Re: [Elecraft] CODEC UPDATE & CLOSE

[Neil Zampella]

Mike,

I had heard anecdotal stories about Xfinity modems and ethernet 
connections to non-computer equipment.  I actually had one customer who 
had the problem, I took a spare Linksys router, and connected it between 
the Xfinity modem, and the equipment, and that fixed the issue for my 
customer.    I basically turned off the Xfinity WiFi, installed a top of 
the line Linksys AC-1900 router, and all the ethernet, and wireless 
connections go through that, and he's not seen the issue since.


As usual YMMV ... :)

still jumping out of range.  When seeing that I decided to check the 
analog audio again and couldnt believe it is jumping also.  Something 
has gone off the rails in the computer arena.


I disconnected everything from the machine today and found that 
anytime I have the Ethernet cable to the computer from the Xfinity 
router/modem  connected the Rates start jumping  randomly and 
sometimes out of range.  I changed the ethernet cable but not help.  
Just for drill I put some torrids on each end with no change.    I am 
thinking of seeing if Xfinity will swap out the router/modem.  The 
numbers do not necessarily jump when there is traffic on the ethernet 
rx or tx so not sure how that is causing the audio Rates to jump.   I 
have no other clues right now but guess this case can be closed on the 
Elecraft reflector as this has nothing to do with the K3S.    Thanks 
to all those that emailed me..  73 Mike K4PI

Jim,

I use PTT with both my K2 and my KX3, its just one additional USB

does audio for both.

If you WANT to use PTT, be my guest, but you're adding un-necessary

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 power aupply fan

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Rick and everyone - There should be NO fans running in the power supply after 
turning off the RF deck from its front panel.

Are you sure the RF deck front panel is OFF? (No lights on the RF deck FP)

The PS fan runs from the same supply that supplies the 50 V to the amp. That 
supply is definitely turned off when the RF deck front panel is off, which also 
kills the PS fans. The fans have absolutely nothing to do with the 12 VDC supply 
going to the RF deck.


In any case, no not modify how voltage is supplied to the RF deck, as this will 
not fix anything and will definitely void the Warranty.


If you are not able to resolve this issue contact our team at 
supp...@elecraft.com or via the phone and we'll help you figure out what is 
happening.


My only thought is that there could be a short in the control cable between the 
amp RF deck and PS that is keeping the 50V supply and fans on in the PS. (Or on 
one of the connectors in the RF deck or PS.) Our support team will help you 
debug whatever is happening if its a hw issue..

K2XT here.  Greetings,
We are installing K8DM's brand new KPA1500 here at my qth today replacing a 
KPA500.
He runs the station remotely from VA; my QTH is in NJ.
(I host the station for him).

So, it is powered up and running.  When not in use it appears as if (according 
to the manual) it needs to generate a small voltage/current to the rf deck to 
allow it to function.  No problem, that makes sense.
The problem is, there is a fan running in the power supply, and it is annoying! 
 The remote station is in a spare bedroom and visiting guests will have to 
endure this noise.  Plus, I'd like the equipment to go off when it is turned 
off.  I don't want a fan running 24/365.  Does the PS really generate that much 
heat that it needs a fan?

This is not acceptable.  Wayne, surely you didn't design it this way.  Surely 
there is an option we set somewhere to disable the fan.

What say, anyone?

[Elecraft] K-Pod CTS to match VFO-What say you Wayne?

[Art via Elecraft]

Wayne,


Is this feature request something we can anticipate seeing before the end of 
the year? I've had several other replies off reflector asking for it as well.


As it stands now, IF I set the tuning rate for the VFO A to be what I want, the 
K-pod lags behind at half the rate so I can only use the K-pod as an RIT 
enhancement.  IF I set the tuning rate for the K-pod to perform as a VFO, then 
by touching the main tuning know  I QSY at a ridiculous rate. 


Inquiring minds want to know.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 power supply fan

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Rick,

You can do it that way, but be advised that a Y-BOX can also support remote
power up of the amp. using a K3 macro, so no 12V supply or remotely
controlled IP switch is needed.

See https://www.kkn.net/~n6tv/Y-BOX/Features.html#Remote .

If you're driving the KPA1500 with a non-Elecraft transceiver, one that
doesn't have a convenient 12V output, an RTS pin toggle on a serial port
can also be used to power up the amp.

See https://www.kkn.net/~n6tv/S-BOX/Features.html#RemoteHams

(This shows a K3, but for non-Elecraft transceivers, the AUX cable would be
connected to the KPA1500 instead of to the K3).

73,
Bob, N6TV

Re: [Elecraft] No Communication with USB Port on KPA-1500

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Connecting the USB cable to the KPA1500 creates its own FTDI virtual COM
port.

Did you look in the Windows Device Manager to see if the virtual COM port
number changed?  When you disconnect and reconnect the USB cable from the
amplifier, you should see the amp's COM port disappear and reappear in the
Device Manager, under "Ports."

Of course make sure you are connecting the cable to the square USB-B
connector at the top of the KPA1500, not the Ethernet port right below it,
which is easy to do by mistake if you can't see the back of the amplifier.

If no serial port appears, it's possible the amplifier's USB port has been
damaged, perhaps by a nearby lightning strike.  It's also possible that a
Prolific device driver is present and interfering with the proper operation
of the FTDI driver, in which case the Prolific driver should be uninstalled.

You may still be able to communicate with your KPA1500 by using the
amplifier's hardware serial port.  Assuming you have firmware 1.64 or
later, in the KPA1500 menu.

   1. TECH MODE -> ENABLE
   2. XCVR SERIAL HOST -> ENABLE
   3. XCVR SERIAL SPEED 38400
   4. Connect KX3SER, KXUSB or S-BOX  between a PC
   serial port or USB connector and the XCVR SERIAL port (3.5mm TRS) on the
   KPA1500.  This is the connector right underneath the Ethernet connector.
   5. Using a terminal Program like PuTTY, configure a SERIAL connection at
   38400,N,8,1, Local Echo ON
   -or-
   Try connecting the K3 Utility to the new serial port
   6. Enter a command like ^CC; to see if the amplifier responds with the
   current date and time.

However, you won't be able to upload new firmware this way, or power up the
amp. with the Utility.  Be sure to set XCVR SERIAL HOST back to DISABLE
when you are finished with the test.

Bob, N6TV

Re: [Elecraft] Worldwide Transceiver Survey

[Charlie T]

You know, I'll bet the reason Icom is #1 in this survey is just possibly,
I'm going out on a limb here, they got more votes.

Along the same lines, did you ever notice that a "V" of migrating geese has
one leg longer than the other?
Ever wonder why?

It's because there's more geese in the longer leg..

Re: [Elecraft] CODEC

[Dave B via Elecraft]

You could always create something in Python, to have the computer read
and save the current rig settings you will alter, then invoke whatever
digimode software you use, then restore those radio settings to "normal"
after you've done.

There's lots of info out there regarding how to use serial ports etc
from within Python.  For rigs with a LAN port, it's even easier!  That,
and the excellent Elecraft user/programming manual are all you need,
other than time.

Python is an easy language to learn, OK, so not as simple as "Basic",
but simple enough for first timers, and capable enough for more
experienced types.

Works in Windows and Linux (including the Pi of course) and probably on
Mac's too.   There are a host of developer tools out there, but a good
cross platform editor that is Python (and other language) syntax aware
editor, is "Geany".   Very good.

Regards.

Dave G0WBX.
