[Elecraft] K3/100 low output power
It was discussed few days ago about a problem of low power output on the k3 sometimes – bu i don´t remember the solution. Well i had noticed that issue during day by day operation and solved after a turn on-off-on. But this weekend during the ARRL, it happened many times. The radio went to 5w only or so. Only once i saw an error on the lcd: ERR TXG. I found a “solution”: on the k3 utility: re-calibrate the radio w/ a dummy load. Anyone could help on that?

Re: [Elecraft] Older K3/100s can be updated to avoid possible ERR12V problem
I´m not pretty sure but mine was Oct. 2010 but the problem was exactly the same except for the msg error. I didn´t see any but i tried to put more than 12w but no way. I went into the menu to check if the PA was enable and yes. After shut down it was normal agn. As i stopped radio after that for the Hamcation visit, i don´t know what will happens next.

There is a separate box available called K3 Twin that adds all the cables necessary to connect both K3's to their respective RRC's. However, you can build these cables if you want to save money, the schematics are contained in the manual that you can download from the RemoteRig web site. You can buy: - Either the standard RRC set from HRO, direct from RemoteRig in Sweden or another dealer and build your own cables. The cable set is also available separately (sold as the K3 Accessory Kit). - Or buy the K3 Twin set including cables, currently only directly from RemoteRig in Sweden. Elecraft should hopefully be selling these soon. I assume Eric or Wayne will advise on availability of these from Elecraft, as well as the K3/0, as soon as they are ready to. 73, Mitch DJ0QN On 06.02.2012 19:56, Jorge Diez - CX6VM wrote: Hello, Anyone know another place out of HRO that sell the Remoterig in US?

[Elecraft] K3 serial cable to PC
Hello Elecrafters After a 10 days trip i turned on my K3 and it was blocked. No buttons working, no rx, nothing. Only the displays were working, on the lcd the msg: VOX=OFF and a continuous beep. So after a few turn on/off i decided go to EEINT (reset the radio). Well after that i opened the K3 utility to start the configs again. It was also not working. I tested the port and it was ok but the attempts to connect w/ the radio failed. Not even the msg new hardware found came up. I was using the KUSB cable (FTDI). I decided to try another cable (PROLIFIC) after delete all old drivers and install it again.. It did recognize the new driver but still no conection w/ the radio. Any clue of what is going on here? Anyone had the same trouble? Any way to test if the radio is damaged ? Everything was turned off and disconected during my trip. Tnx in advance.

Hello Adriano, You didn't say whether you were using FSK D or AFSK A, or what software you were using. I will assume that when you say on the scope you mean on the waterfall in software such as MMTTY. If your radio is in FSK D, then it can receive on any frequency within the filter bandpass, but it can only transmit on one frequency - the one corresponding to the PITCH setting. If you click on a signal in the waterfall to receive it, the frequency you choose in the software's waterfall will probably not be the same as the one the radio will transmit on. If you use the K3's MONitor function to listen to your transmitted signal, you can hear whether the transmitted and received frequencies are the same. Depending on the software you are using and its capabilities, there are advanced methods to use mouse-tuning and AFC in FSK RTTY, but the simplest solution to this problem is never to use clicking in the waterfall to find a signal when you are using FSK. If you are CQing, you can use AFC to let your receiving software tune in callers who come back slightly off-frequency, but when you are planning to call someone else who is CQing you should turn AFC off. In MMTTY, you can use the HAM button to ensure that your receive frequency will be the same as your transmit frequency. You should configure the HAM default to be the same as the radio's PITCH setting. If your radio is in AFSK A, it can transmit on the same frequency it receives on, although the best frequency for both transmitting and receiving is the one in the PITCH setting and the HAM button. If you are using MMTTY software the easiest way to ensure that your transmit and receive frequencies are the same is to turn NET on. With NET on you can safely use mouse-clicking to tune in a signal to work. However, if you are calling CQ you should turn NET off, and use the HAM button before your first transmission to establish your transmit frequency. If the other station comes back off-frequency you can use AFC or a mouse-click to copy the other station's signal, but as soon as the QSO is completed you should click on the HAM button to return to your original transmit frequency. 73, Rich VE3KI PY2ADR wrote: Trying to config k3 on digi modes but i noted a offset between rx and tx ...

