[Elecraft] KX3 SWR issue

[Len]

Curious if anyone on the reflector has experienced false SWR readings on their 
KX3?  No antenna tuner is installed.  Radio tested on a dependable dummy load 
and SWR/Power meter.  On transmit at 5.8 W or less, the radio displays 
"full-scale" SWR reading (> 1.4-1) with power output consistent with radio 
power setting.  At 6w and above, display jumps down to 0 SWR and 0 RF output 
even though the radio is still able to transmit.
Receiver functions perfectly.

I have initiated an EENT, and re-loded latest software from Elecraft site. I 
loaded the original factory configuration provided to me by Elecraft.  If 
anyone has any further suggestions that I might consider before I send the unit 
back to Elecraft for evaluation, I would be very grateful.  Tnx and 73
Len, K6LEN

[Elecraft] P3 Not Zeroed

[Kevin, N4TT]

I noticed my P3 doesn't seem to be zeroed with the K3s. When I tune in a CW
signal with a 600 Hz pitch the P3 is off by 71 Hz. Not much but, I
expected  - zero.

In AM - WWV at 5 MHz the P3 seems spot on.

73,
Kev N4TT

[Elecraft] K4 soundcard/CODEC

[Jim N7US]

I apologize if this has been asked before.

 

Is the soundcard/CODEC in the K4 the same as in the K3S?

Re: [Elecraft] KPA 1500 dummy load recommendations

[Don Schroder]

I also have a MFJ-264. I figured if I need a dummy load, go with one that will 
handle the most watts I will ever need.
I don’t have much room, the MFJ-264 id s 1.5KW dry dummy load for 1-650MHz. A 
little smaller than a carton of cigs.
Haven’t used it yet.

[Elecraft] KPA1500 beta firmware 02.27 is now available

[Dick Dievendorff]

We’ve updated KPA1500 beta firmware to version 2.27.  Recent changes since our 
last production version 2.17 include:
 
· Reduce band line change detect period to avoid missing Xcvr frequency 
messages
·  Defer startup PA inline to reduce chance of input power fault when K3 
and amp are started together and keyed before K3 receives amp OPER
· ATU HiSWR retune on same frequency was unnecessarily constrained
·  Reset time-to-fault on overdrive events whenever PA is bypassed, changes 
some PA current faults on band/antenna switch from hard to soft faults
·  Add watchdog timer to TCP & UDP operations
·  Fix WDT reset and occasional hang during power off
·  Send ^ON0; during shutdown to USB Host & TCP client for KPA1500 Remote
 
KPA1500 Beta firmware is available from our web site,  
https://elecraft.com/pages/firmware-software
Choose K-Line Firmware & Software, then KPA1500 Firmware and Utility.
Beta firmware installation instructions are near the bottom of that page.

Re: [Elecraft] Dummy Load recommendation

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

I agree that Bird dummy loads are some of the best.  Be sure to get one rated 
for at least your maximum power anticipated.  And do allow a margin of safety. 
I use 2x, thus for 100 watts I use a 250 watt rated load. 

I purchase all of my power measurement equipment from NM3E.COM.  

Bob, K4TAX

Re: [Elecraft] Dummy Load recommendation

[Walter Underwood]

If you can solder, or would like to learn, I recommend the RFL-100 kit from Oak 
Hills Research. Simple kit, large parts for easy soldering. It will support 100 
W continuous. I used their BNC/UHF converter so it would have a BNC jack. Nice 
deal for $50.

Here are some photos from my RFL-100 build.

Re: [Elecraft] K3/0 and CW

[Fred Jensen]

Ummm ... sometimes we tend to inflate the magnitude of a problem ... 
just try it out.  Plug a straight key [or your keyer] into the KEY jack 
on the K3/0 and see if it works.  I believe the odds are way better than 
even that it will, especially if the cable plugged into the 1258 I/O 
jack is part of the "quadrapus" cable set that Elecraft sells for 
exactly this purpose.


I do not have a K3/0, I operate W7RN remotely with my K3, and the I/O 
RJ45 on the back of my 1258 is empty, so I key using pin 4. However, 
I've coached several with K3/0's to get configured properly for W7RN and 
they plug the key, bug, or keyer into the KEY jack.


Try it out ... we're Amateurs, what could go wrong?

