[Elecraft] DVR Repeat on LCD display
Hi all Just getting ready for CQWW, will be using Wintest for the first time and scripts to used the K3’s DVR Problem I have is that when calling CQ on VFO A using M1 repeat, the VFO B frequency display is overwritten by the word REPEAT .. this for me is a hindrance as I want to see the VFO B frequency so I can search for MULTs as I'm operating Single Operator 20M. Is there any way of turning off the word REPEAT Regards Jim M0CKE __ 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] Elecraft KX3
Don't understand the use of NIMH cells with the current crop of LI-PO cells massively out perform in size, weight and capacity. Thoughts? Maybe safety concerns?

ICE, Dunestar, and W3NQN filters (the NQN filters are sold by Array Solutions). All are designed for use between the transceiver and either a power amp or matched antenna. Last week, there was a thread on the NCCC reflector about bandpass filters.There was general agreement that while ICE filters "work," they are rather prone to fail at their rated 100W power levels, and everyone who said they owned them reported failures. I've had two such failures in the two years that I've owned two of them. Quality control is also poor -- of four single-band filters and two 419's that I bought, all arrived out of alignment. They were repaired at no cost, but I had to pay shipping to Indianapolis, and was without them while they were being repaired. My assessment is that they will fail if run at 100 watts, but they are less likely to fail at the 30-50W levels required to drive a power amp. A west coast company, Dunestar, has been making bandpass filters for at least a decade, and several NCCC members have owned and used them for a while. All reports on Dunestar filters have been positive, and there were no reports of failures. http://www.dunestar.com/filters.htm Array Solutions sells bandpass filters designed by W3NQN, and described in a QST article quite a few years ago. It isn't clear who builds them, but I'd guess it's Array Solutions. They also sell switching systems for these filters. In terms of filtering performance, the W3NQN filters are quite superior, followed by Dunestar and then ICE. My two ICE 419s will be for sale as soon as I can replace them. 73, Jim 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 __ 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] p3 Tap to QSY in Data A mode
Hi Alan Not in PSK D mode as we were running PSK65 so in AFSK A mode So if it has an offset programmed in for PSK D mode then maybe AFSK A mode has been an oversight Anyone at Elecraft care to comment, I think AFSK A mode needs an offset of 1500hz in the P3 so you click and tune to the centre of the pass band, as per CW, and PSK D mode.

With the K3 set up for PSK D data mode and normalized bandwidth and offset, if I click-to-QSY on a carrier with the P3, the carrier ends up right in the center of the K3 passband. Could you tell me exactly how you have the K3 and P3 set up? What versions of K3/P3 firmware are you running?

[Elecraft] p3 Tap to QSY in Data A mode
All Just setting up for PSK contest and notice that the tap to QSO is not accurate, ie if I tap to qsy to the scope peak for a PSK signal with the filters narrow to say 0.2 the signal it well outside the filter pass band Is there any way of changing this so the signal arrives in the passband in DATA A mode?

Re: [Elecraft] P3 deaf ??
OK update, Now tried the P3 on a second K3 which has the IF output mod done and I'm getting the same effect, it needs a good strong signal before any trace of a signal on the P3 S9+20 signals are shown at about S6 Anything below about S6 is not visible on the P3.

Hi all, Used the P3 for the first time last weekend during the BARTG RTTY contest. I did notice that all signal levels shown by the P3 were very low, for instance with a noise level of around s3 on the K3 and a RTTY signal in the clear at S5-6 there was no trace on the P3 on either the waterfall or scope. Signals that are peaking S9 +20 on the radio with no preamp are around –91dbm (S6) on the P3. I’ve checked cables etc and K3 had the IF output mod done.

[Elecraft] P3 VFO B Tracking
All Not really been keeping up on the reflector, just acquired a P3 but cannot find any way of tracking VFO B For my use this is paramount, I assumed this could be done with the P3, am I wrong? If I'm wrong could this be put in the next firmware update please? Everything else on the P3 is as expected and very good.

[Elecraft] Help: K3 - 2 Mic (VFOA and VFOB) 2 Computers N1MM
Hi all, I'm sure this has been achieved already somehow but i'm not sure how. What I would like to do for contest purposes is be able to have "Big Knob" man using K3 VFO A with a head set on a laptop with N1MM and when he presses his foot swich he transmits on VFO A and the PC autocaller in N1MM operates the radio DVR (all operation and working now, no problems) But then I would like "Little Knob" man on VFO B (SUB RX) using a seperate head set and laptop with N1MM and when he presses his foot switch the K3 moves into Split mode to TX on the sub VFO frequency. Once this is completed and the auto caller / Main VFO man transmits the K3 reverts out of Split mode. I would like 2 laptops using N1mm to be connected to the K3 but both recieving the VFO data / control via CAT. I can network 2 versions of N1MM without a problem so both are logging etc etc. Any ideas as i'm scratching my head with this one.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Sales service goes from bad to worse
The happy story. I ordered the KRX3, KVX3 Additional filters etc on the Tuesday and the parcel arrived on the Thursday, yes 2 days from ordering to receiving the parcel by UPS at my works address. I was amazed and the order was all correct. My second order has just arrived for some additional filters, 2 weeks from order but this was due to one part being out of stock and I was ask if I wanted the order part shipped within 24hrs of raising the order, I declined and the parts again arrived within 2 days of being shipped Via UPS, Again the order was all correct and because of the delay the shipping cost was waived.
