Re: [Elecraft] K3 M/M Contest stations
Hi Guys We at D4C, get seriously the Contest, trying to win, last CQWW SSB and CW we had 11 K3, with several different configuration, 6 were Main Radio and 5 ( 10 to 80 ) were support Radio, with dual RX capability multidirectional RX antennas and inBand Antenna too, all fitted into the several BNC input as RX, or SUB RX input. The comments of the over 25 ops, ( 14 of them will attend to the next WRTC ) was, amazing, no interference, antennas are located not far form 200 m from the shack, no noise interference, integration of good filter, both in TX and RX with the great capabilities of the K3’s and flexible multidirectional antennas, has created a great efficient MM station. The configuration of all the K3 were identical, so operators can move between bands, without worry about, equalizer, filters, or mic control, no one had touched these configuration during the contest, because during the contest ur are busy to run … So as mentioned, DXped and or MM setup, are easy to do with K3, obviously u still need to take care of the environment, including antennas, filters and all other stuff that can help to have the right success. 73 de Fabio I4UFH / D4C SSB Team Leader Il giorno 14/apr/2014, alle ore 20:30, Ray Sills raysil...@verizon.net ha scritto: Hi Keith: I'd have to agree with Don.. and don't forget, some people just like to participate in a contest.. for the fun of it, and perhaps working a new one ... as opposed to trying to win the contest. Those people would probably do -just fine- with a stock K3 setup. I'm sure I would. 73 de Ray K2ULR KX3 #211 On Apr 14, 2014, at 2:24 PM, Don Wilhelm wrote: Keith, That may be true, but if it is, each operator will know how to set it up to his preferences. I say again, if he does not know how to set it up, he should leave it alone. In the midst of a contest is not the time to be fiddling with things to find out what each operator wants. A bit of education and practice with settings beforehand *can* make such operator changeovers smooth. Perhaps your group can agree on some compromise settings that will work suitably for all. After all, DXPeditions using multiple operators seem to do something like that with success. Setting up for a contest should be no more difficult. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/14/2014 1:54 PM, XE3/K5ENS wrote: Don, No way could someone that was a real serious contester use the K3 with the stock settings and score anywhere near the points that could be scored without changing the settings. A stock K3 is NOT a contest radio. And I think that's where a lot of the cons about the K3 happen. There are several settings in the K3 that must be changed to make the radio a contest radio.

[Elecraft] DIGOUT1 DVR PTT OUT
Hi fellows, I am dealing with and issue related to the Interlocking 2 K3 for our next CQWW Adventure in D4C. The main problems, that i am encountering are the follow : I have builded, a footswitch interlock, between two K3, and easy 2 relay Xcrossed switch, both FSwitch avoid that the other one TX the proper K3, and i have added a logic for enable the INH of the proper inactive Radio. Everything work as expect, even when u use the internal K3 DVR, where u don't have a separate PTT line from the DVR that can be used to acknowledge that the DVR has been asserted and that can be as the FSwitch to interlock the secondary Radio. The only way to know that the DVR is ON is to use the K3 PPT OUT, but i need to interlock first that the radio TX not after . The DVR memory are played within macro developed in WintTest, so i am thinking to use the DIGOUT1 as DVR PTT, using proper command MN19 in the DVR macro, allowing, trough a PNP BJT and a Relay to simulate a Fswitch press, that can be connected to my interlock board. I had look at for any unofficial DIGOUT1 application other then switch on the PR6, but no luck Any suggestion or advise ? Thank's in advance .. 73 de Fabio I4UFH on of D4C __ 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
