Hi
I agree that those devices were good.  I have an emu 0404.  They will indeed 
continue to use the old beta driver.

Subject: [Elecraft] Creative Lab EMU-0202

I just re-installed my EMU-0202 sound card. I wanted to see if I could
make it play with Windows 10 and everything else I have running, Win4K3,
CW Skimmer, and HRD. I've always liked the fact that there was less
"garbage" being displayed on the spectrum display. What I found it that
Windows 10 picked it right up and it seems to be playing nicely. It's
not clear what driver I'm using as I put a beta Windows 7 driver in when
this machine had Windows 7. If the Windows 10 install kept my beta
driver than I suspect it is that one that is being used. In any case, my
old card works which means a $70 card will work vice a $140 card. And
since my EMU-0202 is not in current production, a card may be had at
even a lessor price than $70.

[Elecraft] KXPD3 long screw...

[Tom Crayner]

I found a good pair of side-cutters with a quick filing and I can't tell
the difference between the two screws under a magnifying glass, just stay
clear of the threads so you don't damage them. (wear your safety glasses
 :-)  )

I took the screw out of the keyer to avoid damaging it while performing
this alteration.

YMMV, but you can always order the screw if you have an epic fail.

[Elecraft] New release of Win4K3Suite now offers full integration of the KX3 with the KAT500 and KPA500

[Tom]

Hello,
The latest release of Win4K3Suite now provides full integration of the KAT500 
and / or the KPA500 with the Elecraft KX3 / KXPA100.
The integration passes band and frequency information from the KX3 to the 
KAT500 and KPA500 allowing seamless recalls of previous tuning parameters.  You 
can toggle the display of the KXPA100 with the KPA500 as needed.  In addition, 
there is now a visible indication of faults in the KAT500 and KPA500 allowing 
you to reset them remotely if you wish.  You will effectively be able to use 
the combination as if you had the full K-Line.  This feature will require the 
latest beta KAT500 release (1.75 or later).
Win4K3Suite is a comprehensive control package for the Elecraft product line 
supporting all options including the P3 / SVGA as well as LPPAN.  It integrates 
with all third party products including HRD LogBook and DXCommander.
You can see it in action here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htVlc9x0IoU
and download a free 30 day evaluation at http://va2fsq.com/?page_id=379

Ditto we still don't use them.
Our users have a choice of laptop or iPad/Surface other than a desktop thin 
client on our VM Ware network.
90% choose the Win7 laptop. They're more expensive, slower, and break more 
often than the thin client but not as often as the iPads. The Surface's are new 
so no experience base with them yet. Our hardware group absolutely hate touch 
screens. I'm a Network Engineer...I have no use for them either.

My brother does IT for a school district that equipped all of their middle 
school kids with cutting edge iPads. 700 of them. My brother had to get good at 
replacing the very expensive coated touch screens that the evil empire said 
mere mortals couldn't replace. He got no help from Apple other than expensive 
parts. That experiment lasted three years and they switched to Chrome books.

I guarantee as sure as I'm sitting here *that touch screen will fail within a 
year...if not sooner*, and you've got no chance to fix it yourself. I can order 
parts from Elecraft for all my rigs and fix them.
No sweat.

I'm curious why is direct sampling SDR's like the 7300 are supposed to be the second 
coming why Icom stuck with the traditional superhet architecture on it's 
"flagship" 7851? Maybe they realize the technology is at least 5 years away

[Elecraft] KX3 / KXPA per band power?

[Tom]

Hi,
Is there an option somewhere to enable the KX3 to have different power levels 
per band?  This would be very useful if you are driving a big amp via the 
KXPA100.
Is this planned for a future firmware update?
Thanks, Tom

Re: [Elecraft] KXPA Power Output

[Tom Field]

Thanks for the replies.
I have gone through the procedure again.
I used the calibration procedure outlined on the Elecraft Website.


Some observations. With no load I have 14.63 volts coming into the KXPA
100.
With the radio and amplifier on and resting, the current is approx 0.3 Amps

Steps
Set the radio in the 160 meter band
Set P Cal
Closed the menu
Set Pwr to CAL 75
Confirmed the KXPA 100 Is in bypass
Pressed Tune( I assume this is the button that says transmit)
Current rose to .9 Amps
If I took the pressure off the button, the current stayed up until I
pressed it again
The display showed 2 numbers  On top 1.1  Below 5.0
Pressed the button again
Normal Display returned
Moved on to 80 meter band
Same behaviour and findings
Moved to 60 meter band
Same
40 meters, 30 meters, 20 meters same with approximately same current
17 meters, Current went up to 1.21 Amps
15 meters 1.24 Amps
12 meters 1.45 Amps
10 meters 1.45 Amps
6 meters
Display showed 3 instead of 5 and 1.68 amps

Opened the menue and turned the PA to on

Set the PA back to auto

set power at 75 Watts
Using the KXPA Utility
Input Power  Forward Power
160 m 0.848
80 m   1.050
60 m   1.252
40 m   1.251.4
30 m   1.156.8
20 m   1.659.2
17 m   1.682
15 m   1.251
12 m   1.049.5
10 m   1.250.3
6 m 2.060.6

The only band that came close was 17 meters. I wonder if there is something
about the calibration process. Accd to the notes from the Elecraft website
"Press TUNE. The KX3 will transmit for a short while then stop. During this
transmission, the KX3 and KXPA100 will determine what drive level is needed
to get to 75 watts"

I found if I pushed and held TUNE, it started transmitting and did not stop
transmitting until I let off and pushed it again.

Advice, suggestions welcome.

[Elecraft] KXPA Power Output

[Tom Field]

I'm having difficulty getting more than about 70 to 80 watts out of the
KXPA 100. I have it connected to a KX3 with the Elecraft cable and have
gone through the calibration procedure as outlined in the owners manual and
in Fred Cady's excellent book.

For Example if I go through the calibration procedure on 40 meters,
It appears to show a drive level of 5 watts to achieve 75 watt output.
If I transmit into a dummy load, with the power setting at 100 watts,
I have a drive power of about 2.6 watts and an output power of about 70
watts as shown in the KXPA Utility.

