Re: [Elecraft] K2-Bias Resistor When Using Mic Connector Pin 1 for Soundcard Input

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

Don (and Jim for info),

There could have been another reason for not showing any text in the 
text-part if the message.


Jim might use a device like a "smart"phone  that sends HTML-only mail.
This mailman server is set to suppress and delete any HTML markup and 
attachments in received mails before sending it to all participants.


So, for anyone reading this: Send at least Plain Text + HTML or better 
still Plain Text Only to this mail-reflector.

Jim,

If I understand your question in the subject line (but no text to detail
your question) - then the answer is that it all depends on the
soundcard.  If it has a DC blocking capacitor in the input, then all is
well with the bias resistor in place.  If there is no DC blocking at the
soundcard, the the bias resistor will have to be removed or a special
cable with a DC blocking capacitor will have to be inserted between the
mic input and the soundcard AF input.  A capacitor of 1 to 5 uF should
do fine.

If this does not answer your question, the respond with more text
instead of us trying to guess from just a subject line.

HTML and plain text works but no markup will be shown, just the plain

And finally any attachment is removed on arrival on the reflector.
So please write your question again as "plain text only"
I don't know how this must be set in Gmail, I use a local program to

Hope this helps.

Re: [Elecraft] Simulated Stereo

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

Hi Bob,


Yuck!


Indeed that's what I would say also.
I for one can't stand anti-phased headphones. I once discussed that over 
using stereo-headphones being fed at tip and ring and left the common 
open. The comment was: No one hears that. Well I do! Splitting mono into 
high and low pitched sound seems fine at start but fatigues just as much 
as anti-phase. Only the spacial setting on the KX3 is very useful but 
even then I like to switch back to mono at times.


Just my €0,01

Yuck!  As a retired recording studio engineer, CBS Records, having the
same signal out of phase by 180 degrees to one ear, is much like
sticking and ice pick in ones ears.

Most systems will have a variable phase shift depending on frequency,
usually not to exceed 30 degrees.   In this case, the leading phase
signal will appear from that direction.   In others, bandpass filtering
moves the higher frequency to one side and the lower to the other.  From
an audio perspective, this still sounds like "fake stereo".    It is
just messed up monaural.  There's lots of that today.

The K3S has the AFX function that does an excellent job of signal
spatialization and sounds quite nice on SSB signals.

The "connector" I used was a 2 pin connector that is/was in use in

They fit perfectly and can be salvaged from nearly any old PC. Use the

Yes,Ludwig, it works OK, now!

I use Thunderbird as well and have set it to plain text from the start 
using it. I am against any markup. It has been asked many times to 
change that on the qth.net mailman and many times was responded with 
"no" by the maintainers. Users that send both should know that markup is 
removed and only the plain text part is distributed.

Data is money so keep the data as small as possible.

What is the "R" in the display below the filter icon of the SUB RX?
The upper part of the "R" is white, the lower part is yellow. Some
illustrations in the Introduction to the Elecraft K4, e.g. the page
RECEIVER CONTROLS AND ICONS, show the icon K4D at this
position. Mine is a basic K4 without D.

Re: [Elecraft] Demure Request -- html test email

No it does not change HTML into plain text. The average mail client, 
like Thunderbird can be set to send both HTML and plain text.
Some clients, more specifically those that use webmail CAN send in HTML 
only.  'Smart' phones and tablets have this deficiency too. That leaves 
a blank message on this reflector.
Those people that use markup in their text hoping that bold and italic 
or colors get through, beware: It does NOT work here.

Lest's keep it that way.

I for one send plain text only, no HTML at all.

Re: [Elecraft] RTL SDR dongle

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

Eric,

I have a NooElec R820T that does work from 25.85 MHz to 1766 MHz

Anything lower that that needs an upconverter afaik.
I can tell GQRX to go lower but it then detects nothing anymore...
GQRX is a Linux SDR program where a funcion that says "No limits" allows 
to tune higher and lower than these two frequency limits.


I suppose you more likely need an attenuator between the upmixer and the 
dongle.

Elecraft Mail LIST GUIDELINES

For those of you who are new to the list, (and for those of us who have
rapidly failing memories..), here is a quick list of things to remember when
posting to this list. Please save this for future reference.

The most important thing to remember is that this is only a hobby - Let's
have fun!


1. YOU MUST BE SUBSCRIBED to the [Elecraft] list TO POST to it. (This is
done to stop advertising spammers from hitting the list.) Any postings sent
to elecraft@mailman.qth.net by addresses different from the exact ones it
shows as subscribers will be rejected.

