Re: [Elecraft] Phonema Speaker for K3
I use the Yeasu Vertex mobile speakers (2) with my K-line, and my K3 has the sub receiver and they seem to work very well. I wear hearing aids and have tinnitus and when in CW mode, no problems. I use the Yamaha c-500 headset/boom mike when I operate SSB. The speakers are hooked to the back panel of the K3, thru a splitter from Radio Shack. And the price is right, $49.00 each.

Looking at the list of matching speakers from YaeComWood at HRO shows all of them, except the Kenwood SP-23, to include audio filtering at an approximately $190 price point. The SP-23 is $85. The Yaesu SP-9000 is an interesting outlier ($325) but it contains *two* speakers and filter sets (main and second receivers). To be competitive, the Phonema product would need to add selectable low/high cut filtering at the current price point. Without filtering, the SP-23 is a more appropriate benchmark (65EUR at current exchange rates). I checked the link sent to me from Joe and will give a pair a try. After all, for $18.60 a pair it won't break the bank and I cannot imagine they are as a bad as the one in my K3. For the benefit of others - that link is the Pyle 3.5 cube speakers on Amazon. Their specs are 90 - 18000 Hz (comparable to the Phonema). I've had them on my K3 for a week now and although they are a bit light on the low end compared to two way bookshelf speakers, they are an excellent performer. I give them about 6dB of boost in the 200/400 Hz RX EQ and set 50/100 Hz to -16 dB (prevents DAC clipping at high volume levels) and they even sound acceptable when SWLing on the broadcast band. 73, ...

Re: [Elecraft] WRTC-2014 fun
Jan, I had fun also, with my K3, operated about 7 hours total, 74 yrs young is too many to stay up all nite, Made 314 cw qsos, and worked 54 of the 59 stations, a total of 98 times on 3 bands, 20, 40 80. Missed 5 for a clean sweep of all 59. Those ops were unbelievable, pulling one call out of the pileups and very few times having to ask for a repeat. I guess that is why they are the cream of the crop, of the contestors from around the world. Just curious, I know the last one in 2010 in Russia, I heard that 40+ K3s were on the operator tables.

If you're in a contest you must be using a contest program. Do you want another program running on the PC that would require you to leave the confines of your contest program? I think not. You would probably want the contest program to have a direct tie-in to the P3 over the existing K3/P3 serial link. Something like holding the shift key causes the mouse to talk to the P3. Releasing the shift key returns control to the contest program. That could be interesting but would involve the contest program developer(s). I suppose the alternative is a corded or wireless USB mouse connected directly to the back of the P3. Then you would have two mice on your desk which is probably even less desirable during the heat of a contest (unless you're ambidextrous). 73, Mike K2MK VE3WDM wrote Good morning all, just wanted to resurrect an idea that has been tossed around the reflector.

[Elecraft] P3 Question ?
Installed the SVGA board in my year old P3 a couple of days ago and when it is first turned on for the day, there is a blip on the spectrum window and a considerable trace in the waterfall window on the extreme left side of the large monitor...it starts to move immediately, very slowly from left to right, with the waterfall trace trailing from right to left of course and then within a couple of minutes (guessing at the time) exits off the screen, not to be seen again. Is this normal, anybody else seeing this?? Noticed it on 17 and 20 meters, have not checked the other bands yet... -- Paul VanOveren NF8J 5911 Snow Av Alto, Mi 49302 (616) 868-7149 __ 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

I have had the P3 for several months now and debating whether or not to purchase the SVGA board and an additional monitor for the larger display. I would be interested in anyone's comments about their experiences in doing the same, comparing what their thoughts were, using the P3 before and after adding the board and the larger display.