You need to use the RRC's I/O port. See the RemoteRig manual pages 94,

Does the KEY jack on the back of the K3/0-Mini do anything?  If it

I've seen suggestions to modify the cable to the I/O jack on the

My only gripe about that procedure (which I use for that same purpose) is that 
it deletes all the cookies whether I tell it to do so or not. The result is 
that when I log into my bank on-line, they go through the "we will send you a 
security code" verification procedure because it can't find the now-deleted 
cookie.  I guess that we can't have everything.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 center frequency

[Fred Jensen]

Alan: Your description may be right on, it may explain why the effect is 
difficult to reproduce and appears to be "intermittent," sometimes it 
maintains the center frequency and sometimes it doesn't.  I'll try the 
FixMode=Static with a controlled set of changes that I know will cause 
the problem in Full Screen mode.

I'm out of town right now so I can't test this out.  But when it came 
up before, as I recall the problem turned out to be as Tom says, some 
software programs send frequency and band commands in an order that 
causes the P3 to temporarily be tuned outside the span window.



Normally, the P3 tries to keep the VFO A frequency within the span, so 
when the "wrong" frequency appears, the P3 re-tunes itself.  When the 
frequency returns to the correct value, the P3 retunes again to put 
that frequency somewheree within the span, using rules determined by 
the MENU FixMode selection.



A think a workaround for this is to set FixMode to "Static". As I say, 
I am not able to test that right now since I'm out of town, but I 
think that will force the frequency range to be corrrect even after a 
software-initiated band change.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 - options to automatically send digital mode CQ's with pauses to listen

[Don Wilhelm]

Mike,

No software is needed.  Record your CQ in a message memory - don't 
forget to end it with the "IM" chacracter if using paddles to enter the 
text.  If you use KX3 Utility to enter the text, end with a "|" 
character to stop the 4 second 'diddle'.


Then set MENU:MSG RPT for the repeat interval you want to use.
See the CW/DATA Message Record/Play section of the KX3 manual.

Re: [Elecraft] K3/0 and CW

[Fred Jensen]

John: If you are using the "Quadrapus cable set" that Elecraft sells for 
the K3/0-RRC1258 combo, I believe the answer is "Yes."  I remote to W7RN 
using my K3 and don't have a K3/0 but I've coached others who do get 
their configuration right and that's how they do it.  Pin 4 of the RJ45 
I/O connector on the back of the 1258 is the key line [pin 8 is ground] 
and you can use it instead, however the Elecraft cable set takes care of 
all the interconnections for you.

Does the KEY jack on the back of the K3/0-Mini do anything?  If it 
operates like a straight key I could send my keyer output to that jack.


I've seen suggestions to modify the cable to the I/O jack on the 
RemoteRig box and insert the keyer output there.  Does this interfere 
with the other I/O functions of the K3/0-Mini?

Re: [Elecraft] P3 center frequency

[Alan Bloom]

I'm out of town right now so I can't test this out.  But when it came up
before, as I recall the problem turned out to be as Tom says, some
software programs send frequency and band commands in an order that
causes the P3 to temporarily be tuned outside the span window. 

Normally, the P3 tries to keep the VFO A frequency within the span, so
when the "wrong" frequency appears, the P3 re-tunes itself.  When the
frequency returns to the correct value, the P3 retunes again to put that
frequency somewheree within the span, using rules determined by the MENU
FixMode selection. 

A think a workaround for this is to set FixMode to "Static".  As I say,
I am not able to test that right now since I'm out of town, but I think
that will force the frequency range to be corrrect even after a
software-initiated band change.

[Elecraft] KX3 - options to automatically send digital mode CQ's with pauses to listen

[Mike Parkes]

I am searching for what software exists that will allow the KX3, while in
data modes (rtty for example), to send a group of CQ's... and then pause to
listen... and then automatically sends CQ again, and continues this until
the OP halts the process. I am not aware of any macro for the KX3 that
would do this. I don't think fldigi has this kind of functionality. HRD
seems to do this which I have not tried. Is there anything else out there
for digi modes that does this? I have a Kantronics KAM that I might put
back into service, as I know for sure it can do this, but thought I would
search software solutions first. Thanks if anyone has any thoughts on that!

[Elecraft] K3 no RF Output

[Harald Fritzsche]

Hello Readers,
i need to understand which point in the signal path i have to control/measure 
to investigate further damages in my K3 after water damage event.
yes, VOX is on.
When i have the place where the issue starts, i want to understand what is 
causing that behavior.
Currently receiver is working, but i have no RF output from PA. So i want to 
check the TX path.
During TX i see no output from DAC to TXIF in CW, i would expect a 15KHz signal 
there. But i find during RX on ADC an input signal(bandwidth 2Khz @ 16KHz).
I only see an 8230KHz signal at roofing filter input.

First: ist this assumption right, to see 15KHz after DAC output? If yes on wich 
pin of which jumper?
If correct, what can cause, that the signal is not appearing.

