[Elecraft] KAT fw 1.58 auto or manual use ? KAT3 in bypass or in auto ?

2014-02-24 Thread ik1bxn
Hello
today I updated all my K Line to production fw but I'm getting crazy with my
KAT500. 
I was used to keep it in AUTO and as soon as I QSY in case of need KAT
performed a new tune (my vertical antenna under rain shows SWR to 2-,2,4)
and I forgot tuning.
Now after 1.58 fw installation if I leave KAT in AUTO any time I do a qsy
KAT retunes, if I put it into MAN (as written in Wayne document) it properly
recalls last tune without retuning.

So, for future shall I have to use my KAT500 in MAN (and in case of huge
rain I have to retune) or there's a problem with my KAT500 ? With previous
fw I had no problem and I wonder if I'd better to rollback.

Another question I need a clarification possibly :
on my k3 KAT3 is set to KAT500Y but I have KAT3 in bypass since I bought
KAT500.
Question : should I keep KAT3 in Bypass or it's better to put it in Auto ?

Many thanks in advance for help

[Elecraft] Shorter DB15/DB15 cable from KAT to KPA

2014-02-04 Thread ik1bxn
Hello

I have my KPA500 placed over the KAT500 (probably like many other users) and
I'm using the Elecraft DB15/DB15 original cable (the first model about 1 cm
diameter, I heard the new cable model has less diameter and is more flexible
but the length is the same). 
It happens I have a mess behind KPA caused by the unused cable length.

I ask if it is available or from Elecraft (better) or from any other dealer
a shorter cable (I think 1 ft length) I could use to safely connect KAT with
KPA.

Many thanks, best 73

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500

2013-09-25 Thread ik1bxn
Hi ! I've a similar issue but in my case it comes from the cabling I feel.
My KAT is directly connected to antenna incoming bur k3 has extra 2,5 meters
of RG 58 (1 meter patch from KAT to switch plus 1,5 meters patch from the
switch to k3). 
In my situation and only in some bands I have differents SWR reading at KAT
and k3.

[Elecraft] k3-kat500-pr6-DigiKeyer via 2 "Y" cable in "cascade" should be OK ?

2013-05-13 Thread ik1bxn
Hello you all !

Currently I have my k3 connected via an "Y" DB15 cable to KAT500 and cable
and PR6. 
Now I'm purchasing a MicroHam DigiKeyer that needs to be connected to k3
DB15 connector too and uses pins 1-4-5 for FSK and PTT. 
At the moment I have no place to plug DigiKeyer DB15 connector to.
I wonder if it will be correct to purchase an additional "Y" DB15 and
connect it in "cascade" to the "Y" I already have. 
The scenario it should be :
1st "Y" plugged to k3 and having one end to KAT500 and the 2nd end to feed
the 2nd "Y".
2nd "Y" will feed PR6 at the 1st end and MicroHam DigiKeyer at the 2nd end.
Should it be correct ? Should it create any problem or damage ?

Hoping to have been clear enough, thanks a lot for support

Re: [Elecraft] P3/SVGA used as "modem" for DxLab WWW or other apps

2013-02-18 Thread ik1bxn
Thanks Joe and Don for answer. 
No Don, I think to a terminal data exchange between p3 and an external
application that can manage/integrate current date. The encode/decode job is
inside k3 and inputs/result are available on the serial port. Something like
a modem.
Into other words the pc running the app will find on serial comm decoded
text coming from the qso, the same going to transmission app will send data
to k3 that will encode and will transmit.
It's what we did years ago by using external device such KAM. The app was
basically a terminal sw capable to help you by managing memories (we better
call them now macros) and so on. 
If I understood correctly with P3/Svga the only way I have to interact
(during a qso so) is to see what's incoming and answer via the keyboard.
This way there is no additional function such as : inserting qso into the
log (retrieving callsign,freq,mode,time and so on), query QRZ for data and
more.

As Joe clarified it would have been not easy to get.

Thanks you for kind attention and explanationbut it's not a new here :-)
!!!