This includes alias (forwarded) addresses like w1...@arrl.net. If you use an
alias to subscribe you must have it as your from: and return address too.
Subscribing with w...@arrl.net from your physical address of
j...@aol.com will allow you to receive postings, but your postings to
the list will be rejected if their from: and reply to: address does not
match your subscribe address..

Go to http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft to subscribe and to
change your list preferences. To unsubscribe or to change your list
preferences (digest, no mail on/off etc.), scroll to the bottom of the page
and log in with your subscribed email address and the password that was sent
to you by email when you subscribed (and monthly afterwards.)


2. If you want to provide an attachment, .JPG picture or other large
file for use on the list, first post it to your personal web
page and then post a link to its address in an email to the list. The list
strips all attachments to prevent viruses from propagating and to keep
the archives at a reasonable size.


3. Please keep the amount of copied text from previous posts to an
-ABSOLUTE MINIMUM- in your replies. Always delete -everything-  from the 
prior

post except what is necessary to keep your reply in context. Most copied
messages can be reduced to one or two sentences to retain context. 
Remember to

delete the email list footer from the previous post and especially avoid
copying a long posting and adding 'Me Too!' or something similar. As the
number of users on this list grows (over 1500 now) we need to work to 
minimize

information overload... If a reply is -not- of interest to the list, just
reply directly to the posting party.


4. EMAIL OVERLOAD:
If you are overloaded by the volume of individual messages on the list,
You can view the daily Elecraft list messages for each month in web
format at: http://www.elecraft.com/elist.html . These archives are updated
hourly and list postings by subject. Just click on the ones you are 
interested
into read. You can also set your list email preferences to 'no mail' 
delivery,

which still allows you to post to the list when reading via the digest.

You can also change your subscription to the DIGEST version, which sends 
you a

single compilation each day.

To change your email list options or to subscribe / unsubscribe, go to:
http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft
Scroll to the bottom of the page to log into your preferences page and set
your mail options to 'no mail'.

4a. Please make an effort to keep list volume under control by resisting the
urge to post a comment on every long discussion thread (CW, Soldering 
etc.) With

close to 2,000 list subscribers volume can quickly get out of control if
everyone feels the need to comment. while we do not overly restrict the 
subject

matter on this list, please remember that its primary focus is on Elecraft
products, and their use. Many people rely on it for pointers on building and
troubleshooting their kits.

4b. *** [NEW] When emailing about a specific rig or option, please add the
rig/option name(s) to the first part of your email subject line. (K1, 
K2, K3,

KX1 etc.) This will be a huge help for those experiencing email overload and
will allow automatic filtering based on subject line.

Examples: "Subject: K3, Filter Options"
   "Subject: KX1, How to use ped portable?"
   "Subject: XG2, Wow! Its a big help.

5. *** IMPORTANT - PLEASE KEEP ALL POSTINGS CORDIAL.
Restrain the urge to email someone admonishing them about a posting.
The last thing we want to do is to scare anyone off the list. Overly 
aggressive
postings and negative comments about other posters only serves to scare 
away new
potential list members.  Waiting over night before hitting 'send' really 
helps

to put things in perspective..

If you have a complaint about someone or a thread please email it directly
to me ( eric(at)elecraft.com ) and I'll address it.

5a. Please do not post publicly or privately asking people to stop a

"If I ask something about a setting of something everyone should know 
I'm talking about my K3", so they end up in the main folder and I have a 
hard time to get rid of these messages...


Messages from users of the digest that do not change the subject line:
Those messages are filtered straight to the trash... When I close 
Tunderbird the trash is emptied automaically.


If only we could stick to the RULE that one starts an item with the type 
of gear I would be very happy because the filter can take good care of this.


Please use the reflector and do not divert to yahoo/google/groups.io 
etc. Share information at one place, do not split it up.

In changing menu choices for my style of CW operating I noticed the letter T in

Believe this has something to do with digital operating but can’t remember.  
Waiting for the manual to arrive (omitted in shipment) so could some kind

In normal CW mode I don’t believe the T should be in the display.

Sorry Pierre, "they" don't... Not for radio amateurs.

Amateurs have a license to live up to. Government may restrict 
commercial amateur gear to be restricted when it leaves the factory but 
if a licensed amateur hampers this for the sake of having special 
functions they should be able to do so without rendering the radio 
illegal. A K2 is not leaving the factory as a complete unit but as a 
bunch of parts that can be put together by qualified users. Spain as a

Re: [Elecraft] URL???

The thing is that what you sent was not a URL.
One should not omit the protocol...
I copied the URL from my browser and pasted it here. It adds "https://";

https://catalog.data.gov/dataset/ionospheric-digital-database

is the true URL including the protocol and should be shown as such in 
any decent mail client and be clickable to launch your browser.

