Re: [Elecraft] MAC logging software

RUMLogNG has about 75 pre-defined contests. I think RUMPed is sorta deprecated.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Build - What have I forgotten

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

Andrew,

Are the settings in MENU:MIC SEL correct? To use the rear plug I have rP.L 
biAS. That means rear panel, low gain and bias on. The bias setting will depend 
on what type mic you're using, on for electrets.

How about mic gain?

Re: [Elecraft] Just getting a K3 and wonder what desk microphone is recommended (reasonably priced though). Ron KK6ZRA

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

Ron -

I don't use a desk mic, I prefer a headset, but pretty much any mic will sound 
great because the K3 offers a lot of versatility in the TX equalizer and other 
settings. I've seen posts about guys using $4.99 computer mics.

Spend your bux on antennas.

[Elecraft] Software testing

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

I've written a settings saver for the K3. It should work on the K3S, but I 
don't have one to test it on. The program reads every Menu and Config setting 
that's readable, and stores it in a file. You can read a second radio and 
compare the settings side-by-side. The program puts the radio into Tech Mode, 
and switches between SSB and CW. The program DOES NOT load settings back into 
the radio, and I have no plans to have it do so.

I'm looking for some hardy testers. If interested contact me off list, using 
[K3Config] in the subject.

Please let me know your operating system(Windows XP thru Win10), your MCU 
version, and whether you have the sub receiver. I need both K3 and K3S users.

[Elecraft] [K3] & fldigi

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

I'm using a Mac, iMic and fldigi V3.23.00. It appears everything is set 
correctly, but I'm not making RF.

I can't set the ALC to 4 solid with the 5th bar flickering. The minimum number 
of bars is a solid 5, the line in at that point is 4. It makes no difference if 
the iMic is set to Line or Mic. The audio cables are stereo.

Data sub-mode is AFSK A.

QRR ? Low power receive?

[Elecraft] [K3 powers off]

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

I got a new K3 feature for Christmas. Today just sitting here with the K3 on, I 
heard some relay chatter and the rig turned off. I turned it back on, and after 
about an hour, a repeat performance. I wasn't doing any transmitting.

Re: [Elecraft] Microphone/Headset for K3S

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

Hi Juliean -

Welcome to the hobby. You're starting off with the best. Yes, you can use your 
computer headset. The K3s has an 8-band equalizer for both receive and 
transmit, so with a bit of tinkering, you can get excellent sound.

My headset came with 1/8 plugs for both mic and phones. I plug them into the 
jacks on the back panel. No adapters needed. And I'm not continually bumping 
them. A foot switch plugs into the 1/4" jack labeled "PTT In" on the back panel.

Re: [Elecraft] Crackling in Headphones

Has anyone contacted Elecraft support? This one seems to sorta fall into the

Re: [Elecraft] K3 KIO3

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

Thanks, Fred -

The issue is that nothing talks to the K3 at any rate other than 38400. The 
post was meant for support, but the list is often a tad faster.

[Elecraft] K3 KIO3

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

I'm writing a Windows program for the K3. It connects at 38400 only. In trying 
to figure out what's wrong, I set my P3 and K3 to 9600 and used the K3 Utility. 
It will not connect.

If I set the K3 to 38400 and leave the P3 at 9600, the utility connects, but 
reports it's connected at 9600.

Puzzlement is rampant.

To me, span and scale are different. Span is the number of units between two 
points, scale is the physical size those end points cover.

Consider a map of the U.S. The span is 4000 miles. It's printed on a piece of 
paper the size of a postage stamp. You don't see much detail. Now consider that 
the same map is printed on a piece of paper 8.5 by 11. The span is still 4000 
miles but the scale has changed dramatically, and now you can see some detail.

I'm rarely if ever interested in what's happening on both sides of a given 
frequency, just usually up the band, less often down. If the paradigm was edge 
to edge rather than center to edge..

Thanks for the discussion, Alan. I've deduced that the answer is no.

Re: [Elecraft] [P3] Can I?

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

I'm not doing a a good job of explaining I think.

The rig is at 3.524. I double-tap the Split button to equalize the VFOs, then 
hold Split.
The P3 is set to a span of 10, i.e. -5 appears to the left, +5 appears to the 
right.
I set the P3 to tracking mode and move the green cursor to the left edge of the 
screen.

What I'm looking for is that when I tune either the B VFO or the B marker up 
band, it reaches the far right edge of the screen when I get to 3.529, instead 
of reaching 3.529 when it gets just to the right of the screen center.

