Re: [Elecraft] MICROHAM USB III INTERFACE WITH K3 UTILITY DOES NOT WORK
Have you installed microHAM USB Device Router in the Windows Virtual Machine? Router installs both the FTDI (hardware) driver and the Eltima VSPAX (software) driver.

The VSPAX is responsible for creating the virtual COM port (as well as mapping rig control/CAT to one virtual port, and PTT, CW/FSK to a different virtual port if needed). 73, ...

[Elecraft] LowPro CS-60 case
My CS-60 case arrived yesterday. Just put the KX2 in the case and it is a GREAT fit!! Lots of room for paddles, earbuds/headphones, wire antenna. The nice thing is that the entire station (in a baggie) will slide gently into my small backpack and it will be very well protected between the padded LowPro case and the padding on the backpack. Now all I need is a summit! The bottom end of the A-Trail is just north of where we live, so in addition to attending a Cowboy Action match in the upcoming weeks, I can waddle up to a summit and give this SOTA thing a try! God Bless the brain trust at Elecraft for turning out such an astounding product! Flashback to the late 1950s and the TV show: Captain Midnight and the Secret Squadron..He had a tiny HT (probably UHF FM) and I use to dream of being able to talk all over the world with a tiny radio! Dream's come true!! Only my KX2 does a whole lot more! Vy 73 es gud DX!

Re: [Elecraft] UHF connectors [was: Array Solutions Lightning Arrestor]
Hi, Okay, I thought your measurements were like S21 and could be considered a transmission (thru) loss. The other measurements I referred to were -- in other words, I don't believe they were measurements of 'mismatch loss'. The Times Microwave loss figure was definitely a transmission loss. I think it's clear that UHF connectors, at HF, are virtually lossless.

[Elecraft] WTB: K3 for neighbor SWL - damaged TX preferred
My neighbor is a SWL and when I'm on the radio it pretty much crushes his little table top RX. As a way to preserve neighboorhood harmony, I'm looking for a radio with a tough front end that would alievate his problem to an extent. So I was thinking a great solution would be an old K3 that works OK on RX but has an inoperative TX. I guess the ideal config would be the AM filter, general coverage RX and a broken TX section. If you have something like that on your shelf and it needs a new home, please contact me directly (off the reflector). 73/jeff/ac0c alpha-charlie-zero-charlie www.ac0c.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
[Elecraft] MICROHAM USB III INTERFACE WITH K3 UTILITY DOES NOT WORK
I am still trying to get a K3 talking. I have a connection through a Microham USB III Interface box that connects the K3 RS232 port to my PC running Win 7 64 Pro. The path is from the K3 to the Microham III USB interface, then there is a straight USB connection from the Microham to the PC. I have downloaded the K3 Utility and tried to see if it will establish connection with the PC but it will not. COM port 1 is used. The K3 setting is currently at 38400 baud but I also tried setting the K3 baud rate at 4800 and doing a power on/off but with the same results. I see the K3 utility screen on the PC step through the various baud rates but it will not sync up to the K3. The PC recognizes the Microham USB interface when looking at the Win 7 Device Manager but it indicates there is no device driver. I don¹t always trust what the PC says though. Can someone point me to a device driver I can download and install. My K3 FW is Rev 5.38. 73¹s Greg Greg Best P.E. 16100 Outlook Avenue Stilwell, KS 66085 816-792-2913 __ 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] KX3 and WSJT-X Setup
Aaron, What you fail to tell is: What hardware does your Linux Mint 18.3 run on? What I don't know and cannot test is what USB device code is produced by the SignaLink. Normally a sound card is recognised by the linux kernel but in some cases it isn't Try to open a terminal screen (Ctrl-Alt+T) and type: lsusb That will list the available USB-ports in Linux and any asociated device. On the other hand: If the PC is a desktop and has both a line in and headphone out, use these to route audio to and from the KX3. WSJT-X produces an audio tone that is transmitted as a carrier by the KX3 and receives an audio tone from it, hence the dial setting and the use of Upper Sideband. In Mint, audio in and out can be set by right clicking on the speaker-icon and choose audio-settings from the drop down menu. There is no need to set the audio to 48000 Hz in the config. I have never done this and WSJT-X, to me, works as advertised. Even on my Raspberry Pi and an external Creative XFi USB soundcard. Of course YMMV 73, Peter Op 2018-02-14 07:18 schreef Aaron K5ATG: I'm using a Signalink USB.

Re: [Elecraft] FIRST TIME HOOKUP OF N1MM+ TO K3 VIS MICROHAM USB INTERFACE III
Have you followed the instructions in the microHAM USB Interface III Users Manual to set the jumpers for the correct serial signal levels (RS-232 in this case)? After that, look at the configuration example for USB III and N1MM Logger+ which is available in Router (Help | Download Documents) or online in the USB III area at www.microHAM-USA.com/support.html. 73, ...

[Elecraft] FIRST TIME HOOKUP OF N1MM+ TO K3 VIS MICROHAM USB INTERFACE III
The router software should show if the K3 is connected. Make sure that this works before opening the logging software. Like others have said, use 38400 baud. Carefully follow the MicroHAM instructions. John KK9A N6XI wrote: You got good advice on baud rate. Also, it's wise always to confirm proper operation with K3 Utility first.

[Elecraft] KPA-500 Loss of Front Panel LED's
I wonder if anyone has a quick answer to the following problem. Switched on this morning but no LED¹s light up on Front Panel, however the LCD shows correctly with KPA500 and then PWR 0. With a drive applied amplifier shows output on the LCD. Appears to have lost the power to the Front Panel LED¹s only. Grateful for any suggestions to save sending back to suppliers.
