[Elecraft] Larger icon for K4 mouse
My eyesight just can't resolve the minute arrow used to depict where the mouse is contacting items in the K4 display. I had been told "they" were working on it. Well, have "they" fixed it yet or is this just another thing yet to be done?

[Elecraft] My K3's 10 meter band now functions
Thanks o all of those replying with serious considerations. In reviewing the responses, one of you hit the nail on the head: a dumb operator error occurred, the wrong antenna had been selected for the 10 meter band. I suppose most knew, antenna selection is couple to band a factor I had forgotten.) How this misalignment happened I'll have to attribute to a button push long forgotten. Again, thanks top all and winning scores regardless of the contest,. 73 John Kountz, WO1S J Kountz __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
[Elecraft] My K3's 10 meter band is dead
Gentlemen, There seems to have been ambiguity in my note concerning the operational condition of my K3 (#3271). Clarifying the issue: For 10 meters my K3 neither transmits nor receives. All other bands are fully functional. Any serious suggestions?. 73, John Kountz WO1S __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

[Elecraft] Subtractive noise reduction
Folks, This technique is integral to almost any disc record restoration software. It is used most often to remove scratches and related damage from disc recordings. Basically it consists of sampling the unrecorded lead in or 'quiet' interludes on the disc to provide a spectral profile of the noise to be dealt with, inverting that profile using it as a 'look ahead' filter through which subsequent audio engraved on the disc is passed. It is entirely conceivable that a similar technique could apply dynamically to material off the air proceeding the incoming 'signal' and applied as that 'signal' is received. Just another subroutine. 73, John Kountz WO1S, T6EE __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
[Elecraft] RE; How well does the K3 work with lower power supply voltage . . .
Doug, Like the Monte Python joke, Observer: My dog has no nose Question: How does it smell? Observer: Horrible! I have two K3 transceivers and have attempted to use them on several Field Days with limited joy and unlimited disappointment. I've attempted to use one or the other with 120 Watt solar cells and 100 AH GelCel and/or Lead Acid batteries which had been charged beforehand. As long as there is healthy sunlight and you have a duty cycle of between 10 and 15 percent transmission with 85 to 90 percent monitoring you'll have a functioning station. But, when the sun goes down or you get into a run you'll find yourself out of order.as the battery drops below a nominal 13 VDC.. Operation after twilight, forget it. Again, it's the 13 VDC cutoff. I've used 40 amp boost converters supporting a 13.6 VDC out for a range of input voltages with success, but you can end up frying a battery as the converter struggle to suck 13.6 VDC out of a battery dipping below 10.5 VDC on transmissions. Although I've not tried it, I suspect a Yamaha or Honda 1 KW generator would keep the K3 running, but you're in another category. Have fun and 73, John Kountz WO1S __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

[Elecraft] SSB net? What SSB net?
In fumbling winnowing through Elecraft Digest Vol 187, Issue 4, I came across Item 16, a cryptic entry concerning an SSB net. I have to admit I was certain such a net would exist but the frequency, time and day for said net are not clearly spelled out. What are the specifics for this net??

[Elecraft] Anyone with interfacing KPA1500/K3/P3 and steppIR SDA2000
The P26 cable works fine to connect a P3 with a K3. The S14 "Y" is comprised of two female connectors and one male and can be used to connect the P3 to the K3 but not the SteppIR SDA2000 antenna controller. Given the requirement for these three devices be interconnected is there anyone out there who has surmounted this problem?

[Elecraft] Field Day experience with K3
Fellow K3 guys: N6L, our 2AORG solar powered Field Day station was specifically configured to demonstrate off-the-grid emergency opperations and thus provided an excellent opportunity to put one of my two K3 (sn 3271 and 2215) to work under less than the comforts of home. Disquietingly, the K3 wasn't up to the task! Let me explain: both the K3 and our second radio, a TenTec Eagle (Model 599AT sn 3051271430) were fed from the same 120 watt Power Film Panel /110 AmpHr GSM battery combination and operated at 100W output. In tandom operation, the Eagle was not affected by momentary voltage dips (below 10 VDC) whereas the K3 would shut down. With both radios in SSB mode and following the first K3 shut down, the K3s operating environment was changed: different bands, different antennas, reduced power output (to 10 watts) different operators and, finally different solar /GSM battery combinations. None remedied the problem. Following from our experience, while the K3 and the Eagle offer excellent operating characteristics, beware of the K3 under extenuating circumstances; it's liable to let you down even at low output power levels. The only potential solution may be found in a voltage boost device such as the N8XJK boost regulators http://stores.tgelectronics.org/Categories.bok?category=Boosters Unfortunately, following the research necessary to uncover a source of these devices Field Day was over. Next year for sure! 73 John Kountz, WO1S/T6EE __ 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] RE50B microphone connected to K3
Has anyone had experience in tying pin 3 to pin one in an XLR connector to enable the transition from a balanced microphone to the unbalanced input of the K3?
