Re: [Elecraft] K4 Remote Antenna button

[Phil Genera]

I have neither a K4 nor a loop controller from Loftur[0], but my dream is
adding an ethernet interface to the latter and controlling it from the
former.

Hold on a second there, are pre-orders for K4 kits being accepted? If so
I've got a check to write...

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 3D/X-ray model live demo at QSO Today Ham Expo

[Phil Genera]

All of the actual talks (not the Q) are pre-recorded, unlisted youtube
videos with a transparent pane in front of them to make it hard to get to
the underlying video. A few moments with the page inspector in chrome will
get you the youtube link, which can then play back where and when you
choose.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3/KXPA100 as a mobile?

[Phil Genera]

To your second point, nothing. I had my KXPA100 in my basement for a few
years, directly beneath my operating position. It worked great, after a bit
of hacking to get the serial port accessible to the computer upstairs, for
CAT control.

It's in the kxpa100 utility, you can enable antenna ports per-band.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 - UHF emissions

[Phil Genera]

If you have an early KX3, you probably need KX3BNCMDKT, a new BNC connector
assembly with some inline filtering.

See: http://www.elecraft.com/order_form_parts.htm

 Hi,

 I've noticed that my pair of scanners often receive strong spurii from my
 KX3's
 receiver, in the UHF mil air band.  Whilst the spurii can be detected
 faintly
 with no cables attached to the KX3, when I attach certain cables, the
 strength
 of the spurii increase, most notably the I/Q cable, which causes (what
 passes
 for) the S-meter on the scanner to fully deflect. Connecting an antenna to
 the
 KX3 doesn't seem to have any effect.

 The other day I noticed that my scanner had stopped on a locally used UHF
 channel that was exactly 100 times the frequency in the 80m band that I was
 listening to.  Today I have noticed that listening on 7.08Mhz SSB, my
 scanners
 stop on 389.4Mhz, which seems to be the 55th harmonic of the KX3's dial
 frequency.

 This is affecting my AOR-8600mk2 and IC-R20. Unfortunately, I've also been
 developing a hybrid spectrum sensing scanner (called Onsense), that uses a
 HackRF to sample the mil air band and tune in my AOR-8600mk2 to the
 strongest
 signal detected.  I find that I am constantly having to add frequencies to
 Onsense's blacklist as I tune my KX3.  This isn't a good situation to be
 in.

 I already have a ferrite on the I/Q cable, but that doesn't help.  When I
 enable
 the 8kHz shift on the KX3, the previously detected spurii goes away.
  Whether it
 goes entirely or not, I don't know, it may just shift to another frequency
 that
 isn't being scanned.  The RX Isolation filter is enabled.

 Is anyone else having similar problems? Is this normal for a KX3?  Is there
 anything I might try to mitigate this?

 Cheers,

 Darren, G0HWW

Re: [Elecraft] XG50 - Frequency Instability

[Phil Genera]

This doesn't answer your question, but I was able to use the 5th harmonic
of my thunderbolt without trouble.

 I am trying to use my XG50 to run the Extended Temperature Compensation

 XG50 since building it. I have completed the 8 hour burn-in.

 When I first connect the XG-50 to my HP frequency counter, I get a
 reading of something like 49.379990. Then after running for several
 minutes it starts dropping in frequency to something more like
 49.32. It is still wildly fluctuating. If I connect the 10MHz output
 of my Trimble Thunderbolt GPSDO to the counter it stays quite stable
 just below 10 MHz.

 I re-soldered all the XG50 components and tried with both a metered
 home-brew power supply and a 12v SLA battery with the same result
 although re-soldering made a significant but not permanent improvement.

 My lab is in my photographic darkroom which has an ambient temperature
 of about 68 degrees F and the AC does blow across the work area.

 I find it a bit annoying that SSB defaults to 2.7 kHz and CW to 400 Hz.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 2M Question

[Phil Genera]

http://www.elecraft.com/manual/KX3-2M%20FAQ.htm

*Q:*  *What is the frequency stability?*



A: Standard (uncompensated) frequency stability is sufficient for FM or AM
operation. For CW/SSB/data use, it will be necessary to perform the KX3's
extended VFO temperature compensation procedure, providing typical
stability of about ± 10 Hz on 2 meters. This range is compatible with
170-Hz-shift RTTY but is not compatible with many narrowband modes,
including JT65 and WSPR.wband modes, including JT65 and WSPR.

Re: [Elecraft] Could this operate on a motorcycle?

[Phil Genera]

Its much easier to get a useful ground plane in a car, in my experience.

That said, i ran a 5w HT for 4,000 miles summer for APRS and found it
worked mostly fine. Going to do it again on my bike next month.

 Now I don't mean to sound critical, but is it somehow different for guys

 and have participated in groups as large as 400.  If cars get out of range,
 then we are either too spread out to be a group, or perhaps the group is
 too large if the front and rear cars cannot connect, or we cannot relay
 info.

 I suppose that is where knowing the route in advance plays a helpful part.
  We don't kibitz at every turn;  we pretty much know where we are going in
 advance ... well... all except for Wrong Way Joan who gets lost no matter
 what we do.

 Is it so different for bikes you need such a wide signal range?  We do
 multi state, multi day tours, so it it is not like we don't go anywhere, so
 I am wondering why you need more range than what a 5 watt rig might provide.

 Again...not being critical, genuinely curious about this.  Might learn
 something to take back to our club!

 I used about 60dB of attentuation between the oscillator and the rig, I

I did the same without any attenuation, and both kx3s survived :).

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Power On and AM

You could also build something to apply power to the PTT line and turn it
on:
To turn the KX3 on, a remote-control system can place 8 to 12 volts DC on
the mic jack’s PTT line for 100 ms or longer.

kx3 owner's manual, revision c2, page 28. Power off would still be two
buttons, or require a CAT command.
