Re: [Elecraft] K4 whining

[Michael Downs]

Maybe we can all take a deep breath, relax and remember amateur radio is a 
hobby. Try to have some fun while we await our K4s. Peace y’all.

[Elecraft] KX2 Micro Manual

[Michael Downs]

Greetings KX2 users. I have developed an app for iPhones and iPads that is a 
comprehensive guide to using the KX2. This app was developed in response to 
requests from many KX2 users for an app like the ones I’ve created for the KX3 
and other Elecraft products. 

It is available in the Apple App Store for a small fee. Search for “KX2 Micro 
Manual” or “Mike Downs, ks7d” to see a list of all my apps for Elecraft 
products. 

Those of you that use Android phones, please let me know, off list, if an 
Android version would be desirable.

[Elecraft] KX1 Micro Manual

[Michael Downs]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I have a new app in the Apple Store and Google 
Play for the iPhone and Android. It is KX1 Micro Manual. The KX1 Micro Manual 
application is intended to be a handy reference to the Elecraft KX1 Owner's 
Manual which is available on the Elecraft web site.

Most of the text in the application is taken directly from the KX1 Owner's 
Manual with changes in format made to accommodate the iPhone and Android Phone 
architecture. Elecraft has approved the use of their copyrighted material in 
this app.

In addition to the full text of the KX1 Owner's Manual, the application 
includes operating instructions for the KXAT1 Automatic Antenna Tuner, KXPD1 
Plug-In
Keyer Paddle, KXB30 30-Meter Adapter, and KXB3080 30 and 80 Meter Adapter.

Users may search each chapter of the Owner's Manual or the entire Owner's 
Manual at once to find keywords or phrases in the text. Found text is 
highlighted in yellow.

The app can be located in the Apple Store or Google Play by searching for "mike 
downs, ks7d"

Enjoy.

[Elecraft] K2/K3/KX3/P3 Android Phone Apps

[Michael Downs]

I have had many requests from owners of Android phones for an Android version 
of my apps for the Apple iPhone. I am happy to announce that the following 
micro manuals are all available for Android phones now:

1. K3/KX3 Programmer's Reference

2. K3 Micro Manual

3. P3 Micro Manual

4. KX3 Micro Manual

5. K2 Micro Manual

You can find these apps in Google Play. Just do a search for 'mike downs, 
ks7d'. Note that the minimum required Android version is Jelly Bean Version 4.1 
(API level 16). Unfortunately, there is a glitch in earlier versions of 
Google's Android operating system that prevent these apps from functioning, so 
I have had to design them all for Version 4.1 and above.

I hope you find these apps useful, and that they make operating your Elecraft 
rigs more efficient and enjoyable from wherever you are - at home or on the 
road. None of these apps requires an Internet connection, so they will operate 
from anywhere.

Happy Elecrafting.

73,

Mike, ks7d

Re: [Elecraft] K3/KX3 Prog Ref App

[Michael Downs]

Dave,

The K3/Kx3 Programmer's Reference app includes several essential additions to 
the free Elecraft K3/KX3 Programmer's Reference Manual:

1. It includes the full text of the Elecraft K3/KX3 Programmer's Reference 
Manual.

2. It includes full details from the Menu Reference and Switch Emulation 
sections of the K3 Owner's Manual.

3. It includes full details from the Menu Reference and Switch Emulation 
sections of the KX3 Owner's Manual.

4. It includes the full text of all K3 Firmware Release Notes since the K3 was 
introduced.

5. It includes the full text of all KX3 Firmware Release Notes since the KX3 
was introduced.

For the serious programmer these are essential references and they are all 
built in to the App. To get this information from the free Elecraft documents 
one would have to load each of the five documents on to their Android or 
iPhone, and then switch back and forth between documents. The K3/KX3 
Programmer's Reference app includes all this information in one easy to use app.

Thanks for asking.

Mike ks7d

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Front Panel Problem

[Michael Downs]

Thanks Dave,

I tried rotating the four knobs and tapping them. Found out rotating the knobs 
works as expected, but the tap and hold functions do not work at all. None of 
the other buttons on the front panel work as expected except the POWER button. 
Tapping many of the buttons has no effect, but others cause unrelated functions 
to execute. For example, tapping the PRE button causes NTCH to turn on or off. 
Tapping the ANT button causes NR to turn on or off. Tapping the SPOT button or 
AFX button causes the SHIFT/LO control to switch from SHIFT to LO and the 
HI/WIDTH control to shift from HI to WIDTH.