Am I missing something?

[Elecraft] Strange K3's issues

[Tom SQ5CSF]

Hello everybody, 
I have a strange issues in my K3. Maybe someone has had similar symptoms and 
may help me... 

chronology of my actions with K3 

- from the begining K3 was never opened, worked fine. 
- 2015-06 - KXV3 installation 
- 144 QSO made in this period time - no issues. 
- 2015-12-31 Last firmware upgrade (5.38/1.25/2.86) 
- 26 QSO made in this period time - in January - no issues 
- SPDX contest (2016-04-02)- in my contest location - first operational 
problems. 
During the contest I have made about 40 qso. 
Many radio restart have been made to be able to work at all... 
symptoms: when I have pressed mic's PTT, TX led switch ON but there were no 
power output. 
The same situation was when I have used footswitch or playback message option. 
After few pressing of the PTT output power appeared. 

Next point was the AUT - time of the tuning was tottaly differen between next 
tunes. 
Next point - AF gain controls for main receiver. 
Radio was not reading the knob position to change the volume. 
Band change removed this issue for some time. 


- Home station - 2016-04-10 
Previous problems disappear, now i have a problem with the K3 power off. 
It's look like not complete internal procedure. 
whole firmwares were reloaded - issues still exist. 
configuration was restored from 2015-08 - issues still exist. 
Older firmwares were downloaded - issues still exist. 
Actual firmwares were downloaded with last saved configuration - issues still 
exist. 
- next point - when I switch on my Diamond power supply - K3 power on 
automatically. 


Some shots made by mobile You can have a look on vimeo: 
https://vimeo.com/162290764 

I will be grateful for any comments / tips

[Elecraft] KX3: Power Consumption at 15W?

[Tom Crayner]

Anyone happen to know power consumption of the KX3 when running at the
relatively new 15W RF output setting?

I had read a while back that it was around ~2.1A at 10W.  Looking at tiny
power supply options and don't want to underrate.

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] Re: Strong recommendation: MFJ 18xx-series single-band whips for KX3, etc.

[Tom Crayner]

John,

Just like Bruce said regarding the 1899...

I started at one tap position for 20M and then changed the coil tap to
another for 40M. When I wrote my original note that was my 40M testing... I
failed to mention in my earlier email. In this case the whip length itself
isn't adjusted, just the tap, and I guess to be optimal the length of
counterpoise should be as well, but I cut corners and didn't do that.

I got lazy and after getting it close enough I switched on the ATU of the
KX3 and it tuned to 1.2:1. That ATU is a great feature for use with
antennas such as these where bandwidth is going to be narrow and tuning can
be a pain without a good ATU. Cannot imagine life without one when doing
portable stuff with compromised antennas... I'd spend all day tuning up...

Re: [Elecraft] Strong recommendation: MFJ 18xx-series single-band whips for KX3, etc.

[Tom Crayner]

Wayne,

Funny you should bring this up, I just received an MFJ-1899T today. Slapped
a counterpoise on it and at 6 watts running JT9 (in New Jersey) was able to
be heard (watching PSK Reporter) all the way in CA and Alberta.  Just
worked a station in MN.

I'm not even giving the whip a fair chance... I'm sitting in a basement
with it cranked up to the floor joist over my head, nestled between 4 foot
fluorescent tubes and metal duct work. It tuned 1.2:1... counterpoise is
connected to ground thumb screw next to antenna jack.

I did groove a small piece of 2x4 for the right angle BNC connector to be
cradled on so all that weight of the telescopic whip doesn't damage the
jack...

Can't wait to take this down to the shore in a few weeks and see what it
can really do without all the disadvantages I've placed on it tonight
:-)

Tom, W2YF

Can some one help me figure these out?

[Elecraft] New release of Win4K3Suite: The ultimate control for your K3, K3S and KX3

[Tom]

Hello,
The latest release of Win4K3Suite is now available.  In this release are new 
graphical S-Meters for the K3, K3S and KX3. In addition, this release now 
offers cross hairs for the spectrum scope.
Win4K3Suite is a comprehensive control program for the Elecraft 3 series 
products and supports all equipment such as the KPA500, KAT500, P3,  and 
KXPA100 as well as  LPPAN.
Win4K3Suite has a built in serial port router that works with ALL third party 
products both software and hardware.  As long as they work with the Elecraft 
radios, they will work with Win4K3Suite.  There is no need for LPBridge.  This 
solution is 100% stable and robust and can handle any contest you through at it.
Win4K3Suite also works with RemoteRig and allows streaming of LPPAN video from 
the remote site: (Please see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8—Vk2WWLok 
courtesy of Mats SM0FPR) 

Read the latest reviews 
here:http://www.amateurradio.com/win4k3suite-added-to-shack/

You can see some videos of Win4K3Suite in action here:

Re: [Elecraft] New release of Win4K3Suite...set your clocks!;

[Tom]

Hi
There were a couple of people that pointed out that for the elecraft 
terminal window, it would be more appropriate to have the function keys F1 
to F12 correspond to the messages 1 to 10 instead of macros.

So, I uploaded a new version 1.792

What we now have, is when you are in the terminal  (it has focus) F1 to F10 
correspond to the messages you define in the terminal. (Message 1-10).
In all other windows the F1 to F10 keys will send a macro as defined in the 
Tools Settings.


Also, I have added the ability to quickly edit a message.  Now when you 
right click a message button and select edit, a small window will show up 
with only that message.  You can change it quickly at this point.  Much 
faster.


Thanks for all your support.

[Elecraft] 75m

Many of the same colorful characters on 75m make regular appearances on 40m & 
20m as well. Fact is, IMO of course, I hear the "stuff" on every band & the 
local repeaters. The hobby just isn't what it use to be anymore mostly because 
the operators today aren't the operators of yesteryear. Anyone wanna buy an 
exquisite station with very low hours that's rarely in use these days I've 
lost all interest in the hobby. View it on my QRZ'd page & email me if 
interested.