[Elecraft] Meteor explosion in Chelyabinsk, Russia
Many on this reflector may know Willy, UA9BA, (UK9AAN) (UP2L) He is probably one of the most well known Russian hams..He and I have been friends since 1977. Here is the return email I received from him regarding his Vladimir Umanets Feb 16 (2 days ago) to Paul Hey buddy!!! Yes we're ALL fine! I was at my office with window jalousie closed. The windows are looking North. The meteor exploded about 20km South of Chelyabinsk and 50 km high. So the explosion couldn't be seen from my windows. Nevertheless it was like this - it started getting brighter and brighter in my office for about 1,5 second then it got very bright for maybe ,5 second, so bright that I almost got blind for a moment and then the light quickly disappeard. I was asking myself what could that be and thought of a nuclear explosion and waited for two minutes if anything else would follow, but nothing happened. But in one more minute this horroble very long and loud crashing sound came! The whole building was quaking with this sound and I clearly felt that the sound and the force came from the above. We all were ordered to leave the building and when we came out we saw this two line trace turning into one line trace with junction point just above our heads and little bit to the South. This cloud was very big and it seemed in very close proximity even though it turned out to be over 50 km away. I looked around and found out that lots and lots of windows were broken. The ambulances started coming in and I saw many people were injured and bleeding some couldn't walk by themselves. It was a very frustrating expirience and many people are still under shock. Even I go over and over those moments and don't feel normal, still kind of excited or something. I don't know what frightened me more the spectacular light, or the hit wave, or those bleeding people. All this happened on Friday morning at the plant I work for. The plant loss is estimated at 85 000 000 R which is en equivl. of 1.5 month salory of our 1900 employees. The plant lost about 25000 sq.m of windows, over 50 doors, lots of equipment (measuring, PCs and so on). This was the day I will remember till my last day. My family is OK. My house (42 km South of Chelyabinsk) lost its windows and that was the only damage to my family. By the way, this explosion woke up my 81 year old mother with its spectacular light. She lives in Troitsk 136 km South of Chelyabinsk. The hit wave came 6+ minutes later and was very strong as mother said. That's how it was. I now feel like I trust in God more and more... 73's GL, Willy UA9BA Пятница, 15 февраля 2013, 21:37 -05:00 от Paul VanOveren p...@nf8j.com: status after the Meteor hitting near his home/work sites.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 in the ARRL International DX contest
Jim, fantastic results with the KX3. Have not had the chance to use one yet, but had a great time with my K3(758) the KPA 500 and the P3 in the contest. Age is 73 so can't sit in the op chair very long anymore, but did manage 600 qs, 190 multipliers and 342,000 pts in about 14 hrs of S P only. TH11DX was the antenna. Cut the bandwith down with the 250 Hz cw filter and backed off on the RF gain and that really helped on 10 meters, where the signals were rather weak, the solar flux being only 100 or so... congrats, nice effort.. Paul On Mon, Feb 18, 2013 at 7:57 AM, Jim Sheldon w...@cox.net wrote: Gave the KX3 a workout in the ARRL International DX contest this past weekend. I hooked it up to the KPA500 and with the KX3 set to 5 watts out, I got between 130 and 138 watts out of the KPA500 which, naturally varied between bands with 130 out on 10 and just shy of 140 on 160. Bands were in pretty good condition and propagation from Kansas to most of the rest of the world turned out to be almost great. The money bands turned out to be 15 and 10 meters, but got a goodly number of contacts on 20 and 40 as well. I did make a few on 80 and 160 to boot. Total # of contacts 444, total QSO points 1332, multipliers 211 for a total claimed score of 285,052 points. Total operating time over the contest was 14 hours out of the 48 total. Entry was in the Single Op, Unassisted, Low Power category. My friend and neighbor that runs an Alpha 9500 amp and used to overload the front end of any rig I had before the K3 was absent from this contest for some reason so I didn't get to run the KX3 under really extreme conditions. It never exhibited a selectivity or overload problem that I noticed. I operated in search and pounce mode most of the time, doing a CQ run only on 10 meters during a time when it was just marginally open on Saturday afternoon. Even running S P I got my QSO rate up over 65/hour for several short periods on both 15 and 10 meters and the last few minutes of the contest on 40. I had the iPad and iSDR running for the panadapter and it was really nice to be able to view the weak stations in reference to the big guns and with the roughly 150 watts out of the KX3/KPA500 combination, if the station was over S5, I had no trouble working them. Amazing how much better the op's ears get in a contest, even with good propagation. As I was tuning up the band, I watched the panadapter rather than the radio and could easily see if I passed over a station that wasn't transmitting when I rolled over their frequency if I didn't tune too fast. Really helps when working S P. The iPad/iSDR combo is nowhere near as good as the P3, but since the P3 doesn't work with the KX3, it had to do. I've gotten so used to the K3/P3 combination in a contest (or even general operating for that matter) that if my P3 died for any reason, I'd stay out of a contest until I got it fixed, it's that valuable to me! 40 opened early, or maybe it had been open all along and the EU stations just moved there for the last hour of the contest, I don't know. Regardless, I switched to 40 during the last 45 minutes I operated (shut down about 5:45 p.m. local - 23:45 UTC), started right at the bottom of the band and worked every EU station I heard calling CQ. Funny, the US big gun stations were all calling CQ and getting nothing. I got there first and grabbed 'em while things were quiet and I didn't have to try and bust many pileups (which didn't seem to be much of a problem either) so during that last 45 minutes, I picked up 40 of the 46 stations worked on 40. Managed 10 on 80 and 7 on 160. Worked on all 6 bands were KH7X and HK1NA. Logging was with N3FJP's latest ARRLDX program (version 3.0) and I used a Griffin PowerMate set next to the keyboard to control the KX3's frequency, sharing the com port via a commercial port sharing program. Overall, the KX3 performed very well, it's RX sensitivity is outstanding, the NR isn't perfect, but it did help some, especially on 80 and 160. It wasn't really needed on the other bands as signals were so far above any noise for the most part that it was easy to work them.