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

Groups.io works exactly like a reflector like mailman to me.
Like said time and again: Use a proper client like the free Thunderbird 
mailprogram. It is there for all three major operating systems.


Do not use a web interface and stick to plain text for reduced message 
size and DO NOT USE A SMARTPHONE unless you know what that enter key is 
for. Proper formatting makes a mail a lot more readable.


If you use a digest and a mail cient PLEASE do NOT use the reply button 
but copy/paste the subject + text you want to reflect on! Of course, if 
you are the 100th in line, cut short the answer.

Re: [Elecraft] Battery pack not powering K2

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

Hello Robin,

10,5 Volts is very low for a 12 V.lead-acid battery. Try to load it with
a lamp or resistor and measure the voltage at the battery again under
load condition. I doubt that all cells in the battery are good. The gel
in these batteries can dry out, which is killing them.

There is also a series diode in the supply-line to prevent damage due to
reverse connection of a power supply that at least has a voltage drop of
0,2 volts. I don't recall on what voltage the K2 will cease to work.

Hi,

  


I hope someone can help me here. I have K2 with the internal battery kit.

I have used this radio with the battery for many years, but now I have a 
problem.

When I power up the radio with only the battery it is dead, no display nothing.

When I apply a PSU it works fine.

I have checked all the connections P3 (Aux) and the Int. Battery switch on the 
back panel is ON.

Anyway, nothing has changed since it last worked.

When I check the voltage on the battery terminals it says 10.5V. I get the same 
reading on the P3 connector, so power is reaching the radio, but the radio is 
not powering up.

  


Any suggestions?

  


Thanks

Re: [Elecraft] CW sending Using two keys Macro to switch mode for right and left?

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

I glued a 6.3 mm jack to the base of my Hex-Key paddle and a common
cathode double Schottky diode, that can be found in nearly any old PC
power supply, to create a straight-key input for the K2 (doesn't work 
for other rigs...) and while gluing I made a

small DPDT switch to reverse the paddles for left hand operation...
I know that it can be set from the menu but the switch is much easier.

It's surprising how many hams didn't know this reverse thing. I just 
said "start sending with your left hand and do not even try to think 
which side to hit for dots and dashes, just send! One of them was left 
handed and learned to send with a right hand wired paddle. I let him 
send with his right hand and off he went... Yes: Practice!

the paddles so that one was 'right handed' and the other was 'left handed'.
If that won't work, I apologize, but I think it will, and then all you need

no macros, switches, or changing the position of the paddle on the desk.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 and WSJT-X Setup

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

Aaron,

What you fail to tell is: What hardware does your Linux Mint 18.3 run on?
What I don't know and cannot test is what USB device code is produced by 
the SignaLink. Normally a sound card is recognised by the linux kernel 
but in some cases it isn't


Try to open a terminal screen (Ctrl-Alt+T) and type: lsusb
That will list the available USB-ports in Linux and any asociated device.

On the other hand: If the PC is a desktop and has both a line in and 
headphone out, use these to route audio to and from the KX3. WSJT-X 
produces an audio tone that is transmitted as a carrier by the KX3 and 
receives an audio tone from it, hence the dial setting and the use of 
Upper Sideband.


In Mint, audio in and out can be set by right clicking on the 
speaker-icon and choose audio-settings from the drop down menu.


There is no need to set the audio to 48000 Hz in the config.
I have never done this and WSJT-X, to me, works as advertised. Even on 
my Raspberry Pi and an external Creative XFi USB soundcard.


Of course YMMV

73, Peter

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

I haven't seen any repeating mails here.
I use Mozilla Thunderbird and POP3. I store mail locally and have it 
deleted on the mail server of my ISP so I don't sync with a remote 
server with IMAP as many others do. I prefer real mail over digests and 
immediately dump what I don't need.
But then again I am a computer nerd that uses Linux as OS, a real mail 
client and know what to look for in a mail header...

Re: [Elecraft] Antenna Analyzer (FA-VA4)

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

John,

I saw that one on FunkAmateur/Box73, they sell the kit.

What appeals me is the price (155 euro), the simplicity the way it can 
be built, the features, apart form being a nice graphical analyzer it's 
much more like a signal generator from 100 kHz to 100 MHz. It's readable 
in direct sunlight due to it's LCD type (like te one on a K3 even the 
same backlight color) And the power supply: it uses two AA cells.


I have it and I can say: Highly recommended.

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 / KX3 Firmware

You are right, Grant.

Only this mail landed in my KX2 folder that normally when read, is 
emptied for I have no KX2... You typed inadvertently XK3 in the subject 
line. I have created filters that scan for types of Elecraft products 
and sorts them in the proper folders.


This mail from Wayne, however, I kept, for any announcement on behalf of

Any indication if/when these updates will be provided in a new KX3 FW release?

