[Elecraft] K3 Piglet

[H. Cary]

Santa brought me an iPadAir for Xmas and I'd like to sync it w/ a Piglet 
(Pignology product) for CW and digital modes as shown in Sept. 2013 CQ article 
and to use w/ HamLog. 
The Piglet has an RS-232 male connector and my IPad has a lightening connector 
at the iPad w/ a USB connector at the other end. Surely there must be an 
adapter plug to connect these two varieties (USB/RS-232) but my on-line search 
hasn't found one.

Has anyone on the reflector successfully put together a similar setup and could 
point me in the right direction?

73  Happy New Year,
Cary, K4TM

[Elecraft] Lightening

[H. Cary]

I had a similar event.  It took out my Yaesu rotor and control box, SteppIR 
controler board, and my KAT500.
Like you, my K3 and KPA500 wre A-OK
I sent KAT500 to Elecraft for repair and mine acted just like yours. (you must 
get an authorization # before sending).  It was DOA @ Elecraft and cost of new 
board about equal to a new KAT500 - bummer.
Good luck, I'm installing polyphaser's on SteppIR and new Yaesu rotor control 
lines this week.

I found my interrupter and, yes, pin 10 had been removed - I installed it. 
Unfortunately, my amp still doesn't switch to standby when transmitting while

 Do you have the cable that goes between the K3 and the KPA500?  If so, a 
 15-pin gender changer with yellow tape around it should have been included.  
 Look in the manual for interrupter.  It has pin 10 removed, which I 
 think/believe is the PTT for the KPA500.  By using the interrupter you will 
 have to key the amplifier with the connection you now have through the N8LP 
 relay (I have one too, but I use it to prevent my 87A, my second amplifier, 
 from transmitting when the antenna is tuning.)
  
 Here, I found it on page 20:

  Elecraft Reflector participants:
  If any of y'all use the N8LP tuning relay w/ your K3 and KPA500, I
  appreciate your help.
  My kit went together smoothly and all ohm meter checks A-OK. When I 
  plug the relay into the SteppIR control box the green light comes on.
  I have RCA phono plug cable running from the PTT connection on the
  relay to the PTT In connector on K3 and another from the PA Key on Amp
  to the LOOP plug on Relay box.
  When I key PTT while SteppIR is tuning, KPA500 does not switch to
  standby as I believe it should.
  Obviously I'm doing something wrong.  I even tried the Key Out
  connection on the K3 but that didn't work either.
  Any thoughts would be appreciated!

[Elecraft] K2 and panadapter add-on in CQ

[H. Cary]

K2 Owners-
The new issue of CQ magazine (Oct 2010) has an interesting piece on adding
panadapter capability to a K2, including color photo of the buffer amp
installation.  You can find it on pages 80-81 - under the heading
Repurposing a Softrock - very interesting!

Re: [Elecraft] Wireless SNAFU

[H. Cary]

Thanks to all who were willing to share their knowledge - reasonably  
certain it's a router protocol issue and can be resolved readily.  And

 Hi Cary

 Check to see if your router has an accelorator enabled, such as  
 802.11n which
 your new Compaq can accomodate but unfortunately your older Dell and
 Macbook may not have the facility. If you are comfortable at  
 accessing the settings
 of your router select 802.11g and see if your Dell and Macbook  
 resolve the network.

 Also check that, if using encryption, that you have the correct  
 passphrase / key
 in all the two machines.

 Hopefully others will respond with other possible remedies.

 Subject: [Elecraft] Wireless SNAFU


 Elecraft List Readers:
 I bought a new PC to manage my home wireless network, along with a new
 Verizon modem/wireless router - lighting took the old ones out
 earlier this week but not my K3 and K2 and other radio equipment.
 The new Compaq is much faster than the old computer and runs Windows
 7. The wireless is working and I can connect to the internet from the
 new computer but neither my XYL's MacBook or my HP/laptop can connect
 to the wireelss system. The Geek Squad at BestBuy wasn't much help,
 saying only it happens with Window 7 and the best way to resolve it
 is with a home visit... starting at $149.95!
 I have been to the control panel to trouble shoot the network and
 internet connection but it's unable to diagnose any problem.
 Have any of you experienced a similar problem and , if so, how were
 you able to resolve it?