You read one bad review on Eham and make that kind of statement.. .Out in the real world the K3 has a bad rep for splatter and imd3 pro I have K3 # 758, now over 4 yrs old, and have run it at 100 watts (as recommended) barefoot, into a Alpha 76 PA @ 50 watts and now into a Elecraft KPA 500 with 25-30 watts. After more than 5500 qsos over the 4 yrs, ragchewing, chasing dx and contesting, I have had the following numbers of bad audio, splattering or key clicks reports, 0 , zero, nata, none, zlich. IMHO, to make a statement like that (without any documentation) is reckless and unwarranted.

I must have changed something in the configuration of my P3... With the cursor type set as “bar” and in the the “finest” rate, 3 # to the right of the decimal, everything is fine.

In the coarsest rate, 1 # to the right of the decimal, if I tune the A VFO rather rapidly, I get flashing B marker lines, above and below the center frequency curser..

My good friend, W8DA has written several apps for Android phones and Android Tablets, including, Morse Trainer, Morse Decoder, DTMF, DX Cluster, NCDXF Beacon, Droid PSK, Droid RTTY and now Droid SSTV. These allow you to simply place your Android Phone or Tablet by the speaker of your Transceiver and receive any of them and with a simple interface also transmit, PSK, RTTY and SSTV. I have NO financial interest in Wolfgangs enterprise, he is simply a good friend and innovative programmer.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net cancellation
Does it really matter if the report is 559 or 599, the important part is that you get the call sign CORRECT and the zone, country, serial # or power. That is what the contest managers require, that you can copy all the information correctly. As mentioned earlier, the 599 is more or less a preamble to getting the power, country, or serial number, which is the important part of the exchange in addition to the call sign. I could care less, even during a non-contest qso what report the other station gives me for a report, if he gets my call sign correct and maybe my name and qth, I don't give a rip what his S meter reads.. What I do not understand is the stations that run at 50+ wpm. Many of us that run at 25-30 wpm simply bypass them and go on to someone we can copy on the first time. I guess that there are the top notch ops that can copy at 50+ but eventually they are going to have worked all/most of them and my thinking is that perhaps they might work more stations by slowing down a bit..YOMV. Paul NF8J Why be upset with a 599? Because of that very same variability; it is highly unlikely that you will have exactly the same propagation to different parts of the world at the same time, so why should you accept the same report from all contacts without question?

