[Elecraft] Using "streamer" with K3 (re-sent)

[Victor Rosenthal]

Sorry for reposting over and over. For some reason I keep getting html 
instead of plain text. This time it should work.



I am officially a serious geezer with hearing aids now. However, I am 
having a problem getting a "streamer" device working with my K3. 
Supposedly it can be connected to the headphone output and it will 
transmit audio via Bluetooth directly to my hearing aids. It works fine 
when I plug it into my computer's phone jack, but when I connect it to 
the K3 -- either the front or rear phone jacks or the speaker jack or 
even the Line Out connector -- the audio is very weak and distorted.


The device is a Resound Streamer II. Has anyone used this or something 
similar successfully? More to the point, any idea why it doesn't work?

[Elecraft] P3 help needed

[eric norris via Elecraft]

I disconnected my P3 #24x from K3 #2545, and connected it to K3S #11xxx, using 
a bnc cable, and the elecraft cable that goes from the TRANSCEIVER jack on the 
p3, to the ethernet jack on the  K3S.  All firmware is the latest.  The K3S is 
connected to the PC via the K3S USB port.
The P3 worked fine with the K3.
Now, with the K3 S, it is showing the frequency of signals LOW, outside the 
green passband.even.  It won't show where VFO B is anymore, and when I set mrkr 
a or mrkr b, they are also off frequency.
What am I doing wrong?
Please reply direct--I'm in Digest mode, and need to fix this ASAP.
THANK YOU ES
73 Eric WD6DBM

Re: [Elecraft] Troublesome Macro #1 (First in a series)

[Byron Peebles]

I did start without delays and I extend them and remove them in various 
tests.


With this style of Macro, it is possible to monitor for activity without 
running WSJT, and the approach works for other modes, too.  At this 
point I think I might move to dedicated band buttons and then set the 
P3/SVGA.  I have 64 keys on the keypad.


Thanks for your comments.  73, Byron

Is it so hard to start wsjt-x and select the 6M frequency in the drop- down

And with the full spectrogram from wsjt-x , I don’t pay much attention to the 
O3.

Re: [Elecraft] Troublesome Macro #1 (First in a series)

[Byron Peebles]

I inserted the DElays as an example.  It feels like the Band change 
isn't registered with the P3 properly, but I'm perplexed at how the P3 
internal display and the SVGA external display would show different 
center frequencies, and why the P3 is correct for a moment and switches 
back.


Thanks for your suggestion.  I've checked the syntax and it works if you 
are on the band.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 with K3 Remote question

[K8TE]

When the clutch failed at a Spec Miata race at Miller Motorsports Park UT, I
used this method to start, run, and complete the race.  My lap tap dropped
about two seconds, but I still placed in the middle of the pack.  The clutch
didn't suffer nor would I expect the KPA1500 to suffer using this method.

73, Bill, K8TE


Yes true and the KPA500 has a like menu to power up in Operate mode.   
At the same time, I think bringing a station up in Operate mode is much 
like starting a car in gear.  Oh by the way, older cars and trucks with 
manual transmissions, column or floor shift,  could be started in gear.  
Not usually with good outcomes either.

Bob, K4TAX

Re: [Elecraft] Adapter for use between iPhone headset and a KX2/KX3

[Walter Underwood]

There are two different ways that phone mic/earbuds are wired to a TRRS plug. 
All Apple products should be wired the same way. The two standards are AHJ/CTIA 
and OMTP. Most modern phones use the AHJ/CTIA spec. See: 
https://help.longtailproducts.com/hc/en-us/articles/207970396-Smartphone-Headset-Standards-Apple-iPhone-AHJ-CTIA-OMTP

A clever way to adjust compression is to use the two voice memories and play 
back different settings to compare them. Turn the power down to zero first! 
That was a suggestion from Lyle, KK7P.

Also, it is probably best to set TX EQ before setting compression, because the 
frequency content of your voice will probably interact with the compressor.

I compiled audio setup steps gleaned from this list in a blog post.

[Elecraft] Troublesome Macro #1 (First in a series)

[Byron Peebles]

I am having trouble with the following Macro on a K3S and P3/SVGA.

BN10;DE500;MD6;DE100;FA00050313000;DE100;#CTF+00050315000;DE100;#SPN43;DE100;

The delays are just there to slow things down, right?  No impact otherwise.

