Re: [Elecraft] WSJT-X Disabling TX INHIBIT on K3S
Tom, I was told that. All I can say is that there is no delay from the K3S when I transmit on WSJT-X. I increased the delay to .3 seconds under ADVANCED in WSJT-X settings and the problem is solved. 73, John WA!EAZ > On Nov 13, 2018, at 11:12 PM, Tom wrote: > > Hi, > WSJT-X does not touch TX Inhibit. > The only command that WSJT-X sends is a TX; command to enter transmit mode or > it asserts DTR or RTS.

[Elecraft] Bluetooth Headphones for CW
Good morning all, Skip to the last paragraph to get the question. I operate almost exclusively on CW with a KX3 and K2 that I built in 2004. I have the audio from two computers and both radios run to a small Xenyx 502 mixer , then to a small stereo amp and a nice pair of speakers. I seldom use the speakers and I run a couple of pairs of corded headphones from the mixer. I often run afoul of the headphone cord. It gets tangled in the arm of my chair, etc... I would love to have wireless, noise cancelling headphones. However, this would involve putting a bluetooth (or other wireless) transmitter on the mixer output, compatible with whichever model of headphones I buy. The big issue (as far as I can understand it) is Latency. The CW sidetone must not be delayed. I have googled latency specs and found some pretty good data for headphones. I found at least one pair of headphones that measures 40ms latency, a number that would probably work. However, that doesn't include the latency induced by the transmitter. Is anyone using a transmitter/headphone combination for CW that works? If so, please share your setup details. Thanks.

Re: [Elecraft] Possible K3s TX failure - distorted audio
Well here we are two weeks later. The radio's been sitting in the repair queue since Nov. 1st and hasn't even been looked at yet according to the phone call I just placed.

Re: [Elecraft] Possible K3s TX failure - distorted audio
The current stated turnaround time for Elecraft repairs is 3 to 4 weeks. Given the staff techs with experience, that is the best that they can do. Oh, yes, "hire more techs" can be said, but that takes time away from those techs now working on repairs for training of new people, so initially the backlog increases until the new techs come on board. Not an easy problem to solve for a small company. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/14/2018 7:26 PM, marvwhee...@nwlink.com wrote: I think it is possible that those who are happy with Elecraft legendary support are the same people that have realistic expectations.

Re: [Elecraft] Possible K3s TX failure - distorted audio
Pete et al: I purchased my K3S 100-F in August of 2015. I experienced a failure in the form of distorted SSB audio in April 2018. Working with the techs at Elecraft they suggested and supplied a new KPA3A. That unit was received and installed and failed within a week. They then suggested the radio be returned for repair. It was shipped to Elecraft on May 8, 2018 and received at Elecraft on May 10, 2018. I shipped by USPS Priority Mail. It was repaired, updated and completely aligned and shipped to me on May 31, 2018. At the time I obtained my RA, the repair time was given as 15 to 20 working days. The radio was received by me on June 7, 2018 as it was shipped via UPS Ground. That overall project covers a span of 30 days or so. All seemed reasonable to me considering repair time and shipping time both ways. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 11/14/2018 4:13 PM, Peter Dougherty (W2IRT) wrote: Well here we are two weeks later.

Re: [Elecraft] Possible K3s TX failure - distorted audio
The biggest repair queue delay we get this time of year is when we receive an unexpected block of lightning damaged radios. That usually adds a couple of weeks to the repair queue. (We can easily determine where the lightning activity is around the country from the return addresses..) Don't forget to disconnect ALL cables from your radios, amps etc when lightning is near. We frequently see damage when the cables between the radio and computer are left connected. Nearby lightning strikes have a way of finding ground via almost any odd path. 73, Eric /elecraft.com/ On 11/14/2018 4:38 PM, Don Wilhelm wrote: The current stated turnaround time for Elecraft repairs is 3 to 4 weeks.

Re: [Elecraft] Possible K3s TX failure - distorted audio
Seems about right. My K3 arrived in Watsonville on Oct 1, and was shipped back exactly 30 days later. That said, it was the first time my nearly 10-year-old K3 had been back to the factory and the first actual problem of any kind I’d had with it. At the same time, they installed the front panel board gold pins (which may have been the actual cause of the problem I was having), put a mod in the KPA3, added a bracket, aligned it, and checked it. I’d been sitting on a set of those gold pins for quite a while in my “when I get a Round To-It” box of parts, and it’s probably too bad I hadn’t taken the time to put them in before some oxidation caused a problem. At least it’s done now, and I know my radio still meets or exceeds specs. 30 days was a small price to pay … even though it was a lonely time :-) Grant NQ5T K3 #2091 KX3 #8342 >> >> >> >> The current stated turnaround time for Elecraft repairs is 3 to 4 weeks. >> 73, >> Don W3FPR __ 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