Re: [Elecraft] practicing CW on K2 without transmitting?

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

I glued a 6.3 mm jack to the base of my Ham-Key paddle and a common 
cathode double Schottky diode, that can be found in nearly any old PC 
power supply, to create a straight-key input and while glueing I made a 
small DPDT switch to reverse the paddles for left hand operation...

I know that can be set from the menu but the switch is much easier.

With the K2 powerknob fully CCW it still produces some 100 mW output as

The TEST option Don W3FPR suggested is imho the best solution.

Re: [Elecraft] Kx3 rfi when power set to 0watt

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

Hi Eben,

Welcome to "Radio-land"

If that is normal is not for me to decide but...

I actually measured the power level of my KX3 in CW with 0.0 watt as set 
level.


It varies from band to band. On 50 MHz I found -18 dBm and on the HF 
bands between -20 and -30 dBm.


On 14 MHz I found -23 dBm as carrier level and the noise over the range 
from 3 to 18 MHz -50 dBm, dropping rapidly to -80 dBm on 20 MHz and above.


-23 dBm = 0.005 mW or in "S-units" S9+50 dB. Enough to drive a sensitive 
receiver nuts in close proximity. A good dummmy load to terminate the 
KX3 is always a good idea when "dry-land swimming" the radio.

I'm a new ham and this is my first radio...

So far I've managed to make contact on 80m but it leaves a lot to be desired.

While messing around I tuned a portable receiver to the same frequency
as the kx3. I had the kx3 power set to 0 watts and keyed the mic. The
receiver produced qrm every time I did this.

Is this normal?

Re: [Elecraft] Really OT: Inside-the-vehicle HF antennas (possible bonus points)

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

Not only FM, Ron. In my car it's for both FM, MW and LW
The lines are formed in a strange way, not just horizontal parallel 
wires but here and there are openings. It works well on all three bands, 
that is until the last MW and LW transmitters are turned off here in 
Europe and FM will be left alone... FM is largely swapped for DAB+ at 
the moment.

Hi Dieter,

The PX3 is of course the most obvious choice but using a PC I think 
FLDIGI will certainly do the job. Just use the sidetone the KX3 
produces. Route one audio channel on the stereo phones output to the 
sound card input of the PC and use the other to drive a headphone or 
speaker.

Re: [Elecraft] So: Which mini-keyboard to use with the PX3?

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

Hello Wayne,

I have tested and use a Rapoo wireless ultra-slim keyboard model E9070 
with a very tiny  2,4 GHz dongle. It has an on/off switch at the bottom 
and works, as far as I can tell, flawless.


It does have a numeric keypad but still measures only 340 mm x 110 mm x 
5 mm at the "spacebar" end and 10 mm at the upper part, due to the 
battery container, so it has a slight slant by nature. the backside is 
stainless steel sheet.


I bought it in the Netherlands but as far as I can see Amazon has it 
too. I paid 25 euro for it.

keyboard is exactly as wide as the two... And it has an on/off switch.

Re: [Elecraft] Different Reflectors for different models

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

Jim,
You may not mind but it is a formal request by the moderator to do so.
I do filter, but not to delete messages. I use the filter option to have 
the subjects split into different sub-folders, named with the 
corresponding type of equipment.


Deleting what is not of my interest is still an easy task. I simply do 
not know what extra burden it is just to start a question with "K3 " if 
it is specifically about a K3 or "KPA500 " if it concerns a KPA500, in 
the subject line.


Clearly I am against a separate list, for I too like to read all 
discussions to learn more about our common hobby.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Below 500 KHz RX Antenna

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

Hi Phil,

Ever heard of the "pa0rdt mini-whip"?
Want to know how it performs?

Listen to the WEB-sdr at the Twente University made by PA3FWM.
It uses such a mini-whip created by PA0RDT.

I have one in my backyard, just two metres above the earth on an 
aluminium pole in a plastic box that formerly contained a HP printer 
power-supply.


I regularly listen to the transmissions of the old Alexanderson 
alternator in Grimeton Sweden (callsign SAQ) that transmits on 17.2 kHz 
from time to time but also on all amateur bands up to 28 MHz although 
the upper limit is stated as 20 MHz.
Incredible to be able to receive the alternator on a piece of PCB-copper 
clad of just a few square centimetres... Ok, SAQ's output is in the 
order of 200 kW.

http://alexander.n.se/

The WEB-sdr can be found here:
http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/

Mind you it can be very busy !
On Android you should use Mozilla Firefox to listen to it.

Info about the pa0rdt-Mini-Whip can be found here:

The document starts in English but continues in Dutch and Italian.