There is not much difference between the paid version and the latest free

Both compliment each other and work together - W4K3 works with HRD, so I 
would go with
the latest free version of HRD and ALSO the W4K3. They do overlap on some 
functions,
where they can do the same thing. IMHO the W4K3 is excellent for the 
PanaFall display of
the band, and is also excellent for getting to menu functions quickly, and 
everything you
need is one mouse click on the display. HRD is good for it’s logging

They both talk to each other so it would be best to get both, but to save

[Elecraft] K3s pre-purchase question

[Tom Brohl]

Hello Elecraft subscribers,

I've been a ham for quite some time as a Technician class using
2-meter. I'm retired now with more time for my hobbies.

I'll be taking my General class exam soon and moving on to HF.

I've built many Heath kits in the day, so the Elecraft kits are striking my
interest.

I'm trying to configure a K3s kit and would sure like some help from you
experienced hams. 

The up-front price is a lot for me so I'm trying to understand the
necessities? With an upgrade path every 6 months or so.

First, would I be disappointed with starting out with the 10-watt version? I
imagine I'll be doing more listening in the beginning. But if 100-watts is
important up front I'll get it.

How about filter options? I'm guessing the standard filter will be ok to
start out with?

I may add the 2-meter option since my current radio needs replacing. If I do
is the K144XV Reference Lock Board necessary for 2-meter operation?

How about the KBPF3A General Coverage Receiver Filter?

My antenna is a Cobra UltraLite Junior:  80-10 Meters 73 feet, installed in
my attic. I also have an Astron VS35m Power Supply, Heil PR-781 mic,
MFJ-993B Auto Tuner.

Please recommend what options I should get with the K3s kit.

Thanks for your help!

 

-Tom

me so many ideas!

I wasn't expecting such a great response, hams are the best!

Re: [Elecraft] KIO3B Upgrade Kit for the K3

[Tom Crayner]

Don,

Wasn't the KIO3B code added at firmware level 5.x?

If so, not sure the K3 knows anything about the USB setting unless it is
polling those settings directly from the board itself.

Since the assembly of coax wound around a toroid doughnut style bobbin is 
typically not exposed to vibration, such as might exist in an airplane, boat or

to be of concern.  The more important point and my experience and as related by 
others, the use of coax which has foam dielectric in a tight radius bend has 
been proven or shown to be problematic.As to if the manufactures bending

After all, as a rule, hams are noted for pushing things to the limit and then some and

Thank you all for your careful attention.

I read it wrong, as several have pointed out overnight. I transposed that

referring people to the original material in these cases. Someone will get
it right.

That makes it two and a half hairs :>)  Doesn't appear to change the
argument. To me anyway the method is still a crude measurement instead of
watching a wide frequency scan while bending the cable along with other
performance specific measurements.

I still would not use the solid center conductor versions (RG142/303) on a
winding.

Hi Guy,

I am not sure how you arrived at the “2/1000 of an inch” figure from the

http://www.scte.org/documents/pdf/standards/ANSI_SCTE%2039%202007.pdf

The method of measuring is in section 4. They are looking for a limit of
1% surface deformity when bending.

In the case of RG400 with .195 inch OD, that would be 2/1000 of an inch
(yes, that's three zeros, two one thousandths of an inch) bending deformity
at the surface of the teflon jacket, or half the thickness of an average

Re: [Elecraft] Faint clicking sound in headphones

[Tom]

Hi Mike,
I know that the same thing can happen on older KX3's when they are connected 
to a serial port running rig control softwarte.  On the KX3, Elecraft can 
supply a small bypass cap to rectify the problem.  I'm, not sure if that's 
the issue here but try the same and make sure the serial port cable is not 
connected to the K3.


If it is the issue, call up Elecraft.  They will probably suggest the same 
thing as on the KX3.

Subject: [Elecraft] Faint clicking sound in headphones

Just today I notice a  faint clicking noise when using my headphones and 
only when the AF is turned up not when all the way down, here is my 
setup.Elecraft k3, Begali key into a Winkeyer USB and the menu key 
weight setting in the K3 is 1.10

Here is what I have tried to fix the issue with no success:
1. Tried different headphones.
2. Snap on chokes on headphone cord.
3. Removed Winkeyer and plugged key into rear of K3.
4. Tried a different key plugged it into Winkeyer and just to rear of K3.
5. Tried on Dummy load and clicking is gone.
6. Check all connections to make sure they are tight.
7. Tried my KX3 using same key and antenna and no clicks.
8. The clicking is happening on all bands.
I believe that is all I tried and I am at a loss as to what it could be, I'm 
hopping it's something simple that I have overlooked.

Thanks in advance for your help

Re: [Elecraft] K3S and WSJT-X

[Tom Crayner]

Ian,

Which rev level of WSJT-X are you trying to use?

I seem to recall 1.5.x had some issues with Hamlib and as a result some of
the PTT code was broke.

If you are running 1.6.0 I think the Hamlib stuff is fixed and you can use
K3/KX3 as a rig and then set PTT to CAT.

If you plan on running DX Commander at some point you can install it,
configure it to mange the radio under the config->port options of DX
Commander and then point WSJT-X to it by selecting DX Commander as the
"rig" in Settings->Radio.  Then DX COmmander does the heavy lifting and
avoids the broken Hamlib piece. This should work in 1.5.x and 1.6.