[H. Cary]

Allow me to weigh in on the personal information issue.  W3FPR did not
post ANY private information, only the name and call sign of another ham -
if it's readily available on the internet, as it is on QRZ.com, it is not
PRIVATE - anyone with a computer can get it for goodness sakes!
I can only speak for myself but I subscribe to the reflector so I can read
W3FPR's postings!  He has helped me on several occasions and I ALWAYS learn
something from his e-mail answers.  This reflector will be a much less
interesting place without him and I hope he will reconsider only taking
questions at his home e-mail addresses.  Perhaps, Wayne and Eric can
convince him to stay - I sure hope so.
Don,  Nolite te bastardes carborundorum!

[Elecraft] K3 and Centurion connection?

[H. Cary III]

I've just gotten a like new TenTec Centurion to replace my Heathkit SB-200. I 
operate 95% SSB and am a bit perplexed about the connection from the K3 to the 
Centurion.  Yes, RF from K3 goes to RF In, that I know; the question is does 
the Key Out go to the PTT/VOX or Key In.  I'm thinking PTT/VOX but I don't want 
to assume and screw this up!  Anyone have this set up that can help? TenTec 
offices are closed at the moment or I'd call them.
BTW, if anyone is interested in an SB-200 in good working condition, please 
contact me off list.
Thanks and 73,
H Cary, K4TM  K3-100 #3491

It is with mixed emotions I bid the reflector a fond farewell.

 

For the past 4 years you have entertained my questions and provided
insightful answers and suggestions.

 

The K# community is unique in the world of amateur radio today.  No where is
so much help and inspiration available for free - in the true amateur
spirit.

 

I must admit, parting with 4991 was not as easy as I thought, but I know it
will prosper in its new home.

 

Alas, I have been co-opted by the dark forces and have once again ventured
into the realm of the rice box.

 

Perhaps there is a K# in my future - who knows?  I do know one thing, for
sure, you will take me back with nary a snicker.

 

73 and thanks for all the fish,

 

Tom, NG3V

[Elecraft] Help! K3 data exit?

[H. Cary III]

I need reflector help!
I love my K3 but it seems to be smarter than I am.  Earlier this week I was 
working PSK-31 on 10 and 15 meters.  Now with the contest this weekend, I want 
to work USB on those bands but the K3 is in DATA Mode and I can't figure out 
how to exit and get USB back on 15 and 10 meters.  I've read the operating 
manual about primary controls on page 13 and about DATA Modes on page 31 but 
still find no reference to how to exit.
I figure it must be simple but it sure has me stumped.
Can anyone help? I'd sure appreciate it!

H,

Have you tapped the MODE button - it should switch between data, SSB,
CW, and AM.
If you come up with the wrong sideband on a particular band, hole the
ALT button to change sidebands.

The DATA mode setup buttons and menu entries switch between the various
types of data mode (DATA A, DATA D. etc.)

[Elecraft] ERR TXG Message es tnx

[H. Cary III]

The reference oscillator is now aligned with WWV - thanks to N0SS, W3FPR, 
DJ7MGQ, and AD7FZ for responding so quickly - Tom talked me through it 
thankfully.

I just did the Transmitter Gain calibration and get an error message - ERR TXG 
- on all bands 160-6.  So after passing all the tests/checks during the build, 
I seem to be alignment challenged  Even more frustrating is the detail on the 
error message in the book says it could affect one or two bands (how about 
ALL?) and indicates a problem with band pass filter alignment or one of the low 
pass filters.  Could one of the J-pin connectors be the first place to look?

BTW, the good news is the receiver in my K3 is absolutely fantastic!  One day, 
it'll all come together...

Greg-
ERR TXG problem resolved.  The problem was the offset on the FL1

everything went like clockwork on the Transmitter Gain Alignment.
Thanks to you and so many others for your helpfulness.

Hh...Did you do it after the REF Oscillator calibration?  Or before it?

AFTER but don't see how that would affect it

Please also check that all the coax connectors are fully seated in the
correct sockets.

I'll do that after I eat some supper

 What filter do you have setup for TX and what slot is it
in?  Is it setup for all bands?

2.5 and it is FL1, all bands

Carey.  You still need to do the TX Gain calibration.  That's what is
causing your error.  Page 46/47 of the manual.  Set power to 5W and hold
TUNE for a couple seconds on ALL BANDS.  Then, if you have the KPA3
installed, you need to do the same for ALL BANDS at 50W.

Let me know how it goes.

