Re: [Elecraft] Remote computer won't communicate with K3 after re-installing Windows 10
Why doesn't he use the MicroHam device with the Elecraft transceiver? It works well for me. John KK9A Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: Mon Aug 14 12:27:20 EDT 2017 I need some help from the reflector. First of all, I am NOT a K3 owner. I am helping a friend remotely who is 2000 miles away. His computer was running Windows 10 and was previously working with the K3, both with the K3 Utility as well as DX4WIN. I had to rebuild the computer from scratch after a number of software problems developed. His microHAM device with several virtual COM ports is working fine (it's interfaced to a Ten-Tec Orion). It's only the K3 that we're having problems with. I have been referring to this page: http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_software.htm First of all, regarding this statement, "Elecraft offers the KUSB serial-to-USB cable for USB only computers etc. Our cable was originally provided using a Prolific chip set but since approximately July of 2010 we have been shipping KUSB cables which use the FTDI chip set." How do I determine which chipset he has? Other than the virtual COM ports for the microHAM device, I see two other ports: One that says simply, "USB Com Port 3" Another port mentions a Silicon Labs driver, and it shows up on COM10. There is no overlap of any COM port numbers. I have tried both DX4WIN and the K3 utility with both COM ports (3 and 10). While there are no "unknown port" errors, neither program can communicate with the K3 on either port. So something is missing and I do not know what that is. Again, I am trying to do this remotely, so it's hard for me to pull cables, etc. to try to figure out what's going on. Can someone please suggest a course of action for me to try to debug this problem? Mainly, I don't know which of the two COM devices above *may* be for the K3, and whether the correct driver is installed.

Re: [Elecraft] K3s and RemoteRig
I don't think you're missing anything, Fred. You're describing what you do
at the control site whereas much of the thread has concerned the radio
site. There are differences that I alluded to in my long post but did not
detail.
At my control site I use an SO2R box to route mic, key, phones, and PTT
lines either to the local K3 or to the Control RRC, which looks to the SO2R
box like another radio. This eliminates cable swapping on the Control side.
(I also use an SO2R box at the radio site for real SO2R when I'm there. I
omitted that in my long post for simplicity. And, finally, my control site
switching makes it theoretically possible to conduct SO2Q operation with
active radios at two different QTHs! That isn't legal for any contest I
know of but would sure be a lot of fun. I intend to try it when I free up
some desk space at my control QTH!)

Re: [Elecraft] K3s and RemoteRig
Teamviewer and similar are remote desktop tools that are indeed useful for controlling automation when the user interface application can not be run at the control site. However, like Fred says, these tools are awkward. I try to minimize their use. There are two mitigating techniques: 1. My favorite is control applications that can run as a client/server pair. In particular, KPA500 Remote, KAT500 Remote, and PstRotatorAz all have excellent client/server characteristics. When you do it this way, you have full freedom in moving, sizing, and configuring the appearance of automation control application windows at the control site. It does, however, require a computer at the remote radio site. 2. If a control application doesn't support client/server operation, it may still be usable at the control site through the use of remote serial ports. These are hardware boxes (or naked boards!) installed at the radio site that connect to the controlled device through a serial port or USB equivalent and to the Internet. At the control site, software makes the device appear as a local, virtual serial port. This technique can also be used with the above-mentioned apps that do support c/s even if you don't have a server computer at the radio site. I don't use this technique (yet) but have seen it work in others' remote control systems. 73, /Rick N6XI On Sun, Aug 13, 2017 at 9:58 PM, Fred Jensen wrote: > > > Teamviewer [or similar] can be used to control your station automation, > including the control program for the KPA500 or [I presume] the KPA1500. > Getting the P3 to work is another issue with no simple answer.

Re: [Elecraft] Remote computer won't communicate with K3 after re-installing Windows 10
Jim, just disconnect and reconnect each USB cable while watching the COM
ports in Device Mangler. You'll see the port disappear and then reappear.
FWIW: I never had any problems with Prolific USB-Serial chipsets until
Win10 graciously installed itself in the middle of the night without
asking. Turns out, there are several generations of Prolific chipsets,
and there are no Win10 drivers for a couple of the oldest ones. I found
an adapter with one of the more recent chipsets and it works fine.

Thanks, Bill, but I don't know which interface cable he has - it could
be Prolific or FTDI, depending on how old it is. Because there are
two COM ports not associated with the microHAM device (the generic
"USB" and the one that has a Silicon Labs driver), I guess I have to
assume that the generic USB COM port is the one that the K3 needs.
I'll see what type of device it is, and if I can find the right driver
for it.

