Re: [Elecraft] K4 Ethernet interface

[Henk Remijn PA5KT via Elecraft]

The K4 is accessible through telnet on port 9200.

No security.

It is always a good idea to have security but I would prefer to have the 
telnet without security and put the security in the network.


Make sure you have a good firewall between the internet and your radio 
equipment. Dont trust your internet provider. Always put a firewall 
between your internetprovider firewall/router en your home network.

Dear all,

I have tried to look at the K4 Programmers manual, and it remains

the commands is wonderful to have, and that part is nicely documented. 
I understand that the real time streaming parts is not done yet, but 
just being able to do the normal commands would be a step in the right 
direction.


I do hope that there is fair security of SSH/TLS level, as we run this 
over network. For real-time streaming, look at RIST.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 - stacking possibilites

 I've found some very handy open-shelving bamboo shoe racks at CostCo that
 are doing the job for me.  My amplifier is about 2 inches above the K3. The
 rack is wide enough for a K3, P3, and another box such as a rotator
 controller or a US Interface Navigator.  The 2nd shelf hosts a second K3 and
 a KPA500.  The top shelf has two speakers and various junk that I gather.

 I've found these racks so useful that I have 5 or 6 of them.  I can hold QSL
 boxes on them and some plastic shoe boxes that hold various projects.  I
 have a lot of little projects and boxes.

 Now that I have received confirmation of the delivery, I need finalize where

 inches wide), I wonder if the K3 can be stacked on top of the KPA500. I
 undertand from earlier posts that there needs to be a minimum half inch
 clearance on top of the KPA500 for the air intake grill. Has any FTer
 stacked the two boxes to see if they work without generating too much heat?

 My XYL wanted me to wait until I repainted the downstairs, hung a new

 Yes, that's how much I wanted a K3!

 No.  

 You might get lucky with a complicated set-up;  set Radio to 
 No Radio, use only one CAT port, set the K3 to 38,400 bps and 
 set the K3 Utility to keep speed at 38,400 bps.  However, the 
 chance of errors is so high that it is not worth the risk. 

 I keep a real serial port/cable handy for firmware updates and

 I download the zip file from the Elecraft web site using the web browser
 Firefox and save it in a beta folder. I have pretty much all the beta
 firmware there in the original zip format.

 Then I remove the 8 or so files from the zipped one with Winzip (I know
 Windows will now extract those files but I have a paid for Winzip and it
 works better) and extract the contents of the latest zip file to that
 same folder. My K3 Utility points to that folder and sees the latest
 available firmware.

 The process is relatively straightforward and means I have currently 50
 versions of earlier firmware I can refer back to with out difficulty.
 Yes, it's a bit computery but it works 100% for me with Windows XP Pro
 and I checked with another K3 owner who has Vista and he says it works
 fine on zipped betas for him too (although he also has Winzip). Not
 having Winzip shouldn't be a problem...

Re: [Elecraft] LP-Pan vs K3 unit

[Henk Remijn PA5KT]

This all would be nice, but as I want just 1 keyboard and 1 mouse I also
would like to have the possibility to run all my apps on this box.
N1MM
HRD
Several propagation and logging progams.

Etc etc.

Hmmm, this sounds like a complete computer?

I think I keep it with my LP-PAN and spend the money on improvement of
my pc.

What you want depends on what you do and how you work. I do a lot of
contesting on HF and I am interested in weak signal reception on VHF and
higher.
For the contesting I need a complete integration with my logging progam,
point and click. For weak signal a display of the whole IF is nice, but
what I need is simultaneous detection of all the signals I see. And  I
want this info in my  software.
No external PAN adapter for me.

 Typically
 when changing from 300 watts to 250, I would see 180 out on first
 transmission, which would creep toward 250 during the transmission.  
 This
 is what show on my amp PO meter, so it is somewhat less than a  
 precision
 measurement.

 ...

 Is this normal, perhaps ALC related, or a problem.

Re: [Elecraft] CCFL and Ballast

[Henk Remijn PA5KT]

Interesting to see the calculations. I pay around € 0.22/kWh. Purchase 
prices are about the same as in the USA.
Dont know what other prices are in EU, but for us it is more interesting 
to not use the old light bulbs.

In some countries it is forbidden to sell the old light bulb.

A few months ago, I looked at the power consumption and radiated 
interference from a typical inexpensive CCFL. Also disassembled the 
lamp to look at the ballast PCB.

[Elecraft] Re: High cost shipping on low cost articles

[Henk Remijn PA5KT]

As from Dec. 1st the allowed amount will be EURO 150 if you order 
something outside the EU.
If you take it with you when entering the EU you can bring a total of 
EURO 450 without paying custom duties or VAT.


Now it is EURO 22 and EURO 150.

If you have to pay VAT you pay it over the value of the goods + the 
shipping costs. Plus add the handling by the customs agent. This is 
usually between Euro 15 and 20.

And the effect of Ebay... But it is a real problem for us overseas

Many firms will not ship abroad at all and others insist on using 
expensive
couriers, even for items only costing a few $. My recent problem 
trying to
get a 15-way cable for example. It would cost $10 for the cable and 
$60 to

ship it, and that is before customs charges.


In that example, shipping in a jiffy bag would have avoided the 
customs and customs clearance charges as well, as you are currently 
allowed GBP 18 including shipping costs (I believe this is going up to 
around GBP 100 at the end of the year).


Incidentally, for someone in the UK, I have found that Germany is a 
good place to source accessories.  UK vendors seem not to advertise 
small accessories, or ones for older models.  The German vendors don't 
seem to fall into the everything gets courier prices trap.  The one 
downside is that some of them do not take plastic, but expect a Euros 
bank transfer.  That immediately adds GBP 15 to the cost.  I did find 
one that had the parts I wanted and did take plastic/Paypal.  There 
are no customs duties for imports, to the UK, from Germany.  You do 
have to pay VAT, but that is paid as part of the price to the vendor.


I believe Elecraft will ship small items by cheap methods, but it 
would help if they actually provided details on the web site, even 
though they may well not charge the international courier rates for 
them.  I'm reluctant to consider any of the small kits on add ons 
because I don't know the shipping cost (I'm also waiting for the 
customs exemption limits to rise).