[Elecraft] P3/SVGA used as "modem" for DxLab WWW or other apps

2013-02-18 Thread ik1bxn
Hi ! I'm having crazy (probably that) idea : should it be possible to use
P3/Svga in DxLab WWW as if it was an external device such as KAM or PK232 or
whatever similar ? 
I'd like to leave k3 decoding and encoding PSK31 or RTTY FSK and having and
external software/suite it would mean IMHO to be able to manage the log,
controlling the rig via CAT (maybe) and more.
I'm sure I'm forgetting some basic aspects that make this scenario
impossible, sorry in advance :-)

[Elecraft] KAT 500 my considerations and why not suggestion for the team

2012-12-04 Thread ik1bxn
I like very much KAT, it's fast shape and reliable for what I saw right
nowbut as I came from a Drake MN 2700 I strongly feel the fault of
something telling me at a glance if and how much RF power I'm really putting
RF into the antenna. Previously I had a wattmeter now I've to trust the
online rig instrument (online one because I use KAT with k3 or Orion or
Drake via an antenna switch).
I'm thinking to buy an additional wattmeter (such as LP 100A for example)
but meantime I wonder :
as the KAT knows itself direct and reflected power and as the utility can
printout their values, should it be possible to have these values displayed
somewhere else without having an application running and a USB port occupied
? For example :
 
- printed out in a dedicated device with a few line display (think to
Arduino) that could be a sort of remote for KAT (including command buttons
why not). This should be interesting for me as I located my KAT in a not so
confortable position in my shack.

- or better, printed out on P3 screen during TX time (time in which P3
screen does nothing and stays freezed on the last image it had)

Thanks a lot for reading !

[Elecraft] KAT 500 how to modify Autotune threshold ? Apparently I can't

Hi guys

I'm KAT 500 fresh owner and I was trying to touch Autotune threshold
changing it from 1:1,80 to 1:1,60 for example. It happens that any value I
digit as soon as I press Apply and Save checking again it comes back to
default 1,80. Trying a per band set instead of All Band nothing changes.

Am I doing some mistakes or is this value fixed ?

[Elecraft] Antenna matrix switch a device I'd like to own...by Elecraft of course

2012-11-20 Thread ik1bxn
Hello you all!
 
As I have a couple of HF antennas and 5 rigs in the shack I feel the need to
switch antennas among radios. At the moment I switch only the main antenna
by using an LDG DTS-6 antenna switch "reverse connected", but I would prefer
to have an Elecraft device to manage this functionality. 
My dream it should be to have an antenna switch in a box (with same KAT500
dimensions and outline) capable to manage 2-3 antennas into 5-6 rigs. Of
course a device like this would warranty appropriate power dimensioning,
remote control, logic interlocks (maybe for Elecraft rigs also avoiding tx
if no antenna is connected to the rig) and why not shorting to ground all
ports at power off.

Are there any plan for such an object in Elecraft ?

Many thanks for reading, best 73

for Usb soundcard I payed 5 $. This way I have a Vox actuated PTT and I
leave the notebook (a MacBook in my case) internal soundcard to its job. In
addition by pressing buttons on the card I can regulate volume without

No problem for driver as system uses it immediately without any answer even

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and HRD turning AGC off

2011-11-03 Thread ik1bxn
Hi you all ! 
I these days due to the AGC boring problem we are suffering, due to the HRD
recent history that says it's not clear when we'll have a new HRD "bugs
free" release and as I own a Mac I'm testing Cocoamodem/MacLoggerDx and I
may say the AGC problem disappeared. 
So I would thank you a lot Wayne and whole Elecraft for efforts to fix this
problem but it does not come from k3 itself but it belongs to the HRD
software (I think) as Joe Subich (if I'm not wrong) explained us in a
previous post.
Anyway, as I'll keep on working with HRD until I'll be not 100% skilled with
Mac app, Wayne I'd like to have this new firmware release for my
k3.possibly.
Thanks a lot for all, best 73

[Elecraft] K3 and Fldigi on a Mac

2011-10-24 Thread ik1bxn
Hi guys.
Even if I like very much HRD I decided to stop with it due to stressing
faults (I really hate) in serial communication that suddenly and frequently
cause AGC going off. 
I'm a Mac user and right now I virtualized at it an XP Pro just and only to
run HRD.
 
