Re: [Elecraft] [K1] Looking for KAT1 built/unbuilt for my son

[Petr Ourednik]

Hello Don,

many thanks for email.
Yes I contacted Elecraft and ordered few parts.
Unfortunately not KAT1 and other modules purchased even although I
ordered them at the time when they were available on web page...
Elecraft sales responded to me 1 week later so due to that delay modules
has been sold...

Many thanks for help Don,

Re: [Elecraft] OT - Cruise Operation

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

As Phil noted that all ended in 1999. 

I serviced many of those consoles while they were still required and found it 
interesting how the economics worked. For example, the required "back up" 
receiver was a crystal detector for many years after "high tech" regenerative 
receivers were added. In the 1980's I still found a space (now blank) for the 
crystal detector on some ships (and that is why emergency comms always used 
MCW, right up to the end in 1999, in case someone was hearing the signal on a 
receiver without a BFO such as a crystal detector). 

Most of the ship's LF/MF consoles used a regenerative receiver as the required 
backup, once a superhet took over the main receiver position. It was fun 
servicing them and they were effective. As one Sparks told me when I returned 
his regen receiver, hooked it up and noted that local broadcast band stations 
near the port were causing heavy blocking, "Sonny!" He said, "If'n this tubs 
sink'n and someone is close enough to block my regen he's the ship I WANT to 
talk to!"

As Archie Bunker said, "Those were the days!"

Scott,

The Tenergy battery charger is just for charging the battery, not for 
running the radio.
The PAE power supply is not for charging the battery, but will run the 
radio just fine.


Lithium batteries are to be treated with care.  If abused, the can 
create fires or explosions.  You have surely heard the stories of fires 
started by Li-ion batteries.  Use them and charge them properly to be safe.

Re: [Elecraft] practicing CW on K2 without transmitting?

[Don Wilhelm]

Steve,

There is the TEST MODE.
Set the K2 to CW mode and hold VOX to turn it ON/OFF.  See page 100 in 
the K2 manual.


The other way is to connect a dummy load and turn the power all the way 
down.

It must have been "a long time ago" because commercial high-seas MF/HF
CW traffic ended July 12, 1999.  The Maritime Radio Historical Society
has resurrected San Francisco Radio (KPH/KFS/KSM) on the air Saturdays
under the auspices of the Golden Gate National Seashore (National Park
Service) but very few ships have Morse equipment and/or operators.
Safety watch is no longer kept on 500 kHz since the Global Maritime
Distress and Safety System (HF SITOR/SSB, VHF-FM, and satellite radio)
came into force for US-flag vessels in 1999.

Re: [Elecraft] practicing CW on K2 without transmitting?

[Cady, Fred]

Hi,

You can set VOX MD to off so you are in PTT mode to transmit or you can just 
set the output power to 0.0.

The other neat thing you can do is Hold TEXT to enter the text decode dialog.  
Then select TX ONLY to be able to have the K2 check the characters.

Cheers,

Fred KE7X

[Elecraft] K-Pod and SO2V

[j...@kk9a.com]

I recently purchased a K-Pod and used it for the first time in the CQWW
RTTY contest last weekend. I found it to be very useful for tuning in off
frequency callers. It was also convenient for changing frequency and with
a little very simple programming I was able to control a few features on
the radio without reaching over the keyboard to the K3S. The only weird
thing is the touch button programs (which is the easiest and fastest way
for me to use a button as opposed to holding it down) start at macro 9 and
not 1.

For RTTY contesting have my K3S main and sub receiver set up in Writelog
as separate radios using N6EE's instructions and works well for SO2V
except for one issue. When I arrow between the two receivers, it mutes the
headphone sound of the one that is not highlighted although both
continuously decode in Writelog. If I move the K3S volume control even
slightly the headphone audio returns however this is a pain to keep doing
as I switch back and forth often during a contest. I want to hear both
receivers simultaneously all of the time. Is there a setting for this?

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 latest beta FW? (and spkr issue)

[John Hiatt]

Actually, the latest beta is 2.79, it just has not been made public yet. From a 
post by Wayne on the 9th:


KX2 firmware rev. 2.79 has several minor improvements, including:

- CW sidetone volume can be set much lower

- Auto-power-off timer range is now 5 to 100 minutes (was 3-20 minutes)

- Filter bandwidth settings modified to prevent degradation of opposite 
sideband suppression

All of these changes will also be made to the KX3’s firmware next week.

If you have a KX2 and would be interested in testing the new release, please 
email me directly.


John KC7DRI



I haven't seen much (if any) discussion about the latest KX2 beta
firmware (MCU 2.77 / DSP 1.50, May 26, 2017).

I generally don't try beta firmware unless I have a surplus device to
try it on (or unless I really don't care if device I'm trying on works).

Who else, outside of Elecraft employees, is running it? Have you noticed
any stability issues?

firmware (MCU 2.77 / DSP 1.50, May 26, 2017).

I generally don't try beta firmware unless I have a surplus device to
try it on (or unless I really don't care if device I'm trying on works).

Who else, outside of Elecraft employees, is running it? Have you noticed
any stability issues?

-
As a side note, I thought I had somehow blown my KX2 speaker by
accidentally turning off the AGC. So I just switched to earbuds and
didn't mess with it for a month. Then I got brave and set out to remove
the speaker from the KX2 bottom plate.

After removing the bottom plate from the KX2, and before removing the
speaker, I saw something shiny between the grille and the cone. It was a
single whisker-strand from the 26ga copper-clad I use for my portable
wire antenna. It was completing a magnetic circuit between the voicecoil
spool and the chassis sheet metal. After some very patient work with
tweezers, it was removed and my speaker was fixed.

I recommend that Elecraft glue a layer of fine mesh fabric to the inside
of the sheet metal to protect the speaker from this kind of dirt.

[Elecraft] Low Tx Data Sound Output volume

[Irwin Darack]

I am not sure if this is a Windows 10 problem or something changes in my
K3s settings and want to see if others have experienced the same thing?

When the K3s is in Tx Data (PSK 31 and RTTY) - AFSK -A LSB, I now find that
the data output (sound) is no much lower than when just in LSB mode. This
seems to have occurred with the latest Windows 10 update. Hence in this
weekends CQWW RTTY contest, I could only use MMTTY with the K3s in LSB mode
and not Tx Data mode.  I am not sure if it changed something with the Codec
driver or by some fluke, something changes in the K3s settings. Hence, I
ran the contest in LSB versus Tx Data.
Thanks,
--
