Re: [Elecraft] [P3] SVGA display issues - couple probs in fact!
Yes I found some interference on 144 and on 28 MHz from the P3 Ill throw some ferrites round the PSU cable the interference sloping on the screen did not occur on the SDR-IQ hanging off the IF port too so puzzled by it will see if I can make it occur again sometime!

[Elecraft] [P3] P3 and K144XV tvtr
Does the P3 need the transverter gain setting altered when using the int K144XV tvtr or is it set ok ?? I needed to bump the ref level down to about -156 to get the noise floor at a decent level on the P3 Anyone else using the P3 with the K144XV??

Re: [Elecraft] K144XV + K144RFLK issue
Hi Roger Hmmm thats interesting .. I wonder if its something hardware related then? I know I am not alone and some others have the same issues -so not just something locally in my station. Its not ext 10 MHz source - I have tried 3 different sources and all do the same as does my Rb standard too. Every 3 secs it jumps a good way ... at last 10-20 Hz if not more ... I have not measured it exactly but its very audible. Im keen to fix it for sure ... if I knew how!

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Display Anomaly
They are chirpsounders - normally on SSB or CW you may hear a 'blip' as they pass through using a pandapter you can see they whizzing up band visually! They are Ionospheric sounders mapping the layers. Quite useful tools. There are various radars and sounders also operating around 5-6 Mhz and 10 MHz TIGER around the 10 MHz spectrum is another ionospheric sounds and you will see various CODAR signals too (these are wave heights and direction radars for weather) not very useful! with their broadband noisey signals.

[Elecraft] K144XV + K144RFLK issue
HI All I dipped into the Elecraft world again with a K3/10 Plus Tvtr IF and K144XV Mainly as a transverter driver I bought the reflock for the radio and the transverter All is fine and my box is alive and well Just installed the K144XV and I notice an unusual change in receive freq when looking at a local beacon on 144 Every 3 secs or so it jumps about 10 Hz high or so then returns back to its normal freq - then 3 secs later does the same again not sure why its doing this any advice appreciated I have done all the cal routines and the main unit has 10 MHz applied and is locked - flashing * on the cal entry I only just purchased it so I assume the firmware would be the latest?

[Elecraft] Quick Feedback on K3 so far
Well #114 far exceeds my expectations. My main use is for VHF/UHF as an IF driver for microwaves. Yesterday it got connected to my Mutek 144 MHz tvtr which drives my dual band 10g/24g tvtrs I am really impressed with the audio quality, my ham friend who came to have a look had his jaw on the floor and simply said "wow!" Really superb audio! Even at 100 Hz - no ringing - clean crisp audio with a lovely "feel" to it - not harsh like my pro 2. Filtering is excellent and monitoring some of the beacons yesterday revealed how useful this baby will be - most people think that you can drive microwave tvtrs with an FT290 and it will work as good as a top line radio - which is nonsense - I need end to end performance and the K3 allows me to dig into weak signals unlike a normal VHF multimode like a 290 never could Low noise receiver is excellent and with my heil this sounds super - really pleased. No major issues during built - all smoothly put together - 1 evening and 1 mornings work. (I had a head start having built a number of K2s) So ... Impressed and waiting for this to develop further Some great features and with the 2nd rx this will really add to my station capabilty Well done Elecraft - another impressed customer! :-) 73 Simon DL4PLM And here is the final #114 finished and working on 10g/24g! http://www.pbase.com/dl4plm/image/89757721.jpg Simon Lewis GM4PLM/DL4PLM http://www.dl4plm.net ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

RE: [Elecraft] Elecraft K3 Support on the Weekends?
Henry I would install the PAIO board that's in the 100w pa kit and use that by setting the right setting in the menu PAIO normal setting under the KPA config item - That should work as intended but with no PA installed and allow your basic tests The PA jumper is only needed if the 100w pa is not installed and no PAIO board is available as far as I can see.

I thought that with all of us building these over the weekend, there would be someone answering support questions. But, I know they have been busy, and maybe need some time off to deal with other issues. I do have the KPA3 100 watt amp to install. The assembly manual that came with the kit indicates that it is not necessary if you are going to install the KPA3. However, the picture in the manual does show it already installed from Elecraft. The latest assembly manual, from the web site, indicates that you will still need the PA Jumper Block to do some initial testing before installing the KPA3. So, I am trying to get clarification as to whether I really need it. And, if I do, I need to get someone to ship me one. As an aside, it sure would be nice to know what changed from manual revision to revision. That way I could just update the manual that came with the kit originally. In my full-time job, when a procedure is changed, there is always a sheet describing what paragraphs/sentences/pages were changed. That makes it easy to see where the differences exist. 73, Henry - K4TMC K3#98 -Original Message- From: Simon Brown (HB9DRV) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sat, 1 Dec 2007 3:22 pm Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft K3 Support on the Weekends?

Just say so if that's it! ;-) [Elecraft] K3 Preliminary Specifications On our K3 page, you'll now find a link to a .pdf version of the K3's preliminary specs. We'll add an HTML version, too, probably next week. Any of these specs may change pending further testing or design changes. PLEASE don't call or e-mail with questions about the specs. We'll add or update specs as time permits. Discussion about the specs is fine, of course and we'll be diligently reading the reflector. But I'd like to ask in advance that any *arguments* about specs be taken off-line, so Eric (our reflector cop) doesn't have to put the hammer down :) Comment about RX specs: Receive dynamic range (IMDDR3) is shown for 5 to 20 kHz offsets at present, with the 400-Hz INRAD filter. We're trying to be conservative, because testing organizations may get slightly different results due to variations in equipment and procedures. Our own tests, conducted at three separate locations, consistently show 102 to 105 dB at 5 kHz. We also didn't list 2 kHz offset performance yet, because we're carefully characterizing all filters. Typically, we're seeing low to mid 90's on all filters. (Measuring the K3's dynamic range has been a challenge because it's higher than anything we've dealt with before. We've had to beef up our test gear to handle it.) Again, please, NO phone calls or e-mails about specs -- this will just slow down the engineering and support staff. We're dealing with many details right about now, as you can imagine.

RE: [Elecraft] Transverters
Paul, I would never recommend such a device if your a serious VHFr They leak and will pick up alot of external signals that are not on VHF! I think a famous DX record in the UK was claimed by two 28 MHz drivers and leaky connections in the 70s! I would only recommend good solid cables and connectors and no switch if your wanting your system to remain at the best performance. The A/B type switches are generally not good and will "leak" signal across the switch ports. You can use the offset command in the K2 menu to trim the transverter onto an accurate external signal - as long as your really sure that your are 100Hz off!!! dont rely on the local beacon ;-) regards Simon DL4PLM/GM4PLM From: "Paul" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Subject: [Elecraft] Transverters Date: Tue, 6 Jul 2004 09:31:22 -0400 Reflector Members, Those of you using Elecraft TransvertersAre all of you using an A/B type switch to go from HF to VHF on the K2' transverter hookup? I was a little surprised to see that to get the Drive RF to the transverters required the use of an external or separate switch that would require the individual to switch from the HF antenna to the transverters with an external switch. Is there any way to use those lower drive RCA connectors to eliminate the switch? Second question - my 144 transverter is about 100 cycles high. Is there a way to correct this?