What you guys think? It´s not a very free space and i have 90ft from my TX antennas (lowest is 80m band). I´m expecting less noise on the lower bands, and try the diversity rx on K3. What you guys think ? Tnx in advance.

[Elecraft] K3 filter options
I´m going to purchase another K3 unit and just wonder wich filters put on. On the 1st i have: Main rx: 2.7 / 2.1 400hz for cw I use only for serious dx and contesting SSB, starting on CW and thinking about Digi modes. Anyone could tell me if i have better choices changing this filter setup? 73´s and tnx in advance PY2ADR / Z¨Y2C Adriano __ 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
[Elecraft] RES: K3 filter options
Tnx everybody for the answers I´ll for the 2.7 / 1.8 / 400 / 250hz 73´s PY2ADR -Mensagem original- De: Joe Subich, W4TV [mailto:li...@subich.com] Enviada em: segunda-feira, 3 de janeiro de 2011 19:54 Para: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Cc: Adriano Assunto: Re: [Elecraft] K3 filter options Like Dave and Jim I would recommend 2.7/1.8/400/200 along with a 13 KHz (FM) filter if needed. I have tried the 1.5 KHz narrow SSB filter and find to too tight in nearly all conditions ... the 1.8 KHz will be used more often and the 1.5 provides very little added benefits in really crowded conditions. I find the 400 Hz filters (measured bandwidth 420 - 450 Hz) to be significantly better than the 500 Hz, 5 pole filters (measured 480 to 490 Hz) and the 200 Hz filter is a useful narrow filter when needed compared to the 250 Hz filter which measures more than 350 Hz at the - 6dB points. With 2.8/1.8/400/200 Hz, my only wish is that there were three more slots or at least that I could use the 13 KHz filter for AM and ESSB transmit (without resorting to calling the 13 KHz filter a 6 KHz filter). 73, ...

A 1.8 roofer is simply too wide for CW, and there are times when 250 is too narrow. I have never heard a 2.1 roofer in a K3, so can't comment on that. 73, Jim __ 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 __ 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

Nice !!!

In particular, the table is sorted by Narrow Spaced Dynamic Range, and I see that the FT5000 is listed first, but the K3 also gets a 101 in that column, albeit with a pf footnote instead of just an f. I decode these footnotes to be f = Measurement was Phase-Noise Limited And pf = Measurement was Phase-Noise Limited and was with 200 Hz 5-pole filter OK - so why is the FT5000 at the top of the list? Why no indication of what filter was used in the FT5000? What is the second sort column for the table? What puts the FT5000 on top? What does this table really tell us? It seems that both of these receivers are pretty close as many of the numbers are similarly different from those listed below them. When a parameter is higher or lower - which is better? I presume that the higher the narrow-spaced dynamic range, the better, but what about 100kHz blocking (for example). Is higher or lower there better? The K3 is a 140 on that one, and the FT5000 is a lowly 127. The Down-conversion Kenwood 590 gets a 144 in this column - is that better or worse than the K3? But, the 590 only gets an 88 in the narrow-spaced dynamic range, so I guess that means it's much worse? How does one interpret this data? 73, Bob W5OV -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Bil Tippett Sent: Friday, December 31, 2010 6:18 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Latest Sherwood table I wonder how such a high performance filter would work in the K3? Not that its needed in the K3. However in the interest of science, it might be a worthy pursuit. It also might push the K3 well ahead of the FT5000 in ultimate performance. Not very well since it's at 70 MHz. ;-) The Inrad filters are already better than whatever is in the FT5000 since Sherwood measured ultimate rejection in the K3 at 105 dB vs 90 dB for the 5000. 73, Bill W4ZV __ 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 __ 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 __ 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