In this set-up moving the B marker moves the A & B cursor and the marker and 
changes the center freq. displayed on the screen. That isn't desirable.

I don't want to change the span, just the amount of real estate it covers.

Re: [Elecraft] [P3] Can I?

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

Thanks Alan -

I'm still at sea about the span. With the A cursor at the left edge of the 
screen reading 14.022.5 the span icon on the right shows a +5. If I tune higher 
with B or B marker, I hit 14.027.5 a little to the right of the physical center 
of the screen. 

So is there a way to have that almost full screen from the A cursor on the left 
edge to the right side of the screen cover 5 KHz? It sure would make it easier 
to find the sweet spot in the pileup.

[Elecraft] [P3] Can I?

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

Span is set at 10. When chasing DX split, is it possible to position the VFO A 
cursor at the left edge of the display and have the right 5 kHz expanded over 
the (almost) full screen?

In trying to achieve this, I got it so that when in tracking mode the A VFO 
moves the magenta cursor as well as the A & B markers. The B VFO also moves the 
magenta cursor. The green cursor doesn't move. Is this working as intended?

Re: [Elecraft] What crystal filter do you use the most?

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

The filters you guys are discussing are roofing filters. The filtering you're 
thinking about is done digitally, and is continuously variable. The K3s  isn't 
your Dad's analog rig.  

Here's an Elecraft article explaining roofing filters.

Re: [Elecraft] MacOSX Logging Software

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

After trying several Mac logging programs when switching from Windoze, RUMLog 
is the clear winner for me. Focus on what meets your logging needs, they all 
support Th K-series as far as control goes.

RUMLog ties in well with fldigi for digital modes, has a really good interface 
to LoTW and cluster. It does not have built in rotor control, but I wrote a 
program that talks to it via Apple script. http://nf4l.com and some fldigi 
config notes.

Since you mention LoTW, I assume you are interested in DX. Tom DL2RUM is an 
active DXer and it shows in his program. And RUMLog is free.

[Elecraft] KRC2

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

My Ameritron RCS-12 automagic antenna switch is sulking, and not switching the 
remote RCS-10.

I'm thinking of replacing it with a KRC2 pre-built. Is anyone using it with a 
K3 and the Ameritron remote box? How difficult to configure it to work from the 
K3 ACC with the RCS-10?

The manual has the line "The ACC menu entry can be used to directly control the 
KRC2's accessory outputs.". I don't find any other reference. Whatsit mean?

Re: [Elecraft] Introduction

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

Ken -

I agree that you'll most likely relegate the Eagle to second status. If you 
hook the K3 up to the Centurion, be sure to follow the instructions for the K3. 
It's different.

Fred Cady's (KE7X) book on the K3 is well worth having also. I bought it on CD 
so I can search it, and I took the CD to Office Depot and had it printed. I 
like to nap with it in the recliner..

[Elecraft] K3 no power

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

My K3 puts out no power in any mode, either on the SteppIR or into a dummy 
load. It's not in test or split. TX INH is off. Holding tune results in the LCD 
displaying 0 W, and the VFO A area changes to 2 dashes on the right, no digits. 
Tune power is set to 50W, Power to 100W.

A 50W TX Gain calibration passed, but still no joy.   

It seems to be hearing OK.

What have I fat fingered?

[Elecraft] K3 TX Gain failure

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

I just loaded 5.14 firmware, and ran the 50W TX gain calibration. It fails, the 
K3 displays ERR TXG. The book says band-pass or low-pass filters out of whack.

What's my remedy?

Re: [Elecraft] K3 DATA A vs USB for JT65/JT9

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

Per page 31 of the K3 owners manual sez

DATA A can be used for all audio-shift transmission modes, including AFSK and 
PSK-31. VFO A shows the transmit suppressed carrier frequency and USB is normal 
for DATA A. Compression is automatically set to 0 to reduce transmitted signal 
distortion.

AFSK A is also an audio-shift transmission but is optimized for RTTY. VFO A 
displays the RTTY mark frequency and LSB is normal. The built-in text decoder 
and the dual-passband RTTY filter can be used.

[Elecraft] K3 antenna bleed thru

I was helping a friend with his remote setup. We were on 20M CW, and I copied 
him about an S5. He couldn't hear me at all (both 100W). 

Later I realized I was on ANT 2. Why was I able to hear him so well? Do I have

Re: [Elecraft] [Bulk] A way to show both "SPLIT" and "NON-SPLIT" warnings

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

I agree Bill, it's a real nuisance. Maybe Wayne can tack this onto his main 
bill as a rider. It's a real life, almost-every-day irritant. No amount of 
additional split warning will help, it's still too many button pushes, and 
inconsistent behavior by mode.

