[Elecraft] K3: Elecraft magic

2010-05-18 Thread Pete Connors
Not only are the firmware updates magic, the K3 Utility updates are too:

I have been whinging to Gary at Elecraft support about the latest K3 
Utility RF gain calibration not writing the Sub RX gain calibration data 
to the EEPROM on my K3 with firmware 3.94. We feared a hardware fault 
and I had already enquired about cost and turnaround time when Dick 
Dievendorff came up with a K3 Utility beta that promptly cured the 
problem. It works with f/w 3.97 too.
I am awestruck; I do not believe that the Yaesu/Icom/Kenwood triumvirate 
will *ever* begin to approach this speed and quality of customer response.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 SubRX anomaly continued

2010-05-16 Thread Pete Connors
Gary,

I have now removed the front panel, reseated the aux DSP, replaced the 
front panel and reassembled with exactly the same symptoms.

This is the second time my K3 has developed a fault out of the blue and 
it is expensive (increasingly) to return things to Aptos for servicing. 
I would be grateful if we could localise the fault as closely as 
possible in order to work out the relative cost/benefit of returning a 
part for repair or buying a replacement. The latter has only a one-way 
mailing cost for me and keeps my K3 in service.

A further thought occurs to me: in 'external source' RF calibration mode 
the dsp is calculating the calibration data, and in 'factory default' 
mode the data writes to the dsp, so does this data *need* to be written 
to the EEPROM for calibration to survive power resets? Or is it just 
stored there for saving a configuration?

[Elecraft] Fun with your P3

2010-04-23 Thread Pete Connors
If you have never used a panadapter you are in for hours of amusement:
I am just looking/listening with PSDR/IF on 40m to a remote control ssb 
station (appropriately based in a city renowned for wind) whose spectrum 
below 200Hz is peaking 15dB higher than the rest of his signal. 
Integrate the area under the curve and you can approximate that at 
*least* half of his power is useful communication only for whales ;-)

And at other times when you heard spitch you will be able to see the imd 
christmas tree 40kHz away that is causing it. Probably with 'ALC' ;-)

You may also get a surprise with wobbly signals out either side of your 
passband (hopefully) on an empty band. Switched mode PSUs are the 
devil's work :-(

Have fun, Pete F5VNB

Sorry - I was wrong!
I had done a simple continuity test but, following the advice of Monty

Most WW2 Russian tank radios were the 19 set, a British design

That's another two friends who won't take offence :-)

I too was extremely nervous about those little smd parts but I 
eventually plucked up courage and found it astonishingly easy. You just 
need plenty of light, a fine bit, tweezers and a magnifying glass to 
check the work.

If something is not picked up, it may also be a good idea that *can't* 
be done. If so, a timely response from Elecraft would easily stop the:

I assume those who have done the IF buffer mod for their LP-PANs will 
experience a lower noise floor with the P3 unless it is going to 
incorporate extra IF gain, in which case how will the IF buffer mod 
affect the performance/use of the P3? Would it be better if the IF 
buffer mod came out?
