Re: [Elecraft] [P3] SVGA Option: transmitted text not visible on external display

[Charles R.Tropp via Elecraft]

Hi Adrian,
The only way to view transmitted cw on the P3 transmit window would be by using 
an USB keyboard plugged into the rear of the P3. Paddles will not work. 73,

Re: [Elecraft] K3 with Signalink or MRP40

[Charles R.Tropp via Elecraft]

Gerald,
I assume you are using MRP40 to decode CW. Are you saying that it does not 
decode at all? Or just some of the time? What are your settings on the Signal 
Link and in the MRP40 software tab for the Soundcard? 73, Charles N2SO

 Gerald,

The Signalink is nothing more than a soundcard.
Have you plugged the Signalink output into the Line-in jack on the K3? 
Make certain the plug is fully inserted.
Then go into DATA A mode and set the MIC SEL menu to LINE.
Adjust the MIC Gain (now LINE IN gain) to produce 4 bars solid with the 
5th bar flashing on the ALC meter - You can do that is TX TEST mode so 
you do not transmit RF.
If the MIC GAIN is 'touchy' and at a very low level, go to the computer 
and adjust the soundcard level lower.  Normally a soundcard level of 
about 75% is workable - too low and the S/N ratio is bad and too high 
the soundcard can overload.

Unfortunately, you cannot have P3 commands stored in a K3 macro.  You can have 
K3 commands stored in a P3 macro, though.  So to do what you would like, you 
need to store the macro one of the 50 P3 macro locations and then assign it to 
one of the P3 function keys.The reason it works from the Utility is that the 
serial communication path to the K3 is through the P3 and so the P3 acts on its 
commands.
(And just to be a bit pedantic, I think it is better to not call K3 macros Kpod 
macros.  The Kpod doesn't store any macros.  It just provides an additional 16 
function keys that activate the 16 macro storage locations in the K3.)

Although it works fine in the K3 Utility Tester, itdoes not work in the KPod.

Re: [Elecraft] Computer Keyboard and P3/SCGA

[Charles R.Tropp via Elecraft]

Hi Ted,
Not all keyboards will work on the P3/SVGA. I would find out first if your 
proposed keyboard will work by seeing if the K appears on the bottom right of 
your screen when you have the data mode switched on. Even if it does, there is 
no guarantee that once you insert a switching mechanism in line  that it will 
continue to work. Apparently, the USB port on the P3 does not come with 
standard USB software which is why only "dumb" keyboards can work. 73, Charles

 Need help figuring out what may be an elementary problem with a computer and 
the P3/SVGA.
Here's my objective:  I would like to use a single wireless keyboard  / mouse 
both to operate the text functions on the P3/SVGA, and to enter data into the 
computer itself.  While operating I like to switch my monitor back and forth 
between the P3 and the Internet.  That's easy enough, with a DB15 switch box.  
But I can't get the keyboard to mate simultaneously with two of the USB 
receivers (or whatever those little things are called) - one in the USB port of 
the P3, and the other in a USB port of the computer itself.
I am using a new Logitech keyboard and mouse, each of which came with a USB 
receiver.  Logitech has an app that allows up to six devices to communicate 
with a single receiver - e.g., keyboard, mouse, and whatever else through one 
receiver into the computer.  But when I mate the keyboard to the receiver 
plugged into the P3, it no longer communicates with the receiver in the 
computer, and vice versa.  In other words, I can mate multiple interface 
devices with one receiver, but I can't mate two receivers with one device.
That makes good sense.  If it were otherwise, it would likely cause no end of 
chaos in a multiple-computer environment.  But it leaves me with the question - 
is there a way to use one keyboard switched on the fly with the P3/SVGA and the 
computer itself?

Ted, KN1CBR

This is small and inexpensive:

You can find it on Amazon for $19.00. Anything similar would work just as well. 
I agree with the others. Stay away from elaborate keyboards that have USB ports

Re: [Elecraft] Trump's a bigot - Hillary's a crook!!

[Charles R.Tropp via Elecraft]

Hi Russ,
I am not sure what problem you perceive in the failure of the SP3 to amplify 
it's signal allowing you to individually change it's volume setting. As some 
say, "this is a feature - not a bug" as it prevents possible RFI interference 
from a nearby transmitted signal. Volume on the K3 is controlled by the AF 
knob. Is this not all you need? I mostly work CW and use my headphones for that 
purpose. But sometimes, I am doing something else and would rather just listen 
to the speaker. I rarely adjust he AF knob and yet, I can hear CW throughout 
the house when the speaker is on. I use my K Pod to instantly switch between 
headphones only or headphones and speaker. All this is controlled by the  
configuration menu settings.  I think you will enjoy the SP3 Russ, and if you 
buy two you can have stereo!

Here is an on-topic question - thanks!!


I currently feed a powered speaker with the constant line output of my K3. I 
can individually adjust that speaker's volume locally and the HP volume on the 
K3.

I'm contemplating the purchase of an SP-3.  As this speaker is unpowered, I 
will have to use the K3 power amp and am afraid that I will lose the individual 
volume control versatility I have.

If this is the case - would it be possible to repurpose the sub-rx (I don't 
have one) AF gain "ring" to control the speaker amp level.  My understanding is 
that the speaker out and HP out's are fed by separate DAC's.

Thanks, Russ KD4JO

Re: [Elecraft] K-Pod Tuning rate

[Charles R.Tropp via Elecraft]

Hi Art,
Wayne already answered this question:
"The K3 and K3S both use all 400 counts of the VFO A and B encoders (100 
pulses/track/revolution). 

The K-Pod defaults to 200 counts. During our testing we found that this 
provided the best compromise between precision and "fussiness" for typical 
K-Pod operations.

We plan to add a function to K-Pod Utility (which itself isn't quite ready yet) 
that will allow the user to change this to 100/200/400.

 Hi all, 


Enjoying the K-Pod immensely. When using to control VFOs, I notice that the 
K-Pod changes frequency at exactly 50% of the setting used on the main VFOs. 
For example, with 200 CTS on VFO A, the frequency changes 2 Khz per revolution. 
Using the K-Pod, the QSY is only 1 Khz per revolution.


It would seem to be more logical if both changed frequency at the same rate. 
How can this be accomplished?

 Hi Bill,

At the Shelby Hamfest, 2015 I ordered the entire K-Line, Amp, KAT500, K3s and 
Elecraft P3 along with the filters they suggested. I received the shipment in 
late September. Took inventory of all parts as they recommended. I started with 
the receiver and finished with KPA500 amplifier. It was not difficult and took 
about three weeks in spare time. It worked when finished but had one minor 
issue after I started using it. It turned out the reference oscillator was 
defective and would drift after the K3s warmed up and would stop receiving. A 
little trouble shooting with help from the factory soon had another reference 
oscillator on the way. I have probably worked a 100 new countries since then. 
About the only things you need to buy are a muffin tin to hold the small parts. 
Several new screwdrives for the small screws and a static mat with wrist clip. 
No soldering, just a lot of small screws, nuts, washers and lock washers. My 
age is 78.