The reference oscillator is now aligned with WWV - thanks to N0SS, W3FPR,
DJ7MGQ, and AD7FZ for responding so quickly - Tom talked me through it
thankfully.

I just did the Transmitter Gain calibration and get an error message - ERR
TXG - on all bands 160-6.  So after passing all the tests/checks during the
build, I seem to be alignment challenged  Even more frustrating is the
detail on the error message in the book says it could affect one or two
bands (how about ALL?) and indicates a problem with band pass filter
alignment or one of the low pass filters.  Could one of the J-pin connectors
be the first place to look?

BTW, the good news is the receiver in my K3 is absolutely fantastic!  One
day, it'll all come together...

[Elecraft] K3 question/problem

[H. Cary III]

I hesitate to put this question on the reflector but support at Elecraft is 
closed until Wednesday, Jan. 2 - understandable, they DO deserve some time off!

The assembly of K3-100 (#178) is complete and went very smoothly...all tests 
checked out flawlessly, the filters are properly aligned per the calibration 
instructions (offsets, proper mode, etc).  I have done the frequency 
synthesizer alignment using the zero beat with WWV but when I tune WWV at 10 
MHz, I have to get the dial to about 9.999.92 or so to be right on it.

I have a sked on Sundays with two friends, W5ZNN and WA6EBB, and was hoping to 
have my K3 operational so they'd be my first contacts.  Well, in a sense they 
were but apparently my signal is about 500 hertz higher than my receive 
frequency AND the audio sounds narrow and broken.  I think the problem may be 
with the frequency synthesizer alignment...I used the zero beat method until I 
can get my hands on a frequency counter from some of my more electronically 
astute ham friends...am I looking in the right direction or should I be looking 
somewhere else?

Best New Year Wishes to y'all.

[Elecraft] k3 fan noise - lots of it.

[H. Cary III]

K3-100 #178 went together flawlessly, well almost, but it was smooth.  Was 
missing two standoffs and two screws for the fan assembly on the KPA-100.
When I did the first fan check, the relay or relays clicked but only one 
operated very quietly (short lead) ...disconnected it as instructed, installed 
the KPA-100 module and reconnected the fans  panel per instructions.   Both 
fans operate this time but WOW, is it every loud!  - my wife came in from the 
next room wanting to know what was making the noise.  Her facial reaction when 
she realized it was the K3 clearly said: This is the latest and greatest?

Is it the missing hardware or are others experiencing noisy fans, too? I've got 
to fix this, both for my sanity and to save face!

Thanks for the help and Happy New Year.

[Elecraft] Logging and sailing - PDA?

[H. Cary III]

I'm going to be hamming and sailing in the Caribbean in March (St. Maarten and 
British Virgin Islands) and will take either my K2 or K3 with me.  I logged by 
hand the last trip and don't want to do that again.  I'm not wild about taking 
a laptop either.  Has anyone had any luck with using something like a PDA with 
a logging program and portable keyboard?
Be nice if the K3 had a logging program built into it and a portable keyboard 
for entry but that's wishful thinking!
I expect to hear from Lisa any day now, having ordered on May 2nd...

[Elecraft] K3 status

I'm confused.  I ordered my K3 on May 2nd and I'm reading on this reflector 
that an order on May 4th has been shipped?  What's going on?
My e-mail query to Lisa last Monday has gone unanswered - most unusual - and 
the shipping status note hasn't been updated for some time.
Hopefully the Elecraft team recharged their batteries over Thanksgiving and 
will provide an update in the near future.

[Elecraft] K2 linear

[H. Cary III]

I have a K2-100 that I want to hook up to my recently refurbished Heathkit 
SB-200 linear amplifier. Has anyone already done this and, if so, be willing to 
share the hook up configuration.  I also use the KAT-100 auto antenna tuner but 
may have to by-pass it when using the linear.  Any help will be appreciated as 
the K2 and other modern rigs don't have a readily identifiable ALC and ANT 
RELAY connection.

[Elecraft] TenTec 701 - K2 microphone advice

[H. Cary III]

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K2 microphone advice

Mike, N4JX

When you get the microphone.  Remove the strain relief connector by removing 
the two screws and then remove the very small phillips head screw in the side 
of the connector and twist the shell a 1/4 turn conterclockwise and slip the 
shell back on the cable.  You will find that Pin 1 has a yellow wire and it is 
the mic audio and connects to Pin 1 of the new 8 pin connector.  Pin2 has the 
shield connected to it and is ground.  It connects to pin 8 on the new 
connector.  Pin 3 has a black wire  and it is the PTT line - It connects to Pin 
2 on the new connector.  Pin 4 has a red wire and it is the 5 volts to the 
elecret element and it connects to Pin 6 in the new connector.