What happens is the Macro executes, but when it completes, the P3/SVGA 
switches the Center Frequency back to the previous band and the band the 
radio is on is correct but the SVGA display differs from the P3 itself 
by quite a bit.  For specifics, I test the Macro by switching to 28MHz 
band.  After execution, the P3 shows the 28MHz center frequency but the 
SVGA shows 74Mhz, or thereabouts.  - If I change the SPN, the center 
frequency varies. Suspicious.


What I am trying to accomplish is this:

Change bands(6m), Set Mode(Data), Set VFO-A Frequency (50313), Set P3 
Center (50315) and P3 Span (4.3)


The idea is to have the audio bandwidth of FT-8 on the SVGA display (in 
this example).


What obvious mistake am I missing and forgetting?  Thank you.

73, Byron

Note the results are the same whether in a Macro button or some the test 
command line. The results are fine when the command is broken up.  I do 
know about delays in command execution, especially band changes, and it 
does work better when you are already on the band.

[Elecraft] WTB: Nice KX3

[Scott Manthe]

Hi everyone!

Having lost out on two KX3s I'd thought I'd agreed to purchase in the 
last two days, I decided to try my luck here. I'm looking for a nice 
used KX3. Later serial number would be nice and the tuner, dual passband 
filter and battery charger options would be a plus, but for the right 
price, not necessary. The original box and manuals would also be nice, 
but again, for the right price, not necessary. Not be be blasphemous, 
but I picked up a new Yaesu FT-818 at Dayton, if anyone here is 
interested in some kind of trade. The FT-818 is new and comes with the 
case and an extra high capacity battery from Batteries America, along 
with everything that a new one comes with. Please don't scold me for the 
FT-818, I know what I did was wrong and I'm trying to right that wrong 
now...


Please reply to my email to avoid list clutter and 73 to all!

Just be sure to listen to your signal on another receiver (well attenuated)

Re: [Elecraft] Adapter for use between iPhone headset and a KX2/KX3

[Phil Hystad via Elecraft]

Wayne,

I have yet to use voice (SSB) on my KX3 or KX2 having been so far CW only.  Are 
there any other
audio settings you have set other than those you mention below.  Do you 
recommend speech
compression set to max or was that just a test of audio quality check.  I will 
experiment but it
would be nice to know what starting points and boundaries make sense.

I still have all my iPhone headsets from my original iPhone 1 through my 
current 6s.  Actually,
still have all those iPhones too.  I may test each one to see how they work — 
now, I need to
find them all though.  Just ordered the Y-adapter cable from Amazon.

[Elecraft] Adapter for use between iPhone headset and a KX2/KX3

[Wayne Burdick]

Several KX2/KX3 users have asked what I use as an adapter to go from an iPhone 
headset to the rig’s headphone and mic jacks.

Here it is:

   
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PYZ2BT4/ref=oh_aui_bia_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This unit works beautifully with both my old and new iPhone headsets. The 
combination of the headset and this adapter take a tiny amount of space in my 
go-bag. Audio reports are great, even with speech compression set to max 
(MENU:TX CMP). 

You’ll need to set MENU:MIC BIAS to ON, and I also recommend setting MIC BTN to 
OFF. 

You can tap the XMIT button to start voice-mode transmit, or use VOX. See VOX 
menu entries in the owner’s manual.

Note: There’s a rumor that one legacy version of the iPhone headset was 
different from the others. I don’t have any info on this, but it means there’s 
a slight risk that this $6 adapter won’t work in your case. But it certainly 
works with the earpods I bought a couple of months ago.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 a little deaf?

[Don Wilhelm]

Lenny,

Check the obvious - is the Receive Antenna (RANT) on?
Is transmit power full output?

If both are correct, you will have to go through the Receive Signal 
Tracing in the Troubleshooting Appendix of the manual.
If you have an oscilloscope with a 10X probe, you can use the HP8640B to 
drive the K2 receiver input.  Set the signal generator so you have an 
obviously measurable signal at the BNC jack.  The signal level should 
decrease only slightly through the T/R switch, but will decrease some 
through the BandPass filter.  The preamp will bring it back up as will 
the Post Mixer Amplifier.


