Re: [Elecraft] WSJTX ON A MAC

[Richard Gilley]

Thank you all for the quick reply and suggestions.  Good work as all is well.

The CONFIG.PTT was set to other than OFF-OFF, made the change in settings 
ERR-PTT no longer an issue.

Following up on the Notes Guide and will make those changed also as I was 
getting the “Unable to creat shared memories ….” On a MAC M1.

Again thank you all for your kind replies.

[Elecraft] WSJTX ON A MAC

[Richard Gilley]

Hi all,

I loaded WSJTX on a IMAC and ran into this issue on my K3:  I have receive and 
Tx ok but I also have  ERR PTT displayed.  Pressing any key does not clear this 
error and I have no access to power adjust as an example.  CAT does go green 
but still the error.
I have gone over my WSJTX settings and settings on the K3 as listed in the 
manual, and I think I have the audio set correctly in the MAC.

I can run WSJTX on a PC with the K3 without any issue.

I have a feeling that not many folks use Mac but it is what I would prefer to 
use.

Thank you all for reading about my problem and that there is solution.

Best regards
R Gilley

Re: [Elecraft] Kat500 Firmwar

[Richard Gilley]

Thank you for your response.

Looks like I can down load 1.21.10.9, after download and Extraction I have the 
message Extraction completed successfully but the header still has 1.19..9.6.

I do have access to the KAT, so will leave it at that for now, too much time 
waisted.

Thank you again and to all those that responded

[Elecraft] Kat500 Firmware

[Richard Gilley]

Hi,
Having difficulty loading latest version of the Kat500 utility.  The 
version I have is 01.75, the utility indicates that 2.05 is available.  However 
the new version does not load but the message “ Input hex file is corrupt, 
check sum is not zero”

I have the same issue attempting to load a Mac and Linux.

Perhaps 2.05 is not available?  Or is there a fix I am not aware of, or perhaps 
it is not necessary to upgrade?

Thank you for your interest. Help would be appreciated.

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 Locked on Ant 1

[richard gilley]

Hi,
Thank you Dick K6KR, and  Skip NC90 for your help.  I ended up doing a 
factory default, enabled the ant per band and all is well.  
One question:  After setting the configuration, saving, shutting down, and 
powering up I found in checking "edit  configuration" ant 1 and 3 were no 
longer enabled.  However, all worked as expected. Should the latest 
configuration show the antennas enabled?  Perhaps not?

Thank you again, saving me a ship to CA.

Very Best regards
Dick AD1G

[Elecraft] KAT500 Locked on Ant 1

[richard gilley]

Looking for thoughts on my KAT500 that remains locked on Ant 1, cannot change 
to ant 2, manually or via the Elecraft utility regardless of the mode setting,  
 Set configuration to a later set up still no joy.  And of course does not 
tune, no relay actions, no caps set or inductors shown in utility. 
I am not aware of any electrical storms in the area.

Appreciate hearing from anyone who has an idea.

Thank you all.

Re: [Elecraft] Upgrading the Shack

[richard gilley]

When my Concept 2 rower was dropped off damaged; I was told by UPS that if a 
heavy item is not shipped Freight it will be damaged.  The why is, regular 
shipping is handled by hand thus gets damaged, freight is by pallet and fork 
lift.

[Elecraft] Most helpful

[richard gilley]

My vote must goes to Don Wilhelm.  He has a wealth of knowledge and 
understanding.  

Even though I have not experienced many issues with Elecraft hardware I did 
during my build of the K2, dumb stiff but I could always count on Don for his 
support.

I have had a bit of experience at customer technical field support and I sense 
Don’s welcomed patience.
Thank you Don Wilhelm

God Speed

[Elecraft] KX3 not switching ant when changing bands

[richard gilley]

Hi,
Following F. Cady advice on grounding the station equipment to a common 
bus, I did so.  My set up includes a KXPA100 with the ATU, the KX3 and PX3. Now 
I noticed that the KX3 does not always indicate the same antenna as the KXPA100 
when I switch bands.  Sometime it does and then does not, or will change after 
5 to 10 seconds.   I have a Vertical for 30 meters, and a Dipole for 40 and 20 
meters, the KXPA100 switches immediately.

I have powered down all the equipment, restarted and sometime this does the 
trick and all is well.  But sometime it does not.  If I remove the ground from 
the KX3 and the PX3 the issue goes away. 
The equipment ground is #18 stranded, < 10” to the bus, the bus has a copper 
braid to the KXPA100, the antenna grounds and on to the station ground rod 8’ 
feet outside the shack.

At the moment all is OK.  I just do not know the root cause.  Any ideas or 
thoughts.

[Elecraft] K2 noise

[richard gilley]

With so much talk on the K3 noise, AGC etc I thought I would ask if  
the following is normal on a K2.  Or do I have an issue with my build  
6732.
This K2 has the KSUB SSB and KPA100 additions.
With only battery power and ear phone connected; AGC off: AF fully  
clockwise; RF gain fully ccw; cw mode; fltr settings 200,400, or 700.  
any band,  I hear a definite constant, fairly low level, hash.

