grid is DM09ei, and the two are good to four characters. W1YL also operates W7RN remotely ... from FL, which isn't good to any characters. I think you have to get the grid from the station during the QSO, if grid matters. 73, Fred ["Skip"] K6DGW Sparks NV DM09dn Washoe County On 8/2/2017 9:42 AM, James Bennett wrote: The other issue that I run into a LOT is with folks who are either on vacation, traveling, or have moved and simply have not updated their records.

[Elecraft] OT: About Grid Squares
Many of us use QRZ.com listings to determine the grid square for a given station. Use caution ... QRZ apparently uses the address location to determine the grid square that the website shows.. There are numerous situations where the address is a P.O. box that is -not- in the station's actual grid. An example is a nearby city that happens to be split by a grid border of two grids and there are several stations who have P.O. boxes that are -not- in the grid where the station is located. If the station you're logging is a mobile ... all bets are off.

[Elecraft] Receiving independent bands
Guys, The solar eclipse is coming and one group is asking for people to record 8 hours of doppler shifts and amplitudes on as many WWV and CHU freqs as possible. I have a K3 with subrx. I'm having trouble different frequencies in the main and subrx. Here's what I want to do: 1) Put highest band in the main (14.X MHz) 2) Put lowest band in the sub. (7.x MHz) 3) Main antenna is shared. VFO IND is Yes LNK OFF VFO's set in split or not (tried both ways). Put lowest frequency into main RX and set AGC, bandwidth et al. hit A->B twice to enter all info into the sub rx. Now here is the glitch. No matter how I try to enter the higher frequency into A (punch it from front panel in or via logging program). The main RX frequency gets copied to B. Yes VFO linking is off as indicated by no flashing decimal point. The only way I've been able to get what I want is to tune VFO A dial to the desired frequency. A royal pain. Is there an easier way? 73 de Brian/K3KO __ 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
