[Elecraft] K3 Question on Bandwidth setting via Macro

2021-05-16 Thread John Klewer
I have a macro which, while configuring my K3S for FT8 operation, sets BW
to 4.0 kHz.the 6.0 kHz roofing filter is (apparently) automatically
selected and I do not actually realize 4-ish kHz BW until I manually select
the 13 kHz roofing filter.

It seems from the Programmer's reference that the XFIL function is a Get
not Set function.

I would appreciate anyone who would set me straight on either what I am
doing wrong or if this is a "problem" that can't actually be solved with
the firmware/hardware as constituted.

Thanks in advance

John, N6AX

*What do you mean by “voice isn’t working”? That sounds like a problem for
your doctor.*
A little kindness and grace would go a long way towards keeping the
reflector civil.

[Elecraft] K3S Milliwatt Output Level on 630 Meter Band

2017-04-18 Thread John Klewer
Been in discussions with Elecraft regarding my K3S (110900 and its
performance at 472-is kHz.

My measurements surprised me a bit...I was expecting a bit more output but
my particular K3S will output barely 285 uW (when power set to nominal 1.0
mw) and a max of about .45 mw with power control set wide open.

I understand that gain at this frequency is easy to get to make up for any
shortfall...just wondering what sorts of measured output power others have
seen on their K3?

Thanks

John, N6AX

ps power measured with HP 437/8482A, HP 3400A RMS voltmeter and o-scope
with very close correlation between the three instruments

[Elecraft] K3S No TX Audio via USB

2016-12-17 Thread John Klewer
OKI have read several archived email threads regarding this issue some
other hams are having without finding a resolution to my problem...please
help!

Running a new K3S with a Mac running WSJT-x for JT-65 mode

Transceiver is connected per the manual and I am able to control the K3
with my logging program (MacloggerDX) when it is so connected...in other
words I have control and communications between the computer and the XCVR

WSJT-X receive works great and able to decode signals fine.

I have selected the appropriate USB CODEC as shown in my Mac system
settings and, of course, in the WSJT-X configuration menu.

I have nothing plugged into the Line In or Line Out jacks of the K3S

There is no TX audio, listening to an external receiver or the radio's
monitor regardless of setting and regardless of Mic Gain settings (running
in USB mode for WSJT of course)

This is a brand new K3S with version 5.50 installed

My friend has the same setup except with a Windows computer and has the
same problem with his setup.

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

I likely just missed it but wondered if anyone knows how to enable transmit
on my new-synthesizer-equipped K3 in the 630 Meter band.

My transceiver indicates "BND END" when attempting transmit.

It may be that the firmware has not yet been modified as the band has not
yet been approved by the powers that be.thanks for info (if available)

Re: [Elecraft] KPA-500 Features and Pricing

2010-09-09 Thread John Klewer
On the other end of the price spectrum, way above the speculated-upon 
price of the KPA500, are the Tokyo Hy-Power amps (the 1500 model has 
~2.5 dB more power but otherwise similar) for around $3500 and the SPE 
Expert 1K-FA listing at around $3900 (auto tuner built-in).

Seems to me that the (doubtless) better quality of the Elecraft product 
compared to the ALS-600 makes the $2000-ish price for the KPA-500 sound 
quite reasonable.

Re: [Elecraft] Slowed RS-232 with P3 installed

2010-08-15 Thread John Klewer
I experienced my very first vapor-lock (MCU LD freeze-up) when doing the 
V4.05 download with the P3 connected in the RS-232 path..have done 
many, many firmware updates since receiving my K3 (S.N 567) with no 
glitches at all...is this a coincidence?

[Elecraft] Re: K3 6m pre-amp

2008-07-30 Thread John Klewer
Note that I installed this preamplifier in the RX IN/OUT path on the K3 
rear panel





To enhance the 6 meter performance of my K3 I built the U310 
preamplifier as described on N6CA's website:


http://www.ham-radio.com/n6ca/50MHz/50appnotes/U310.html

Tuned up on an HP8970A noise figure meter it gives 11.2 dB gain and 
NF=1.3 dB.


