Does the K3, like the TS-590, have a user option that defines how the change to CW is handled? Not that I know of. In digital and SSB modes, the dial frequency is the suppressed carrier. In CW mode, it's the actual signal frequency. The K3 takes the desired CW note frequency into account. In RTTY modes, it's the Mark Frequency. When you switch to CW to hear a CW signal that you heard in Digital mode, you'll have to tune it in. The K3 has a front panel button that allows the op to use plus or minus CW offset. 73, Jim K9YC __ 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] Not Able to hear CW
I just dialed up a local beacon. With it producing about a 1 kHz tone in the tx data mode, I switched the mode on my k3 to CW. the tone dropped down by 600 hz, which is the CW offset/sidetone point I have in my K3. If you hear it on the tx data mode, and you move to CW, adjust the vfo +/- 600-700 hz, and I'm sure you will hear it. The radio is just shifting the offset.

Re: [Elecraft] Not Able to hear CW
Unfortunately not that simple Andy. When switching to CW mode, I tune around to make sure that it’s not a shift causing this . But , no luck.

Re: [Elecraft] Frequency Accuracy and stability
Good point. One needs to do a careful zero beat cal first, to make sure you are in the ballpark. You can verify later by tuning to 9,999,998 and counting the beats in 10 seconds. The number of beats on the two frequencies should add up to 40. Incidentally, by counting the number of beats in 10 seconds on 10,000,002 (or 9,999,998), you can estimate your residual frequency error in tenths of a Hz (beyond the capability of the dial display). For example, if there are 23 beats in ten seconds, your radio is telling you that you are 2.3 Hz from zero beat, so you are actually tuned to 10,000,002.3 Hz. That info can be used to correct your results in the Frequency Measuring Test (FMT), but is of no other practical use that I can think of. It was fun to beat some of the big boys in the last FMT, using only a stock K3 without even a TCXO!

Re: [Elecraft] W2 Issue
Bill; R22 in the sensors is a sense resistor that tells the controller which sensor is attached. It is a very low stress part that sees at most 5 volts at very low current. R22 is different for each sensor - the values shown in the schematic are not necessarily correct. Also, these are precision 1% resistors. With that in mind, the values are: 2KW HF Sensor, R22 is a 2K ohm 1% SMT resistor. 200W HF Sensor, R22 is a 1KW 1% SMT resistor. 200W VHF Sensor, R22 is a 4.7K 1% SMT resistor. We need to be careful what we might plug the sensor cable into. The standard box would not stress the resistor to the degree that the resistor blew, especially since that connector also has a ground attached as well. If it were to be plugged into something like an ethernet adapter, I would expect the sensor not to survive since those pins connect to entirely different signals with different characteristics. 73, Jack, W6FB > On May 20, 2021, at 6:12 AM, William Carpenter wrote: > > My W2 wattmeter suddenly stopped working properly this morning along with > that dreaded smoke smell.

[Elecraft] W2 Issue
My W2 wattmeter suddenly stopped working properly this morning along with that dreaded smoke smell. The smell came from the 2KW sensor unit and upon inspection R22 which is a 1K in the sense circuit is burned. Of course it's surface mount but I think I can replace it OK. If not with another surface mount I could possibly be able to mount a leaded resistor. I was operating at 100 watts on 20 meters into a low SWR when this happened. Has anyone else had this happen? What could have caused this? I have also contacted Elecraft tech support about this but I know there are plenty of experts on this forum too! 73, Bill NZ0T __ 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
