[Elecraft] K3 Getting AFSK RTTY mode to Stick
Has anyone experienced this? I have tested using DXLabs Commander directly and through LPBridge, N1MM direct and through LPB and the results are the same. Put the rig into AFSK A 45 BPS using the software, check data mode using the DATA MD button and it is correct. Press AB button twice, the frequency is transferred but the A B all never comes up. Swap operating VFOs and the mode is now DATA A, swap operating VFO's again (Should now have the original frequency and mode of AFSK A 45 BPS) the mode is now DATA A. Further testing reveals that this will occur just by changing VFOs using the A/B button. If you set the mode using DATA MD and the VFO B knob then Press AB button twice the frequency and mode is transferred to the B. More testing shows that changing the mode using DATA MD and the VFO B Knob actually changes the mode in both VFOs/Receivers. I then tried setting the mode in both VFOs using the following commands in a DXLabs Commander Macro. (The PC020 is to give me 20Watts output) 'k31;md$6;dt$1;bw$0040;is$2210;md6;dt1;bw0040;is2210;PC020; This sets the VFO A to AFSK A 45 BPS, if I put the VFO B/Sub receiver commands second then VFO A resets to DATA A. Please what am I doing wrong? I would like to be able to select RTTY and have both VFOs in AFSK A 45 BPS. Please no responses saying I should be using FSK.

[Elecraft] [K2] Has the k2 a future - not if you use Li-Po cells!
Hi Guys I have a mate, Ian VK3FFLY, who is into flying radio controlled models using Li-Po cells and they are very careful about the way they charge them - always in a metal box (not the radio cabinet!). Several of them have had fires from charging these cells. Ian suggests you have a look at http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=209187 Ian's son-in-law had a house fire in the last couple of months from a charging Li-Po - luckily he was home and the smoke alarm worked so he just had damage to the one room.

Klotz Jr WA5ZNU le...@wa5znu.org Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2009 11:15:58 -0700 (PDT) To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Johnny, Do you have pictures posted? I remember when you started this project and I'd like to see how it worked out. Presonally I lean more toward LiFePO4; although they have a lower energy density than the Li-Po (though higher power density) they reportedly are safer in conditions of over/under charge and mechanical stress.

I now have 3 x 3.7v 3300mAH Li-Po cells in the KBT2 and they work very well. 73 Johnny VR2XMC __ 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

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Power variations in K3 / 3.19
I suggest that you make sure that you have run the Calibrate Transmitter gain in the configuration section of the Elecraft K3 Utility. That fixed an issue I had that was similar to yours.

My favorite workaround is to change mode to data FSK, switch to dummy load, then press PTT for a couple of seconds. Back to SSB and I have full talk power immediately. __ 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
