Re: [Elecraft] K4 delivery is now in May

[Buddy Brannan]

Disappointing? It’s not unusual. Same happened with the KX3—production/shipping 
delays—and, I gather, same happened with the K3 as well. I don’t recall if the 
same delays happened with the KX1 or not. But it’s one of those nature of the 
beast things. I ordered my KX3 just a day or so after the announcement of the 
preorder window came up, and the scheduled beginning of production slipped. I 
think it slipped a couple times. Finally got it about a week before Field Day, 
and it was a sub-500 serial number. Was it worth the extra wait? Absolutely, 
without question it was. It was everything I’d hoped for it to be and then 
some.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

[dwightanderson]

Hello Kevin;

Thank you for the managing the Elecraft CW net!I have been listening for 
the past several months but am not able to hear you.
I'm wondering if an Elecraft CW operator that has a good location and antenna 
might volunteer to be a CW relay station with you?
Similar to the Elecraft SSB net.

I think keeping it very simple for example just send their Call, WX, State to 
the relay station after Kevin completes his check-ins. 
Ie for me, after I hear  the Relay Station call, with QSP?  I would send the 
following:   QSP de WM5F  WX Snow ID  
The relay station would pass WM5F Snow ID on to Kevin.Kevin would 
acknowledge with a simple QSL.
 
So is anyone interested to try it this Sunday?  Is there a better way to 
conduct a relay message for a net? 

Much Regards,
Dwight (WM5F)

Good Evening,

The Elecraft CW Net is a directed net.  There is no need to call CQ to get 
my attention; my location allows me to hear very well.  Just wait for me to 
call for check-ins then send your call or a part of it as a hail sign.  This 
allows me to gather two to three stations and work them in order.  Once I have 
cleared my list I call for more check ins.  I repeat this until I get no 
response three times.  If you call CQ during the net I'm not sure what you 
intend.  Are you trying to get my attention while I am working other operators? 
 Or are you calling your own net?   If you wait for my call up sequence and 
respond when I send your call sign it is much easier to direct the net.


   On 14050.5 kHz at 2200z:

NO8V - John - MI

K6XK - Roy - IA

W0CZ - Ken - ND

K4JPN - Steve - GA

WS1L - Chuck - MS

KF0QS - Bernard - CO

WU0A - John - CO

KC1ACL - Steven - NM

J?5?EG - ??? - ???   The QRM was too heavy to copy this op even though we tried 
five times.

Good signal though at S5 or better.


   On 7047.5 kHz at z:

K0DTJ - Brian - CA

Twenty meters was loud.  Jupiter was mentioned as a culprit. With all the 
clouds here I have a hard time keeping track of the moon let alone the planets. 
 The QSB was slow but Roy had a fast flutter on top of his signal.  The solar 
flux index has gone up from where it had been stuck for so many months.  From 
69 a few months ago to 74 today.  A bit of solar wind is enough to support 
these bands for another week.  I know a good contest lights up the ionosphere 
too.

Forty meters was less noisy with slow QSB.  Copy was very good. Most of the 
talk was about snow or rain.  A few rare folks actually have sunlight.  Here 
there is about two inches of sloppy snow.  The wind is rising too so I better 
put antenna work on my list.

   Until next week stay warm 73,

   Kevin.  KD5ONS

[Mike VE3YF]

Well that was not something I was expecting.

Oh well stuff like that happens everyday. Some things are beyond 
Elecrafts control.


The way I see it, better to have a polished and proper rig, than one 
that just full of bugs and issues. Get it right the first time.

Re: [Elecraft] K4, K4D and K4HD

[Nr4c]

I was told that K4 and K4D radios are basically the same   The “D” has a second 
LPF and ADC.  So no big deal. The “HD” model is still in development and will 
be months later.  Buyers will receive ( and be billed) for K4D and then the 
waiting starts all over again for the “H” hardware release.

[Elecraft] K4 Shipping Delay

[Terry Brown]

I am one of those far down the list in the first shipping group.  When I read 
the notice from Eric and Wayne, about the new shipment dates for the K4,  I was 
reminded of a comment from my builder a year and a half ago when our new house 
was about 4 months behind schedule.  

He said, we could have finished your house on time but it would have been 
finished by subcontractors who don’t provide the quality we insist on.  
Besides, and this is the important part regarding the K4, he said, “ I know you 
are frustrated,  but the day you move in and can begin to enjoy the quality of 
your home as long as you live here, the delay won’t mean anything.”

He was absolutely right.   When I walk around my new home and look at how well 
it’s made and the incredible quality of the finish work, the delay is 
meaningless.   We all who are anxiously awaiting the K4, will feel the same way 
once it arrives at our homes.Besides, it will be a better more refined 
radio in May than it would have been if shipped now.   

73,

Terry, N7TB

Re: [Elecraft] K4, K4D and K4HD

[Grant Youngman]

Originally, the K4/K4D were to be delivered first, and the K4HD a few months 
later.

Maybe Elecraft will have more information on any changes in that in the next 
few days.

Re: [Elecraft] K4 delivery is now in May

Where did this May rumor come from?  Yes, the kit version is supposed to
come out months later but the Elecraft web site still says that the first
shipments of the K4 are targeted for January 2020.

Hard to be disappointed when a delay beyond what was only a potential launch
date was inevitable. it’s a very complex transceiver, and manufacturing what
begins as a prototype is always difficult at best.

[Elecraft] KX3 temperature compensation experience

[Mooneer Salem]

Hi all,

I recently redid temperature compensation on my KX3 using a GPSDO that I
purchased to see what kind of results I could get. (I last did it a while
ago with the XG50 and didn't have any complaints about operation afterward,
but I also pretty much only used 20 meters and below.) Below is what I did
and what I observed.

