Re: [Elecraft] KX3 CW keying problem

2020-11-22 Thread Adrian
Kent yes i did try that. I prefer Iambic A as Petr does, his experience 
is identical to mine.


I had tried iambic B previous to your advice with no change, and i don't 
use squeeze keying in any case. this is testing at 15 wpm.


The issue is random, and sometimes I can nearly get through a CQ without 
it messing up.


On my Yaesu rigs, same procedure, I have no issue and the send is 
perfect heard & tested with cwget monitor.


On the KX3  I can tap for a  dah and sometimes get a dit-dat-dit or 
dah-dit. When sending the 4 in my call I often get a dit after the last dah.


or a dah-dit on the T.

How the right paddle can produce a dit is beyond me. Left is set dit.

I have played with weight and delay settings also to no avail. Thankyou 
for your response.

Before taking any drastic measures, switch to the other Iambic mode from what 
you are currently using and see if that helps.   If using Iambic A, switch to 
Iambic B or vice-versa.  It’s in the CONFIG menu.

I've been using KX3 for some time now and still have some problems

with CW keying. I'm using squeeze keying Curtis A. In the KX3 menu,

there is selected A squeeze mode but during the QSO, it seems that the

B is still enabled. The internal keyer very often adds dash, sometimes

dot. It's horrible, because of that, I have to use an external keyer

(TinyKeyer by Martin, OK1RR).



It seems the problem is not with the paddle, I tried to use two

paddles - Mercury N2DAN paddle from Bencher and Electraft Hexkey

paddle. Still the same result. It's really annoying because when I

operate from portable, I have to take care also about external keyer.

What could be the problem? KX3 SN is 7742 with latest firmware

installed.

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

2020-11-22 Thread kevinr

Good Evening,

   There was little noise on either band.  QSB was mild, except for 
those east of the Rockies on 40 meters.  There was a flutter on all of 
you.  Mostly it was reports of a chilly drizzle.  Wind too.  Cold wind.  
Snow is in my forecast, sometimes I look forward to it.


   I created some antenna radiation patterns as 3D objects last night.  
They are running on my 3D engine.  Its simple hidden face algorithm is 
very confused with the toroidal pattern of a loop antenna.  Sometimes 
the mistakes make the most interesting displays.  Once I tame them down 
I will add a UI to control a few of the parameters.  Height above ground 
changes the patterns, sometime drastically.  I had forgotten how much 
fun it was to write these models.  This morning I wrote a new Bessel 
function solver for the loop antenna.  Machines are much faster than 
when I first wrote this code.  I can step more finely for a smoother 
image.  I need to write a better hidden surface routine.



  On 14050.5 kHz at 2200z:

W0CZ - Ken - ND

NO8V - John - MI

W3NP - Dave - WV

K4JPN - Steve - GA

K6XK - Roy - IA

   Signals were loud today.  Solar flux was up but I'm not sure what 
happened to that solar breeze.  I did not hear it at all.



        73,

    Kevin.  KD5ONS

Re: [Elecraft] K2 upgrade kit question about L31

2020-11-22 Thread Don Wilhelm

I do not know what mauve is either.

My wife says I had only 8 crayons in my box while she had 64!
I am amazed at her color perception and memory.  She can look at a color 
and go to the store and have them duplicate it exactly - even without a 
sample for matching.


Having done professional woodworking for 10 years, I can do good at wood 
stains and shades, so she leaves me to do that - I do not tinker with 
her color perception.  If it is shades of brown, I can handle it, but I 
leave the rest to her.

[Elecraft] KAT500 help

2020-11-22 Thread Andy Durbin
"Has anyone ever used real RS232 signal levels into one of these, or does it 
actually only work with USB?"

The KAT500 will accept either TTL or real RS-232 voltage levels. The KAT500 
serial data transmitter is not RS-232 compliant (swings between zero and +12 V) 
and may not work with a true RS-232 receiver.  It does drive a MAX 3232 with no 
problem.

Whether the linked serial cable will work depends on the characteristics of the 
RS-232 port it is connected to.  If that port needs true RS-232 voltage levels 
then it isn't going to work.  (RS-232 swings positive and negative and is not 
zero referenced).

[Elecraft] K2 upgrade kit question about L31

2020-11-22 Thread Douglas Hagerman via Elecraft
I’m in the E850138 upgrade kit right now, and the included inductor L31 seems 
to be a bit off.

The value listed in the instructions is 12 uH, but the actual part is a blue 
ceramic inductor with stripes Brown-Brown-Black, which I read as 11 uH.

Does this seem like a packing mistake, and I should hold out for a 12 uH part? 
Or does it fall into the “close enough” category?

Thanks.

[Elecraft] A new release of Win4K3Suite is now available

2020-11-22 Thread Tom
Hello,
There is a new version of Win4K3Suite available.  This release has a number
of updates for the KPA1500 as well as some fixes for Log4OM.

Win4K3Suite is a full featured control program for the K3/S, KX3 and KX2.
It has a built in Panadapter that works with LPPAN and a sound card, as well
as the SDRPlay RSP's. It supports the KAT500, KPA500/1500 and the KXPA100 on
most of the above radios.  
A unique feature is that is has 6 built in Virtual Radios, each of which
works just like an Elecraft radio.  This allows sharing of a single COM port
with up to 6 applications.  It also has a built in HRDLogbook server and the
EiBi Shortwave database.
There are many more features like full access to menu items, a cluster
display using your ClubLog credentials and many more.
You see more information here:

[Elecraft] K2 advice

2020-11-22 Thread John Daws
Huge thanks to the many who have offered advice on the subject of my K2
intentions- all very useful and am just printing out the hard copies of all
the e-mails so I can reread and   think about it  (always did prefer hard
copy!!)

 

I really appreciate all the responses so many thanks; you have given me much
to think about .

 

Best wishes  and give me a call if you hear me .. the KX3 works well!

 

John
