[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

2023-07-15 Thread kevin

Good Evening,

   It was a cool week, until Wednesday.  Now temperatures are flirting 
with triple digits.  Foxgloves and fireweed are both in bloom.  
Raspberries are still red, not yet ready.  Salmon-berries are ripe but 
I'm not a fan.  Thimble-berries will be ready in a few weeks.


   The sun is not quiet.  There are three large sunspot groups, ranging 
from moderately active to C class flares.  A 'mild' CME hit the earth 
yesterday.  It's a safe bet there will be QRN and QSB tomorrow.  Summer 
storms will bring rain and static.


Please join us on (or near):

14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday)
 7047 kHz at z Monday (5 PM PDT Sunday)

   73,
  Kevin. KD5ONS






-




It was a quiet morning, the town covered over with darkness and at ease 
in bed.  Summer gathered in the weather, the wind had the proper touch, 
the breathing of the world was long and warm and slow. You had only to 
rise, lean from your window, and know that this indeed was the first 
real time of freedom and living, this was the first morning of summer.

Since it is used by the very popular KAT500 I doubt it will be 
discontinued any time soon.  You might want to fact-check before posting 
second-hand information.

[Elecraft] Is KX3 going obsolete soon?

eA Sat, 15 Jul 2023 06:31:14 -0700

I noticed elecraft has discontinued selling the KXUSB cable! I have one so
I don't need it but my more important question: Is this a sign
Elecraft is planning
to replace the KX3 in the near future? I'm sure they've been working on a
replacement and as they sell off inventory will a replacement come soon?


I love my KX3 but it gets very little use these days..

[Elecraft] KX3 2 meter error code

2023-07-15 Thread Mike Morgan
I started getting an error code; d=005, when switching to the 2 meter KX3 
Xverter.  I can clear the error and all seems to work OK on 2meters.  But after 
cycling the on/off power, the error returns…
Any thoughts on what this means?  I could not find any info in the manual.
Thanks,
Mike, N0MPM

[Elecraft] Serial Get of KX3 NR Icon Status

2023-07-15 Thread Mark Johnson
I have a KX3 and use a computer to control the radio, especially when using
digital modes.  From the Elecraft K3S/K3/KX3/KX2 Programmer’s Reference I
was able to identify and test the commands for turning Noise Reduction NR
on and off (SWH19).  I also identified and tested the commands for setting
and getting the value for the level of noise reduction (MN143).  I cannot
identify a command sequence for programmatically determining the current
state of NR (on/off).  I can get the state of NB and NTCH icons. Can
someone point out what I have missed?

I think you are most likely wrong about that.  Elecraft is quite 
obviously paring down their line of products and the lower end of the 
scale is just about gone.

My comments earlier are based on a brief chat with Eric at Friedrichshafen.

I’m reasonably convinced the KX3 will still be a part of our future.

I have a KX3 too.  Have hardly used it in the last two years.
Covid put a stop to me going out period.
I am wondering too, if they are stopping production?  Or making a newer

I don’t think the KX3 is going obsolete and I believe any idea of a KX3+, KX3 
v2 or even a KX4, a flight of fantasy.