[Elecraft] Win 4K3Suite now supports K1EL's WinKey for latency free CW

[Tom]

Hello,
The latest release of Win4K3Suite version 1.782 now supports K1EL’s WinKey 
hardware and can be used in the Win4K3Suite’s terminal mode.
The terminal mode in Win4K3 supports the built in decoding of CW, FSK-D and 
PSK-D of the K3, K3S and KX3.  It also provides software based text to digital 
and cw transmission.  To do so, comport activity is shared between radio 
control and the terminal functions.  In some cases there can be latency 
perceived by some people under contest conditions.  WinKey offers a hardware 
solution that uses a second serial port and thus eliminates any latency for a 
smooth high performance solution.
Win4K3 interfaces with just about any 3rd party hardware and software with 
built in serial port routing to the radio.  It provides a high performance 
solution that is extremely stable and contest worthy.  All your logging and 
digital mode programs can still be used with seamless integration.  In 
addition, Win4K3 has now been tested with HamPod for those with accessibility 
problems.
You can see it in action here:

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=win4k3suite

There is a full featured 30 day trial as well.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and K3 Untility software - Terminal

[Tom]

Hi Gerald,
Be sure that you have ONE program decoding the text.  For example, if you 
use the Elecraft Utility and you have a P3 with the SVGA attached or 
software like Win4K3Suite and more than one of them are trying to display 
the decoded text it will not work.
So if you use the utility, make sure the SVGA display for decoding is off or 
Win4K3's terminal is closed.

That should take care of it.

Hello all
I was curious I was listening to a cw conversation tonight and it was flying
by. The operators were sending at 28 to 32 words a minute. Very hard for a
new CW op to copy, but my K3 screen was decoding like a champ. For kicks I
started the K3 utility software and went to the terminal screen. I set it to
CW and to my surprise it was not decoding. The K3 was still decoding fine.
Only every once in a while the software was showing a character such as the
number in the call sign.
Does anyone know why the K3 would decode and the software would not?
Thanks

[Elecraft] Jim K9YC & Amsterdam

[Tom Fitzgerald via Elecraft]

Ah Amsterdam...been there on three occasions spending at least 10 days each 
trip...hm...attending a conference there wasn't on our agenda though. Beautiful 
city (the old part of the city) & a wonderful playground for adults :), 
wonderful museums and oh those delicious coffee shops. The Dutch are the 
tallest Caucasians I've ever seen in my life! Now we just go to Colorado for 
that coffee shop experience.

[Elecraft] Rick & antennas...

[Tom Fitzgerald via Elecraft]

"The Buckmaster never wins compared to inverted vees though, but it DOES tune 
up on multiple bands.  It and the Elecraft tuner get along fine, so it serves 
its purpose (which is NOT high performance)."

Whaaa? The Buckmaster is recommended to be installed as an 
inverted V. That's sweet that the E Tuner gets along with it but I have the 
3,000w version and run full legal limit on all bands (where allowed) that it 
operates on without the need to use my tuner. Not high performance eh? Funny 
stuff. I suggest anyone considering this fine antenna consult the  eHam reviews 
of it by people who actually own the antenna & have experience with it. 
Comparing a beam antenna to a wire is sort of ridiculous IMO for what should be 
more than obvious reasons. Lotsa haters out there as usual.

[Elecraft] Craig KD0TXL...best antenna

[Tom Fitzgerald via Elecraft]

7-band, no tuner required, Buckmaster OCF dipole...except no substitutes. Built 
like a tank's tank. Mine has been up for years thru high winds (100mph+), ice 
storms as well as asteroid & comet impacts. Very low to flat SWR on all bands 
that it's designed to operate on. Great signal reports worldwide. Mine is 
installed as an inverted V. Get one. Thank me later. You're welcome in advance.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 question - few signals show on the waterfall

[Tom]

Hi,
That's very typical.  The P3 or LPPAN for that matter will not always show 
real weak signals.  The waterfall as opposed to the spectrum can be more 
useful here.  Also, averaging,set high will help dig out the signals.

Subject: [Elecraft] P3 question - few signals show on the waterfall

I have a new P3 here connected to a K3.  I can hear signals that do not
show at all on the waterfall, and barely on the upper part of the
screen.  And signals that show on the P3 display do not show on the
attached VGA display.

I've gone over the Elecraft documentation and Fred Cady's booklet on the
P3 and I do not see any sensitivity adjustment for the display.   There
is the level calibrate but if I move that to extremes, it throws off the
K3 and P3 showing the same signal strength.  I don't think that is the
right adjustment for what I want.

Thanks

[Elecraft] New release of Win4K3Suite

[Tom]

Hello,
Just a note that there is a new release of Win4K3Suite out there.  Release 
1.778 has a couple of bug fixes where some text colors were not correct in the 
Frequency Memory display for a small subset of users.  This has been fixed and 
while I was at it, Scanning as supported by the K3, K3S and KX3 added. This 
release also supports the old pre-XP Windows Classic theme since there seem to 
be many people still using it.
In addition, this release now has preliminary support for 4K monitors with the 
Panadapter.  This allows up to 3840 x 2180 resolution for the panadapter.  This 
works quite well, but the downsampling has not yet been optimized. The next 
release will offer this.  It is quite a sight to see a 4K panadapter spanning 
192 kHz on a 40 inch 4K display!
Just a note about support of third party products:  Win4K3Suite has a built in 
router allowing third party products to connect to the radio simultaneously 
with the radio control capabilities.  HRD, DXLabs, Logger32, WriteLog, N1MM+, 
FLDIGI, and any other package out there is supported seamlessly.
You can download a fully functional 30 day demo at va2fsq.com

Re: [Elecraft] K3S USB RS232 P3 Conundrum

[tom]

Looks interesting but there is nothing about my exact needs, like K3S support 
with the new USB interface, interface with the CAT input of the Acom 2000A and 
interface with Writelog and Wintest, the two programs we use.
 
The other question is that we have 6 K3’s on 3 different computers. How does 
that work? Not sure adding more software is the answer.

Just put my first K3S on line, replacing a K3. For the moment, I am using

I also have a Y at the computer with a cable going to the CAT input to the

the logging program is what talks to the Acom. I have not figured out the

the Acom as it has not been reliable.
So, If I wanted to use the USB interface to take advantage of the sound

with the Acom?
Gotta figure this out before I have three K3S talking to three Acom 2000A's

[Elecraft] No transmit on 12m in split??