The receiver's performance on weak signals was significantly improved. 
I already had the parts but cost should not exceed $30.00 to duplicate 
this preamphard to beat.


I have not done measurements on the radio/preamp combination to 
determine any negative effect on the receiver performance but the K3, 
which always performed well in the presence of strong signals, 
continues to do so.

[Elecraft] K3 6 Meter TX Power Issue

OKdoes anyone else have this same operational quirk?

Using latest beta firmware (same problem existed using the latest 
released FW as well) I have a XV-144 connected to my K3...set output 
power on 6 meters set to about 60 watts (actual value is irrelevant), 
switch to 144 MHz, switch back to 6 metersnow output power is 3.7W!


This happens repeatably

Any one else with an XV-144 care to try this and report back?

Any suggestions?

KK7P:
Not a thing.  It is called "RX ANT IN" on the KXV3. The port you are
referring to is near the SO-239s and is intended for the KRX3 (which is
not to imply it comes with the KRX3, or that it does not, and I don't
know the answer).

There is nothing missing in your assembly.  I
believe AUX RF (below ANT1 and ANT2) is reserved for a
future RX ANT input for the Sub RX only (i.e. similar in
function to the present RX ANT on the KXV3).  Elecraft's
drawing of the rear panel shows this port being a BNC
connector just like the KXV3's BNC for RX ANT.

Why all this complexity?  When using the Sub RX
for diversity receive, one might want to do the following:

1.  Transmit on ANT1, assign Main RX to your transmit
antenna and assign Sub RX to a receive only antenna
on AUX RF (i.e. you're using your transmit antenna and
a separate receive antenna for diversity receive).

2.  Transmit on ANT1, assign Main RX to a receive antenna
on RX ANT and assign Sub RX to another receive antenna
on AUX RF (i.e. you're using two separate receive antennas
for diversity receive).

The way I understand it (which could be wrong!) is that
AUX RF can only be used for the Sub RX, not the Main RX.
I suspect this will become more clear after the KRX3 is
introduced.  There may be a little kit to add the BNC
connector for AUX RF and appropriate wiring connecting
it to the KRX3.  In the meantime, there is absolutely
nothing wrong with your present assembly!

Hi Steve,

"The Believers" sounds more like a 60's rock group than a description of
Elecraft customers. From my perspective, working for a small business, you
become well acquainted with your customers over a period of time. A lot of
these customers come back because they trust you based upon their past
experiences. So, you are absolutely correct when you say that a company's
word and reputation are paramount. I've been dealing with Elecraft since
2004. In that time I've had numerous occasions where I had to contact the
company for a variety of reasons. In no case were my e-mails or phone calls
ignored or sidetracked to a foreign country. Every experience I've had with
Elecraft whether through their products or customer support has been
positive. (I wish I could say that about more than a handful of the
companies I do business with.)

The simple truth is, any company can hit a bump in the road and will. At
that point, they have to rely on their word and past reputation. Based upon
Elecraft's track record, I don't feel the least worried. When I read posts
like yours, I just assume you haven't any prior experience with the company
in which to base your comments. It is very easy to look with a jaundiced eye
towards a lot of disreputable businesses these days and then lump them all
together. In the long run, though, it is not fair to those that who have
done nothing to warrant it. 


I don't see Elecraft as a religion to which your "Believers" tag implies.
They are a COMPANY of people of which I have had the pleasure of doing
business with. I like what they sell and I like the way the treat me. It’s
that simple.

The K3 is as a major undertaking by a couple of wide eyed hams in Aptos who
think they can build the world’s best amateur transceiver. I think they have
done it – even though there remain a few bumps. I think they also feel a
strong sense of responsibility in making sure that you not only get what
they have advertised but that it also works as advertised.  