[Elecraft] K3/0 Mini remote

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

I have a friend (a new Elecrafter) who has a K3/0 Mini, and is connected to the 
RemoteHamRadio service. 

How is the connection to his logging program done?  A USB to serial cable to 
the COM1 connector on the RemoteRig box doesn't do it.

[Elecraft] K3 logging, digital software

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

My favorite logger (for Mac) has a new version, RUMLogNG. It has a control 
screen for the K3/KX3 and one for the P3/PX3. Tom DL2RUM is still working on 
it, but it's very nice.

It uses Fldigi for digital modes, and transfers data using an Applescript.

With a lot of help, I put together a web page of the settings for CAT control 
and Fldigi hookup for the K3. nf4l.com/ngconfig

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and FLDigi

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

With a lot of help from people here, it's working.

I'm using an iMic USB sound card. Sound setup in a Mac is tedious. Adjust the 
level to 3 or 4 bars on the K3 ALC meter. I was unable to get the flickering 
bar. My slider took me from 3 bars to 7 with the least I could move the slider.

In fldigi, select the Configure menu item, then Rig Control. On the dialog that 
appears select the Rig tab, then the Hamlib tab. 
For Rig, choose Elecraft K3/KX5 (Beta).
Device, choose the serial port that connects the 'puter to the K3.
Baud Rate to 38400(must match what the K3 is set to), 1 stop bit.
Sideband is Rig Mode
Check Use Hamlib and PTT via Hamlib command. Click Initialize, and Save.

I don't like this arrangement, because I want my logging program to connect to 
the K3, but if this isn't set, then fldigi doesn't generate any tones. There 
has to a way to key using VOX.

Select the Audio tab and set your sound IO. Click Save.

Operator info was filled in. Click Save and Close.

Click Op Mode and choose RTTY, then your RTTY flavor. That sets the box in the 
lower left corner of the screen to RTTY. Don't click on that box and change 
anything there.

There is a box and down arrow just under the frequency display. Set that and it 
changes the mode on the K3, so I choose RTTY. The DATA sub-mode on the K3 is 
AFSK A.

Any further info welcome!

He's using Win8 and Xfinity. The RR box isn't talking to the Xfinity 
modem/router. The LED on the RR box is solid green, the LED on the modem is

Looking in the modem settings, the RR box doesn't show up in the list of

Re: [Elecraft] A way to show both "SPLIT" and "NON-SPLIT" warnings

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

If I forget to put on a belt or suspenders, maybe there could be a sensor at 
the door that would staple my pants to my waist. I'm just not a fan of trying 
to make up for someones lack of attention to the job at hand. A car ad I saw on 
TV recently concluded with the statement that by virtue of all the safety 
devices on board, it wasn't necessary to devote as much attention to driving. I 
find that kind of thinking truly frightening.

Have I transmitted on the wrong VFO? Of course, and I take full blame for that. 
It's not the radio's fault.

It is of course your company, and your decision. I'm not going to stop 
vigorously supporting Elecraft.

If it's an option, OK, but I am convinced that if an op misses the existing two 
indicators on the LCD display, and the Δf yellow LED, then more indicators 
aren't gonna help. And I am unanimous in my opinion.

I'd much rather see the effort go into separating VOX for data from VOX for SSB.

Re: [Elecraft] Split operation - display of Transmit frequency on keydown

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

G! No!

If someone, looking at the display, doesn't notice the SPLT, or the down arrow, 
then I don't think another indicator is gonna do any good. I think the problem 
lies in NOT looking at the radio in the passion of the chase. 

If the radio is in split, and the VFO's are equal, then put a KV on the mic or 
keyer.

[Elecraft] K3 Odd behavior

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

This morning I noticed something strange with #3539. On 80 & 160, tune only put 
out 10W. The level is set for 44W. Full output is 44W, power set to 100W. SWR 
with the AT in bypass is 1.3 on 80M, 1.2 on 160M. All this on ANT1. Power out 
on 40M & up is as expected.

I connected a dummy load to ANT2, and while screwing the connector on, there 
was a huge jump in the volume level on the 2nd receiver. The selected antenna 
is still ANT1. This condition is for all bands. The main receiver performs as 
expected, when ANT2  is selected, noise goes down.

[Elecraft] WSJT-X

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

determination to resolve the problems is... well..Elecraft like!
