Re: [Elecraft] [Dx4win] FW: Can't interface Dx4win to K3
Bob, Bryan,Thank you for response. Runs normally until I select a spot which should send the info to the K3. I can see updated spots in the spot window. Selecting a spot disables the radio interface. Although it resumes indicating incoming spots. FRUSTRATING. I believe it is independent of the LP Bridge because I have connected a native port #1 straight through to the K3 with same result.Howard k2hkals...@nc.rr.com Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2014 16:32:52 -0400 From: rflytieanth...@frontier.com To: dx4...@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] FW: [Elecraft] Can't interface Dx4win to K3 I am using lp bridge and having trouble staying connected to dx4win also.

[Elecraft] XG3 cable
Conclusion to lost (?) XG3 cable. With the pinout supplied by Dave, G3GJP, and some junk that I had in the shack I was able to make up the XG3 cable. The probable cause of my dilemma and solution was TOO MUCH JUNK in the shack. Think I'll spend the $30 bucks on dinner tonight.

I think they have only model, but I don't have the model number in my head. I'll look it up when I get home. It supports two serial ports as you can see in the pictures. Note that the serial connection over the Lantronix and is my sole control of the box (other than disconnecting the extension cord for power). No Aux bus. I don't find this terribly limiting. Maybe somebody can find a way to make a bridge between the Aux bus and a serial port. The shiny box contains a homemade duplexer with a split frequency of 10MHz. It is currently used to feed an 80m and a 15m antenna from port 3 (the common port is on the back of the box and you can see the port 3 cable looping around to the back). It's working very nicely.

It can be used while taking a walk or taking a vacation. It can be thrown into a briefcase when you go on a business trip. It can be taken with you to a nursing home or to an assisted living facility. It can be taken to Field Day and run off solar power. It can be taken with you while you're waiting in the car for your wife to do her shopping - how long does that take? It can be used in all these situations and more yet not sacrifice any features you may want or need at any time. You may not be able to have an antenna to transmit in all these cases but you can always connect a length of wire and listen. Many hams have multiple radios for different purposes, but most of us can't afford to do that. So for those who can only afford one radio and so needs it to serve them in many different ways, the KX3 would seem to be just the radio they need to have.

[Elecraft] possible cataclysmic blow to amateur radio
Is the following an urban legend or has it some validity? I do not subscribe to CQ mag so can not confirm its appearance there. If true it would be a cataclysmic blow to amateur radio. Fellow Amateur Radio Operators, If you don't subscribe to CQ magazine, in the April Issue (pg 28) is an article that is a bit disturbing. The article was written by Professor Emil Heisseluft who is currently in Geneva, Switzerland, consulting with his European colleagues at the Large Hadron Collider on his specialty, the Higgs bosom. Professor Heisseluft obtained this information while on a trip to Washington, DC and the halls of congress. I will give you a short recap. Draconian cuts in the federal budget for FY2012 portend significant staffing cuts in the FCC that will drastically impact the Amateur Radio and Amateur Satellite Services. Among other things, operators using the 160-6 meter bands will be limited to operating on odd or even days of the week, depending on the numeral in their callsign. If the number is even you get even numbered days and odd, odd number days. New-issue vanity callsigns will become a thing of the past along with special event callsigns. The wait time for reissuance of a callsign for a Silent Key will be extended from two to five years. This will be imposed without the usual Notice of Proposed Rule Making because of the emergency nature of the matter. Interesting. When this goes into effect I would not be able to talk to another Ham Radio Operator in the U.S. with an odd callsign. Emergency communications on HF would become a problem along with HF net activities. __ 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