If you can achieve enough signal to give you as much 'scope deflection 
as the listed "Expected" values, that will give you some guide for the 
signal levels along the receive path.
I can usually make a judgement about the relative levels as I progress 
through the receiver without consulting the receive chart, but then I 
have had a lot of practice.
Note that with the inclusion of the back to back diodes across the IF 
amplifier, the expected values after that point have changed - if you 
get to that point, you can temporarily remove one end of the diode pair.

Thanks Don,

As you say, I also would expect the signal from the 8640B to be 
clearly audible at -140 dBm on the K2.


I took your advice checked the filter bandwidths. I used the old noise 
source I built when I originally built the K2 ( Tom Hammond design?) 
along with the filter measurement instructions from your web site, and 
the Spectrogram 5.17 program.  No changes were needed. The filters are 
centered on 550 Hz. So that is not causing the MDS problem. It was 
well worth doing to eliminate that as a possible cause.


The reply on the Elecraft reflector from KN5L was helpful for me to 
make more MDS measurements and help me validate the ones I made 
originally. I used the instructions that come with the XG3 manual to 
set up the K2 and calculate the MDS. I used the 8640B as the signal 
source.  The results of those measurements are:


_XFil BW Hz)    MDS (dBm)
_400  -125
700  -123
1500    -121.5

So these results are actually a couple of dB WORSE (at the same 
bandwidth)  than the ones I originally got (e.g. the ones from my 
original email to the reflector a couple of days ago).


Any additional advice you may have would be greatly appreciated. I 
don't know if you have fixed this type of problem before, but if you 
have, maybe I should be mailing it off to you to fix it?


I did a qrp-qrp qso with an F5  last night on 40M, but it was pulling 
teeth to copy him. Another 1 1/2 s-units (or so) of signal would have 
been very welcome!


Please let me know either way.

73 & happy 4th,
--Lenny W2BVH

ps - as for bringing the siggen to the K2  or vice versa, the siggen 
had to be upstairs in the shack for antenna measurements (can't bring 
the antenna connection down to the basement ;-). MDS measurement was 
an afterthought -- which I'm glad I did.





On 7/1/2018 11:55 PM, Don Wilhelm wrote:

Lenny,

Are your IF filters aligned so a 550Hz signal is within the passband.
With the K2, simply setting STP for 550 Hz will not do it, you must 
do CAL FIL to make 550Hz appear well within the receive passband.


A properly tuned K2 will typically have a good response to a -140dBm 
signal from the HP8640B.


It is easier to take the K2 to the signal generator than to lug that 
heavy signal generator to the hamshack!

Yesterday I did an informal test. K2 set for cw, 1.5 KHz bandwidth, 
14.05 MHz, AGC on, preamp off. Attached siggen, tuned the K2 to 550 
Hz tone and cranked down the siggen amplitude until the signal and 
noise were about equal, "by ear". Siggen output was -130 dBm. This 
was enough to cause me to look further.

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] QSO of the week (and a re-learned QRP SSB tip

[Fred Jensen]

Which of course makes /M ["I'm on wheels"] and /MM ["I'm afloat"] 
non-compliant, all the M's belong to the UK. Attention pilots:  /AM 
["I'm aloft"] is also non-compliant since AM belongs to Spain.  /R ["I'm 
a repeater], /B ["I'm a beacon"], and /PM ["I'm walkin and talkin"] are 
too, all the R's are Russian, the B's Chinese, and PM belongs to 
Indonesia.  /P is probably compliant since the P's are split between 
multiple countries and always have a second number/letter.  No prefixes 
start with Q so /QRP is compliant.  So is /QSD ["I can't send for 
beans"].  Interesting that the SOTA folk never [almost] use /QRP or 
/.  I guess the assumption is that if you've carried your 
station up a mountain and call CQ SOTA, odds are high you're in the 
field and likely did not drag a generator along.  I don't believe anyone 
has done time in the "Gated Community for the Ethically Challenged" for 
violations of this however.


Personally, I don't care what indicators you use as long as I can find 
your call in there somewhere.

station, including a special event station, may include with its

must be included before, after, or both before and after, the assigned 
call sign (example "KP2/W1AW/contest"). No self-assigned indicator may 
conflict with any other indicator specified by the FCC Rules (such as 
"AA", "AG", "AE" or "KT") or with any prefix assigned to another

[Elecraft] [KX3] QSO of the week (and a re-learned QRP SSB tip

[ANDY DURBIN]

"How about "stroke 7" or "slant 7"?"