This behavior causes me to believe the Parameter Initialization procedure needs 
to be activated, but I can't get it to initiate because the SHIFT/LO control 
doesn't work as expected. Oops! I just got it to work by holding the SPOT 
button while tapping the POWER button. Weird. Anyway, I restored the K3 
Configuration but none of the front panels problems have been resolved.

[Elecraft] K3 Front Panel Problem

[Michael Downs]

Elecraft List,

I haven't used my K3 for quite a while as I have been playing with the KX3 (the 
K3 has been sitting on the desk totally disconnected from everything). Now when 
I fire up the K3, none of the front panel buttons and dual-purpose controls 
work, except volume and VFO A. I thought maybe the menu parameters got altered 
somehow preventing the firmware from operating correctly, so I tried to do a 
parameter initialization. But that failed because the Shift/Lo knob is not 
working (The other dual-purpose knobs: Hi/Width, Speed/Mic, and Cmp/Pwr don't 
work either). Therefore, I figured the contacts between the front panel and the 
radio had become corroded and weren't making a good electrical connection 
anymore. So, I removed the front panel and inspected the pins. Everything 
looked normal and I put the radio back together again. Still not working.

Anyone want to make suggestions on what else I should try? I can communicate 
with the radio using the K3 Utility and I did reinstall the MCU firmware, DSP 
firmware and front panel firmware. None of that helped. I still think there 
must be a communication problem between the front panel and the radio, but 
don't know how to fix it. Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

WPM sending barrier. Anyway, I will keep plugging away until I find and fix 
what I am doing wrong in my code.

In the meantime, I am working on a KX3 Micro Manual for the iPhone. Good to 
have a second project to switch to when the first one gives you the 
programmer's equivalent of writer's block.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 4.51 is now production released

[Michael Downs]

I just loaded firmware 4.51 on my K3. Everything went smoothly. The load of MCU 
and DSP 1 and 2 were verified by the K3 Utility. However, now my front panel 
buttons no longer work properly. For example, PRE turns on/off NTCH. All the 
buttons seem to be affected. However, if I use the K3 Utility to send commands 
to the K3 they seem to work properly.

I tried loading all the software again, including the front panel firmware. 
Again the K3 Utility verifies the install, but the front panel buttons are 
messed up. Help!!!

[Elecraft] K3iNetwork iPhone App Users

[Michael Downs]

If you are a user of K3iNetwork, which is an app I developed for the iPhone 
that allows you to remotely control your K3 with your iPhone, iPod Touch, or 
iPad via a WiFi or the Internet, I would like to hear from you. I want to 
create an email group of K3iNetwork users who would like to help me decide on 
enhancements to the app.

For the curious, you can find K3iNetwork here: 
http://itunes.apple.com/app/k3inetwork/id463639462?mt=8

Thank you for your interest in K3iNetwork.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 macro help

[Michael Downs]

Joe,

The SB command is in the K3 Programmer's Reference. Look in the Command Set 
Overview, Table 1 on page 1 and in the Command Reference section on page 16. 
Its listed as SB *, not SBx. SB0; turns the sub receiver off and SB1; turn it 
on.

[Elecraft] K3iNetwork: Using Skype to Provide Streaming Audio

[Michael Downs]

I have discovered that Skype can be used with K3iNetwork to provide streaming 
audio to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. This is a no cost audio solution for 
those who are using K3iNetwork. Please see my web page (www.ks7d.com/Skype.htm) 
for detailed instructions on how to set up and use Skype with K3iNetwork. Enjoy!

[Elecraft] Remote Control of K3 with iPhone/iDevice

[Michael Downs]

I have two apps in the Apple App Store that allow you to remotely control your 
K3 using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. These apps are free as I want to 
encourage those who are interested to try them out and provide me feedback on 
any bugs discovered and enhancements desired.

The apps use two different approaches to communicate with the K3 from your 
iDevice. K3iConnect establishes an ad hoc network with a wifi serial adapter 
that fits in the RS232 port on the K3. Thus, no PC/Mac or cables are required 
and the K3 can be remotely controlled from anywhere within 30+ feet of the 
radio.

K3iNetwork uses your local WiFi network and PC/Mac to communicate with the K3. 
In this case you need to have your K3 tethered to your PC or Mac via an RS232 
cable. The advantage here is that sound from the K3 line out can be streamed to 
the iDevice with a third party app such as Airfoil.

Both apps will work with the P3.

I have used these apps to carry on CW and data QSOs with other amateurs. I 
think they are an exciting addition to the Elecraft Mojo, but they also need 
the benefit of users ideas on how to make them better. Also, maybe other 
iDevice or Android developers will be inspired to develop their own apps to add 
even more capabilities. 