Subject: [Elecraft] Fixed-Tune mode for the PX3: Very early version

Hi all,

Fixed-tune mode is now pretty much working on the PX3, though it's not 
quite ready for beta test. (In fixed-tune mode, the PX3's displayed 
frequency range stays "fixed" rather than "tracking" the KX3's VFO A 
frequency. This feature is very popular with users of the P3, the PX3's 
big brother.)


We're looking for a couple of thrill seekers who (a) *really* want to 
test fixed-tune mode, (b) won't be rattled when they encounter they 
occasional bug, and (c) can start giving our development team feedback 
right away, as in tomorrow.


If you're interested, please email me directly (n6kr at elecraft dot 
com). This will be a very limited distribution, but I suspect we'll be 
ready for beta in a week or two.


Thanks!

Wayne
N6KR


So I assume it's on it's way.
I have a PX3 too but I for one am not missing the "fixed tune" option 
and drew that card a while ago...:-)


If Wayne still wants an extra field tester I would jump in though...

Re: [Elecraft] Cw decode text, again

I don't. I always use the internal keyer of my K2 and KX3.
Only on the KX3 I use a straight key connected to the front connection 
that is normally used to connect the KXPD3 paddle, in order to be able 
to use both a paddle and a straight key without switching or replugging.


If you happen to have an Android smartphone, download the free Morse

speaker. Works quite well.

Re: [Elecraft] PX3 with "other" I/Q Receiver?

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

I did, it works

With a Softrock-RX for 30 metres. The LO is an xtal on 40.5 MHz that 
produces 10.125 MHz and that shows on the PX3 as 0Hz.
The real problem comes with the need to recalibrate te I/Q phase and 
amplitude in order to have a good image rejection.
On -25 kHz I see the DDK9 teleprinter and on +20 kHz I see the average 
bunch of data modes and in between: CW sigs.
For me it was merely "try and see what happens" for the KX3 obviously 
rocks much better...

Assuming these are standard api type  commands it could be a possibility. Could

Re: [Elecraft] Need size of Allen wrench for small knobs on K1

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

Don,

On the other hand, Wikipedia says:
Hex keys are measured across-flats (AF), which is the distance between 
two opposite (parallel) flat sides of the key. Standard metric sizes are 
defined in ISO 2936:2001 "Assembly tools for screws and nuts—Hexagon 
socket screw keys", also known as DIN 911, and, measured in millimetres 
(mm) are:


0.7, 0.9, 1.0, 1.25, 1.3, 1.5
2 to 6 in 0.5 mm increments
7 to 22 in 1 mm increments
24, 25, 27, 30, 32, 36, 42 and 46 mm.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hex_key

So 1,25 mm does exist in the metric world and in my set there is one but 
I have the imperial set as well, including 0.05"


However, I do have kept the supplied wrenches for my K2 and KX3 apart 
together with some spare nuts and bolts...

I don't believe you will find a proper fitting wrench in a set of metric

Re: [Elecraft] [PX3] v1.16 Bug?: Cursor in AM mode

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

Hi Nakamura

I think you're right about this but also I think that the lo/hi-cut 
settings affect the audio and not the "IF" bandwidth.


I know that in the Perseus software you can influence both AM sidebands 
independently and in fact listen to only one sideband plus carrier in 
both AM and AM-sync and probably you would like to have that option as 
well in the KX3... The only way I can get this option is by using the 
KX3's I/Q output, a PC and HDSDR-software. HDSDR toggles in AM-sync 
between LSB, USB and DSB with a simple click on the AM-Sync button.

AM mode bandwidth indication of PX3 will be inferred that it VSB(Vestigial

Since using the VSB, will be displayed cursor across the carrier frequency,
such like this:

_==C=_ : Vestigial Lower Side Band VSB

Future, if the SYNC-AM mode is supported, you'll be switching to Vestigial
Upper side band.

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3 MCU:2.27] Strange behavior of PBT

This happens on LSB too but to me there is no audible difference at all

on 5 in SSB. Probably next FW update will be the inability to set the

The PBT of firmware version 2.27 of KX3 has strange behavior.

If you select the USB mode at least once, you can't set the PBT to "LOW:

After you have set the LOW to 0.00, you can not set the HI to 3.00.

The LOW will become automatically 0.05. Therefore, the value of the HI will

issue they should correct.  I cannot understand the logic burning the
backlight while charging 12-16 hours.

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] Audio going low when tuning towards a strong station - SOLVED

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

Dag Wouter Jan,

Mooi dat je het hebt gevonden!

Ik heb die KXFL3-mod wel uitgevoerd dus ik kon je probleem niet 
reproduceren...