[Tom]

Hi,
You’d think I’d know the radio by nowToday I wanted to answer a DX on 12m 
at 24960 up 5.  Put the radio in split and went to transmit.  No output.  Tuned 
off split to test, no problem.  Tried this on other bands, no problem.  It’s 
just on 12m! Anybody know what’s up?

[Elecraft] K3's for Sale

[tom]

The Comstock Memorial Station is contemplating replacing four of our six
K3's with K3S'. It is time for new radios with the upgraded synthesizer and
USB connections.
 
They are all K3-100's equipped with:
KRX3F Subreceiver
KVX3A RX Antenna Module
KFLA 500 in both receivers
KFL3A 1.8K in the main receiver
Serial Numbers are 3463, 3464, 4391, 4498. All have systematically been back
to Elecraft and have the important upgrades installed.
 
They are all in excellent working order with just a few cosmetic issues.
They are offered at $2,900 each with the original boxes, including FedEx
Home Delivery. A similarly equipped K3S is $4,150.
 
This would be a time-phased sale. Obviously, we will have to sell three K3's
to buy two K3S. Elecraft is quoting 3-5 day delivery for the K3S and we
would have to schedule the change outs around major contests. 
 
S/N 3464 is in the box, just having been repaired at Elecraft. It is
immediately available. No trades. No haggling. W7RN is a not for profit
foundation subject to a chain of approvals.

Hello,
The latest release of Win4K3Suite, version 1.774 contains performance 
optimizations for QSY’s originating in third party software such as HRDLogbook, 
N1MM+, DXLabs etc. 
Win4K3Suite is a comprehensive Windows based control program for the Elecraft 
K-Line and the KX3, supporting all hardware options available.  It is possible 
to control almost every control available including menu items and tech mode 
menu items.  In addition, Win4K3Suite supports export and import of settings 
and operating parameters of the radios.
The software includes support for the P3 and SVGA adapters with the use of a 
video capture board,  as well as the IQ out from the KX3 and LPPAN with an easy 
to use built in panadapter application.
Win4K3Suite integrates with almost any third party application such as HRD 
Logbook and DM780, DXLabs, LOG4OM, N1MM, CWSkimmer etc. The integration allows 
you to use all of the features of your favorite software with an enhanced 
control capability.
You can see the software in action here:

Re: [Elecraft] Help with a K3 Macro

[Tom]

Hi
Once you see the THR screen, issuing an UP or DN or UPB on DNB should do the 
trick except that it wasn't in the firmware the last I checked. However Wayne 
did add some firmware commands recently. I'm not sure if these were added. They 
were to my knowledge, 4 out of 5 missing commands in the whole k3 command set.

[Elecraft] USB for K2

[Tom McCulloch]

Hi gang,

I think this may have been previously covered, so I apologize if I'm 
redundant.


I know the cable from the K2 to the nine pin plug is not wired in a 
"standard" way,  but how do I go about interfacing my K2 to the USB port 
on my computer?


I see this on Amazon, but I'm hesitant to try it:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00425S1H8/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8=2BU7MNUYG3YU2=I1591SJBBKODFX

Thanks for your help with this,

Tom, WB2QDG

[Elecraft] Beware...

[Tom Fitzgerald via Elecraft]

Some of you may belong to several groups that correspond to the different 
radios you may own, I do. I own an Icom 756 Pro 3 and belong to that group as 
well. Recently I've noticed an individual posting a 7800 for sale on both the E 
Reflector as well as this group's site. What I find interesting is that he's 
also posting it on the Yahoo 756 Pro 3 group's site as well only with a 
completely different reason for selling it. 

"Reason for selling? I upgraded to an IC-7850."

Hm His reason for selling given to this group & the Yahoo group was because 
he "upgraded" to the K3 & now owns the entire K line. Smell fishy??? Does to 
me. 

Buyer beware, "A fool and his money are soon parted."...great advice given to 
me as a teen from my best friends dad.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft] KX3 - easiest way to panadapt?

[Tom]

Hi Ed,
Com0com provides a virtual comport pair that acts like a null modem cable. It 
can be used to connect two software packages together as long as one has the 
necessary logic such as Win4k3Suite.
Win4k3 has a built in router that listens on special ports for commands from 
other software and then sends them to the radio or returns data. It connect to 
the other software through com0com. It effectively provides lpbridge 
functionality.  Thus in Win4k3, you can hook up nap3 to work through win4k3 and 
it thinks its connected to a k3.
Hope this explains it. You can find a full explanation in the win4k3 manual.
73, Tom

[Elecraft] New release of Win4K3Suite

[Tom]

Hello,
There is a new release of Win4K3Suite, version 1.770. This release provides the 
ability to assign labels to the radio equalizer buttons as well as several 
internal optimizations.
For those of you who are currently using other radio control software such as 
HRD or DXLabs, Win4K3 interfaces to the logbooks and digital mode software of 
these third party packages using a built in CAT router.  It allows you to 
continue to use logging, spotting, digital modes with your favorite software 
while providing vastly improved radio control.
The radio control features of Win4K3 are comprehensive, right down to changing 
Tech Mode menu items.  It is also possible to export the radio settings to an 
XML file which can be loaded into Microsoft Excel.
The feature list is far to large to list here, but Win4K3Suite allows control 
of the P3 with SVGA (and a hardware video capture board), LPPAN, the KPA500, 
KAT500 and numberous third party hardware and software packages such as HRD, 
DXLabs, N1MM, CWSkimmer (with VFOA to VFOB mapping).

Win4K3Suite is also now confirmed to operate with RemoteRig.  In addition, the 
Epiphan USB VGA capture board has been confirmed to work with the P3 – SVGA on 
a MacBook running VMWare.

You can see the software in operation here 
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Win4K3Suite although this is an 
older version of the software (new video in progress).
You can also download a free 30 day trial at VA2FSQ.COM.  If you have already 
tried this in the past and would like an additional trial please contact me off 
list.
73 Tom

Re: [Elecraft] K3S - Method to print K3/K3S configuration files from K3 Utility

[Tom]

For those of you using Win4k3Suite, you can export most menu and tech mode 
settings as well as operating parameters to a file. This file is an XML file, 
and can be opened in notepad and printed.
Not the most fancy presentation but it does provide a hard copy.