Enjoy!

Mike, ks7d

[Elecraft] P3 Micro Manual App

[Michael Downs]

Fellow Elecrafters,

I have a new iPhone app available in the Apple store. I call it the P3 Micro 
Manual:

It includes the complete text of the P3 Owner's Manual and the P3 Programmer's 
Reference in a single app. It is based on Elecraft's P3 Owner's Manual, 
Revision A7, and P3 Programmer's Reference, Revision A2.
It can be downloaded to your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad so it can be with you 
wherever you go.
No bulky paper manuals to carry around.
Does not require a 3G of WiFi network to operate. Works anywhere!

Combine it with my K3 Programmer's Guide and K3 Micro Manual and you have a 
complete reference set for the K3 available on your iDevice. Check the link 
below to find the P3 Micro Manual in Apple's iTunes store:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/p3-micro-manual/id415419957?mt=8&uo=4

[Elecraft] K3 Micro Manual Update

[Michael Downs]

The K3 Micro Manual, an iPhone version of the K3 Owner's Manual, has been 
updated and is available in the Apple Store for download. The following updates 
and enhancements have been made to the application:

1. Updated text to incorporate the K3 Owner's Manual, Revision D9, December 7, 
2010.
2. Now includes all chapters in K3 Owner's Manual, except Appendix A: Crystal 
Filter Installation.
3. Added a comprehensive Index. A tap on an Index item takes the user to the 
selected text in the Owner's Manual.
4. Added full-text search capability. The user can search individual chapters 
or the entire Owner's Manual.
5. Added HTML-style links to chapters in the Owner's Manual to enhance user 
navigation.

The application icon has also been revised, and now incorporates the Elecraft 
logo. 

Please email me your suggestions for desired enhancements. I plan to release a 
version for iPad next.

[Elecraft] K3 Micro Manual iPhone App

[Michael Downs]

If you are a K3 owner/operator, you may be interested in a new iPhone 
application. I call it the K3 Micro Manual as it incorporates most of the K3 
Owner's Manual in a handy iPhone format. It is compatible with iPhone (iOS 
3.1.3 and later), iPod Touch and iPad. It has been updated to include the 
Owner's Manual Errata, and all firmware changes since the Owner's Manual was 
published. Thus, it is current through November 14, 2010. In addition, I have 
included operating tips from the Elecraft web site, selected emails from the 
Elecraft Reflector,  and  operating experience.

If you think you may be interested in this app, it is now available in the 
Apple App Store. It is listed under the Reference category. Just search for "K3 
Owners Manual" or "ks7d."  I welcome your input on enhancements to this 
application, and for your favorite operating tips. I plan updates over time to 
this app to keep it current with the latest Elecraft Owner's Manual, and to add 
new features.

Hopefully, I can follow this iPhone version with a version for Android phones.

hardware before release.

[Elecraft] K3 Programmer's Reference iPhone App Available

[Michael Downs]

For those of you who have an iPhone and would like to have the K3 Programmer's 
Reference as a handy reference on your iPhone, read on. 

I have developed an iPhone app that puts the entire K3 Programmer's Reference 
document in iPhone format for your use. It also includes appropriate 
supplemental information from the K3 Owner's Manual incorporated into the 
reference to make less cross checking necessary as you program your PC to 
control the K3 or write macros.

It is a free application available in Apple's App Store. You can find it by 
using the search terms K3 Programmer's Guide, or just K3 or ks7d. It is 
categorized by Apple as Reference. 

It currently is the only iPhone app available that supports the K3. Hopefully 
some of the other K3 users will develop other iPhone apps for the K3. Enjoy.

Mike, ks7d

[Elecraft] K2 audio de-sensing

[Michael Downs]

I built K2 serial number 4443, and it has worked very well since I completed it 
last year. Recently, I have noticed a new odd behavior in audio sensitivity 
during the CW transmit/receive cycle. I have t-r set at 0.05. When I am sending 
CW the audio between keystrokes will sometimes drop off significantly for a few 
seconds and then recover to full sensitivity. This behavior repeats as I am 
transmitting, in a somewhat random manner. It is an intermittent, but 
consistently occurring problem that happens one or more times during each 
transmit/receive period. It happens whether I transmit into my antenna or a 
dummy load. I thought it might be the KDSP2 DSP Filter, but the behavior still 
occurs when I have DSP in bypass mode. It also occurs with all other add-in 
modules removed from the K2. Also, the K2 and all other station accessories 
have a common RF ground.
 
Suggestions on where to look for the cause of this problem would be 
appreciated. Thanks.Mike, KS7D___