Re: [Elecraft] K3s and RemoteRig
Yes, exactly. Elecraft provides [for a small charge] a cable adapter
that neatly connects the RemoteRig to the K3s or K3/0 via the USB port.
Your micand headphones go into the K3s or K3/0 giving you all the
options of front/back panel, bias on/off from the menu, etc.To operate
locally from the control site, just pull the USB connector from the
RemoteRig box.
With a K3 as control, as I have, the RemoteRig connects to the K3 RS-232
CAT port, and when operating remote, the mic and phones go to the RRC
box. For local operation on my HOA Stealth ant, I have to disconnect the
CAT port and move the mic and phones to the K3. The K3 internal keyer
only works locally.
So, not *all* the cablingand plugging/unplugging goes away with a K3s or
K3/0, but much of it does, what is left is fairly esthetic [if you're
into artful cables], and the functions in the K3s or K3/0 all work
normally, remote or local. Almost enough to prompt me to upgrade to a K3s.

[Elecraft] OT: (Inductively coupled, balanced tuner) Need info offline
I have acquired what once was an old, heavy duty, inductively coupled balanced tuner that needs to be completely rebuilt. It looks like it had never been incased, either. The parts can handle some power. I only have 100 watts, but I would like to see how the individual coils perform compared to my Johnson Matchbox with the Anneke Mod. The 8 plug-in coil units are commercially made, and are stenciled 2 to 18 MC. They are about 11 CM (4.25 in) in diameter and about 14 CM (5.5 in) long. They each have 5 banana plugs about 3.25 CM (1.25 in) apart OC. FYI- Two of the variable capacitors have 1 CM spacing between the plates, and are about 9 CM (3.5 inches) in diameter, and are about 34 CM (13.5 in) long. There are two other var caps that are smaller, but very nice. Here is the problem: The plug-in coil units have banana plugs already described. One became unscrewed on one unit and is missing. The base unit they plug into is stenciled ‘TVL BASE’ and it is missing the center socket that the banana plugs mate with. I can possibly work around this using an alligator clip, but I would like to get replacement parts if possible. So far, my searches have resulted in nothing even close. If anyone can help, please contact me off-line. Some of you have been wonderful in the past.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Digest, Vol 160, Issue 18 - More on the TTFD
True. For any given total length, the loss to the termination increases
as the TX frequency goes down, and the loss vs freq curve rises rapidly
near the lower end. The solution of course is to make the total length
of the FD, end-to-end long enough that the termination loss at the
chosen TX freq(s) is close to 3 dB. This works well for the military
and government installations who often have a small number of assigned
frequencies, and the ubiquitous "B&W Over Armories" version capitalizes
on this. ALE complicates that strategy somewhat of course.
As has been noted before, antenna choice is a basket full of trade-offs
and not every application for an antenna is to make Honor Roll in a
week. Paraphrasing Rowdy, my #1 while in the military, "We sometimes
find ourselves trying to pick fly poop out of the pepper." In that
vein, I suspect that 95%+ of the time, anything I can work with 10 W on
20 m from my K2 I can also work with 5 W on 20 m from the same K2. Of
course, 87.49% of people make up their own statistics too. [:-)

The one point I disagree with is the
statement that the terminating resistor dissipates half the power. The power
dissipated is a function of frequency and, while it is not far from 3 dB at
the high end of the frequency range, it absorbs much more at the low end --
about 90%! Not only is that 10 dB less signal on transmit, but the resistor
power rating needs to be 90% of the transmit output, if high duty-cycle
modes are used. Note that it is not as big a problem on receive, since the
receive S/N on the lower bands is sufficiently atmospheric noise limited,
that the receive S/N is not greatly impacted, even though the s-meter will
read lower by 10 dB.