Re: [Elecraft] Windows 10 and LP-Bridge

[Tom]

Hi Barry,
No, com0com is a software null modem cable used to connect two pieces of 
software via a virtual port pair. It has no logic for operating a k3. The 
reason it works for you is that you are using Win4k3Suite, which has a built in 
router that performs k3 command routing. win4k3 has functionality that replaces 
lpbridge, and it uses com0com only as a connector.

Re: [Elecraft] Windows 10 and LP-Bridge

[Tom]

Hi
I think a more accurate description of what is missing in lpbridge is the 
inability to use the DS and IC commands on the k3,kx3 and k3s.
These commands require an 8 bit character set, hence Unicode.
The lack of support for the ic and ds commands prevents decoding of k3 status 
for many functions. In addition, almost all menu items can't be decoded.

[Elecraft] (no subject)

[Tom Fitzgerald]

Fascinating what kind of off topic crap is tolerated on this reflector while 
other posts are simply censored & censored as in never posted. It reminds me a 
bit of when one of the right wing whack-a-doodle AM talk hosts mistakenly 
allows a listener with a brain through the screen and puts them on the 
air...he/she/it will quickly begin talking over the caller and eventually hang 
up on them so as to not risk some sanity getting onto the airwaves that makes 
the host look as stupid as they always sound and frequently look. Interesting.

[Elecraft] Another Elecraft price increase...

[Tom Fitzgerald via Elecraft]

"We have hit the point where we will be increasing prices slightly on a number 
of our products by about the middle of October."

Hm...again eh? Seems like everything is going up except wages for the American 
worker. Seems they stopped going up about inauguration 1980 & that gap just 
started getting bigger & bigger. I hope I live long enough to see Americans 
"just say no" about this absurd situation. I guess I haven't got there yet 
since we just bought a new 2016 Honda for the wife a few weeks ago but I'm 
getting there. I think I got there with ham radio awhile ago. Someone remarked 
about college tuition, new cars & the grocery store and instructed us to quit 
whining. Hilarious advice really. Yes America, just take it and keep on taking 
it. We plan to make more cuts & lower your wages even more, certainly not raise 
them and the CEO's...They only make 300 times or more what the worker bee 
does...they need a raise and a tax cut! So buck up! Quit whining! Buy it or 
don't! We don't care! 

I say don't.

[Elecraft] Warm greetings extended overseas through Elecraft mailing list

[Tom Morehouse]

Just wanted to pass a note that I returned, with my KX3 intact, from a 
wonderful trip to Italy for two weeks thanks to advise and counsel through this 
list serve.  Operating from a hillside villa overlooking the town of Todi was 
quite an experience.

More remarkable, I received an invitation from Franco, I1FQH, to visit him 
while we were in Piemonte (as a result of the communications on this site).  
Franco was more than gracious and allowed me to operate from his gorgeous 
hillside station with a wonderful vineyard, orchards, an amazing cat and a 
superb antenna farm.  Then we had a delightful lunch with excellent food -- 
another real treat.  What a delightful experience and wonderful host -- both my 
wife and I had an experience that we'll long remember.  Mille Grazie, Franco.

Thanks to all 

73,
 Tom K4AEN

[Elecraft] K3 vs K3s..."to be or not to be an "s"

[Tom Fitzgerald via Elecraft]

N1LQ-Dave...this is starting to remind me of the Apple iPhone drama...about 
every 6 months a new iPhone comes out that's "better" than the previous one. 
Sorta makes you wonder why they just didn't make the damn thing that way in the 
first place, I think we all know why. I've owned all the iPhones from the very 
first one up to the recently new 6 Plus w/128gig hard drive & now the 6s Plus 
is out!  Honestly!!!??? I've had gripes about all of them, use to be size (to 
small), then camera resolution, then software bugs & the OS, etcetera etcetera 
etcetera. Getting off topic...back to the radio...I have 3 radios inline 
including a mid serial number 3,000 something K3. I paid tooo damn much for 
all of them and am quite sure I can survive without the latest & greatest 
version of the K3...the "s" line...ya just know that some day real soon there 
will be the next latest & greatest K4 or some nonsense out making the new K3s 
old news. I can think of about a hundred other things I'd rather do with the 
 than burn it on another ham radio but then again, ham radio isn't my life 
or my passion, it's just a hobby. In the end it's a personal decision you have 
to make based on many factors. Do you really need this new version or just want 
it? It sounds like you have a great radio now...take a trip to the South 
Pacific with the wife instead is my advice (at least one of you could go for 
the same money maybe :), avoid getting that feeling of wondering why you blew 
perfectly good money on something you really didn't need in the first place. I 
find that it's the "wanting" that's the real drug, after you get the new 
"thing", it's newness wears off pretty quick & then it's just the same old same 
old again. Skip this version and wait for the next one is probably good advice 
too, maybe the best advice, you know that it's already being thought about & it 
is after all...inevitable. I'm staying pat until many of the physical features 
of the radio are addressed...& they will be...eventually, the performance 
upgrades will be in that future radio too. Don't get on the merry-go-round as I 
did with all the different models of the iPhone, it's simply a waste of 
perfectly good money better spent elsewhere or even invested and or saved. Just 
my two cents!

