Hi all,

On 6 m, everyone uses grid squares when reporting their QTH. Is there a web 
tool or spreadsheet available somewhere that allows you to conveniently keep 
track of which ones you?ve worked?

Thanks,

Re: [Elecraft] KPOD RIT/XIT

[Frank Westphal]

Don,

Turned off VFO OFS, but the XIT/RIT tuning from the K-POD is still erratic.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Frank,

I don't have the K-Pod to try it, but there may some strange 
relationship between your K3 setting of VFO OFS.  Try turning VFO OFS 
to OFF and see if the K-Pod RIT/XIT selection adjusts RIT properly.


If that fixes it, of course that is likely a bug, but at least you 
will know what is causing it.
I have not heard any other reports of abnormal behavior with the K-Pod 
and RIT/XIT, and I have monitored the K-Pod Field Test comments.

will tune some but not consistently.  Turning the RIT/XIT control 
from the front panel of the K3 works normally.


VFO A and VFO B respond to turning the knob on the K-POD normally.

With the rocker switch in XIT/RIT position on the K-POD and the K3 
RIT/XIT function turned off then the K-POD tuning knob adjusts VFO A 
in coarse mode.  This is normal for the way I have the K3 programmed.


I assume this must be a bug in the 5.50 beta firmware which I have 
installed.


As a side note installing the surface mount resister in the K3 is not 
for those inexperienced in micro soldering.

[Elecraft] KPOD RIT/XIT

[Frank Westphal]

I have noticed one issue with my K-POD.

When I move the rocker switch to RIT/XIT on the K-POD and turn the 
RIT/XIT function on from the front panel of my K3 spinning the knob on 
the K-POD does not reliability change the value of the RIT/XIT. It will 
tune some but not consistently.  Turning the RIT/XIT control from the 
front panel of the K3 works normally.


VFO A and VFO B respond to turning the knob on the K-POD normally.

With the rocker switch in XIT/RIT position on the K-POD and the K3 
RIT/XIT function turned off then the K-POD tuning knob adjusts VFO A in 
coarse mode.  This is normal for the way I have the K3 programmed.

[Elecraft] Split N/A

[Frank Westphal]

Every time I change modes from CW to RTTY or RTTY to CW I get the Split 
N/A error message.  I do not get this message when changing modes from 
CW to SSB or SSB to CW.   Since I am primarily a DXer who works split 
having to change from split operation before mode change and then change 
back to split operation requires a whole lot of button pushing.  This is 
extremely annoying almost to he point of considering selling the K3.  
Elecraft told me this was for my own protection.  I don't need a company 
to tell me this is for my own protection and not willing to make a 
product easy to operate.  I hope someone out there is radio land has a 
firmware fix for this annoying issue.  Otherwise I have enjoyed 
operating the K3 for the last year.


Thanks in advance.

[Elecraft] Sub Receiver RTTY Decode

[Frank Westphal]

I am using a Navigator interface with an Elecraft K3.  The Navigator is 
connected to the K3 with a factory made cable.  The system works great 
on channel one with HRD/MMTTY/MixW software.
I would like to be able to decode RTTY received on VFO B of the K3 when 
working DX split.  The K3 line out has the right channel as VFO B audio 
and the Navigator cable has a wire for channel 2.  I have tried MMTTY 
selecting the right channel on the options misc menu.  I have also tried 
MixW using the /2 parameter when launching the program for 2 channel 
operation.  HRD shows a left and right channel on the sound card screen 
but I don't see any way to set it in the program options.
No matter what program or options I try adjusting, the channel 2 control 
on the Navigator does not cause the audio on channel 2 to increase from 
zero.  I don't know if the Navigator channel 2 is broken or if I am 
missing something in the setup or is it just not possible to do what I 
am trying to do.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who have successfully set up a 
Navigator and K3 to decode RTTY from VFO B on channel 2.

73,
Frank

[Elecraft] Rose's Covers Cases Gift Certificate

[Frank Westphal]

I won a $50 dollar gift certificate from Rose's Covers  Cases at the 
2011 Visalia International DX Convention Top Band Dinner.  I can not use 
the certificate and speaking to Rose at the convention she suggested 
someone else in the Elecraft community could redeem the certificate as 
it is transferable.  (My name is not on the certificate).   If 
interested please email me directly with an offer.

Thanks for reading this post.
