[Elecraft] 75 ohm coax
If your 75 ohm coax has a steel/copper coated center conductor, be sure to test it for loss on the lowest frequency band you will use. I experimented with a steel core 160 meter antenna and found it had some additional loss and probably due to the inductance it could be shorter for resonance (10 % perhaps ??) so I abandoned the idea. Never noticed the effect on higher frequencies.

Re: [Elecraft] 75 ohm coax
The plus of RG6 is low price, less than 10c a foot. In receive applications, they seem to be lasting forever. In transmit too but small nuisances are necessity to use a tuner for low SWR antennas and nonstandard connectors. But running two in parallel does not make any sense. Half a year ago I found Rg6's 50 Ohm equivalent on ebay. Altelix AX240 for $99/1000ft. Measured parameters same as LMR240. The plus of cheap and good 1000-ft roll (with crimp connectors that can be attached in 30 sec) is that the coax can be cut as needed, with no worries about cost.

[Elecraft] Power Issue
When I press the Power button to turn off one of my K3s, the LCD screen stays lit but shows no information. The P3, powered by the 12v outlet at the back of the K3 does go off. Of course, if I turn the power supply off, the LCD screen goes dark. However, when I turn the power supply back on, the rig comes back on also. 73, Ken, K6LA / VY2TT __ 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] Elecraft K3s - RX OU ANT and Colibrì nano sdr

[Elecraft] Elecraft K3s - RX OU ANT and Colibrì nano sdr
Hello, i ordered a Colibrì Nano (https://eesdr.com/en/products-en/receivers-en/colibrinano-en) and i am thinkg to connect the Colibrì antenna through the RX ANT OT of the K3s tu use the colibrì and his software like a panadapter for the K3s. The colibrì can't accept "IF OUT", so i will use RX ANT OUT from XV3B to give antenna signal to the Colibrì. The Colibrì is one the best SDR (usb) out there with a sample rate of max 3mhz at 16 bit and 768 khz at 24 bit, the dedicated software ExpertSDR2 is fantastic anche can used with SDC to have cw skimmer spots and DX cluster spots on the panadapter. I want to use the Colibrì only like a panadapter and use the K3s to transmit, syncing the two radio frequncies. I would like to know if there are know problem to use this configuration, especially when i will go in TX with the K3s. Maybe somebody did it this before me. There is a protection system that disconnect RX ANT OUT when the K3s go in TX ? There is something to configure in the menu ? Simply, there is a risk for the safeness of the Colibrì connect to the antenna RX OUT ANT ? I wouldn't burn the Colibrì with RF or RFI coming from the radio. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - NOT K3S - issue: TX Calibration fails on 6m only
I perform "radio maintenance" about every 2nd month or so. That includes check frequency {adjust REF CAL as necessary}, check power output on all bands {run TX Gain Cal as necessary}, receiver sensitivity {run RX Gain cal as necessary} and then perform a full back up of the configuration data. At the same time, I'm amazed at how stable and accurate the radio maintains in all regards. I've not experienced any failures of the TX gain calibration except when the KPA3A had issues. That was replaced with a Rev E unit and no problems observed since then. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 4/2/2020 9:01 AM, hawley, charles j jr wrote: I had the same issue with a brand new K3S.

Re: [Elecraft] 75 ohm coax
I have used TV RG6 for over 30 years. Usually 50 feet or less and it handled the output of my SB200 amp well. In Ecuador that was the only coax readily available and it worked well. I recently bought a roll of 250 feet at Walmart for $30. Checked the loss of 100 feet and was about 1.5 dB at 145 MHz. Not as good as open wire feedline but for coax very workable. Cannot beat the price. I also have used the "F" connectors up to about 600 watts with no problem and now find BNC conn at Home Depot made for RG6 Coax. There is a lot of discussion about using RG6, usually from those who have not used it but have heard it is not good. It is definitely better than RG174 but heavier. I have been fortunate to have found good RG6 but I always test it before use. It works well in an ugly balun also at HF. I usually use the 25 foot lengths found already made with connectors on each end. I have used two runs in parallel, center conductors of course, to feed a doublet for multiband HF. 50 feet lengths feed my 6 and 2 meter verticals.