Ok wat de PA-beker betreft, ik heb je dus helaas gemist. Ik gebruikte 
wel de techniek die jij ook hebt geprobeerd maar met QRP kun je beter 
zoeken dan roepen, ik heb misschien twee QSO's gemaakt door CQ te 
roepen, verder heb ik steeds gezocht en op het laatst zelfs een paar 
keer een call ingetikt in de AYQ software om te zien of ik die al had. 
Meestal wel dus. Nou we zien wel weer wat het oplevert, ik denk niet dat 
ik nog 's 2x tweede in de QRP-sectie wordt, zoals vorig jaar...


Succes met modificeren!

Hi all,

Many tanks to all who responded, after disabling VFO NR, the problem went
away! Thanks VK2RQ for the pointer.
I tried it out while listening to the LZ contest on 15m today, tuning
across the many contest stations in CW sounds so much better with VFO NR
OFF compared to VFO NR ON, the latter causes a ¨hickup¨ with audio going
low at every strong signal I tune across. Band noise is high enough at the
moment to mask the KX3 VFO tuning noise so no need to enable VFO NR.
Still, I plan to do the tuning noise mod on the KXFL3 as soon as I can find
some time to do it.

Wouter Jan PE4WJ


Hoi Peter,

Leuk van je te horen! Hoorde je nog in de PA beker contest maar heb je niet
kunnen werken (je werkte een ander station wat op die frequentie CQ gaf, ik
ging iets ernaast CQ geven maar je hebt me gemist denk ik:)

Nee de noise blanker staat uit. Maar, VK2RQ suggereerd dat het misschien de
VFO noise reduction (VFO NR) is, ik kijk vanavond even of ik die aan heb
staan.

73,

Wouter Jan PE4WJ

Well Eric, Kelvin is an absolute number, so there is no "less than zero"

Re: [Elecraft] KXUSB with Linux - Success with Mint

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

I have got it working in Ubuntu 12.04 64bit.
Indeed you need to add yourself to the dialout group and have the 32bit 
libraries.


It is an item that should be the system settings window under user 
accounts but as I wrote before in the reflector:


I had the same issue in Ubuntu Linux. The reason was that by default
only root has access to /dev/ttyUSB0.
If you add yourself to the group "dialout" like this:

In a terminal do at the ~$ prompt:

sudo usermod -a -G dialout 

where  should be your name as shown on the prompt before the $...

type your password...

log out then log in again and start the utility. By then it should work
ok. At least to me it did:-)

Canonical seems not to like people to mess around with group policies
therefore leaves out a gui application to set them.

-As far as I know group policy settings are back again in Ubuntu 14.04 
but as that has other less likable bugs I still use 12.04 and 
Gnome-session-fallback (yes: I don't like Unity)

Thanks to some helpful hints from several in the group, I found the solution to 
getting Linux (Mint 17 Qiana, Mate Edition) to work with the KXUSB adapter. 
Here is what was required…

- Click the MENU button and select the CONTROL CENTER

- Locate USERS AND GROUPS in the SYSTEM grouping

- Select your USER on the Users Settings screen if you have more than one user 
set up

- Select ADVANCED SETTINGS and Authenticate

- Select the USER PRIViLEGES tab

- Enable USE MODEMS by clicking the box

- OK and Close all the open screens and REBOOT or log out and back in

Your Elecraft Utility of choice should now find the proper port (/dev/ttyusb0 
in my case) and be able to to connect via the KXUSB.

Hello Paul

What you probably don't know, but should be known to the users of this 
reflector:


Mail MUST be in both plain text and HTML at least but preferably plain 
text only and even preferably in plain text only and leave out anny 
markup like text colors, bold, italic etc. for it will not show anyway 
and in some cases look weird, for example text starting and ending with 
an asterisk.


This reflector strips all HTML markup so any device that does not stick 
to this rule and creates HTML only produces mail with an empty body.


Please read the FAQ on:

as qouted in the footer of all mails.

Re: [Elecraft] [Bulk] Re: K2 Straight key auto detect

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

I did something similar. I soldered a 
two-Schottky-diodes-in-one-package-with-common-cathode device, salvaged 
from a switching PSU, on a 6.3 mm jack, glued it to the base plate of my 
sqeeze-paddle and I just have to plug in my straight key and can 
instantly use both.


Op 2014-09-19 09:41 schreef Matt VK2RQ:

For my K2, I made a short adapter cable, 3.5mm female to 3.5mm stereo male, and 
I soldered a couple of diodes inside the one of the 3.5mm connectors to bring 
both tip and sleeve of the male connector to ground when the tip of the female 
connector is grounded by a straight key. This goes into one of the female 
sockets on a 2x3.5mm female stereo to 1x3.5mm male stereo Y-adapter cable that 
is designed so one iPod can be shared with two sets of ear plugs. My paddle 
goes into the other female socket on the Y-cable, and the Y-cable goes into my 
K2.

