[Elecraft] Bengali adventurer mono key with KX3 mount
I have a Bengali Adventurer Mono key in the original box with a mount for the KX3. It is without mars or blemishes. I have used a bit of electronic cable lacing to secure the cable to the key. It can simply be cut and removed. Also included is the 0.3 mm feeler gage and cleaning cloth. The key is AS NEW. New from Bengali today is $324.68. I am asking $260.00 shipped to your door.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 Early Ver. A Power out problem #2438
Jim, Can I assume this is a newly purchased kit? Or are you building an older one that has been sitting on someone's shelf for a long time with Rev A boards. A serial number would be helpful - above SN 2999 will use Rev B boards. Given that you have 1.4 volts on the base of the PA transistors, you likely have one PA transistor zapped and the other may be weak. Get the K2PAKIT from Elecraft (it contains matched PA transistors). It also has replacements for Q11 and Q13 if needed and a replacement for R50 if yours is not already 1/2 watt. It also contains new PA standoff mounting hardware. First remove the PA transistors. If you do not have good removal tools, clip the leads near the transistor body and remove the leads one at a time. Clean up with solder wick and if solder remains in the holes, heat the solder pad and push it out with a wooden toothpick. Now do a TUNE and measure the voltage at one of the base solder pad. It should be 0.60 to 0.64 volts (0.8 volts is too high) If it is not within that range, replace Q11 and Q13 and reflow the soldering on the components in the bias circuit. Do NOT install Q7 and Q8 until the base bias circuit is working correctly. After those checks (and only after), install Q7 and Q8. Do not transmit without the heat sink installed if you value your new PA transistors. If this is an older Rev A kit, how many turns did you wind on L25 and L26? The older Rev A uses 14 turns which is different than the newer kits. 73, Don W3FPR On 6/13/2019 3:33 PM, Jimithy66 wrote: I finished building a basic kit with no options and the power output will not rise above 2 watts and current (2A) is too high for that power.

Re: [Elecraft] Help with IF Noise, DSP Noise, NR settings
The Noise Blanker only affects repetitive pulse noise such as ignition type noise. Lightning and atmospheric is random noise. As to the Noise Reduction, I find that use of the Attenuation and RF Gain control is far superior to using DSP systems. Also remember it is Noise Reduction and not noise elimination as many seem would like to believe. If one realized 6 dB of noise reduction using the system that's good. At the same time, any noise reduction system will add distortion to a SSB or CW signal. From very authoritative source, the optimum receiver performance configuration is to have the no signal band noise about 10 dB above the noise floor of the receiver. Since we can't change the noise floor of the receiver, the option is to change the incoming level of the noise as presented to the receiver input. The K3S receiver noise floor is about -135 dBM. If one has a no signal band noise of S-5 or -97 dBm, the difference is 38 dB. This says we need 28 dB of Attenuation and RF Gain reduction. That would be 15 dB of Attenuation and about 2 S units of RF Gain reduction or 10 dB of Attenuation and about 3 S units of RF Gain reduction. This in no way changes the sensitivity of the receiver nor does it impede the ability to hear weak signals. Unfortunately many hams belie that more gain is needed to hear weak signals. With receivers of 50+ years ago often the receiver noise exceeded the band noise. That however is not true with today's modern receivers. As to using the Noise Reduction, I do not use it at all for SSB and for CW. If I do use it I find F1 and a value of 1 to 3 about all I'm willing to accept. Of course the type and magnitude of the noise does require different settings. If I use the Noise Blanker I find it necessary to first set the IF NB to OFF. Then adjust the DSP through its values to get what seems to be the best result. Remember the value. Then set the DSP NB to OFF. Then to the IF noise adjustment and find what seems to be the best result. Leave it at that and then back to the DSP Noise blanker and set it to the previous obtained value. This optimized them individually. I've not been successful in trying to adjust both at the same time. And remember it only works on repetitive noise such as ignition noise or line noise and not random atmospheric noise. The receiver gain method works best. Hope this helps. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 6/13/2019 6:43 AM, Nr4c wrote: This is not an easy thing.

[Elecraft] Bodnar GPSDO Power Supply
Dear Gang: I bought a Bodnar GPSDO a while back on the suggestion of KN1CBR, Ted (get well soon!) and it has worked great for use with the K3 XREF option. Though you can run it on 12v, it gets hot. I found a 5v big wallwart supply from Jameco, part # 1953612. It is a potted linear supply that puts out 1A and even has the right connector. And it's cheap at about $10. Thought I would pass this along. 73 Eric WD6DBM Sent from Yahoo Mail on HW-16 __ 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] Silent power supply for a K3s
Easy way out of this mess, if a little expensive... A big PSU dedicated to the rig(s), implementing "Remote Sensing" so at a distribution point close to the radio(s) the DC voltage is held constant, irrespective of the cable length from the PSU. This power supply should have a proper overload (and over voltage) protection scheme too, not only to protect itself, but the radio(s) also. And safety resistors between + and +s, also between - and -s terminals. (Prevents expensive embarrassment, if a sense line fails!) Then use a smaller PSU for the low power accessories, with suitable fusing. Any QRO power amp, needing really high current, should have it's own independent dedicated PSU, again with remote sensing to keep the voltage at the PA as near constant as it can be, and the resulting high DC currents, purely between the PA and it's PSU. Just my way of doing things, to keep the high DC currents out of the RF cabling. Google "power supply remote sensing" for more info. 73.

[Elecraft] KPA500 - Lost Reflected Power readings
Hi all Has anyone lost their reflected power readings? My KPA500 has and I do have a case opened regarding it and as well I have done some basic component level debugging. Since I am at my remote station, I don't have all the normal bench tools handy, but my guess by a series of basic Ohm meter debugging is it is likely U3. I'd l ike to order up U3 for DigiKey on spec, but without a parts listing, I am not able to figure out exactly which LMC6482 it is. If someone does have the complete chip type, I would appreciate it.

Re: [Elecraft] Help with IF Noise, DSP Noise, NR settings
Going from a TenTec Orion to the K3 the only disappointing thing to me was the difficulty in using the NB and NR and DSP. I finally just gave up. If I can hear it I work it. If I don’t I don’t.

[Elecraft] Help with IF Noise, DSP Noise, NR settings
Hello Everyone. I was listening this morning to a few week signals and lots of static. I was playing with the IF Noise Blanker and DSP Noise Blanker and NR Settings to find what would take out the static but leave the CW tone. I could not find a good setting. Is there any information or help in finding a good setting for these. Thanks in advance.

Re: [Elecraft] Left hand rotary encoder failure on KX3
Serial number is 8383, if that helps place the manufacturing date and therefore whether it's part of a batch with a known issue? - Richard On Thu, 13 Jun 2019 at 08:03, Richard Corfield wrote: > I've tried that with no success.

Re: [Elecraft] Left hand rotary encoder failure on KX3
I've tried that with no success. Though I'd have been surprised as the trace labelling on the connector indicate microcontroller serial data rather than individual switches. I'd expect the switch handling to be done on the switch board. I have SotaBeam's powerpole adapter fitted to the power connector which has a slightly longer screw. Could that affect things? Looking behind the panel I'd think not as there's just space between the switch rubber there. I plugged a remote speaker into the headphone jack, but a 3.5mm stereo plug is a 3.5mm stereo plug and I'd not expect that to damage things either. - Richard On Wed, 12 Jun 2019 at 23:53, Bill Frantz wrote: > On 6/12/19 at 2:52 PM, richard.corfi...@gmail.com (Richard > Corfield) wrote: > > >I've tried my KX3 today and noticed that the left hand volume rotary > >encoder is not working.
