[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[kevinr]

Good Evening,

  We had a week of sunspots.  Solar flux is up slightly with some 
auroral activity.  The sun is also rising earlier and setting later.  
Buds are forming on my lilacs.  The hummingbird left during the last few 
weeks of snow.  It is almost time for them to come back :)


   I am a curious person, or so I've been told.  I try to write 
efficient code.  What began as a brute force search method using five 
lines, has grown.  First, a binning data structure gave me improved 
performance, with a search taking 16 lines of code.  But only about a 5x 
increase in speed.  Edge, face, and corner cases were devouring 
processor cycles like they were free.  While taking a shower, I thought 
of unrolling the loops to create a search tree, then pruning for edge, 
face, and corner effects.  I found the speed I wanted, with an 8x 
increase (40x from brute force). However, the code is now 257 lines 
long.  At this rate, the search will run instantaneously when I have 
written infinite lines of code.


Please join us tomorrow on:

14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday  (2 PM PST Sunday)
 7047 kHz at z Monday  (4 PM PST Sunday)

73,

   Kevin. KD5ONS

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 and WKmini

[Julia Tuttle]

I don't think so -- you'd need an adapter that just doesn't connect that
pin.

[Elecraft] KX2 and WKmini

[Bill Lederer]

Folks:

I recently bought a WKmini to use for portable operation. In reading the
documentation, it turns out that the cable supplied that goes from the OUT
port of the WKmini to the key jack on the KX2 keys the tip with the code,
but use the ring to do a PTT function. I'm fine with QSL on the KX2, so I
don't need this. And in fact, the KX2 will key when either the ti or ring
is  engaged by the WKmini.

Experimenting with the MacWinKeyer.app, there is a selection to turn off
the PTT function, and that works nicely.  I had hoped that exting the
program would leave that setting in the "no PTT" mode, but it is not to be.

So is there a  way that the KX2 can be convinced to only pay attention to
the tip when the mode is set to "Hand" and not the ring?

Thanks,
w8lvn

[Elecraft] K2 REVISED LCD and BACKLIGHT ASSEMBLY

[hawley, charles j jr]

I see there is a new backlight for the K2. I wonder why, and is this better 
than the original back in 2000. How difficult iis it to replace in a finished 
K2?

Re: [Elecraft] Buyer Beware!

[David Thompson via Elecraft]

GA all,

I’ve turned this outfit in so many times I can no longer count. I don’t know 
how these keep getting through fleaBay, but they do.

Be careful out there. I will generally not buy radio gear if a callsign is not 
present in the description and/or photographs. 

Good catch...

[Elecraft] KIO2 and KUSB

[Dave Sublette]

Problem is fixed.  Thanks to very good advice from Geert Jan PE1HZG.
 I solved it by putting the old cable in series with the new cable.  The
old cable had only the proper three pins in it.  I had made it several
years ago, using the information in the manual.  In the meantime I had
forgotten the Caution about too many wires!

My K2 was not damaged

Dave, K4TO

Re: [Elecraft] K2 question (KUSB and KIO2)

[Geert Jan de Groot]

How much damage is done partially depends on the hardware mod version of 
your K2. The "B" mods includes some modifications that should limit some 
of the most serious damage, like blowing up the main processor of your 
K2. There is a document somewhere that describes what damage a K2 
suffers because of this; it's a long list


Apologies for replying to my own post - didn't want Dave to sustain any 
more damage! - but for those who have done the unthinkable and connected 
a regular RS232 device to KIO2,
https://folk.universitetetioslo.no/sverre/LA3ZA/blog/K2/N0SS/k2_wrong_ser_cbl_damage.pdf 
should be helpful information.


Step 10 of the K2 "Upgrading the elecraft K2 to revision B" document on 
the Elecraft website has a valuable step that I missed when I did other 
upgrades.


BTW, if your K2 is the 10W version, you don't use the RS232 port and you 
don't have the "K2 amplifier keying circuit" that can be found on the 
Elecraft website, it is possible to put that circuit inside a DE9 
connector hood: have a DE9-M connector that plugs in the KIO2, and a 
cable to key your amplifier. I added another transistor to switch a 
small LED so that the connector now lights up when the K2 is 
transmitting. I use this to key a chain of transverters for the QO100 
satellite. And it avoids drilling a hole for the PTT key plug.


73,

Geert Jan

Hi Wayne,

What are plans for KX3 FW bugs?  There's a 10 GHz contest coming up
around the corner.