I can then easily move between paddle and straight key, and the K2 will auto 
detect. In addition, the Y-cable means I don't have to fumble around at the 
back of the radio if I want to swap over some different keying devices.

I might have mentioned this before, but the K2 is a great radio:-)

It is!
Mine is called 3244... :-)

Hello Gerry,

I did not realize you are visually impaired.
Charles N2SO sent a message as well in a shorter form effectively

Re: [Elecraft] CW on ssbHello Everyone,

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

Owner's manual version C4 page 37:

CW WGHT
Adjusts element/space timing ratio (weight) for the internal keyer.
Additional functions of this menu entry, via numeric keypad:
Tap 1 to select S S B - C W (default) or S S B + C W (allows CW in SSB 
modes).

When CW-in-SSB is in effect, tapping the KEYER/MIC knob in SSB mode
alternates between keyer speed and mic gain rather than CMP/ALC and SWR/RF
transmit metering. CW transmit in SSB mode is not available if SPLIT is on.
Tap 4 to select V O X N O R (default) or A U T O O F F . The A U T O O F 
F setting
turns CW VOX off on power-up, avoiding accidental keying by attached 
PCs, etc.

Tap 5 to select automatic VFO offset on SSB/CW mode change (V F O O F S ) or
no offset (V F O N O R , default). Automatic offset is often used on 6 
meters, where

mixed-mode QSOs are necessary during fading. Note: Pitch matching will be
more accurate if USB is paired with CW REV, and LSB with CW normal.

Cheers,
Peter

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Macro programming question?

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

Hi Glenn,

I did something else for that purpose; I created a small pigs tail with 
a two pin female connector and a 6.3 mm female stereo connector at the 
other end for my straight key and plug the paddle in the "key" connector 
at the left side. In the setup I set the side connector to normal iambic 
and the front connector to "HAND" so I can use both without any 
switching at all.


The rightmost 2 vertically oriented pins in the hole that is used to 
connect the portable paddle, are to be used in that case. The small 
connector was salvaged from some junk-box-PCB and sealed with shrink-tube.


If you like I can send you a picture of what I made.

(probably just a handful now, I suppose...) ships. Germany seems to have 
enough money to maintain a 10 kW transmitter active 24/24 for ancient 
services.

Re: [Elecraft] PSK-D Feature request

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

The problem is the terminology, John.
In this case "FSK" and "PSK" should have been read as "ASCII" and 
"Morse code". The translation from "ASCII" to "Varicode" to "PSK" and 
vice versa as well as "ASCII etc" first to "5 bit Baudot" and then to 
"FSK" is done by software in the radio itself, as opposed to software 
running on a computer and processing audio going to and from a radio.


The second missing link is that FSK means simply a shifting carrier on a 
given frequency with a given offset in the frequency domain.
FSK can be amplified with whatever class used, PSK however is a single 
frequency which' phase is reversed in time hence amplitude driven and 
must be amplified linearly, something not understood by some operators 
who produce broad sigs with PSK, because the output meter is driven far 
too high or the input of their TX is already clipping.


Just my two cents...
HNY to you all,
Peter

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 IQ using NaP3

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

Tried it Bob: Spike still there. No difference with the previous 
version. I already had it at -110 dBm so not really an issue but using 
the I/Q cable supplied remains disastrous, you need the galvanic separation.

I could create the overload warning in 2.6 but the software kept running.

NaP3 uses 90% CPU in task manager regular breakups in audio
I like the "dual receive" over two audio channels.

HDSDR uses 20% CPU.
But the interaction via OmniRig to the KX3 is much slower

It is not due to running too many other applications. The 2GHz dual-core 
AMD CPU has enough room like 2.7 GB of memory.


Still a lot to find out here

OK, so I installed NaP3 as I said before.
Now I got my KX3 hooked up, set the rig control to KX3, connected the 
I/Q output cable to the Creative Xfi soundcard on my laptop, set the com 
port to the same as found with the KX3 util (com3 4800 baud) and it 
worked "out of the box"


I must confess that this was indeed very easy to set up. I will play 
some more:-)

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 IQ using NaP3

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

Sorry Ariel, Hit the wrong button...Should of course have sent it to the 
list instead of you.


I tried NaP3 but I'm afarid I am too much a HDSDR type so I get stuck on 
using PowerSDR and it's derivatives.


I tried NaP3 with my simple SoftRock mixer on 30 meters and found that 
indeed it automatically calibrates the I/Q phase and amplitude and does 
that quite fast. Using the second VFO I could receive signals but trying 
to tune the first one does not work, it stays put on 0 Hz. I can choose 
all sorts of transceivers but not the simple I/Q mixers, as in HDSDR. I 
have HDSDR working with my KX3 and will hook it up to NaP3 and post my 
findings.