I'm planning to move to a 100% OSx native application for digi modes. I'm
thinking to Fldigi or MacLoggerDx/cocoa ... or anything else, any suggestion
it will be appreciated.

I use Signalink Usb and I already saw it works from Mac side (Fldigi decodes
traces perfectly)
I'm not OSx skilled so I'd need some help/suggestions from Mac users
relevant to Usb/rs232 adapter under OSx (I use Keyspan USA19H-1) because
right now I have installed driver only into the virtualized XP machine. Now
I have to install (I think) something (I'm not sure "driver" it should be
the appropriate word) under Mac, to let Fldigi (or whatever else app for
digi) CAT running. 
My questions are:
1) are there any special attention to pay during Usb/232 "driver"
installation in OSx ? 
2) having the adapter configured under OSx and XP virtualized, will the
adapter work in both machines Mac and XP (I'd like for a time to have the
possibility to use HRD or Fldigi, not simultaneously of course, just to
train myself) ?

Many thanks in advance to everybody for help, best 73

normally I keep 2700 Hz bandwith in order to have the waterfall at a glance.
Then if ther's a track that I want insulate from the rest of the world (for
example because it's a weak trace or there's a very close strong track) I
move the filter center to the frequency of the track I want to follow
(inside the 50 Hz granularity of course) and then I reduce the filter
bandwidth to 100-150 Hz (the k3 automatically switches to my 400 Hz 8 pole
filter).Sometimes at that point I switch on the Pre. I use normally 40w
power in DATA-A mode.73 to everybody-Giorgio

[Elecraft] P3 external knob for QSY and tap

2011-05-28 Thread ik1bxn
Hi ! In consequence of my shack layout my k3 and p3 are located above the LCD
monitor in a good position for me to look at them but not so confortable to
press button or rotate knobs. It's not a big problem because I always keep
Ham Radio Deluxe opened for log and CAT so quite never I need to touch k3
panel. 
It's not the same for p3 and here is my (funny probably) question : it
should be thinkable to provide connection to an external serial or usb knob
(something like Tmate http://www.woodboxradio.com/uk/tmate.html for example)
to replicate p3 knob functionality ? For me it would mean having it on the
desk close to computer keyboard and it will make qsy and tapping easier ?
Thanks you all for reading ! 73 de Giorgio

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Suggestions/Considerations speaking of digimodes functionality

2011-02-02 Thread ik1bxn

Sorry I forgot explaining what I think suggesting Ethernet interface :-)

1) As any recent network device (switch,router,access point and so on) I
think it would be useful and maybe original having inside the rig a web
engine. Having this feature you could by simply opening a web page via
browser  interact with rig for touching menu setting, update firmware (why
not), check log of critical data, events  it's only a matter of
developer fantasy I thinkremember that inside k3 there is a big computer
resource ready for usedespite to the "old fashion" rig :-) .

2) it should be possible to think to a sort of "remote desktop" for CAT and
else (limit it's only fantasy) or rig remote use (it's not my case but I see
somebody uses this way).

For what I saw and feel using k3  it's a sort of "open source radio",
because team from Elecraft is so flexible and available that I have the
feeling I can touch it by myself(parallel with Linux). Other rigs are a
black box "as is" and until the rig is "young" efforts are oriented to fix
bugs...later ... sorry it's an old rig , no longer under maintenance or
better attention.(parallel with other operating systems).

One more time 73 to all ! Giorgio

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Suggestions/Considerations speaking of digimodes functionality

2011-02-02 Thread ik1bxn

Hi Joe, maybe translating from italian into english I did not explained in
clear way what I mean, I'll try to clarify.
Usb : I'm not suggesting to integrate a conventional 232/Usb converter
inside k3 (even if it would be possible to do by cabling all the firmware
necessary to have everything onboard without OS driver need)  but
re-engineer the internal I/O in order to make available a standard Usb port.
For what I know, Usb is totally non related to any COM port. If you plug
into your pc an external Usb device (webcam,hard disk,audio card etc) can
you see any relation to a COM port ? I think you can't see. The pc  will see
some Usb device and will use it according to its Usb interfacing subsystem.
Of course it's a cost I know, but even if rs232 will live for many years to
come (because it's an industrial reliable standard), at home we have always
Usb and seldom rs232 port. In addition (my opinion of course) having Usb
interface  should be useful to give to k3 the look of a modern rig (even if
we know it's a modern rig).not an old fashion rig as extremely often I
read surfing the internetcomments coming from people that evaluate a rig
looking if it has a TV set inside, lot of displays many leds and so on. I
think it should pay. Better would be having also an Ethernet interface !