Frankly, I see it all as rather exciting that the K3 is still undergoing so
many changes right before my eyes and that it only takes a few mouse clicks
to implement them. But, make no mistake, the K3 as it sits is a remarkable
product - maybe not finished - but, none-the-less, remarkable. The fact that
the K3 will be getting even better with time leaves me feeling that my money
was not only well spent – but is also producing dividends. 


Come to think of it, maybe I am a Believer.

Tom, AK2B

Actually (and this may be a shock to "The Believers") you might be
surprised to know that there seems to be a rather LARGE group of people
who agree with me, not only for the "TRANSLATION" e-mail, but also the
"OPEN LETTER" e-mail which I sent last month.  They say so,
enthusiastically, in private correspondence.  No joke.

You see, John, when all's said and done, all we have is our reputation.

There are those who stand and deliver on promises, those who don't.

Those who's word cannot be trusted must be held accountable.  This HAS to
be the case, because, at a high level, what else holds a civilization
together?

Anyway, enjoy S/N 157!

Re: [Elecraft] Computer Noise ruining 20 & 30m

2008-01-11 Thread John Klewer
Prior to buying my (ultra-quiet) Mac G5, I experienced a significant 
amount of noise from my PCdoing a search with a handheld shortwave 
radio in AM mode revealed it was primarily emanating from  the AC power 
cable area.


Clip-on ferrite chokes on the power cable were completely ineffective.

I dismantled the computer, opened up the power supply and replaced the 
power supply input connector (unfiltered) with a filtered one purchased 
from Digi-key and the problem went away! Sorry, but I do not have the 
part number...they are available from Digi-key, Mouser, Newark, etc, etc.


In the interest of maximizing profits the manufacturer omitted a 
filtered input connector and let me instead buy it aftermarket.

Hello,
I gave away the feeble old PC I had by my radio equipment and replaced 
it with a newer one ...


Now I have S9+ noise wiping out 20 and 30 meters.

Using same keyboard, mouse, monitor; just the PC in a new case. 
Evidently it has a
noisy switcher supply in it. Tried 110V in-line filter, also different 
110V house circuit,
but still have noise. Grounds don't help. Don't happen to have a box 
of toroids for chokes.


I've got an old PC supply or two in the junk box, but hoping something 
else might fix.


Any thoughts on an easy fix?

Thanks,
Alan

Looks like Elecraft has at least 3 Techs working on getting those units  out! 
I wouldn't mind doing that

if they were in NC!  It would be much cheaper for them to operate  here:)

Looks like they are still in Production Run#1 though with the "orders with

Re: SV: [Elecraft] K3: prod run #1 size

2007-11-22 Thread John Klewer
As I am sure you all know...all the while that the good folks at 
Elecraft have been shipping out these first 100 K3s, their manufacturing 
operation (in house and outside assemblers) have been cranking out 
boards and modules and filters, etc. It is decidedly NOT a serial 
operation until the testing/packing phase arrives.


The net result is that they likely have a large pile of boards now in 
house being tested and packed for shipping..they have already told 
us they are hiring staff to test and perform the other necessary 
functions in order to satisfy our K3-lust.


While I have greatly lowered my expectations of when my K3 is likely to 
arrive, I am confident that the pace of deliveries will significantly 
increase over the next few weeks.


Meanwhile...I am sure enjoying the assembly pictures being 
provided...thanks to all who have done so. The vicarious experience is 
better than nothing right now!


My wife thinks the whole lot of us are just a bit off 
kilter...could she be right?


Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving Day to all

John, N6AX

It is always fun to speculate;

your holding off emailing us for status as much as possible."

So this might be the cut off date for the 1st run?

He also wrote: "Weeks of Nov 12-16 and Nov 19-23 (Orders with deposits)"

As a deposit would get you into the first 200, this would indicate that the
first 200 should go out the door this week which seems a little optimistic.
Or there were never 200 prepaid.

Just my speculations... :)