Finished the kit today, about 4-5 hrs time wise, love it so far, great reports, audio, etc. Everything worked fine except the amp talking back to the K3. It would follow the band changes from the K3 to the amp, but not the other way, had to set the menu AUXBUS to ON. (the default is OFF) And the 2 power settings (standby or operate) did not work initially, but changing the menu item PWRSET to PErbAnd did the trick.

[Elecraft] This is weird. K3
All of a sudden my K3 # 758 is acting weird. It recognizes the ATU in that the little ATU is present on the display, but no signals are received in the radio, only a hiss. If I try to adjust the power setting it will read from 0.10mw and - 10.0 db to 1.5 mw and 1.8 db on the display, it stays there for only a second or two and then the display return s to normal. Altho the atu is showing on the display and I tap the tune button, the display changes to NO ATU and the normal clicking sounds is not there. When I hold the XMT button to perform the Tune function, the display changes to 1.8 db and 1.5 mw rather than the swr and power, it does change to the cw mode however. This all happened after I unhooked the rs232 cable from the back of the K3 so I could plug in my Yamaha CM-500 headset, which I removed for a day. Just for grins I went to the K3 Utility and did the resore K3 configuration button. Presto, signals back, power control normal, ATU clicking again, Tune fuction reading swr and power...I am so glad, but can anyone tell me why removing the cable from the laptop to the K3 evidently corrupted something?

Also,after entering the call of the other station and hit the F2 key rather than the enter key, it works fine, just the call of the other station and the report...can not figure out what I have done incorrectly. Hitting the enter key after typing in the report from the other station, sends tu and K8DAA (my call). Obviously, I have the ESM mode checked in the CONFIG window, and the RUNNING box checked. If I uncheck the RUNNING box then of course, the program changes to Search and Pounch and then after typing in the call of the other station, hitting enter sends the reply correctly, the call of the other station and the report..but F2 and F3 do not function.

[Elecraft] K3, Cannot key amplifier
My K3, serial number 758, firmware 3.11, 215, will not key my Alpha 76 amplifier. There is no voltage present at the Key Out jack, with the K3 in SSB and the Vox on, or in CW mode, with the Vox on. The only way to key the amp is to use the PTT button on the Heil Gold Line mic. With the PTT pushed there is keying and output from the amp, both in SSB and CW. I suspect that it is a firmware problem but have gone thru the Config Menu and cannot figure out what settings may be wrong and perhaps need to be changed. I have taken the Bencher paddle out of the Winkeyer and inserted directly into the K3, but this does not make any difference. I used it on Field Day, without the amp of course and it performed flawlessly. The K3 has the 100 watt module, the ATU, KXVC module.

[Elecraft] K3 wierd action.
The last couple of days, on 20 meters, 14.070 in data mode for psk31, the TX led lights up intermittently, and the audio make clicking sounds. Of course, while watching the waterfall, the traces are interupted by the radio going into transmit, and I can not print the data on the screen. I am using HRD and DM 780 and have been operating for the last yr and a half with no problems. I powered the radio off and the power supply off and when turning on the ps and the K3, I get an error message on the B vfo line. ERR-Key, and then the banner scrolls and the error message goes away. I cannot find in the owners manual any reference to ERR KEY. When I switch the K3 to the Test Mode, the TX led does not light of course, but the traces continue to be interrupted by the radio going into transmit.. As far as I can tell, this behavior does not happen in any other mode. The K3 is serial # 758 and the firmware is 3.11 and the DSP is 2.15. Anyone have a suggestion of something I might ch eck.

[Elecraft] K3 - no rf in data mode (psk) after download of firmware.
I did my first download of the firmware tonite and now have no rf output, (1 bar) when transmitting on psk. If I hit the tune button, the mode changes to CW and the meter shows the 25 watts of rf. Can someone tell me how to undo the new firmware, I was perfectly happy with how the radio (#758) worked before I screwed it up.
