Re: [Elecraft] K2: A couple of minor issues

[Jim KO5V]

Thanks Phil. Maybe I'm just a bit deaf (but I don't think the rig is!). 
Usually, if the other guy isn't 59+, I have to have the AF Gain pot at between 
2 and 3 o-clock. With the amplified speaker, the setting is similar to yours. 
The rig is on a flat table top, in the middle of a room and away from a wall, 
so maybe that's part of the problem too.

Most of the time the AUDIO gain pot is at the 10-o-clock position.  YMMV.

Re: [Elecraft] K2: A couple of minor issues

[Jim KO5V]

Thanks again Don. I'm perfectly happy to accept that the MCU "just does that".

Thanks for additional the info on the filters. I'll try what you suggest, and 
report back.

The amplified speaker is a fine solution for me. I figured the K2's audio amp 
wasn't designed to be powerful - I just wanted to hear someone say it.

Re: [Elecraft] K2: A couple of minor issues

[Don Wilhelm]

Jim,

The K2 will sometimes display the Power or Speed when the VFO is turned. 
 It does not happen frequently, but does show up when the MCU is busy 
doing "its" thing.  It only comes on for an instant and only 
occasionally.  So conclude that "it just does that" and ignore it, there 
is nothing wrong.


As for the high frequency hiss on SSB filters FL2 to FL4, look carefully 
at the width of those filters using Spectrogram.  Adjust the filter 
width of FL2 to be about 200 Hz less than FL1, FL3 200 Hz less than FL2, 
etc.


For many K2s, the filter width displayed by the K2 is much greater than 
the displayed width.


Set the filter widths using LSB mode - first set the low frequency end 
of the filter between 300 and 500 Hz.  Then reference the high frequency 
end of FL1 (the OP1 filter).  Place a Spectrogram marker 200 Hz below 
the high frequency end of FL1 (the frequency of the cursor is displayed 
in the panels at the bottom of the Spectrogram display).  Adjust FL2 
high frequency end to place the "corner" at the marker.  Set a marker 
200 Hz lower and do the same with FL3 - similar for FL4.


Now, switch to USB and adjust the BFO settings to place the filter 
passbands properly (low frequency end between 300 and 500 Hz).


That should produce good filters without as much high frequency hiss.

The K2 audio amplifier is by design "wimpy" to reduce current draw for 
those operating portable on batteries.  An amplified speaker should be 
able to make up for that low audio.

Don W3FPR

Re: [Elecraft] Duty on warranty repairs

[Michael Walker]

What has worked for me is make sure that Elecraft tags it as:

"Amateur Radio being returned from Warranty Repairs".

The tricky part is if they insure it for full value.  CRA sometimes sees
that as a value and will charge you HST on it.  Also, make sure you use
USPS to reduce brokerage fees.

Re: [Elecraft] Duty on warranty repairs

[Don Wilhelm]

Mike,

I am not in Canada, but I have done warranty repairs here in the US for 
Canadian customers in the past.  As far as I know, no duty or HST was 
charged to the recipient.


The only time I got a report of charges was when a Canadian ham bought a 
K2 from a ham in the US, and that seller shipped direct to me for 
checkover, alignment and calibration.  The buyer reported that he was 
asked to pay customs fees.  My guess is that he should have because that 
was the first time the radio had entered Canada.


Just my experience from this side of the border.  Other Canadian hams 
may have something different to say.


One thing I can say is that you should ship via the postal system rather 
than UPS or FedEX.  Both those charge a "brokerage fee" which may be 
substantial.  Elecraft will have to charge you for any brokerage fees 
that may be encountered.

Don W3FPR

Re: [Elecraft] Duty on warranty repairs

There are ways to do this but it involves all parties being on the same page 
and paperwork. 
I always found it easier to drive to the border and register equipment with 
Canadian customs then drive to buffalo or niagra falls and ship from ups or 
whomever. I then have it shipped back for counter pickup and drive back with 
the customs documentation previously created. I have done that many times with 
thousands of dollars worth of equipment.

I was not charged any duties or taxes because it was an RMA and clearly

Re: [Elecraft] Best Mac to use with KX3

[Don Wilhelm]

Kiichiro-san,

John is correct.  Band boundaries are not field programmable.  You may 
have to ship the K3 to Watsonville, CA to have the 60 meter band limited 
to non-transmit.
There is a chance that it can be done by Elecraft's distributor in 
Japan, but I don't know that for certain.


Send email to supp...@elecraft.com for assistance.

If this is a K3 that you bought from another ham, I would net expect 60 
meters to be disabled unless that ham is also located in Japan.  That 
serial number indicates that it was produced before the introduction of 
the K3S.

Hello,

I am Kiichiro Onishi, JH3SIF, having K3 with SN 07902.

I hoped my K3 had been shipped with 60m transmission disabled since my KX3 was 
shipped with 60m transmission disabled and your signed certification indicating 
the disablement.
As you may know, hams operating in JA are not allowed to transmit on 60m and 
all TX/TRX MUST not be capable to transmit on the band,
So, my K3 MUST have 60m transmission capability disabled so that I can have 
regal permission to operate my K3 in JA.
Can you help me to disable the 60m transmission?

I'm trying to find a good new or used Macbook or Mac mini to begin using with 
my KX3. I had used a PC with ASUS Xonar U7 and/or Signalink USB. What will I 
need to keep, drop or use in a different way to get a Mac unit working with my 
KX3? I'm especially interested in digital signals. Who here knows what works 
best.

Re: [Elecraft] Feeler: TS-590S trade for K3/100

[bill]

Don't need the 590, but I am going to be selling mine when I can get to 
the barn to get the boxes. It is fairly simple. Will come with a P3 and 
the add-ons for 2 antennas and for using VGA. Kpod (VFO) and Genovation 
also. On a day when I feel good and get a weather break I'll get the 
boxes and set a price.
