[Elecraft] K2 # 4721 QRV

2005-01-31 Thread Michael Studer
I just built my second K2.  This one is for QRP using the internal battery.  
The other one is my QRO home station version.  I hated tearing everything up 
just to go QRPing.  

I got the kit Friday afternoon and I just finished Sunday at midnight.  No 
problems.  Except I did try to load up my NGEN noise generator.  I smoked it.

[Elecraft] Marote 2.4 released on my NEW website

2005-01-22 Thread Michael Studer
Hi all!  I have been very busy with my new website and related projects.  I 
did manage to put enough features together to make Marote 2.4 ready to go.  

Linux users can download it here http://www.hamsoftware.org

My callsign has changed from AB6CV to K6EEP.  You can verify it on qrz.com or 
the FCC website.   I am a CW nut and EEP sounds cool on CW.

New version of Marote features more CW contesting features.   I also updated 
the RF power controls.  (That makes it sound so simple.  It wasn't.)

Keep the great ideas coming!

[Elecraft] Website change for Marote Linux software

2005-01-16 Thread Michael Studer
My new site is http://www.hamsoftware.org
Should be a much faster and more stable website. 

I have a vanity callsign 'on order' from the FCC.  When that is approved I 
will have to change the old site.

[Elecraft] PICs re-writable?

2004-11-04 Thread Michael Studer
Since I now have a pile of old Elecraft PIC chips I got to wondering if they 
can be erased and reused?  I know they have code protection that protects 
them from being read.  But I wonder if they can be erased and reused?

I am probably dreaming. :)

[Elecraft] KIO2 Programmer's reference question

2004-10-26 Thread Michael Studer
I am trying to add new DSP filter features to my K2 control software, Marote, 
on Linux.  I just added the new DSP module to my K2 #1974.  So I had to play 
with it more.

I cannot get SW80 and SW81 to do anything.
I want to turn on the DSP NR mode.  
I am able to cycle through the various DSP filters using SW29.  And I can read 
the audio filter state via FW response string.  Of course it only tells 
what audio filter number you are using.  I see that there is a compromise 
here since the are 2 audio filter boards that could be installed in the rig.  
The plain old audio filter and the DSP module.  

Currently I am playing with adding giant usb tuning knob support to my 
program.  Maybe some of the Windows programmers may want to take a look at 
this thing.  Here is the link.

Re: [Elecraft] KX-1 InP Hnd locks TX on

2004-06-28 Thread Michael Studer
I did some experimenting.  Here are my results.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Obtain a male to male 1/8 stereo cable.  And a jumper clip cable.

2. Plug one end of stereo cable into the KX1.  Make sure KX1 is in hand key 
mode.

3. On the other end of the stereo cable, short the center of a stereo plug to 
the ground end.  I did this by overlaping one alligator clip over the two 
contacts.

4. Just tap the tip of the stereo plug to the ground lead.  (the other end of 
the jumper clip).

Now the transmitter is constantly keyed on.

I think this is a bug.  It should be more forgiving when in hand input mode.  
It should ignore the RB3 signal on the MCU in hand input mode.  Only ground 
and RB2 should work.  The way it is now it's like a booby trap waiting to 
spring on you.  I discovered this feature on Field Day.  Much to my dismay.