I verbalize k3wyc/7 as k3wyc slant seven. What I'm asking is - why don't 
stations who are actually operating portable use "slant papa"? I'm suggesting 
that the reason may be that "portable" is so extensively misused.

Yes, one never knows for sure until one makes contact and asks.  If

[Elecraft] KX3 controlling K3s over Remote....

[Gerry Hull]

I want to use my KX3 to control K3s while traveling.

Rather than buying another control cable, I have lots of parts around...

Will the KX3 work with 3.3v or 5v Serial signals?

If not, I presume I can run KX3-> COM2 control port on RRC (12v levels),
thus controlling the
remote K3.

   If you decide to use the ‘sun blocker’ screen material, remember it has 
adhesive
on one side and comes in different shades. The are a bunch of good ‘how-to’ 
videos
for application methods.  I used a sheet of it ( same as used on windshields) 
on my
shack window to keep the summer heat temps down and it is noticeably cooler.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 a little deaf?

[w2bvh]

Thanks Don,

As you say, I also would expect the signal from the 8640B to be clearly 
audible at -140 dBm on the K2.


I took your advice checked the filter bandwidths. I used the old noise 
source I built when I originally built the K2 ( Tom Hammond design?) 
along with the filter measurement instructions from your web site, and 
the Spectrogram 5.17 program.  No changes were needed. The filters are 
centered on 550 Hz. So that is not causing the MDS problem. It was well 
worth doing to eliminate that as a possible cause.


The reply on the Elecraft reflector from KN5L was helpful for me to make 
more MDS measurements and help me validate the ones I made originally. I 
used the instructions that come with the XG3 manual to set up the K2 and 
calculate the MDS. I used the 8640B as the signal source.  The results 
of those measurements are:


_XFil BW Hz)    MDS (dBm)
_400  -125
700  -123
1500    -121.5

So these results are actually a couple of dB WORSE (at the same 
bandwidth)  than the ones I originally got (e.g. the ones from my 
original email to the reflector a couple of days ago).


Any additional advice you may have would be greatly appreciated. I don't 
know if you have fixed this type of problem before, but if you have, 
maybe I should be mailing it off to you to fix it?


I did a qrp-qrp qso with an F5  last night on 40M, but it was pulling 
teeth to copy him. Another 1 1/2 s-units (or so) of signal would have 
been very welcome!


Please let me know either way.

73 & happy 4th,
--Lenny W2BVH

ps - as for bringing the siggen to the K2  or vice versa, the siggen had 
to be upstairs in the shack for antenna measurements (can't bring the 
antenna connection down to the basement ;-).  MDS measurement was an 
afterthought -- which I'm glad I did.

Lenny,

Are your IF filters aligned so a 550Hz signal is within the passband.
With the K2, simply setting STP for 550 Hz will not do it, you must do 
CAL FIL to make 550Hz appear well within the receive passband.


A properly tuned K2 will typically have a good response to a -140dBm 
signal from the HP8640B.


It is easier to take the K2 to the signal generator than to lug that 
heavy signal generator to the hamshack!

I dragged my HP8640B out of the "lab" (basement) to the second floor

this 50 lb instrument back down two flights of stairs I decided to do 
a quick MDS measurement on my K2 and got some results I'm a little 
concerned about.


Yesterday I did an informal test. K2 set for cw, 1.5 KHz bandwidth, 
14.05 MHz, AGC on, preamp off. Attached siggen, tuned the K2 to 550 
Hz tone and cranked down the siggen amplitude until the signal and 
noise were about equal, "by ear". Siggen output was -130 dBm. This 
was enough to cause me to look further.

[Elecraft] [KX3] QSO of the week (and a re-learned QRP SSB tip

[ANDY DURBIN]

"/QRP often, but not always, indicates a field operation, and they're sort of 
fun to work, at least for me."


And sometimes it means someone running 5 W to a 6 ele Yagi at 75 ft! That 
station has far higher ERP that I do running 100 W with my modest antennas.


If I was portable in UK, where had my first licence, my call was g3wyc/p. US 
operators have completely butchered and obfuscated the meaning of portable by 
verbalizing k3wyc/7 as "k3wyc portable 7". The /7 suffix does not mean I am 
portable. It just means I'm operating in region 7 and I'm saying so because it 
is required for the contest in which I'm operating.


If you want special attention because you are portable why not indicate 
portable rather than QRP?