  Don's advice is excellent.  I wired my mic connector as he suggests

[Elecraft] K-2 mic query

[H. Cary III]

Fred and Eric-

I went through this a few months ago and got excellent
advice from this reflector.  TenTec sells a hand mic for $28 (the bias
resistor is built in so you don't have to add it to the back of the
front panel).  I bought it and am using it and getting excellent audio
reports.  (Usual disclaimer, I own no part of TenTec, etc).  All I
needed to do was remove the 4-pin connector and replace it with an
8-pin.

If you need the pin wiring diagram, I'd be happy to send it
to you.

Bottom line: you can't beat the price and the performance is
OUTSTANDING.

[Elecraft] K2 #5266 A-OK

[H. Cary III]

K2 #5266 is up and running and that would not have been possible without the 
support from Elecraft - Scott and Gary are so responsive to questions and 
helping me resolve problems I somehow managed to create.  Don, W3FPR, and Tom, 
N0SS, also helped alot along the way.  Fortunately for all of them, some 
problems I avoided by reading the reflector daily!
 
Those who will be adding the SSB mod might like to know - given all the 
postings about mics - that the TenTec 701 hand mic works nicely; the bias 
resistor is built into the mic itself and all you have to do is change the plug 
from a 4-pin to an 8-pin, then follow the KSB instructions.  The TenTec mic 
only costs $28 dollars - a bargain compared to the prices of others I've seen.  
K4ZM is the one who told me about this - he saw my posting - and even sent the 
wiring confguration along, too - thanks, Jim!
 
Thanks, Elecraft, for a great product and for encouraging the wonderful 
comraderie that exists among the Elecraft faithful - it's an added benefit to 
an excellent product.  And the ususual, I have no ownership interest in 
Elecraft or its products - I just get the wonderful benefit of enjoying one of 
them - K2 #5266!

Subject: K2 40 tTr VCO lock


K2 #5266 aligned beautifully after I fixed C-6 which the Cheap 'N Dirty Signal 
Tracer found in about 2 flat.  I had it on the air and made about 100 cw 
contacts before adding some mods:  DSP, SSB, NB, 160 meters and 60 meters. I 
had a problem which was resolved but involved a master reset...so I started on 
a complete re-alignment today.
 
With the exception of the 40 meter band, the VCO alignment went by the book - 
 7000 and 7300 Mhz both read 7.92 volts  and it does not vary as I tune  
between those frequencies.  I have checked the parts which were replaced in 
adding the mods noted above and re-heated C-71 through 75 and D-19  20.  
Hooked it up for testing and it's still a rock solid 7.92 volts on 7000 through 
7300.
 
L-30 is the correct inductor; T5 (wound by Mychael) and D21-26 all worked the 
first time around on the VCO alignment so I doubt there's a problem there.
 
Does anyone on the reflector have any idea where I should look next?  If so, I 
'd appreciate it!

[Elecraft] K2 deaf

[H. Cary III]

K2 #5266 was playing beautifully on cw and I aligned the filters last
night for SSB, had no problems with that alignment. When I finished, I
found my K2 deaf on ALL bands (it transmits just fine!)...The RANT is
OFF, I have good tone with the SPOT feature (yes, I went through the
troubleshooting steps), even went so far as to do a reset...nothing
restored my K2's ears.  Oh, yes, the antenna jack is connected to the
135' dipole and not the dummy load.  

I'm hoping its something really simple but at this point (actually at
1:30am), I'm mighty frustrated.

Anyone have any ideas?