[Elecraft] K3 to Pro III, my thoughts to Jeff, wb0m

[Tom Fitzgerald via Elecraft]

I have both radios..bought both new...I'd advise you to keep your Pro III & add 
a K3 or K3s but if that's not an option then I would say keep your Pro III & 
wait a bit longer for the inevitable "next incarnation" of the K3...possibly a 
K4. I think you will find that you will miss your Pro III greatly if you let it 
go and you might not be convinced that you made a good decision after you get 
your new K3 in your hands. When/if you do get it in your hands, your first 
thought will be why is this K3 so much lighter than my Pro III???Yeah, it's a 
bit smaller (mine sets on top of my Pro III) but your Icom weighs in at over 20 
pounds and your K3 might only weigh 7 or 8 pounds...both use an external PS so 
that's not the reason??? To many peeps that's awesome while to others it 
suggests something (or a lot) might be missing. I'll tell you right now that 
the Pro III is FAR easier to use than the K3 and you will need to purchase Fred 
Cady's (KE7X) manual to really learn the K3...IMO. You will also likely sense a 
certain "cheapness" to the K3 as compared to your old Icom. Depending on what 
you do with your radio, you may not notice any performance advantage at 
all...again...depends on what you do with it. I like both radios & don't want 
to start an argument about this radio vs that radio yet again...there have been 
zillions of such debates already, you can spend hours reading them online. If 
your Pro III is as flawless as mine (& one of the last ones produced) and not 
used that often (I have 3 radios which reduces wear & tear on any single 
radio), I would think very long & hard before parting with it. Hopefully you've 
sat down in front of a K3 and operated it so that your not surprised when you 
open the box, if you haven't done that...you need to do so. I know some that 
bought the radio and sold it soon after buying it because it wasn't what they 
expected. For those that tell you that "you won't regret it", maybe they really 
do regret parting with their Pro III but just want some company in the dunces 
corner!  I say that you may very definitely regret it! Mine is staying right 
where it is.

Thanks to all for their information and suggestions.  I'm currently in Italy

Probably the best result of my query has been the chance to meet with some 
local hams and enjoy a meal with them--this is such a great brotherhoodboth 
the ham radio brotherhood and the Elecraft brotherhood.   Thanks, Franco, for 
the very kind invite and look forward to seeing you Thursday.

[Elecraft] New release of Win4K3Suite

[Tom]

Hi everyone,
The latest release of Win4K3Suite is now available.  There are a few 
enhancements and changes in this release such as :
- Support for the K3S preamp and attenuator.  For this functionality, you will 
need to use the latest beta firmware for the K3X available at Elecraft.com.
- Support for the latest beta P3 firmware, providing noise blanker support 
(when available).
- Support for the latest k3 frequency memory editor.

Win4K3Suite is the most comprehensive K3 / K3S  / KX3 comtrol and integration 
platform available.  It controls pretty well 100% of all functionality of the

[Elecraft] New release of Win4K3Suite

[Tom]

Hi everyone,
The latest release of Win4K3Suite is now available.  There are a few 
enhancements and changes in this release such as :
- Support for the K3S preamp and attenuator.  For this functionality, you will 
need to use the latest beta firmware for the K3X available at Elecraft.com.
- Support for the latest beta P3 firmware, providing noise blanker support 
(when available).
- Support for the latest k3 frequency memory editor.

Win4K3Suite is the most comprehensive K3 / K3S  / KX3 comtrol and integration 
platform available.  It controls pretty well 100% of all functionality of the 
radio and provides access and import / export of menu items including tech 
mode.  It supports the P3, KPA500, KAT500 and LPPAN.  The software panadapter 
provides accurate QSY in all modes and is simpler to use than other panadapters.

Win4K3Suite also has a built in software serial port router that allows 
integration of third party hardware and software such as N1MM+, FLDIGI, MMTTY, 
DXLabs, RemoteRig, and HRD Logbook and DM780.  There are no known packages that

[Elecraft] KAT100 Dead

[Tom Field]

Having gotten the side tone situation sorted out, I now find I have no
power going to the KAT 100.
I've checked the plug and voltage on D4, R12, and R11.  There appears to be
nothing getting through Q1, I have no voltage on the collector and no
voltage on U8.  Bad Q1?

Re: [Elecraft] I wonder how many folks have had buyers remorse on a K3/K3S purchase?

[Tom Azlin W7SUA]

Hi Jer,

Zero remorse during the couple months it took to have them shipped. Zero 
remorse in the years since then. And I have added a P3, KPA500 and 
KAT500. In process of adding upgrade parts that are included in the K3S.


Yes, I bought two. One fully loaded and the other minimally loaded. Zero 
flashy and outstanding performance. Great when the flashy high end 
radios cost much more and had much poorer performance. Since then have 
picked up a KX3, PX3, and KXPA100 with tuner.

[Elecraft] K2 Sidetone gone

[Tom Field]

My K2, recently aligned and tuned up with the help of Don Wilhelm, lost the CW 
side tone. It clicks when you close the key, and there is no SPOT tone or if 
you try to change the tone volume in the menu there is no sound. 
As a guess, I may have had a short in the key plug, where to start looking?  I 
couldn’t see the audio oscillator in the schematic.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 - still in trouble with new firmware

[Tom]

Hi,
Funny thing, the SVGA noise blanker and a number of other items were added in a 
January release of the beta software.  I recall it was working, but there has 
been no production release since then except for this new beta version.
I hope that with the new K3S there is a little more commitment to the P3.

Will add my name to list about no NB on SVGA.  I didn't know that was supposed 
to be working. Additionally bringing up the NB Level menu entry blue screens 
the SVGA display and shows Tx/Rx Data Font: 0 in the upper left hand corner.

My ancient data processing bug instincts scream mismatched data position 
definitions, but that that's just from an old systems design crank :)

Did the firmware files get back leveled or something?  This really looks like 
something that would have been fixed in house before public release.

Re: [Elecraft] K3: 630m amplifiers

[Tom Azlin W7SUA]

Interesting discussion, but I'm now confused.

In all the old handbooks the discussion of amplifier design says ( page 
76, 1941) In amateur transmitters, and r.f. amplifier is invariably 
operated Class C ( see Chaptr 3). I though the final tuned circuit was 
simply pulsed at the RF freq and then the output filtering knocked off 
harmonics leaving a clean CW note. And in the article on construction of 
a 100-175 watt CW transmitter ( page 155-157) the 6L6 crystal oscillator 
was cathode keyed with a bit of RC shaping. Rest of stages powered up 
when in transmit.


And I thought these days some AM broadcast transmitters operated Class 
E. Clearly not linear.