73,

Andy k3wyc

[Elecraft] Latency of K3S versus K3 and KX3 Macro Execution

[Byron Peebles]

Is it safe to assume the command latency estimates for the K3S and P3 
are the same as what is in the K3 Macro Programming manual for the K3 
and KX3?  (The numbers there are typical 10ms, typical max of 100ms, and 
band change of 500ms.)


Thank you.  73, Byropn

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 with K3 Remote question

[GWK]

And, BTW, this was the only way to get home after the clutch bracket 
failed and left you connected.  You could start in 1st gear, and with 
care, do your shifting without the clutch.  I'm sure most of us old 
timers remember doing that upon occasion!

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 with K3 Remote question

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

I agree as I like to check antennas before operating.  Less smoke comes out of 
the boxes that way.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 with K3 Remote question

[Wes Stewart]

If it's like a KPA500, you can have it go to Operate when powered on.  Menu "PWR 
ON = OPER"


Caveat, I don't use the K3 to turn on the amp.  Separate operation.

There's a menu item on the KPA1500 to make it come up in operate mode.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Display (Was K2 display)

[Nr4c]

Why keep asking the same question?

The answer is always “No”. 

There’s an old saying about asking a question over and over and expecting a

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Digest, Vol 171, Issue 2

[Dave B via Elecraft]

Hi.

Personally, I think what might be needed is some co-ordination on the
lower VHF bands, to initiate something like the HF IBP system, where one
frequency is used in turn by a collection of beacons.  (Multiple
frequencies could still be used, but accommodating multiple beacons per
frequency.)

Using a Next Generation Beacon mode, you get not only human readable CW,
but machine readable modes so you can leave a PC monitoring to build an
appreciation of propagation to/from your location.

See:      http://www.ncdxf.org/pages/beacons.html
     http://www.ncdxf.org/beacon/beaconschedule.html

Also, for other idea's:
            http://www.rudius.net/oz2m/ngnb/index.htm
and:     http://www.gb3vhf.co.uk/GB3VHFReceiving.html

for some examples.

No affiliation, just idea's, to perhaps avoid many beacons all QRM'ing
each other.

Dave G0WBX.

Re: [Elecraft] K1 Band Boards

[Mike Morrow]

Dave speculated about the KFL1-2 filter board:

Yes, plus the two heterodyne crystals.

Plus the two heterodyne oscillator crystals.

All the winding info is in the instructions for the KFL1-2, found on the 
Elecraft site at:

 http://www.elecraft.com/manual/E740020%20KFL1-2%20instr%20Rev%20I.pdf

There were a lot of surplus 40/20m filter boards after the KFL1-4 came out in 
2001.  Perhaps someone has one for sale, to have 20m parts replaced with 80m 
parts.  There was also an RFC and capacitor that had to be added on the K1 RF 
board for 80m operation.

FWIW, somewhat bizarrely, links to documents for the KFL1-4 four-band filter 
board are missing from the Manuals and Downloads page of the Elecraft site.  
Now the two needed files must be selected from this link:

 http://www.elecraft.com/manual/?C=M;O=D

or reached directly from these two links:
 
 http://www.elecraft.com/manual/KFL1_4_man_rev_A.pdf
 http://www.elecraft.com/manual/KFL1-4%20Errata%20Rev%20A-4.pdf

It seems to me it would be better to have all this info still available 
directly at the Manuals and Downloads page for the K1.

Re: [Elecraft] Mail List Procedure Question

[David Woolley]

I'm replying to this from the digest!

There are two ways of taking the digest.  With good mail programs, the 
best way is the MIME digest format.  Although the details may vary, good 
mail programs will allow you to decompose the digest.  In the case of 
Thunderbird/Iceweasel, it displays the concatenated messages, with 
specially formatted header lines, and provides access to the individual 
messages as though they were attachments.


There is a minor bug in that, when replying to a reply, Thunderbird adds 
an extra "Re:", but that is easily fixed.


Doing it this way, rather than just editing out the rest of the digest, 
has the added advantage that a correct In-Reply-To header is sent, that 
can help threading readers.


(What  I really hate is where people ignore the warning at the top of 
the digest, and simply copy the whole digest, or that part after the 
message to which they are responding.  That cuts short the next digest 
and also forces one to plough through lots of old postings, possibly to 
find that the culprit has overflowed the digest size limit and there are 
no more real items in the digest.)