Signalink : I spoke of that because I have it, but it's a much more general
matter, anyway Signalink it's not only an additional Vox, it's a complete
(and optimized for our HAM purposes) sound card that interfaces with pc via
Usb. In addition it takes care of PTT by using a Vox circuit. At Signalink
there are regulation for IN and OUT level and PTT delay. Using this
interface the pc internal audio card is completely out of game, so you can
play a DVD, listen system sound and so on when you are in PSK. Last, as 
Signalink provide a total galvanic separation and in addition it converts AF
levels into digital data and releases them to pc via Usb...this let you much
more free from any possible RF interference.

Thans for reading, 73 de Giorgio

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Observations Digital Modes and SSB

2011-02-02 Thread ik1bxn

I share what Julian wrote 100% . My question was only oriented to take care
of my rig . k3 makes the difference, not only in rx ! I have a vertical
multiband antenna that works fine but it's a vertical, however k3 let me to
receive and decode even weak signals. In tx k3 has a clean and perfect
modulation and keeping ALC settings as suggested I receive always perfect
comments to my waterfall track. In the past, using another rig, comments
were different.
With the goal to keep an eye to modulation quality/clean, in a previous post
I suggested to add to p3 (sleeping at tx time HI) the possibility to show
during tx time info about wave form or whatever else useful. This, in my
opinion, would help to optimize the rig settings and have the maximum
without producing rubbish into the air  not only when in PSK, isn't it ?
73 to everybody !

[Elecraft] [K3] Suggestions/Considerations speaking of digimodes functionality

2011-02-01 Thread ik1bxn

Hi you all!
I'm using my k3 in digimodes connected to a Mac Mini with XP Pro virtualized
in order to execute Ham Radio Deluxe. As this pc has no rs232 interface I'm
using,of course, adapter (Keyspan in my case because I heard it's one of the
few OSx certified). For AF and PTT I have a Signalink Usb. I have a second
232/usb adapter just to interface IC 2820 for DSTAR. Everything works
perfectly except that often booting the VM XP, COM port number assignment
changes and I have to touch manually COM port number to get my radios
working, even if I set 232/usb adapters to work in "geographic" mode, so
with a "static" com port nr assignment.
This stated (but I feel it's relevant to many operating system not only VM),
I wonder a couple of things :
1) are thinking to integrate inside k3 a native Usb port? It would mean that
it would be no longer required to install on the pc a driver for 232/usb
adapter, avoiding this way COM port number changing at boot.
2) are you thinking to integrate inside k3 an interface similar to Signalink
? This would fix forever problems that I had (but I read other collegues are
having) such as LINE input/output signal level settings and PTT
Thanks for patience and attention !

Re: [Elecraft] P3 in TX consideration/suggestions ... maybe stupid

Ciao John, I quote 100% what you wrote ! My dream should be to use the
fantastic P3 also at tx time having there all info it's useful to have in
order to be sure that tx is optimized. 
I intend P3 as a powerful measurement instrument not only a panoramic useful
device .Right now you have to buy external 3rd part device such as LP-100a
or LP-500 to get this kind of info/values. 
Of course it will take a time and a cost to develop this features, that's
not up to me to decide if proceed of course.  
I proposed to start with the info all already available at K3 (I think) such
as RF power, SWR and ALC just to start giving to P3 a role also in TX.

[Elecraft] P3 in TX consideration/suggestions ... maybe stupid

2011-01-15 Thread ik1bxn

Hi guys !
I noticed P3 is out of game at tx time, in rx it is simply wonderful. I
wonder if it should be possible/useful/intelligent to display at it during
tx time info such as :

RF power
SWR value
ALC value

in big fonts in order to read values at a glance

Wonderful ,in my opinion, it should be to have at it in future a digital
vector wattmeter (maybe it's already in plan)

What do you feel ? Is this a stupid and void proposal or not ?