Thanks, Bill, but I don't know which interface cable he has - it could be Prolific or FTDI, depending on how old it is. Because there are two COM ports not associated with the microHAM device (the generic "USB" and the one that has a Silicon Labs driver), I guess I have to assume that the generic USB COM port is the one that the K3 needs. I'll see what type of device it is, and if I can find the right driver for it. - Jim -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , http://www.ad1c.us __ 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] Remote computer won't communicate with K3 after re-installing Windows 10
I need some help from the reflector. First of all, I am NOT a K3 owner. I am helping a friend remotely who is 2000 miles away. His computer was running Windows 10 and was previously working with the K3, both with the K3 Utility as well as DX4WIN. I had to rebuild the computer from scratch after a number of software problems developed. His microHAM device with several virtual COM ports is working fine (it's interfaced to a Ten-Tec Orion). It's only the K3 that we're having problems with. I have been referring to this page: http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_software.htm First of all, regarding this statement, "Elecraft offers the KUSB serial-to-USB cable for USB only computers etc. Our cable was originally provided using a Prolific chip set but since approximately July of 2010 we have been shipping KUSB cables which use the FTDI chip set." How do I determine which chipset he has? Other than the virtual COM ports for the microHAM device, I see two other ports: One that says simply, "USB Com Port 3" Another port mentions a Silicon Labs driver, and it shows up on COM10. There is no overlap of any COM port numbers. I have tried both DX4WIN and the K3 utility with both COM ports (3 and 10). While there are no "unknown port" errors, neither program can communicate with the K3 on either port. So something is missing and I do not know what that is. Again, I am trying to do this remotely, so it's hard for me to pull cables, etc. to try to figure out what's going on. Can someone please suggest a course of action for me to try to debug this problem? Mainly, I don't know which of the two COM devices above *may* be for the K3, and whether the correct driver is installed.

[Elecraft] KX1 For Sale
GM Guys, I have a KX1 for sale, s/n 2698. It's in excellent condition, has the ATU installed, also has the paddles. Don Wilhelm, W3FPR went thru it a few months ago and gave it a clean bill of health ! While it was there, he built and installed for me the K6XX CW indicator kit which allows you to zero beat the station with the lamp installed on the KX1. It comes with the manual of course ! I already have another KX1, and went and broke down and bought a K1, my third ! Can't seem to stay away from the K1lol ! So this one is really surplus to my needs, plus I need to put the money back in the bank I used to buy the K1lol !! Price is $450.00 firm, I'll pay shipping and insurance. I can do PayPal or M.O.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Digest, Vol 160, Issue 18 - More on the TTFD
I agree with most of the statements about the TTFD, or B&W FD, if you prefer. While not as efficient as some, it meets a number of particular needs, especially that it has a similar directional pattern over a 5:1 frequency range -- especially useful for point-to-point links using multiple HF frequencies, either manually or by ALE. I did an assessment of this antenna and wrote a QST article on it that I recommend for those interested. The one point I disagree with is the statement that the terminating resistor dissipates half the power. The power dissipated is a function of frequency and, while it is not far from 3 dB at the high end of the frequency range, it absorbs much more at the low end -- about 90%! Not only is that 10 dB less signal on transmit, but the resistor power rating needs to be 90% of the transmit output, if high duty-cycle modes are used. Note that it is not as big a problem on receive, since the receive S/N on the lower bands is sufficiently atmospheric noise limited, that the receive S/N is not greatly impacted, even though the s-meter will read lower by 10 dB. My article is available to ARRL members on the QST print archive on the ARRL website.

[Elecraft] KPA 1500 and Pure Signal - a DDC/DUC SDR in the Elecraft pipeline?
G’day I am sure I am not the only one who has noticed that the new KPA 1500 has a connector on its rear panel labelled ‘TX Sample’. Reading the Elecraft FAQ on the KPA 1500, it says that this “provides a low level KPA 1500 TX RF signal for sampling use by transceivers that support closed-loop pre-distortion techniques, e.g. Pure Signal. This low-level signal is taken directly from the amplifier’s directional coupler.” For those on this reflector who are not familiar with ‘Pure Signal’, it is the name given to “the theory and implementation of the clean transmission logic developed by the OpenHPSDR team and implemented in PowerSDR [softwar as used with the ANAN radios” (see SDR-Radio.com - http://sdr-radio.com/Version-3/Transmit/Pure-Signal). Using pre-distortion, Pure Signal means that transmit IM3 can be improved significantly – up to 20dB from memory. Now Pure Signal is an SDR technique and many amateurs have been wondering when Elecraft is going to finally take a leap beyond the KX3 into digital down conversion/up conversion SDR or even the latest Direct Fourier Conversion SDR? Looks to me perhaps that the leap is not far off – unless Elecraft are seeing a big market for ANAN SDR owners buying the KPA 1500 (which, incidentally looks fabulous)? ;-) What say you, Wayne N6KR?