Probably i could replace the RF board by a new one, but i want to avoid it.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net .....speed

[kevinr]

Hi Tom,

   Your namesake, Tom Hammond (N0SS now SK), put a speed limit on me a 
long time ago.  I run at about 20 to 21 wpm, a good conversational 
speed.  Faster ops are welcome as are those who run more slowly.  While 
working slower operators I put more space between each character and 
between words but maintain my character rate.  If I slow down too much 
my fingers get stuck either open or closed which causes many malformed 
characters.  I should not have been so hard on my hands when I was younger.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 center frequency

[Tom]

Hi,
Sorry, I forgot my signature.  It's Tom va2fsq.
I've tried this out quite a bit with Win4K3Suite, and in fixed mode changing 
bands always results in the correct behavior.  The left frequency in the P3 
display is always where it was left the last time you were on that band.
Win4K3Suite issues the BN command when it switches bands.  It's possible that 
other packages where you see this behavior do not.
For example, N1MM, DXLab, actually sends the last frequency that was on the 
previous band.  It does not issue a BN command.  Other packages might do 
similar things.  
However, is this intermittent?  Or does it always occur.  Which application?  
Is it possible that you QSY'd outside the span at some point?  The left 
frequency will then be different.
So unless this is intermittent, or caused by the application, it would seem 
that the P3 is operating correctly.

Not sure who I'm talking to here, no signature, no call.  It's a little hard to 
explain but ...

Assume you set SPAN=100 KHz and put the left edge at the bottom of each band.  
Changing bands back and forth using the BAND ^/v switch will preserve these 
settings, and every time you come back to a previous band, they will appear ... 
so long as you don't touch any of the P3 controls.  However, using CAT commands 
[e.g. from a logger], you can change to a new band and the settings will hold, 
however returning to the previous band, the SPAN will still be 100 KHz but the 
center frequency will have moved and the left edge will no longer be at the 
bottom of the band.  Admittedly, it's a bit hard to duplicate but the 
circumstances that cause it are common in contesting and it has been duplicated 
by several folk, including me.

The issue has been raised here on the list more than once.  I think it first 
came up several years ago, which could be 1 or 6, even Apollo 11 seems like 
yesterday to me these days. [:-)  It has some of the earmarks of an intentional 
attempt to "do something good" in the firmware which turned out to be not so 
good, but I really don't know.  For whatever the reason, I expect it to come 
back to the settings it had when I left that band.

As Randy said, it is really annoying.  I, and I think most, use the P3 visually 
instead of looking at the K3.  If I set the left edge at the bottom of the band 
and the SPAN at 100 KHz, I automatically visualize the 1st 100 KHz directly 
from the screen. If it's changed as a result of band changes, my mental picture 
of that band segment is wrong.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S HDSDR as a panadapter with IF out

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

I used  a RSP-1 {SDR Play} on the IF output of my K3S before I purchased 
my P3.   I used HDSDR and OmniRig as the controlling software.  I was 
very pleased with its performance, ease of use, and ease of configuration.

attached to the IF port.


I thought that someone else may have had the same idea and already done it, 
hence the question.

The Perseus receiver that gets overloaded on a busy band - Is it hooked
up directly to the antenna or to the IF out on K3s?

I would think that the front end of the K3s should help the receiver
hooked up on the IF.

Indeed that is true and I have both an SRP2 and Win4K3Suite, however an SDRPlay 
SRP2 is several orders of magnitude inferior to a Perseus and completely 
collapses during EU 6m Sporadic E which is where I will be using it. 
Win4K3Suite software is very nice I agree.

What is mindlessly simple is assuming that a fellow has not considered these 
choices first. K3S first rate receiver, Perseus 1st rate receiver, SDRPlay 
cheap and not very good.

Does anyone have any experience of the proposed HDSDR and Perseus configuration?

I suspect that you could do as you suggest, but it is almost mindlessly simple 
to use an SDRPlay driving Win4K3 Suite. You have mouse control and other 
features.

I have a Perseus and I wonder if anybody is using a similar set up as a 
panadapter, the P3 has no mouse control and does not appeal to me having got 
used to HDSDR and Omnirig in the past. I suppose that I set the IF to 8.215 MHz 
in HDSDR? Any other tips?

[Elecraft] K3/0 and CW

[John Huffman]

I'm setting up a K3/0-Mini to control my K3 remotely.  I would like to 
use an external keyer (Logikeyer) since I don't like the timing of the 
RemoteRig keyer. I have questions.


Does the KEY jack on the back of the K3/0-Mini do anything?  If it 
operates like a straight key I could send my keyer output to that jack.


I've seen suggestions to modify the cable to the I/O jack on the 
RemoteRig box and insert the keyer output there.  Does this interfere 
with the other I/O functions of the K3/0-Mini?
