Re: [Elecraft] New product idea for Elecraft...?
I don't understand the need for all that menu access in the first place for normal operating. I've literally operated complete major contests (CQWW, ARRL DX, etc) without ever changing anything in the menu, and that covers dramatic changes in operating conditions (propagation, QRN, QRM, etc). Yes, I played around with many of the settings when I first got my K3, but once I settled on what I felt were the optimum settings for the majority of my operations I haven't touched them since. Everything I need to change on the fly is already right there on the front panel. The fact that there are lots of deep options doesn't mean it makes sense to have to constantly diddle with them.

Re: [Elecraft] SDRPlay as panadapter
Don't have the SDRPlay, but do have a SDR-IQ which operates using Spectravue quite nicely. Noise floor below 550-KHz is -130 dBm and with antenna noise varies -115 to -95 dBm in the 600m band. I typically use it on the 28-MHz IF of my VHF and higher transverters. I bought two LP-Pan1 (with mod to LP-Pan2) which are connected to my K3 main and subreceiver's IF's. I can run them as panoramic band span through a Delta soundcard for up to 192-KHz bandspan. The LP-Pan are tied to a single LO for coherent dual IQ to recover diversity reception. 73, Ed - KL7UW http://www.kl7uw.com Dubus-NA Business mail: dubus...@gmail.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] New product idea for Elecraft...?
During normal operation, the controls on the front of the K3/K3S will have all the control that is needed. There is no need to drill down into the menu for operation. The menu is normally for setup of your K3 which can be customized to your preferences before any serious operating events. I wonder what form of operating you are doing that requires constant access to the menu system. The K-Pod was not intended to alter the menu settings, it is an accessory that allows the operator (primarily contester of DXer) who uses a keyboard to reach the commonly used controls (VFO A, VFO B and RIT) without moving the hands to the radio - it is only a small distance to move the hand from the keyboard to the K-Pod. Yes, the K-Pod can initiate up to 16 K3 Macros via the buttons. What those macros may be are defined by the user. So if you are constantly using the menu system for some adjustments during normal operation, it would be wise to write macros that access that menu item(s) from a K-Pod button tap or hold. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/26/2017 9:08 PM, Byron Servies wrote: Hi there!

Re: [Elecraft] New product idea for Elecraft...?
Have you looked at Win4K3? I realize it's not the hardware solution you wanted, but it does bring out all the controls to a PC screen so you can point and click at pretty much any of them rather than going through the menus on the radio... I suppose one could build exactly what you proposed using a box of knobs, switches, and meters connected to an Arduino or similar microcontroller, which would talk to the radio via the serial port. I actually did build a controller of sorts using a Arduino nano stuffed inside an old optical mouse. I used the mouse wheel and buttons and assigned them specific serial commands to send to the K3. Works pretty well for its intended purpose. An expansion of that idea could likely give you most of what you want.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 20 watt internal tuner
Or you can use the ‘twins’ configuration of the K2/100: with the KPA100 and the KAT100 in a separate EC2, you have a 100 watt rig with a 100 watt tuner. Unplug the K2 from the EC2 and you have a 20 watt QRP rig with a 20 watt tuner. It’s that easy.

Re: [Elecraft] OT - Cruise Operation
This uber-complexity seems to occur in many early radio equipments, often the ones purchased by the government. I've seen NDB's with two non-shifted xtal oscillators, one keyed on/off to achieve the same result. They're the pits if the unkeyed one is the one giving you QRM problems on 160. I've also seen a single oscillator, with the PA cathode or grid blocked keyed. Maybe it's "more complex, more revenue." 73, Fred ["Skip"] K6DGW Sparks NV DM09dn Washoe County PS: "Equipments" is a valid word in the US Department of Defense dictionary.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 20 watt internal tuner
Note that the internal tuner cannot co-exist with the KPA100 amp. The amp uses the space occupied by the optional battery pack and ATU. Installing the ATU/Battery cover with those accessories makes for a nice, one box, QRP portable rig. It's not a huge issue to swap top covers, changing the K2/100 into a K2/10 or back again. Of course you don't need a heavy power supply for just 10 watts (the rated maximum output from the K2). The difference between 10 watts and 100 watts will be 10 dB (between 1 and 2 S-units at the receiving end). I've never found that to be a problem, but then I'm a QRP guy, Hi! (Note that while some get more than 10 watts from their K2, it is NOT recommended operating voice mode (SSB) at higher power levels to avoid excessive distortion.) The ATU is similar to the other Elecraft ATU's - a high-efficiency L-network with series inductance and shunt capacitance at either the input or load end. One caveat is that the miniature T1 ATU has somewhat restricted matching range on 160 and 80 meters owing to the limited space inside for the inductors required. 73, Ron AC7AC -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of KM6JMR Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2017 3:27 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] K2 20 watt internal tuner I have purchased a K2/100 and was wondering if the 20 watt internal tuner cover is more or less better for field work or field day. -- __ 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

