[Elecraft] New K4 software release

2021-04-28 Thread Wayne Burdick
A new production release of K4 software is available (release 12). To do an 
update, make sure you have an Ethernet connection, then:

1. Tap the Fn button (on the LCD), then hold UPDATE

2. Select "Production Release" from the pull-down menu at the top of the 
screen. Then tap the Check for Updates button. This will load (but not install) 
the latest files.

Note: You can tap "Release Notes" to read the release notes before updating, if 
desired. You can also read them after updating.

3. Tap the "Install" button. This will install all software and firmware that 
is newer than what you have at present.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Chirp

2021-04-28 Thread Lou Mecseri

I love chirps, it reminds of the real good old days when I was young.

We used to be able to recognize station by their distinct chirp.

I heard one station in the recent FQP with one, the chirp give me a very 
warm feeling.


I guess, it does not take much to make an old ham warm and happy.

I've been using the same K3, KPA1500, and Astron power supply for many
years.  I shut off the amp and could still hear the chirp.

One thought is that it has something to do with my power supply, although I
saw a previous posting that made that seem unlikely (below).  Wayne

before, I will look into it.

If anyone has experienced a problem with chirp on a K3, let me know (it is
a K3 not a K3S).

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a K3 or K3S for exhibit
"chirp." The synthesizer settles well before the rig switches from TX to RX
or vice-versa.

The KSYN3A (newer synth, used in the K3S) settles in well under 1 ms thanks
to its entirely digital architecture (UHF DSPLL, divided down).

The KSYN3 (older synth, used on the K3) uses a more traditional PLL with
its VCO running at the target output frequency. It normally settles in
under 5 ms. It can take a bit longer depending on the actual PLL voltage
and VCO frequency. This is accounted for in firmware.

If your KSYN3 were not properly calibrated, you might see a longer settling
time on one or two bands, most likely 6 meters. If you suspect this, refer
to the CONFIG:VCO MD menu entry. The K3 includes an automatic VCO
calibration routine that requires no test equipment and takes only a couple
of minutes to run.

synthesizer by voltage regulators and filters.

OTOH, the OO's report was strictly advisory. I have experienced spurious

OO reports over my >50 years of pounding brass, and one that turned out to
be accurate when I blew the filter caps in the transmitter and did not
notice, nor did the stations I was working report the hum on my signal.
When I got a "chirp" report one time (on a homebrew rig) and was unable to
hear it myself, I sent a friendly letter to the OO. He replied that he was
"almost sure" he could detect a "slight chirp" so he sent the card.

So my advice is that if you can't repeat what the OO observed, don't

worry about it.

Door Number Two - BT "receiver" and another set of amplified speakers.

Door Number Three - BT "receiver" and simple 10 dB resistor matrix

Door Number Four - forget about  the BT "receiver" and live with the

on the crowded desktop.


Right now Door Number Four sound the easiest.

[Elecraft] Stuff I never knew - CWT

2021-04-28 Thread N4ZR
After 10 years and probably 100,000 CW contest QSOs with my K3, I'm 
still learning about things - latest is the CWT function.  I find that 
keeping it on is totally unobtrusive, but in just a few weeks has 
significantly improved the "calibration" of my by-ear tuning. Kudos to 
the Elecraft engineers for this op aid.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: High school drafting class

2021-04-28 Thread David Wilcox via Elecraft
In my elementary school and high school (Saginaw, MI) all male teachers had a 
paddle of some sort. They never used it but appointed a student to administer 
the “whacks” in front of the class. Very effective. I graduated in 1963.