[Elecraft] 40 60 meters K2 #5266

[H. Cary III]

Tom-
  I hate to bother you again but I've encountered another glitch.  After I 
located the problem on 40 meters with your Cheap 'N Dirty Signal tracing (very 
effective!), everything aligned perfectly on all bands.
   This weekend, I installed the 60 meter and 160 meter mods and when I powered 
up my K2 recognized both - that was the good news.  The bad news is I can hear 
no signals on 40 meters and only hiss on 60 but I am clueless as to whether 
there are any signals on that 60 meter band since its so new (all I hear is a 
loud hissing and the same on 40 meters).
   I hooked up my DMM to R30 and get a steady 7.95 volts (a bit above the 7.5 
max in the manual but within 10%...the voltage does not change whether I am on 
7000, 7300, 5300 or 5450it doesn't budge - a steady 7.95 volts
   I tried aligning L30 on transmit and can't get above .3 volts on the power 
meter (that's point 3 volts).  Aligning L30 on receive is equally as 
disappointing - the audio his doesn't vary in intensity at all.
   On 160, my receive antennna (R ant) menu is on off so that's not an issue. 
 I hear signals on 160 and the voltages on alignment are 1.85 volts at 1800 Mhz 
and 6.85 at 2000 Mhz.  I'm fairly confident the 160 mod is not the problem (but 
next time I'll install one mod at a time and align before doing the next!  But 
I did have to take the heat sink off to install both so it made sense at the 
time).
   I have checked J15 and I have continuity between pins 1 and 3 (that replaced 
C-6 which was my original problem with being deaf on 40 meters).
   At this point, I'm tempted to remove the 60 meter mode and replace some RF 
Board components to put it back to the original state but I hate to throw in 
the towel so easily.
   Have you any ideas?

[Elecraft] toroidguy

[H. Cary III]

Harvey-

I used toroids wound by Mychael, the toroid guy, and he
does excellent work.  K2 #5266 aligned per spec's and I'm glad he enjoys
what I find the most onerous part of kit building!  I highly recommend
him!  His service is fast, too!

[Elecraft] K2 microphone advice

[H. Cary III]

I need some help/advice.  I have completed K2 #5266 and want to use it on SSB, 
as well as cw.  The MH2 hand mike offered by Elecraft/Heil is no longer 
available and I don't want to use a head mounted mike with earphones which is 
the only other alternative through Elecraft/Heil.
 
I admit I'm probably spoiled by the plug 'n play hand  mikes I've used with 
previous Kenwood/Icom rigs and I'd really like something like that to use with 
my K2.  If the Elecraft/Heil MH2 were still available I wouldn't be asking for 
help but it's not. 
 
 What do others of you use?  Also, does it need to be a mike with any special 
features?
 
The guys in Elecraft support have been great to work with but I thought I'd 
start here since its after 5pm on the west coast.

[Elecraft] K-2 #5266

[H. Cary III]

K-2 #5266 is up and running per specs...many thanks to Tom, N0SS for responding 
to my cry for help - his 'Cheap and Dirty Signal Tracing' article really saved 
the day for me.  ARRL DX contest is on and first contacts with 10 watts were a 
PJ2, F2, and DL4..
 
Thanks to this reflector I've learned a lot just reading!  To those still 
building, keep at it - it's well worth it!

[Elecraft] K-2 deaf @ K4TM

[H. Cary III]

K-2 #5266 is coming along nicely, everything checks out in alignment until the 
40-meter Band Pass Filter Alignment on page 64it's deaf on 20-40-80 
meters (but the 3Y0X pileup on 30 meters is LOUD)

*   RF Gain is at max
*have 3.90 volts on U2, pin 5
*by-pass jumpers are installed at the proper places
*   AF gain is all the way up
*   plenty of audio on all the alignments (until now on 40 meters) 
*30 meters signals REALLY STRONG (see above)
*   no apparent cold solder joints or unsoldered points

I read the postings today about a K-2 being deaf on 40 (OE6?) and even checked 
X6 (which fixed  his problem) but to no avail

Advice, suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks  73,

H Cary,  K4TM

[Elecraft] Elecraft question

[H. Cary III]

Ron,

 

I bought a soldering station from Circuit Specialists in AZ and, as the
order was more than $50, I got a FREE Digital Multi-Meter - it does a
good job and I get the same readings I do from my BK 2707A (cost me
about $80 a year ago from Mouser but it reads capacitance, and
transistor gain which the FREE DMM doesn't). FREE is good and the
performance is A-OK.

 

I also picked up the needle nose pliers and flush cut pliers (sized for
circuit board work) at Home Depot for about $12 and they're great...got
all of this info from reading the building tips link on the Elecraft
site.

 

Am well along with K2-100, S/N # 5266a fantastic kit and well done
in all respects.

 

Good luck, hope you'll join the fray!

 

73,

H Cary, K4TM