Hi Chris, I may be one of the least qualified to answer ur question but having recently done that I thought I would let you know it was a piece of cake. They go together like toast and jam ( you see what I have on my mind these days). Depending on ur logging program there are variations but all is explained very clearly in the help files. My station is of medium complexity with some switching that is unique to my situation. With a lot of thought and help from memebers of the Microham reflector it went together veery well. You mention the Virtual ports. That is an area that has been problematical for me in the past and was of some concern before I started. It turned out to be extremely easy with no problems at all.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 wish list
Alan, Thank you for considering it. I do think it may have value beyond equalization, eg. signal width, etc. I can understand your reluctance as you describe the pitfalls. I certainly wouldn't feel bad about waiting for a better implementation. Possibly after the effects of your turkey dinner wears off it will be replaced with a new energy to update:-). Kudos for the very nice job you all have done so far. I didn't jump right in on this one because I didn't think it of sufficient value for me but I am very pleasantly surprised at the result. An excellent station accessory. 73 and Happy Thanksgiving to all, Howard..K2HK Unless you change microphones or operators, transmit audio equalization should be pretty much a set and forget type calibration. I'm a little nervous about making this an official feature, because the signal level is not well-controlled. It depends on stray leakage through a balanced mixer and blow-by past a couple of PIN diode switches. If the mixer in a particular K3 happens to be very well balanced or the PIN diodes have extra-low capacitance, there may not be enough signal level to adjust the equalizer properly. It also depends on frequency band and transmit power level. There may be a better way to do this. It's on my list of things to look at as soon as I get time.

[Elecraft] 4.21 APF impressions
Been playing with the new 4.21 release for a few hours. My impressions of the APC is it is an excellent addition to the CW op's tools. Smoothly boosts the weak signal out of the noise. Thanks to both Elecraft and the reflector members who pushed for this refinement. Although we might get tired of seeing similar posts urging a wanted addition it sure is beneficial when the results are like this one. The only change I note on SSB is that I can turn my gain down to 5~6 with a Yamaha CM500(?) It was previously at ~19. One other note I can't hear any difference if I am using High or Low bias.

[Elecraft] K3..Power Poles and my bad,very bad
I had a very senior moment yesterday related to PowerPoles and could use some help. The power supply that my K3 is powered by has an auxiliary cigar lighter outlet.

In that case it will be limited by the isolation in the KAT3. The alternative is to use the subreceiver and Aux Ant jack with AB logic for transmitting. That case will require an entirely new band decoding/BPF/antenna switching topology - one that supports TX/RX/RX switching (which happens to be on of the features of microHAM Station Master Deluxe whenever it is finally available) and an understanding that the transmit radio will always be in the left ear (e.g. will move with transmit focus).

The K3 already suffers from ergonomic overload and lack of flexibility with antenna selection, audio routing, etc. even when just using diversity in SO1R.

[Elecraft] Problem with EXT ALC
I agree entirely Jim. Don't remember the last time I had an amp that required EXT ALC let alone didn't warn against using it. But this manufacturer strongly recommends it and cautions against not using it. I guess I am a believer in follow the manufacturer's recommendation.at least while in warrantee. The amp does have built in protection so perhaps this a case of suspenders and a belt. Howard..K2HK Jim Brown, K9YC wrote: It is VERY rare for a modern power amp to REQUIRE ALC. The proper way to drive an amp is to use the transceiver's power control to set the drive level sufficient to get the desired output from the amplifier. ALC should be used only as a safety to protect the amplifier in those conditions when something goes wrong -- perhaps an antenna or antenna tuner fails, the feedline shorts, etc. What do I mean by modern power amp? Well, the manuals for my Ten Tec tube and solid state amps, written in the early 80's, specifically state that their ALC function should not be used to set the drive power, but that the method I described is the right way to do it. With many power amps, using ALC to set the drive power will generate clicks and other trash. 73, Jim Brown K9YC __ 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] ext ALC problem
Don, The output of the K3 decreases regardless of whether it is attached to amp or not when ALC is turned on. At this point I believe the problem to be in the area of the digital I/O board. If (when) I decide to use the external ALC I will check it out. Howard HK From: w3...@embarqmail.com Howard, It sounds like the ALC voltage coming out of your amplifier is much greater than the K3 ALC input range. The ALC voltage from your amplifier is reducing the K3 power output. I believe the problem is with the amplifier, not the K3. Remove the ALC connection to your amplifier, then using the K3 power control, slowly increase the drive to your amplifier while measuring the voltage being developed at the amplifier's ALC output. It should be zero or very close to zero until the amplifier comes near its power limit. If the voltage at the amplifier is in excess of the ALC threshold you have set on the K3, then the K3 will reduce power. In other words, if you want to set the K3 ALC Threshold at -4 volts, adjust the amplifier's ALC circuits to produce -4 volts when the amplifier's power limit is reached. As others have pointed out, attempting to use the amp's ALC output to control the power output of the K3 is bad practice and is likely to produce distorted signals and splatter. 73, Don W3FPR Howard K2HK wrote: I am having a problem with the external ALC.
