[Elecraft] K3, KAT500, KPA500 Beta Updates

2014-02-10 Thread Bill W
Just wanted to pass along that I have downloaded all the "Beta" updates for
the K3, KAT500 and KPA500 and all works well. I worked some the contest this
weekend with no issues. The KAT500 does search a bit more often but seems to
find a better match condition in the process which is good in my book.
With all the concerns recently expressed, I just wanted to pass along some
positive praise to the Elecraft folks.
Thanks,
Bill - W0BBI

[Elecraft] K3 - Remote activation of KAT500 via HRD

2014-01-16 Thread Bill W
Hi All,
I have a question to ask this group as perhaps someone already has the
answer. The situation is as follows. I use HRD (Ham Radio Deluxe) to run my
K line (K3, P3, KPA500, KAT500) remotely once in a while. The “Tune” button
on the HRD's simulated "Radio Face" works fine in initiating the tune cycle
for the K3 internal ATU. However, when the internal ATU is bypassed, it will
not initiate the tune cycle for the KAT500. I am sure what is needed is a
code line change in the HRD code sequence for the "Tune” button but I have
no idea where to look for the appropriate sequence to use. I think I found
where to make the change in HRD.
Any insight would be appreciated.
73,
Bill – W0BBI

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Loss of signal - What an outstanding company!

2013-11-20 Thread Bill W
I just received a note from Howard K6IA in Customer Support at Elecraft.
He wanted to confirm my address so they can send me a replacement 
BNC cable. I did not request one nor had I contacted Elecraft about the
issue directly.
Can anyone name any other company that would take the initiative 
like that based on some exchanges on a reflector page? I think not!

What an Outstanding Company Elecraft is, but of course, we all knew that
already!!!

Thanks Howard and thanks Elecraft!!!

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Loss of signal

2013-11-20 Thread Bill W
Hi George, Charlie

Thanks George as your comment about BNC center pins was a new learning.
Since I was using cables from Elecraft, that would have never crossed my
mind. 
I did change cables and all appears to be back to normal for now. I checked
the center pin to pin on the cable I removed and it is loose on one end.
Can't imagine what caused it to just fail.  Now it is just matter of getting
a good permanent replacement cable.

Thanks Charlie for the tip as well.

Thanks again,
Bill - W0BBI

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Loss of signal

2013-11-19 Thread Bill W
Hi Don,
Thanks for the reply. Yes that crossed my mind but the cable I use now was
suppose to be from the "new" batch. I called and got replacement from
Elecraft Parts after earlier problem. I think this cable has been in use for
better than a year or more and nothing has changed. I will switch cables as
soon as I can find or make a new one. I was just curious if anyone else had
a similar problem crop up. 
Thanks again,
Bill - W0BBI

[Elecraft] P3 Loss of signal

2013-11-19 Thread Bill W
Recently, I have noticed that after a switching bands or simple setting ideal
for while just listing, my P3 & SVGA screen signals drop off to almost a
flat line. After simply giving the IF BNC connector a light tap, everything
returns to normal.
I replaced the IF jumper with a replacement unit from Elecraft sometime ago
so I assume it is a good.
Anyone else had a similar experience?
Thanks,
Bill

Re: [Elecraft] Writing K3 Control Add-in for Windows4P3 and need some advice

2013-03-25 Thread Bill W
Hi,
You may want to consider adding the "Delay" adjustment.
I use mine in CW depending on whether I operate  QSK or not.
Of course it also is used to adjust VOX delay I believe. 
Also the "Mon" (monitor) function might be of value.
Good Luck

Re: [Elecraft] K3/100 PA Removal

Roger,
Have you checked the Elecraft website and reviewed the K3 assembly manual
that is available on-line.
It should provide all the information you need to successfully remove the PA
unit. It has quit a few illustrations for reference.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Suggestion - Remember Frequency per Band Mode

2012-08-26 Thread Bill W
This might be a very later reply but it you use the "K3 / KX3 Frequency
Memory Editor" software available off the Elecraft Website, to make loading
both Frequency and Mode starting points for each band a breeze. You can then
just hold M>V and your memory detail/discription will be shown on the VFO B
window. You can then use VFO A to select the band segment and mode you
loaded. Then tap M>V and you are there.