With RF gail fully clockwise and AF gain fully ccw, no hash is heard  
until AF gain is advanced from 7 o'clock to about 8 o'clock.

Would this be considered normal or do I have another issue to look into?

Best regards

 Hi Mike,

 I agree with you.  I sold my KDSP2 in return for a KAF2.  The DSP  
 functions in KDSP2 are just primitive when compared with modern DSP  
 rigs (e.g. K3).

 I got my KAF2 in the second hand market at a much lower price.  Of  
 course, KAF2 is even more primitive but it is real cheap.  You just  
 pay the price for an internal clock but with additional filter  
 function.

 I played around the KDSP2 with different settings (including the  
 default one) but the results were nothing encouraging.  Yes, it did  
 function as it was advertised but the artifact was annoying.  I am  
 now happy with my KAF2 (just a fraction of the price of KDSP2 in  
 the second hand market).

 Hi Dick,

 The KAF2 removes a lot of hf hash from the audio and makes listening
 to SSB much nicer.  An essential module I would say and many prefer
 it over the more fancy and expensive KDSP2.

[Elecraft] K2 trouble on the tracks

[richard gilley]

My K2 was operating fine, has the SSB module the latest addition, and  
The KTA100 addition.  Has been working fine for a week since the SSB  
addition. Was on 80 meters tuning up on low power, 3 watts, and the  
lights went out.
Removed the KTA100 and SSB board on QRP with power to min, press  
start: lights for 2 to 3 sec and quits.

Where is the best place to start?

Appreciate your help.

[Elecraft] Fwd: pulsing hash

[richard gilley]

Thank you all for your response. The hash is no longer heard.  As  
PA3A suggested, moving the inter connect ribbon cable up and away  
from the main K2 RF board solved the problem.
Appreciate your consideration.

Begin forwarded message:

 When running KComm, on the K2 as a logging program, I hear a pulsing
 hash, a varying amplitude hash with a peak rate of a few seconds.
 More prevalent on 40 meters, reducing a bit on 20 meters.
 When I disconnect all is OK.  The hash is not that disturbing but if
 you tend to pay attention it could be bothersome.   Any ideas?
 Thank you for your attention.
 Best regards

[Elecraft] Hi current

[richard gilley]

Question:

I am finding the following on my QRP K2 with KAT2, cal current set 3.7:
20 meters power setting 14.6, current displayed 2.84, CW
30 meters power setting 14.6, HI current displayed at CW TX, SWR  
1.2:1, current 3.74
40 meters power setting 14.6, Hi current displayed at CW TX, SWR  
1.2:1, current 3.72

Should I consider this as OK?
Or do I have an alignment issue on 30 and 40 meters or some other  
issue I should look into?
The ant. on 30 is a vert, on 40 and 20 a dipole cut for 40 and 20.

I am in the process adding the upgrade to K2/100 and do not want to  
create smoke.

Thank you for your consideration.
Best regards
Dick AD1G

 Your opinion is valued.
 I recently completed my K2.  And was thinking of  adding DSP.
 As a CW op only, would the KDSP2 be a good addition?

 Best regards

I just wanted to say that the K2 is wonderful as a kit and as a  
radio.  I want to thank you all, Don Scott and Gary for your support,  
Richard in Parts and the rest of the team..

You all made it fun, challenging and a learning experience.

What else have you got??

Just kidding

[Elecraft] Hi Current K2

[richard gilley]

 I am embarrassed to say but I have a high current indication on  
 nearly all bands during Tx. (new build and I thought I was being so  
 so careful).

 The Rec. draws 240 ma. at 12.4 volts.  Does change slightly with  
 option changes.

 Attempted transmitter Tune up Test Part Three page 77 has the  
 following results:

 4.045 Mhz   - Hi Cur LCD  to P19
 7.099 Mhz  - Hi Cur LCD  to P19
 10.00 Mhz  - Hi Cur LCD  to P18
 14.060 Mhz  Hi Cur LCD to  P16
 18.090 Mhz   NO  Hi Cur LCD to P.3
 21.054 MHZ  No Hi Cur  LCD to P.8
 25.012 MhzNO Hi Cur  LCD to P.1

 Power set to 2W and 1 W with same indication.

 Current limit set to 2.5A.
 Voltage on C of Q8 and Q7 at 12.4 Vdc.
 Res, measurements page 74 all within limits.

 Changed power supply, when I noticed voltage drop and high current  
 reading of 5 A.  No change with known good supply.

 Hints requested before I tear something.

 Best regards
 Dick AD1G

[Elecraft] K2 new build page 68 installation C22

[richard gilley]

Help anyone,

Page 68 RF board installation, C22 list a 3.3 pF cap.  I have two 2.7  
pF caps on hand and no 3 pF.  The inventory of parts does not list a  
2.7 pF.
Is this a substitution?

Thank you
Best regards

[Elecraft] Fwd: K2 new build page 68 installation C22

[richard gilley]

Thank you Philip, Don and jim.  The manual is revision G.  I did not  
see a note in the Errata.  The parts list did mention a 2R7 so I  
would guess that must mean 2.7.
I appreciate you help.


Best regards