[Elecraft] Backup/Restore current configuration via file

2011-01-08 Thread ik1bxn

Is it a way to dump to a file the current k3 configuration ? I think to all
settings, for example to activate   digimodes with my Signalink interface I
touched mode, line level input and so on. My goal should be to have a
reliable restore point to rollback in cause of my errors during future
setting modification temptatives. Many thanks to everybody, HNY 2011 and 73

Re: [Elecraft] k3 and Ham Radio Deluxe button "Menu" what is it for ?

2010-10-20 Thread ik1bxn

Many thanks Jens ! On today I pressed it thinking it was a way to access menu
as the front k3 panel...but watching  what it was doing I thought "oh
noo HRD is modifying k3 configuration in such way"  feeling worried
! Now thanks to your confirmation I feel better as I did not touch anything
via that HRD window.Thanks a lot and 73 ! Giorgio

Re: [Elecraft] k3 in Data mode+Signalink Usb how to check proper level

2010-10-09 Thread ik1bxn

Thanks a lot Don for the quick, clear and exhaustive suggestion you just gave
me ! I just went to see and my regulation was 90% ok, now it's ok (4 bars
and 5th occasionally flickering). No I did not need to place the jumper to
increase output signal. Day after day i must say this rig is wonderful, I'm
really satisfied with it ! Thanks again , have nice weekend and best 73,
Giorgio

[Elecraft] k3 in Data mode+Signalink Usb how to check proper level

2010-10-09 Thread ik1bxn

Hi! For digi modes I put my k3 it into Data Mode and I use a Signalink Usb
external interface rear connected. Everything' s working but I'd like
suggestion to verify that I set properly Signalink interface output level
and/or rear input k3 level control in way I have a correct and full
modulation. Could anybody suggest me how to check it ? I'm thinking to ALC
meter but I'm not sure it works when using rear input plug. Many thanks in
advance, best 73 de Giorgio

Re: [Elecraft] K3 filter centering different behaviour from band toband

2010-10-03 Thread ik1bxn

Bingo !!! It was that ! in 15m and 10m I had AFSK A instead of DATA A I
had in 20m. Correct now it's is OK. Many many thanks to VE3KI Rich and
VE3FPR Don for suggestion ! As I thought playing with the new toy like a
children on Christmas morning I made different setup without thinking it's a
per-band parameter , what a wonderful rig ! 73 , grazie ! Giorgio

Re: [Elecraft] K3 filter centering different behaviour from band toband

2010-10-03 Thread ik1bxn

Hi Dave, thanks for quick response. No, I change band via Cat command by
using Ham Radio Deluxe, the suite I use for digi modes. Now tried to change
band by using the k3 front button but it's the same:moving Shift knob I
can't choose less than 1100 Hz in 15m and 10m. It's just from the HRD
waterfall that I noticed the difference, in 20m I have a larger region to
transmit (from 400 Hz to 2700 Hz or wider), in 15m and 10m I have power out
only in the right half of the waterfall screen (from 1100 Hz to 2800 Hz).For
that I tought I touched some Dsl setting in wrong way. It happend to me in
the past something similar with a TS-480 but then I found out the correct
setting to have quite all waterfall available for transmission (as it is on
20m with my k3).Tnx and 73 Giorgio

[Elecraft] K3 filter centering different behaviour from band to band

2010-10-03 Thread ik1bxn

Hi you all! I own a k3 since 3 days so probably what I'm writing should be a
stupid question, sorry for this. It happens that in 20m band I can center
(or better shift) filter from 400 Hz to 4000 Hz, in 15m and in 10m I can
only between 1100 Hz to 4000 Hz. I'm sure I did some mistakes during these
days playing because I think I'd expect same behaviour in any band isn't it
?  but I can't find a way to properly correct my mistake and rollback.
Many thanks in advance for patience to anyone will answer and help me or
simply will read this message.73 de Giorgio