No, CW requires a linear amplifier.  CW is not constant-amplitude - the
amplitude changes every time you open or close the key.  A class-C
amplifier would mess up the key shaping, causing key clicks.

Any true FSK or MSK signal should not be bothered by a non-linear
amplifier.  The only caveat I can think of is that the amplitude of an
AFSK signal may have some ripple on it to the extent that the passband
of the transmit crystal filter is not flat.  But I doubt that's a
significant issue.

The one exception might be FSK.  It is constant-amplitude so a class C

FSK modes include RTTY and I believe WSPR and WSJT.

Re: [Elecraft] K3: 630m amplifiers

[Tom Azlin W7SUA]

Hi Jim,

I do have much more modern handbooks. Current in fact.  :) Just 
remembered more Class C referenced in the older ones.


Will have to go read articles back then on key clicks and distortion. 
And continue to look at what amplifiers I could use on the two soon to 
be lowest bands.

Yes and no. Yes, the tank of a class C amp is pulsed and the output
network kills the harmonics. But it does NOT kill the intermodulation
distortion that is produced by the non-linearity, and that intermod is
heard as clicks.

BTW -- you need a MUCH newer Handbook. :)

To catch up on the comments I address all that I have so far:

Re: linear vs class-C is really a moot point as its easy enough to build
a linear at 500-KHz.  CW, JT65, FSK all do fine with class-C, of
course.  And its true that any modulation of a continuous carrier will
impart some bandwidth.  Its not likely that wide-band digital modes will
be approved in a band that is only 7-KHz wide so probably those approved
would work with a class-C amp.  I think its just simpler to provide
class-AB then its a non-issue.

Re: 15-dB HF linear amp gain limit.  If that is applied to 630m amps
then either I sell a kit or partial kit.
1mw in to 1w out is 30-dB and 100w out is 50-dB.  I would have to
research the regs to see if the limit is for a certain level of input
(like 5w).  Also the regs allow hams to sell amps to other hams without
this restriction (but at what quantity per year?).

First off I am not proposing to go into competition with MFJ.  This is
just a home business building one at a time.  If the FCC is going to
make this a small (tiny) business killer than its just not worth the
bother. If I say more than this it will get political and that is OT.

WSPR, JT65 and JT9 are (1 of N tone) FSK modes.  They are no
different than conventional AFSK (1 of 2) in that the tones
are continuous phase, constant amplitude and can be amplified

I haven't seen the details of WSQ yet - if it is a multiple
simultaneous tone mode it would require a linear amplifier -
but the other listed sound card modes are fine with an
amplifier that operates in class C (or even a switch mode
amplifier so long as the bandpass filter is sufficient).

I pick those two power outputs because with typically inefficient
antennas on 630m 25w = 1w ERP and 100w = 5w ERP (approx).  These two
ERP are mentioned in the WARC-12 band approval and FCC as possible max
allowed power levels.  Currently the ARRL Experimental Group is approved
at 20w ERP but there are not many stations running that in the group.  I
run 100w with 0.1mw drive from my K3 for approx 3w ERP.  1mw is typical
output for mixers so the amp would be usable by low-power transverters,
as well.

I am wondering what kind of interest there would be for a linear amp
that could be driven by the K3s/K3?  I would probably have an optional
Rx preamp in such a package.  No idea of cost at this juncture as its
just in maybe status.  Wayne has stated to me that Elecraft is not
intending to build such due to the limited market.

[Elecraft] [Elecraft K3]New release of Win4K3Suite - v 1.762

[Tom]

Hello,
There is a new release of Win4K3Suite version 1.762.  In this release, band 
mapping has been added to the ClubLog spotting utility allowing user 
customizable mode switches when clicking on a spot.  In addition another new 
feature is the [LOGIT] directive that can be used in the K3 / KX3 / K3S 
terminal mode which allows direct automatic logging to HRD, DXKeeper or ADIF 
files.
This new release also has a few bug fixes related to the frequency memories.
Win4K3Suite is a comprehensive control application for the Elecraft K3 / KX3 
and K3S radios.  It supports all of the options as well as the KXPA100, KAT500, 
KPA500 and with the use of a video capture board, the P3 as well. In addition, 
the software comes with full support for LPPAN.  Win4K3Suite has a unique 
internal router as well which provides connectivity to almost every 3rd party 
software in existence.  This includes HRD, DXLabs, N1MM +, Log4OM as well as 
various hardware devices such as serial controlled antenna tuners and devices 
such as the STEPIR.  It is also possible to use computers such as the Arduino 
interfaced to various hardware and then connected directly to Win4K3 via a 
serial connection.
You can see some of the capabilities of the software at
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Win4K3

Re: [Elecraft] Proposed On-topic indication.

[Tom Schaefer]

I agree but it actually does seem too much to ask from the evidence. Maybe 
folks don't know that you should always add OT to the subject line of an 
off-topic post. Then after you write it, hit DELETE as its off-topic and has no 
business on the reflector. 

If folks have to share that latest nugget, go to QRZ or eHam or any other place 
folks throw every passing though out for comment.

I will go back to my hole now and get my delete key ready :)

 The only viable solution for this is to make this a moderated list.
 
 That means that someone (probably Eric) would read and review every single 
 post before it goes out to the rest of us.
 
 We don't want that, do we?
 
 It's far easier if everyone just follow the rules in the list charter.  
 Doesn't seem like too much to ask.

[Elecraft] Proposed On-topic indication.

[Tom Schaefer]

In light of the flagrant inclusion of off-topic material on this list 
(including this), I propose that everyone start adding an On-topic indication 
to their subject line for things that are actually about Elecraft. That way 
those of us that want to read only things related to the list for which we 
subscribed, can avoid every random thought someone things might be interesting 
to the guys on the Elecraft list.

It's as if guys know someone will have to read what they share and never ask 
themselves if it's germane to the list. Germane in this case is ABOUT ELECRAFT 
and not just of general interest to hams. 

This is Internet 101 stuff.