*Device info:*

KX3 purchased February 2013 (revision D RF board, S/N in the 3000 range), 2
meter, battery charger and roofing filter options installed
VE7FMN heatsink installed

*Steps performed:*

1. Warmed up GPSDO (~24h beforehand).
2. Warmed up KX3 until OSC temperature stopped climbing (~1h to reach 34C).
3. Performed reference calibration at 50.000MHz (5th harmonic of 10MHz
square wave output) using the automatic method.
4. Placed KX3 in fridge for ~1-1.5 hours and set up heating equipment (100W
incandescent bulb and makeshift box using baking sheets to keep heat in).
5. Removed KX3, turned it on and began data collection/storage. I also
started logging using KX3 Utility. (OSC was ~14C at this point.)
6. After ~70min or so, stopped data collection at 52C and turned off bulb.
7. Reset reference calibration after allowing cooldown.
8. Started fldigi in analysis mode and recorded frequency data for ~15
minutes.

*Discussion:*

See attached. In short, frequency differences vs. temperature seem to be
linear up until close to the end of calibration, where the frequency starts
to go back up. The data collected from fldigi also seems to indicate an
average frequency shift of 0.04ppm at 10MHz, which IMO is perfectly
acceptable. (For reference, the specs for the Yaesu FT-817's TCXO claim
0.5ppm.)

That said, I did notice--as with others in previous posts to the various
Elecraft/KX3 lists--that the signal is significantly shifted on 6 meters
when performing the second reference calibration based on a HF signal (and
vice versa). However, there doesn't seem to be much of a difference
regardless of where one calibrates on HF. For me, since I don't do much
operating on 6 meters, I kept the 10MHz based reference calibration. It
would be nice if one could set a separate reference frequency for 6m/2m vs.
HF so that the radio can be right on frequency regardless of where it's
being used.

Also, I haven't tried transmitting with the new calibration yet, but given
that I didn't have any problems with the digital modes I commonly use in
the past, I don't expect any issues now. I did find
http://www.bigskyspaces.com/w7gj/KX3HeatSinks.htm before doing this, which
(a) indicated that there's a newer version of the RF board and (b) required
board modifications to get the oscillator to be stable enough for all but
JT65A on 6 meters. I'm not planning on modding my own KX3 in this manner,
but out of curiosity, is there a RF board newer than revision D (as
indicated in the schematics document on Elecraft's site)?

Anyway, let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything with
the methodology I could have done better. Offhand, calculating and setting
ppm offsets in fldigi might improve the frequency analysis a little bit,
though I don't know if it'd be by enough to matter much. Not to mention
doing a temperature compensation with the XG50 again to see how much a
GPSDO truly adds.

Thanks,

-Mooneer K6AQ

Re: [Elecraft] K4 on-air testing, etc.

[WILLIE BABER]

 Hello All,

I operated in the Classic Exchange event, and on Tuesday evening on 80 meters I 
was surprised by a call from Wayne, n6kr. Wayne was using the K4 (I think he 
was working, hi). Interestingly, I was using a Sierra qrp transceiver that I 
built and that Wayne designed many years ago now. Wayne pointed out that he 
designed the Sierra, but I already knew that as I have, like many others, 
followed Elecraft starting with the Sierra kit (before Elecraft), and then the 
k2 kit, the kx1 kit, and finally k3 (that eventually replaced MP, Orion, and 
Omni VI in multi-two or so2r). 

Thanks for the qso, Wayne.
73, Will, wj9b, dit dit

[Elecraft] K4 Remote Information

[Leroy Buller]

As this old dog is learning about SDR, Remote Control and such I have a
simple question about "remote control of the K4."

I understand the K4 has a Linux computer in it that acts like a "server"
while controlling other aspects of the radio.  Now, in my experience, when
you had a server you need client softwareEXCEPT...if it is a web server
or an HTML server.  Soo

Does one connect to the K4 through a web server using Chrome, Firefox, or
Edge(?) to the rig or is there special software for the client?

Yea, I know...dumb questions.  But I am seeking clarity.

[Dave Van Wallaghen]

Folks, I'm down to my last couple of K2 Fixed Audio Output Boards in 
stock: https://www.w8fgu.com/k2_fixedaudio.html


If there is still considerable interest in obtaining one, I would need 
to order more parts to make up another batch. So, I'm reaching out here 
to see if there is enough interest for me to invest in more stock. 
Please email me off list if you would be interested in purchasing one of 
these kits.


To keep the noise down on the list, please email me privately.

Re: [Elecraft] Visit to Elecraft HQ worthwhile?

[Ralph Young]

I'll probably not get to ever visit, but if possible - I'd do it.   I visited 
TenTec in the early seventies with my dad just after I got my novice  ticket.  
The owner (Al Kahn - formerly of Electrovoice) gave us a personal tour.   We 
were treated like visiting dignitaries.   They were making the PowerMite QRP 
rig, Keyers and some other things.   I found a KR-40 keyer under the Christmas 
tree a bit later.

Re: [Elecraft] Dug my K2 out today +

[Jan]

My K2 # 136 ~ a birthday present @ Hamvention in 1999 ~ was partially 
assembled that Spring; interrupted by a tenting vacation from Michigan 
to Seattle, and finished in the Fall.  Over the years I have enjoyed its 
operation and brought it to clubs and hamfests for "show & tell"


In 2010 I decided to add some modifications and was surprised how easy 
it was to take apart and do the changes.  These days is serves me 
faithfully as a bed-side station ~ even worked the Europeans on 3799 SSB 
at 10W to a dipole in the trees on our city lot; most recently last 
month . . . . after a nature call @ 08:00 UTC . . . ;-)