I know that can be set from the menu but the switch is much easier. 73, Peter Op 2017-09-26 16:49 schreef Cameron Francey: I've not got round to doing the diodes on the lines yet to do that autonomously, a job for the next wet Oregon day. __ 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 - Cruise Operation
No experience from cruise ships since I never did one. My wife is diametrically opposed to taking one. Quite a few travellers to Alaska come up by cruise ship. The untold cheap alternative is taking the Alaska Ferry System. Unknown if ham radio is allowed, but I suspect so. Only US and Canadian waters are sailed. Advantage of the Ferry is that you can disembark at any stop and explore with your car as long as you wish and then catch the next Ferry to continue your trip (at no extra cost). Many Alaskans camp on the passenger deck and avoid the extra cabin charge. Ferry has a cafeteria but you are allowed to bring your own food. Cheapest rate is walk-on without a vehicle. I know that several members of the ARRL Experimental 500-KHz Group previously were ship's radio operators or land-base station ops. That results in 600m early activity being CW. FCC limited the modes we were permitted so most digital modes were not legal for us. Subsequent experimental licensee's sought permission to use several digital modes which enabled them to operate with them. We were restricted to only making 2-way contacts with members of our group and not with other licensees (definitely not with ham's). The lead person has instructed the group to cease operating now that ham radio use is permitted. I would guess you will start hearing the active members as hams as soon as they are approved by UTC. I applied the first day. But I still need to repair and rehang my inverted-L and install new synth in my K3 to be operational. When I modified my aircraft beacon (NDB) transmitter I found two xtal oscillators running at about 265-KHz separated by 400-Hz they were keyed by a MCW keyer which shifted the frequency for dots and dashes and back to original frequency for non-keyed signal thus creating 400-Hz MCW. Aircraft radios are primarily AM so could receive MCW. 73, Ed - KL7UW http://www.kl7uw.com Dubus-NA Business mail: dubus...@gmail.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] SDRPlay as panadapter
Dick, I have both the SDRplay RSP1 and the LP-Pan. I have operated the SDRplay using the K3S Rx Ant output and its IF output. Early comparisons between SRDplay and LP-Pan were invalid due to a plastic case and cheap cables used on the SDRplay - resulting in terrible noise floor and birdies on SDRplay reception. After inserting the SDRplay in a metal case, including an inline FM broadcast filter, and replacing cheap cables, I now find the LP-Pan and SDRplay performance to be nearly identical. Without lab instruments to overcome my subjective comparison, I actually find myself preferring the SDRplay. -larry (K8UT) -Original Message- From: Richard Siegmund Lindzen Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2017 1:18 PM To: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] SDRPlay as panadapter What has been peoples' experience with using SDRPlay with Win4K3 as a panadapter?

Re: [Elecraft] SDRPlay as panadapter
Hi, Max's answer is right on the money. If you never used a panadapter before, any of them will be a fine addition.

Re: [Elecraft] practicing CW on K2 without transmitting?
Another good use for the press and hold of the Mode/VOX button each time I turn my K2 on is it prevents accidental transmission if I bump the key by mistake. (CW only OP so no Mic to deal with so I don't know off hand what effect that has on a mic PTT, but I'm sure a quick look of the manual will answer that) Its a bit like locking your cellphone to prevent accidental number dialing. It also makes a brilliant code practice keyer in this mode and its easy to remember its set as the C for CW mode flashes, I have one of the programmable function keys set to the key input menu item too, that way its really easy to switch from hand key to paddle. I've not got round to doing the diodes on the lines yet to do that autonomously, a job for the next wet Oregon day. I've tried a number of different radios over time, and after building my K2/100 with options and a KAT100 and also my K2/10 loaded with options these are the radios for me and it's all I use and need now.