To Al:

One of the most important things is to use an audio cable with an 1:1 
isolation transformer between the KX3 and the computer/soundcard input. 
Much of the noise you see stems from all sorts of ground loops.


To be continued...

Subject: [Elecraft] KX3 IQ using NaP3

Greetings All

I am trying to set up my KX3 to produce a band scope/waterfall display
using NaP3 (v2.2.4.3).

My system includes  a laptop running Win 7 Home Premium with a Intel
Core i3 CPU at 1.33 GHz with 4.00 (3.68usable) GB of memory and a 64-bit
OS. The modem I use is a USB E-Mu 0204 with the ASIO drivers supplied
with the E-Mu 0204. The ASIO drivers appear to work better than the MME
drivers.

I have 3 questions--

1. Do I need to set up frequency or global offsets.?
  I cannot find any reference in the KX3 manual or Fred's wonderful
little book. My experience is that NaP3 appears to ignore offset values
for the KX3.

2. Do I need to worry about the balance between the I and Q channels.
  My under standing is NaP3 does that, using WBIR. Furthmore, when I
play with the input levels on the E-Mu 2040, the display reacts, and
then returns to where it was.

3.  How does WBIR work?
 I am not convinced that I understand how to set up WBIR, and whether
or not it is actually working for me. My displays is full of images and
other noise, and the strong stations that I know are there are not visible.

A couple of observations--
I use commercial AM radio stations  (730, 980 and 1040 KHz) to do the
training, but I have problems ridding the display of images. Also, I
cannot see the AM stations on the band scope (perhaps I can on the
waterfall, but I suspect it is mostly my imagination). But, when I click
on the frequency, it centres and I can see the station, but not other
stations. This is often true on SSB, as well.

My real success occurred when I left my station on while I went for
lunch and did not get back to it for a couple or so hours. Most of the
images were gone, even when I switched to 80M SSB. Also stations started
appear on both the scope and waterfall.  I have not been able to repeat
this success. So, it does not appear that NaP3 had not saved WBIR
adaption. When I started up my system the following day, I was back to
my issues.

I am looking for suggestions as to how to properly setup this system. I
know it is possible, since I did it once.

Best of the Seasons to all
73 Al, ve7ear

Re: [Elecraft] auto-tuner needs more radio output to tune

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

Dave,
I have a tuner in my K2 (built in 2005 KAT-2) and one in my KX3. they 
never failed and in most if not all cases I was able to tune various 
pieces of wire tossed in trees to dipoles, resonant or not.
These tuners are very unlike the "YaeComWood-tuners" you mentioned and 
do tune vast ranges of impedances.


Cheers!

Hello David and welcome to the list.

As you can see your text is filled with HTML content.

Be it known that HTML is stripped from messages sent to the list.

Sometimes even completely blank messages will arrive having only a 
subject but no body.


In that case a mail client is used that creates "HTML only" messages by 
default.


So the bottom line is; Do not use HTML but plain text in your messages 
to the list.


And: No attachments too! But you can send a link to a website...:-)



Good luck with your KX3 and best 72/73,

Re: [Elecraft] Limited mail

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

John,

What you ask is not possible on the reflector. It is either all or 
nothing. Participants are asked to always put the type of Elecraft 
equipment, the mail is about, in the subject line but unfortunately 
frequently this is ignored.


I use an off-line reader (Thunderbird in my case) and have filters set 
up to move mails that have a type in the message's subject to move to a 
specific folder. Those mails that are of no interest to me are simple to 
delete. I do not use on line services like Nabble.


If you want to stop receiving mails form the reflector you need to go to 
the home page listed under all mails to unsubscribe, as in most, if not 
all reflectors.

in this case:

Re: [Elecraft] Help. K2 noise level variation with band selected

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

Hi Ray and John,

KSB2 manual page 22:
Note: The BFO settings for LSB and USB are swapped on 15, 12 and 10 
meters due to the K2's frequency
mixing scheme. If you use 17 m or below for making BFO changes, the 
following rules apply:
LSB: moving the LSB BFO lower in frequency will raise the voice pitch 
and improve carrier rejection.
USB: moving the USB BFO higher in frequency will raise the voice pitch 
and improve carrier rejection.


That's the reason for what you observe.

73,
Peter - PA0PJE

John Oppenheimer schreef:

Hi Ray,

I believe that your observation is normal. I performed a fresh CAL FIL
alignment on the two SSB modes, and tried your test, I get similar results.

When on 21 MHz, USB has lower frequency noise, LSB has higher frequency
noise.