Bugs that I know about:
https://github.com/drewarnett/kx3-firmware-issues/issues

KX3 is a fantastic IF radio.  I talked it up on the SMBS list last
year:  https://lists.altadena.net/pipermail/sbms/2020-December/010219.html

Best regards,

Re: [Elecraft] K2 question (KUSB and KIO2)

[Geert Jan de Groot]

Is the KUSB cable compatible with the K2?  Should have asked this before I
bought the cable.  My K2 has worked with a serial port adapter from Keyspan
for several years and with a variety of logging programs.
So I went with the KUSB.  When I connect it, the K2 does strange things.
Power control turned all the way down results in a nice 10 watt output  and
normal operation.  When Power control is turned up I get a HiCurr and LoPWR
error and the display only shows power, not frequency.


Please read the KIO2 documentation: any serial device may only be 
connected *if only pin 2, 3, 5* are connected. If you connect a serial 
device with the other pins connected, which the KUSB as well as most 
other devices have, *you can cause serious damage to your K2*.


It is essential that the other pins are left unconnected, they are used 
for other signals and the RS232 signals give voltages that cause damage.


So, if you use the KUSB, make sure to insert a short cable that ONLY 
connects these 3 wires, NOTHING ELSE.


How much damage is done partially depends on the hardware mod version of 
your K2. The "B" mods includes some modifications that should limit some 
of the most serious damage, like blowing up the main processor of your

Hackers are getting very sophisticated.  I have heard of situations where they

You have to be very careful these days.

[Elecraft] K2 question

[Dave Sublette]

Is the KUSB cable compatible with the K2?  Should have asked this before I
bought the cable.  My K2 has worked with a serial port adapter from Keyspan
for several years and with a variety of logging programs.

I had to ditch the keyspan because BiG Sur doesn't have a driver and
Keyspan doesn't have a compatible driver for Big Sur

So I went with the KUSB.  When I connect it, the K2 does strange things.
Power control turned all the way down results in a nice 10 watt output  and
normal operation.  When Power control is turned up I get a HiCurr and LoPWR
error and the display only shows power, not frequency.

Any thoughts?

Thanks and 73,

Dave, K4TO

Re: [Elecraft] Buyer Beware!

[Grant Youngman]

This is not a bad joke. You're pointing fingers in the wrong place.  As is 
typical with this scam (which has been ongoing for years now), the listed 
seller’s account has been hacked by a malevolent third party.  You can pretty 
well guarantee that the listing is fraudulent, and has not been posted by the 
seller shown with the ad.  Odds are he doesn’t even know it’s out there. It may 
be that seller’s account, but it isn’t that guy.

Re: [Elecraft] Buyer Beware!

Well one of their photos has   text that tells you  they will not 
respond through the E-Bay mail system, and that any bids will be 
removed.   No matter what their feedback rating, those policies should 
be enough of a warning.   I am surprised that E-Bay hasn't banned them.

Re: [Elecraft] This morning on 40 meters: some DX, and over-the-horizon radar

 Testing the K4.  It's a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it.

[Elecraft] K3 Hanging on mode switch

[Donald Wines]

My trusty old K3, SN 123 in operation almost daily since late 2007, and has
performed almost flawlessly since. It has been updated regularly with most
options and could be considered “almost K3S”. It has been back to the
mothership once about 10 years ago for a quick fix due to  lightning ESD.

Recently though when changing modes from CW to USB/LSB or from DATA to AM
it hangs in transmit. A quick press of the “XMIT” button clears the problem
and it operates normally after. It doesn’t hang on any other mode switches
but if I change bands from a band on CW to a band on USB/LSB it will hang.
On two occasions going from DATA to AM it froze completely and wouldn’t
respond to any button and had to be powered off at the power supply.

Here’s what I have tried so far:

1. Since the “gold pin” mod hasn’t been done, I pulled the front panel,
cleaned all the pins and replaced it. No change.

2. After it froze completely the second time, I forced an EEINIT, reloaded
a good configuration. No change.

So it appears to be a hardware problem. I haven’t contacted Elecraft yet
because they seem to be in flux right now due to COVID and the push to get
the K4 out the door. Plus, I do have a quick work-around as long as I avoid
the total freeze.

So if anyone has had a similar problem and solution or could tell me where
to look I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Don, K5DW

Re: [Elecraft] TX Gain Calibration Fails on 6 meters

[David J. Schmocker]

Hello, K3S. S/N 11532 K3 Utility running on Mac OS 10.14.6 Mojave

I found that running Transmitter Gain utility requires these settings within
K3S Config menu to enable test to pass (with good 50 Ohm load on both ANT1
and XVTR-Out ports): 

Transmitter Gain tests: 
5W test.  requires Config - XVTR -  OFF
50W test requires Config - XVTR -  OFF
mW test requires Config - XVTR - ON.  

I suppose this makes sense (turn the transporter on for the mW test which is
used to drive the Transverter).

Dave KJ9I
